A; Phone

Does anyone know what that census is for...?

B; route to school

[Hilda is late. Again. She still hasn't adjusted her sleeping schedule to allow her to comfortably get up early enough to make it to school on time, so now she's running down the street--something which will probably be familiar to those who live on the route who are up at

Nothing more than a count of the population; keeping track of the cards in play, so to speak. You wouldn't remember the last one conducted in Unova.

In a town as small as this, though. . . . And the questions were nothing short of bizarre.

[backinblackcity]

They don't ask you stuff like how you like your eggs in Unova, do they...? Maybe something's going to happen.

{She doesn't sound quite as worried as she probably should be--she hasn't been in Mayfield long enough to really know what sort of things might happen, for one, but more importantly, she might get one of her Pokemon back then.]

[tenebrousking]

I'm more interested in the questions about working, fighting in wars, and having a 'right' to be here. Shall we say they were . . . alarming?

I wouldn't be surprised, from what I've heard of the town. You noticed we weren't allowed to lie?

[backinblackcity]

Yeah. I wasn't even going to fill it out, but I did anyway.

I don't even know what a communist is. I didn't have to fill out that part, at least.

[backinblackcity]

[Oh, good, that means she's caught up. She slows to a walk once she reaches Hilbert.]

I hate going to school.

[She works on brushing her hair now that she's walking.]

[backinblackcity]

Maybe if it was at a reasonable time...

Well I guess the ones who aren't drones are okay.

[10_year_old_kid]

Yeah, it was pretty weird, huh? I mean, what do un-Patratic and communinism even mean anyway?

[backinblackcity]

I guess they have to do with this world? Unpatriotic would mean you don't like where you live, right, but communism...?

[10_year_old_kid]

Oh, so it doesn't have anything to do with Patrat then?

[backinblackcity]

I don't think so. There aren't Pokemon here usually, right?

[pillowhair]

I wish I knew.

[backinblackcity]

[That voice sounds familiar.] Hey, are you from Unova...?

[pillowhair]

Yeah, I am!

[backinblackcity]

Do you know someone called Hilbert or Hilda? It's okay if you don't, I'm still not sure how times and worlds and stuff work here...

Keima is dredging himself to school as well, only because of the punishment meted if one does not go. He sees the running girl with a muffin in her mouth and just muses to himself.

"My school before coming here starts at 7:30. 8:00 is a luxury."

[backinblackcity]

Hilda pauses in her run to both swallow and respond to the boy. It takes her a moment to do the former. "Well, I haven't gone to school since I was a kid."
