[The video feed shows a pink-haired teenager who looks incredibly annoyed and like she is on her last nerve. She seems pretty familiar with the Gear, and she's certainly not anywhere near so bewildered as the usual new person in Johto. No, this teenager is probably even a familiar face to some of Johto's inhabitants!

It's Ritz, and she's not at all happy about something...]

I want to know who's responsible for choosing our starters. I really do.

Kuja, if you're still here, let me know?

[A Misdreavus floats into the frame and tries to nudge her trainer, only to get Ritz yelping and cutting the feed after a moment of frantic scrabbling for her Gear.]

[[Wait, is that...!]]

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

You came back!

[Video]

[notcrackers]

Yeah, I am! I didn't mean to leave or anything...

Do you know where- AUGH STOP THAT!

[Ritz is visibly dancing away from the Misdreavus and giving the ghost a filthy look.]

-do you know where Kuja is?

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

Mmm... he said he was going to be in Goldenrod a few more days earlier in the week... if he's not still here, he can't be too far.

Got a hair puller? [[much sympathy there while Amane just cackles]]

[Video]

[notcrackers]

No, I just don't like ghosts and this one keeps trying to- I don't even know, okay?

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

...oh... [[and he looks rather guilty all the sudden. And saddened. But he gets that most people don't like ghosts.]]

[Video]

[notcrackers]

It's just- you remember the Shedinjas, about a year ago?

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

[[he nods]] Yeah.

[[He'd gotten caught by one himself, after all. It'd be hard to forget!]]

[Video]

[notcrackers]

Yeah. What I saw when it happened was pretty bad, so... I can't really stand ghosts.

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

[[he almost sighs at that]] I guess I can't blame you for it... but they really aren't all like that.

[Video]

[notcrackers]

I know. It's just one of those-- things. It's not really that bad, I think I just need to get used to her being around...

[silver_lucifer]

Welcome back.

I hope your new friend isn't causing you too much trouble?

[notcrackers]

Hardly. It's just... well, you know. [Ritz is looking at the ghost, and "fuck my life" is written pretty clearly on her face.]

[silver_lucifer]

At least she seems harmless and friendly enough, like most of the tame ghosts I've seen so far. [Well...not like Amane, but he's going to avoid mentioning that one around Ritz.]

[notcrackers]

Ye-eah. [Ritz is looking at Exodus, and Exodus... is giving her the puppy eyes. Oh god, why.]
