Feather 1 [Video]

[usedfeatherdance]

[ The feed clicks on to show one (1) ash-blond-haired teenaged boy grinning at the camera. ]

Good to know that it does work. [ He giggles, then actually addresses the (surely) eagerly-listening network. ]

Does anyone want to let me in on what's going on? I can't say that falling asleep then waking up in a different place is something I experience often, and when it is it's usually a certain someone's fault, but he doesn't seem to be around at the moment. So I suppose anyone who cares to answer this will have to do.

Did you wake up at that mom-lady's house too? She's real nice, isn't she?

[video]

[usedfeatherdance]

Yes. Real nice for someone who kicked me out and locked the door behind me.

I take it this isn't an uncommon occurrence?

[video]

[little_anchor]

[He laughs.] She does that to everybody!

[video]

[usedfeatherdance]

Hee hee, nice to know I'm not special. So everyone wakes up in the same location?

[video]

[little_anchor]

Uhh... maybe? I don't remember.

[video]

[usedfeatherdance]

And why don't you remember?

[shiromadoushi]

[[well that was an eerily familiar thing to have said.]]

You've sort of been pulled into a world like a video game, as fantastic as it sounds.

[usedfeatherdance]

[ ... So, he wasn't just imagining that 4th wall over there. Also someone else referring to it as a different world than his own.]

Those aren't exactly words I'd expect to hear. Care to elaborate?

Also, video, whoops.

[shiromadoushi]

Aa-- I don't really know the details too much, but... There's a game that a lot of people had where they came from that this world is just like, and there are a lot of people from a lot of different places who all arrived the same way, either in New Bark or at the hard mode start past the Ice Path.

I suppose that means I'm playing the easy version. Just how many people is "a lot"?

[shiromadoushi]

[[a moment as he ponders it]] I think at least a hundred, if not more. I haven't really counted. [[admits a bit sheepishly]]

[usedfeatherdance]

Over a hundred? How did we all get here?

[voice] s-spoilers in this thread

[.......................

........................

Oh. That face. That voice. That damn giggle.

There are so many FEELINGS.

Neku stares down at his PokéGear for a long moment, so very conflicted right now. He may have gone over in his head before what he would have said to Joshua if he ever saw him again, but he just sorta blanks now that he's being given that opportunity. And of course it has to be in this situation. Ugh. Whatever.

Neku clicks on his end of the feed, just opting for voice.]

Apparently you're a Pokémon trainer now.

[voice] 1/2

[usedfeatherdance]

[ Oh. Oh, you're here, too. You are someone Joshua was expecting never to have contact with again. He is not entirely sure how he feels about this. ]

[voice]

[usedfeatherdance]

[ But he can deal with this. For now, let's at least act like nothing is out of the ordinary. ]

I am? Oh, goodie. I so did miss being four years old.

[voice]

[beginswithme]

At least you're entertained.

[voice]

[usedfeatherdance]

And you're not? Let me guess. You're also a trainer now, and you started with a Caterpie. [ He giggles. ]

[voice]

[beginswithme]

...

[Give me a break. You're acting entirely way too cool about this. All of this.] Against my will and no.

[voice]

[usedfeatherdance]

[ The kid who claimed to have inserted himself into the game of death because life was boring and by the way has gone worldhopping before is acting too cool about getting to play Pokemon in real life? ]

Hmm. Weedle?

[video]

[groovethread]

You make it sound like you weren't expecting it to.

[video]

[usedfeatherdance]

[ ... Oh boy, both of you. Now we just need Daisukenojo and everyone who knows and he never would have talked to again will be here. ]

Considering I'm not familiar with it, I'd say I have the right to be suspicious. [ He giggles. ]

[video]

[groovethread]

And here I'd think the little cutesy monsters would tip you off first.

[video]

[usedfeatherdance]

I don't quite see what's "little" about this. [ And he turns the camera to show the nearly-4-foot-tall-when-standing Absol lying curled up on the ground next to him. ]

And I certainly don't recall there being cellphones in Pokemon.

[video]

[groovethread]

[Okay you know what? Everything she was going to say went out the window.]

Why is yours so huge?

[video]

[usedfeatherdance]

[ The louder voice, combined with the PokeGear being pointed towards Absol makes the Pokemon lift his head and glance towards Joshua. Not seeing anything worth paying attention to, he puts his head back down just as Joshua refocuses the camera on himself. ]

Who knows? Maybe it just suits me.
