2nd Pokeball - A Completely Ridiculous Inquiry

[unbroken_chain]

When the feed snaps on, it reveals Kotoha, sitting calmly in a chair. She fiddles with the bow at the back of her neck for a few seconds before launching into a spiel.

"Hi, my name's Kotoha, and I have a question."

There's slight hint of urgency in her voice, and her blue eyes are intense as she leans forward slightly to ask her question.

"Why is everyone so pretty?"

...wait what.

"Is it, like, a requirement? 'You must be this sexy to save the world'? I mean, I know I'm pretty, but I've met people here that rank right up there with Elesa, and she's a supermodel."

She leans back and drums her heels against the floor.

"It's not fair! How am I supposed to get anything done when I'm constantly distracted like this?!"

She bounces to her feet at that and starts pacing, letting out a little growl of frustration.

"Urrrrr! Stupid teenage hormones!"

...You're actually serious, aren't you.

"Oh hey Fumi."

Of course she's casual with you, you're friends!

"And why wouldn't I be serious?"

[shadowsher]

Is that really a problem?

[unbroken_chain]

"Yes!"

A pause.

"No!"

She fidgets a bit and runs her hands through her hair.

"I don't even know."

[shadowsher]

Well I can tell that much. [ He sighs. ]

It should be good, right? Since you're gonna get famous. Famous people all hang out with other famous people who are supposed to look good? [ This is apparently famous person training camp, is what he is saying ]

[terminally_clever]

I've never found it terribly hard to focus on my work here or anywhere else.

[darkens]

What?

[She legit has no idea what else to say. KOTOHA...]

[trollsdragons]

[There's a rather dashing fellow who crops up on the camera feed, looking quite amused and obviously stifling laughter.]

I don't know about this world, but were that the case, the world I hail from would have been doomed many times over!

Video

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha blinks.

"Well, yeah, but we've already established that you don't pay any attention to your own looks, so it's perfectly reasonable that you don't pay attention to other people, either."

A pause as she tilts her head to the side.

"Which, you know, is kind of a pity, because there are plenty of people that would fall all over themselves for a body like yours."

[unbroken_chain]

"But I'm already famous! And I don't hang out with famous people!"

A slight pause.

"...wait. December got that contract right after she met me, and then there's all those people at the PWT, and Cynthia..."

Her eyes widen.

"I actually do hang out with famous people that look good!"

She turns her attention back to the boy on the camera.

"What do I do? My immunity to famous, good-looking people is gone! I didn't even realize I had it until after it was gone!"

[unbroken_chain]

It was pretty straightforward, I thought!

*sigh*

It's kind of making me wish I was a little more selfish, really, because right now? Kinda sucks to have such a generous and loving heart.

[Video]

[unbroken_chain]

Oh man, LOOK at this guy. Kotoha is just going to...stare for a few seconds before replying.

"And yet, out of all those other people, you were the one brought here, right? Which is just proving my point! Apparently this world can only be saved by supermodels."

Video

[terminally_clever]

...Yes, I'm quite aware.

[She'd have to be an idiot not to have noticed that the boys were sneaking around during the JP's health exam. She just doesn't care.]

Video

[unbroken_chain]

Well it's nice to know that you're not completely unaware. Kotoha notices your expression and becomes a little curious.

"If being attractive is so annoying to you, why do you dress so sexy? Tight silk dresses that show off all your curves only encourage people to look, you know."

[video]

[electricyousei]

"Not everyone is. I'm fairly average looking."

[square_cubelaw]

No, you were in his head not that long ago. Don't be saying this sort of stuff, Robo doesn't want to be involved.

Which is totally why he responds.

"What? How is that a serious question?"

[video]

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha just sort of stops and stares.

"...if you're average, I want to see what you consider attractive."

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha shrugs helplessly. Sorry, brain buddy.

"I'm fifteen! I can't help it!"

[video]

[electricyousei]

"I'm an albino, that's more or less.... Odd than anything else."

[video]

[unbroken_chain]

More staring.

"You're, uh...you're saying that like it stops you from also being attractive. Which, take it from me? Not happening."

[video]

[electricyousei]

"Yurika and Minato were attractive. I'm just Ruri."

[video]

[unbroken_chain]

Wow, that's...that's really kind of sad.

Obviously the thing to do is convince her that she actually is attractive!

"No, seriously, you're really cute."

A pause to consider before she decides to go all-in.

"If you want, we could discuss this more over coffee sometime?"

[video]

[electricyousei]

She shrugs a bit.

"I don't mind having tea or something. I'm really just a computer officer though, cute or not."

[video]

[unbroken_chain]

This is a triumph! A huge success! Kotoha grins happily.

"Great! It's a date, then! Is Sunday good for you?"

[video]

[electricyousei]

"I don't have any plans for Sunday, no. This code will probably be here for quite some time."
