1 ✿ [video/text]

[ 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. ]

Arianna, and three other administrators...

[She writes that down, too, then holds up a finger for a wait a second gesture as she pulls up the video. Finally she's got a visual image of Bowser instead of just hearsay. She doesn't watch the reactions just yet, just Bowser's gloating speech, and her lip curls. What a moronic excuse for a villain. When it's finished, she makes sure to save it to look over more carefully later.]

But Momo... if you're on the same team as this guy, can you? I mean, it's not like you wanted to be there, but... are you going to be okay? It might be a better idea for you to try to get out of there.

[Using her as a mole had seemed like a good idea at the time, but she had a bad feeling that Momo would just get caught for it...]

I'm not sure. I guess I can sabotage them in secret! I know how to conceal my presence when it counts and my pokémon are skilled when it comes to making smog screens and the like... [ She kinda considers what she's doing. ] I'm a lieutenant of squad five, and one of the best disciples of Captain Aizen who is a prodigy! He'd be so proud of me if I stuck to my swords and fight evil! A Shinigami's duty is to fight evil!

If you think you're up to it, I'm definitely not going to discourage something like that. And any information you can get me, that'll be a huge help.

Just... be careful, Momo.

I will! I'm not reckless or anything! [ As long as Aizen isn't involved. ] We'll work together! I'll relay the information to you and others and then you guys can attack!

Yeah, that's a great idea. And you know Sasuke-kun, right? If for whatever reason you can't reach me, you can give any information to him, too.

[She's still not completely sure about Sora and Riku and Kairi for something like this... or Obito, Chuunin or not.]

But don't do anything to put yourself at risk. I'll make sure you always know my location, so you can get to me if you ever need to leave where you are, okay? I'm in Celadon right now.

I actually don't know Sasuke. I only heard of him, mostly because Bowser taunted him. We never met.

[ Even though Riku helps run the anti-rocket organization, only Momo should be trusted!!!!!! ]

Okay! I'll tell you my location too in case you ever want to meet up! I have a second uniform and we look like we're the same size so if you ever want to tour the base or something, just let me know! [ Yes, Tenten. She's suggesting you dress up with her in amazing, possibly pointless, espionage. ]

Short, black hair like feathers, [she held up her hands behind her head in a somewhat reasonable approximation of his duckbutt hair], is around my age and generally doesn't talk a lot. He'll have a headband like mine.

[If only someone had seen fit to tell Tenten about Riku doing that... All she's got is this idea of a guy who let his friend put ribbons in his hair while he slept.]

Got it! You never know, that might be useful someday.

[Sounds like a future mission!]

He looks like a duck....? [ That's just weird. ] I'll be sure to look out for a headband.

It might! Sometimes the least useful things turn out to be really really useful!

Only his hair looks like a duck. The headband's probably the easiest way to spot someone you can trust, if it's got this mark on it.

You never know! Infiltration was never something I did too much of, but how hard can it be?

Does he ever change the style? Or does it perpetually look like a duck? [ She notes the mark and draws a very similar copy of it. ]

I don't think it can be too hard. No one has said anything to me about how out of place I am here. [ And she is kinda sticking out like a sore thumb with her kind temperament. ]

I think it always looks like a duck, [she confirmed. Picturing Sasuke with any other style just seemed weird.]

Yeah... you definitely don't seem like a bad guy. I don't know how you could have ended up there in the first place.

Well, if it does look like a duck to me when I meet him, I'll be sure to tell you. [ Tenten: you will be vindicated! ]

Yeah... I wonder how rockets are selected in the first place. One of my best friends ended up as a Rocket too and he's not really a bad guy. He's a little too confident but that doesn't make him bad. [ In fact, they're both very vulnerable to emotional manipulation! ]

Great! [Yes! Assemble: Team Prove-the-Existence-of-Duckbutt!]

Who's that? Your friend? Do you think he could work with us?

My friend's name is Izuru Kira, and I'd like to think he'd help us, but he went home. [ Beat. ] So he can't. [ Sorry, Tenten ): ] We were briefly partners here! And now I have his pokémon so I guess I work as a one woman team!

Oh... I'm sorry I didn't get to meet him. But if you're able to train with his team, that's kind of like having him here, right?

It's okay, but I think you would get along. Or at least, you'd get along with how he used to be. He's a little different now. [ Like, he's majorly depressed now and she thinks Tenten doesn't have time for that. ] And yeah! Having his pokémon here kinda gives me a strong spirit! I can't ever let himself or myself down, because his team is now a part of mine!

Well, maybe someday, if he comes back...

[Though she's not sure how to feel about that. After all, what would it be like to go home, and then suddenly be yanked back out of nowhere? No thanks!]

That's the right way to look at it, I think! That way, it's almost like he's fighting beside you~

He'd probably be from around the same time period as I am! [ She shrugs. ] I hope he remembers it, about a 50 years later... [ She totally hopes. ]

Yeah! I'm sure all of the lieutenants and captains are by my side in spirit. Except for Captain Mayuri, and probably Captain Kenpachi... [ ....She gulps at the mention of them. What scary creatures. ]

I'm sure he will, but he just might not know that it's okay to talk about it... maybe. [She just shrugs, not sure one way or another.]

What's wrong with Captains Mayuri and Kenpachi?

Maybe. He's a private person, so whatever happens, it'll make sense if he doesn't want to talk about it. [ Mostly because it'd be so awkward! ]</small.

Nothing's wrong with them! [ She's a bit too defensive wit the way she responds to that. She looks both ways before she whispers. ]

They're just really really crazy. Captain Mayuri is allowed to experiment and torture people in order to test his new science experiments and Kenpachi always picks fights no matter where he is. He always lives to fight and it just makes his squad a bunch of bullies sometimes!

That sounds... wow.

So even Shinigami can have the same flaws as humans, huh? That's something we don't always hear about in the stories, but if it's like having a second life, I guess it would make sense. But what's there to experiment on with dead people? Aren't they just like... [She waves a hand, clearly in what's meant as a ghosty gesture] Smoke and spirits and stuff?

It's not perfect. Everyone has a flaw or two, but some people are a bit more flawed than others. [ She's being as diplomatic as possible. ]

And no. Your soul becomes a physical entity when you're in the afterlife. Otherwise, it's just inside you, kinda like a kidney.

I don't know if you can call that a bit... [What's diplomacy?]

Weird to think about, though. I'll have to keep that in mind, I guess... if my world even works like that. I wonder if shinigami are like that where I'm from...

They're against the corruption of souls, and, as a result, keep the entire reincarnation cycle going so the worlds don't collapse. They're a little gruff, but, their expertise and strength makes them invaluable to operations, so we have to tolerate them. [ In other words: we wish they were saner but they aren't. ]

I think Shinigami are universal, but that's just from my experience. They'd probably be similar in rank and organization.
