“ alright. suppose an apology is due. maybe, it was a little harsh to immediately assume you were hostile or malicious, so that's on me. but so far we've met someone who seems to hold very little self preservation, and then his polar opposite who seems to...be interesting enough. i didn't know what to expect from you, honestly. assuming the worst was evidently not the best course of action, though.”

“It’s… It’s understandable. I can’t say it’s okay, but I get it. It’s a dangerous world out here, sometimes… Especially exploring it all on your own. It’s fair to approach weird people with some wariness.

"Hah, you really are sweet when you want to be. I accept your apology- thank you.”

“… And, uh, like I said- you being anomalous is theorywork. I made some hasty assumptions about you, too… What I gather is just equivalent to… Weird vibes??”

“There’s something about you that’s just inherently hard to place. A kind of… Haziness, that makes everything about you unclear. It’s like your entire existence is fogged over, even though it should be easy to tell. Even having seen tangible records, it’s like… Even now, three different names are fighting for a place in my mind when I try to recall it.”

“Kind of unnerving, but it hasn’t caused problems- yet. And if it’s just a feeling, that shouldn’t change. But it’s an easy to miss thing that I have to pay close attention to for these studies.”

“… In the end, in spite of my misgivings, it isn’t fair for me to tell you what to do. You’re a lot stronger than I am. It’s your choice to pursue this- but I do hope I can be someone you can turn to at any point. Help, advice, guidance, and especially protection… Just say the word. I’ll be there.”

“… Oh! Yes, I do! Though, I don’t know if you’d ever get to hear from him…”

“My brother, Red… He’s a notorious recluse. After the Kanto Championship, he ran off to Gods-know-where. I know he’s not dead, if it’s any consolation. He only shows up for really important Kanto-Champion stuff. I assume it’s just to defend his title or something.”

“Hell if I know, though. You can never really tell what’s going on behind those eyes.”

<a href="https://sparklingdemon.tumblr.com/" style="text-decoration:underline;">sparklingdemon</a>: <p>Leaf, I'm not saying this out of hostility - I really do want to take your concerns seriously, but it's hard to do when you're purposefully being vague. We want to understand what's really going on so we can help in the best way we can.</p><p>That being said, and I'm really sorry to address the Donphan you left in the room, but isn't it a bit hypocritical of you to stop us from working with the Professor? You've been working with them as well, despite your own&hellip; "anomalous properties." (And we both know what I mean by that.)</p><p>So what makes us any different, or any more dangerous, than you?</p>

“….. Let me say one thing, first. I can guarantee you. I am NOT dangerous. Don’t make that assumption of me.”

“Just because I don’t want to cough up my entire life story to someone I JUST met, that doesn’t make me a threat. And I can’t fathom why that would make me less trustworthy, but…”

She sighs heavily.

“I… Know there’s some things you already know. That you’ve already seen. That I haven’t explained, and don’t really want to. That job of yours- Gods, how do I…?”

“There’s things you’ve- you’ll see, that… Don’t have your best interest in mind. I care a lot about Ace, but they’re meddling in really dangerous territory, and now you’re fully roped into it, too.”

“That ‘Donphan in the room’ in question? I don’t necessarily help them out of passion for the field- I do it because I owe them, and more importantly, because I don’t want them to get hurt. I have means of gathering the information they seek in safer ways than anything they could do. And, in the same way I’m worried for you- I don’t want them to see or be decived by something that would hurt them.”

“… Even though my means are… Less than normal, I’d… I’d rather skew a result a bit, if it meant potentially saving their life as they know it.”

“Again, I’m really sorry for being dishonest. I just thought… I didn’t want to make you distrust me. Though clearly, that really backfired on me. I’m just scared that you’ve already seen things out there that- that might make you…..”

“… More than anything, I really just want to be your friend. I hope you can believe me there.”

Hey Leaf, do you know whats going on with the picture and note at Blaines?

“Blaine? Note?? Who-”

“…”

“… I have literally no idea what you’re talking about.”

“ there isn't much else we can ask outside of work. i hardly know you. maybe you'll forgive my hostility, but technically there's no solid proof that you won't try to do something malicious. you've done a background check, so what exactly might skew your results? don't we have the right to know?”

[This post contains a flashing/glitching image.]

“I- Excuse me?!”

The woman visibly tenses at that, her eyes flaring.

“Is this how you treat ANY new person you meet!? ’Try to do something malicious–Do you REALLY think I’d–

“…”

She catches herself, cutting her flash of anger short and making an effort to quickly recompose herself.

“… Sorry- I’m sorry. You’re right, you don’t know me… At all, really. The skepticism is fair.”

“What I was worried about is just- uh, strong evidence- from my own understanding- that you have some anomalous properties of your own that could… Impact, things. It’s nonsense theorywork, though, I- I don’t think it’s even correct. Probably. Maybe. I-”

“… Please forgive me.”

