Day 46 - [Text]

[In the light of certain events, such as how Saffron is still like an action movie and full of explosions (or mock explosions? It’s hard to tell), there’s a rather frantic text message on the network.]

STUPID TRAINER ISN’T WAKING UP
WE YELLED AND HE’S STILL DOZING AWAY
DID A SHEDINJA MAKE HIM SLEEP AGAIN?
HELP HELP HELP
WAKE HIM UP
ASTERISK IS CRYING
NO ONE MAKES ASTERISK CRY
NOT EVEN STUPID TRAINER_

[So there’s a frantic Porygon-Z capslocking on the network, because, well, Fortran was around when Atsuro fell asleep last time during the Shedinja incident. Asterisk was there at the time, back when she was a young Cleffa. So...bad memories all around.

Seriously guys, DID A SHEDINJA TAKE THEIR TRAINER AWAY AGAIN?!]

(OOC: Atsuro's in a mod approved canon update coma! He'll be back next week on June 11th aka his birthday with postgame memories!)

OKAY
SINCE
WE THOUGHT IT'S THOSE SHEDINJA AGAIN
SO HE'S JUST BE SLEEPING?

Should be, unless you've seen one of those Shedinjas around. What did they do, anyway?

Uhhhh
I think it's a few years back?
OH YEAH THREE YEARS?
Lots of Shedinjas around.
Trainers looking at their backs, they fell asleep.
Something about their souls being taken.

...Those things can steal souls, and people still train them? Is everyone here insane?

I say so!
Everyone's crazy for training them even after that Shedinja thing.

But I haven't heard of anyone's soul being stolen for a while.

If it only happens once in a while these days, the word might not spread very far, if at all. Especially if the ones affected lose their souls while exploring caves or forests.

Oooooooh
Okay
But how do they get their souls back?
Shedinja spit them out?_

...Maybe? I mean, what can a bug even do with a soul in the first place?

I don't know.
I'm not a bug.
The insect bug one.

[Since, well, the Porygon line are literally made of data.]

I'm sure your code is very functional and elegant.

[That should be a nice compliment for a being made of data, right?]

Maybe they have a nice taste or something.

[Yep. Although it's kind of funny, since Porygon-Z are born from Porygon2 being exposed to "dubious" data...]

Thank you!

If souls have a nice taste, wouldn't they want to keep it??_

Maybe they go bad if they're away from their original bodies. Like milk out of the fridge.

So human souls are like perishable food.
And their bodies are their fridge?

That's a possibility. To be honest, I'm not very used to people having confirmed souls, so I'm not sure.

Not used to?
People have their own minds.
Why not souls?_

Souls are more of a theory than a fact, in my world.

Your world?
Oh.
Where you're from?_

Ah, a trick question. Do you mean the place where I was born, my legal residence, where I was when I was brought here, or the name of my whole world?

Uhhhhhh
All?_

It's a secret, it's another secret, inside a mobile suit between La Gramis and Nortrum, and Earth.

...
Hey! What do you mean by "secret"?!

Mobile suit like those stuff Euler love to watch?_

That information is classified, and can only be accessed with the proper permissions.

...Hang on a second, he likes to watch mobile suits? They have flight demonstrations around here and no one told me?

Define "permission"._

[If there's an opportunity, can he hack it...]

I don't know. I know he likes watching them on TV.

It takes a few single-use passwords that can only be obtained with proper references from certain trustworthy individuals that are not present in this world.

[Knowing the name 'Asemu Asuno' works, too.]

What day/time/channel?

And does it have an locking and/or alarm system for receiving the wrong password inputs X number of times?

[Just curious...]

Every Saturday at [INSERT POKE-CHANNEL & TIMESLOT].
