[If he'd been holding anything right then, he'd have dropped it. So it's probably a good thing he isn't. Instead, he just stares at the screen, trying to process the information, trying to say an actual word instead of stunned silence.]

You're - [No, that's a sentence aborted immediately. Of course he's alive, he's talking, he's here. No one dies here.] Sorry, I - it's good to see you.

[You know, not super dead and all.]

[ Corrin can't stop himself from grinning wide when Camilla pats him on the head, the half-dragon not realising just how much he missed this sort of affection. It warmed him from the inside out.

The tiny equine noses at Camilla's hand, clearly taking a fond liking to her almost immediately.
]

Wow, she really seems to like you! Between you and me, that's quite rare! She doesn't usually... well. She's a bit sassy, let's just say, heh!

[ The ponyta gives Corrin a little glare and flicks her with his tail. ] Ow! Hey!

... Anyway, Camilla, it's so wonderful to see you. I've been here for a few months now, I was wondering if I would see anyone from home.

No. You've given me some things to think about.

Thank you for your time.

You're welcome. If you have other questions in the future, feel free to ask.

"I think so... He remembered being here when he came back."

Shrike never actually asked for details, but he feels pretty sure that if Sandalphon hadn't just gone home he would've said something. If only to complain about it.

"Uh, that's different from battling with Pokemon?"

Which would mean no, he hasn't heard of it.

"Do you know where he is now?" Radley asked.

He chuckled. "Yeah, way different. It's just a card game; no animals are really getting hurt. See?" Eevee climbed to his shoulder and he took out his deck, one of the few things he still had from home. He shuffled to a card called Ruby Carbuncle. "I've seen Pokemon that look a lot like this one. Espeon, they're called. Apparently my girl can potentially become one."

"Vee," Eevee mused. She wasn't in a mood to evolve and wasn't sure she ever would be. She liked herself as she was.

Violet City

Radley was walking by with his Eevee and paused to watch. This looked like another displaced person.

"Hi," he greeted. "Are you new here too?"
scalpelofmarmora: (behind him)

[personal profile] scalpelofmarmora 2022-02-19 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Ulaz nodded] I will be sure to ask him more about it when I am able to meet up with him. It does seem like something that is better to be told by the person involved.

[Also if he hadn't figured out who the other Blade that he had been talking to, he now knew]

You have been in this place for some time then?
scalpelofmarmora: (serious)

[personal profile] scalpelofmarmora 2022-02-19 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Precisely. Usually it is the slower ones that try harder to not to be seen. Evolution is not working as I would expect.

[Ulaz glanced over at Poochyena before looking back at Camilla]

I have been trying to see if there is one she will respond to. I don't know if we have found one yet. The current attempt is Foudre.

[No reaction]
scalpelofmarmora: (behind him)

[personal profile] scalpelofmarmora 2022-02-19 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
[He honestly wouldn't have heard something drop. He was fully aware of his own situation. He lowered Poochyena back down, the pokemon making a noise as though wondering why Ulaz had put her down]

I have a feeling what you were intending to say. I am surprised as well. I don't understand it.

[Not like he could have changed his mind at that point...]

It is good to see you as well.

"Not right now. He went out somewhere but I don't know where. Maybe he's busy with something?"

Sandalphon's been, well, out and about lately. Which is good! Except he hasn't exactly been stopping to tell Shrike where he's going and when to expect him back.

Shrike does, however, take a good look at the cards shown them.

"Oh, that one does look like a Pokémon! What kind of game is it?"

He has very limited knowledge of games in general, let alone card games.

"Well, maybe we can catch him later," Radley said.

"This is a battle card game. The animals fight and the strongest wins. But it's also strategic. You have to use magic and trap cards to make your attacks better and your defenses stronger." Radley showed some of his magic and trap cards. His focused a lot on destroying the opponents' cards.
fayblood: (hooded surprise)

[personal profile] fayblood 2022-02-19 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Shrike looks--well, he would look confused, if it were possible to see more of his face without the hood hanging over it.

"How do they fight if they're pictures on cards?"

