002: Accident [accidental video // action closed to outskirts of new bark]

[dnoteworthy]

[for all intents and purposes, video feed comes on to reveal static, followed by... well, nothing, really. There's also the audio feed, though, and apart from background music, you'll hear muffled commands from Light.]

Euphrates, use Tackle! [it's not like he's got much of a choice apart from that, really...]

[Clive is walking right by. He does a double take at the Magikarp out of the water.]

So the fish here can survive outside water...[Yup, he hasn't been here long.]

[legalapprentice]

So it would seem.

Would you mind me asking how you came here? [He himself was sleeping so...he doesn't remember anything particularly eventful.]

[dnoteworthy]

Not at all. Let's see now... [a meaningful pause, as if he was trying to remember what had transpired before he popped up here] I had been in a helicopter, then before I knew it... I just ended up here. There wasn't any indication of being abducted or transported, for that matter. [he wouldn't know that, so...] And what about you?

[legalapprentice]

[Please forgive the technologically uninclined. Clive wishes there were more people from the middle ages here so he isn't the only one completely confounded by everything here.] Please forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is a helicopter? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the term. It may be the case that you are from a far more technologically advanced society than I am.

Myself? The last thing I remember was going to sleep in my own bed, and I woke up here. I imagine abduction could be possible, but unlikely since my door's always locked. I suppose it's possible to break in through sheer destruction, but I would have woken up in that case. [Still, keeping people out of his room isn't really the primary concern there...]

[dnoteworthy]

Ah. It's basically a flying device that utilizes blades which rotate at high speeds, thus lifting it off the air. [huh. He realized that there are people from many different times here, but he didn't think he'll meet one from an earlier age so soon.]

Oh? I suppose it was most likely almost instantaneous, just as I have been brought here. How strange.

[legalapprentice]

[He has ridden one before, but it was actually a car modified by a crazy engineer. It was not a pleasant ride. Clive sort of shudders at the memory.] I guess I do have some idea of what it is then--so it must have become more widespread since then. [The first person Clive met was from a later age. He's somewhat wary of people claiming to be from the future.]

So...you didn't happen to be piloting this helicopter, right? [because you know, that can be kind of bad...given that you're here...]

[dnoteworthy]

[... ffff piloting. He'll laugh at that.] Oh no, no. That would have meant terrible news for the passengers.

[legalapprentice]

[Really? It's just like driving a car right? Right? (Granted, the professor kind of sucked at it too.)]

Ah, really? I'll have to take your word for it and not ever get in one with you piloting then.

There were other people on the helicopter with you? Are they also here?

[dnoteworthy]

[that's not really what he meant, but he'll just take it with a pinch of salt]

Just one of the two others. But he seems to be from a later time than me.

[legalapprentice]

That's odd. It would be much more efficient to take you both at once. [People from the same world but different timelines. Clive can live with that.]

I take it he isn't around?

[dnoteworthy]

He is. Just in another city, at the moment. [he might not seem very keen on meeting his other person]

[legalapprentice]

Oh. Which one? I'd like to ask him some things too, If you don't think he'll mind. [He just wants a excuse to talk to this guy, really.]

[dnoteworthy]

Violet. Though I suspect he might have moved from there since we last spoke.

[legalapprentice]

Hmm. [If he understands this right, the Pokegear should take care of the distance problem.]

And his name?

[dnoteworthy]

He goes by Ryuzaki.

Out of curiosity, though - why are you so interested in him? [he's got a few guesses on the reason behind it, but it's alright to ask either way.]

[legalapprentice]

Oh, I was going to ask how he got here, especially since you mentioned he was from your future.

I've only been in contact with one other person from my world, and she was [supposed to be dead] from very far in the past. I've heard of several theories of time travel, but it doesn't seem logical to travel backwards, even given all this.
