Round 1 - [Action : New Bark City] - [Audio]

[ Action : Morning ]
[ When it came to blending in with the natives, Yang certainly looked the part. The only reason she had the jacket on in the first place was because it was much colder here and she was still feeling the heat of the combat high she left behind in the arena. It was with equal parts bewilderment, confusion, and irritation that she looked out at her surroundings, her mind reeling with trying to make sense of everything she had read, or heard from that ... that delusional woman in the house she left behind.

To make matters worse, her attention was constantly divided between her goal of gathering as much information on this town as possible and the faint half-bark half-growling of the "pet" that was close to the heels of her boots at all times.

Finally, Yang stopped and crouched down, adjusting the way her new bag slung off of her shoulder. ]
Look, pup. You're cute and all, and I've love to play with you, but I don't really have time for it right now. Okay? You feel me?

[ It certainly seemed to be listening, though talking to an animal and expecting it to comprehend everything she said wasn't what Yang expected at all. She was more just vocalizing her frustrations to the closest living soul.

She sighed, a thick cloud of steam in the chill winter air. ]
I don't even have any treats for you. At least, I don't think I do... [ Yang thought about it a minute. There had been supplies, but nothing you should feed a dog.

Then Yang withdrew her hand from within the travel bag holding onto small red-and-white sphere. ]
Hmm, actually. I never tried to open this. Looks like one of those surprise egg toy prizes. I wonder what's inside...

[ The Growlithe made a gruff, curious sound, and leaned in a bit to sniff at the ball. Yang tapped the button on it front and made as if to show the puppy the contents first. The ball grew in her hand, which surprised her and caused her to drop it. It popped open with a sound and then, after a flash of light, the dog was just... gone! Sucked right into the ball by some kind of strange energy.

Yang did not take that well. ]
WHOA! What the— [ That was. Not supposed to happen. Yang's eyes were wide and she rose her feet. Time to panic! ] Ohmygod! WhatdidIdo? DidIkillit? Ididn't—! Ahh crap!!! [ She bent down to pick up the ball once more, turning it this way and that. Does she dare open it? Can someone close to her explain what just happened?!? HELP! ]



[ Audio : Open ]
[ Yang sounded much calmer when she finally made her general broadcast. It was said that this would be a good way to reach out to anyone here whether they were new like her, well informed as to how this place worked, or (hopefully) familiar voice from home. ]

Uhh, I was told I should probably introduce myself here over this network, but it feels kind of weird to do that. Not like I expect anyone to know who I am. But... [ A pause, there is some growling in the background. Eh. Here goes nothing? ]

I'm Yang Xiao Long. If the words "Remnant", "Beacon Academy", or "Vytal Festival" mean anything to you, call me back right away. It's kind of urgent.

If you're the one that brought me here, well, thanks for not letting me get to enjoy my victory first? Niiiice timing! [ A grumble. ] Jerks.

[ Yang sighed quietly. She's usually much better with people, but it's hard to feel up to making new friends right off the bat when freshly displaced. Give her a minute. She'll come around. ]


Otherwise, uh .... hi, I guess? Someone talk to me. I don't even know if I did this right.

[Wow, okay, touchy subject, not touching that again with a ten-foot pole.]

Uh. [Great, nice recovery.] I mean, it's less me doing anything and more hooking you up with a friend of mine who did me the same when I was in your position, but she's cool. She said it's fine. So at least you don't have to worry about camping on the ground for a while.

You...mean New Bark? Nooo, I'm.... [A heavy sigh.] I'm...camping. On Route 29. Few days of walking until the next city. Gotta get to a nice warm bed somehow. [Someone get her a cheat code please.]

[That... well. It's rare for Ruby too look legitimately angry or upset, but a shadow crosses her face at the mention of Mercury. She grits her teeth and takes a deep breath before speaking.]

That's what you last remember? 'Cause... that's not what I last remember. A lot happened after that.

[Geez, it's still so weird talking about things this way...]

If Blake's here, she's doing a really good job of hiding. I don't think she would go that long without contacting her team. Maybe she would have before, but not now.

I haven't heard from anyone else from home.

[...Well, Rakka was just about to psych herself up for her journey today, something that took an entire night honestly.

.... That being said, she didn't feel exactly right just passing by this panicking woman. It would be. Awkward, if she left. And wrong, too! Obviously she had to at least offer some help.

Umm, is everything okay?

[Obviously no. But, y'know. You gotta ask.]

Like I said, this game is really weird. You can also teleport, but only certain Pokemon can do that.

I feel that. Got any other exposition-type questions before I finalize that shit out for you?

Yes... I mean, besides my little...candle, her name's Agatha. And two people sent their much stronger Pokémon tooo...watch over me, I guess? [Another person might take offense to the concern, but no, Ashley is fully aware of the person she is and her limitations and yeah this is not ideal.] I didn't want to, but I just wanted to get somewhere where I could get a room to stay in.

Oh yeah, you definitely have maps, of both regions! I totes recommend Goldenrod, it's a shopping paradise!
hashtagafreakingghost: i'm hearing you whisper alibis (and through the wall)

[personal profile] hashtagafreakingghost 2016-02-11 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
It really was... [...She thinks one of the Pokémon tagged along because he was guilty about making her cry but. You know. She'll still take it.] Still kind of surprised they did, but I'm not arguing it.

So you...work as an escort?

[wait]

Imeantosay- you protect people, that sounds like- a, uh, dangerous job.

Cool. TTYL, then.
charcoalfeather: (What's wrong with this ring?)

[Well it's not too hard to get Rakka's attention. The girl is just as curious as the next anime protagonist.]

Your dog...? [Gasp!] It disappeared? Oh no!

[Wait. The pokeball! Rakka peered at it curiously.] Umm, are you sure it's not in there?

You and Ruby both ended up with dogs, actually. Someone has a sense of humor.

[That actually gets a laugh out of Weiss.]

Exactly. She would try to contact us as soon as she could.

I'm glad that there are - good - familiar faces here, too. I'm still going to worry about home, but not quite as much, if that makes any sense?
