Dive 01 [video | action for New Bark]

[manlymanly]

Yo there, uh-- Johto! I already skimmed the manual thing, so I'll spare you all the boring questions and skip to the more important personal one!

*Aoto gives a casual wave to the camera after that. He seems in good spirits for somebody who just got kidnapped, but hey whatever.*

You see, it's best to seek out your allies early on in the game, yeah? So now it's recruitment time! I already got my eager little guy-- er... Little big guy? *He pans the camera over to show off his Makuhita, who gives a pound of his chest as a greeting to the network* --funny looking, ain't he? Anyway, allies! Best to ask about the ones I already have first, yeah? Sooo...

If any of you folks know someone with purple hair, let me know! There is a good chance they're somebody I'm familiar with-- Oh, and if they wear said hair in twin pigtails, it is a definite match! Beyond the purple haze, there's the beige haired girl who refers to herself in third person, and... ... wow, practically everybody I know aside from Saki really does have purple or purplish hair...

So, uh... Yeah! Give me a shout out if ya know somebody who fits in there, okay?

... in the meantime, it is time to figure out a badass name for my little yellow bro here... *ker-click*

Hours? Geez... I better be careful or it'll take forever to get to that next town...

Really? I don't have to fill it all in first?

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

It only takes a few days to get there anyway--- probably three days?

Not at all! If anything, it's just a guide to help you know the type of pokémon you're facing.

[manlymanly.livejournal.com]

Three, huh... That should be a breeze!

Heeeh... That's pretty generous of whoever made the thing, considering the whole abduction part.

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

It's probably faster if you run, but then you'll just get tired a lot faster too.

Well, I don't know if they're the same guy who did the abduction, but you got to admit it's pretty suspicious either way.

[manlymanly.livejournal.com]

Ah, well... I'm not going to rush it unless the people I'm traveling with want to. Gotta set a steady and safe pace, y'know?

Definitely suspicious! ... useful, yet suspicious. Like a lot of things.

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

Oh, you found travelmates? That's good for you! It's better to travel with someone when you're still new.

That's true. It's probably the only reason why anyone would just use it instead of complaining.

[manlymanly.livejournal.com]

Yup! I'm sticking with them at least until the next town over~ I'm meeting up with some friends from home there.

There is a lot to complain about... But whining and moaning isn't going to get me any of my stuff back.

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

Like the girl with the purple hair you mentioned? Have you found her then?

That's one way of viewing it. So it's more like you'll just get it over with?

[manlymanly.livejournal.com]

One of 'em, yeah. The other is more or less absent. Then another that just flat out isn't here.

Hey now... That makes it sound like I'm only doing it cause I don't have a choice.

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

More or less absent? [That's an unusual way to put it.]

Does it? Sorry! Well, it's not really like that, I guess.

[manlymanly.livejournal.com]

She's here, but she... isn't the same? Not the one I know, ya know?

Ah, s'all right. Just saying! I'm going on along with this cause it should be fun.

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

A different person with the same name?

It's a pretty good experience, that's for sure. I don't think I'd have a chance like this if I was still back in my world.

[manlymanly.livejournal.com]

She's the same person, just... different. It's weird.

I'd be worried if you did have experience with people kidnapping you and making you train monsters to survive.

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

That's not giving me a lot of room to work with. She acts different?

... Well, to be fair to these things, they do help a lot.

[manlymanly.livejournal.com]

To be more specific, she's... younger? By at least two years.

Oh, I'm not doubting that! *glancing to his Makuhita* It's just a little weird is all.

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

Oh! Well, that makes sense. Those things seem to happen around here, huh? [He met someone 15 years in the future after all.]

No, I don't doubt that. I found it really weird when I first met Cleo after all.
