01 // . . . What is this. [VIDEO]

[angerpoint]

[The screen flickers on to display Kanji, glaring fixedly at the screen.  He's clearly not holding the pokegear steady.]Okay, what is this shit?!  One minute, I'm home, waitin' for Ma to call me down to dinner, the next, some random chick's handing me stuff an' shoving me out the door!  Where the hell am I?!  That was not my Ma.  I don't care what

K-Kanji-kun? You've come back?

[Wait.]

Kanji-kun, what is the last event you remember from before you came here?

[But regardless, have a shocked, happy and worried (all at the same time!) Naoto blushing at Kanji from the screen.]

[video]

[angerpoint]

[There is a moment in which Kanji just stares at the screen, surprise written clearly across his face.]

Naoto?! What're you doing here? Shit, is this some new shadow thing?!

[He suddenly turns to glare suspiciously at Marilyn.]

Is this thing something I should be fightin' instead of feedin'?

[video]

[fortunatewings]

Care for her carefully and train her. She is your partner now.

[And Naoto will assume that he does not remember his previous time]

There are no shadows here that any of us have discovered and it is a good thing because we cannot access our personas here either.

[And now a tiny bird in an adorable hat will be taking up most of the screen, cooing happily at Kanji]

[video]

[angerpoint]

. . . I can do that.

[Kanji brings up a hand to ruffle the little electric pokemon's ears.]

Well, I guess that's one less thing to worry ab--

[Kanji is promptly distracted by Naoto's pokemon.]

So, uh... You got one too? 's cute...

[Kanji blushes.]

[video]

[restardom]

There you are!! Do you know how worried we were about you?!

[video]

[angerpoint]

[Kanji blinks at Rise in confusion.]

. . . You lost your mind, Rise? I just saw you like... yesterday.

[video]

[restardom]

...

[ DAMMIT. ]

What were we doing?

[video]

[angerpoint]

[Kanji raises an eyebrow at her.]

You dragged me to Junes to look for shoes or some other girly shit. I wasn't... paying attention.

[Yes you were, Kanji. You just still don't want to admit you were admiring lacy dresses.]

[video]

[kungfumaniac]

Jeez, Kanji!

I've been waiting in Violet for weeks for you so I could pass on Rise's gift! And you show up the day after I leave for the next town!

Wait... Are you in New Bark?

[video]

[angerpoint]

Oh, Chie-senpai. You too?

[. . . Rise's... gift? New Bark?]

Uh, senpai? What're you talking about?

Re: [video]

[kungfumaniac]

No way... >Did you start over? I mean, you did dissapear for a week or two but...>

Um. What is the last thing you remember?

[video]

[angerpoint]

. . . Am I the last one to get some freakin' memo or something? You guys are acting weird.

[He frowns, tilts his head a little to the side.]

Uh, well... I was... In my room, waiting for dinner. I think.

[brbmanlytears]

[WELP ONLY TALKED TO OTHER-YOU LIKE TWICE BUT he is setting that aside so casually--]

It's Johto. You ever get into Pokémon?

[video]

[angerpoint]

[Kanji looks miffed.]

. . . What's that got to do with anything? And who are you?

[video]

[brbmanlytears]

Well, we're kind of in Pokémon world.

Neku.

[video]

[angerpoint]

. . . Oh. Right. That.

[He's blushing, but he still looks angry. Defense mechanism.]

Do I know you from somewhere?

[video]

[combat_butler]

*... okay, you are obviously not the one he talked to before.*

It's a good thing to get attached to her!

[video]

[angerpoint]

. . . Ya think so?

[Kanji takes a good look at Marilyn.]

[video]

[combat_butler]

Mm, definitely! If you're going to be traveling together, you should get to know each other as much as possible.

[video]

[angerpoint]

You're... probably right. [He pets the Pichu.]

So, uh... You someone else I know but... don't know?
