[ tatsuya found himself in the music room playing guitar today, because all the random singing has put him in a bit of a musical mood. he's not a singer - that's eikichi's thing - but for some reason, at this very moment, he bursts out into enthusiastic song, despite the fact that he really should not be singing. as luck would have it, as he's

'My vanilla'...?

[what the FUCK is going on.]

[freila]

[ oh my god he doesn't even know ]

I don't...I've never heard a song like that before. It's not...me.

[freed]

[N is so confused it actually kind of hurts. just a little bit though.]

I'm quite certain it was you I heard singing...

[freila]

I was singing, but I didn't mean to.

[freed]

[he's just like UM???? because this guy is clearly nuts.]

I am afraid you aren't making any sense to me.

[freila]

[ MAYBE YOU SHOULD SAY YOU'RE NEW HERE, BUDDY ]

The castle. It made me sing. Like it's been doing to everyone today...I guess because it's April Fool's.

[freed]

[fuck you, he was gonna DONT FUCKING TELL HIM WHAT TO DO N IS A

FREE

BITCH

BABY.]

Does this castle really have that sort of ability?

[it's certainly not unheard of. his castle was pretty ballin', after all.]

I suppose I should mention I just arrived here and am unfamiliar with the customs of this place. Is this "April Fool's" also of this castle's design?

[freila]

[ ...oh. that explains things. lmao wow what a day to arrive. ]

You're new? Has anyone told you anything about this place yet?

[ and let me tell you, he is so fucking sorry if this is the first thing you had to see. ]

[freed]

[this is his first impression of the place. at least tatsuya has made it memorable.

very memorable.]

No. You are the first person I have spoken to since I arrived.

[freila]

Oh.

[ WELL. ]

Uh...you've been taken from your home. This is a magic castle called Paradisa...and you're stuck here until the castle decides otherwise. And it took something from you as payment.

That... cannot be. Surely, there must be some sort of mistake? To be taken from one's world, and by a castle no less-- such a thing is impossible. Isn't it?

[okay sure there aren't any castles named paradisa in unova and alright he definitely doesn't recognize the people or apparently the customs here and he noticed a little while ago that his poké balls were gone, so perhaps that's what was taken from him-- but being spirited away by a sentient castle? that sounds like something someone who's licked one too many politoeds would come up with.]

[freila]

You would think so. But it's...real enough.

[ the reality of something is questionable when you won't even remember it at home, but. in the here and now, it feels very real - the good stuff and the bad. ]

And sometimes it messes with us...and makes us do weird things. Like that.

[freed]

[that's all well and good and he'll probably come to grips with the fact that the beginning of his stay here is no joking matter, but right now there is something far more urgent bothering him, and he does his best to remain at least a semblance of calm.]

You mentioned that this castle takes things from you as payment... Tell me, is there anyway to confirm what was lost? I was not alone before I came here, my friends were with me. My pokèmon-- I must know if they are unharmed by my coming here.

Some people know immediately - it could be an item or an ability. Sometimes it takes longer...I still don't know what mine is. It must be a memory if it's taken this long.

[ and that makes him SO MAD. ]

[freila]

...Did you say Pokemon?
