Mr. Strider, I have a request for your attention? Lil Sebastian has ... well, I can't really say he's gone missing, but I'm a bit confused. You said he had a stuffed rabbit beneath his exoskeleton, and now he seems to be wearing it on the outside. Was that some sort of "blending in to get the tactical advantage" setting I don't know about? It's bad enough that I still have to repair Poppop when I "return home", but I don't think Dad will take to a sunglasses wearing critter running about; at least with his more robot-looking appearance, I could have him hold still and pretend to just be a toy you sent.

Honestly, this entire little charade going on around me is nothing short of eyebrow-raising. I can't really have been transported somewhere when all that's happened is Lil Seb looking ready to drop the fridge; I haven't even had the opportunity to get my game yet!

[There's at least a good four minutes before the next text shows up.]

This isn't some ironic test to make me less skeptical about what I'm hearing and seeing, is it? Or is this suddenly one of the occasions where I'm being caught by a giant, squishy, foam butt and have yet to wake up from the weird dreams?

[Skeptic forever.] Well, it's not so much preferable as I'm not sure how I got here in the first place. Nothing all that special was happening, that I last remember?

[ Hmm. Aradia's considering it, but she's. been through too much to be a skeptic, not that she ever exactly was. ]

I suppose something special was happening for me, but nothing that would cause me to be trapped in a human game, which Roxy and several others have assured me Pokemon is! And there does not appear to be any particular reason for our arrival here, which is strange...

Oh! What companion did you receive? My own companion is - come here, yes, here. [ Gastly bobs over to peer at the screen. Hey there. ] This is my companion! He is a gastly.

What.

[Hold up Jake. She's still baffled by POKEMONLAND, and you're telling her about her Poppop being here and then several names that sound familiar and what what whatwhatwaht?]

Jade harley is my grandma but around our age.
Dave is dirks brother and rose is roxys mom but the same situation with jade.
And uh a little bit of an added twist but i think ill tell you when youre not completely bamboozled by whats going on at the moment.

Yes, it is most definitely a human game. [Oh, don't mind her idly fussing with the fake mustache on her upper lip, somewhat unable to help staring at the Gastly. She remembers these.]

I... suppose my companion is something that has a startling resemblance to a gift I was given, if he truly isn't the same being in a disguise mode. [Looking about for a moment, the feed is turned then to show a Buneary standing nearby with both of his ears rolled in, and some snazzy pointed sunglasses.]

I'm not really sure where he got those sunglasses, if he didn't arrive with me. The professor was nice enough to let us explore the lab while he explained things, but I doubt he had any reason to have shades like those.

Wow, that's.
Goodness.
Yes, I think I need just a little time to sink all this in.
It's just a bit hard to accept right off the bat.

Your pokegear, which you are utilizing to speak with me currently, should also have a pokedex function! You can use that to identify what sort of pokebeast you have been entrusted with, as well as his or her gender!

[ Helpful helping help. Right? ]

I'm not sure where he would have gotten the sunglasses. Perhaps he borrowed them?

No problem!
Its a lot to take in all at once.
Would you like to change the topic for the moment then?

[The most helpful of living guides! Sucking in the corner of her lip in thought as she looks over the device, Jane presses a few buttons until it beeps in annoyance. No, she can't make a call when she has no numbers registered! Eventually, she finds the Pokedex function and the gear speaks a little too loudly through the microphone.]

Buneary, the Rabbit Pokemon. Its ears are always rolled up. They can be forcefully extended to shatter even a large boulder.

[ Ooooh. This isn't a pokemon Aradia was previously familiar with, so she listens into that with interest. ]

There seem to be a large amount of boulders around so that will certainly come in handy! [ Especially if she goes into any ruins or tombs. Which could happen! ] And now that you know what he is, you can give him a name!

I would appreciate that, thank you.
So I've been told that there is certain birthday party I should attend in Violet City?
It was November 11th the last I looked, but according to the date on this phone, it says it is November 23rd.

[Plus a year later than it used to be?]

[Thinking quietly, she hesitates for a moment before crouching down and offering one hand carefully.] If you really aren't Lil Sebastian, I suppose it wouldn't be fair to keep calling you his name. Would Sebby be alright?

[The Buneary doesn't move for a few long moments, before one ear tips down and snaps out -- only to make a sort of high five slap in Jane's hand.]

I'll take that as a yes.

Haha nothing escapes detective jane when shes on the prowl for information!
But yes itll soon be that hectic first week of december full of birthdays.
There are some time shenanigans screwing around with us.
When i got here it was october 27th or something!

Sebby is an excellent name!!

Jane, how much do you know about the basics of the pokemon world? Several of your compatriots seem to have played the game they say it is in our universes! I myself never have, although Fiduspawn was similar...

well i can see i was already a conversational topic among you and the others
i'm bro
bro strider

dont knoww dont really care but im sure one a them wwill contact you soon

[ SUPER FAMILIAR BLUE TEXT, Roxy is basically squeeing and doing a fistpump as soon as she sees it. ]

omgomgomg
jaaaaaaaaaaaneeeeeyyyyyyyyyy
janey jane jane

It's been a handful of years, but I think I remember the basics. I'm to collect Pokemon and raise them to take on gyms and "become a master"?

Hoo hoo! Aradia was kind enough to inform me of that, though once I learned the date, I wouldn't be missing it for the world.
I feel like I will wind up late with all of my gifts, but I do insist on making everyones cake!
That's awfully strange..
I wonder how it is that you were here a month ago, and yet you were still at home when we spoke last.
Time shenanigans indeed.

Oh I apologize for my musing.
Thank you, if you pointed them my way, or even if you didn't.
My name is Jane Crocker, may I ask for yours?

Bro Strider?
Just Bro, not some ironically hidden name that I will be called a silly goose for missing?
Yes, you are indeed someone to talk about, but I suppose that isn't the most polite thing.
It's lovely to meet you, my name is Jane Crocker.

Do you have a younger brother by the name of Dirk, perhaps? Younger than Dave?

Hello Roxy!
Jake and Aradia both said you were here, but I'm glad I get to hear from you myself.
:B!

Edited (fixing lines oops) 2012-11-24 20:38 (UTC)

Pish posh id count you arriving here the best birthday present!
But ill never say no to the famous jane crocker cake.
The only thing i can think of is time shenanigans really.
Roxy was pretty sure of the same thing.
Um but jane are you sure youre alright?
What was the last thing you remember when you were home?

[He kind of. Saw you get stabbed by the Red Miles.]

eridan ampora
im a friend a jakes
sorta of

Yes! There are apparently two classes: breeder and trainer! I myself am a breeder, as is Roxy, so our goal is apparently to breed the best pokemon, although we could also challenge gyms. Jake is a trainer, so his goal is what you just stipulated!
