I'm so curious about what you can't say.

I wonder if there is a cure... is it just a psychosomatic thing? This is way outta my area of expertise now.

That is pica! Also I'm learning now that our "soap eater jones" is a timeline variant of my girlfriend.... hm.

I think they make nontoxic soaps... but yes! Very inedible, very much not food.

The difference is ginger is a food, I think. I approve of ginger chewing. I dont know if I could, its quite a pungent flavor, by itself. But I've had people teach me about all sorts of roots they just gnaw on for energy/flavor all day, some are pretty tasty, actually.

There's better things to eat than soap... I know it looks and smells like candy but it doesn't taste like candy.

lol

Nah, I don't wanna grill you about where you work, I was mostly just curious because I've seen it off the side of a boat a few times and it looks wild, but I didn't really know anything about it.

An artificial island called Paradise... its like something from an anime, hahah.

I believe it!

What's the Aether Foundation like, anyhow? They didn't let me visit when I was in Alola.

No, I'm not hiding in my room because Karen is in the house, that would be ridiculous.

I'm asleep, duh.

I hope so!! If you're not too full after, I thought I could show you the historic district in town, its really fascinating how they've managed to-- well I'll save that for later.

Perfect! If you meet me at the train station, I've got a table for us at a traditional spot nearby. I know the chef, so be ready for wayyy too much food.

Luckily thats pretty avoidable here. Okay! I'll plan something.

Wednesday works for me!

Do you have any dietary restrictions?

I'm so down. I live in Olivine but I'm in Saffron for work most days so those two are easiest for me, but like I said I can meet wherever!

We should get together! I'm pretty free this week and I can easily be wherever.

How long are you in Tohjo?

That's a good point. I can just appreciate from afar.

So well said. A wordsmith. Bravo.

Turns out just blurting out the first thing thats on your mind isn't always the most articulate way to present your thoughts... who knew. I deeply admire people who have the ability to think before, and while, they speak.

I'm always impressed when people are eloquent about things I feel strongly about but could never just like, put words around, y'know? You would think I would be better at it since I talk for a living and I'm stupidly passionate, but I am not.

Wow.

Hey internet friensd I have tooo much rum, what's up

Sorry this wasnt meant as a call out, it just seemed like the convo had moved on and I didn't wanna interrupt, but I had thoughts.

You could always adopt from the local daycare and shelters if you're interested. You deserve to have a life with pokemon beyond your work.

Just saying, not being a trainer does not stop you from having pokemon. I've got dozens and I cant remember the last time I've battled. Old Gold is a rancher so its kinda different for them, but they have hundred of 'mons, and haven't battled in like a decade.

Me neither. Sometimes Silver or Kotone will put on a movie in the house and its like a sleeping potion for me.

The last movie I saw was... uh... I can't remember. I don't really watch movies, come to think of it.

I dont know what either of those movies are.

See any good movies lately?
