[ Of course she would react this way. Wouldn't you? She just woke in a children's game. A children's game from the nineties. She has second cousins and a nephew that plays this stuff. She is a grown woman and a Federal officer she does not have time for this and does not belong here SEND HER BACK RIGHT NOW, DAMN IT, OR THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES

[THAT VOICE]

[holy_caf_pow]

[IT CAN'T BE]

[holy_caf_pow]

[BUT IT CAN]

[holy_caf_pow]

[But she's dead.]

[...yep, that'd be what Abby's going all flaily and...Abby over.

Well. This is unexpected. And...well she's not quite sure where to go from here, 'cause while Abby may definitely be familiar enough to be on a first-name basis with her and Ziva knows Kate's first name...well, first meetings.]

Calm down. Abby and I can answer any questions that you have.

[caiticature]

[ Much calmer now that Abby has reminded her how it's (freaking out) done. ]

Right. Calm. I'm working on it. [ A deep breath. ] You're "Ziva", I take it? You're a friend of Abby's? [ Introductions will come after confirmation-- she doesn't want to run you over verbally. ]

[bywiseguidance]

[She nods.]

Yes, I am Ziva. Abby and I are traveling together, we will be coming to meet you as soon as we can.

[Video]

[caiticature]

Nice to meet you, Ziva. I'm Caitlin Todd.

Well, to be fair, it's no video game. You don't get grass-stains in video games, but you sure as hell get them here.

The game's based on this or something, I guess.

... Anyway! Welcome to Johto.

[ Exhales. ]

... I just really don't even know where to begin. Thank you for the welcome. [ Sheepish smile. ]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Hey, no prob. We were all new once!

[She sounds pretty cheerful about it-- being in Johto for an entire year apparently made her feel sufficiently experienced to be all reassuring and shit to the new guys.]

[Hikari looks over at the gear, before letting out a sigh.]

This isn't a game. At all. Why do a lot of people think that?

[Video]

[caiticature]

[ She's frustrated and confused, but sure not about to take it out on a kid-- no offense, Hikari, anyone seventeen and under qualifies as a kid in Kate's book --and especially not one she just met. ]

Well, I can't speak for everyone else, but I personally have nephews that play these games back home. I'm not sure what she's called-- [ Gear swivels briefly to her Absol. ] --but I know enough to know that she's a Pokemon, or... Digimon... one of those 'mon' things.

Re: [Video]

[chosenlightchld]

[No offense would be taken. Hikari's twelve, after all. Sure, she's a twelve-year-old who's saved the world twice, but she's still twelve.

Of course, there was a bigger problem now.]

Yeah, it's a Pokémon. Sorry, I mean, I know it's a game for some people back home, but here it's very real and it's an actual animal. Not data or something li...

... Wait, how do you know about Digimon?

[Video] Will avoid fourth walling unless it's alright by you. ♥

[caiticature]

I don't mean it that way. I can see that this is... real from here, I just mean that doesn't change the fact that it should be impossible for me to be here. [ She exhales, rubbing her temple briefly. ]

Digimon? I heard it somewhere before.
