Laszlo the Flesh Maestro | Original

[viscora]

Network | Voice

[ A painfully deep voice in the most Bela Lugosi Dracula-esque accent you've ever heard speaks up on the network. I don't care if translation microbes are a thing, the accent is also a thing.

Their tone is just a bit incensed, disgusted with the state of the world, and then they noticed there's a small slime dragon near them and that seems to be the ray of light in this isekai abyss. ]

Does anyone know what other insanity awaits me as long as I'm stuck here? I don't mean the wildlife - that can stay, but if anyone else tries to claim they're my mother I think I'm going to scream.

Also, if anyone wants to enlighten me as to how any of this happened, I'm more than receptive. I'm expecting some sort of Mage fuckery, but I'd love to be wrong.

Either way, I will get my revenge.

Cherrygrove, at a grocery store or something

[ A beautiful, androgynous figure in a raincoat and dress peers over the various fruits and veggies up for sale, looking at the berries with some measure of curiousity.

And then they have a devious little smile as they just start...throwing the berries into their cart, playing a weird, twisted sort of basketball with those little bastards.

This goes on for a while before the Goomy eats one, then looks at their trainer with a blank, innocent set of eyes, daring them to do something about it. ]

What is wrong with you?

Well, let's see... People here use that wildlife to battle each other, in matches that are surprisingly nonlethal, all things considered. There's ledges scattered throughout various routes that you can easily jump down, but are utterly impossible to climb up. Every few years ago a new region of the world and, with it, new such wildlife becomes known... and is treated as if it had existed all along. It's impossible to keep a sharp edge on anything, even a kitchen knife used strictly for cooking, for long. Magic from other worlds doesn't work here, and the locals will claim there's no such thing, even though there's little other explanation for the sheer power and other oddities the local wildlife possess.

Oh, and approximately twice a year things manage to become even stranger for a few days, if you can believe that.

Re: Voice

[viscora]

...why the ledges.

Re: Voice

[dreamsofahero]

That is quite possibly the greatest mystery of this world yet.

1/2

[viscora]

If it takes a thousand years, I will teach the ledges their place in this world.

2/2

[viscora]

Furthermore, I don't find anything else too surprising. If the small creatures are to do battle with each other, then monomachy it is.

[dreamsofahero]

Well, I should certainly hope neither you nor anyone else is stuck here that long...

And of course, you have to train them in order for them to become stronger at said battles. Collectively, they're known as Pokémon, though there are some hundreds of different kinds.

[viscora]

...hold on just a second.

Pokemon...like.

Pikachu?!

[ Look they're not entirely ignorant to pop culture, also their ghoul has some Pokemon stuff on her. ]

[dreamsofahero]

That is one of them, yes. You're familiar with them?

[viscora]

It's a video game for the kine children, so no, not by much.

Why does my ghoul love it.

[dreamsofahero]

Ah... Your what?

*leaving aside that first part, he can... mostly guess that from context, maybe*

[viscora]

A retainer. If I'm being technical she's not quite like others of her kind, but she's served me dutifully for years now.

[dreamsofahero]

I see.

Well, if your world has them in the form of a videogame, then I imagine you shouldn't have much trouble learning how that works here, at least.

*yeah, he's... really not going to touch the rest of what was said for now*

[The voice that replies to that deep voice is lighter, with a bit of a lilt to it—though it is definitely a male voice.]

Ah, yes, her. She claims that of everyone—the general assessment is that she suffers from some long term madness. I'd suspect faezress poisoning myself, were I on my home plane.

I have the same problem with that lady claiming to be my mother too. I think that she might have some memory issues which could explain why she thought she was my Mamá when she is not. Plus I tried to use my gift moments ago but I later discovered that it is nonexistent in here. As if this world doesn’t want us to use magic at will.

In other words, magic regardless of which world it comes from is rendered as useless in this place.
