[Today in Goldenrod, Minnie is cheerfully walking through the city as her Glameow, Blair, walks by her side. She turns on the Pokegear, video, no longer dressed in anything too fancy, just a simply dress and a simple smile.]

Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing well! Thank you to everyone who attended our knighting ceremony, I couldn't have asked it to go better! But all good things must come to an end, so I'll probably be returning to my home in Olivine when September ends. Danny, I hope you've been taking good care of the house?

Oh, how time does fly... I bet it'll be Halloween before you know it, and then Christmas, and then New Years... There are so many delightful holidays coming up. But I thought of adding one more to the mix, thanks to a dear friend. Since the knighting ceremony went so well... one day, in the months ahead, maybe we should have a princess day!

Wouldn't it be marvelous~! All us girls could wear beautiful dresses, and I could teach them all the fine points of being a princess! Proper dancing, etiquette, and then we can all trade stories about love and romance!

[She's getting a little too into it now, grabbing her skirt and twirling around - while Blair frantically meows and tries to avoid being stepped on.]

And then we can all hear about the famous princesses in fairy tales, like Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty...

((OOC: just so her friends in goldenrod and olivine know, she'll stay in goldenrod until the 30th, and should be back in Olivine by Oct 7th, unless someone wants her later/sooner/whatevs. ~~this is more for keeping track and making sure i don't forget orz~~))

[Gorthan sits after she does.]

I was merely considering... During my time here, I have become acquainted with many newcomers to this world, like us. But I have also experienced sudden departures, and losses... and I cannot help but wonder how much time we have left to spend here. Who knows... even today could be our last day with our Pokémon. And while most people - including yourself, I would assume - would be happy, some even overjoyed, to return to their homes, I...

[A long pause. At some point, as he spoke, his gaze has drifted to the nearest window, and it doesn't take a particularly perceptive person to know that Evron is on his mind.]

... I find I cannot say the same.

[Knowing what she does about him, she can't say she's particularly surprised. But, as with almost all problems she is given, she comes at this with a smile and the brightest optimism.]

You're not alone. There are many here who don't want to go back to their homes... and I know I would miss this place, and all the friends I've made. But... I also refuse to think that's the end of it. There is a way to bring us here and back... someone just needs to find out how it happens, and then we can control it! I know someday we'll be able to freely go back and forth whenever we want. We just need to be patient, and have someone smart enough to figure it out.

[Sure, it's vague as hell, but she's terribly confident in this belief, judging by her vigorous nodding.]

[At Minnie's suggestion, Gorthan blinks a bit, genuinely hopeful.]

Do you... do you really think it can be done? Dimensional traveling honestly isn't my forte, but perhaps...

[However, that first reaction only lasts a moment. Quickly returning to the harsh reality, Gorthan shakes his head.]

Or not. My point is this, Minnie... I will not hide that, since coming to this world, all I have done was poison it with evil and destruction. Even so, I...

[His fingers move nervously on the tablecloth, tracing the embroidered patterns.]

... I love it. I love it down to its every atom. And there is nowhere else I would rather be. Not even my own home, Minnie...

[No avoiding the guilt, it seems. She sighs a little, knowing she can't exactly tell him he's wrong, but...]

The fact that you know you've done wrong says so much about you. But it's not about who deserves to be here or not. If you love it, then surely a way will be found to make you stay. I have faith someone will find a way... and I have faith in your future.

[She smiles again, placing her hands on the table, trying to get him to look at her.]

You may not believe me when I say it, but you're a good man, Gorthan. Not perfect... but good.

Yeah, might as well hit level 100 with my team and then just sweep the rest of the gyms if I feel like it.

Is there any sort of age limit..?

Of course not! Every girl is a princess, no matter her age.

[Lightning opens her mouth to say something, and Minnie can undoubtedly hear the inhale, but whatever she was going to say doesn't come. This is turning into a circular argument and she knows it.]

You're not going to back down about this, are you?

I like the beach. Olivine and Cianwood are pretty cool.

D'you have a house in Olivine?

Minnie... When I am gone from here, others will come. And some of them, I hope not too many, will find themselves living with the same conflict in their hearts as I do.

Should you ever become acquainted with such a person, no matter how unpleasant and difficult they may be, I hope you will find it in you to give them the same friendship, strength and happiness that you have always given me.

That is... what I wanted to say to you, Minnie.

[He closes his eyes and remains in silence, awaiting her reply.]

... that sounds like it would be a very specific holiday aimed at a very specific group, Minnie-san.

A princess day sounds like fun!

Absolutely not.

[She says with a delightful chirp.]

That's right. it's an inn, of sorts, so anyone can come stay there for free.

[He's only asking her to do what she would do normally anyway. She reaches over, placing her hands on top of his, hoping to calm him and assure him.]

Of course I will. You have my word. I will always have my heart and my arms open to anyone who needs friendship and kindness.

No one has to be left out! If the boys want in, they can be princes!

Thank you! Every girl deserves to feel like the princess they are.

Those kind of stories aren't really popular with boys though... At least not to my knowledge. Still, better than saying they would have be princesses...

Hm... maybe they could be knights, too! Do boys like to be knights instead?

That's more in line with what most boys think, sure! At least the ones who actually have chivalry and all that. I'm sure most just like the idea of waving a sword around.

I admit, I have a biased love for knights... I bet you'd be a great knight, Hayate!

I don't see anything wrong with that plan.

... Oh, I see, I see, hee.

Ahaha... While I'm flattered, I don't think I'm suited for that kind of lifestyle. I prefer my duties as a butler over living a life of battle.

Besides, my princess is in another castle, so I couldn't be one even if I wanted to.

[a small chuckle.] I shouldn't be surprised. You never were the type to back down.

[And Minnie had said they could both be stubborn when they thought they were right, so this really isn't a shock. It's actually nice to know some things don't change. In Lightning's mind, anyway. She can appreciate stability. ..even if it drives her nuts from certain people.]
