[The following message is sent to the Pokegears of John, Eridan, Vriska, Aradia and Gamzee.]

Good day. For those who don't know, I am Rose Lalonde. I am going to attempt in organizing our travel party so we may move on to Violet.
If you are questioning my hand in authority of this matter, you are free to contact John for confirmation.

First, I would suggest everyone prepare for the trip if you have not already. Be sure you have food for the journey ahead, as it will take us at least a week to arrive, perhaps longer depending on how smoothly this goes. Do make sure you have warm clothing for the travel as well. Luckily, Othur has a fire Pokemon to help provide heat. If anyone else also owns a fire Pokemon, do let me know so I may plan accordingly.

We will be meeting in the lobby of the local hotel for preliminary instructions, group preparations and a head count to ensure no one is left behind. In light of how easy it apparently is to get lost within the forest outside of town, I have gone to the locals and one kind man gave me a map for the area, which I have copied and will give to each of you.

Thank you for your cooperation.

[[Rose is sitting in the Lobby with Wooper in lap and Hoothoot in hair, accompanied by the aforementioned Othur who was currently trying to entertain his Togepi, a Quilava leaning against his leg. The rest of his Pokemon were in their Pokeballs and would likely stay there for the duration of the trip. She had already let him know what was going on and how the entire ordeal would be going down, and all that was left was to wait for the others so they would all be up to speed and ready.]]

[He's been sitting next to you the whole time Rose, just playing with Casey and generally not paying much attention. Then he recieves your message.]

Rose...why did you send this to me too? I'm right here, you couldn't just tell me all this?

Written word is sometimes easier to comprehend than spoken. I am just making sure you are on the same wavelength as the rest of the group.

Oh, I see. And don't worry about that, I'm on the same wavelength. Trust me, I'm good to go!

Good. I hope you have properly shopped then, and are ready for the trip ahead.

Ready as I can be!

In that case, I will let you know of this now. I will be implementing a "buddy" system, in which between a pair of people, each is in charge of watching the other.

Is there a preference of who you would like to be paired with, John?

That's a really good idea Rose! [This is why you are the leader Rose, you plan ahead.]

Oh! Uhm. Well, whoever you think is best. I really don't mind who it is. But I'd really like to be with Vriska.

[[She's raising a brow at that expression before jotting the note down.]]

Alright. If Vriska agrees, you guys are partners for the trip.

You'll need to make sure she stays with the group, is warm enough at night, and is in generally good health, okay? Just like she'll need to do for you.

Yeah, sure I can do that!

[Although his mind is stuck on "warm enough at night, warm enough at night, warm enough at night oh god what does this--"]

[[She sees that look on your face.]]

...Perhaps I should choose a partner for you.

Well if you think that's best I won't argue.

[[Siiiigh.]]

Do you think you can handle these responsibilities maturely, John?

...yes? [This is the answer you're looking for right?]

...You sound so sure of yourself.

Fine, but I will not hesitate to switch you if need be during the trip, so please keep your mind in your head and focused on the task at hand?

Will do! [Here, have a salute, captain!]

Good.
