[[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.

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.

[p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com]

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.

[video]

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

I do not mind pairing you with someone else then.

[video]

[p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com]

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.

[video]

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

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.]]

[video]

[p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com]

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

[video]

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

[[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!]]

[video]

[p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com]

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.

[video]

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

Alright. However, which one is AA?

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

[video]

[p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com]

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

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

[video]

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

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.]]

[video]

[p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com]

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.

[video]

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

[[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.

[video]

[p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com]

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.

[video]

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

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.

[video]

[p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com]

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?

[video]

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

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.

[video]

[p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com]

Eckthactly. And TZ'th kind of weird anyway tho it'th alwayth better to know where the ith tho the doethn't jutht pop out of nowhere and thurprithe you.
