[ Claire gave a look to the fox that was sat beside her, one that kept nudging her with its head and refusing to leave her alone. And that wasn’t all that was weird - none of stuff had been with her, which figured if this was the Company’s doing - though giving her a fox, a weird cell phone and a lot of other weird stuff

Hey, no one's gonna get hurt and no one's gonna be a lab rat. It's okay. You're not in any danger.

[icanhelpthem]

Then why am I here?

[gentiana_clusii]

That's...a pretty good question and I kinda haven't figured out why yet. But this isn't such a bad place, seriously.

[icanhelpthem]

Yeah, people have been telling me that I don't need to worry but... it feels wrong not to.

[gentiana_clusii]

Well, aside from the odd event or two, I've never had any real problems. There might be a few people to look out for, but you could probably pick them out on your own.

[icanhelpthem]

You mean like criminals? [ They're not that easy to spot... or she's just naive and believes people until she knows more ]

[gentiana_clusii]

[Well, technically you're talking to one...]

That, the occasional mustache-twirling villain...most people are decent, though, and they'll help you out if you need it.

[icanhelpthem]

Just like regular life.

[gentiana_clusii]

Pretty much! 'Cept you have critters that can breathe fire and stuff here.

[icanhelpthem]

The Pokemon. My brother used to play a game that was basically this.

[gentiana_clusii]

I think it was this. I mean, I never played it myself, but I remember seeing it around. It's stupidly popular in Japan, I'd of had to live under a rock to not have heard of it.

[icanhelpthem]

I think I remember the basics just from how much my brother went on about it. Guess I should have paid more attention.

[gentiana_clusii]

It's easy enough to learn. Think of it as rock paper scissors, only with the occasional explosion and a lot more choices.

[icanhelpthem]

And Pokemon that can breathe fire. Guess I'll see what happens.
