 So, random thought: do you think this place is listening to us talk to each other like this? I mean, something here is alive, right? You suddenly get magical veins pulsing everywhere that somehow give us telepathy, plus the fact that there's a bloody beating heart underground!  I don't know about you, but I bet it's all connected somehow. It's got to be!

[ he sounds certain, but just as quickly as his thought ends, another, more lighthearted one follows. this doesn't have to be a Pepe Silvia situation, and he doesn't want it to be. ]

...Either that, or I'm going completely mad. But on the off chance I'm not and my natural genius is leading to some wild breakthrough, humour me for a sec - what would you want to say if you could talk to it directly? [ and before anyone has the chance to answer, he adds- ] And no "Take me home!", 'cuz that's too obvious. 

[ everyone wants to go home. he's pretty sure that's been made abundantly clear by now... or at least he hopes it has. ]

Hah, fair enough! I think most of us have had our share of that at some point.

[ himself included, of course. he still has no clue why Hammerlocke was brought the way it was, or those differing visions of how it got destroyed. there's nothing he'd like more than an explanation about it. ]

I dunno... I get the sense it'd ask a lot of questions. If things don't make sense, maybe it's because it doesn't know any better.

So the world we live in is no better than an infant child? Give me a break...

[ Not that he's any better than a child, but shhh. ]

... I'd ask it if it needs help. For a friend.

C'mon, it makes as much sense as anything else would! I'm not saying we have to tuck it in for naps and sing it a lullaby, but maybe trying to teach it how things should work is worth a try.

[ if he has to teach the world how a Pokémon should be able to battle, he'll do it, damn it! anything to try and bring some semblance of normalcy to this place is a welcome effort. ]

For a friend, huh? [ he chuckles. leave it to Mr. Standoffish to try and brush off the fact that he wants to help. ] That's sweet of them to care. It wouldn't hurt for us to lend a hand where we can, yeah?
