[The screen fizzles on, all to show Umi leaning over a rail, yelling something off screen.]

Stop going so far! You think you won't get pulled out to sea?!

[Apparently she planned to talk to the viewer, but the unseen swimmer distracted her. So it takes a second before she looks to the screen again.]

Hi. I'm mostly doing this to tell Hikaru I'm in the city called "Cherrygrove", and I want to know if you're close yet. If not, I'm tired of sitting still, so I'll meet you on the road.

-but I wanted to ask just, anybody.

[While talking, she's sat down on a bench, right between a pair of eggs - both a light blue with white markings. But the colortones differ, and Umi pointedly leans away from the one making a ":)" with the white.]

How many of these Pokémon do you keep? Do you take them all into battles and make them all strong? Or do you pick and choose the ones you work with? And, the eggs. How many of these do you hatch and raise at once?

I have enough troubles with one, but if I need to keep more, I have these to work with. But still

[...and she's noticed her Piplup has swum too far, so sorry for the sudden lost-patience noise and abrupt call end.

For those who happen to pass her by in person, though, they'll get a treat of Umi trying to coax her penguin, and sweet talk her to shore. And failing miserably.]

It's a pleasure to meet you. I've heard lots of nice things about that 'Tokyo' and 'Japan' place.

My home is called the Disney Kingdom.

Disney, huh?

[And she's staring a little closer. Because, if she were who she suspected, somehow related to a certain mouse.

Wouldn't she look more like a Pokémon herself?]

I've never heard of that before- as a country, or world.

...well.

Hmmm? Is something wrong?

... Oh, dear, hee hee. Do you 'recognize' the name?

((OOC: No worries~ Just wanted to let you know since Hikaru's already smashed it with her.))

Of course!! But that can't be the Disney you...

[Oh, tenuous delivery of silly questions.]

Isn't Minnie Mickey Mouse's girl? But. That makes no sense!

I've gotten this a lot. Yes, Mickey and his friends do exist. But we had no idea that other worlds knew about us! This world turned me human, that's why I'm not a mouse.

No way... Well, it's not the strangest I've heard.

But, if you're from another world and that world is what I think of with Disney- Why are you in movies in my world?

I'm not sure why, but it doesn't really bother me. I'm glad we can bring joy to others.

...that's one way to look at it...

[Definitely not the "People are watching my life?!" she would supply.]

How often do people know you here, before you even meet?

It's a fairly frequent occurrence. But it's a nice way of making us friends before we even meet!

If you want to look at it that way.

But - and I'm no expert on Disney - but the "Minnie" I heard of wasn't from an actual kingdom.

The Minnie and others you know aren't exactly like what we really are. I am Queen of the Disney Kingdom, Mickey is my king, Donald is our mage, and Goofy is the captain of the knights.

...that is different!! And here I thought the kingdom castle was Cinderella's. Or maybe that's another change.

I never expected to meet a queen here. [Familiar mouse or otherwise.]

I never expected to meet anyone here, honestly. There's all sorts of amazing and wonderful people here.

-I have heard from a lot of doozies...

But nobody I've heard from is a "native", now that I think about it. At least on calls.

Indeed! Most everyone you will talk to is from another world entirely.

-are any of them ever of the same world? Both pulled here?

Certainly, there are plenty of people who have their friends and family from their world here. After all, your dear Hikaru is here!

That's true! And it sounds like anyone can show up, so...

All I need now is for Fuu to appear!

Is that another friend of you and Hikaru?

That's right. The three of us were traveling together.

How wonderful. I'm sure you'll be reunited again.

For sure! One way or another.
