[he's been pretty busy as well, though not as busy this month as he was the last two. wrangling teammates and friends has become slightly easier when people aren't remembering their lives or suffering from serious emotional fallout]
[just wait until the end of the Aiada event]
[at any rate, he gives an affronted gasp at her question]
How couldn't you have heard of "pocket monsters?" It's only the most popular monster collecting franchise to ever exist. Ever.
[HE'S TEASING, he knows she couldn't have heard of them unless she was from his word, obviously,
[ It's not just about that. A pathological need for success, perhaps -- driven by the unfulfilled dreams of her childhood and pushing her to uncomfortable heights. ]

Do you know what a. . . vimon is?
Because when I hear that name all I can think about is some knock off pocket monster.
[someone's been scanning the task board]

[ Someone hasn't had time to even skim the task board yet, between working and the other full time job of wrangling her team and her housemates.
She sounds happy to hear from Akira, at any rate. ]
What's a pocket monster? That sounds like an oxymoron.

[ Despite that little fact, she responds to his feigned indignation with a lilt of amusement. There's no offense taken. ]
Where did you see vimon?
no subject
They aren't real. [he wonders] Have you heard of video games before?
[and, to answer her question]
On the Task Board. The hunting guild wants people to bring them back a few so they can. . . cook them, I guess.
no subject
[ It's a game that exists in the RWBYverse! Played on floating screens, apparently.
Let's assume there's no Pokemon equivalent in Remnant, though. ]
Sadly, I'm not allowwed to play anymore. Competition has a bit of an... effect on me.
[ They'll get back to the vimon conversation in a moment. ]
no subject
So in other words, you like to win?
[I MEAN. WHO DOESN'T]
that typo will haunt me forever...
[ It's not just about that. A pathological need for success, perhaps -- driven by the unfulfilled dreams of her childhood and pushing her to uncomfortable heights. ]
I tend to be a little... ruthless. That's all.
allowwed
Not a bad thing. How else are you supposed to win?
I'll allowwed you
So, what's going on with the vimon?
HEY WOW
Someone from the Hunting Guild wants vimon meat to introduce to the Verens markets.
[shrugs??]
I was thinking about accepting that task.
[the question is unsaid, but heavily implied: wanna come with?]
Yeah you heard me!
[ And, easily, she picks up on the unspoken! It's not exactly subtle, and she's happy to help when asked. ]
I'd be happy to go along.
[ Hunting guild tasks are good for sylvs, too. A single task pays about over a month's wage at her dayj ob. ]

[she knows him too well. it probably helps that they've done this before]
If you're not still recovering from your recent vacation, that is.
no subject
[ Maybe a little, although it's not like she's hurrying to elaborate. ]
I think I'm fully recovered. Just name the date, and I'll be there.
[ A pause, then - ] It'll be good to see you.
no subject
[she can't see, because this feed is voice only, but he rubs his nose a bit sheepishly at that]
It'll be good to see you, too. You'll have to tell me about your trip.
How does "within the next few days" sound, by the way?
[wibbly wobbly timey wimey!!]
no subject
[ You don't want to hear about her trip, Akira.
It's gross, and you don't need that level of grossness in your life. ]
See you soon! [ Unless he has anything else to add, she'll end the conversation here. Before I die of shame at how slow I've been this whole thread. ]
no subject
Same to you too, Pyrrha.
[and he'll let her go! while Styx pats Jes's shoulder and assures her a slow pace is just fine]
