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.

Unfortunately. It seems that this place has a will of its own and selects people at random to trap here.

[Yes, yes, it sounds crazy, he knows.]

There's a rumor about how to get home, but no one has proved or disproved it yet. I assume you've arrived recently; have you learned anything about this world?

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...

[Wow, Descole, you managed to out-nerd Archer. Good job!]

Understandably so; the majority of the information I've received on this place has been gained through those who have already been here for quite some time. This place is run by those with the most powerful... Pokémon. You should have received a red-and-white ball of some sort with a creature inside of it. These creatures are vital to success in this world. Those with the most powerful Pokémon are known as the Elite Four and the Champion. It's rumored that if you defeat them you can return home.
snapandscoot: (Correct!)

Oh, well, I was capturing a Magikarp! I've been waiting out here all day for a really good one, and one just so happened to pop up as we were talking and I simply couldn't let it get away-

It's a type of Water Pokemon.

[[....

aw hell let her brag for a moment, WITH A FLASH HERE IS HER MASSIVEKARP]]


See? This is a Magikarp. I caught it myself! With the help of my Pokemon, of course.

[[Ooh, have a smirk.]]

I take it you don't know about Pokemon, and how to catch them?

[Oh, come on, don't be like that. Clive doesn't want to get in your way.]

It's my pleasure. It's been so many years since I last saw you, I'm willing to let bygones be bygones. I'm sure the others will give you enough trouble.

[Well, that makes enough sense. But come on, don't talk to him about getting your arms ripped off! Wait until after the canon update, at least!]

Two? That's certainly interesting. The one I received was dreadfully useless in the beginning, but they grow and change given enough time and training.

We'll see how confident you are without your silly machines to hide behind, Descole!!
