babel_hacker | Day 41

[On the screen is one Atsuro Kihara, looking pretty well after he woke up from the strange and unusual coma. If there’s any signs of him being affected by it, he’s not showing it. Gotta keep being normal and all that, plus he is doing well and is back in action.

Speaking of which, he raise hand in a wave and give a grin.]

Hey! Just letting you guys know I’m now starting as a freelancing programmer under AT-LOW Apps. [Did Atsuro just decided to use his usual Internet handle for this? Yes, he did.] If you ever need a program made or an app for the ‘Gear, give me a call and we can discuss the details. The commission price will be based on how difficult it is to make them, so keep that in mind if you want to do business.

[In case there’s unexpected difficulties…]

Otherwise, I’m also working on making games. You’d know if I make them if you see “AT-LOW” in the credits. If you do and give them a try, I’d appreciate feedback on them!

[Hey, he might be a good programmer, but Atsuro will admit he’s only human.]

For everyone else--[Is that another Atsuro draping over Atsuro? No worries, it’s his Zoroark. The real Atsuro leans forward a little, adjusting his stance to Cassie’s weight against his. Cassie smiles and wave at the screen.]--I got myself the Substitute TM, but I haven’t really use it that often. Anyone got some good advice or general strategies for it?

I'm a bit new to all these fancy toys we're given, so y'll have to forgive me if I'm a bit slow ta all of this. So, the 'Gear would be this handy little thin we're talkin' on right now, I've got that. The games I'm used to involved sticks and balls, but I'm thinkin' it's a bit different, what you're talkin' about...

Yep. Their full name is the PokeGear, but some people just called them 'Gear for short.

[Someone who's unfamiliar with this kind of technology and the context when he mentioned games. It's been a while since he explain things to someone like that.]

That's right. The games I'm talking about works a little different from what you're familiar with. They're games you can play on these 'Gears.

Ya don't say! [His Mime Jr. gives an excited little noise of her own.] What kinda games then?

Mostly puzzles and games that requires some quick reactions and thinking.

[Cassie notice the little Mime Jr. and gives a wave, while still using Atsuro's appearance.]

Tetris is a classic example of it and it's one of the most famous video games around.

Quick reactions? Well, like ta think I have some on me! Suppose I'll have to ask Angel on how to figure this out, she seems to have a better idea than me when it comes ta these things.

[Joker nods to Cassie.]

Looks like yer twin isn't as much of a talker as you are.

I'd recommend that! It's usually easier if someone show you how they work, plus it can be fun as well.

[Atsuro just smiles and nods.]

Cassie here can look like me, but she only really talks if she wants to.

Can look like..?

Cassie.

[At that prompt, the illusion dissolves and a Zoroark is now standing there with a grin at her snout. A moment later, she is now a Nidoqueen.]

She can use illusions.

Oooh!

[Joker goes to clap, only to awkwardly pause when he remembers he kind of... doesn't have his prosthetic anymore. Whups. Fortunately, Angel takes up applauding duties and with enthusiasm.]

Now that is a handy trick! Did ya start out with her, or did the two of ya find each other along the way?

[Now that's a bit of awkward, before Atsuro moves on and answer the question.]

Nope! I got her egg from someone as a trade, but I raised her ever since she hatched.

[If it makes Atsuro feel better, Joker doesn't seem too bothered himself.]

I see. I was thinkin' I could ask one to partner up with me for future ventures. You'll have ta tell me if you hear about anyone offerin' up that sorta deal again.

[That sounds weird to him because eggs and foxes, but so has everything else. He's sort of given up trying to make sense at this point.]

Sure thing. People usually announce it over the network on the 'Gears, so you just have to keep an eye out as well. Otherwise, you can also check if the Breeding Centre have any Zorua eggs in stock.

[The Pokemon world will always be strange for them. Atsuro's given up on questioning certain aspects, but for the rest? He can have fun figuring out the logic behind them.]

Thank ya kindly for the tip! Ended up learnin' a bit more than just about games, it looks like, although we'll be sure to give those a try too.

[Angel gives an excited nod, looking forward to it already.]

You're welcomed! The folks over at the Breeding Centre are good people and their service is good, so you can have a good experience with them.

[He's a bit biased because he knows the owner and founder.]
