[Sitting in a chair with the gear being held by both a pair of orange paws and peeking vines, Jane clears her throat and sits up a bit straighter on realizing the red light was on. For just a moment, she's making a "Guys, you should have told me!!" sort of expression, before Jane begins with a second clearing of her throat.]

Hello, my name is Jane Crocker! Everyone, I'd like your attention for just a few minutes, please!

[Bringing up a piece of poster board with writing on it, Jane holds it steady while continuing to speak.] I'd like to ask if any of you would be available for taking a survey for me. The answers sent to this device will be private, as well as all the information given. If I do need to use it in a public setting, such as with a reveal of what the data indicates, all names will remain anonymous. It will only take a few minutes of your time, and overall, it will help myself and others begin to look for a pattern in the way people arrive or depart from this world.

If you would like to participate, here is a text portion of what I have written here, since I'm certain the video footage won't be nearly as easy to read. [There's a small 'hoohoo!' there, Jane giving the camera a smile.]

Take your time with your answers, and if you would like to help, please direct your friends to filling out the form! There will likely be a few more posts like this as I try to work on several of the unknowns in this world, so I really must thank you all for even taking the time to listen to all of this.

[With that said, Jane is moving the poster down out of sight to move and get her gear from her Pokemon; the feed shuts off, but soon enough, there's an attachment with the form for filling out.]

Yes,
that is the main hope in doing it again!
It's been a fair enough amount of time for people to come and go
unfortunately in that aspect.

[...for Kayneth, the font is a different story holy hell let him decipher that um]

Well, I suppose if anything groundbreaking happens between now and the next time it makes the rounds I'll provide an updated survey. I'm not sure if there have been any patterns in the data yet given that I have no access to the answers, but there are probably some important correlations among the answers.

I think the main reason we're bringing it up again right now
is that we need more participants.
I haven't had a look at the data yet myself so far,
but I'm sure there will be something!

Thank you in advanced for your time spent,
if I'm not the one with the survey next time! :B

I had suspected as much. In an ideal world, everyone would understand how important this sort of thing is--but, of course, not much about this world could be considered ideal.

You're very welcome. Until then, I hope this particular venture is successful.

For the most part, no,
it's a little too off the wall and something from my childhood
to be exactly ideal.
Plus the music gets old very quickly.

I am certain when it is, we will have information to share with everyone! :B

Ah, I believe I heard about this place being compared to a game at several points. Fiduspawn, was it...?

...and really, the music is the worst part of this whole place. I've never quite managed to completely tune it out.

It sounds like you've spoken to a troll!
From what Aradia has explained to me,
it is very similar.
There is a game exactly like this world
back in my world.
Same name and some of the Pokemon are exactly the same!
The game only had the region of Kanto though,
and only 150 Pokemon at the time.

Hoohoo!
It is a little difficult to tune out
but putting your own words to it
sometimes makes it easier to deal with.

Ah, so Miss Megido is a troll? I wasn't quite sure, given that her typing isn't as... creative as the others I've met thus far.

Is that so? I thought it was strange when the person who described Fiduspawn to me pointed out how similar it was, but the fact that you had a game that was almost entirely the same right down to the name and some of the Pokemon... that's certainly uncanny. Then again, this isn't the first time I've encountered something that was unarguably fictional in my world but was actually real here. The differences are a bit strange, but... well, I can't claim to be an expert on video games, so I can't say what would be the cause of that.

Well, whatever works. At least it's entirely possible to drown it out with various music playing devices, though I haven't been able to find anything I'm terribly fond of.

Hoohoo,
she certainly does have an easy-on-the-eyes quirk!

Oh? May I ask what these other fictional in your world, yet real here encounters are?

What kind of music are you interested in?

Yes, quite.

An animated mouse that was one of the secondary mascots of an over-commercialized entertainment company. I believe she isn't here anymore, so I can't offer proof, but... well. It was certainly jarring, and I have to admit that I felt the whole thing felt completely idiotic, but it happened.

Classical, mostly.

[...his MAGUS PRIDE really won't let him admit anything else...]

By "animated mouse of an over-commercialized entertainment company",
I would like to make a guess at Disney?
Wait, Mickey Mouse was here?

[wat]

Classical is something I do miss myself,
what with this world being game-sounds
and techno-silliness so often.
I do have to wonder if a piano is available for purchase,
as playing one is probably the next best thing I'll get to listening to classical?

...no, it was Minnie Mouse, actually. Which is no less ridiculous, but in the interest of accuracy...

[IT WAS SO STUPID. SO. STUPID.

AND HIS REACTION TO LEARNING THIS MOST CERTAINLY WASN'T HILARIOUS]

If it were available on the radio I probably wouldn't mind the constant music as much--some pieces are fairly relaxing instead of grating like these ones can be. With that said, that does seem like a possible solution.

Oh my goodness.
Well, yes, accuracy is quite important for things such as that!

I'll do my best in searching the stations in the meantime. :B
I may think I'm good at playing the piano,
but I certainly wouldn't want to disappoint a fellow classical fan.

Yes, of course. I wouldn't be surprised if there are other cases of this happening, but there haven't been many that I've recognized.

Well, I hope you find one, for both our sakes. Perhaps I'd be more likely to find one in Kanto...

It does lead one to think about their own home, their own world, and wonder.

I will certainly let you know!
Kanto may indeed be another set of air waves to check.

Given that there are infinite parallel worlds, I suppose it's only natural that some of them perfectly mirror worlds that appear in works of fiction... but that was a bit difficult to stomach even taking that in mind.

Given that Saffron has a concert hall, I suspect we may have more luck there--but who knows, really.

Yes, it is a bit of an awkward thought.
I'm not sure how I would take it,
if someone told me they knew everything about me
simply because it was a "tv series" or a comic.

It does?
Oh good, that definitely is a place for me to start then!

That would be really awkward to experience, however... for now, I'm just going to assume these "adaptations" aren't totally accurate, for my own peace of mind.

It's worth a go. If nothing else, they may sell recordings of past performances.

I think I'm going to take that frame of mind too.

Right!
I'll be sure to pick some up for you. :B

I would certainly appreciate that, Miss Crocker. Forgive me, but I don't believe I've introduced myself--I am Lord Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi.

Oh goodness,
how rude of me not to even ask!

Oh wow,
I don't think I've ever met a Lord before.
It's really lovely to meet you!
How would you like me to address you?
Lord Kayneth?

There's no real problem; this sort of thing seems to encourage borderline anonymity.

Well, there's a first time for everything, isn't there? In any case, so long as you use my title, I don't really have a preference as to how I'm addressed.

Hoohoo
so long as you're alright with that.
I'll remember that then. :B
