[What if you you were nothing but a little ball of flame, and then suddenly you woke up with arms and legs and an actual body? It would be quite the ordeal to get over. In fact, Sissel has spent the good part of the day actually learning how to walk again.]

[He has succeeded so far, but he still trips every once in a while. But at least he's

You weren't human before coming here?

[Ah, arrival day - and as per usual, there will be questions to these arrivals, because getting more ordinary people seems a bit rare.]

Yes, this is another world. You sound like you're familiar with the concept. No one knows how or by whom we're brought here, nor the reason why. And as of yet, there are no means of returning to our respective homes.

[Enjoy the pleasant-tour-guide voice as he tells you this.]

[in_themachine]

Well, I technically was human...I was just dead. A ghost.

Not really. It's just that I've lost most of memories, so I really have no idea whether the existence of another world is normal or not. I guess it is, now that I'm here.

...So I've heard. I really wish that weren't the case.

[Cooper nods, interested in this, but doesn't elaborate on it.]

Many people seem to find it abnormal. All the same, it is a matter of perspective, but while we're here we can't do much but accept it.

As do many. Most of us are trying to get an answer, but so far little has turned up.

[video]

[in_themachine]

Well, it's not like people can think this is all fake if they're here, right?

Maybe we'll find an answer soon. But I guess all I can do now is just wait until that happens.

[video]

[blacklodged]

Considering something as fake is different from percieving it as abnormal.

[Hm.]

Or you can help searching for one.

[video]

[in_themachine]

I guess that's true.

...I don't know what I could do. I had these powers, "ghost tricks", if you will, before I came here. But now I don't have them anymore, so I don't really know what to do about it.

[blacklodged]

Keep your eyes and ears open for anything that might help.

All "tricks" or abilities are lost when we come here, as are any weapons. Remaining alert is important, even in a place as peaceful as this.

[video]

[in_themachine]

I sure will. Being a ghost really helped with the "looking out" part.

So there's danger here as well? It seems like such a nice place, though.

[video]

[blacklodged]

There's danger everywhere. But this world is very peaceful. You shouldn't have much to worry about if you let your pokémon protect you from the wild ones.

[video]

[in_themachine]

So my Pokemon can protect me?

[He looks at his Gastly, who just sticks it's tongue out at him impishly.]

Hmm. I guess that makes sense. Funny how someone has to protect me now.Usually I was the one who was protecting others.

[video]

[blacklodged]

[He knows what you mean.]

What's your name?

[video]

[in_themachine]

My name's Sissel. And you are?

[video]

[blacklodged]

Dale Cooper, Special Agent.

[Because asking who he is is different from just asking his name.]

[video]

[in_themachine]

Special agent? You wouldn't happen to be part of the Special Investigation Unit, would you?

[video]

[blacklodged]

No, FBI. You have ties with the SIU?

[video]

[in_themachine]

FBI? Never heard of it. But no, I knew a few people who were working in that unit. That's why it reminded me of them.
