001 ✩ ( audio )

[rosen]

[ The red-head has an extremely displeased expression on her face, but too bad you can't see it. Audio will suffice for everyone. No use getting more familiar than need be, after all. An audible irked tone will be heard by anyone who cares to listen to her. ]

While I'm certain this isn't Kamigusk, or anywhere near the academy, I'm lost as to where exactly I am. I apologize for this ignorance, and can assure you I'll get my bearings once acclimated to the area. A map would be nice, if one can be supplied to me. I refuse to trust any objects in this backpack until it's proven not to be cursed or rigged. Not to mention I have no mother, so this farce that is going on is ludicrous.

This creature that I've been given is also an unexpected burden and I'd much like to get rid of it somewhere. If you'd like to take good care of a floating cat-like animal, please reply with your request, though I refuse to give it to anyone unqualified.

I don't think anyone expects you to know where you are, since it's someplace so different, but I do have a map I've made of the area, if you'd like! And the pokemon you woke up with is actually something that'll be a big help to you here, so you shouldn't get rid of it!

[rosen]

[ She recognizes that word, Pokemon, from that trying man preaching earlier on. ]

I see. That would be incredibly kind of you and I'll be in your debt. I take it that you're a local?

[[Attachment: MapofJohto It's a pretty big file, it might take a little while to get there. It's all hand drawn on graph paper and photographed so it could be put in the phone to send to people. From the zoom of it, it's easy to tell that the real map is pretty friggin' huge and detailed. This is just the overview! It's also not 100% compleate as it only covers areas Bakura's been already, but for the routes from New Bark to Goldenrod, it's very detailed]]

Not really. No one on this network is, I don't think. [[a smile at that]] But I've been here a while.

[ Misaki purses her lips. ] So it's normal for people to be taken from their homes and placed here, then?

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

For this place, un. It's how it happened to all of us.

[Video]

[rosen]

How unfortunate. This kind of magic is extremely troublesome.

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

Un, it can be! But it's not too bad, being here, even with the abrupt way that it happens.

[Video]

[rosen]

I can't speak from experience, having just arrived, but I can assure you that I have better things to do than wander aimlessly here.

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa, but that's the best part! [[for most people anyway]] When you go back, it'll be like you never left. So the things you had to do back home will still be waiting just as you left them.

[rosen]

While that seems like it would be a very convenient spell to know, magic is tricky and doesn't always work the way we're told it will. I'll believe it when it happens to me, although there will be no need by that point.

[Kamigusk? But that would mean...

...huh.]

You wouldn't happen to mean the capital, would you?

[Audio]

[rosen]

[ That voice is familiar to her but not so familiar that she'd immediately recollect it. It is strange, though, that he's familiar with her countries capital. ]

Yes. Where I come from, anyway, and I'm assuming where you come from as well.

[Audio]

[youngforhisage]

Indeed I am! To imagine... I was quite sure that no one from my world would end up here as well.

At any rate, the backpack is perfectly safe. If you plan to leave that town, you will need both the items supplied in the bag and the creature that is with you.

[Audio]

[rosen]

So you've been here for some time then. Have you returned home at all?

Thank you; I might go through it's contents in a more secure setting, just to be safe. There's quite a lot of people gathered here. The creature on the other hand. [ Her misdreavus makes an audible noise at the mention of it. ] is another matter entirely.

[Audio]

[youngforhisage]

A few months shy of a year, yes. And I have not been home since, although from what I hear that is not much of an issue.

If that is what you feel would be safest, feel free to do so. It would be good to take an inventory, at the very least. If I am remembering correctly, it is just enough to make the three day journey to the next town. And as for the creature... Well, you will probably find other, aggressive kinds on the road, so I would not be so quick to leave it behind.

[Audio]

[rosen]

[ Traveling isn't a big issue to her. The home thing, though? That is. There's a moderate period of silence as she contemplates the situation before finally speaking again. ]

It is an issue for me.

[Audio]

[youngforhisage]

Oh? And why might that be?

[Audio]

[rosen]

I have a job to do. What kind of assistant abandons her position without notice?

[Audio]

[youngforhisage]

I can understand that. I was on something of a job myself when I wound up here... However, from what I can tell, time is completely stopped in our worlds while we are here. Or at the very least, should anyone return, it is to the exact moment they left at.

[Audio]

[rosen]

Oh? And what proof do you have to back up those words?

[ It comes out a bit brasher than intended. ]

[usedshooshpap]

I GUESS YOU COULD TRY TO GET RID OF YOUR POKEBEAST.
THE PROBLEM IS, YOU CAN'T DO JACK SHIT WITHOUT THEM.
I DON'T THINK THEY'LL EVEN LET YOU LEAVE THE TOWN WITHOUT AT LEAST YOUR STARTING PARTNER.

[rosen]

So I'm supposed to treat it as a charge?

[usedshooshpap]

THINK OF IT AS A PARTNER SLASH PET.

[rosen]

It seems irresponsible to give a pet to someone without knowing whether they are qualified. I can assume that I need to feed and water it, but with a creature like this, I've been given no specifics.

[usedshooshpap]

THEY REALLY KIND OF TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES WHEN IT COMES TO THAT?
FEED THEM, WATER THEM. JUST SPEND SOME TIME WITH THEM.
I MEAN IF A CHILD CAN FUCKING HANDLE IT, THEN THERE SHOULD BE NO ISSUE HERE.
