farawayplace | Happy birthday, Mayday 🎉

[I. Pippi post #1 (August 14th)]
MAYDAY (UN: proper-rocket) posted:
I think I’ve heard people who leave here and come back say it’s like no time passed at all back home.

So is there any point to tracking time here?
Does it matter?

Sorry for the lowkey existential crisis.
Just got a lot on my mind.

[August 14th. So it’s come again. Mayday sits outside in Turnbloom City, staring at the sky. She kind of already regrets posting that message but oh well. She’s not doing anything in particular, just loitering in her Rocket uniform as per usual. I figured I’d include this in case you wanted to accost her in person, lol.]

Come by Grand Theater Hall in one hour if you want to watch an ass kicking

[There's a selfie attached, a young woman in a casual, punk-ish outfit with pinkish red hair sticking out her tongue and posing with an altogether unfamiliar looking Pokémon in front of Grand Theater Hall in Turnbloom. She’s holding up an entry slip for a Normal Rank contest.]

It's convenient from a personal standpoint to see how long things have been from your own perspective, but when it comes to interdimensional time passage and the differences between planes, it can be a little confusing. If it's been ten years for you but no time outside but also a lot of time because you're tracking something that moves back and forth sometimes hundreds of years, and then other dimensions start to add themselves to the list, at some point you just stop counting, at least if you no longer age.

[It takes Trip a while to reply! He's very smart and he can read very well, although "existential" is a new one... but writing is still a little challenging.]

We are still alive though. Ultern is a world too even if its a diffrent world and not the same one we were born in. Time is important! Ex: birthdays.

["Rocket" makes her wary, but... it shouldn't be too scary if it's just in text, right? It's not like anyone can trace her location just from this... hers is a very common name, too!]

Ai (windsong)
Do you think living is less important if it happens out of time or if it affects nothing else? An experience is precious, even if only you remember it, isn't it?

[Heeeey, there's his buddy!
Looking awfully distracted...

He'll take off his straw hat (it's still a great choice for sunny days and great to hide his face where he might be recognized!) and whistle! Think fast, Mayday, because it's flying towards you!]

[James would wince at the language, but! Become absolutely overjoyed at the "rocket" in that username!!! Oh, he'd absolutely have to ask...! The pinkish-red hair also has him hopeful... no, it's not the exact same shade as Jessie's and he did hear of another red-headed Rocket, oh, but he wouldn't want to expose her if she's trying to be low-key...

He'll have to direct message her if she allows it!

But also...]

Who's that Pokemon?! Are you perhaps a Pokemon Coordinator?

[Is that Pokemon rare and valuable?! He might find Jessie if there's Pokemon Contests here, but also, is that valuable?!]

[Evie the Eevee comes walking along and tilts her head curiously.]

Are you lonely? You look lonely.
