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...]

...Ishimaru, please...]

I just arrived earlier today, so I'm not very acquainted with it yet - I've been keeping it in the capsule as it's still not very well-trained and it finds biting to be acceptable, but...!
[He hesitates for a moment, and then seems to decide that it won't harm much to let it out for the time being - Munenori, please tell him you've learned to behave in the time between when he first tried to work with you and now - and after a brief flash of light aimed toward the ground and a couple of seconds of jittercam later, the camera focuses in on a...uh. Bouncing crimson ball of monkey, really, because Darumaka.
He seems more interested in the camera than showing Ishimaru exactly what he thinks of his boots this time around, at least; he'd been trying to chew on them all afternoon, which was fine until it started trying to set them on fire.]
This is Munenori! At least, that's what I've been calling him and he doesn't seem opposed!
i laughed so hard at the perfection that is his starter. a+
[But okay, when Ishimaru said he like biting, John was definitely expecting something more...distinctly not Darumaka. Like maybe a dog or a dinosaur or something like that.]
Oh huh. I've never seen that kind before. Fire type?
appreciated! ♥
Oh, well. At least the general sense of comradeship through things that like to gnaw on your...everything is appreciated?]
A fire-type indeed! He's very energetic, which I approve of - but I guess that it's a bit obvious why the biting is a problem!
[What with the flames and all.]
I'm sure he'll be just fine in time - I just haven't disciplined it enough yet!
apologies for the late. you know how sometimes you just get stuck on a reply? idk what happened.
Ohhh yeah, I can imagine why it would be. [He chuckles a bit.] Hopefully he doesn't learn fire fang or something like that before you manage to train the habit out of him.
And hopefully he isn't the stubborn sort that will actually listen to you when you try and teach him to not bite the hand that feeds...
see: my brain, most tags lately. No worries, man!
...Magikarp, bro.
It kind of negates any of the awesome factor for the time being.]
I intend to try to stay optimistic, anyway!
Have you been here long? You seem as though you know what you're doing, at least, not like someone new to this world at all!
no subject
[There are definitely worse universes to be stuck in.]
I have been here for a little over two years now. And I hope to be here for many more!
no subject
[FINALLY, SOMEONE WHO GETS IT.]
Most people have just given odd looks when I've explained that I would prefer to stay here - but as you said, this is a good place to be indeed!
no subject
[John smiles. He has no idea what Ishimaru's homeworld was like. But if he just got here and already sees Johto as a place he doesn't want to leave, he can imagine that there's some kind of similarity to their circumstances.]
[If nothing else, both their Earths were less-than-ideal.]
But a lot of people here just had regular lives back where they came from and I can't say I really blame them for wanting to get back to their friends and families.
no subject
Yes, that's true...but if that sort of feeling about this place would be similar for those you know from your world - that this place is really better - I hope that they find their way here eventually!
no subject
Oh, hehe. A lot of them are actually already here! Most of us, actually. Same goes to you though. Unless a lot of your friends are already here too which, in that case, huzzahs are in order.
