 [ The feed turns on to see a little, small room. There's a candle lit, and a girl's face complexly looking into the feed. A Sunkern in her hand chirps. It's obvious whoever is operating this thing doesn't really have much of an idea on good angles, or how to actually use the video camera. She turns the PCD to the ceiling, where a Woobat and a Shiny Zubat are both sleeping. It then turns again to see an Ekans wrapping itself tight around a sleeping Torchic before it turns back to Momo.

Once she has the feed pointing back at her, Momo blinks twice before beginning. ]

Is this... Is this on? Hello guys! Hmm, let's see! I'm Momo Hinamori! I've been mostly just trying to adjust and learn how to get settled in so I wouldn't ask any questions you guys probably heard a hundred times before! So, now, that I'm settled in, I kinda have a question. It's about Team Rocket...

[ She pauses. ]

They're charitable freelance dentists, right? [ ...Yeah. Leave it to Momo to be so off subject... ]

And, uh, have any of you ever got people from home come here but they're like younger than what they used to be? One of my close friends arrived here, except he was from a time where we were both in school. And then one of my friends showed up here as a little kid and then they both went home really quickly. Why do people show up here and just leave anyways?!

Also! If someone sees Princess Gorgeous - I think that's her name - please let me know I'm looking for her! She looks a lot like Hayate, except she's an impostor. [ She's very timid with this whole network thing. How many things does she talk about? When is it appropriate to end? ]

Ahh! Sorry for all of the questions, I guess I just have a lot on my mind! I'll talk to you guys all later! Thank you for listening! [ She kinda lingers on the feed for half a minute before realizing she needs to turn it off. So she'll fumble around with her pokegear until it actually turns off. ]

[video] MOMO AT LAST YAY

[ex_aeroga402]

People come here from different points in time, so sometimes they're older or younger than we remember them being. It happens a lot, and we don't really know why things work the way they do.

But I know for certain Team Rocket isn't a group you want to get mixed up with. They're thieves and terrorists.

[video] aww thank you ;o;

[tendered]

Oh! I guess that makes sense! So it's not just me who gets people from the past! [ She breathes out a sigh of relief. It would be so awkward if she was the only one.

But that sigh of relief stops half way and instead she breaths it back in before looking right at Ventus with a panicked glance. ]

What?! They're thieves and terrorists?! I thought their Raid On City Knockout Evil Tusks slogan in the lounge certainly meant they were just charitable pokédentists! [ She's so confused! What to believe?! What to feel? How safe is it that she just blew Team Rocket's cover?! More will be answered after these words from our sponsors! ]

[video] /o/ so exciting

[ex_aeroga402]

[He shakes his head]

They tried to bomb a train me and my friends were on, for one thing. Several of my friends have been hurt and attacked by them too. If they're using that anagram, they're just trying to hide.

[video]

[tendered]

What?! [ Momo flinches and just kinda goes full animal crossing shock. ] That's awful! Just how do they select members anyways?! And how do you leave... [ She doesn't want to be in such an awful organization. ]

[video]

[ex_aeroga402]

As far as I know, sometimes when people show up here, they're just put into that group. I know someone like that - he didn't choose it, and he didn't stay.

(Filtered)

Did you... [He's not sure he heard that clearly] Are you in Team Rocket?

[Video]

[alonelyworld]

I've heard that Team Rocket has attacked people in the past.

[Video]

[tendered]

Attacked people?! You mean to get their toothbrushes back right? [ Why else would they attack people?! ] Or like, they actually attacked people out of anger and criminal things... [ oh no. this is bad. ]

[Video]

[alonelyworld]

I was told that they're trying to control things. There has to be other reasons though, right?

I mean, they can't all be bad people.

[Video]

[tendered]

I'm not sure. Team Rocket probably has some actually nice members in there [ herself included. ]

But, they do seem like they want total control over people...

[Video]

[alonelyworld]

I wonder why that is.

[Video]

[usedswift]

Hey, Momo! You've answered most of my questions, but for once, I actually know how to answer one of yours. I saw someone already told you, but seconding that -- yeah. Team Rocket? Not the good guys.

