 [The video feed clicks on, but at first all that can be seen are the familiar sights of New Bark Town. Then, shakily, the camera is straightened and a young woman’s face appears.]

[She seems to be very nervous, and her eyes are rapidly flitting around her surroundings in confusion. Her wide eyes finally meet the camera, and she shakily inhales

[This face. It can't be -- but it is-- but it isn't. But her face.

But the hair is different and the outfit. It reminds him a bit of Miss Fey. But--]

....Miss Hawthorne?

H-Hello? [Iris' face lights up at the sound of a voice but she gives the camera a strange look when she doesn't recognize the face behind it...]

Hello there! [Iris gives the young boy a weak smile] If I may ask, how do you know that name?

[miniworth]

[He reciprocates her look, having figured that she isn't Dahlia Hawthorne. But why does she look so much like her? Could they be related?]

....She's with a friend of mine, and I've spoken to her. Dahlia Hawthorne.

[Iris looks shocked at the mention of her sister and a look of hope, excitement and strangely, fear comes over her face.]

Dahlia? Dahlia is here too? Forgive me, but I must know, just who is she with?

[At first, Larry only hears a muffled version of the beginning of Iris's feed. A poor, frightened girl? That just won't do!

Larry checks out the feed to offer some guidance...]

Hey, don't cr--

Wait. It couldn't be...]

[That beautiful black hair, those delicate shy eyes, that angelic voice...

There was no doubt about it.]

Y-Y--

[Larry can't even choke out a word quite yet. Oh god, so many bad memories of that place, but this girl...this girl is still the only good thing about them all. He really didn't think he'd ever see her again.]

You're working it just fine!

[video]

[usedsubstitute]

That's good to know. Tell me, where exactly are we?

[video]

[yattagarasu]

I can't say exactly where, because I have no idea if we're in space or not, but this is Johto!

[video]

[usedsubstitute]

S-space? [Iris bites her lip in confusion and fear but seems to calm down a little at the mention of a name.]

Johto. I see. What kind of a place is it?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

[... Ahahahahhhah there was a nun named 'Sister Bikini' somewhere in the universe, that was amazing. .... oh yeah and there's a girl on the screen. Who looked sort of familiar, but then, Heather had only spoken to Dahlia (unknowingly, for the record) once before.]

Uh.

Hey there!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you're uh... probably not gonna be going home any time soon.

[Video]

[usedsubstitute]

Hello. W-Why would you say that? [Iris' voice takes on a tone of alarm and she looks ready to burst into tears.] Just what exactly is going on?!

[Video]

[foolishwren]

[U-uh oh. She didn't want this girl to CRY. So she sobered up a little.]

Uh-- hhm. Well... this place is called Johto. A lot of people are brought here and ... uh, no one knows how to get back yet.

[Video]

[usedsubstitute]

Johto... [Iris looks thoughtful and she seems to be calming down until...]

N-No way back? But surely someone must know what's going on?!

It's nice to see you again, Iris.

[You get the nice girl face for now. This will most likely change very soon.]
