( ley line )

 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. ]

[ on the contrary, he thinks that all of this magic business is pretty damn cool! it's something he's completely unfamiliar with; as much as explaining Pokémon and their role in his world to others has been interesting, he's found himself increasingly curious about other people's worlds and how they work. ]

Well, you've sounded pretty honest to me so far! No reason not to not trust you, unless you're planning on casting a spell on me...

[ but he can't help flirting just a little, of course. he doesn't know who's on the other side of this ley line, but she sounds cute! ]

I'm the tall, dark and gorgeous one, yeah.

[ The flirting is met with an amused laugh; she's not bothered that it's over such a public network. In fact, the playful tone is easily returned: ]

I'm without my magic here, you know. The only spells I can cast without it are the type that make people wanna dance with me.

So unless we have a big dance party, or you need help learning the game in the BATHzone, you're probably safe for now~

[ and of course, neither is he! public forum be damned; it's in Raihan's nature to shoot his shot a little, even if it doesn't go anywhere. there's a playfulness to it, and he's just happy that she seems to at least play along. ]

I'll have you know that I'm pretty awesome at that it already! Look for "Raihan" on the high scores next time you're there, if you're looking for a challenge. [ he's not the highest one on the board (predictably), but was pretty high up last time he checked. ] But I won't say no to a dance the next time the void decides to throw a party, either... how about it?

[ Oh, and it's a name she recognizes - naturally from seeing it on the scores, where Rinoa herself is also among the highly-ranked names. She grins. ]

You've got a deal, Mister Raihan.
And by the way, if you're looking for a challenge yourself, make sure you look for "Rinoa", okay? I'll do my best next time.
