002 | video | how many years since you found yourself staring at an endless sky?

[all you can see right now is a sliver of a colorful sunset and tan skin-- apparently the camera has been bumped inside of her bag, and 7 hasn't noticed that it's switched on yet. for a long time, she's very quiet, apparently just taking everything in. she hasn't seen anything like this world in... well, ever

I'm... guessing you don't just mean the Pokemon? [It's not really a question. He can tell--there's just a little too much awe in her voice.]

[she turns quickly when there's a sound from the Pokegear-- she hadn't yet figured out that it was, yknow, filming, not until that. so she pulls the bag over-- the screen goes dark for a few seconds as the Pokegear is knocked over inside the bag. but then she pulls it out and blinks curiously at the device, seeing the message. ... oh.]

You-- can hear me?

[sorry, she's a bit technologically inept.]

[video]

[savethefarron]

Pretty much everyone can.

[for a second, she considers asking how; but she just half-shakes her head a little, putting that aside for now.]

It's... this place. I've never seen anything like it before. It's... like the war never happened here.

[despite the mention of war, she can't help but show just a little of just how young she secretly still is in her confusion. whoops.]

[savethefarron]

The war? [No, wait, she needs answers more than he does, right now.]

I don't know where you're from, but it's not here. This place? It's called Johto I think.

[getupandfight]

[... oh yeah, that. she shuts her eyes for a beat.]

... I don't understand, why am I here? And how does this place exist? And... where?

[video]

[savethefarron]

Wish I could tell you.

I guess I probably should've kept my mouth shut to start with, if I couldn't help out, but... I figured a friendly face'd be better than nothing.

[she's silent, at first; but then she shifts back to sit more normally, looking off at... everything again.]

... it's alright.

...

This place is... beautiful. But I have to find a way home. I can't just--

[she breaks off, an idea suddenly coming to her. she looks back at the Pokegear, though unsure of... exactly what to look at here.]

Do you know if others from your home are taken here with you?

[video]

[savethefarron]

They are, but hardly ever at the same time.

Your buddy might show up in a week or a month, or they might've been here as long as I have. Doesn't matter when you last saw them, back home.

[... without another word, 7 is on her feet, pulling the bag up on her shoulder before ducking to grab the Pokegear.]

Thank you.

Hey, no problem.
