Trainer#5655403: A VIDEO GAME? THAT WOULD BE RATHER IMPROBABLE, I SUSPECT.
Trainer#5655403: NOT IMPOSSIBLE, AS THE REALM OF POSSIBILITIES IS VAST AND LARGELY UNKNOWN.
Trainer#5655403: VIDEO GAMES, SUCH AS PONG AND TETRIS, ARE MERELY SOUNDS AND IMAGES COMPRISED OF DATA AND STRINGS OF CODE.
Trainer#5655403: THERE IS SEEMINGLY NO PROBABLE WAY WITH THE TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE TO US THAT LIVING BEINGS COULD BE FOUND WITHIN THE CONFINES OF A VIDEO GAME.
Trainer#5655403: THE INFORMATION PROCESSED IN THE HUMAN BRAIN WOULD TAKE UP AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF SPACE, LET ALONE TWO HUMANS CONVERSING.
Trainer#5655403: WHILE IT IS TRUE THAT THE HUMAN BODY RUNS ON ELECTRICAL SIGNALS, I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE BIOLOGICAL NATURE OF OUR ELECTRICAL IMPULSES WOULD BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE RUDIMENTARY TECHNOLOGY FOUND WITHIN A PONG MACHINE.
Trainer#5655403: THOUGH PERHAPS I AM UNINFORMED AND OUTDATED. WHAT EVIDENCE DO YOU HAVE TO SUGGEST THAT WE ARE CONTAINED WITHIN THE WALLS OF PROGRAMMING?

[The Professor is obviously quite oblivious to the irony of this situation. Bless him.]

Is that his name? How wonderful. [ She smiles, tipping her head to the side after clapping her hands together. The weedle is now laying on her lap, seemingly fast asleep. ] I'm very new to all these sweet creatures!

A: Goldenrod City

[Flug is... very lost.

It's obvious at first glance - he's a lanky twig of a man whose knees are buckling at the surrounding crowds and unfamiliar creatures. And quite frankly, he sticks out like a sore thumb, head entirely covered by a large paper bag. A pair of metal goggles are strapped over it, lit up with artificial pupils that dart about, looking at everything. He's fumbling around in a lab coat, seeming more and more agitated as he outturns empty pockets.]

Ayyy, not even the-- where are all my tools?! Did I leave them in my other coat? Or Demencia's taken my things. Again.

[He still doesn't even know what to do with everything they gave him. If he could find his screwdriver, he'd check out the... the ball, whatever they'd called it. He continues to mumble to himself, occasionally making High Noises of Distress. He could probably use a hand...]

B. Network, Video

[The video opens on a blank, makeshift 'desk' formed by stacked boxes in front of a chair, in front of an open wall. There's a piece of paper, folded in half, forming a name tag. The name is utter chicken scratch, but the word 'Dr.' can barely be made out if you squint just right. Eventually, a familiar bagged head cuts into view, artificial gaze squinting as he adjusts the camera, before seeming satisfied and stepping back to his 'desk'.]

I swear, is it too much to want to find a decent cameraman? The conditions I have to deal with! [He clears his throat once he's seated.] Good afternoon, everyone. This is Dr. Flug, feeling...

[He... frowns? It's hard to tell without being able to see in his mouth, but the goggles seem built to be fairly expressive. It's definitely a troubled look, which doesn't match the words that come out of his mouth.]

... well-rested? It's strange. I haven't had any access to my cryo-bed since arriving here, yet I've had the best sleep of my life! Not a single nightmare! Is this some kind of natural effect of the world? Ha - simply too good to be true! It sure would be nice, though, to do some research. Figure out how to bring these circumstances back home and -- ah, nonono, I'm filming.

[A blurry pink and purple shape is what he seems to be chiding, as it hovers close to the camera, putting it out of focus. There's the sounds of boxes sliding around before he's back up close grabbing it.]

You're such a little troublemaker! Why don't you go lay back down in your bed? [He looks back down at the camera, cradling the creature close.] Sorry about them! Feel free to get back to me if you know anything else about this.

[Radley chuckles.]

I have to admit, I didn't know Weedles could be that affectionate. That's nice. This world really is full of cute animals.

[Radley is taking a walk with his two Eevees when they see the odd person. Radley isn't at all sure what to make of the paper bag set-up. Is he tremendously shy? He'll only draw more attention to himself. Radley decides, as he usually does, to go over.]

Hi there. Need some help?

Re: Network

[personal profile] crystalmaster 2022-04-02 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
Well, the fact that this world is a video game where I'm from, or something similar, at least. Not these specific cities, but others, and many of the creatures. And the fact that music is playing at all hours of the day and night, like in a video game.

