[There's been a lot of stuff going on on Coop's end lately. Between fighting sudden fire mutations, two of his coworkers arriving, having very interesting dates and other shenanigans going on, he hasn't felt the need nor exactly had the time to adress the network.]

[Today is different.]

[Today is a very important day with a very important topic.]

Evening, network! I have a proposition to make.

[Wait for it ...]

While there is no shortage of action in both regions, especially as of late, [you Rockets been busy, haven't you,] I still find that I have a preference to the kind offered by puzzle games. And to my knowledge I'm not the only one.

So how about some friendly competition? I'd love a Tetris score to beat other than my own.

[YEP. He's still playing. It's been a year since he last mentioned it and since then, what with all the game recommendations, he's been slowly going through most games the apps have to offer. And gotten mildly addicted to almost all of them. But Tetris is still his one true love. Tetris and Minesweeper.]

I'm thinking an all-encompassing high score table. I'll keep it updated for as long as there's interest. Any takers?

[Dork.]


[Also action for anyone in Goldenrod - he'll be easily found along the streets, hanging out with some of his pokémon, window shopping or  messing with his gear some. It's a nice quiet day and he's happy to just soak in that for a while.]

Audio, private to Heather: I'm in town. Do you have time to meet?

Does anyone else play Tetris?

_{[Guess who finally discovered the game apps on his 'gear! And guess who's been playing the games ever since! Spoiler: this guy. Cooper sounds pretty excited, actually, in that almost kid-like way that the ones who know him will probably recognise. He speaks fast and chipper.]}

Damn good game. Very engaging, very challenging. I've yet to get past the 100 lines mark, but I'd very much like to believe I'm getting there.

_{[Beat. You know, sometimes he really doesn't want to be here, but this games-in-the-gears-thing certainly picked him up.]}

Falling puzzle pieces _[:D] ... that Minesweeper game isn't half bad, either. And if I've got my facts right there are more games available for purchase at the PokéMarts. So, Network: any recommendations?

_{[You should be able to HEAR the grin in his voice, seriously.]} Nothing like a good game to keep you occupied.


_[Action _{for anyone in Ecruteak! You're likely to find him somewhere in the middle of town on a park bench or something, cross-legged with an Eevee asleep in his lap, playing Tetris on his 'gear like a boss.]}
