003 [Action + Video]
[action, anywhere in the city, open to all]
'Scuse me, pardon me!
[Perhaps you are relaxing in your room. Or perhaps you're enjoying a dip in the pool or taking a breather in the library. Regardless of the activity in question, the peaceful atmosphere is suddenly broken by the intrusion of someone in a black and white costume carrying a knapsack filled with packages flying through -- yes, straight through. Straight through the wall and out the outer side, tossing out a hurried note of apology along the way.
...In the moments of stunned disbelief afterwards, the girl sticks her head back through the wall and waves a bit to catch your attention. As if it isn't already caught.]
Actually, do you know a 'Dennis'? I'm looking for a Dennis. Or -- maybe this is a P, I can't really tell, but I can't imagine anyone naming their kid that unless they really hated the thought of having kids. ...It's just kind of mean.
[Before too much time can be spent pondering on the dilemma of D vs. P, Phantom Girl thrusts the package she's holding back into her sack and rummages around.]
Oh, I might have one for you, too, actually. Did you order anything from a... 'Nyx's Nightclub' lately?
[Phantom Girl had found a day job, apparently.]
[video, public]
[Some two hours later, an irritated Phantom Girl appears on the screen.]
I can't believe it! They're docking my pay this week! I mean, I don't need it, but that's incredibly unfair.
I thought the point of being a courier was to get the job done as fast as you can; what's the use of plodding about all over the place reading the street signs? It's way faster to do it my way; all of you got your deliveries faster than you were expecting, right? I mean, it's not like you guys have anything to hide in your rooms. And it's not like I opened a package or anything - that's the only privacy concern they should be worried about.
[She continues to stew and mutter aimlessly for a few moments before striding closer to the screen and pointing at it.]
...Seriously, though, did one of you snitch?
((OoC Note: No toilet/shower shenanigans, please!))

Kotoha makes several gestures with the slice of carrot speared on her fork as she explains all this.
"And I'll be sixteen in like two months."
no subject
Given that Phantom Girl was eighteen, she probably had no business using that phrase.
no subject
"Pokemon training has taught me applicable, real-life skills! Things like how to become an international box office sensation, looting ancient ruins, and smashing terrorist cells! Plus, traveling the entire length of the country on foot is surprisingly good exercise!"
With that, she pops the carrot slice into her mouth and starts chewing in an effort to not just break down into a case of the giggles.
A few muffled snickers manage to escape anyway.
no subject
"...No, seriously, though, you can read books anytime is what I say. But is that what things are like in your world? All the kids just run amuk with their monst -- Pokemon?"
no subject
"Nah. Most of the time? A Pokemon journey is just, y'know...something you do over summer vacation. I'm just one of the very few Trainers that's good enough to go pro, is all. Even then I'm gonna have to take some equivalency tests to get my diploma pretty soon."

"I dunno. Maybe the fact that I was working on the Pokedex counted as extra credit?"
no subject
Phantom Girl is a quick eater by necessity. She's about halfway done with her sandwich at this point.
"I mean, I'm pretty sure my mother would have thrown a fit, and I've got superpowers."
She still wasn't sure how she had coerced Winema into letting her join the Legion.
no subject
"Right before I left home, Mom gave me a new pair of shoes and told me to see the entire country, create a lot of lasting memories, and become a wonderful adult. Dad was on a business trip to Kanto - some sort of cross-training thing with Sylph Co., I think? And besides, I had this."
At the last sentence, Kotoha taps a large, chunky watch on her wrist that is definitely not the one issued to every resident of the city.

no subject
"You know, it's so useless as a watch I actually forgot it could tell time? It's actually a hi-def video phone and teleport relay system."
There's a slight pause as she considers.
"I've never used the function myself, but apparently it can also create chocolate out of thin air if you've got a second one nearby."
no subject
Phantom Girl is suddenly 1000% more interested in the watch. She sweeps aside her long black hair as she cranes her neck forward.
"You have personal teleportation devices, but you don't have long-distance interplanetary space travel? What kind of technology progression are you playing with here?"
no subject
"I dunno? I mean, I'm pretty sure it's just working out the principles behind regular old Psychic teleportation and applying them to a machine...and it's not like this works as a relay without the network backing it up."
no subject
Still, Phantom Girl's expression is dubious as she leans back in her chair.
"We have entire planets - well... more like space rocks - set up to handle transmatter gates. The technology requires an enormous amount of the United Planets's resources to maintain. Especially if you're gating to hostile or unsurviveable planets."
