Day 1 - [Video] | [Action] for New Back Town

[babel_hacker]

[After 'Mom' rushed him out of the house (which was really strange, since she's not his real, hard working mother), Atsuro's been checking out the PokeGear, studying its functions and basically memorising which buttons does what.

Soon, the video feed turns on, as he expected.]

...Okay, it should be on now! [There’s the sound of a happy ‘Chinchou!’, too. Atsuro looks down at the Pokemon, still in shock, as well as...giddy and worried. He knows Pokemon, he especially played the games, so it’s a pleasant surprise to find himself in New Bark Town...his apparent home town?]

So anyone’s watching this? You don’t mind answering some of my questions? ‘cuz I want to be sure about some things.

[Is he really in New Bark Town for real, or is this all an illusion? A dream, maybe? Even if a part of him was happy to see Pokemon (even if this one was unfamiliar), he can’t help but be worried and feel unnerved. His speculative side takes over, thinking of possible ideas on ‘how’ and ‘why’.]

Do you know how I can get back to Tokyo? And is it normal to hear music like this? [Maybe he’s the odd one out here and everyone will think he’s weird for not thinking the music’s normal.] ...I’m probably weird for asking these stuff, huh?

Chinchou?

So yeah, I’ll be grateful for any answers!

[Is everyone from Tokyo or something?] The music's pretty normal. You'll get used to it soon enough, though it might be hard to get some sleep at first if you're not used to it.

[babel_hacker]

[Centre of the world, apparently.] I'll try, assuming I'm here for the long run. Sleep? Oh boy...

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

People make it sound like you'll be staying for a while, so it might be possible. Like I said, you'll get used to it.

[babel_hacker]

Even if I'm busy with something? [Like subjugating all demonkind.] Eheheh...do the music change into something softer at night, at least?

[Trying not to let his worry show, or finally freak out.]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

Yes, even if you're busy with something. [Poor kid.] Not really, but you could probably ignore it if you don't think about it.

[babel_hacker]

Great... [It's been a tiring week.] I'll try to do that.

[The other guy can hear a 'Chinchou?', because really, what's wrong, master?]

You actually died without your knowledge and this is purgatory that's filled with weird monsters. After all, they're only trying to make it less intimidating by filling it with monsters that you are familiar with.

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

I take it you had something important to do back home? [He then looks the pokémon.] I'm guessing that's your partner then.

Dude, I dunno where exactly "Johto" is, but it's not Japan or America. The music's real, you get used to it after a while like if you left a video game on, and nah, you're actually a step ahead of most people cuz you aren't asking about why you have a zapfish.

[[Just as a note as I'm not sure if you'd realized -- only first-gen game knowledge is OK'd in the rules, last I checked.]]

[Voice]

[babel_hacker]

People told me that, yeah. About the music, I mean...and I'm still wondering why I have this...Chinchou? [His COMP and demons are gone, and he got a non-talking fish with feet?]

(ooc: Minor edit! Just to be sure.)

[babel_hacker]

You could say that. [He looks at Chinchou.] Him? Yeah, since he keeps on following me around.

[ video ]

[babel_hacker]

Ahahahah...you're joking, right?

Re: [Voice]

[parkground-jay.livejournal.com]

Chinchou? Right, that's the name for 'em. We actually had some flooding recently that brought a lot of 'em out, so I just got used to calling 'em zapfish because that's what they do.

That's your starter pokémon. Everyone gets one.

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

Does he have a name? [He smiles at it.] He's kind of cute.

[ video | filter ]

[wantnotneed.livejournal.com]

Nope. [She even clicks on the filter.]

And anyone else trying to tell you otherwise is blissfully unaware.

[lonestarweeaboo.livejournal.com]

Did you say Tokyo?! You're from Japan, right?

[protectshikari.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're from Japan as well?

[... that face. that voice.]

[COULD IT BE? IS IT POSSIBLE? DOES THIS PLACE NOT TOTALLY SUCK AFTER ALL?]

[video] DONE!

[thebelsareinert]

Atsuro! Is that really you?

[skillspanner]

Better get used to the music, man. It never stops. [A small sigh.] It's not weird to ask this stuff. I'm pretty sure everyone does when they get here.

[petaldancings.livejournal.com]

[Did that guy just say Tokyo? That was a real place, right? Maybe she should've paid more attention in her studies...

against her better judgment, she decides to approach the boy. He seemed calm; he might know what's going on.]

Do you know where we are? [straightforward as ever.]

[Audio]

[foolishwren]

First question, no.

Second question, yes and you'll stop noticing it after you've been here awhile.

Third question, no, pretty much everybody asks both of those when they get here.

Anything else?

[babel_hacker]

Not yet...but I got some ideas. [Especially since he found out its typings. Chinchou give them a happy, eager smile.]
