What kind of weird system is this? Is this thing even--
[The camera blinks on to Miyako's face, and she squints for a moment. But once she realizes the camera's on, she perks up - if only for a second.]
Bingo! It's on, right? [Looks on. She smiles.] Uh... Hi! I'm Inoue Miyako, grade 6... Um...
...I'm not even in Japan, am I?

Nice to meet you, Inoue-san. I'm Takatori Mamoru, law school graduate. Truly, this isn't Japan. By all appearances, this world is a manifestation of a video game. How or why anyone has been brought here isn't something I know, but I'm confident that it wasn't this "Daisuke."

Nice to meet you too, Takatori-san! The... we're in a video game?! But... how?

More importantly... how much do you know about camping and self-sufficiency?

[Worried face grows.]
C-camping? I've... I went camping with my siblings a few years ago, but I didn't like it very much... W-why? Is there a lot of camping here?!

[He hates to upset her further but it would benefit no one to lie.]
Unfortunately, it is a lifestyle here. You should have a sleeping bag in your pack. There are tents available for purchase in the next town. It's a three-day hike from where you are now. Look for fruit and nuts along the trail if you become hungry. Don't eat any mushrooms or berries.
[A pause.] Are you going to be all right? Someone can meet you at the halfway point.

S-sleeping bag... and... D-don't eat the mushrooms... I... I think I can remember all of that...
[Face melting... And then she starts crying. This is too much.]

Do you have any friends or family here, Inoue-san?

I--I have a f-friend... b-but I don't know where he i-is!

He can only be in one direction from where you are now. Start walking towards Cherrygrove City. I'll meet you about halfway with some real food and escort you the rest of the way. We'll try to find your friend.

So just... go down the first trail, right? I'll start that...

Walk down the trail. If you have any questions or problems, I urge you to call back. [Beat.] Even if it's the middle of the night.
I'll see you in roughly 36 hours.
(OOC: Do you want to log this or handwave? I'm good with either.)

[[ooc: I'd love to log it, but I'm asking Takeru's player first before I give a definite answer! In his intro post, Miyako ran into him and they're heading off together, so both of them would run into Mamoru. (Won't he have fun babyitting? :D)]]

I'm sure on every count. I'll make the trip. I want you to call if there are problems. There's nothing that wants to eat you. If any animal wants to fight, use your Pokémon. It's the strange creature you have with you. Everything in the walk between New Bark Town and Cherrygrove City is very weak. You won't have a problem with them if you keep an eye on your own Pokémon's health. There are potions in your backpack that will restore it if it seems weak.
(OOC: ROFL, ogod he will. No problem! I'm good with a three-person log or handwaving it or a handwaved callback to let him know she's ok and not to make the trip. Just let me know what you two decide on o/ )

[[ooc: Takeru's all up for it! Let's log this sucker!]]

Stay cheerful, Inoue-san. It isn't as bad as it seems.
(OOC: Awesome >D I'll get that up ASAP)
