[ 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.

Well, the first thing I can say is that you absolutely don't want to spend your whole time here in Goldenrod. I understand the charm it has, but... really, it's worth at least making your way north and spending the rest of your time in Ecruteak, as it's vastly superior. Honestly, even passing through is an experience... although, well, the theater is a good bet for most people. The museum's very nice as well, and you can generally come back after some time has passed and find a new exhibit.

The towers are also worth looking at, though I'm afraid that's all you may be doing for the Bell Tower, as it's off limits to the public for... whatever reason. I've been in it and I presume it was more exciting than it usually is because parts of it were on fire.

Yeah, I getcha. I've never been in a city like this before, an' it's been a whole lotta fun, but I'm kinda gettin' the itch to go see more places, y'know? And Ecruteak sounds like it's a real interestin' place.

[ ... the bell tower though. um. ]

... uh... did somethin' happen to the tower, though? I mean-- obviously, somethin' did if it ended up on fire, but...

Mn, when you have seen cities like it, it's really not anything special. I tend to like places with a lot of history, and Ecruteak certainly has that.

...and ah... I think one of our local lunatics has something against the city, really, because they planted bombs all over it like some sort of pseudo-lethal scavenger hunt.

[ that's

wow.

every time she starts thinking that maybe this place isn't as weird as she'd initially thought, she hears stuff like this and it's back to "no this place is definitely weird as hell" all over again. ]

That's just messed up. Seriously!

No one was hurt or anythin', right? If there were bombs everywhere... did anyone get caught up 'n one?

I'm honestly not entirely sure... the museum and my lawn certainly didn't make it out unscathed, but I don't remember hearing about any actual casualties.

Then again, nobody here dies when they're killed, so it could be that those were the only meaningful ones.

... that's good...

[ seriously, though, that's kind of creepy. the fact that people can apparently get their hands on bombs in a nice place like this...

she realizes she's wearing a rather troubled expression and hastens to fix it into something a little less distressed. ]

Uh-- w--what's the tower like when it ain't on fire, then?

[ ... smooth... ]

Ah... well, I've never been in it when it wasn't on fire because the monks keep out everyone who isn't "worthy," but the view from the top was very nice. It looked like it had very nice wood work inside, but it was fairly empty aside from some very odd construction decisions.
