01 | Voice/Video; Action for New Bark Town | How do I technology?

[colorsofthewind]

[ You can hear fabric rustling, and the sound is muffled, like someone left their 'Gear on inside their pocket. ] Calm down, Talim. Okay.

There must be some mistake-- Excuse me! Someone? This woman is not my mother. I must-- Oh! [ There's a thud, and the 'Gear goes clattering to the ground. The video kicks on at a rather odd angle, showing... someone's foot, a bag, a pokéball, and, well, the ground. ] I'm terribly sorry.

[ The foot knocks into the pokéball, causing it to open. Talim gives a squeak of surprise, and falls flat on her butt, narrowly missing the already fallen 'Gear. ]

Scyther.

Ah. Hello?

She's no one's mom.

She just likes to pretend she is. [helloooo new person]

[colorsofthewind]

[ She just sort of looks around, trying to find the source of the voice. Eventually she looks up at the Scyther. ]

Did you say something?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

[... pffft he snickers] Oi! Down here! The little voice coming from the little pink rectangle.

[video]

[colorsofthewind]

Hm? Oh-! [ The video swings around a bit as Talim picks up the "little pink rectangle". She can't help but stare- what sort of magic is this :O ] Oh my.

[bakaitoukid]

[waves happily, going :>] Hey there~

[video]

[colorsofthewind]

[ waves back! ] Hello! Do you live in there?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Nope. It'd be kinda cramped if I did, don't you think?

[video]

[colorsofthewind]

I guess that stands to reason, but if you're not in there, how am I able to see you?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Technology.

I have a little red rectangle that takes moving pictures of me, before sending them to your pink rectangle. 'M in a different city while I talk to you.

It's called the Pokegear.

[video]

[colorsofthewind]

Technology? I've never seen anything this advanced before. It's... strange, to say the least.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

You'll have to get used to it. All of the technology in Johto is strange like this.

[video]

[colorsofthewind]

You talk as though I'm stuck here. Am I?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

[sigh] For now, yeah.

[video]

[colorsofthewind]

Are you stuck here as well?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Unfortunately.

[video]

[colorsofthewind]

I'm sorry.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

We're all stuck here. I haven't met a single person who isn't a Johto native who came here on their own free will.

[video]

[colorsofthewind]

Are there a lot of us, then?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

One hundred? Maybe two?

[video]

[colorsofthewind]

... That many? Does anyone know why so many people have been brought here?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

... no.

'S something we've been trying to figure out ever since we got here.

[video]

[colorsofthewind]

Has there been any luck at all?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Not that I know of.

[video]

[colorsofthewind]

I see. [ she frowns a little ] There must be a purpose for us being here. I suppose we just have to keep pressing forward until we find it.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Whoever brought us here wants us to at least go on some grand adventure across the world. That's what most of us are doing.
