[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!

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.

[Yeah, maybe just... talking will be better.
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.]

Perhaps I will look into it.
[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.

Not in my land. [Nice and simple, not gonna mention Ivalice. Maybe he does come from a cave, Leon! What then?!]
But, we don't need to speak of it, if 'tis something you lost passion for.
Did the road treat you well?

'Tis how everybody in Ivalice speaks - your speech is rather strange, to my ears.
[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 . . . . . ]