<a href="https://possiblyfunny.tumblr.com/" style="text-decoration:underline;">possiblyfunny</a>: <p>Hey, Leaf? I hope you don&rsquo;t mind me, uh&hellip; running something past you right quick.</p><p>A little bit ago, I was told by&hellip; <i>a friend&hellip;</i> that I should find you. That I <i>needed</i> to find you.</p><p>Well, I didn&rsquo;t really &ldquo;find&rdquo; you, but you are here now&hellip; so I figured I&rsquo;d ask. Would you have any idea what that was about? Because it felt&hellip; <i>really</i> important.</p>

“Someone told you to find me? Huh…”

“I mean, I certainly couldn’t speak for him, but…”

“Maybe he just wanted to make sure I wasn’t being forgotten about. I don’t have a lot of friends, and I struggle to make new ones.”

<a href="https://sparklingdemon.tumblr.com/" style="text-decoration:underline;">sparklingdemon</a>: <p>&hellip;Hi, Leaf. It&rsquo;s nice to see you. You said you&rsquo;d like to get to know us? But how much do you&hellip; already know?</p><p>You told the Professor that we weren&rsquo;t the best person for this job, and I get the feeling that accusation didn&rsquo;t come out of nowhere.</p><p>Do you just think we&rsquo;re too nosy for our own good? Or&hellip;?</p>

Her expression drops. Her eyes dart around, and she’s quiet for a long moment, as if trying to think of how to reply.

“I….”

She clears her throat.

“I’m familiar with you, in- in a sense… I took it on myself to do a background check. You’re the only person who actually took the job, so Ace didn’t think to, they were so excited.”

“Nosiness is exactly what they want, so that’s… That’s not the problem. The issue is just…”

She trails off again.

“There’s things about you that may skew their results, is all.”

“But, you’ve been fine. You shouldn’t worry about that. I thought we were trying to avoid talking about work.”

<a href="https://possiblyfunny.tumblr.com/" style="text-decoration:underline;">possiblyfunny</a>: <p>Heck yeah. I&rsquo;m down to chat for awhile and break the ice. Gives my eyes a chance to stop burning after squinting for so long.</p><p>So&hellip; How long have you been working with the Professor for? And, uh&hellip; <i>what&rsquo;s another question I can ask&hellip;?</i> Oh-! Do you have any hobbies?</p>

“Yeah, that’s the spirit! It can be a real headache to squint at a computer too long.”

“I’ve been working with Ace, for… Gods, a bit now. They- We met when I was… 18? So it’s been around three years. Crazy how time flies…”

“As for hobbies, well- I, uh… Don’t actually get a lot of free time– but, I really love Pokemon battling! And I really enjoy reading- especially on theology and mythology. Fascinating stuff, y'know?”

<a href="https://possiblyfunny.tumblr.com/" style="text-decoration:underline;">possiblyfunny</a>: <p>Well, hi, Leaf! You have a very pretty smile.</p><p>It&rsquo;s nice to finally meet you, too. I&rsquo;ve heard a lot about you&mdash;all good things, of course. The Professor has told me that you&rsquo;re very busy usually, so I&rsquo;m glad we got the opportunity to talk.</p>

“Aw, you’re too sweet. I’m happy to take a break and chat a bit. It’s always important to meet new people and get new perspectives, right?”

“My other job keeps me awfully busy, they’re right about that- otherwise I’d have been there myself to greet you first!”

an ask from anonymous:
Oh... yeah, you are okay, Leaf. Sorry, I think a couple hours spent looking at these static-y cameras was starting to play tricks on my brain. Hopefully calling you should be a nice break from squinting at blurry pixels, anyways. It's nice to meet you too!ALT

“Ah, the cameras… I take it you’ve been working hard at those, huh?”

“But, it’s a lot to take in all at once. It’d be good to take a break.”

“Please, feel free to take your mind off of all that anomaly stuff for a while, okay? I’d love to just talk and get to know you.”

Uh?! Leaf?! Are you okay?!

The Rotom Phone’s camera switches on, and you can see the blurry motion of it flying back, showing you her face.

“Hey, don’t worry- I’m fine, see? Who would’ve told you otherwise…?”

an ask from possiblyfunny:
Hi. Leaf...? This is... This is the Professor's other assistant. 
Sorry if now is a bad time. You kinda sound like you just woke up, but I saw your texts. You...wanted to meet?ALT

“… Oh. Ohhh! Okay- I was wondering when I’d finally get to hear from you.”

A warm smile spreads across her face, and she waves at the camera.

“Don’t worry. I was just resting in my hometown while I waited for you. At the very least, it sounds like I don’t need to worry about introducing myself, heh! It’s nice to finally hear from you.”
