[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.]]

Oh, you need a suggestion for someone to grubsit Gamzee?
I bet Aradia would be happy to do it!

Thank you, Vriska. I'll be sure to inquire about it when she gets here. All that's left to do is wait now.

How has your time been in Johto so far?

[8luh8luh.livejournal.com]

No problem! You can always come to me if you need any more help like that!

Well, I guess besides the cold it hasn't been so bad. The weather has been hindering training but I've managed.
How about you?

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

I will do that, thank you.

It's been a trial with the weather and a Pokemon who feels he is simply too cool to battle, but fair enough. I cannot wait to finally reach Violet, so I may have a small time to rest.

I am sure everyone will want to leave Violet soon though once we've finally arrived.

That's too bad about your pokemon being "too cool" or whatever! Personally, I wouldn't even bother with it if it were so troublesome. But hey, to each his own!

What makes you say that?

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

Thankfully I have caught a different Pokemon since then. I am hoping the other will mature out of this stage, since he is apparently just an infant still.

From the sounds of it, many of those waiting for us in Violet are anxious to leave, as they have been there a while. Unless the weather causes problems, or perhaps another person shows up whom we would need to wait for, I am sure they will want to leave soon.

[8luh8luh.livejournal.com]

Then I hope for your sake that it grows out of it!

That's a little selfish of them, don't you think? What about all of us who still have training to do before they take on the gym leader! I guess that's just expecting too much of Karkat and the others then, to be so considerate.

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

Mm, it's also somewhat understandable.

Hopefully you'll be able to get in training during the trip. I am sure there will be plenty of opportunities. Though I've heard Dave has yet to challenge the gym, so I'm sure he won't let Karkat leave until he does.
