001 ☁ Audio + Action for New Bark Town

[ridingthewinds]

[Ororo is standing by the lakeshore at the edge of New Bark, looking for all the world like a lost child, hugging herself like that. (Marvel heroes have a patent on melodrama, you know.) It's a new feeling, certainly one she never prepared herself for. She never expected to feel so empty without her powers, mostly because she didn't think it was

Not bad, no... Just quite strange. [Ororo's had a lot of dreams, but she's never had one where 2-bit music out of nowhere followed her around.]

[She takes a closer look at the video feed, noting the familiar background. Hmm.]

[She finds herself nodding, smiling a little bit.]

That is true. I spent some of my formative years in small villages myself, but much of my more recent years I spent in New York. It's quite a difference.

In a way, I suppose. This town is already much more technologically advanced than where I had lived, but the quaint, isolated atmosphere is quite familiar.

[She returns the smile, lightly amused at how eager the child sounds.] Is that so? Though I've yet to have the pleasure of visiting Japan, I do know Tokyo is rather urbanized. Yet you do not sound displaced in the least.

By starting town, do you mean [pause, while she recalls the name - ah, right.] ah, New Bark?

[Looking around, looking around... oh, there's a shock of white hair across the plaza!]

I have yet to leave, myself. [and when he does spot her, she will smile gently and wave.]

[If she's startled by the Misdreavus, she doesn't show it. She shifts to face him better, her Dratini faithfully remaining close at her heels.]

It's quite all right; I missed the fact as well.

A pleasure to meet you, as well. [and inclining her head slightly in return. Such a polite boy!]

I am Ororo. [She notes his interest in her Pokemon, and smiles. She gently urges the Dratini forward.] And this is little Raindrop.

[Dratini stares up at Bakura for a bit, before hesitantly coming closer.]

It's nice to meet you both. [She normally doesn't particularly like when people fuss over her hair, but as Amane's a pokemon, she can make an exception. H-hopefully the Misdreavus doesn't get too excited...?] How long have you been in this place, Bakura? If you don't mind my asking.

[bit hesitant at first, but eventually Raindrop warms up to the petting. It's friendly like that!]

I only just arrived myself. But you seem quite at home in this place, for someone recently arrived.

[and for someone with creepy Pokemon atop her head, Ororo doesn't seem bothered in the least.]
