Catalina | Tangled

[turningred]

[New Bark Town]

[Catalina has been in weirder situations than some crazy lady calling herself her "mom", but that doesn't make it any less weird. As she's pushed out of the house, clutching a red and white ball she doesn't know what to do with, she realizes two things:

1) This isn't the Treehouse
2) This isn't Corona??]

... Angry?

[She's either saying how she feels right now or is calling out to someone.]

Where... am I...

[She glances back at the ball in her hand - kind of a neat treasure, but she's not sure what to do with it?]

[Network]

[The technology in this world kind of blows her mind. You just... talk into this weird little book thing and other people can talk back? And they can see you? Are people seeing her right now? She gives an awkward little wave in case they are.]

Um... hi.

I'm looking for my sister. Short, black hair tied up like this. [She pulls up her own hair to make it look more like her sister's. She nearly drops her Pokegear doing this but manages to catch it.]

She has marks on her face like mine. Has anyone seen her?

And... this fox has been following me around for a while.

[She points the Pokegear at a Zorua who is currently leaning against her legs.]

[papacerberus]

[There is a very tall man in very strange clothes (there is an armored thong involved), standing near the house and looking around in pure confusion. He startles when Catalina comes out of the door, and then his brow furrows.]

You don't recognize this area either... I have a question, did that woman in there call herself 'mom'?

[He's holding a pack in one hand and there are Pokeballs visible through the open zipper.]

[turningred]

[Catalina holds the Pokeball closer to her chest. She’s not sure why - she doesn’t even know what’s valuable about it.]

Y-yeah… do you know her?

[papacerberus]

[Lupa cocks his head to the side and then lifts his pack enough to fish out his own pokeball.]

She referred to herself as 'Mom' to me as well, just a short while ago. I do not remember having a mother.

[He looks down at the pokeball in his hand for another moment longer.]

Do you know what this device is? It would seem we were both given them; they must have some importance.

[turningred]

Neither do I...

[She shakes her head "no", holding hers up for him to see.]

It looks like there's a button?

[papacerberus]

That is what it appears to be. I hadn't pressed it because I am unsure of what this device will do.

[Lupa takes a brief breath, carefully moves back, just in case it might be a grenade or something and presses the button! There's a flash of light! A bark! And the cutest Houndour puppy turns in Super Excited (™) circles, and then proceeds to try to chew on Lupa's boot.

Lupa is just completely startled and frozen in bewilderment, staring down at the puppy. Help.]

Network

[crystalmaster]

[Radley hasn't seen a newcomer in a while. He smiles kindly.]

Hi there. I'm afraid I haven't seen your sister. The fox, though, if it came out of a red-and-white ball, it's yours while you're here. These animals really are a lot of good company. I don't know what I'd do without mine.

[His four Eevees pop up at the bottom of the screen and warble greetings.]

[turningred]

[Oh that Eevee… is very cute!]

The fox is mine? So someone gave me a pet…?

[crystalmaster]

[All four Eevees chirp happily. Radley chuckles, petting the Eevees.]

Yeah, it's something like that. A lot of people use them to battle other animals, but I don't like to do that even though the animals seem to like it. They're called Pokemon. I think the fox you've got is a Zorua. It looks different than the ones I'm used to, but I think yours is the more common version.

[turningred]

[Battle other animals? That sounds... kind of strange? To do?]

The "Pokemon" like to battle each other?

[She looks down at the Zorua.]

Is that what you are? A Zorua?

[The Zorua yips happily.]

[crystalmaster]

Yeah. I don't really understand why. Maybe it's a game to them. Or maybe they like showing off their strength. Mine just like to protect me and defend my honor. People who want to battle seem to think you're pathetic if you don't battle with them.

[He smiles at the cute interaction with the Zorua. He wonders if these are as mischievous as the Hisuian ones.]

[artchery]

[Ignatz wasn't sure what to make of all this, but his own confusion and misgivings are set aside when he sees a child step out into town. By her question, she doesn't belong here either... And it just doesn't seem fair that one so young be ripped from their home as he's been.

He doesn't have a lot of experience with young children, mostly only interacting with any when he himself was a slightly older child... But if nothing else, he's figured out the Pokeball that seems to have her confused. In fact, the Flabebe he found inside hovers by his side now.]

Oh, um... Pardon me, I don't mean to be rude, but - Well, I am Ignatz Victor. [He bows a little at the waist.] And if I'm correct, you should find a creature in that ball, like this one.

[He gestures with one hand toward Flabebe, who gives a happy call and twirls in mid-air.]
