What a magical place I have arrived in, and at such an unusual time too. I must say, I was quite alarmed at first, awakening in an unknown location and with all this commotion no less-- but after spending a few days here, I see that getting settled will not be as daunting as I had imagined.

Pokewhat?

[he knows he's going to need to get used to most people here not knowing what pokèmon are, but he can tell it's going to take awhile...]

Pokèmon are creatures indigenous to my world. I have been told they are the equivalent of "animals"? Their most noteworthy use is in battles, where trainers catch and raise them to compete with each other.

[since this person doesn't seem to be familiar with them, he sees little point in educating him on the benefits of pokèmon liberation among other things, instead keeping the explanation simple. as much as it saddens him to admit it, there's little point in partaking knowledge that won't be of any use to anyone, much less himself.]

[waterproofed]

So you make animals fight each other? Isn't that against animal rights laws and stuff?

[freed]

[you're breaking his balls, man. he's still not quite sure where he stands on the issue of pokèmon battles, although at this point he doesn't find them completely and utterly deplorable as he once did.]

These battles are not for the sake of harming each other. They are usually friendly in competition, and the purpose is to help trainers and Pokèmon alike understand each other better.

You want to hear about friendships?

[ why... ]

♡DICKTATED RIGHT BACK AT YOU SEXY THANG.

[freed]

Yes. I have but one human friend and I have a feeling I won't find him here. I am not particularly knowledgeable about human friendships, as you can see, so it would please me to hear about them and perhaps gain my own understanding on their importance.

[he's not aware of the fact he sounds like a fucking alien or something, but it's all true. N isn't exactly willing to partake his life story onto this guy, but he figures that much is safe with him.]

LMFOA DICKTATED i'm 12

[ it's okay, tatsuya doesn't know much about friendships period. he has the best friends he could ever ask for - back home, anyway - and he's still not sure if he's being the best friend he can be to them. he does what he can, though, and (quietly) hopes like hell they won't leave him...again. ]

My friends aren't here either.

[ well that's a bit cruel to say, since he's been friendly with some people...but no one can ever replace maya, jun, lisa, and eikichi. ]

What do you want to know?

what was that youre 18???? p e r f e c t .

[the closest thing N has to a best human friend is touya, and even then it wouldn't surprise him if it turned out that the other boy didn't feel the same. what little he does know about friendship, he has only shared with pokèmon, and as well as he understood them, they certainly couldn't replace human relationships.]

That's unfortunate, but perhaps it is for the best.

[it would be kind of shitty to wish one's friends away from the safety of their home and into a strange new place after all.

he makes a contemplative noise. he has many questions.]

These friendships you have... have they enriched your life as I assumed they would?

[onlyanapple]

[Ignoring that stuff about friendships completely]

I suppose, if you must. I have an Ekans.

[freed]

[what's the matter, buddy? not a fan of rainbows and butterflies and friendship and great big hugs?]

Ekans, you say? A fine Pokèmon indeed. Are you this Ekans' trainer?

[onlyanapple]

[No. Not even a little. Allergic, don't you know]

Well, I'd hardly call myself her trainer, snakes tend not to be owned by anyone. She just...lives in my room.

[freed]

[that's quite unfortunate.]

I see. Still, you two must be quite close if you're able to distinguish her gender. Is there somewhere I can meet the two of you? Wherever she is most comfortable would be for the best.

[her_mouse_jesty]

I would love to talk about friendships! Some of my friends were already here when I arrived, but I also managed to make some new ones.

[freed]

Were they? That's quite fortunate for you. Surely, familiar faces must make adjusting to a new environment a bit easier. I hope I am as fortunate as you are and are able to make a few friends as well.

[human friends, even, not the furry kind who can only say their own names.]

[her_mouse_jesty]

That can start right now! Why don't you and I become friends? My name is Minnie Mouse.

[freed]

Oh? It would be my pleasure to become your friend, Minnie Mouse. I am N.

Hey, welcome to the castle. I don't have any Pokemon myself, but there's always a couple up for adoption at the Daycare in town!

[freed]

Is that so? It does not seem as if Pokèmon are native to this place, but there seems to be quite a few. Tell me, where did they come from?

[he's a little disappointed to hear that pokèmon are abandoned even in strange, otherwordly nexuses but he supposes it's a fact of life. it's a good thing he's here to adopt the shit out of the ones in the daycare now!!!!!]

[encryptedlock]

Let's see, it was about two and a half years ago, I think? Anyway, this place can...change. Like, one day we'll go to sleep in the castle and wake up on a cruise ship to an island full of dinosaurs or a school dormitory. And one time, everybody woke up in a hotel in "Kanto" with their own Pokemon and a "Pokedex". [This was a little before he got here, but enough of York's friends were there that he's researched it a little.] And I guess some people caught some more while they were there?

A week later, it turned back to this place and about half the Pokemon turned into little plushies and the other half stayed, only without their weird powers. That Christmas, a couple of them got their powers back.

--Oh yeah, and I guess if you leave a male and a female at the Daycare, sometimes they'll find an egg.

[freed]

Ah.

[he supposes that such a thing shouldn't come as a surprise to him. this place is supposedly a nexus, right? he can't say he's too hopeful about the prospect of this place returning his pokèmon to him since it seems that they only arrive under certain conditions-- conditions which the whims of the castle controlled.]

Some of this is quite interesting. For example, leaving a male and female Pokèmon of the same breeding group in certain conditions will also yield an egg. I wonder if there is a reason for the castle allowing Pokèmon to propagate their species here, yet rob them of their battling abilities...

[well, he doubts this guy knows or cares all that much. he's mostly talking to himself.]

Where are my manners-- thank you for this information. Prior to arriving here, I had my own Pokèmon with me. They seem to be amiss however, and I am quite worried for their safety. If Pokèmon are acquired through other means here, however, I cannot help but wonder if mine were truly confiscated or if taking them is my "loss".
