Hey! This better be working, because like I asked that woman... What is going on?!

[So sorry for the sudden yelling, Johto. There's one angry girl on the line, hiding her confusion behind, well. The volume.]

Yes yes, it's nice to be back in some place with some sense of reality...

[As she quiets down a soft, constant “Pip! Pip! Pip!” can be heard in the background, unheard or unacknowledged by the girl talking.]

But, I was supposed to be inside a shrine, not running around some quaint little town with animals as weird as Mokona! It's probably that thing's fault to begin with. When I find that marshmallow-

[She's mumbling to herself now, making the background cries all the more noticeable. Enough that the caller snaps at the source.]

Would you quit doing that?! I don't know what you want!!

[One last “Pip!” and out goes the call. Please allow five seconds for ears to stop ringing.]

Then you just have a bossy one, plain and simple.

Shouting just makes everyone else annoyed that their gear is going off and it's some whiny voice new to the world. If you suck it up and ask without screaming, someone will answer and fill you in.

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

-that would make sense if I wanted to settle here, but I'm not planning to stick around!

I'll be more than grateful to the person who fills in how to leave, thank you.

[video]

[shadowdive]

You don't have a choice. This world sucks people in whenever it feels like it, and people don't get to decide when they leave.

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

Oh, is that right?

Where's that coming from?

[video]

[shadowdive]

From being here for the last year and a half, idiot. I wouldn't spout this crap if it weren't true.

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

Id- why you.

You've seen no one coming and leaving on their own all this time, and assume it can't happen?

[video]

[shadowdive]

It doesn't, because whoever is pulling the strings doesn't let it happen.

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

Well excuse me for not giving up so fast!

[video]

[shadowdive]

I didn't give up so much as decide I like being alive.

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

...what are you saying? We get hurt if we try?

[video]

[shadowdive]

That some people don't want to "find" the way home, because they're dead in their worlds.

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

..................

[Oh wow is she talking to a dead man??]

...then, then they can stay! I didn't say I want to make everyone leave! Just that I don't want to be stuck!

[video] i am so sorry umi kjgdfjakgld

[shadowdive]

Well, you're unfortunately stuck. Just like when those people who don't want to leave, get forced to leave anyway.

[video] no need to worry NO PAIN IS CONTAINED

[learnedwaterpledge]

-I WON'T ACCEPT THAT.

Even if it's true, what do you expect me to do, give up?! I'll find my way back to my friends and Cefiro- And on my terms!

[video]

[shadowdive]

The friends might come here, if that's what you're worried about. [Actually, the name Mokona sounds familiar..]

What is "Mokona", by the way?

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

...he's a small marshmallow blob. Clef left him to guide us back in Cefiro...

[Now whether that was successful or not? To Be Decided.]

[video]

[shadowdive]

A marshmallow blob? Pfft. I don't see why Hikaru named her Cyndaquil after that then, she should have waited for a Ditto. [Mumbling. Oh yeah I know some girl you might know, Umi-]

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

-hey.

[If she could crawl closer to hear over a network video...]

What did you just say?

[video]

[shadowdive]

There's a girl named Hikaru here to named her starter after a "Mokona". I'm wondering if they're the same thing; probably not, since Cyndaquil's don't look like marshmallows.

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

[Cyndaquil, schmyndaquil! He's uttered the name she thought!]

Mokona or not, that has to be her!!

Hikaru's stuck here, too? Where?!

[video]

[shadowdive]

Red haired, kind of derpy, talks about friendship? [Let's make sure we're on the same page here.] Last I heard, she was heading to Olivine City. [Because he said that's where he is, when liar liar pants on fire..]

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

-don't call her derpy.

[And yet she acknowledges that Hikaru's who he described. Whoops.]

How far away is Olivine?

[video]

[shadowdive]

She is. Hopelessly naive too. [Yep.]

Too far from New Bark Town. Probably a months worth of travel, walking on foot.

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

...perfect.

Then I'll just have to focus completely on finding her!

[video]

[shadowdive]

You could just call her. She'll meet you partway, I'm sure.
