Oooooooo!!! Goldenrod is so grand, big, and intimidating! I never thought that such a city would differ so much from the previous two cities!

[Someone certainly is excited today.]

Ohhhhh! Is that the radio tower up there, peaking over the horizon, silhouetted by the mountains behind it! What a beautiful sight! I hope they let people who appreciate radio as a pure art form in to explore a bit. If they don't, that's criminal, but such a liberal and free universe surely they won't protest.

[He pauses, turning to the camera to grant his viewers with a smile.] Now to business and some rest at the pokemon center, before the severe training begins at sunset. These pokemon are proving to have great potential!

[PRIVATE Video to Killua]
Killua as promised I have arrived at Goldenrod! I'm certain you are as excited as I am to start this little partnership we have created. I'll be at the pokemon center if you wish to meet up. I would love to see the shop with you in tow.

[PRIVATE to Lauren]
It's nice to see I am still one step ahead of you Lauren. I do hope you are at least close by. I even managed to slow down, train a bit and drag my feet in the dirt to hinder my progress getting to Goldenrod. All was done with you in my thoughts! I can't leave my fellow employee behind, but even I can't work miracles!

Update on your status: Do you have Carlos? Have you accomplished any other...productive advances?

Update on me: I am soon to become a manager at a small sweet shop. Already a step ahead on the Strex determined path. I do hope you are satisfied. I also have located dear Cecil, I feel he is here in Goldenrod, but that's not certain.

[PRIVATE to Cecil]

Ceeeecilll! I've reached the golden city with it's shining red light blinking above the skyline. I do hope I have not missed you and you are still here. I recently got a new pokemon, a Litwick, properly named Cecil! I was hoping to show him to you and snacks! I brought snacks for us to enjoy while we catch up.

[Look at the smile Cecil, how can you be afraid of him. He's so polite!]

My PERFECT Cecil also wishes to meet it's alternative, less constructive, other. This visit will be so fun!! Don't you think?

...No. Coworkers yes. I had coworkers and my boss and I talked a lot.

[He stops.]

I hate her. She is...not pleasant and this universe...was enjoyable when she wasn't here.

Other then her I had my town and the people. Strex is a friend, Strex is always there!

[Did that answer your question?]

[And he just...listens to that, and if he's off-put by any of it, it isn't obvious in his reaction; he's always been very hands-off when it comes to emotional topics, and it seems this isn't going to be much different, really.

But he does take it in, and while he isn't exactly empathetic he doesn't seem annoyed, either.]

I never really got along with people back home, myself. At one point I had a group of people that I would meet with on Sundays; we shared a common interest, but that was about the extent of any fond thoughts I held toward them, and I don't see them anymore. Recently all of my time has been spent around a group of people that tolerate me at best and hate me at worst; they "like" me because I'm useful, and they've made it very clear what will happen to me the second I stop.

So the idea of not having friends, of spending time around those that can't be considered anything of the sort...it's familiar to me.

[He laughs a bit; the sound is a bit odd.]

Don't let me depress you, though - and I believe I've met this woman you've mentioned. Miss Lauren Mallard, isn't it? She's...interesting.

I was sure to tell her that you've told me all about the merits of embracing Strex, and that you've done a good amount to enlighten me about the glory of your Smiling God. Given what you've told me about how much you value productivity, I imagined it would be good for her to hear something like that, so at the very least she couldn't accuse you of not doing your job.

[He listens to his words and finds himself making connections to his own situation. However he does not mention this. People all have different situations and even if they are the most fotunate or unfortunate...he doesn't care. He only wishes to make people happy through Strex.]

Perhaps if you were to find a smiling god, hear Strex's voice as I do then maybe you will no longer need to worry about such hardships. I barely remember my time before Strex, but I know there was a time and I resisted the approach of the blinding light. Eventually I to welcomed Strex and a smile came to my face and my worries were dashed to the shadows.

[He beams.]

I suppose I should thank you for informing Lauren of my actions, but I do not spread the word of Strex for Laurens benefit. It is a desire to bring productive smiles to all faces, because when one is smiling they are happy.

Thank you. It will surely, if anything, shut her up.

Oh, don't worry - that's exactly why I told her all that.

[She...seemed like the overbearing sort, and one who could certainly benefit from taking a seat. Perhaps several seats. So! No worries.

The café they come to is small and low-lit and perhaps most importantly it's warm; Tsukiyama is going to be getting so much more coffee by the end of this and he knows it, but for the time being he tips his head a bit, indicating a table toward the back corner of the establishment. Let's sit, yes?]

Ah, there's not much by way of actual food, unfortunately, but I'm told the cake here is excellent; I've never really been one for sweet things, personally, but you can get whatever you like. As I've said, I'll cover.

[He looks over at the case of sweets and quickly browses the list of drinks.]

I would love an expresso with a side of creme and a slice of cake....carrot! If that is alright by you.

I did say "whatever you like"; I think that qualifies.

[So it's just a matter of placing and obtaining the order, then - something that's done easily enough. This place isn't run quite like Anteiku, which is a bit of a shame; it's not quite that shop that Takatsuki Sen favored, either. But it's nice, and Naki has told him that the cake is lovely, and that table at the corner is decent and secluded enough once all that has been taken care of.

He's drinking yuanyang again today; he still isn't sure how he feels about it, but it's one of those things where now that he's started drinking them he's not certain he'll be able to stop with it...]

I'm actually curious about this Smiling God of yours, you know - what exactly it...does, for lack of a better question.

[Kevin can only grin at the question. Never would he pass up a chance to talk about Strex.]

I'm not sure what else I can say about Strex that I hasn't already been said. They grant our needs, established pony petting stations, inspired forced productivity among all out citizens and changed our small defenseless town of Desert Bluffs for the better! I'm not sure how else I can put it....unless you would be willing to join our Smiling God and succumb to all that is and ever will be, Strex.

[...Hm.]

I'm not promising one way or another, amore, because for the time being it is merely curiosity.

Would you be horribly offended if I chose not to?

[He only smiles, yet it's deeper and much more twisted.]

I would, if it weren't for the fact that you have no choice. Strex has the potential to always be here and soon, at an unattainable speed it will encroach to every corner of this region, and no one will be able to resist.
