[...Socks?

Oh well, maybe they can be used in an experiment or something.]

[pokaccenteballs]

[Tory's having trouble finding his present. He swears he checked every box that hadn't been taken, but his gift just isn't there.

Part of him really hopes someone didn't take them and he's just being paranoid.]

I LIVE

[trainersapphire]

[Sapphire looks at her box and opens it...only to surprise herself with new socks. Well she hasn't a new pair of socks in a while so...]

[flopfrown]

[Socks are totes cool, they're practical you know!

If Ingo showed expression, his face would be aglow.

Unfortunately for Ingo, the Island's mirth

Enjoys giving the poor Boss a bit less than he's worth.

So when he closely inspects his Island-gift haul

He'll find that his socks are several sizes too small.

GOD DAMMIT.]

[...Those socks do look a little small, Nuria has to admit. She's a few feet nearby with her own socks which...are a couple of sizes too big.

...Not that Nuria has the brightest idea that the socks go on her feet, and she's using them as gloves.]

...Those socks look a little small. Did the island give them to you?

[flopfrown]

[....dsfhd Nuria that is not where socks go DON'T YOU WEAR SOCKS?

Ingo is slightly abashed at being caught glaring holes into his gift.]

Ah. Yes, it did, and yes, they are...

[... .... .......] And on your hands, miss Nuria, are those yours...?

[deleteandrepeat]

[Actually, she doesn't! She's never seen a reason to, at least.

Nuria nods, looking to the socks closely.] ...Maybe you can give them back and ask for a larger pair. Do you think the island will let you do that?

[Looking to her hands when he asks, she nods.] Yes. I thought they would be more useful like this.

[...This was not Unova. This was not Unova at all.

Even with the Christmas present and the pair of socks that Shiro is putting on right now, she's worried and is looking around. The only ones around her are her Serperior, Musharna, Pawniard and Larvesta...she's definitely worried.]

This isn't...anywhere I recognize at all...

[flopfrown]

[oh my god it's a scared hilda-double FORGET ABOUT THE SOCKS THERE'S A MAIDEN TO BE SAVED REASSURED SHE'S NOT GOING CRAZY.]

Correct, Miss. I take it you just arrived? [And the Island gave her socks anyway? Wow, Island.]

[paleofcourage]

[OH SHOES WHO IS--oh. ...Phew. Shiro turned around really quick when he spoke, but at least she was relieved. Not someone she recognized, and not someone she didn't want to recognize. Good, good...]

Yes, I just...arrived. Is this anywhere...near Unova? ...Is there any way to get back?

[flopfrown]

Unfortunately not, to both questions. [He breathes deeply. Not quite a sigh, buuut...

ISLAND EXPLANATION HERE. Sorry, Shiro. :'D]
