New arrival in New Bark Town

[Video]

If this is someone’s feeble attempt at levity, I am not at all amused.
[Having just arrived in this unfamiliar town, the Marchioness is surveying the vicinity paying particular attention to the other new arrivals. Her features are severe, her lips tightly pursed into a frown. Not aware that she’s currently being recorded she turns toward the ( Read more... )

Hello… Ms.?

[Said merely to attract her attention to the video now playing on the PokeGear. ]

All of this can be a little surprising at first, I still haven’t been able to discover why we have been brought here, but nothing about this place seems overtly malicious. So you don't have to worry too much about being a hostage.

[The voice startled her, however she managed not to make a spectacle of herself while she looked for the owner of the voice. She drew the pokegear upwards once more and scrutinized what was displayed on the screen. She raised an eyebrow.. apparently men prided themselves on looking indecent in this place. What was with those fringes that were long enough to dip in front of this man's eyes?]

Dispensing with the pleasantries already?

[She pointed out the lack-of-an-introduction on his part]

I'm Marchioness Frances Middleford, to whom am I speaking?

You're implying that this happens often. Kidnapping on such a large scale... [Must have come to the attention of various officials. It was a puzzlement that none of them were doing their duties.] Sheer incompetence.. [The last part was said more to herself]

[Ah…! One of those types. He switches easily enough from a more informal style of speech to that of a practiced politician. ]

I am sorry, Marchioness Middleford. My intention was only to gain your attention and allay some of your concerns before continuing with the pleasantries.

I am Commander Eagle Vision from Autozam. Unfortunately kidnappings like this are really common here, but I haven’t been able to discover the purpose why or even met the kidnaper themselves. This clearly isn’t being done for political or monetary reasons.

[It's an improvement at the very least]

Yes of course Commander Vision. Given the current situation your decision was quite logical.

Then what are we expected to do in the meantime? [Emphasis on "expected" since she has no intention of complying with the perpetrators wishes]

It seems to depend on where you arrived. [Looks around at the scenery behind the lady. ] Since you are in New Bark Town you would likely have been instructed to ‘go on a Pokemon journey to become a Pokemon master’… or something similar to that.

[Pulls out the manual the bag came with, and holds it up in view of the lens]

Then I suppose this should contain all the information I require?

[Frances hadn't noticed it before, not in the habit of digging through others possessions but seeing how everyone had there own bags, they were apparently meant for each person]

I believe nothing is better than first hand experience but that book should be able to give you a very complete view of the basics.

And if you run into a question that you can’t find the answer to in there just ask over the PokeGear. Most people have been very helpful about answering questions from new arrivals.

[A light smirk tugs at the corner of her lip]

Then we are of the same opinion. All the same I will study this with renewed assiduity, and refrain from asking anything further until which time I have completed that task.

[Pokegear? So that's what this thing is called..]

There is still however a few articles I would like to discuss with you. The first being... where did you say you were from? It sounded like Autozam, but as such I have never heard of such a country, perhaps I heard incorrectly?

You didn’t hear incorrectly at all, I did say Autozam. That is the name of the world I come from.

[Smiles at~]

Where did you come from?

I see. Does everyone on your planet possess such a droll sense of humor?

[Scrutinizes his expression]

Seeing how you responded to my query I'm under no obligation to answer yours, however.. I have nothing to hide. I reside in England.

You… haven’t heard of traveling between worlds before…?

[Hates to point out the obvious but… ]

Since you are on a new world is it really so strange to believe that can happen? Or does England have Pokemon?

There is nothing so foreign here that it could not be found on Earth--

[Then he mentions the Pokemon..]

.. Those creatures being the one exception.

I know some young ladies who come from Earth.

[Maybe some commonalities would help. ]

Though they came from a place called ‘Tokyo’.

[Young ladies? How old are you? There better not have been any impropriety..]

Then you are at least aware of that world.

[Okay this.... doesn't help much]

Japan is a fair distance from England, however my nephew does employ a servant with ties to that country.

[Oh no, of course not. I just tried to beat them up a little, kidnapped one of them… held her prisoner…
Ok, maybe not the best thing to have mentioned. ]

I have heard of it, but I have never been able to visit. However, there are a lot of people here that do come from the world.
