[The feed switches on to Leon propping his elbows on the counter, idly bouncing a baseball in his hand. He may be dressed for work at the Pokemart, but he...doesn't really look like he's working.
Thankfully for him, his boss is away on an errand so there's no one to yell at him to pick up his slack. It's a quiet day at the Pokemart anyway, so he can afford some time to goof off. Usually this would involve naps, but today he's got a question to pose for the network viewers. ]
So, I've been thinking lately. About dreams. I know what I gotta do to stay here, but...I don't have a dream. Something that keeps me pumped up and excited, you know? Is the Pokemon trainer thing the only dream we can have here? 'Cause I dunno, it still feels kinda off somehow. I can do it if it means I get to stay here, but it's not really my thing.
[A sign punctuates his words.]
It really sucks when you realise that a dream you wanted, might not be such a good dream after all. And I've been thinking for the past two days, and I still can't figure out what it is that I want! It's so annoying!!
[Leon stops bouncing the ball and picks up the Gear, grinning at the audience.]
So, that's where you guys come in! Tell me about your dreams. Something that you wanted to do, either here or back home. Doesn't matter how crazy it is, but just tell me about it because hell, maybe it's a dream worth working towards. Maybe you guys can give me an idea on what kinda dream I can chase after now. There's just one condition: your dream has to be cool. There's no point in having a dream that doesn't fit your standards, right? So my standard is simple: it just has to be a freaking awesome dream!! So gimme your best ones!
Action: Violet City
[Lo and behold, an amazing sight for all to see. The SHSL Slacker is actually working? If by working, you mean he's sloppily arranging stuff on the shelves, or napping over the counters, or even splashing water on the front and calling that a clean job. Did he accidentally splash water over you when he did that? Or did a whole bunch of cartons fall on you because he didn't stack them up properly? Or maybe you're impatiently waiting for this teen punk to get with his job and check out your items. The choices are yours!

you weren't ripped apart by your own arrogance and monsters
...good for you. But, his dream? It's... not something he'd tell a stranger. Perhaps he'll just mention plans for the near future. It'd be rude to just turn on the camera without talking.]
Being a trainer - 'tis just another path in life. Not much of a dream.
[A pause. Guess who's looking at your baseball (which he doesn't know the name of whoops) ramza plz. HE IS CURIOUS.]
Was that your former dream?
Video
Hmm? Oh, this thing.
[Leon takes a look at the ball, shrugs, and throws it over his shoulder.]
Baseball's a crap game. It ain't worth anyone's time.
[Never mind that he didn't have to look to somehow throw that ball straight back into the open mouth of his backpack.]
So what's your dream? Heh, bet it's something like being an actor! You do the whole medieval thing pretty well.
Video
This is how I normally speak. Is it odd?
[it's not odd, it's a translation choice :p]
B-but, my dream - 'tis one I cannot achieve here. [To be honest, Ramza just isn't gonna tell you. He's just too polite, though.] I asked you yours, however. Or do you not have one?
no subject
I had a dream, but something happened and now I don't want it anymore. That's why I'm asking through the network about it.
And anyway, you should be the one telling me about your dream! 'Cause I asked first. Otherwise, what's the point of answering the vid?
no subject
I know 'tis not the 16th century. [Yeah, dude, it's like... the late 90s, by Ramzas calender! A shake of his head - perhaps he'll ask, the next time he posts. He has noticed a different style of speech.
this is going to be the oddest post tomorrow i swear]Something happened to mine, as well - only a little before I awoke here. [not gonna say what!!! (he does not like talking about it)] I've been searching for new passion - a new dream, as you'd say.
no subject
[Leon sighs and slumps back over the counter.]
I guess we could just talk about stuff then. Maybe that'll help somehow.
What kinda stuff do you like to do? Acting? 'Cause you talk funny. Maybe you acted too much till you couldn't stop talking like that.
no subject
A shake of the head. What does he enjoy? Well, he...]
I've always enjoyed studying. [Yeah, I am sorry Leon.] Though, without the ability to try out those abilities, it would not be as fun. For now, example, I've been teaching my Pokemon how to throw stones - as I would have thrown many objects, in my home land.
[He is still linefacing, by the by. Ramza is still trying to overachieve. He needs somebody to pull him into having fun.]
I've not acted, however. Do I sound like an actor? [Said in curiousity, really.
That's the word he used, correct? Ramza has picked up - an actor would be like the sort of person who'd appear in a play, or the sort. Just from the terms - he sounds like he's from another century, and the such.]
no subject
...so you like throwing stuff? Huh. I used to do something like that back home. It was kinda lame though; I was good at it, but I also hated it. So it was a pointless thing to be good at in the first place.
no subject
[ramza bby you would make a cute actor.]
But, yes. I could call it a hobby, of sorts - is that what baseball was? [You can think of him as a dumb, how does he not know-- wait, he's not done, he's got his serious lineface.] I think I understand - if there is no passion, then there's not reason to continue on that path. Am I correct? And this land - Johto - can give us both new paths.
no subject
But yeah, that's right. You should do something that you can put your heart into!
no subject
But, we don't need to speak of it, if 'tis something you lost passion for.
Did the road treat you well?

[Yeah, he's considering hanging up again - but, for now, he'll just... try and stay on the line. It takes all kinds.]
And, no. I was rather respected, at the Akademy. [what is a butt monkey . . . . . ]
