♕ 001 // Action for Route 29

[lackingbeauty]

What the 'ell is goin' on 'ere? Use this damn thing fer wha-

[The video feed flicks on to show a woman's face far too close up, brow furrowed, looking quite disturbed.]

[Switching from text to video, she apparently doesn't know what the hell to do with the Pokegear either.]

Dagger? Wendy? Peter? Jumbo-

[The video is shaky, and only shows... a rather ponderous bosom.]

Doll? Snake?

- Joker?

[She waits, as if for a response. But the only sound is wind rustling through the trees and grass.

Another minute, before the video feed moves too fast for the feed to really pick up- grass, grass real close, black.]

... I'm goin' mad.

[soundmind]

No, you're not.

[Does Beast need a no-nonsense schoolgirl talking to her.

Well, too bad, because she's got one anyway.]

Miss, you're part of that clown's family, aren't you? He'll be happy to see you--then again, knowing him he's probably already found you. I can answer any questions you might have, if you want.

[video] HOURS LATER......

[lackingbeauty]

[Another video- another face, another voice. Though this one has the advantage of talking to her after she's spoken to Joker somewhat.

Her mind was whirling with impossibilities and nonsense, but. She tried to focus. To reply, her fingers rubbing a pressured circle in to her temple.]

"Any questions" sounds like yer about to commit to a lot.

[Seeing as.

She had a lot of questions. Who wouldn't?]

[soundmind]

Kind of, they expect you to live here and do a lot of tasks related to these Pokemon, and generally people that first arrive have a lot of questions on their mind. I've been in this place for a year now, so I've seen most of what it can throw at you.

If you need a moment, take your time, miss.

[Maka she already had a few hours.]

[lackingbeauty]

[A year?

Beast puts the device down a minute to hide her face. A year? She couldn't be here a year- she had to get back to the rest- Joker did, too-

Her mind is a litany of whatthehellwhatthehellwhatthehell-

Breathe. Start simple.]

The 'ell is a Pokemon anyway? I got one shoved at me before I left that damn town-

[video]

[soundmind]

They're kind of like animals, they have special abilities that they use to fight with each other. People that are trainers, like me, train Pokemon to be really strong and battle them against other trainers' Pokemon.

[For example, this bundle of horrors that pokes its head up into the camera.]

Hehe, there are lots of different kinds, this is one we just discovered, though he doesn't have a name yet. I've been calling him Loki.

[She pulls creepycat away from the screen and sits him on her shoulder.]

They're our friends in this world. Which one did you get?
