[ When the video turns on, a blue Gardevoir's face is taking up half of the picture. She looks at the Gear curiously and rotates it a bit, then a voice can be heard from off screen. ]

Is it on now? Point it this way.

[ She looks up and after a moment the camera swings around to show Joshua sitting on a bed, hair and clothes messy as if he just woke up but otherwise cheerful enough. He waves at the camera. ]

Hee hee, hello everyone. Feels like I've been asleep forever. I don't suppose anyone else who caught that plague a while back is still suffering for it? This [ and he reaches up to twist that little curl of now-purple hair ] certainly hasn't gone away yet.

More importantly, it seems I'm still having some trouble handling my PokeGear. For the meantime, Gardevoir will have to be my cameraman. She doesn't quite know what she's doing yet. This is her learning experience. [ There's a soft "Gaaar..." of protest, but Joshua simply giggles, focusing off-camera for a moment. ] Unfortunately, you're the only one I have with hands.

Ah, yes. In the interest of discussion, how about telling me about something or someone that was important to you back home that you don't have here. I'm curious.

... You can turn it off now.

[ There's a sudden flurry of movement as Gardevoir puts the Gear down and leans over it, trying to figure out what to do. After a couple seconds Joshua's hair can be seen peeking into the frame. ]

That one. The one you used to start it.

[ Then the video ends. ]

(( OOC: so Gardevoir is going to be making mistakes here and there all over the replies. If you'd rather not have mistakes in your thread, just let me know. ))

[Having taught a few pokémon how to handle the gear, Lion can sympathize...]

I am sad, yes, but at the same time I'm glad that I got to meet them here.

I do my best to cherish the time we spent here together.

[ Why couldn't the interface designers have designed for Pokemon as well? It's so obvious. ]

How long were they here?

Some were here for a few months, and the one that was here the longest, stayed for about a year and a half.

And how long have you been here for?

It will be two years in January.

... That's quite a while. Do you want to go home at this point?

If I had a choice, I'd prefer to stay... I'm happy here, and to be sincere there isn't much for me to go back to.

... Are you returning to death?

[AWKWARD.]

I don't really know what happens when you go back if you were on one of those situations.

I certainly don't want to know either.

Presumably, you'd pick up where you'd left off. You'd leave here, and death would greet you back home.

That being why I have no interest in going back.

If it's any consolation, death isn't always the end in my world.

I still plan on making the best of the extra time I was given, so I refuse to dwell too much on it.

By going out on an exciting Pokemon adventure? Hee hee.

It sounds entertaining enough.

There are certainly worse ways to pass the time. But it's not as if you can take care of any regrets you may have left.

I can't say I have many regrets, so I guess I can deal with this.

Then you're lucky. Not many people die without lingering regrets.

I'm aware of that... I just refuse to let any regrets pull me down.

Such a thing is probably easier here, with very few ties to the world you lived in.

This is a choice that I took back in my world, however. Before the things that ended up with me being here happened.

And you were happier for it?
