[It's a nice day, isn't it? The kind of day to just sit outside and enjoy it, crazy as that seems. Yet Silver's sitting on the steps of the library, reading a Jack London book, Quilava chilling beside him.

It's still weird, spending days not training or trying to be stronger than everyone. So far taking Sundays off seems to be working, letting his team rest but not letting them get lazy...maybe Saturdays, too?

Yeah, maybe. He'd have to see about that.]

Really? I always thought random meant whatever happens happens and things fall where they will...but hm, I guess that's something to think about?

Think about just flipping a coin. It's pretty random, but with two choices, it should fall on heads about half the time. Right? So it's not too weird if it falls a bit more or a bit less; but if it fell on heads nine times out of ten, you'd start wondering what was pulling the string.

Hm...that makes sense, I guess. I've had Pokemon battles that went like that.

So if this place has everywhere, from every world, to bring us from, isn't it a bit weird so many are from Japan?

If it's on purpose, I wonder why...

Maybe it has something to do with all these supposed gods and magic. A lot of people still practice Shinto in Japan.

Huh, maybe...

Maybe they're hoping if they take enough people from there, they'll get more wizards and gods.

[bitterly] Yeah, as if all their stupid technology and kidnapping and messing around with the world in general wasn't enough power for them.

If you're trying to figure out what they're up to, the question isn't really whether it's enough. It's whether they think it's enough.

Selfish jerks. [They're starting to remind him of a certain organization back home. A certain weak, stupid, selfish organization run by a certain coward.]

I'm not arguing. And they're not confined to just here. [No, really, her school administration back home hadn't been much better.]

I know. I just...get pissed off really easily about people like that. [If Silver weren't so hellbent on closing off about this certain organization you could swap stories.]

Yeah. They irritate me too. I've had to call in reinforcements before when I'm dealing with Ms. Lee.

What's got you so upset over it?

Really? What, you try to attack her or something?

[oh Arceus dammit]

...let's just say I've known people like that. And they suck. Big time.

Not exactly attack. More of a legal battle. About artistic integrity.

[Because that clears things up, really.]

Artistic integrity? [eyebrow raise]

We made a statement the school didn't like. So they took our project and altered it to enter it in some event without our permission.

This is probably a good time to mention my mom is a lawyer. I think she had fun reminding them this wasn't a smart idea.

Wow, your school sounds like a bunch of jerks. [madface] So your mom kicked their butts when they wouldn't listen to you?

In a manner of speaking. She made sure the phrase 'big fat lawsuit' will be on all the vocabulary tests at Lawndale from now on.

Hahaha! Nice. [Oh, to be a Venonat on THAT wall!]

Yeah. Every now and then, if someone surprises you, it's in a good way.

I'm learning that more and more these days. [laugh]

I blame the insidious influence of being trapped together like castaways.

[Because clearly people learning to coexist more or less peacefully is a bad thing.]

Someday we'll crack the mystery of these people. Right?
