scientificflair: (Your early ending was all wrong)

001. Video.

[The 'Gear had been an interesting thing to figure out - an amusing little toy, really; while calling it a puzzle would have been giving it entirely too much credit, Descole had enjoyed himself with it for a while. The afternoon had been spent watching the others post to the network; apparently he wasn't the only one that had randomly found himself stuck here. Really, there had been at least one other that day posting to say that they had found themselves in the same predicament.

How odd.

Tonight, his own feed comes alive, focusing in on a dimly-lit room and just enough of a figure to indicate that there's a person sitting in that chair over there, though he's leaning back and the camera is situated at an angle in relation to the person, keeping his face out of view of the camera. There doesn't appear to be too many distinguishing points about the individual, as he appears to be draped in a long black cape of some sort, though toward the upper corner of the frame, there's an obvious fluffy shock of white among all the dark folds of fabric, and the edges of his sleeves are ruffled and white, pale against what's visible of his hands where they're folded against what appears to be a desk or table of some sort.

All part of the act, of course; keep the audience guessing.

When he speaks, his voice is cordial, but almost stiffly formal - not quite rehearsed, but he's clearly been thinking about what to say for some time.]


Assuming this message manages to reach anyone, if someone would do me the favor of actually obliging me and letting me know where I am, that would be appreciated - there was a red-haired woman in here earlier claiming that she was doing exactly that, but unfortunately, she didn't say anything terribly useful.

[He leans forward a bit, the slightest hint of a smirk edging into the frame above that white boa.]

And if anyone just happens to know where my swords have gone...really, if you know what's in your best interests you'll return them as quickly as possible. I can't say there won't be any hard feelings, but I'm sure we can work something out.

Welcome to Johto, Sir~!

If I had to make a guess, I would make one that involved your dangerous weapons being whisked away entirely to some magical storage area... At least I think that's part of the theme here?

My... Truth be told, I never put too much thought into the how of things... Just the fact that I was now here.

*Smiling! She doesn't mind all his mysteriousness one bit.*

Ara ara... Do you mean the theme in general, or the one about things being taken from you on arrival? I still don't quite understand the latter all that much myself...

[[Emmy has just started happily fishing in one of the bodies of water just outside Violet City; it's a lovely day, the fish are biting, and her and her Pokemon are quite enjoying being out in the sun! It's nice to take a break from training all the time.

Her Pokegear is lying by her side, on; occasionally she'll push a button and hook onto a different feed, just to listen to what's going on! You never know, there could be potential clues to the puzzle she's trying to solve!

So when she pushes the button again, humming to herself, it takes her a minute to realise that she recognizes the voice coming out of it.]]


Hm?

[[Frowning slightly, she turns the 'Gear so that she can actually see the video. Her eyes widen.]]

You have got to be joking!

[[The nerve of him, showing up to Johto on this day! She was having such a good time! She's absolutely furious!!

In fact, her words are blending themselves together in such a twisted mess that the only thing she can push out is-]]


...you!!

[...Well aren't you fabulous. Granted, he can't get a very good look at you from that angle but... Oh come on, the only person he's ever seen wearing anything fluffy and white was Greed. Clearly this is giving off the best impression ever right now.]

This is Johto. I'm afraid I can't tell you how you ended up here or why you're here; no one knows. As for your swords, you won't be seeing those again any time soon.

[That sounds interesting though, let's pursue that!]

I'm assuming those swords aren't just for show.

[Those clothes look oddly familiar... He can't judge by voice since Clive has never actually met the man before, but he's fairly certain he's correct in assuming that this man is Descole. Who else would wear such an eccentric outfit? Well, whether he's correct or not, it wouldn't hurt to give the guy a quick little Johto 101.]

You are in Johto, a land filled with animal-like creatures called Pokémon, which you can capture and raise to battle against other Pokémon trainers, or you can just breed them or keep them as pets if battling isn't your thing. If it is, however, you may or may not be interested in going around the region and collecting badges, which you can earn by defeating the Gym Leader in each town, though I believe New Bark Town and Cherrygrove City are the only places that don't have a gym. There's also another region called Kanto, which you can get to by taking the train in Goldenrod City. I believe tickets are P20000.

Oh, yes, there's no way to return home of your own free will, so don't even bother attempting to leave. It may also be worth noting that it is impossible for people and Pokémon to die in both Johto and Kanto.

And as for your swords, they're not here. Weapons seem to magically disappear upon arriving in this place.

[That should be enough information. He pauses for a moment and gives a courteous smile.]

Any further questions?

[Clive tries to be as helpful as he can. After all, he's a gentleman!]

Yes, I'm afraid it would be. I don't have the slightest clue on who or what brought us here, or for what purpose. It just happens. However, people seem to randomly disappear as often as they appear, so there is a possibility that you will be able to return home someday.

I couldn't say where your weapons would be, though I can understand your frustration. Granted, it seems as though proper weapons aren't exactly legal here-a bit odd, given that we're entrusted with potentially dangerous animals right away.

Welcome to Johto.

Much of what you will see and experience here is beyond your wildest imagination, thus confirming, once again, that,
