[ so it looks like someone is deciding to have a lazy morning, because when the feed clicks on, Labrys is sat up in bed, right in the middle of a giant Pokemon cuddle pile. she's got a book in her hands and going by the title, it looks like some kind of tourist guide. She shuts it once she realizes the feed is on and gives a little huff of a sigh. ]

Hey guys -- or, I guess, anyone who's been ta Ecruteak or whoever's still there -- either one.

I was just wonderin', apart from the Kimono Girls and the towers, what kinda things are there for like, sight-seein' and stuff? I wanna make sure I don't miss anythin' when I go and visit. And uh...

[ she gives a slightly nervous smile. ]

An' I was thinkin' about maybe travellin' to other places too, t'see what they're like. So if anyone knows anywhere in Johto that's good ta visit... oh, an' I'm in Goldenrod right now, if that helps.

Elsa and I are here now, actually! Unfortunately, I don't think they really let you into the Bell Tower. I mean, yeah, you can see it perfectly from the Bellchime Trail, and that's a really lovely walk on a nice day. But they don't really let you in to climb it, since it's such a sacred place and all.

The Burned Tower is really solemn to visit, though. But there's a nice big hole in the middle of the ground that leads to the basement, and you can see some really huge footprints down there! They must be from the three Pokemon that Ho-Oh brought back from the fire, it's so cool! And of course, the kimono girls are all really nice! I was actually thinking about getting Elsa a really nice kimono! We don't really have them back in Arendelle, and I think she'd look great in one! So I'm kind of looking for a place where I can get one now, I'll let you know if I end up finding one!

...Oh, and of course, there's the Gym! And gosh, it's a crazy one! The way the puzzle works is so cool! But the Leader wasn't so tough, if you can deal with Ghost types!

[ nodding along to all this. ]

I heard about the kimonos an' stuff! I mean, I figured they would sell 'em because the kimono dancers are such a big thing... they look real pretty.

[ she's not gonna lie, she would love to buy one herself but she absolutely cannot justify buying something she's never going to wear. sigh. ]

... What kinda puzzles? In the Gym, I mean. I ain't really interested in Gym battles an' stuff but it might be cool to go see, y'know?

I was thinking for Elsa maybe I'd get her something that had cherry blossoms..? Since it's getting into spring and all! Maybe crocuses, too, since those are Arendelle's royal crest...

Well, right when you walk in, the whole entire place is just plain dark. Like, there's a wooden floor to start on, but the rest of it is this super huge black abyss, so you can't really see where you're going! But there are a whole bunch of trainers in different spots on the floor, and you have to kinda go by where they're standing to navigate through it! The path is a little narrow, though, and if you fall off, you get sent right back to the start.

[ ...

WOW.

just. this face. this face forever ]

Ain't that dangerous? Like, real dangerous? I mean, it ain't dangerous for Pokemon that can fly an' them, but people can't fly! Not here, anyway.

So, like, if you fall off this invisible path, someone's gonna end up gettin' hurt!

[loveisanopendoor]

No, no, no, it's totally safe! If you fall off the path, you just get sent right back to the start no problem! There's, like, invisible ghost Pokemon that take you back to the entrance of the gym if you fall off, so it's not like you're gonna hit the ground or anything! You just feel the thrill of falling!

[fortunatetoaster]

... really?

[ that... doesn't sound so bad.

okay the idea of being grabbed by some invisible ghosts is decidedly (unsure), but otherwise... ]

That actually sounds kinda fun... um... do you gotta challenge the Gym when you go inside? O--or can you just go in and take a look around an' see what it's like?

[loveisanopendoor]

You don't actually have to fight Morty, though he's not so bad if you do. You can kind of just walk in and try out the puzzle for yourself if you really want to! Trust me, it's fun! All of the gyms kind of have a gimmick of sorts, but that one's something special!

[fortunatetoaster]

Then I guess I gotta give it a try!

[ because well it sounds fun and if she's gonna go traveling then by god she is going to do literally everything that strikes her as sounding fun ]

What other kindsa stuff d'you think might be fun? In Ecruteak, I mean.
