Suddenly in a Pokémon World

[Introduction - Video]

[ At first the video only shows a paw as it stumbles to walk over the PokéGear and accidentally steps on the video button. Then a nose as the object is thoroughly sniffed. But a muffled nearby cry is enough to draw the small Vulpix’s attention away from its investigations and over to the young man asleep on the twin sized bed. He tosses, mussing his fair colored hair and clutches at the blankets as he winces in pain. Though there is no visible source of this discomfort it seems quite real to him.
As the Vulpix tilts its head, sadly calling out in sympathy, the young man startles and suddenly sits bolt upright. He appears dazed and takes a moment looking around the small room before bringing a hand up to gently hold his head. ]

This isn’t Cephiro… A nightmare…?
No, that can’t be right.

[ The man slowly looks at his hands, flexing the fingers as if he is surprised that he can do so. ]

That battle… were the Magic Knights able to win?
I don’t remember anything after that light. What happened? Does this mean… I’m not dead after all?

[[He's never played them either. He's a big ole TRPG nerd :D]

Un, it does feel real, it just has a lot of the same elements as a lot of the games I play.

The music that never seems to stop playing even when the radio is turned off?

[That is the first thing Eagle seizes on that seems game-like. ]

[[nod nod]] Exactly!

If this is some kind of game world there must be a way to end the game.

[[OoC: And through the glory of time delay, Bakura has actually set up to travel with Death and should conveniently remember this at some point to invite Eagle to see if he can come too. Hope that works?]]

[[nod nod]] So if it is based on that, once we trigger the main quest and then finish it, we should have the option to be sent back home.

[OOC: He is traveling with Death…? This mun finds the irony of that pretty funny. ^^ Fine with me invite away. ]

Could the answer be that simple? [Maybe not, but Eagle really didn’t have a better idea at the moment. ]

Anyway, it is something to consider. Maybe I should also look into traveling.

[[OoC: The irony is half the fun :D]]

We won't know until we find out!

If you'd like, I talked with someone yesterday who's going to be leaving soon, I can see if she wouldn't mind one more to the party. The bigger the group, the better the trip will be, I'm sure!

I would feel badly about it if your trip didn’t go well. I can at least make sure you arrive safely.

[Eagle is kind of independent and it is difficult for him to rely on others, but right now he has himself convinced that Bakura needs the help, so he can agree to tag along. ^^” ]

Unless of course the person you are traveling with believes they can handle the journey by themselves.

I'm not really sure, I think she's also new. And it'd be better with more people just in case, I think. If there are any random encounters, with enough of us, no matter what the level, we can take care of it!

[[probably for the best. Bakura's prone to bad luck and isn't exactly the most physically able person, even if his arm is healed. And while he's used to living on his own, he's used to it in Tokyo, not a much less developed place.]]

There do seem to be a lot of new people in this place.
[The starting City reveals itself. ]

You will have to let me know what she thinks of the idea, since traveling in groups is probably the safer option.

Yeah. I'm starting to think everyone wakes up here the same way at first.

and I will! Safer and more fun. The once I had to camp out it was a group of us and even with the lack of supplies, [[and the player killer and Kaiba's helicopter and the Sennen Ring interruptions...]] it was pretty fun because we were all together.

Not everyone I notice. Some people have mentioned getting as letter that tells them to wait for orders. Did you receive one of those?

[More fun? Chuckle!]

Yes, I guess it would be more fun also. Having some one to talk to along the way might be nice.

[Vulpix protest! ]

Ah, yes, I could talk to you! But, I meant it would be nice to have some one who could talk back to me.

[Poor Bakura. What… bad camping luck… ]

[[a warm smile at the vulpix]] Someone you speak the same language as is always nice, un. [[nods]]

And I don't think I got a letter like that...

[[and he's pulling out his bag to check again. Cue Amane wondering WTF he's doing and getting in the way]]

aaa, Amane-chan--!

[[some wrangling later and she's back to sitting on his head while he resumes his search]] I don't see one. And I didn't notice one in the room when I woke up either.

[The Vulpix thinks on that before deciding that is probably true and yipping to make sure there was no harm done. ]

I wonder why some people were singled out to receive letters and others were not. [Curious about that but also about the creature now sitting on Bakura’s head. ]

What kind of Pokémon is that?

Maybe it has something to do with what sort of world they came from? Or maybe they're working for the GM! [[a bit of a grin. It's mostly a joke.]] the GM always passes notes to people he has in on his schemes, after all.

And Amane-chan is a misdreavus. A ghost type! [[smiles up at the little pain who makes a ghostly moaning sound in return. Which doesn't seem to bother Bakura at all as he repacks his bag togethr.]]

The GM…? [Smiles. ] I wonder if there is some one like that. They should know a lot about this world.

[And maybe how to leave it. ]

That is a ghost? [Thinking - But, it’s so cute. It doesn’t look scary at all. ]
Do you know what… [Gestures at the Vulpix. ] … she is?

Aaa-- no, I'd have to look it up. [[and he's not sure if he can use this as a phone and an index at the same time.]] I'm still just learning about them all!

And a GM would, since they're the ones who run the games, after all!

You are still ahead of me. I wouldn’t have known that was a ghost Pokémon.

I will have to play with this piece of technology later on. To see how it works. And… of course, look up this little creature.

It was pretty easy to guess, really! [[huge smile. I mean, c'mon, it's obviously a ghost!]]

But, it’s nothing like I expected a ghost to look like.
[Beams. ]

It’s a lot cuter than that.

[[laugh a bit a that]] Un, there is that!

But ghosts a can look all sorts of ways, a ghost that looks like a girl isn't that far fetched!

I have heard of human ghosts before, but it never occurred to me that animals might also become ghosts… or that they could become pets.

[Which really was the odder concept!]

There are a lot of different ways ghosts can come into existence, not always from a death, and there are lots of stories of people having kami as their personal spirits! [[smiles up at Amane again]]

I always thought ghosts were just something made up for stories.
I have never seen one… [Corrects that. ] …had never seen one until today.

They're real. [[there's a bit of a distant softness to his smile with that]] I've never seen one directly... but sometimes...

[[and he trails off a bit wistfully before letting that line of thought stop.]]

So you're still in the starter house?

[Video] But Bakura needed a ghosty :D Either that or a Pikachu for the voice actor jokes :D

[Video] Do Pikachu and Bakura have the same VA? I did not know that.
