[Suddenly, Lloyd face.]

-is it working? …

[There’s half a second more of a very perplexed looking young man before he’s apparently caught on that it is indeed working, and he’s grinning ear to ear, clearly giddy and impressed with the technology he’s received.]Oh, wow! This is so neat!! It’s really recording, just like that woman said, hahaha!

[... SQUINT.]

[That red outfit looks... REALLY familiar. ... Lloyd??]

[She REMEMBERS him-- or someone who looked exactly like him-- coming here a really long time ago. ... But like many repeat appearances, it looks like he doesn't remember... so she'll just. Not mention that. Wouldn't wanna freak the poor dude out.]

West would be a good start.

[aaah another person showed up! man this thing was so neat~ even if he received it from a crazy lady.]

West? Okay, got it. [Not like he really had any other information to go by.] Where does that lead?

[foolishwren]

A town that actually has food and places to sleep, unlike the one you're in right now.

[If New Bark could accurately be called a town... Heather had always thought of it more as one of those snooty closed neighborhoods. Although she couldn't exactly blame the people who lived there for locking their doors and closing their blinds every time a new set of total strangers poofed into this world right in their front yards...]

Oh, yeah, that'd be good. Doesn't really seem like I can do much more in this place anyway.

[Totodile definitely agrees, huffing at Lloyd's side even as they start off. Lloyd gives him an apologetic smile, then returns his attention to the Pokégear.]

So what's your name? Did everyone start out in this weird town?

[ video ]

[foolishwren]

Name's Heather.

And yeah, most people, far's I can tell. Figures they'd stick everybody in the little cluster of houses in the middle of NOWHERE right off the bat instead of one of the cities.

I'm Lloyd!

Yeah, no kidding!! Especially since there's no inn or shops or anything close by. At all. [He sighs.] Who's stupid idea was this?

[ video ]

[foolishwren]

Nice t'meetcha, Lloyd.

And... honestly? I've been here almost a year now and I'm pretty sure nobody's figured that out yet.

[easilytrusts]

That's... [frowny face. He really doesn't like the idea of staying away so long from Aselia, especially so soon after it's been reunited. Doesn't seem like he has any choice in the matter at this point.]

Yeah, but there's gotta be a way to get everyone home. The moment I find out who's responsible for all this, I'll track him down and make him talk!

[... which his Totodile seems all for!]

[ video ]

[foolishwren]

[Heh... just like the first time.]

There's a lotta people looking for a way home. I'm sure they'd appreciate the help.

[... A year ago, she'd have offered her OWN help. But in the past months, she's been feeling more and more reluctant to look for her own way home.]
