As I see it is that time again in Johto, I would like to make a general "Welcome to the magical world of Pokemon" statement to all new comers. I'm Rose, and if I have not personally introduced myself yet, my apologies.

I would just like to offer my knowledge to you all, especially those of you who are breeders. I'm no expert, but I have gathered many notes over my time here and I always want to share this knowledge.

For those of you with no interest in that, I do still want to talk to you! About what, you ask? Just you.

Hi, how are you? Have we met before? How has your day been going? Or your stay in Johto? It may seem silly to ask this of complete strangers, but I'm genuinely interested.

If you don't mind my asking, where might you be currently?
It's been a little while since we've heard a location update from you, and while I try not to be nosy I do like knowing where you are.

That's because it's true.
You are a human now, so naturally you have human blood.

so are you gonna help me
evveryone keeps tellin me ivve been here before

I suppose I could.
You've caught me in a good enough mood.
What you need to do right now is look at the map included in your back pack.
You should be heading out on Route 29 towards Cherrygrove.
Once there, ask for a map of the forest outside, so you don't get lost. That place can be awful to traverse through.
Head to Violet after that. You can either then go north to the shortcut leading to Goldenrod or south towards Azalea.
Why would you want to go to Azalea? To collect gym badges. The first is in Violet.
Why would you want to do that instead of use the shortcut? Because I am sure there are plenty of people in Goldenrod who would enjoy giving you a punch to the face once you arrive, as you were quite the asshole before.

As to why you would complicate things, you were in a relationship with Karkat before, and now you don't remember.
That might make things terribly awkward.

Any questions?

text

[breedslilacs]

Indeed.
For once she was not at all antagonizing you.
...well, that may be a lie. She could have been using that fact to do such a thing.
But it's still true either way.