... But I really hope I'm wrong. Your logical reasoning is encouraging.

[She's curious about the emblem, but she definitely wouldn't recognize it.]

Oh, that's an easy one! I'm Mirabel Madrigal, I'm here with my sister, Luisa Madrigal.

[personal profile] manabiki 2022-04-02 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
I believe all creatures and people can be affectionate and good if given the opportunity! [ Her smile is pressed, but still ever radiant. She wishes she believed the words she's spoken, especially after the Kamado children, after seeing them fight; but still, her mouth is ash. At least here, so far, there are no demons. ] Kindness and friendship can transcend any boundary!
crystalmaster: (Default)

[personal profile] crystalmaster 2022-04-02 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
It's a nice way to look at the world.

[Radley smiles a bit but looks rather melancholy now. After the evil he witnessed back home, he's afraid he feels that some people can never be good, nor would they want to be. Still, he has seen friendship transcend at least some boundaries.]

[The man jumps nearly a foot in the air, flailing for a moment with a noise akin to a squeak. He clearly wasn't expecting to be approached, and appraises the stranger for a moment before haphazardly gesturing to the General All of himself.]

I seem to have misplaced my... everything? All I have are these... things someone gave me, and -- where is that music even coming from?!

[His thoughts cut off in frustration, looking around for a source, before becoming exasperated and returning attention to his helper.] I'm missing SEVERAL very important things, I swear I had them all on me before I arrived here, wherever 'here' is.

[The Professor quickly jots that down, along with some other precursor notes about Mirabel.]

Thank you, I do appreciate your willingness to share your information with me. I do promise it is not of ill will that I write this down. I have a habit of keeping track of my findings. You see, while I am a professor of archeology at Gressenheller University, I do also spend much of my time helping the police with rather difficult cases.
[He's not a creep, he promises.]

Now, getting to my question: Do you know anything about those who have suddenly arrived here? I myself just arrived from London, England.
gentlemanlayton: (hmmm)

Trainer#5655403: YES, I WAS WONDERING ABOUT THE MUSIC. I SUPPOSED IT WAS JUST DUE TO A MALFUNCTION WITH MY RADIO, BUT AS IT APPEARS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HEARS THIS THERE MUST BE ANOTHER EXPLANATION.
Trainer#5655403: LOGIC CAN ONLY GO SO FAR IN AN ILLOGICAL SITUATION. ONCE AGAIN, IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE THAT WE HAVE BEEN SOMEHOW TRANSPORTED TO ANOTHER WORLD. JUST HIGHLY UNLIKELY.
Trainer#5655403: IF YOU HAVE THE TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO MEET WITH YOU IN PERSON SO THAT I MAY BETTER ASK YOU QUESTIONS. I FIND TEXT TO BE RATHER LIMITING.

[From the looks of the video feed, the Professor has gotten himself cozy in a Pokécenter somewhere.]

While I do agree that the world here feels marginally different from the one I came from, I do not suspect that there is something in the air that is helping you sleep. Perhaps it is simply the change in location that has aided your nightmares? What, if any, are your findings on the subject?

[Oh! A fellow scholar. Flugs settled back onto his 'desk', petting his Munna, camera closer. He looks thoughtful to the response.]

... while my current situation is certainly less... [He puts his fingers up into air quotations] "High Pressure" than back home, if that was all it took to solve my problem, I certainly would have managed it in the last ten or so years. Though let's see...

[He's mumbling, half to himself, half to Layton as he pulls up a piece of paper, writing out his thoughts.] My sleep routine has mildly changed. I'm certainly getting more time for it, even if I don't actually spend that time sleeping. My stressors haven't decreased though - I'm still incredibly concerned with how my Boss is going to take my prolonged absence. [He pauses to shudder, before shaking it off rather literally with a wince.] Ah -- sorry. Other than that, the only other difference I can think of is that this one has a habit of escaping during the night. [He gives a more affectionate, deep scritching to the Munna.] Meaning I'm woken by them fairly often once they get bored of... whatever it is they get up to, and come to nudge me at odd hours in the morning.

Sure, I'd be happy to meet. Where are you now? I can probably use Warp Pads to get to you. They only work for places you've already been, though.
crystalmaster: (Default)

[personal profile] crystalmaster 2022-04-02 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Radley sighs sympathetically.]

No one can figure out the music thing. As for your stuff, most of it doesn't come with you when you end up here. Although ... I was thinking pocket items usually came....

[He still has his deck, for one thing.]
vidrio_de_oscuro: (Judging You)

[personal profile] vidrio_de_oscuro 2022-04-02 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Well of course Id be the exception to that.

