[1] New Bark Town

[ Yuzu's memories are a bit jumbled when she wakes up, but it only takes a few seconds for her to realize that this isn't her room.

Before she can even try to sort through what she remembers (let's see... Yuya had been dueling... and she was pretty sure she was coming back... but everything just cuts off there), a lady she's never met before pokes her head into the room and tells her she needs to head out?

Huh?

She tries to ask some questions, but she's suddenly made aware of the Eevee strange ball of fluff that was in the bed with her, and promptly shoved out the door with her new friend and a bag she has also never seen before. ]


H-Hey! Wait!

[ Well... that's one way to start a morning.

In any case, the Eevee is definitely attached to her... and it is pretty adorable. Well, there are a lot of things in this bag... including a guide?

Well that's helpful. ]


Pokemon, huh?

[ Well... it looks like she isn't anywhere close to home... what is with her and constantly ending up in other dimensions!? Or whatever this place is!

As much as she just wants to go home... it doesn't look like there's a readily-available option for that. She's not exactly pleased about that... but at the very least, the Eevee that's found a comfortable spot on her lap while she sits down seems... happy. ]


New Bark Town... Trainers... Battling... what kind of place is this...?

[2] Cherrygrove City

[ She did ask around, and everyone told her the same thing each time she asked... but still, to think that she'd actually have to trek her way to get out of here and actually explore!

Well, 'Mom' did provide a good amount of survival equipment... but still, even though Yuzu was on the athletic side... ]


Th... three days... they really just let kids my age... do stuff like this...?

[ Three days of wilderness is... not something she was prepared for. She expected that at most it would only take a day, but three!?

At the very least, those three days let her get used to this world a little more. Battling was... new, but it wasn't too different from Dueling (at least, she was trying to think of it that way). The Pokegear was definitely also helpful, since apparently the fluffball Pokemon she started out with is an "Eevee".

In any case, she was a bit unsure about sending out this adorable fluffball to fight... but it actually seemed to enjoy it a lot!

Well, she did eventually make it, though those three days were incredibly rough on her. She appreciated "Mom's" bento box and the trail mix... but it wasn't nearly enough to last three days! She found a few berries but she was still hungry!

She ended up having to find places to sleep that were obscure, but not too far from the path, and kept her covered up more than what her sleeping bag offered. She was tired, sweaty, and in desperate need of a shower. Eevee did help in cheering her up, but still...

Well, after a quick stop at the Pokecenter... you have no idea how happy she was to find an Inn with a spa of all things. So, of course, she heads there! It's nice and affordable, especially with the winnings she gathered on her way here.

After the full course (mud bath, massage, aromatherapy, and so forth), she's already feeling better about he fact that this is only one of her waypoints, and that she has even more traveling to deal with. Of course, she still buys as much as she can for the road.

As she prepares for the next trek, she wonders how everyone is doing back home. She's still not quite sure what happened after everything... her memory is just too fuzzy.

...well, in any case, Eevee gives her a reassuring purr from on top of her head. She's currently sitting on a bench, looking through her bag to make sure she has everything. ]


[3] Network!

HOW

HOW DO THESE THINGS WORK


[ Someone just used Eevee's pokeball for the first time. Yes, the guide mentioned this, but it seemed so ridiculous that she didn't believe it. Lesson learned, she supposes. ]

How the heck does a living creature just get sucked into a ball!? How do I get them out!!

Never mind I pressed the button and my Eevee came back

What the heck is this

i. network
I am in need of assistance regarding a small, dog-like animal. Its fur is a deep orange, with black stripes throughout its coat. Its mane is beige. It has attached itself to me since I have arrived here, and although I have been caring for it, I am concerned that it may belong to someone else.

Additionally, from what I understand, automobiles and spacecraft are a rarity on this planet, although communal transportation such as trains and boats are still in existence. I have also observed several people use their own pets to ferry themselves over long distances. Tell me which creature is the fastest and most reliable in which to tame for the purposes of transportation.
ii. moomoo farm
[It is strange how an otherwise common color can seem so foreign to one's eyes. There is the metallic, emerald shine of the Ruby 7. There is the bright, neon green found in the lights of a ship's geiger counter, warning pilots to steer away from radiation. But the lush green found in living plants is a rarity in the solar system. After Earth had lost its former splendor, only the rich found it within themselves to put this much time and effort into caring for something so elaborate, something that would never understand the labor needed to allow it to thrive.

The man in the brown jacket sits in a field, surrounded by grass and weeds and other unidentified plant life. He never thought that he would exist in a place where this much green was taken for granted--though, this is something he does not mind. He observes the Miltank and Tauros grazing on the horizon, and he is at peace.

