What are Albert's favorite and least favorite things about Johto so far?

[worktodo]

...I have to pick just one "least favorite"? Oh, lord.

At this precise moment in time, Albert's favorite thing about Johto is probably the fact that Coop seems happy in it. Which just goes to show you how little Albert likes Johto, really, because Coop was happy in Twin Peaks, too, and Albert wouldn't say something positive about Twin Peaks if you gave him a billion dollars to do it. The thing about Albert is that he remembers Pittsburgh, and Windom, and just how bad things got for Coop — and at his current canonpoint, they're well entrenched in the hunt for Windom on top of it — and then he comes here and sees Coop in Johto and it's like...yeah, life and karma have been sucker-punching Coop in the face for as long as Albert's known him and now he's finally, finally getting some semblance of a break from that. In Albert's book, that's not a bad thing by any means.

The thing he hates most about Johto, on the other hand, is probably how rural it is, comparatively speaking. Albert hates small towns and folksy mentalities, and thus far the vast majority of the cities he's ended up in have been these tiny little backwoods locales — and the ones that weren't had destroyed Pokemon Centers and landmarks so their medical facilities were reduced to the Dark Ages, too, and it just pisses him off so bad because he's like dammit, just give me a city and a working lab and all the tools I require and GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY. B(

Also he refuses to use the word "Pokemon" because that is his SILENT REBELLION against belief in this place.

Did Carmen ever think about/wish she had siblings? Why or why not?

ALBERT IN LOVE When did Albert start smoking? Additionally, what kind of music does he like?

[doitrockapella]

I don't think so, actually! We know that from age two onward, she was growing up in the Golden Gate Girls' School, which was like combination orphanage and boarding school, and we also know that there were at least a handful of other girls Carmen's age around while she was there. (Coincidentally, I always think that picture is sort of telling in that you've got these five little girls standing in a line, and yet they're still pretty evidently split into two pairs of two, and Carmen in the middle with the bear. Even as a kid she was a loner in a crowd.) So I don't think she'd be eager for a sibling her own age, because her classmates were already acting in a similar capacity for her, and I don't think she'd envision a younger sibling because of how independent she was as a kid; I'd imagine she'd have seen them more as something slowing her down than an asset.

As for older siblings...I don't think she'd really want a sister, but that might be because most if not all her older influences in canon are male, and she seems to take better to Playing In The Boys' League™, as it were. An older brother, though...if it were going to be anything, I think it'd be that. In a sort of "the Mycroft Holmes to her Sherlock"-y sort of way.

But no, by and large she didn't think a lot about siblings. Parents, yes. And possibly she thought about siblings in a manner sort of incidental to that — "I wonder who my parents are, and if they have kids other than me, and where they are if I'm here" — but she probably didn't dwell on that too much because let's be honest, thinking about that too much would only lead into questions of "so why didn't my parents want me, then?" and that's just super depressing.

GILLIAN ANDERSON

Early on in his FBI career, I think. He was out of college and into the Bureau before he did, because as a kid he was one of Those Kids who is all like HELLO DO YOU KNOW WHAT SMOKING DOES TO YOUR LUNGS — not because of any social stigma (which, obviously, was a lot less back in the day) but more because he actually knew what carcinogens were and what they do to human tissue and he was just sort of like "really? really." when it came to cigarettes. Also factor in that a lot of the reason why young people start smoking is because they're trying to ~look cool~ or ~fit in with a crowd~, and then ask yourself how much Albert Rosenfield would legitimately actually care about either one of those things. I mean come on now.

That said, he picked it up after a given stint of time working in forensics. I imagine he probably saw something that rattled him pretty badly and knowing better than to try to console him (because lulz, Albert), one of the senior agents just kind of handed him a pack and left him alone, and after he silently pondered it for a little while, he lit up. Admittedly, some of why he persisted in it was for the calming anxiety-reducing effects that come with the nicotine, but the reason that he doesn't admit is because the smell of the smoke is better than the stink of formaldehyde and rotting corpses. So he actually trained himself into finding the smell of the smoke appealing specifically so that he'd have an easy alternative to the smells of other, more horrifying things. Like death and blood and preservative.

As for music, my initial thought was that he likes jazz. Though I wouldn't put it past him to like some big band and rock and roll, too, so long as it's good rock and roll and none of that shaggy-haired Beatles-generation boy band crap.
