[Audio only. The voice is a rather pleasant baritone.]

Good evening, denizens of this new world, human and pokemon alike. I am Xemnas. Perhaps there will be a few of you who recognize such a name.

[His pleasant tone never wavers; there's almost no emotional inflection at all.] This is a world I know little of. I have studied the information I have been able to find, and this little foal has been very dutiful in attempting to aid me in that search. [At this, there is a small, cheerful-sounding "Blitz!" in the background.]

If one could supply further information, or where to find it, I would be ... grateful. But tell me, countless unknown strangers, is it truly so that the humans of this world avoid combat in favor of asking their pokemon to do it for them? My small friend here seems incapable of fighting anything much tougher than a tumbleweed- [A protesting whinny this time.] -and yet I am to rely on it for my defense against all this strange world might strike with?

[It's thoughtfully said, as if this 'Xemnas' has no investment in the question or possible answers.]

[OOC: yeah I stole the sample post off my app. ;_; guilty.]

[ She emits a sound of confirmation at his first question. His pause was also noted, but what's sort of done, is done. ]

It takes a while for them to hatch, depending on the species, and they're a lot sturdier than they may look. If you want your Grass type, they'll send it to you when you get to a Pokemon Center. [ Pause. ] A place to heal your Pokemon for free.

[Xemnas doesn't ask about it. He's content to wonder, and not pursue it just yet. After all, if he demands answers, he might not gain the information he needs about how this bizarre world functions.]

Hm. Is this healing always free? How frequently might one use it? Presumably you have tended these eggs in the past, how long is .. 'a while'?

[Toting an egg around for months is seriously going to interfere.]

[memoryborn]

It's always free, but people can volunteer to work with the staff if they want.

A week is the usual time given. It's made quicker if they're placed against a Fire type Pokemon. For the stronger species, it might be two weeks.

[ Waiting is waiting. She's pretty sure Xemnas, of all people, could handle that. ]

[Xemnas could be endlessly patient when he had to be. But if he didn't have to be, he preferred prompt results. But two weeks doesn't sound completely awful..]

I see.

[Volunteering: Exceedingly unlikely.]

Possessing no fire species, I suppose the full duration will be required. Again, your assistance has been ... appreciated.

[audio]

[memoryborn]

You're welcome. [ And though he might scoff at her next words, she utters them anyway: ]

Good luck on your trip.

[There's another pause. Courtesy alone demanded he respond properly, not with the dry scorn the idea of luck would normally gain. He's not Luxord. He relies on good planning, not chance. But after a moment, his response follows, just a touch amused again. But only a little.]

Thank you.

[ Blink. And then Xion will quickly close the feed and wonder if that was all real. Oh, man. ]
