WHO: Sorey and y'all!
WHERE: The Libra app
WHEN: Around May 12th
WHAT: Sorey has an exciting announcement to make!
WARNINGS: Shouldn't be anything more than language

[Sorey has been a bit busy lately, but he's cheerful as always when he addresses the network at large. His adorable Comfey, Alice, is a new addition to those who haven't been part of his therapy sessions.]

Hullo, everyone! I'm Dr Sorey Shepard, or Dr Rosewood if you'd prefer. I wanted to let you all know that I've asked Professor Oak, POKEGO's leader, for assistance with the magical college project. Three of our professors have volunteered to help be part of the faculty, so they should be arriving shortly. They'd be Professors Rowan, Juniper, and Sycamore! August and Waver, we can talk about how best to integrate them once they've arrived. I'll be sure to introduce you to each other.

In addition, I'm happy to announce that we would like to extend to Libra users an open invitation to join POKEGO through our apprenticeship program. Only if you want to! This is entirely voluntary. However, it's going to be a lengthy process involving a few background checks and a training program set up by your mentor. You're also free to leave at any point if you feel that it's not a good fit for you. However, should you choose to leave after 'graduating' from an apprentice, you won't be able to come back. Please, keep that in mind before you decide to go through with this. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll answer them as best I can!

[His smile then widens.]

Also, since people have been adopting, or getting adopted by, creatures from the Kanto Spirit Realm, if you have any questions at all about them, please don't hesitate to contact Yuuki Shinomiya! He'll answer all your questions about Pokemon! Professor Oak and I are confident in his knowledge of the creatures.

Thanks for your time, everyone!

[killerapp]

What do you mean ask me?!

[notevensorey]

[Sorey is just smiling!]

You're an expert in the field, of course! Professor Oak and I both agreed that you're the best for the job. You can consider it as part of your training, too, for Pokemon you need to further research for the answer to their questions.

[killerapp]

My field is coding, general compsci, and how to safely use tech in high or low tech gates! Nothing about that involves teaching people about Pokemon!

[notevensorey]

You're also quick to learn and tenacious when a question manages to stump you. You're the best one for the job, especially since three of us are going to be too busy between our jobs and researching the strange flowers.

[killerapp]

[. . .]

Did I just get this job because I'm the intern?

[He's not an intern and he knows this but also.]

[notevensorey]

It's all part of your continuing education, dear.

[That's not a yes or a no.]

[killerapp]

[He hates you so much right now, Sorey.]

You guys know I'm just going to give them the research notes, right?

[Maybe it's time to digitize that anyway.]

[notevensorey]

[He loves you, too, faithful student!]

And what of those who can't read or can't understand the research notes? They'll need your help to translate the technical to the layman's. That's a very valuable skill to cultivate, as I'm sure you know.

[killerapp]

[A skill he does not have! But he also knows he can't argue with the assignment, so he just sighs.]

If I'm doing this, I want a raise. You people stop trying to get me out of my apartment all the damn time.

[Not a raise in money, just a raise in "less forced socialization". He thinks. It does not occur to him to ask that they don't come over.]

[notevensorey]

[Bargaining, hmm?]

I'm afraid that's not my decision. This is coming straight from the top.

[Denied.]

[killerapp]

You really want me to believe Oak said that?

Not Here

[admonishinginstruction]

[He had nothing to do with this, he promises.


He's sure he's going to get blamed at some point though.]

[notevensorey]

Would I lie?

[killerapp]

You can't lie. But that doesn't mean I believe you asked him and he said that.

[notevensorey]

Professor Oak wants you to be more social. I'm not about to question his orders when I agree that the social interaction would be good for you.

[killerapp]

[Uuuugh. He hates that he can't argue with them. They're too good at avoiding and trapping him!!]

Fine. I'll get an email set up for Pokemon questions only.

[notevensorey]

[Sorey smiles.]

Very good! Thank you, Yuuki.
