[in which the rich brat has to work for the first time in his life, probably]
Trip's sticking up flyers, apparently, as well as handing some out, advertising an odd assortment of skills, but he's also acting a bit shifty and has his hoodie up, like he doesn't want to be recognized.
"For hire.
Skills: photography, tracking, exorcism.
Prices negotiable."
Followed by some contact details.
Somebody has been too much of a spendthrift without regard for the future, refused to downgrade from his prior standard of accommodations (read: kept staying at expensive hotels), and hasn't made enough in winnings to support himself, so.

[A warm meal! A warm meal! God, he might even have soup! His throat's so dry... he'd love a warm meal in this cold weather.
His tummy rumbled audibly, but he'll ignore it and try his best to act like it came from somewhere else!]
... yeah, it's really nice. I'm not familiar with all of it, but it's great to get to try new things, even if I do miss Unova.

[After she slammed into something the first time, he tried to reach out to redirect her the second but hesitated. If Alice seemed like she'd walk into something a third time, Trip was going to try and block her off with his arm and tug her wrist with his other hand.]
... are you okay?
no subject
... but some places in Unova are definitely a lot colder. Like Icirrus City, that place freezes over completely in the winter.
[He'll answer her questions, because Alice is clearly trying to have polite conversation, but he's still a bit worried about her clumsiness.]

... you're sure you're okay? Those things didn't pop up out of nowhere, if you couldn't see them...

[They come up to the soba stand and Alice stops at one of the outdoor tables.]
Tell me what you want to order! I'll handle it.
no subject
Kake-soba.
[He just picked the first one that was described as a soup, really! It being a New Year's meal was lost on him.]
no subject
[She walks over and makes an order, then sits down on the other end of the table.]
I suppose I do tend to trail off. But in all fairness, people get confused when I try to explain everything, and also I'd just get distracted by explaining other things, and nothing would ever get done. But I can explain whatever you're confused about! Just ask me anything.

[Talking would also make the time pass more quickly, won't it?]
no subject
[And after a pause to confirm that he doesn't know what the Voices are, she'll give him the same explanation she gave Manzana. They're an eldritch legion that possess and puppet a host for a journey, they usually set out to accomplish some goal, and in return, they'll make the host Champion before leaving them and returning to what she calls "the stream."]
I became a host... when I was 11. Before I contracted with the Dome.
no subject
S...so you were possessed by some... voices belonging to an omniscient figure? Which you think is Arceus? And they came from some other world?
... that sounds like a lot.
no subject
Most of us have been living in the void afterwards. Most of the time, anyway. Until something pulled us all out almost two years ago now.
no subject
[He didn't quite understand what Alice meant. The others who were chosen like her?]

Because there's definitely something strange about the time here.

There's apparently someone here who knows a younger version of me. I don't want to deal with the ramifications of meeting him, in case it alters the course of his life, even if it won't affect mine, but... it's weird, right?
