[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.

- What the 'ell is that!

[Beast recoils from the screen in shock as the Linoone hops in to view. Was that some kind of mutant badger? A giant stoat? And why would this kid have one right there that's dangerous???]

[The Linoone lowers his head a bit and growls more when Beast exclaims, but Chihiro is quick to pet the side of his neck to calm him down.]

I-it's okay! This is Isamu....he's my partner. My friend....he's a Pokemon called Linoone.

You...you should have a Pokemon with you, too.

The 'ell is a Pokemon?

[Chihiro what the hell? What is a Linoone? Is she hallucinating? Has she been drugged?]

[Chihiro takes a deep breath, closing his eyes for a minute. He's not the person for this. Naegi would be better suited for something like this.

But he answered, so now he has to try.]

Pokemon are....are the creatures that live in this world. They're...they're highly intelligent, a-and they work alongside humans. It's a bit....h-hard to explain, and a lot to take in at once, I u-understand...

But they're normal. Like how there are animals at home. They're....a lot different from normal animals in a lot of ways, but...them being here is normal for this place.

[lackingbeauty]

It in't normal at all, that! What's it- some badger 'ad a go at a weasel?

[Sorry Chihiro... Beast and "believing things she's told that go outside her world schema" do not go hand in hand.

Or anywhere near hands.

She knows how the world works- and what animals exist and what is and is not possible.

Going to a different place with weird animals ranks up there with "not possible".]

They're...normal here. T-that's all I'm saying.

[Isamu snorts at that. Wow, he's almost offended.]