The rest of it, sorry, I don't know...

[Video]

[tendered]

This so humiliating! I can't believe I was actually working for these guys! I thought they were dentists! Not harsh, evil people who like to inflict pain! [ but really what's the difference. ]

[Video | filtered]

[usedswift]

[Maybe Tenten should be more upset, but then, she hasn't encountered Rocket personally herself. This could actually be a little useful!]

Hey, it's okay. I mean, if they never outright told you they were doing bad stuff, it was probably hard to tell.

[Though dentists, Momo, really?]

Do you know a lot about the people who are Rockets, though?

[Video | filtered] || UGGGH THEIR CR GIVES ME LIFE

[tendered]

Yeah... I mean, they did tell me to pickpocket and stuff but I just brought them back clothes with really large pockets. They never said anything.... [ Besides heavy sarcastic praise. ]

I know some people who are rockets, and I've heard somethings about the higher ups.

[Video | filtered] || aaaaah cuties I can't even handle hakf;jdsaf

[usedswift]

[Tenten almost facepalmed. Almost. Were all shinigami like this?!]

Momo, pickpocketing means stealing. Like, grabbing stuff out of people's pockets without them noticing.

Do you think you could tell me about some of that? I know there's this one guy at least, who's been threatening one of my friends. Bowser, he's called. Do you know anything about him?

[saxsongs]

I'm afraid you got that little wrong, young lady. Team Rocket is a criminal organization you should avoid at all costs.

video | private

[tendered]

I just learned that. [ Argh! ] What am I going to do now? I mean, I can't exactly just walk out, they'll probably go after me...

video | private

[saxsongs]

[Good thing Ren is alone right now. He's free to talk about this, after checking the surrounding and all.]

There are actually ways to get out, but they're not as easy as "I'll just stop visiting the base". They do keep a check on us, after all. [Why yes, he's also part of team. Nice to meet you?]

video | private || 1/2

[tendered]

[ Hold on. Momo's too overly focused on the word us. ] You're a rocket too?!

video | private | 2/2

[tendered]

You aren't going to report me, are you?! [ He did say avoid at all costs, but maybe it's because he doesn't want her knowing all of their diabolical schemes! ]

[Video]

[francia]

[France's expression is both amused and a little sad.]

Team Rocket is less dentistry and more inept criminality. A lot of their members do tend to be more freelance than anything else, so you did have a bit of that right.

[France's expression doesn't quite hold onto the good humor as he continues, though.]

I, too, wonder why people come and go here in such a fashion. If I may ask, who were your friends, mademoiselle?

[Video]

[tendered]

I don't think they're inept. Some of what they do is very successful [ Now that she knows what they're all about, a lot of the other people's actions make sense! ], but, it's not very visible. I think with bigger things they fumble... [ She recognized that, at least. ]

Their names were Izuru Kira and Nanao Ise! Do you know either of them? We're all lieutenants from my world!

[Video 1:2]

[francia]

[France's lips quirk, somewhat derisive.]

For each of their successes, there's a least three failures.

[He sighs lightly.]

Then again, that does seem to be the nature of this place.

[Video 2:2]

[francia]

[He sobers again at those two names.]

I didn't know Izuru Kira personally, but I did know Nanao Ise both when she was here in an adult form and briefly as a child.

[He pauses momentarily, debating whether or not he should broach the subject before plowing on. His voice remains somewhat apprehensive.]

So, the two of you were colleagues in a sort of afterlife?

video

[tendered]

I'll be sure to keep that in mind then! That makes me at rest, you know? That they have a lot of failures!

[ She might just be ignoring the nature of this place comment, mostly for her own good. ]

Really? She was here as an adult too?! Hmm, I wish I was here for that so she could have explained to me what was going on from the get go... [ Nanao always has her shit sorted, tbh. ] I was here for her when she was a child and I went to go pick her up but the time I was there she ....wasn't. [ her chain got yank'd ): ]

However, we're both lieutenants in the afterlife, so we're the same rank! We also go to the library and read together, and, we're in the Female Shinigami Association! So, we're kinda close. [ They also get into brag offs about their captain as they get their swords polished! ]
