Alvin will have acquired his own little carrier pigeon to send messages, so he'll have one stationed at the main carrier pigeon place that will come and find him.

In the meanwhile, this is the entry for any private messages that are delivered via the carrier pigeon system.

[ You didn't know anything, Alvin!!! ]

One's Cilan. He wants to learn how to communicate with creatures-- or pokémon specifically, really, but I have an idea of how to get him started that involves battling. There's another guy called Glenn! You might've seen him around. He looks like this--

[ Here be a very froggy swordsman. ]

He's hard to miss! He wants to learn defensive dunamis and he uses a sword, so that should be easier with you and Ludger!

[ ... ]

Uh- I think so, anyway.

[opportunitycosts]

[Doesn't stop him from saying he did!!!]

Wait, the frog guy is Glenn? ...I thought his name was Frog. [WHOOPS.]

But sounds like a fun party regardless. I'd be game for it.

[gottacatch]

Oh-- his name's Glenn, but he uses Frog. It's...a long story. [ He should remember the Frog thing more. Maybe ask Glenn what prefers??

Anyway. ] There's just something I need to know: what can you do with dunamis so far? Are you still trying to control what comes out, or can the both of you change it already?

doobie doobie doop

[opportunitycosts]

I'll ask him later because it sounds kind of interesting.

But we've managed to get the control part down and working on trying to actually make something out of the emotions. Ludger's getting a better handle on it than me—he's always been a quick learner.

[That mimicking cheater.]

suffer

[gottacatch]

Mm, so... it's just making it shape into what you want it to be now, right? Is it offence or defence you want to learn first? And is Ludger just learning what to do with a weapon?

you suck I USE DIVERSION

[opportunitycosts]

Basically, and currently defense since that's something I'm actually lacking. As for Ludger—

[Hold on.]

You should just ask him.

rude??? I'M YOUR FRIEND :(

[gottacatch]

--Huh?! [ what, what is this thing you're suggesting-- ] I can't do that!

He works with you. You can ask him!

i play a traitor friendship is meaningless

[opportunitycosts]

What do you mean you can't do that? I don't know everything that Ludger is planning or doing.

:( :( :(

[gottacatch]

He's your friend, not mine! It's going to be weird if I suddenly started talking in his head after last time!

[opportunitycosts]

I thought "last time" you were talking about dunamis already. Did something else happen?

[gottacatch]

Nnnoo... the last time I talked to him like that. Was then.

[ Red isn't being shy about how awkward he's feeling right now, Alvin. ]

That's why you should ask him if he even wants to do something like that with me around.

[opportunitycosts]

[........Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Gotcha.]

All right, I can ask him and report back. So what do you want to know again?

[gottacatch]

Well... you should ask what I just said first [ because that's the most important ], but if he wants to learn anything defensive would be a good start for everyone. I can help with any offensive skills you want to learn later on, but I have more practice in using dunamis defensively-- like protecting yourself, knocking things away or making targets stop moving... things like that!

[ He doesn't have fancy names for his moves ok. ]

[opportunitycosts]

And you're thinking of a kind of group get together with Sir Glenn the Frog and Cilan, right?

[gottacatch]

Right!

[opportunitycosts]

All right, I'll pass it onto him. [that will be completely handwaved] When do you think this would be?

[gottacatch]

[ Hmm, when... ]

How about... the weekend. Sunday? [ ... ] You know when Ludger and Cilan and yourself have work. You can pick a better day than me.

[ we'll work it out in plurk ]

[opportunitycosts]

Sunday should be fine.

[excellent plan]
