12th Grail: [Video]

[dressofheaven]

So. I'm looking at this map for my next destination, and I have two questions.

One. Is it really necessary to go through Mount Mortar in order to reach Mahogany Town? That sounds like a truly unpleasant hassle.

Two. Once we actually reach Mahogany, what's there to do there aside from challenge the gym? Should we be looking into just moving on right after or is there a reason to stay?

[Because honestly if it weren't for the Safari Zone she'd have seriously regretted staying in Cianwood this long.]

And speaking of travel... Kairi, Riku, Sora, we'll be leaving for Goldenrod this afternoon, though we won't be staying there long. On a related topic, congratulations on your Storm Badge, Joker.

Either that or helicopter.

[dressofheaven]

[She was not expecting that answer.]

Well, that certainly isn't standard. Were you rich? Or was it part of your job?

[majorcrotchgrab]

A bit of both. It was generally the latter though.

[dressofheaven]

That's pretty impressive, actually. And what sort of job was it? Did you work for some big company?

[majorcrotchgrab]

Military.

[And that's all he'll say on that matter.]

[dressofheaven]

Oh.

[Well that answers that question pretty nicely. And suddenly she doesn't want to hear any more.]

[majorcrotchgrab]

[Her answer does pique his interested a bit. A cruel change to troll?]

... Not fond of it, I take it?

[dressofheaven]

It's a long story. And not one I really like talking about.

[Which is a not-so-subtle hint to leave it be, whether he takes it or not.]

[majorcrotchgrab]

Of course.

Just know that not every military is bad.

[dressofheaven]

It's not really about them being bad or good, honestly.

Anyway. It's not like it matters here. The largest any army gets is six.

[majorcrotchgrab]

It is rather nice with things being so laid back here.

[dressofheaven]

True! Though it's not always so peaceful. Have you run afoul of Team Rocket yet?

[majorcrotchgrab]

I haven't. The only thing I heard about them was with that train hijacking.

[dressofheaven]

Well the ones responsible for that were some of the less powerful and experienced members of the team. They're an organized crime group, and while they sometimes go months without doing much, when they do act they tend to be very bold and dangerous. Bombs, mass Pokemon kidnappings, that sort of thing. Watch out for them.

[majorcrotchgrab]

I will.

I've dealt with worse though if that's what they specialize in.

[dressofheaven]

Then I suppose you have nothing to worry about. Or at least I can't think of anything else to mention.
