tarotcards | Dream 001 [VIDEO/ACTION IN NEW BARK TOWN]

[The video feed starts off with a really shaky start. The only sound you hear at first is that horrible muffling sound as fingers keep trailing over the mic. It’s clear that the owner has almost no idea what he’s doing. It finally focuses onto a young man with silver hair. He seems pretty calm for someone who just woke up in Johto, but still pretty confused.]

I think I got it on...This looks like one of Yosuke’s handheld game consoles, though I don’t remember a camera on it...

[He ponders to himself for a bit before shrugging, looking towards the camera.]

If this video is going out, does anyone know where I am? It doesn’t look like Inaba or the city...

I’m pretty used to this stuff and I wouldn’t surprised if this was a dream. Not like I didn’t have weird dreams just like this before, but the “mom” thing is new, and that I'm wearing my Inaba school uniform. I probably just fell asleep on the train.

[He shrugs once again, but keeps his small smile on. Weird dreams; he had them before. This wasn’t any worse than when Igor called him in his sleep. This dream was pretty mild compared to the flaming luchadors and the Velvet room, so whatever. Still kinda weird he has his uniform on. He came from the train where he was wearing normal clothes, right? Then what's up with the uni?]

But if anyone can tell me what’s going on, I’ll really appreciate it. Even if it's a dream, I would like to see if I can find any familiar faces...

Thank you in advance.

[And with that the feed ends. He's pretty relaxed about all this. I mean, c'mon, crazy dreams are just crazy dreams. Move along folks. Nothing to see here.]

[Souji just nods and listens like a good student. Alright, he thinks he got most of that.]

I never played the game before, but I heard of it. Yosuke probably knows of it.

Alright, I'll start to move to the next town as soon as I look around here. There's not much to see here though.

There isn't; I searched it thoroughly when I arrived. I suspect that the only one capable of providing more information is the "mom" and no one has been able to access her after the original meeting.

Hm, my "mom" kicked me out of the house as soon as I woke up, and she won't let me back in. I guess we need to ask other people around here.

[Oh hey, there's a scientist right over there!]

There's a guy with a lab coat around here. Maybe I can ask him for some info.

If that is the scientist I am thinking of, he will be more helpful with questions about Pokémon than questions about how to go home.

It never hurts to ask though.

[Now excuse him for a minute as he goes to ask. Hey there, can you tell me how to-- Yeah, that's nice, but-- Alright, Pokemon are cool, I know bu-- Can I say somethin-- No, I don't want to see your-- wait, where are you goin-- ....okay, have a defeated Souji looking back at the camera now.]

...Well, at least I now know what Pokemon are now...

[Naoto... doesn't have much sympathy. Well, she does but she also has enough distance that it's funnier than frustrating.]

...Don't worry, Souji-senpai. I had the same luck with him.

Are all of the inhabitants here like this? I talked to another person earlier and all she could talk about was Pokemon.

Yes, this whole world is mad for Pokémon. Unfortunately for us.

Guess it's like a huge thing over here. I remember the games being pretty big when we were kids. It's probably permanent here.

That does seem like the case. After all, Pokémon are quite real and have all the abilities ascribed to them in the game.

Have you played the games before, Naoto-kun?

I played one when I was younger, but I'm afraid my memory of the details is often hazy.

I figured. It's been a while since the games came out, didn't they?

Mm, yes. It's been quite some time.

I'll be surprised if anyone still remembers it. Is there?

Some seem to remember more than others, but I have noticed that we come from different time periods. I have met one woman from two years behind us, and more from further back.

Hm, it seems like time here really doesn't work properly at all...

...How long was it since you saw me leave Inaba?

Ah... let me think a moment. It was almost a week for me.

Hm, it looks like you're from a different time than me. It was only about half a day since I last saw you and the others...

At least it is a smaller difference than some others. When Kanji was first here he was from shortly after Rise's rescue.

[Naoto blushes. Yeah, that had been very awkward]

[That...That just grabs a small smile from him. He even had to repress a chuckle actually.]

How did that turn out?

Not-- ah, well, he disappeared soon after.
