[ Chie just happens to be sitting in a nearby tree with her back against the trunk, one leg pulled up and the other dangling over the side of the branch. She peers down at the yelling girl when she runs past and in a spur of the moment decision she decides to throw a Pokéball at her.

...At least she's aiming for her back and not her head, um. ]

[idolwild]

[Either way, it thumps resoundingly off of her shoulder, prompting a yelp — that, admittedly, is mostly from surprise, and not pain — and an abrupt halt.]

Huh...? Owww...

[It takes her a minute of looking around in bewilderment, but eventually she spots the fallen ball and bends down to pick it up, uncertain.]

Where did this come from?

[shuttermouse]

[ Chie watches her curiously as the girl looks around, her PokéGear half-raised in case she feels the urge to snap a shot despite the camera function not being good enough for her tastes. Eventually, she decides to speak up and reveal her presence: ]

Oh, I threw it to see if it'd work on humans.

[idolwild]

...

[With a faint noise of confusion, she turns toward the sound of the voice — and it's when she sees the person in the tree that things finally start to add up.

...And given that they're adding up to a pretty dick move, um.]

Don't just throw things at people! What kind of a jerk are you?!

[shuttermouse]

Sooorry. [ She says defensively, lowering the PokéGear she's holding. ] I won't do it again.

[idolwild]

You better not! Ugh, what bad luck, I keep meeting people like that...

[Luckily, the flare of temper doesn't seem to last for long.]

Um...but since you're here — do you know where this is?

[shuttermouse]

Route 29, in a region called Johto. [ She idly swings her leg back and forth, thinking about climbing down - but then decides that she's rather comfortable where she is. ]

Who's that Harada-kun guy person were yelling about earlier? Your boyfriend?

[idolwild]

[And then, suddenly, the two competing interests that suddenly emerge:

> who the hell doesn't know who harada-kun is, does this person just live under a rock

> she doesn't know who harada-kun is, and therefore she doesn't know that he's not her boyfriend...

Ehehehehehehehehehe...]

Really? You don't know the idol group, C.H.A.? They're world-famous! It's Chiba-kun, Harada-kun, and Ariga-kun, C-H-A!

[shuttermouse]

Nope! [ She shakes her head. ] I've never heard of them before.

[idolwild]

...Well, what have you been listening to?

[Mayu, fuckdammit.]

[shuttermouse]

Lots of old stuff, like the Beatles. Sometimes I listen to Ikuma-kun when he plays the guitar, but he's just a local guy trying to earn some extra cash playing songs near the train station.

[idolwild]

The...Beatles?

[ :|a ]

Well, what is it about them you like?

[shuttermouse]

Well... I like their wide range of songs, and they're nice to listen to even if I don't always understand the lyrics 'cause it's all in English.

[idolwild]

So it's music that makes you happy to listen to...

[...]

That's how I feel about C.H.A.! It's music that picks you up no matter where you are or how you feel!