He has been sitting here for some amount of time. Curled up in his lap is a sleeping Growlithe. Its chest slowly rises and falls as it burrows itself into the crook of his leg. His bag has been placed a few feet away, just out of reach.

He considers getting up. The Growlithe snores. Without turning his head, the man speaks.]


I would appreciate if you could hand me my belongings.

[He inclines his head towards the Growlithe. Anybody would understand that, under these circumstances, it would be unwise (and perhaps even cruel) to get up and disturb this creature from its slumber.]
iii. on the road
[There seems to be an argument occurring between two trainers out on one of the routes. The first trainer, tall man in a brown jacket, has his wallet out. The other trainer, a Bug Catcher, by the looks of it, seems aghast at this flagrant violation of standard trainer etiquette, but no matter how much they sputter and explain that their opponent had won the battle fair and square, the man refuses. At no point in time does he ever phrase his words like a request.]

You will not pay me. I will pay you.

[The Bug Catcher shakes his head, looking utterly bewildered. The man does not seem to be interested in further debate.]

That was a commendable battle, and your efforts should not go unrecognized. Therefore, I will pay you.

[Perhaps you should intervene--it doesn't seem like this man will give up in his efforts any time soon....]

Uenoyama Ritsuka | Given | OTA

[personal profile] asummerstory 2021-03-02 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
A- TEXT POST

Uh, hi... Uenoyama Ritsuka here...

So I'm pretty new at this, but I gotta ask...


[There's a picture of a Galarian Meowth just chilling, gremlining its way through a few Poké Puffs.]

Are we really not... Meant to groom or trim this thing's hair, at all? I know some of his body is literally iron, but...

B- VIDEO POST

[Uenoyama is what looks like a music store, going by the ammount of guitars on the wall. While he's fiddling with the settings of an amp, his Meowth briefly turns the camera to himself to wave at the viewers before turning it back to his trainer. Once Uenoyama is satisfied, he stands up, takes a deep breath and begins playing a certain tune (minus the drum and the bass, obviously). It's fairly short, doesn't go on for much longer than a minute, but it leaves an impression.

Once he's done, he contemplates the guitar for a moment before taking the camera back from Meowth.]


I'm not sure they really feel right... Maybe I just miss mine back home.

But how did it sound on your end?

B (but also A because Felix can't not comment on cats lol)

[personal profile] bestswordmaster 2021-03-03 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
It sounded good to me. But my world doesn't have instruments like that, so I have nothing to compare it to.

I also saw your written message.

[He turns his own camera to show a Perrserker chasing a couple of Eevees around a hotel room. Its fur is equally wild.]

That's the evolved form of the cat you have. Her fur has been like that since I got her. Grooming and trimming does nothing. I've tried.

Re: B (but also A because Felix can't not comment on cats lol)

[personal profile] asummerstory 2021-03-03 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah... So that's how it is.

[Yeah, he's all about the cats right now, because that's one hell of a fur situation.]

That's... Not actually a helmet, is it? It's fur.
forsaintcecilia: (too cute)

[personal profile] forsaintcecilia 2021-03-03 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Woah...

[There's something so impossibly cool about the electric guitar! Ritsuka has a captive audience for as long as he plays. Was he improvising? That took a lot of skill!]

The sound was great! That's a good quality model you've got there. The amp sounds good too. But your muscle memory might've been a little confused if you're used to the touch of a different guitar.
asummerstory: (02)

[personal profile] asummerstory 2021-03-03 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Now that Kazuki mentions it...]

True, that could be it... Couldn't exactly expect another world's guitars to be just like the ones back home, I guess.

[But he really does miss his old Stratocaster.]

I'm glad the sound is good, though. This is probably the best I've tried of the ones I can afford right now.
forsaintcecilia: (I has a trumpet)

[personal profile] forsaintcecilia 2021-03-03 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
That one probably has fresh strings too. Are they a little harder to bend?

[That a question because he doesn't play a stringed instrument. Any advice he can give is anecdotal at best.]
asummerstory: (08)

[personal profile] asummerstory 2021-03-03 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Not particularly? I mean, guitar strings are harder to bend than most people can think when they first try, I guess, but once you get the strength for it, whether they're fresh or not isn't too important.

[Did he struggle with them when he first started? He can't remember... Nor does he remember Mafuyu complaining when he was teaching him, now that he thinks about it. Huh.]
forsaintcecilia: (eep)

[personal profile] forsaintcecilia 2021-03-03 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure I've held a guitar before, but I can't really remember what it was like. I'm more familiar with orchestral instruments like violins and cellos... Which don't have frets, so it's probably different.
bestswordmaster: (postskip ha)

[personal profile] bestswordmaster 2021-03-03 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
It's... [Felix sighs, resigned to this ridiculous truth, and confirms:] It's fur.

