[betabangs]

[She counts to three, then cups her hands around her mouth again and --]

[It's ringing down every hallway. Fuck yeah echoes.]

For a place that's supposed to be a Lab, it's sure is [Deep breath, girl!]

Emmmmmmmmmptyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!

[Far away, from the opposite wall of the hallway, comes an answering voice:]

Haaaaaallooooooooo!!

[If Blue peers down its vast expanse, she will see someone dressed in red waving their arms excitedly back at her.]

[betabangs]

[A sign of life! She waves her arms right back.]

Hiiiiii!! Whaaaaaat's youuuuuur naaaaaaaaaaaaaaame?

[Blue could totally just go over there, but this shouting thing's pretty fun.]

[desserthobo]

Diimiitriiiiiii!! Whaaaat's youuuuuuurs?

[There's just something fun about having a conversation across such a big distance. He'll come over eventually, but for now it's fun just to shout.]

[betabangs]

[This really is too fun.]

Bluuuuuuuue! B! L! U! E! Bluuuuuuue! Aaand it's niiiice to meeeet youuuu!

[deserthobo]

It's niiiiiiice to meet you tooooooo!

[Blue can't see it, but Dimitri is grinning like the big doofus that he is at heart.]

[savedover]

[From behind Blue, there is the faint sound of static--as if a radio weren't tuned into a station.]

Be quiet. Shouting like an idiot won't get you anywhere. [Oh, it's just a grumpy kid.]

[betabangs]

[Oh. Just like Green.]

You don't oh, uh, sorry. You don't know that!

[savedover]

I do. Unless your goal is to look like an idiot, you're only wasting your time.

[betabangs]

I'm just looking for people to talk to, since this place seems really... [You know. The forbidden word.]

[savedover]

[Silver waits for her to finish her sentence, tapping his foot impatiently.]

Well? Spit it out.

[spiritcrystal]

[--!!]

Echooooooo!

[Someone's gotta be around one of these corners! Time to play follow the (very loud) voice.]

[betabangs]

[!!!]

Echoooooooo!

[She'll hunt too -- a fellow girl, wowee, that'd be exciting to meet!]

[spiritcrystal]

[Hmmm...]

[vinetrip]

I'M AMY! HELLO THERE!

[betabangs]

I'm Blue! B-L-U-E! Blue! It's nice to meet you, Amy!

[vinetrip]

It's nice to meet you, too, Blue! That's a really cute name!

[She'll start walking in the direction she hears the voice.]

[tomboygirl]

[What's that shouting? Dawn shifts the stack of blank paper in her arms and lets out her Crobat.]

Lead the way, Batbi. [Dododo let's go find the shouting girl.]

[betabangs]

[She's not terribly hard to find! After all, she's wandering the halls and shouting...]

Heeeellooooo!!

[tomboygirl]

[Batbi's wings are pretty loud themselves! And when she sees her Dawn'll call out too.]

Hi there!

[betabangs]

[Target spotted!!!]

What's your name! What's that thing next to you! Is it a Pokémon? I've never seeeen one like that!

[tomboygirl]

His name's Batbi, and he's a Crobat! They're native to Johto! I'm Dawn, what's your name?
