[When Emily pecks at the 'Gear a low humming issues from it, the screen flashing brighter and dimming a bit. More text appears but it's not Zip's doing, it's thanks to Emily's pecking. That doesn't seem to stop Zip from trying to respond, though.

Meanwhile Chihiro nervously folds his hands in front of him after reaching up to brush a lock of his hair behind his ear.]

T..thank you. I, um....I work with computer programming a lot.

[callmeyork]

[Emily's pecking is mostly at random, and just produces gibberish. A typist, she's not.

York quietly grabs the little bird, gently placing her back by the tiny coffee cup.]

I'll invest in typing lessons for you some day. Don't mind Emily, she's fairly curious about everything.

So, you were a programmer before you came here? Must be a pretty far cry from home, then.

[codeforhope]

[Chihiro just shakes his head a little, watching Emily as she sits by her tiny little coffee cup. That's....different, but he'd be lying if he said it wasn't cute.]

Oh, it's ok...

I was, yes. It's...not so bad here, though. With Pokemon so closely linked with technology like Porygon and Rotom.... there's still a lot for me to learn about.

[callmeyork]

[Not only is Emily hopping around her cup, but she's also dunking her head in and taking little sips. Is this safe for Pokemon? Who knows.]

I see what you're getting at. I'm more interested in the Psychic-types, being an investigator and all.

[codeforhope]

[Pokemon are surprisingly resilient, at least. Maybe if she's careful she won't have to worry about getting any burns on her face from the coffee. Maybe it's just a matter of seeing what your Pokemon likes. For instance, Chihiro's Zigzagoon loves Pecha Berries. Then again, those are kinda for Pokemon anyway...]

I see... I've been trying to learn about all the different types, since I'm a breeder here as well...

[callmeyork]

[Whatever the case, it seems that the Natu is enjoying it, giving little happy chirps after some of the sips.]

Really? I wouldn't have pegged you as a Breeder. But to each, their own. I guess I'm pigeonholed into "Trainer" because there isn't really any sort of government investigative body around here for me to sign up with.

... I don't think we've been properly introduced. [He reaches into his suit pocket, procuring an FBI badge and flashing it a little too close to Chihiro's face.]

FBI Special Agent Francis York Morgan. Please, call me York. That's what everyone calls me.

[codeforhope]

[Chihiro blinks, leaning back slightly but otherwise staying where he is.]

Ah....it's nice to meet you, York. ...My name is Chihiro Fujisaki. ...You can call me Chihiro, though.

[Chihiro or Fujisaki, really. Different people seemed more apt to call him Chihiro, while others- mostly his classmates- called him Fujisaki.]

[callmeyork]

[The badge goes back into his pocket, and he leans back into the chair like nothing happened.]

Chihiro, then. Nice to meet you, too. I take it you were whisked away here from Japan? [Judging by the clothing choice and the name, mostly.]

[codeforhope]

[He nods slightly.]

Mhm. From a school. Me and most of my classmates, actually.

meanwhile days later

[callmeyork]

Ah, well. Lucky that you get people around that you know. Can't say I got to enjoy that advantage.

[But at least Zach's around! Not that Chihiro will know about that...]
