001st Case // My life is a 90's Video game? // New Bark Town

[chocolatgenius]

[The feed clicks on to show a good looking young man with a disapproving look on his face. He looks strangely spooked, highly unnerved, and strangely like he might just be sick at any given moment.] Shawn, this isn't funny. How the hell did you even pull this off?

[Behind him you can see other new arrivals in New Bark town milling about, Gus is

[video] can I just say GUUUUUUUUS *A*

[thebelsareinert]

... M&Ms on pizza?

Video Yes you may! *LOL* <3

[chocolatgenius]

[Gus is beating a quick walk towards the only exit in town that he knows to be the first road to the first REAL city by now, clothes a little mussed up, but Aipom safely back in it's Pokeball.]

I know. It's weird, right?

[AGREE WITH ME. AGREE WITH ME PLEASE!]

Video HAHA then I shall ;w;

[thebelsareinert]

[Well, it looks like the guy is getting his way around, so Hiro won't point him anywhere, at least.]

... I'd have to try it for sure, I think. [His expression says... ... yeah. You'd have to get him to try it first.]

[You know, I really expected if I ever dreamed about being in a video game that all the characters would be people I recognize. I don't recognize you. And if this is a dream then where is detective Lassiter in the ridiculous costume of some kind?]

I thought you weren't supposed to feel pain in dreams. This is awfully realistic for a dream.... Is this hell? Did I die and go to hell? [GUS LOOKS AFRAID AT THAT IDEA.]

Video

[thebelsareinert]

[... the idea of Lassie dressed as any kind of Pokemon character is terrifying.]

I wish it was hell. I'd feel a lot more at home than I would here.

Video

[chocolatgenius]

Uh.... what do you mean by that?

Video

[thebelsareinert]

Try talking to some of the people here. They're like happy robots or something. Even the people that got dragged here like us.

It's as if there's nothing wrong with this place. It's... messed up.

Video

[chocolatgenius]

[Oh God this is going to be Dual Spires all over again isn't it?

Gus agrees.]

... That's messed up.

Video

[thebelsareinert]

Yeah.

Hell might have been a bit harsh, but still.

Video

[chocolatgenius]

Then if this is for real, how did we get here? What about my job? ... I can't leave Shawn unsupervised! This is NOT what I had in mind when I said I needed a vacation.

Video

[thebelsareinert]

Well it's what you got. It's what all of us got.

Video

[chocolatgenius]

Thanks for the help, I guess. [He's not trying to be rude. He just is still I DON'T KNOW WHAT EVEN-- WHAT IS THIS.]

Video

[thebelsareinert]

[he nods. he figures the poor guy is probably shocked. NORMAL PEOPLE SHOULD BE, so this reaction is a... hell of a lot better than the ones where people run off to go have an adventure, in his opinion.]

Don't worry about it. I'm looking hard on how to get out of here and how we got here. If I find anything out, I'll let you know.

Video

[chocolatgenius]

That would be great. Thank you. [Manners, see? Gus has them when he's calm. He casts a grateful look at the Gear.] I guess I might as well get started. I'll let you know if I find anything too.

[thebelsareinert]

[a nod, then a grin at that.]

Thanks.
