[Robin is sitting at her desk with a curious dog in her lap. Yes, that is a mustache. She looks neutral though the dog looks faintly worried--or perhaps constipated--it's difficult to tell]

For those who don't know, Marco has been kidnapped. Let's hope he comes back as something bearable, ne? But I would prepare for the worst. The Malnosso have been too kind lately. [She pets the dog's head lightly as if this doesn't bother her overly much]

A lesson to all you new feathers, the Malnosso will come for you one day without fail. There is no fighting them yet, though of course you should try. Don't allow yourself to be taken easily. However, when that time comes, you will be taken in--experimented on, tortured perhaps--you may remember it, you may not. You may be changed, you may not. Either way, your existence will be altered.

Though, on the bright side, the effects are usually temporary. After all, there's no point in permanently incapacitating a test subject when they are needed for further use.

[Locked to Norma]

I don't know if I will see you before Marco returns, but he wanted to let you know he loves you. Take care, ne? And if you need anything don't hesitate to call me.

[and with that she closes the journal]

I'm not at all surprised, as I find both animal and Pokemon to be more similar than they seem. Both parties you can train and form a bond so strong that they become your best friend and ally. They both require proper care from their trainers or owners and they can defend themselves if necessary, with or without our aid. And those who are considered wild act exactly like any other Pokemon who're living in their natural habitat. The only difference I can think of at the top of my head are their appearances and their names.

I see. [She wonders if Chopper would surprise him or he would find him par for course. That would be a pleasant surprise--if the reindeer were here. As it happened, and for the better, he wasn't.]

Well it's been fascinating. We should talk again sometime. Perhaps over a drink or two.

Certainly. But before you go, may I have your name?

Nico Robin. [she smiles] I look forward to it.

[He smiled in return] As would I.

Until then, you have a great day.

[And with that said, he cuts off the feed]
