[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!

[He perks up at this and looks at the sweets. He thinks for a moment and picks out a bag of strawberry and cream hard candies.]

Oh, and before w-we leawe, may I go look for somethin'?

[[She takes the bag and heads towards the counter.]]

What are you looking for?

[bemykismesis.livejournal.com]

Just...Somethin'.

[He runs over to the beverage section and starts to do a thorough search. He's practically throwing all of the bottles of soda while searching. He almost gives up until-- what was this? He smiles as he spots a pretty good looking substitute or Faygo. Fanta. He takes 5 of each flavor and walks back over to Rose, forgetting about a,ll of the bottles still on the ground.]

I needed to find a substitute for Faygo for Gam since he's been needin' some.

[[She stares at his armful of soda, raising a brow.]]

I'm not paying for that.

[[She then buys the candy he had chosen, waiting for him outside.]]

[He scoffs and pays for them with the rest of his money. Then he comes out of the mart, holding a bag of the sodas.]

Now, I am going to explain this to you ahead of time so you can decide what you want to do during the trip.

If you are good, and behave, and listen to what I tell you to do, for the whole day, I'll let you have some of this candy for dessert that night.

If you misbehave, and refuse to listen, I will take away a bag of your cheese puffs, and will not return it until we reach Violet. If you run out of food, you will get whatever scraps are left over from everyone else's dinner, and will have to deal with that.

So good behavior equals reward. Bad behavior equals punishment.

Understand?
