Training, Steven thinks, would be easier if his Contracts still worked. Even if he hadn't been able to use Darkness for more than keeping their rented bungalow safe and skulking around at night without being seen, he knew the kinds of things that other people had done with the more advanced clauses. Being able to make people stay asleep or to scuttle down walls like a spider would have come in handy during this damn week of larceny bootcamp--and he can't believe he's actually trying to get good at this.
God, it wasn't like he wanted to be a criminal. He'd just come adrift in this weird other world, his body somehow restored into its default state, and been immediately press-ganged into what he was privately coming to think of as the Pokemon mafia. The Pokemafia?
Whatever. Organized crime with a really stupid uniform. At least they were going to release him into the wild soon. Maybe, if he was lucky, he'd even get off this stupid roof by then.
"How much longer do you think it'll be until the coast is clear?" he asks his companion under his breath.

Right. This might sound like an odd question to ask... but has anyone ever physically changed after being here for an extended period?
[All signs pointed to this world not, actually, being on the other side of the Hedge... but it was good to make sure.]
Gear
Were there any particular changes you had in mind?
Re: Gear
Changes that make you more capable of fulfilling your role here, I guess.
Gear
Nobody really seems to expect us to live up to that designation. You are even free to switch it, if you want. But in general, I would say that just learning to understand pokemon and bonding with them, as well as studying battle strategies or breeding manuals will help you become a better trainer or breeder. You really don't need any physical changes.

[ He stops typing for about half a minute, rubbing his brow and trying to think about what he wants to say. Eventually he types: ]
I ended up in another world for a while before this. The bodies of people there *would* change after a while. You'd start to be able to see in the dark or maybe you'd get extra joints in your fingers. If someone worked with animals they'd start to look like the animals they worked with.
I'm back to normal here. I guess I just wanted to make sure this place doesn't follow the same rules.
Gear
Things can get a little... strange during those weekends, but everything goes back to normal once it is over.
Re: Gear
Thank you.
Gear
If you don't mind me asking, you've visited other worlds before?

Goldenrod
The Australian-accented voice is at regular volume: and directly behind Steven. Because when he turns, there's a man who looks to be in his mid-twenties, wearing a overly large singlet and underwear and nothing else; with one hand on a fat little Duskull that is glaring daggers at the uniform Steven is wearing. "Because I will shove you off it before I call the cops."
Re: Goldenrod
Goddamnit.
"Look," he says, putting his hands in the air. "I haven't actually done anything larcenous yet. This was just training. For casing a joint."
His trainer, he notes sourly, has already abandoned him.
Re: Goldenrod
Gil himself looks... unsympathetic. "You know that's not helping your case, right? Because telling me you're planning on casing a joint isn't helping your case."

Re: Goldenrod
Re: Goldenrod
"You said country." He's staring intently; if one was generous, it could be said it's animalistic. "Where? And don't bullshit me - I'm from Australia."
Which could mean nothing, or it could be everything.
Re: Goldenrod

He turns his focus back to the American. "I'm Gil."
