001. Action for Goldenrod City/Video
[ACTION FOR GOLDENROD CITY]
[Well, if you're on the streets this evening in the general vicinity of the Radio Tower, you will likely come across a figure in what looks like a cross between a white gakuran and a military uniform (no, seriously, those boots cannot be school issue, can they?); he's got his arms folded tightly across his chest, almost as though he's cold despite being nothing of the sort, and he's staring rather intently upward.
Not at anything in particular. Just looking up at the sky.
However, if you're close enough (and you're probably close enough because he is pretty much the opposite of subtle), it'll be fairly obvious that he's probably not seeing much of anything despite the intensity of his gaze, given that he's got an impressive amount of tears going on. Like, "that should probably not be coming out of human eyes" levels of impressive. Holy shit. Tears. All over. Like he's seen the face of God or something.
Someone might want to poke him or make sure his brain hasn't just shorted out or something, he'll be here all night otherwise.]
[VIDEO]
[Hello, Johto! Sometime this evening you are being treated to some serious jittercam, courtesy of one of your newer arrivals (after he's come out of whatever trance he was in earlier because good lord almighty there is sky out here). It's not quite enough to make you seasick, but more than enough to make you wonder exactly how it is your life has come to this and who gave the complete amateur a camera before everything seems to even out. The video eventually seems to settle on a rather...uh, severe-looking kid with short, dark hair, red eyes and eyebrows that go forever, and whatever he's doing, he seems deeply annoyed with it, goodness. Who invited the spawn of Satan to the Poképarty...
And then he seems to figure out that he is, in fact, filming, and his response is so immediately joyful it'll give you whiplash if you are not properly strapped in. His grin is open and incredibly genuine, the expression entirely unguarded; he sets the device down on a table in front of him, as he appears to be outside still, and he immediately starts waving at it a bit - both through utter glee and trying to see if it actually is tracking properly.]
Ha ha ha - so it does work! This is excellent news, excellent! Now, if I can get it to -
[His voice is a bit odd - it's loud and enthusiastic, but it's strangely blunted, as though he hasn't...quite worked out how voice inflection works but dammit, he's trying. He reaches out while he talks, the conversation dissolving into rather pleased muttering to himself as he tries to turn off the 'Gear and promptly...uh, sends the video, good job.]
[VIDEO, TWO MINUTES AFTER THE FIRST]
[Well, Captain Eyebrows here seems to have gotten himself under a bit more control, though the amount of volume is still going to make people why he even bothered with a video - surely he can be heard in Kanto by now. He's clearly trying to sound authoritative; the effect is just...horribly shouty.]
My name is Ishimaru Kiyotaka, a student of the 78th annual class at Hope's Peak Academy! It's excellent to have a way to contact all of you, even if the situation that's brought it about is very weird indeed!
Whoever is responsible for this turn of events, I would like to both thank you for your generosity regarding the situation, and yet express my general confusion at what it is you expect me to do here! It would be appreciated if I could thank you in person - or...speak to you properly or knew who you were...hm.
[He...seems to have lost himself for a moment, hang on - ]
At any rate - if I've learned anything in my studies of others, it's that cooperation is the best way to ensure success! If you could introduce yourselves and tell me where it is you come from, I would be very grateful - let's make the most of this weird situation by working hard and working together!
[End feed!
...Ishimaru, please...]

I'm guessing you woke up in New Bark Town? That's where I'm told most end up at the start. We didn't.
We're in Goldenrod City right now; there's...a reason why, I think, but...ah, it's not something that can be talked about so openly! It can wait, I think, but - the important part is that we'll meet you in Goldenrod City, whenever you arrive!
no subject
A...all right. If there's a reason for it, you don't have to tell me. It will probably take me about two weeks or so to get to Goldenrod since I have to walk.
no subject
[Ahahaha. Haha. Ha. Oh god.]
Although this...woman you're talking about sounds disconcerting - she claimed to be your mother and immediately told you to leave? Is it possible she knows anything about what's happening, or...?
no subject
She locked the door so I couldn't go back inside and ask her, though.
no subject
[Because you know he's going to have some sort of tremendous and utterly unsubtle chart to document this crap all over his wall by the end of this.]
There are things that we're looking into here as well - I'll keep you updated with any progress that's made!
[...]
...I-It really is good to see that you're here as well, Naegi-kun.
no subject
I'll try to get to Goldenrod as quickly as possible, so let's share our findings there. I'm sure we'll be able to shed some light on the situation.
no subject
[I mean, he's happy to see you too, as awkwardly as he managed to word that, but what on earth is that look for - though his attention is quickly drawn away by those latter assertions down there, so no harm done, clearly!]
Ah, but that sounds excellent! I'll be sure to let my brother know of these plans of ours - we'll work this out together, I know we will!
no subject
no subject
[He laughs once that's out there, however, like the total paragon of tact and social grace that he is.]
Until then, however, my entire body will remain tense in anticipation of your message!
[...do we hang up now? How do we...end conversations...]
no subject
Anyway, I'm sure you have a lot of things to do like exploring the city, so I'll talk to you later. If anything comes up, call me.
no subject
For the time being, however, he seems content with how the conversation has gone and...mildly relieved that he's being provided with a reason to hang up; he's got Oowada with him and he's...kind of getting along with someone he met outside, but he's still trying to figure out how to person over here.]
I'll be sure to do that - have a good evening!! Yes!!
[Well, that sounded more like a command than anything before it...dissolved, there (clearly, you are going to have a good evening or so help him); prayer circle for your patience, Naegi, but at least he turns the feed off after that.]