Even the cats that aren't made of steel are all at least a little strange. And most of them can learn to generate money.
asummerstory: (05)

[personal profile] asummerstory 2021-03-03 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah. My band's drummer back in my home world also plays the violin. I only saw it once, but I could tell it was different just from sight alone. Just needing the bow...
asummerstory: (04)

[personal profile] asummerstory 2021-03-03 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[... Felix, you'll have to give him a moment, because you kind of broke his brain a little.]

... I'm sorry, they can do what now? How?
forsaintcecilia: (wry)

[personal profile] forsaintcecilia 2021-03-03 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
They're really fussy. It requires such a precise touch... When a violinist can make their notes sound really distinct and on tune, I get so impressed. My fingers just slide all over the place.
bestswordmaster: (postskip wtf)

[personal profile] bestswordmaster 2021-03-03 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Generate money. I have no idea how. It's as inexplicable as anything else in this bizarre world. They learn a particular battle technique, and it just. Creates money. And for some reason, cats are more inclined to it than any other Pokemon I've seen.

[A pause.]

I have a lot of cats.
asummerstory: (11)

[personal profile] asummerstory 2021-03-03 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Right? I never tried to play it, but it's really super cool!
forsaintcecilia: (excuse me what are you doing)

[personal profile] forsaintcecilia 2021-03-03 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
The last time I tried, it was when we did a "play the instrument of the person sitting behind you" exercise in the orchestra I was working with, and it was... A moment.

[Of true cacophony.]
asummerstory: (03)

[personal profile] asummerstory 2021-03-03 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
That's... A really weird side effect of an attack...

[Like... As someone that has a few part time jobs to get money for his music stuff it's appealing, but...]

Useful, but... Wait. How many cats do you have?
asummerstory: (04)

[personal profile] asummerstory 2021-03-03 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[He... He can imagine. The pure mess.]

Why is that...? Does that ever work out?
forsaintcecilia: (333)

[personal profile] forsaintcecilia 2021-03-03 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
It was a team building exercise. To build some empathy for people playing other instruments, I guess. It worked pretty well on me.
asummerstory: (08)

[personal profile] asummerstory 2021-03-03 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh... I guess that's... One way to do it when you have that many people.
bestswordmaster: (postskip contemplative)

[personal profile] bestswordmaster 2021-03-03 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Eight, but only four of them know the technique. Those small, sort of cat-like fox creatures and their evolutions can also learn it, though. I have five of those.
forsaintcecilia: (adult 3)

[personal profile] forsaintcecilia 2021-03-03 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you've tried to play your bandmate's instruments, right?

Garrett | Thief

[personal profile] itsjustrats 2021-03-04 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
New Bark

[Garrett is not having a good day.

First, he wakes up in a strange place, with no memory of how he got there and none of his gear. Second, a strange and possibly crazy woman starts talking nonsense to him and shoves him out the door without so much as an explanation. And third, there's this haunted keyring that will not. leave. him. alone.

He swats at it like it's an oversized fly, but despite how many times he knocks it away, it just keeps buzzing back and trying to nuzzle his face. Annoying.

Anyone milling about New Bark Town will undoubtedly notice this sketchy renaissance faire-looking dude (much to his irritation), as he definitely looks like he doesn't belong here.]


Ruins of Alph

[There's been a distinct lack of mansions on Garrett's travels so far, but ruins are right up his alley, too. It looks to be a kind of tourist attraction, so he's not expecting to find many undiscovered riches, but who knows, maybe he'll get lucky.

As he approaches, something in his bag starts to emit a strange noise. He produces the strange device (what was it called again? a poke gear? something like that.) and frowns as it continues to hiss and whine.]


Is everything haunted here?

[The keyring that won't stop following him jingles happily in response.]
robbedfromthecradle: (I can hear you breathing.)

ruins of alph

[personal profile] robbedfromthecradle 2021-03-04 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Um... I think this place, more than the others.

[Depending on just what Garrett has been up to lately, that voice might be rather familiar, and definitely not encourage him about things being haunted.]

[At least it's not very hard to find where the speaker is. Lauryl has settled herself on top of a small ruined wall, still wearing a simple drab tunic. The back of her feet bump against the wall as she swings them, with her arms wrapped tight around the backpack she was given her.]

[Not a shadow, not a ball of light, not a girl with glowing pale skin. Just a regularly little girl, although still a little pale, like she hasn't seen the sun in a very long time.]

[From around her peers something... a little bit eerier, the Phantump's wooden head already strange as it is before one sees its shadowy body. There's a distinct nervousness at seeing Garrett.]

[Lauryl just seems a bit awkward and shy, but not scared, exactly. She knows who to be scared of, and it's not this man.]


I remember you.
