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!

[No undue pressure here luckily. To Jun, it just makes sense if it's something that'll help him figure out what he wants. Especially when he's already tethered to POKEGO members anyway.]

I don't mind hard work, and I'm always open to try new things to help me learn things about myself.

[The part about the pokemon though makes him give a weak chuckle]

That would be good. I took care of a Sylveon before...but I think my father just ended up spoiling him.

[Alisa is a primadonna now. He didn't take him with him when he moved- he didn't want his dad to be alone and honestly Alisa was more taken with his dad anyway]

[with complete confidence] I know you are. [He knows you can do this, Jun!!!!]

Oh no. You'll definitely get points taken off if you spoil them too much. [He laughs a little awkwardly.] Learned that one the hard way...

You mean they found Princess Bountiful-Soft-Snow-Upon-the-Petals to be on the spoiled side? How ever could that be possible?

[He says a bit dryly]

[... Okay, so he walked into that one.]

I'll tell you what I told the proctor: she's a princess and deserves to be treated like one.

Right....I'll be sure to avoid royal Pokemon for mine then.

[He should probably ask Sorey for tips on pokemon treatment to avoiding spoiling then, but-]

So would you be willing to be my mentor?

[Mikleo continues to live up to his "cat person" reputation. However, Jun's question takes him a little by surprise.]

You'd choose me?

[... Not what he was expecting, but he loves the idea. Part of him just kind of assumed Jun would go with Sorey...]

I-I mean, of course I'd be willing! I planned on helping you as much as I could even if you didn't pick me as your mentor, so...

[Meanwhile for Jun, while he likes Sorey, the choice was easy for him.]

Of course. We're together a lot as it is, and I'm pretty used to your teaching style thanks to you helping me study.

Plus, as much as I like Sorey, I don't need to try it out to know psychology isn't the field for me. So it'd be more practical to have a mentor that specializes in a field I haven't already ruled out.

[Since Mikleo has cut in, he's waited to see what conclusion the two of them would come to. It's the obvious one to Sorey, but he's delighted by it all the same.]

I'd agree with that. Plus, ah, I think Mikleo would get a bit anxious if he wasn't the one teaching you.

[Mikleo isn't subtle about being a mom with their first and only child.]

Besides, Mikleo can give you a more generalized education to help you figure out which field you really want to study. I think that'll be more valuable than whatever I could teach you.

Haha, that's probably true too. When Mikleo and I first made our pact, he insisted I listened to his explanation of the entire process even though I'd already made a pact before.

[If the Lord Himself is not enough of an authority to stop Mikleo from giving his notes, then Sorey would have no chance. ]

[STOP CALLING HIM OUT]

There's nothing wrong with being prepared.

[Yeah, he's definitely relieved, though of course this comes with new pressure... He's sure they'll work through it, though.]

That's a good point.

Mm, it's too bad I lost my notes in all the upheaval last year. I had a binder with practically everything you needed to know to pass the general knowledge test, and then some. I took a lot of different classes and spent time with different teams to figure out what I wanted to do, and of course I wanted to be good at everything on some level. [a little awkward laugh] I wasn't, but that's part of learning, too.

[Yeah, that sounds very much like Mikleo alright.]

Sounds like a smart move to me. [Trying out a bunch of things] Even without that binder, it sounds like you'll be the perfect mentor for me.

So are you in?

[Awww... He can't help but feel a little happy. (He's going to do right by Jun if it fucking kills him.)] Who knew all my aimless wandering could benefit someone else someday?

I'm all in.

You know what they say, "Not all who wander are lost".

[But ahhh he said yes. Jun smiles]

Wonderful! Thank you, Mikleo. I'll work hard not to let you down.

Adventuring is just wandering with purpose.

[He's practically sparkling right now.]

I want you to focus on trying new things and having fun, okay? I know you'll work hard, but don't forget to enjoy the experience too.

[Jun will nod]

Understood! I'll be sure to do that.

Should I call you a special title now? Like Sensei or Shishou?

[Mikleo is very excited about everything but he's trying to keep his cool, as per the usual.]

Just Mikleo is fine. [... though he remembers something, and stifles a laugh.] I forgot that Vash calls me 'senpai' now. Yuuki, too. But that's it! Sensei makes me feel old.

[It's fine Mikleo he already knows you're a nerd]

Haha, does he? That's cute to imagine. [But Jun tends to lean informal if he's given permission so-] Alright, Mikleo it is!

I look forward to being your student.

I said it as a joke, and then he ran away with it. [As one does.]

I look forward to teaching you!

[He makes a thoughtful noise.]

I wonder if Star Wars references are better for this sort of thing. I'm a little fuzzier on those movies, though...

That sounds like something he'd do.

[...]

Don't the teachers die in those movies?

... Good point. Forget what I said.

[LMFAO]

[he snorts]

Consider it forgotten!
