[As a Meiji era child, keeping on top of all the latest devices can be a bit of a whirlwind. It's an exciting one, though, always getting to learn something new! But for the next iteration of video calls to be.. a magical pearl...
Something feels backwards.
Rather,
Establishing a connection comes too easily the moment Akira thinks of it. Why wouldn't it? It's his own vision at first, a mess of tablets on types, moves and status effects, before he closes his eyes to seamlessly transfer to the grumpearl's perspective. Its holder is revealed to be a Slowking, the one previously bound to the clinic using his newly attained guild status to scour the archives instead. As he reopens his eyes with the view unchanged, he laughs.]
Sorryyy, force of habit.
[Sharing his own sight, and all.]
Anyway!
It seems our bodies are designed for combat, but I'm not really a fan of fighting, myself. So I've been researching Status moves instead.
A lot of them are pretty straightforward, right? Like inflicting and curing basic conditions, or boosting and suppressing our innate strengths. I'm not talking about those. More specifically, I've been learning about Terrains-- large scale effects that benefit friend and foe alike, and seem to have preventative capabilities. It sounds like some Pokemon even form these fields without thinking about it.
[So... On to the point. He soon looks determined.]
Does anyone have one? Can you show me how it works? I'm afraid I'm not strong enough yet to use one myself.
[Or to those more perceptive, maybe Psychic Terrain just isn't what he's searching for.]

The funniest part is even with aaall that practice, I can't seem to use the eyes on my shell when I want, yet!
But how interesting! Are only some of you corporeal, then? Or is it a matter of which parts? Your outer cloth must have made contact with others as you said, but what about your body underneath? Is there a difference at rest compared to attacking? Aah, now I want to examine you even more...

[She's... just going to not-so-subtly ignore all those questions he just asked her about herself, the sudden, instinctual spike of discomfort and defensiveness through their psychic connection the only indication that she even heard him at all. None of your business! it seems to say.]

I looked totally human, thouugh, so it's not as exciting as it sounds. [Because surely that's what those emotions sent through meant she was bothered about.]
What about you? I've known some pretty clumsy people, but your abilities make it look like you'd be adept at dodging. Were you already a ghost before you got here?
[Always better to guess wrong than to not ask at all.]
