[ parvati's in her room, you think. it's a simple space. it isn't messy, but it isn't exactly clean either. there's a lot of things just scattered about; a few fledgeling plants in messy and lopsided clay pots, multiple toolsets, and various parts and knicknacks that are presumably for her use later. there's a large beanbag next to her window, and multiple shelves lined with trinkets. some that probably stand out are a wooden statuette of tenna t-posing (?), a crochet snow-pikachu, and a neatly folded scarf that inexplicably looks like a long bacon.

parvati herself is close to the pearl, that she's propped up on her small table that's covered in even more random parts she's acquired, and never used nor put away. screws, bolts, some rough equivalent to bobby pins she's found, hair ties...

she's shuffling in her seat, grinning from ear-to-ear ~~does she even have ears~~ in excitement about something she's holding out of frame. ]

Guys! Look what I found! [ whatever she's holding doesn't remain a mystery for long - she pulls it into frame and holds it up to the aperture. it's a picture of two women, in a hexagonal frame. ] No clue how it got here, but I had this! In my room! Back home!

[ a wistful sigh. she points to the woman sitting. ] That's what I look like. Looked like. [ her finger then moves to the woman who is standing. ] And that's Junlei! My girlfriend!

[ her glee is almost childlike. ]

[ Henry doesn't use the Pearl much because he's not a huge fan of how it makes his brain all open to other Pokemon, BUT he's happy he did because it's kind of a relief to see something nice like this.]

You both look great. Where did you find this picture?

[ oh! parvati hasn't seen this guy around before. it takes a moment to adjust to the unfamiliar face before she continues. ]

Thanks. And, uh. In the woods? If you'd believe it? [ and while she should have stopped questioning it by now, she still doesn't believe it fully herself. ]

[ Henry appears thoughtful, his antennae waving. If she found a photo of herself out in the woods at random...there was a good chance that things from his own home could be scattered around the world as well. Maybe even important things! Not that her photo wasn't important--just the opposite! ]

[ It made sense because the new Pokemon were coming from new places every time...so there was no real way to know where the hole in this world was, huh? ]

[ Henry realizes he's been staring blankly at the Pearl.]

I believe it.

That's good. Dunno what I would've done if folks had thought I'd gone crazy. [ there's still time for that don't worry. ] I'm Parvati, by the way. Don’t think we've spoken before...?

[ or she just needs to get out more. or work less. girl. ]

[ He shakes his head. ]

We haven't. I'm Henry.

[ He also needs to get out more. He's either tending his carrots or sitting curled up in his bunk reading. ]

Has anyone else found things from their world?

SINTO brought some people stuff from home back in December. Mostly computers, from what I've gathered. I think Akechi called it a phone...?

[ she shrugs, adjusting her goggles. ] And they brought me my clothes. Somehow.

It's real nice to meet you, by the way.

[ See, Henry, when you reach out you meet friendly Pokemon! He's not the best at emoting, but he does put in some effort to give her a small smile.]

It's nice to meet you too. Were you an inventor in your world?

[ He is judging by all the unfinished projects and also her Cool Goggles. He might be biased, since he can't take his own "goggles" off. ]

Close enough. Never really invented stuff, mostly a tinkerer. [ she can't help but snort. ] I'm an engineer. Formerly aboard the Unreliable and now humbly of Bottlecap Bay.

[ she's more of an inventor here than she ever was back home, now that she thinks about it. henry isn't even wrong. ]

[ His antennae lift slightly. Aboard? Was it as ship ship or a spaceship he wonders...]

I'll be sure to call on you if anything needs tinkering.

I'd be happy to.

[ she's sort of become the unofficial handywoman of the bay. she needs to make fliers or something. ]

Provided I'm not, uh, busy with other stuff. Never know when something new needs fixing.

That's true...

[ He's quiet for a moment and then he thinks to offer her something for all the hard work she's been doing around the bay. ]

Does the type of Pokemon you are eat...carrots?

[ parvati's setting down her photo somewhere out of frame when henry asks her this. she blinks, then laughs. ]

Yeah. I still ain't used to 'em fully, but I eat 'em. [ no veggies in space and all. ]

I'm growing a few. I'll save some for you if you ever need them.

D'aw, you don't gotta do that. But thanks. [ gives her an excuse to figure out new recipes for dinner. ] I'd feel bad for just taking it, though... me and Courier Six make bread. Would you wanna make it a trade?

Sure, we can trade.
