[001] Video/Action in New Bark Town

[usedgrace]

[The screen flicks on to a young woman with blond hair. Once she makes the camera zoom out, the first thing that anyone will notice is the armor she's wearing. She has a dazed look in her eyes.]

I-I'm alive? Was it the Almighty Dolly's divine mercy? Or... was it God's?

[She seems to be pretty shaken up. However, she shakes her head

They have no right -

[He grips his hair.]

You and Napoléon are mine. They have no right -

[Video 2:3]

You don't know me either?

[And... France flips out.]

I am your country! Your Nation. You should have known me from the moment of your birth! I should be part of your life! You are my beauty, my heart, my soul! You're my citizen, my people, mine! And they took you from me!

[Joan just stares at France with a blank expression. This man was beginning to startle her.]

[Wait... did he just say...?]

Napoleon is here too? Where--

[And now you're making her head swirl, France. She tries her best to put the pieces together in this madness.]

So, then, you're the personification of France... and you knew both mine and Napoleon's originals?

Napoléon was in Cherrygrove the last we spoke.

[France squeezes his eyes shut. He's obviously trying to calm himself, but he's still rather loud and distressed.]

Of course I knew them. I know all of my citizens. That you don't know me...

You should have known me from birth.

[Jeanne disappears off camera briefly to look through her pack for the map. After opening it and locating Cherrygrove she reappears.]

Alright, that's the next city. I just hope he's still there.

They never told us anything.

Not just us two, but all the clones at St. Kleio Academy...

We were born in a lab, they raised us, and then they send us to the Academy to study, but we're forbidden to leave the school grounds.

Although, Napoleon and I were sort of forced into learn French...

[It's hard to tell whether France is more sad or distressed at this point.]

You don't speak French normally?

They took so much...

[Jeanne's expression begins to change. She now holds an apologetic look and shakes her head.]

I'm afraid not, it was just something that the people at St.Kleio taught us since our originals knew the language--

[Suddenly, France will see the close-up of the face of the Vulpix that Jeanne is holding in her arms as it noses its way into the screen, not enjoying being left out of whatever was going on.]

Napoléon mentioned that place, but -

[He blinks, surprised by the Vulpix before brightening with a large smile.]

Oh! You got a Vulpix as a starter as well!

[He shifts the 'Gear to Marianne, who is lounging next to the radiator.]

My Marianne has already evolved into Ninetales.
