Chapter 17; Video/Filtered Video/Filtered Voice

[Filtered from Bro Strider.]

[[Hello Johto. Have the curious looking Rose Lalonde on your video screens.]]

I have a question. Especially for those who have made it to Azalea and beyond.

When traveling, what has been your most valuable supply? Of course aside from the necessities such as food and water. But is there anything in particular I should possibly obtain for such a trip?

[Video filtered to Karkat]

I've recently spoken with Soul about a few things concerning our travel, and as you are the leader I felt it a good idea to go over the with you, and ask for your opinion on it as well.

It's concerning supplies to take, and letting you know of my general plans on how to go about this.

I wish to be ready to leave at a moment's notice, since that's what it seems will transpire.

[Voice filtered to John]

John, I have plans for you today. Call me when you are awake and able.

Understandable.

As mentioned, I am hoping we'll be able to pool our earnings enough to ensure that everyone has the supplies needed. Dry food will be purchased, as it is the easiest to keep and cook, along with the various supplies needed to cook it and keep it. A few fishing rods will also be bought, and that will supply us with the protein we need. Soul is going to attempt teaching other members of our party how to fish.

Because we have water Pokemon, we will be replacing the disposable water bottles with a thermos an canteen for each person, which will help reserve some money. For those who do not already have a winter coat and pair of gloves, I am hoping to get them one of each. Extra blankets will also be within our supplies to ensure there is plenty of warmth.

I suggested a sort of 'buddy system' method of travel to Karkat, which I believe would be a good way to deal with those of the group who have a harder time staying focused and help keep them on track and with us, but he is merely considering it. If I get the okay, I will be pairing each person with another, hopefully each person with weaker Pokemon will have a partner with stronger, in case something happens. Of course, taking into account the opinions of everyone to ensure nobody is paired up with someone they'd sooner leave to rot than keep an eye on.

There will be a fire Pokemon in front and in back, and hopefully in the middle, to provide us with light. I will also ensure that a water Pokemon is within reach of everyone, so that everyone has access to that necessity.

[[All of this is said while flipping through her notes, which she finally closes.]]

Those are the plans. Whether or not Karkat will listen to any of that remains to be seen, so they are not set in stone yet.

Wow. You've really put a lot of thought into all of thith. I'm not really thurprithed I gueth, but wow.

If there'th anything you need help with jutht let me know, okay? I've got a fire pokemon and a water pokemon, jutht tho you know. And I actually already have a fithing rod, too. I got it for FF before... Well, you know.

I just want to make sure this goes smoothly. We will have quite the group traveling, which can lead to a lot of problems if it isn't organized well.

[[At the mention of what his Pokemon, she opens the notes back up and jots that down.]]

I will be sure to let you know, and thank you for offering your assistance. And...do you by chance know how to use it, or would be willing to learn?

Are all of uth actually going to be going together? Becauthe that'th a lot of trollth to have in one group, and that'th not even counting everyone elthe like you and Thoul and whoever elthe.

I don't actually know how to uthe it but it thouldn't be too hard to figure out. It giveth me thomething to do tho I'm okay with it.

Oh, and I don't know how you're determining what a thtrong pokemon ith but I have one that'th over level thirty and two otherth over level twenty.

Yes, we are trying to keep as together as possible. Hence the buddy system.

By grouping one member whom could cause problems, intentionally or otherwise, with someone capable of keeping an eye on them and hopefully controlling them, this will help to balance out most of the issues we'd come across. If we are able to do this, along with keeping members who clash terribly apart within the group as best as possible, things should go...at least relatively well. Of course, I am still expecting arguments and fights, but substantially less. All we really need is an okay from Karkat.

If you need any help with that, Soul knows how to use one and as I said will be doing his best to teach others.

[[Again, jotting this down.]]

It would be determined once I was able to gather the levels of everyone's Pokemon, though based on that you would likely be in the stronger group. Soul and myself ventured a little into Route 32, to see what the levels were like of both the wild Pokemon and those owned by trainers, to base our opinions on.

...Tho, bathically, you're athigning everyone to a moirail? I don't really thee KK agreeing to that. It thoundth pretty weird.

Yes, and I regret making such a connection to try and help him understand, as that is why we still need an okay for it.

It may sound weird, but it was very effective when it came to ensuring Gamzee and Eridan made it here without hurting themselves, getting lost, or getting left behind.

Well, yeah, I can thee that. They're both pretty hopeleth motht of the time.

Am I in the "cauthing problemth intentionally or otherwithe" group, or am I one of the oneth that can thuppothedly help thomeone elthe make it there thafely?

You would be in the latter, in my opinion. Mood swings or otherwise, you seem to be very level headed most of the time, you are quite intelligent, and willing to listen.

Of course, if you would prefer not to be such a partner, I won't force you to.

I jutht don't think it'th a good idea. I'd probably end up flying off the handle and leaving whoever I wath in charge of behind.

I do not mind pairing you with someone else then.

But I don't really need to be taken care of, either. Tho that'th kind of a wathte of thothe people who'd be better at that than me.

It would still be good to have everyone pairs, simply for the fact that if something does happen to one, the other can alert the group.

...Though now that I think of it, I believe we have an odd number of members...

[[Frowning, she looks down at her notes, trying to figure this out.]]

I don't mind having two partnerth, actually. That would be perfectly fine with me. [someone's obsession with twos is showing.]

[[Glancing up, she considers his a moment, and pens it into her notebook.]]

Alright, that would work.

[[No comment on the obsession, as that idea just seems like a good one, and fits perfectly within their situation!]]

And in that cathe I don't really mind being with thomeone who needth help or whatever, thinthe there'th thomeone elthe there that can maybe help them out.

Although I wouldn't object to being with AA, either.

Alright. However, which one is AA?

[[Perhaps she should just ask for the abbreviations he uses for all the trolls...]]

Aradia. Thorry. We're pretty clothe, though.

[That actually would probably be a good idea. :|b]

I'll do my best to see it you travel together then. But don't apologize. I simply didn't know is all.

And, on that note, perhaps I could talk you into giving me the nicknames you keep for the others as well?

[[Pen and paper are at the ready for this.]]

Thure, I gueth tho. Nobody'th ever athked before. [he gives a small shrug, but goes on anyway.]

Well, you already know KK ith Karkat, right? And AA ith Aradia. Then there'th TV, that'th Tavroth, and NP ith Nepeta, KN ith Kanaya, TZ ith Terezi, VK ith Vrithka, EQ ith Equiuth, GZ ith Gamzee, and ER ith Eridan.

And then FF ith Feferi. Not that it matterth.

[[Making a little list, she nods.]]

It's good to know so I won't be confused or need to ask each time you use a new one.

Maybe. It thouldn't be that confuthing though, not if you know everyone'th nameth. It'th not like they're anything weird.

Oh, and then there'th WN, I forgot him. I met him here and we're friendth, but he'th not a troll. Tho you don't have to try and figure out which one he ith if I talk about him.

I've yet to meet Tavros or Terezi, however. Though you're right. Looking at them now, they make quite a bit of sense.

And alright. I'll wonder not then.

I haven't really theen TV around thinthe we got here, tho I'm not thurprithed you haven't met him. He already beat the gym leader and I think he wath going to go on ahead, but that wath the latht I thaw him. TZ'th been pretty quiet rethently too and I'm kind of worried. The can take care of herthelf and all, tho it'th not that, I jutht thtill want to know where the ith and all, you know?

That is certainly understandable. She's a friend, after all, and it's reassuring to know where your friends are. Especially when plans such as our departure for Azalea are so close.
