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.
usedglaciate: (let me explain)

this is going straight to video, let's be real

Yang? It's Weiss. Ruby, Penny, and I are all here, but we're a couple of cities away. We'll see about getting you here as soon as we can, though let me warn you now, Teleport is really disorienting. You're still in New Bark, right?
callbacks: (im on the phone christ)

[personal profile] callbacks 2016-02-10 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Holy shit, am I gonna be doing this all week? We really gotta talk to somebody about building a train or something between New Bark and Cherrygrove, Jesus Christ.

[personal profile] usedglaciate 2016-02-10 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
I think we must have been split up somehow. Ruby and I woke up in New Bark at about the same time, and it's been about a day since that happened. Penny had been here for a few months, and a friend of hers helped us out. She has a Pokémon - the little creatures in the red-and-white balls - that can teleport things and people.

I think the big things you need to know are that time apparently freezes back home, time acts really strangely here, and things should be okay till we get back.
callbacks: (facepalm)

[personal profile] callbacks 2016-02-10 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's the next town over. Sorry, I've just been ferrying girls left and right trying to make sure everyone's in place for their big hugtown reunions and I'm not actually that good at logistical stuff? It's kind of stressing me out. I don't like bugging people for favors.

[Hhhhhh. Maybe Wart can just zip back to New Bark himself, this time? He is fully evolved...]

Just to check in, you're part of Ruby's posse, right?
callbacks: (yeah karkat im listening)

[personal profile] callbacks 2016-02-10 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I asked my friend to bring her and Weiss up here to Violet City so they could reunite with Penny. Look, I'm not gonna make you hoof it out there in the cold while the rest of your squad's already here. There's rude and then there's rude.
callbacks: (sports)

[personal profile] callbacks 2016-02-10 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Uhh, no, I don't think I met a Blake...

[Nope, just Ruby, Weiss, and Penny.]

Sometimes it takes a while for people's friends to show up, though. Like, it's just me and Jade here right now from my world, and she didn't turn up until about a month after I got here.
usedglaciate: (...well...)

[personal profile] usedglaciate 2016-02-10 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It does. I'll be the first one to admit that.

[She takes a deep breath of her own.]

No, you didn't get hit nearly hard enough to get a concussion. It is a lot to take in.
callbacks: (cross slash)

[personal profile] callbacks 2016-02-10 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Could be. Ruby and Weiss both made pretty big stirs over the network the other day, though, so if she's biding her time in the woods somewhere. she's missing out on the party.

You said your name's Yang?

Yang!!!

[Hey, hope you like a video screen full of little sister, because Ruby's nearly smooshing her gear to her face in her excitement and utter relief]

Oh gosh, you're okay! The people here said time was weird, or it stopped, or something I'm still not really sure... but the Grimm were everywhere and I couldn't help but be super worried!

[... Yikes, sorry about that word vomit. And uh. Instant timeline confusion.]

But... you. You really are okay, right?
callbacks: (bishie sparkle)

[personal profile] callbacks 2016-02-10 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
I'm Dave. Penny and I've been travel buddies since...November? Something like that. Couple months now. Bet she'll be stoked as hell to see you.
callbacks: (twins (but im older))

[personal profile] callbacks 2016-02-10 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah, shoot.

[Questions are fine, questions he can deal with.]
callbacks: (thats for the birds)

[personal profile] callbacks 2016-02-10 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yyyyeahp, that's exactly what I'm saying. I don't know what the people who live here actually call their planet, but mostly I just go with PokéWorld. Like Sea World except with superpowered cartoon creatures. And I'm not from Remnant but I'm not from here, either. People get pulled from all over, we've got a pretty crazy distribution of homeworlds from what I can tell.

[personal profile] rosetotheoccasion 2016-02-10 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
... Oh.

[Ah... yeah. That... that definitely snuffs out that excitement. At least Ruby pulls back to hold her gear at a good enough distance now?]

Yeah, it's... weird is a good word. Do you not remember some of the stuff that's happened, then?
