 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. ]

What to ask? I suppose what do they think of us so far. If they are listening to us, we need to figure out how to get along right?

[Or at least, just enough where everyone can work together and figure out why they brought people here.]

[rotomphone]

Hm... yeah, I wouldn't mind hearing what it thinks of us. You think it's picking favourites?

I'm not really sure if "getting along" is gonna be seamless, though.

[ he's had a few less-than-pleasant interactions with some people here so far, despite being friendly with most others. it's only natural that a group of given people don't always see eye to eye on things. ]

[bazooker]

I don't know but I would like to hear what it knows about our worlds. I must admit, I am curious to hear them even if we don't get along!

I'm sure if we get to hear it talk, I'm sure there has to be a mutual understanding!

[Although, this was her being optimistic. As much as she wanted to believe things will be okay, she also can't deny how she would have to use force if needed.]

[rotomphone]

It knows enough to take stuff from them, at least! But then again, it doesn't seem to get them quite right, does it?

[ he can't think of a single area or species that hasn't been merged with something else. even Poké Balls, while relatively normal, seem to be trivial in terms of their rarity or effectiveness in catching targets. ]

Yeah... There's no harm in at least trying to get along. Maybe we'll get some answers from it, but I doubt it'll be as direct as we want it to be.

[bazooker]

I have no doubt we'll get some answers! However, I must admit, I am being optimistic that we will get along.

[She said with a sigh. Was it really that difficult to come to an agreement of sorts?]

[rotomphone]

Hey, I'm right there with you! But at the rate we're going at, I reckon we should get ready for some crazy stuff to happen before we get there. I just hope whatever's listening will give us the benefit of the doubt.

[ they're just as confused as you are, world! be gentle... ]

[bazooker]

I'm sure they will because I'm not sure what else we have. All we can do is to hope for the best and that everything will be okay.

[She said with a small pause]

[rotomphone]

[ that's all well and good, but he takes note of that pause. he's not sure if she's hesitant because she's having trouble believing her own words, or if it's something else... but it's not his place to make assumptions. ]

But if it's not, I'm not just gonna stand around waiting for it to get better. If this place is learning from us, that means it's on us to take things into our own hands if they go wrong. Stay on top of the situation, you know?
