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!

A good question! Naturally, depending on the Gate, there could be risks that range from minimal to life-threatening. That being said, apprentices will never be without their mentor when entering the Spirit Realm. When you graduate as a fully fledged member, you still won't have to do it alone. All of us staying in Kaisou are part of a team, so we'll make sure you're supported and as safe as can be.

If you find that you're uncomfortable or afraid, there's no shame whatsoever in asking to stay back. We are always in need of help by way of data compilation, among other tasks.

Okay, that's good to know! You see, I...I don't really like ghostly things, but my understanding of the Spirit Realm so far tells me that it's not like that at all.

[ Sure isn't. She looks intrigued. Her interest piqued with the mention of Pokemon, but Sorey's explanation is pretty convincing. ]

Uh, well? I guess I should check it out and see it for myself... Ever since seeing a Pokemon for the first time, I've been really curious about them, so I'm not opposed to giving it a try, I guess!

[notevensorey]

We'd be delighted to teach you! Both about the Spirit Realm and Pokemon. There are still some gaps in our knowledge, but that's why we have research teams dedicated to figuring out the truth.

[squished]

I'd appreciate it! And because of that, it seems like you guys are doing really good work, so I think I'd be interested in the apprenticeship program? Meaning that I should find a mentor?

[ A weak laugh, then: ]

Haha, I know, sounds silly coming from someone as clueless as I am, but I'm a quick learner!

[notevensorey]

We certainly try to, at least those of us who are still left. But finding a mentor out of those of us who're here would be an excellent first step.

[Sorey grins at her.]

That doesn't mean you can't learn and be part of something you love! You'll do just fine, I'm sure of it!
