[If you've visited the island any time in the past week, then you would have had the briefest conversation with Station Master in the elevator, right before you stepped off onto the island, demeanor as polite as ever as he speaks--]

I'm trying out some new cookie recipes and wanted to know if you wanted to try some. Stop by, when you and your friends are able. I’m thinking of baking up a big batch on Saturday and pass them out where we met before. You really should come.

[--before the doors of the elevator will close, dissuading further conversation. He certainly looked far too serious to be talking about cookies.]

---

[For those who take Station Master up on his offer, he'll be waiting by the warehouse up on the island, distracted, before waving people inside. Inside are cookies, muffins, and cups of water, but those aren't the real reason he's summoned you here. When Station Master steps inside, he removes his hat, but his gaze is still distant, as if he has other thoughts preoccupying him.]

I’m sorry for calling everyone here on such short notice. I’m afraid I had little choice though and my message is not an enjoyable one.

[His expression is serious now, very serious.]

This morning I intercepted a message meant for the Head Nurse from the lead scientists who are behind this experiment. I was able to erase the message, leaving her unaware of its existence for now but I’m afraid I’ve only been able to buy us some time, nothing more.

[He’s reaching into his pocket now, drawing out a folded piece of paper. The message for those who’d rather read it black on white.]

It said they have gathered all the data needed and are shutting down this project. They’ve also given her the all clear on eradicating all left over assets. That is to say… you.

((Now with a summary))

[ She takes out a Pokeball and calls out one of her Pokemon, then! And suddenly, before her new shota friend, there was a Lilligant! ]

Lilil, meet ... um. I'm sorry, I never got your name ...

Ohh... she's pretty...

[oops his eyes got all shiny.

Wait. Name?]

... Ah! Hazuki Nagisa!

Hazuki? It's nice to meet you, I'm Hilda. And again, this is Lilil.

[ Lilil does a little curtsy to greet him. ]

Oh, it would be Western order for you then? Hazuki is my family name. My given name is Nagisa!

[He giggles a little, actually bowing back to Lilil and Hilda.]

It's nice to meet you too, Hilda-chan!

Oh, okay ... It's nice to meet you then, Nagisa.

[ She smiles. ]

Ah, I think we've talked before ... over the network.

[ Here she's forgetting she was anon for that post. Uhhh. ]

... have we?

Yeah, um ...

[ Oh. Well. Uh. She was anon for that. But she may as well come clean. She looks to the side a little, a blush on her cheeks. ]

I was the one freaking out about my friend kissing me.

Oh.

[That girl. The one with the relationship troubles. She--]

... OH!

[Sorry, Hilda, you're getting your shoulders grabbed and shaken slightly]

HAVE YOU TALKED TO HIM YET?! YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME!

[ rkgkrgkrgnlkergklrjg ]

I-I'm working on it! Really! It's not as easy as just saying something!

But you should! Before it's too late!

H-Hey, who says there will be an end here in this place?!

But even then ... I intend to talk to him. I will. I have to find him first ...

People don't use the word 'eradicate' unless they're planning something super horrible and final!

A... and even if we weren't gonna be killed, do you really wanna miss out on a chance like that?

And you don't think we'll fight back?

... I'm still not too sure how I feel, but I know I don't want to be awkward around him anymore.
