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.

[Well it's not like Rakka's ever seen that many dogs in her lifetime (which was relatively short if you really got down to it).]

T-that doesn't seem very big. [Must be a small dog?] And, uh, wouldn't it hurt itself?

At least there are a lot of friendly people about ta answer questions, yeah?

[Ashley wants to say that there should be no way anyone could do that- get a rise out of it, fighting for your life, risking it like that in front of horrible monsters, things that would kill and eat you in a heartbeat.

But. She isn't looking to talk about that. And she doesn't think Yang would appreciate someone telling her something like that. So instead.]


Um, well... I've never really played those games hardcore...and not being able to see your Pokémon's stats really makes things difficult, but you can scan them, with your 'Gear, to see the level? I think...training as well as friendliness is important. Some Pokémon or moves just work better if they like you better.

...At least, that's what I think I remember, like I said I never really got into these. Beyond that, um...watch what it's not best at? Like, speed, or defense- or type ohhh, right, like fire doesn't match against water well.

[A light snort.] And knowing how RPGs work, there're probably...side-quests...

Sorry, sorry!!

[LOOK SOMETIMES SHE JUST. SAYS THINGS WITHOUT THINKING FIRST....]

We can do it now!! Why wait, right?

Ha, best thing that passes for luck here, right? [He beams.] But that's good. When yer still tryin' ta figure things out, havin' familiar faces grounds ya. Makes it easier ta deal with all the ridiculousness.

Of course, some folks come from pretty ridiculous places ta start with, and ain't too surprised.

[personal profile] rosetotheoccasion 2016-02-14 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I think most of the people there are newbies, like you and me. Not that there's anything wrong with that...! But they probably don't know much more than we do.
hashtagafreakingghost: save me for another day (tell me what i want to say)

[personal profile] hashtagafreakingghost 2016-02-15 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Kind of overwhelming, isn't it? I think that's why I could never get into the games, all the...numbers and stats, not enough story. [...] Joke's on me now, huh.

Anyway, you don't really have to do...everything? Or anything, I suppose. Hell, I'm just doing what I have to, but...if you want to play along with the game.

[... Oh. She can see the way Yang cringes. And "that house"...]

... You didn't like it when she called herself "mom" either, did you?

I feel you there.

[Not that Yang really needs any confirmation on that.]

I'll be there by the time you get there, I promise!
hashtagafreakingghost: speaking as i'm spoken to (waiting as i'm wanting to)

[personal profile] hashtagafreakingghost 2016-02-16 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
A leg up...? [Maybe she might. That's kind of weird. Thanks, Chris and Josh.]

...That's kind of how I look at it. I won't be real happy about this but if it strikes me...
charcoalfeather: (Default)

[personal profile] charcoalfeather 2016-02-16 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
I hope so... [She honestly can't be certain that a dog would be safe in that situation. Her anime is not that kind of anime!]

O-oh, yes. I'm a Haibane, or, at least I was. When I woke up here, I think I turned completely Human.

Clues.

[Ashley perks up. Oh. Ohhhh.]

That's right, there probably are aren't there? How we got here, how we can leave...it's all a regular mystery.

[When life is horrible, let's channel everything into understanding the unknown, that's how she works.]

Some of them do! But it seems to be more about territory and self-defense than anything else, I haven't seen any intentionally seek out people the way Grimm will.

And some even come right into the towns and cities without bothering anyone!

[Weird, but the good kind of weird.]