[He sighs bitterly, giving up his search for the most part, pulling out the ball instead.] Is there some place these things go? I had some very dangerous devices, and I'm not responsible for the damage they cause while I don't have an eye on who does what with them! [He seems more bothered with the idea of not having them than he does that second statement, still absent-mindedly patting at his pockets, as though he might have missed it, while looking over the object before presenting it to the stranger.] ... any chance you know anything about this as well? [Is this a common occurrence, what's happened? He seems to at least be calming down and adapting, now that he has some help.]
crystalmaster: (Default)

[personal profile] crystalmaster 2022-04-02 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure where they go. Maybe they just stay home.

[Radley looks at the Pokeball.]

Yeah, this is standard for everyone here. There's a new friend for you inside.

[He gestures at his Eevees.]

Maybe it'll look like these cuties, or maybe it'll be something else. There's several hundred possible animals that might be in there. You can also use empty Pokeballs to catch more of them. They're not just good companions, but really helpful in this world. They also often like to battle each other. You can get money by winning battles against other people who have them.

[personal profile] vidrio_de_oscuro 2022-04-02 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
... that's a worse thought. [Demencia, free at home to use all his inventions? Hes shivers just thinking about it.

The man's next words drag his attention back, though. He looks to the creatures accompanying him - this. Really seemed like the common species here. Animal-like but just a little off. He blinks, looking more and more intrigued with every point.]

... fascinating. This is common, then? Fighting them against each other? [He sounded skeptical. The things in front of him could give 505 a run for his money in cuteness.] ... not with these ones, right? I'm sure they make adorable lap animals.
crystalmaster: (Default)

[personal profile] crystalmaster 2022-04-02 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
It is, although I'm not crazy about it. These two can fight if they have to, but I prefer them being mostly pets.

[He grins.]

They are great lap animals, yeah.
gentlemanlayton: (thinking)

[personal profile] gentlemanlayton 2022-04-02 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Judging from the twitchy nature of this individual, and the mention of the cryochamber and nightmares, it seems that insomnia usually plagues this individual. Layton strokes his chin in thought, staring at the Munna that has appeared on screen. He's not familiar with the creature, so he nonchalantly pulls out his Pokédex in order to gain more information. After a couple of seconds of reading, a smile lights up upon his face.]

... Dr. Flug, have you perhaps looked at your Pokédex lately?
vidrio_de_oscuro: (I Cannot Explain)

ACTION

[personal profile] vidrio_de_oscuro 2022-04-03 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Listen. Professor Layton seems like a very nice man. But there's several circumstances at play here.

Flug has been rather intently exploring everything he can, wandering the routes outward from Goldenrod City. And when he's focused on a task and suddenly sees a tall top hat coming for him...

He startles more than a man reasonably should at such a polite approach, giving a strangled screech before nearly tripping over himself to stand to attention. Almost immediately, he knows he's overreacted once he sees the frankly gentle face in front of him.]

Ayyyyy-yyyyess?? [He's shaking and sweating. A lot. He straightens out his goggles, trying to even out his breathing, not yet returning the shake, both hands braced close.] S-Sorry! I don't know how much I could help, I'm still --

[He struggles for a response that could justify... all of that.]
vidrio_de_oscuro: (Paperwork)

[personal profile] vidrio_de_oscuro 2022-04-03 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
... ah? I havent felt the need to, no. [He seems onto something, though, Flug disappearing from view to sort through his things looking for it. Amid the shuffling, he continues talking to Layton.] Honestly, I keep forgoing looking at the thing, it feels demeaning to look at someone else's notes to solve a mystery. You know what I mean?
gentlemanlayton: (hmmm)

[personal profile] gentlemanlayton 2022-04-03 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
No, frankly, I don't.

[The professor cocks a brow, watching as Dr. Flug attempts to piece his life together live on camera.]

When you are solving a puzzle, you need all of the pieces. If I have my pieces, and you have yours... if we only kept to what we had, we would never solve the puzzle. And if we merely attempted to create our own pieces to make up for what we were lacking, it wouldn't be the original solution, now would it?
vidrio_de_oscuro: (Oh...)

[personal profile] vidrio_de_oscuro 2022-04-03 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[That made sense to him. Though he was curious how it was still so big, they couldn't all be this cute, right? He puts attention back on the ball, fumbling a bit to figure out how it works, until--

He cant help the noise of surprise at the noise it makes when it finally does work, and sure enough, there it was. His own creature!

... this was not disproving his initial impressions. He forgets Radley entirely for a moment, dropping down to look closer at the Munna.]

Well you're no better than them, are you?? [Said with an absolute incredulity. Was it too late to ask for a different one...?]
