[Hello, fellow Sinnoh-vians. There is now a man staring at the camera with vivid blue eyes. At first glance, he seems relatively ordinary. He's dressed in pretty simple clothes, and he has no wild haircut or cool markings or anything. He really looks like the kind of guy you could bump into on the street and forget about later.]

[But when he speaks

I dunno, I figured it happened just because.

[He smiles at that, as if amused.]

Just because? So, you think things happen for the sake of them happening?

[windythings]

Some things. Since people don't necessarily have control over everything that happens to them, but then again, that kind of depends on how you see it.

[nos_servabit]

True. Some people believe in gods who control everything around them, and some think things happen because of chance. It really depends on what your personal beliefs are.

[Now that is an interesting question. And by the impression Nagi is getting, it's from an interesting person, too. The Castform hovering behind him peers at the feed from over his shoulder, as she's spied another pokémon on the screen.]

The more I think about it, the more I wonder, myself. From what I've heard about the pokémon and what some of them are capable of, I'm lead to believe that they needed us, and not the other way around, as welcome as a break from our usual lives may be for some.

[The Natu in Jacob's lap turns to the camera, staring at it as it tries to figure out what sort of Pokemon is over on the other side.]

That could be true. These Pokemon rely on us as we rely on other human beings. We may have been brought to provide support when there wasn't any before.

[The Castform is currently a Sunny Castform, that wobbles in place a little for lack of arms to wave with.]

Yes. Or maybe they didn't like what the humans here were doing, but I wonder if they really expect help from people who have enough on their plate back in their home worlds.

[The Natu, being the slightly arrogant thing that it is, just stares back and then proceeds to nestle in Jacob's lap, looking away from the camera.]

Perhaps. But you never know. If we were truly selected, it might have been for something we usually don't think about. A trait that, while worthless to us, might be important to them.

Um...

[...fate, huh.]

Well, maybe... I guess I've never really thought much about fate, haha. I'd... I'd think that there's some reason to this, though? I'm not sure if I can explain why I feel that way, though, because I guess I'm not sure why myself...

[nos_servabit]

Sometimes you have to trust your feelings, They can tell you more than what a cold logical mind can.

[A soft smile.] It's alright if you don't think about fate. Not many people do.

[video forever]

[puellainsomnio]

Ah, I guess so. Eheh, that sounds like something my mama would say. She's really smart, though.

I wouldn't normally think much about fate, but things have been... unusual, recently, so it seems like something I should think about...

[not_just_a_goof]

Huh.

Wow, that's kinda... a lot of deep stuff you are thinking about there. Uh, I figure we kinda picked to come here? Like at random and stuff. Just grab a couple of people, dump them here kinda deal. I don't think I could've decided anything in my life that could lead to this.

[nos_servabit]

Perhaps. It could be like choosing marbles out of a bag, but you have no idea what sort of marbles you will pull out since you are not looking...but who decides what sort of marbles to put in the bag in the first place?

[The man loves his metaphors.] Maybe, but then again, there might be something we naturally look over that might be something very special to someone here. Another man's trash is another man's treasure, so to speak.

[not_just_a_goof]

right.

[He is fifteen, man. He has never thought about this kinda stuff before.]

well, uh, maybe they didn't fill they marble bag in the first place? Like... it was just there and the grabbed from it?

we fucked up our game badly enough that apparantly it kicked us out
or something like that

but the swag comes back baby cant hold it down
a destiny is just an endpoint for some people
and for others its their whole damn story
i say i dont give a fuck if the pokemon needed me
i'm here now so theres no point bitching about it

[nos_servabit]

...

[A slight smile.] Ah, I think I talked to your sister. You two have a very important role in the game you were playing, if I remember correctly.

Well, you have a good attitude when it comes to this. Many people would refuse to go along with something like this, but you take it in stride. You don't let it bother you.

[stridercrime]

...
im gonna assume she told you about it
because other wise my creeper senses will go fucking crazy
striders gotta stride bro
its what we do
besides
theres not much more i can do
bitching wont get me anywhere
so you know me
but who the fuck are you
