gotta happen

[betabangs]

Heeeellloooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

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

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellloooooooooooooooooooooooo?

[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!!

[savedover]

Of course. I can't lose track of time.

[deserthobo]

Yes! I am currently collaborating with Magma Grunt May. We are building a Secret Base together!

[deserthobo]

... ... oh, I should not have said that. Now it is not a secret...

[betabangs]

I won't tell anyone! I promise!

[betabangs]

Even if you did, I'm sure you'd find it again!

[Blue wait.]

[deserthobo]

Ah! Thank you! I appreciate your discretion.

[savedover]

It's just an idiom, moron.

[betabangs]

[.....]

Well, even if it wasn't!

[betabangs]

On one condition. Can I visit it when you're done?

[savedover]

[This is a very unimpressed look, Blue.]

Are you done with this pointless line of conversation, or are you going to continue to chatter on about it?

[deserthobo]

Ah, but... if you came to visit it, it really would not be secret...

[But, but, if she spreads the rumor around and it becomes common knowledge...!]

[betabangs]

I guess not...

[Twiddling thumbs. But, but...]

I promise I won't ever mention it again and I won't ever visit it except for the one time you let me?

[betabangs]

[Grumpy gills.]

Will you help me catch a Pokémon if I stop?

[savedover]

[... ... ...]

Only if you promise to go away.

[deserthobo]

I- would have to ask May, first. If she says yes, then I will take you to visit.

[betabangs]

I promise! I really, really promise! You'll never ever see me after you help me, I double promise!

[...Unless it's by accident, but she won't deliberately seek him out unless it's important.]

[betabangs]

Okay! [A little bounce.] Thank you, Dimitri! It's really nice of you to even think about it!

[deserthobo]

If she says no, I will help you to make your very own Secret Base. [He smiles.] Any Pokemon can learn the TM to make one!

[savedover]

Fine. Follow me. [Silver turns on his heel and briskly walks towards (what he hopes will be) one of the facility's biomes.] Don't fall behind- I'm not waiting for you.

[betabangs]

[She'll be on his heels! Almost right on his heels, actually. She doesn't want to get lost...]

What kind of Pokémon do you think I should catch?

[betabangs]

[Dimitri's definitely the nicest person she's met so far, wow.] Really? You mean it? That sounds really, really great!

[vinetrip]

[... Oh!

Amy will just inhale and...]

HELLO!

[betabangs]

Who's there?!

[vinetrip]

I'M AMY! HELLO THERE!

[betabangs]

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