[When the feed comes on, Kuja is sitting in a room, Karma in a water-basin that's big enough for the fish to at least be in water nearby, Miranda the Pidgey napping on a counter; he's got a sprawl of berries, a couple potions, and a few assorted things picked up from the larger shops in the city where it looks like he's taking notes on trying to compound something.]

Good evening, Johto - I have a few questions, and as much as I would prefer solving this on my own, I find myself with a lack of background knowledge.

[He shifts the gear so that Karma, the Feebas, is a little more in view.]

I admit, I know very little about his species, but as far as I've known in the past, if a creature looks like it's a few moments from clawing out of a grave in search of the flesh of the living, it's generally a sign of ill health, which has me loathe to push the creature and aggravate any conditions. I'm well prepared to put time into finding a way to improve whatever is wrong... but it seems more prudent to swallow pride and ask about any pitfalls, or if anyone has any experience with similar creatures - the last thing I want to do is end up making things worse.

[And then, cutting that...]

[There's a second, private call to Zidane.]

Zidane? We've arrived in Violet.

You were in - [] We must've just missed you.

Well, whatever just happened, at least it seems to have worked out. []

[No worries at all ♥ He did backtrack to meet them, but glitching him is easily done thanks to route's nature]

Seems that way. Least we're all in the same place now, right?

[So adatable, Kuja]

Yes, indeed. We've been staying at the centers, mostly; I believe Ritz is out training, I've been taking advantage of the larger city to see what else I could find for this one. []

We - should make some arrangement to meet. []

[]

What're you looking for in particular?

[And it takes him a moment to respond to that, still trying to sort things out. But Kuja can't do any harm here, if that's his intent, right?

What would the point be?]

I'm outta work for the day, so I've got time.

Anything that would help Karma be less... [] That can't be healthy.

[]

[]

I should get out today anyway ... would one of the parks be alright?

I think Feebas just look that way, but when they evolve they're really different.

[Oh dear, getting pecked to death would not be pretty]

Yeah, I can meet you over there.

[] So I've heard - on them evolving; I imagine I'll figure out how to get that to happen sooner or later.

[]

Alright. I'll be out in a few minutes.

Think it's pretty common knowledge to some of the natives around here. The Nurses in particular seem to know quite a bit.

[Information gathering's been the name of his game since he got here, after all. He can't exactly mug ten-year-olds with a clear conscience]

Alright.

I'll see you there, then.

[Zidane can always ask for him, they're probably accustomed to ignoring come-ons after Brock...

In the meantime, Zidane doesn't take too long to arrive in the park, Cornelia hanging stubbornly from his belt. She still thinks she's his replacement tail]

Gonna wear a hole in the ground at this rate, aren't you?

[When in doubt, crack a joke]
