✓ 1 town that isn't ashland [Video/Action for New Bark Town]

-- winter? Last time I checked, it was spring. Not that you'd be able to tell in Ashland-- rainy day central.

[Blip. Looks like it's that time again, Route.

The 'gear is focused on a pair of feet, clad in bright yellow rain boots, attached to a pair of ridiculously spindly legs. Glimpses of white claws can be caught at the screen's edges as the 'gear

[Indeed it was that time of the week again!]

Welcome to Pokemon Town!

[That is...so helpful, Jack. So helpful.]

[video]

[exp_loraline]

Aah--!

[Th-that is a real person on the screen, isn't it? ... How do I shot technology?] Wh-who are you? [Excuse her as she inspects the screen a little closer now, squinting. Just checking that you don't have buttons for eyes, don't mind her! The Sneasel on her shoulder rolls his eyes.]

[quickattackjack]

[Old Jack IS rather scrawny! And...wears dark colors. And there's that whole Burton-esque dark rings around the eyes thing...but other than that he looks cheerful and sort of amused.]

I didn't mean to startle you! I just noticed a new face on the 'Gear Comm and thought I'd say hello! Oh-- and I'm Jack.

[video]

[exp_loraline]

[No buttons; that's a relief. She relaxes, and gives Jack another look-over. The little oddities about him don't seem to perturb her -- she is from a place where everyone looks like a caricature, after all-- and she even looks a little interested now.]

Oh. Well, okay... I'm Coraline.

[Leaning closer to the screen:] Do you live here...? What is this place anyway?

[video get!]

[psychunaut]

No fair! You started somewhere else! [Raz said, over the 'gear, his goggles firmly over his eyes. Also, your Pokemon already looks more useful then the Slowpoke who's back to holding his 'gear. In mid-air. Which isn't visible, if you weren't on Raz's side. Well, you might be able to tell that something's up by the fact he's holding his own egg in his arms, which any good Pokemon nerd would be able to tell was a Ralts egg.

Yes, Raz hasn't left Team Rocket base yet.]

[video get!]

[exp_loraline]

[She just blinks confusedly at the 'gear for a moment, glancing briefly at her Sneasel. The Sneasel glances right on back and rolls his eyes. Coraline folds her arms over her chest, frowning.]

Well, so-rry I got dropped off in Wackoland in an area different than yours! [HMPH.

... But she quickly loses the sarcasm; she's not gonna make many friends being snippy, as her mom always said.] Look... I don't even know where I am, okay?

[video]

[psychunaut]

Neither do I! I just know I've become a villian! [Raz is also not in a good mood. Damnit, he's meant to be saving camp, not... being in Team Rocket and stealing things.] And I can't go back home yet, either!

[video]

[exp_loraline]

Yeah, it's like...

... Wait-- Become a villain...? [She raises an eyebrow.] How do you become a villain without knowing it?

[video]

[newhero]

[there is indeed a boy inside that mysterious device-- he's stuck, help! ... or, you know, maybe he's just calling from Goldenrod.]

Hey!

[video]

[exp_loraline]

[She looks a little startled by the voice at first, then takes a moment to inspect her screen a bit closer. No button eyes on this one either.]

Uh... Hello. [A quirk of a grin. She likes your hair. ;w;] So I guess you can hear me on this thing too, huh?

[video]

[newhero]

[surprisingly, Sora's having a rather tame hair day today-- you should see it when he first wakes up.]

Yup! Everybody with a pokégear can hear you. [and, so he's not just another face:]

My name's Sora.

[video]

[exp_loraline]

[It'd still look a bit better than Wybie's hair usually does!]

Oh... [She blinks, wide-eyed.] Everybody...? So... this 'gear thing... is like a really high-tech walkie-talkie? [Her parents won't even let her have a cellphone; this is magic!]

Oh! I'm Coraline. Nice to meet you.

[video]

[islandshore]

Oh, there's rain here. A while back, there was even a flood.

Just don't expect any for a while; seems like the snow's here to stay for now.

[video]

[exp_loraline]

A flood? Yikes...

[She's getting less and less unnerved as she speaks to more people; and Riku doesn't have button eyes either! She grins.] That's okay. I like snow a lot more than rain anyway. [Reminds her of good ol' Michigan; she'll definitely have a frollic-fest in the snow later, after she sorts a few things out.]

So... Were you kidnapped too?

[video]

[islandshore]

I wouldn't call it kidnapped, but I've been stuck here for more than six months now.

[However, it's been an exciting six months, so he doesn't sound too irritated.]

[video]

[exp_loraline]

Six months? [S-siiigh...] Oh boy.

[She raises an eyebrow.] Shouldn't you be more... freaked out or something?

[video]

[monkeyflirt]

Sorry sweetheart, but you're definitely not home.

[video]

[exp_loraline]

[She sighs.]
Yeeeah, kinda got enough hints for that... Home doesn't have weird mutant creatures running around everywhere.

[Pause.] And... no one knows a way out yet, right?

[video]

[monkeyflirt]

Guess it depends on where you come from, then. [He's kinda used to weird mutant creatures -- but nice weird mutant creatures? Mostly new.]

Nope. We're kinda stuck here -- but for the most part, this place isn't too bad.

[video]

[exp_loraline]

Yeah, I mean... No one's attacked me or anything yet... [Hasn't tried to sew buttons into her eyes...]
But I still don't get it-- what do they want from us?
