[There's a lot of clunk sounds suddenly and a lot of angry muttering on the other end.]

THIS TASTES METALLIC AND GROSS AND NOT WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR. MAYBE MY TONGUE TURNED OFF? IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? HOW DO THESE BUTTONS WORK? WHAT IS THIS THING? WHERE IS MY CANE?

WHERE AM I? [That mumbling has turned more into yelling and it sounds like she isn't even aware that its recording.] THIS WORLD SMELLS LIKE NOTHING. A WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

[If you're in New Bark Town, you'll probably see a girl sitting on the ground with her Dratini. She's shaking her Gear like that will actually do something. Otherwise, she looks really upset right about now. She keeps patting the area around her whenever she tries to pet her Dratini. Honestly, she keeps missing that damn thing completely. How do function in real life?]

There's no doubt in my mind that you're a lovely person! [ The most naive Johtoian... ]

It is! It's very cute from what I've seen, yet super duper powerful!

voice

[searsblindly]

Whenever you get this said pokebeast, please contact me! It will really make this entire situation much more pleasant for me. [At the very least, Terezi will actually probably have it basically attached to her hip.]

I'm going to make sure Pyralsprite will be just like that.

voice

[tendered]

They're hard to get but I know I can definitely get one if I try hard enough! I definitely will! Maybe I'll just buy and egg and send it to you...

Hehe! Good! I bet he'll be super adorable and the best dragon to ever be in Johto!

voice

[searsblindly]

Whatever is easier for you. I wouldn't want you to spend too much on this! But I'll take very good care of it once received. It would be rude of me otherwise.

I'll make sure of that!

voice

[tendered]

I think I'll try to catch one, so you can get the pokémon right away rather than wait for it to hatch, which might just cause more frustration. [ She'd be impatient for such a wonderful pokémon if she was blind too... ]

voice

[searsblindly]

You are a very thoughtful person. Perhaps I was mean to assume otherwise right on the get go. I don't think most would go through that kind of work for my sake.

I am willing to wait as long as the results are suitable.

voice

[tendered]

I'm glad you think I'm very thoughtful. Most people would agree! One time, my best friend, Toshiro, said I am a little too thoughtful, but I'm not quite sure what he meant by that, you know? [ She nervously giggles. Oh, Momo, you truly are naive... ]

voice

[searsblindly]

They probably mean that you are too nice! Like you think too much for others and not enough for yourself. [She can guess why they'd say that.]

voice

[tendered]

If that's what they mean, I disagree. It's much better to think for others and stuff, because then they think of you. [ Or that's what she's expecting anyways. ]

voice

[searsblindly]

But then they might walk all over you and take advantage of your kindness!

voice

[tendered]

That would never happen! [ Momo grins. ] Any act of kindness warms the heart. Even if they may not be grateful at first, they'll eventually warm up because I keep doing things for them!

voice

[searsblindly]

Do you really think all people are like that? There are cruel people out there, you know!

voice

[tendered]

All cruel and evil people are usually very outward and forthcoming with their intentions because that's just how they are. [ Those rose colored classes have literally pinkened the entire world, Terezi. Do you taste it? ]

voice

[searsblindly]

[Oh no. You're endearing in a really stupid way. She almost wishes she could tell her otherwise, but then that might blow her own cover. Not that she is cruel and evil! But she has dastardly ways that might kind of dance on that fine line.] I've met some who are very sneaky about their evil ways! It's why I'm going to grow up to stop people like that.

voice

[tendered]

[ Oops. Well, when Momo discovers this she'll go batshit. No worries! ]

I don't think anyone could be sneaky enough to get by me! I mean, I'm a lieutenant after all, and I can tell when my division members lie about something, but that's because they're nervous about the consequences of things like eating all of the persimmons! [ ...Momo you are so hopeless sometimes u_u ]

I'm sorry someone betrayed your trust once! That's awful!

voice

[searsblindly]

Eating persimmons is the last thing you should really be worrying about. [Uh...]

You get used to it! Awful things.

voice

[tendered]

Well, our squad really likes them so if someone eats all of the persimmons... [ then it's bad. ]

Really? That must sound awful! I can't imagine having miserable things happen to me everywhere I go... [ too bad it's going to happen soon. ]

voice

[searsblindly]

Aren't there bigger things to worry about than if someone eats a bunch of food? [Damn, life sounds easy if that's the case.]

I'm surprised you haven't already dealt with miserable shit always happening! I thought that was like, a default life thing! Life is always on hard mode or something.

voice

[tendered]

Um yes, but running an entire division requires a lot of peacekeeping skills so I was just listing the most recent scenario off the top of my head. [ She's just a mess, ignore her Terezi ): ]

I have dealt with hardship but it wasn't too difficult. The afterlife is kinda like that. I know I had it really easier than a lot of people, cause I'm from the richest district and if what the poor districts are described as is true... [ And she knows they are... ] I'm really lucky in that regard.

voice

[searsblindly]

You can't just buy more of these...whatever persimmons are. It would help if I knew what they were passed being edible.

Oh! So you know what it's like being dead! Here I thought I wouldn't know more people who are dead but not so dead. Then again, I'm not surprised! I think that just happens to be the story of my life. I can smell dead people. [Completely off topic.] Dead people have rich and poor districts? What.

voice

[tendered]

We can but squad five's persimmons are the best persimmons! They're very delicious and very tenderly cared for as they're being grown.

Yeah! I mean, I guess I'm dead, so I do know what it's like to be dead. I also know what it's like to pass people to the afterlife. [ And. Yeah. Momo just grins. ] Yep! The afterlife is sorted into 80 districts that go North, South, East and West. The 80th district is so unruly and warmongering, that it's hard to even live there. There's nothing you can subsist on, unless you subsist on blood. The first district is very wealthy and clean and there's no hooligans at all.

What do dead people smell like? [ She wished she had that trait. She just senses them. ]

voice

[searsblindly]

Oh. Your afterlife sounds really weird! But it's probably more normal compared to living in dream bubbles full of memories and being able to talk to people who are alive and traveling through. In retrospect, none of that really sounds like it made much sense.

It depends! Everyone has a different smell because I smell colors. I was joking about smelling dead people specifically! If you switched on your video, I would be able to make you out by your taste. At least, that's what I used to be able to do! I guess humans don't really get that here so I'm stuck smelling air and grass.

voice

[tendered]

We don't have dream bubbles, and I'm not sure what those are, but that doesn't sound too strange. I mean, I know this one girl whose afterlife was created by something called Horrorterrors. I can't even imagine what that must be like. [ Besides mostly scary. ]

Humans can't smell or taste colors. They can only smell scents. But, on the bright side, there's a lot of ways one can change their scent! I smell like peaches. But I wonder what I'd taste like to you...

voice

[searsblindly]

We must be talking about the same thing! Feferi talked to the Horrorterrors and that is why we have dream bubbles! Horrorterrors are kind of monstrous, but they're not that bad I guess! And they gave all our dead friends a place to move onto! And we can even still meet them, even if it's briefly.

I would tell you if I could, but I can't! Maybe in the future I'll be able too and I can tell you then.

Re: voice

[tendered]

Well, I don't know a Feferi. I know an Aradia though. [ Does that help? She thinks it helps. Kinda. ] I'm glad you still get to see them though.

Hmmm! Okay! It's a deal! I'll help you get back your powers too!