He's never heard of anything like this before.
crystalmaster: (Default)

[personal profile] crystalmaster 2022-02-19 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
"Um ..." Radley is amused but confused. But then he supposes it would sound strange in a world where monsters are real.

"People pretend they're fighting," he said at last. "These numbers on the cards tell which one is stronger. You can make that number bigger with certain magic and trap cards."
fayblood: (hooded surprise)

[personal profile] fayblood 2022-02-19 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
It also sounds strange to a kid who has very little experience with any games that require more than one person to play. He does at least take a moment to think about that explanation, trying to make sense of things from the limited information he has.

"... So you want to have the one with a better set of numbers than someone else?"

That's basically how card games work, right? You try to get better cards than the other guy. Not that he knows what makes them better.

"Yeah, that's a good way to put it," Radley said. "The game has pretty much taken over life in my world, like how Pokemon are the lifeblood of this one. People can play the game professionally and make a lot of money. I'm in the mining industry and I own a mine with a valuable mineral that's used to make a special kind of motorcycle some people play the game on." He shook his head. "Personally, I think it's crazy to play a game while riding a motorcycle. But it sells. At least the motorcycles are usually on Auto Pilot when they play.

"Say, do you know if people can buy motorcycles here? I have a Harley-Davidson back home. I miss it."
fayblood: (hooded surprise)

[personal profile] fayblood 2022-02-19 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Um..."

Shrike mostly got what that first part was talking about, but he started losing track at 'motorcycle'. By the mention of 'auto pilot' however he's pretty lost, and it takes him a good moment to figure out what he's being asked.

"Those are the ones that look like really big bicycles, right?"

He only fairly recently learned what a bicycle is, but he's able to piece things together from the name.

"I don't know if you can buy them. Sandalphon found a store that sells bicycles in Goldenrod City, but I don't think most people have... vehicles."

Was that the right word? Is he remembering it right? Shrike's seen the big things with motors people ride in some of the cities on occasion, but he doesn't know a lot about them.

[personal profile] crystalmaster 2022-02-19 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, I guess you could say that," Radley said.

He sighed. "I figured about as much. I'm not really a bicycle person, but I'm not thrilled at the thought of walking everywhere either. Maybe I'll have to try the bicycle idea if I'm here for a while."
fayblood: (hooded neutral)

[personal profile] fayblood 2022-02-20 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh. Most places aren't very far to walk though."

Well, by his standards. Most people probably don't consider spending days walking between cities perfectly normal...
crystalmaster: (Default)

[personal profile] crystalmaster 2022-02-20 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah? Well, maybe I'll try it for a while. Maybe. I'm not used to sleeping out in the open either. Never was a fan of the idea of camping." Radley sighed, shaking his head. "Maybe I'll have to try the bike for a while, even though I think I'll look pretty silly riding one. It doesn't really fit my tough guy image, you know? How far is Goldenrod City?"
sonrise: (doubt)

[personal profile] sonrise 2022-02-20 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Varian looked up at the stranger with a strained smile. "I mean... Not the best one," he admitted. As he spoke, he leaned over, a hand going out towards Eevee for the Pokemon to sniff at, if it so chose.
sonrise: (look I can explain...)

[personal profile] sonrise 2022-02-20 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
I mean... Maybe they could, that's true.

But I'd rather see if I could do this, you know, without magic...
crystalmaster: (Default)

[personal profile] crystalmaster 2022-02-20 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
The Eevee leaned over, sniffed, and licked his hand.

Radley chuckled and petted her. "That's rough," he said as he sobered. "It seems like there's a lot to get used to around here. I'm Radley. I'm new in these parts."
sonrise: (aheheh)

[personal profile] sonrise 2022-02-20 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
That got Varian to truly smile, and he lightly tapped the Eevee's nose in response to that lick.

"My name's Varian. I didn't get here long ago, either... This place definitely isn't like anything I've ever seen or heard of before."
crystalmaster: (Default)

[personal profile] crystalmaster 2022-02-20 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
Radley smiled, happy that Eevee could cheer him up.

"Funny thing is, I've heard of this place, but I didn't know it was real," Radley said. "Where are you from? I'm from Satisfaction Town. It's a small Western town in the United States of America."
