With your course of study officially completed, for better or worse, there isn't much left for you in the courtroom itself; the elevator will take you back down to the first floor, where you'll be left off – it won't take you any lower than that. But then again, perhaps it doesn't need to. Take some time to reorient yourself, to be grateful that you didn't die, to do whatever it is you need to do – however, if you return to the main part of the building, away from the dorms... Well. There's something waiting for you in the foyer.

...Sounds fine to me. As long as they won't try to mess everything up.

[That said, he pulls off Gold's hat and goggles; it's about time he gives them back to who they belong to.]

Here. I've got your cuestick, too.

[uncouthhatcher]

[Well, he'll take 'em, sure. The hat feels weird on his head, having been without it for so long, and he keeps the goggles slung around his neck for now, just easier that way. Hand out for the cuestick too.]

Thanks. And... don't worry, they won't. Hilda here might not even stay very long; she's got a job she's gotta get back to, but I'm plannin' on keepin' her as long as I can manage. And if Chi accepts my offer -- I'm pushin' her to go to Viktor's world, honestly -- then she won't be any trouble either, and I've told Alani she can bring Vanille on dates there, the same to Killia and Mikazauki...

[... HE HAS OFFERED JOHTO TO A LOT OF PEOPLE.]

[feistytrader]

...Is there anyone you didn't invite to come to Johto?

[He passes him his cuestick.]

[uncouthhatcher]

Kira. But I figure if he's gonna hang with Kimbley and Jasper, we might be gettin' visits from 'em every now and then since Kimbley wants to see Chiyuki as he pleases.

[... so, um. not really. the invitation is open to everyone.]

Oh, and Smitty! I mean, the punchable face. That guy. He ain't invited, unless you wanna invite him.

[feistytrader]

He's only allowed if Hanyuu brings him.

[So... Everyone.]

[uncouthhatcher]

Then there's no one on the blacklist! Man, Johto's gonna see some weird-ass people, huh. We'll have to show 'em all the sights... but maybe you and me can check 'em out together first?

[... is he. flirting with silver? oh god, he's fucking giving it a try, an honest college try, it's weird but hang on.]

[feistytrader]

I thought we were taking Crys on an Alolan vacation.

[Which he very much still wants to do.]

[uncouthhatcher]

[CHIYUKI

CHIYUKI DO YOU SEE THIS

CAN YOU SEE THIS

THIS IS ALSO WHAT HE MEANS.]

Yeah, don't worry, we're doin' that after marathonin' your dumb show.

[stepout]

[ ...YEAH, SHE CAN SEE THIS.

SHE GETS IT.

GODSPEED, GOLD. ]

[uncouthhatcher]

[YEAH. THANKS.





MAYBE HE HAS A TYPE? DO YOU THINK SO.]

[stepout]

[ YOU HAVE VERY SPECIFIC DATING CRITERIA

SO:

PROBABLY? ]

[uncouthhatcher]

[..... YEAH. YEAH HE DOES. DAMMIT.]

[feistytrader]

[...Gold didn't like that, Gold didn't like that for some reason, uh-]

...What, do you want it to be just us?

[uncouthhatcher]

No! No, Crys can come on our vacation. And we can watch your show all together too, if you want. I was just thinkin' that I could show off Johto to you first, since you're totally uncultured when it comes to the fun stuff and you'd be a poor host when other people visit.

[feistytrader]

...What else is there to show them other than Goldenrod and Ecruteak? Olivine, maybe? The farms?

[uncouthhatcher]

[oh my god]

There's an entire forest near Ecruteak that's like, eternal fall! There's the Kimono Girls! We can show off our super cool rail system that goes to Kanto, and Violet City's got that amusement park nearby it too! There's plenty of awesome things about Johto!
