Who: Hilda and OPEN!
Where: Libra Ward
Summary: A new face finds herself in a strange city.
Warnings: none so far!
She's not sure how she ended up here, all she knows is that she's far away from home. With her is a rather large, green snake that's slithering behind her. She looks around the section of the city she has found herself in and turns to her partner, "Well, on the bright side, we're in civilization and not lost in the woods! Right, Raver?"

She laughs nervously at the blank look he gives her. "Sorry, I--" she cuts herself off as she notices him spotting someone and then slithering off with some rather amazing speed. "Hey!" she shouts, running after him. Hope you like snakes, because one is coming for you!

Kotoha, for her part, is quite happy to see the giant snake.

"Well hello to you too!"

There's a slight pause.

"...are you Hugh's Serperior?"

With that, she starts looking around wildly because hey maybe her best friend is in town that would be rad.

The Serperior just simply shakes his head in disbelief and his proper trainer runs up, "Why'd you run off like that?!"

He points his tail at Kotoha, and Hilda finally notices someone else is here. "...Oh." Well, she feels a little dumb. "Um, hi there! Are you looking for someone?"

Kotoha...stares.

"I know you! You're Reshiram's Trainer!"

Cue a confused look from Hilda. "How'd you know that?" Is she that well-known?

Slight shuffle of her feet.

"Um. Our moms are old friends, actually, plus N told me about you. I'm, uh, Kotoha, from Aspertia City."

"Oooh, I see!"

Cue a huge smile from her.

"I'm Hilda! Nice to meet you, Kotoha! Um, how's N doing...?"

Answering smile!

"He's doing really good! He, uh, figured out what Zekrom wanted to teach him, and he's doing his best to help both people and Pokemon."

Slight pause.

"I, uh...I'm Zekrom's new trainer, actually."

"Is he? That's good to hear!"

Last time she saw him, she wasn't sure how much she got through to him. She's glad he's starting to see things in that way!

... Tick tock. Let's wait for the rest to click in. Ah, there we go!

"... You're Zekrom's new trainer? Why did N let Zekrom go?"

"Oh, uh...Ghetsis kind of...stole Zekrom? Mind control and stuff. And then I defeated him and Zekrom flew off."

Slight pause.

"Oh! You, uh, don't need to worry about Ghetsis coming back, either! The Shadow Triad said that the shock of losing to me made his mind snap, and he's not a threat anymore."

The mention of Ghetsis is making her shutter. "Ghetsis, huh...? He sounds like he went even more mad than he was when I last saw him.

She takes a deep breath, she really doesn't want to ask about him but curiousity is winning over. "What did he plan to do this time?"

"Well, you know Zekrom and Reshiram used to be the same Pokemon, right? Iris mentioned she told you. There's a third dragon, the husk left over after they split - an Ice type called Kyurem. Ghetsis stole Drayden's DNA Splicers and re-fused Zekrom and Kyurem into a single Pokemon, Black Kyurem, and he was going to bury all of Unova in ice."

Kotoha pauses then, her voice uncharacteristically somber.

"...he only managed to get his hands on Zekrom because N...saved me. Ghetsis...he ordered Kyurem to kill me, but N flew in on Zekrom and blocked the attack."

What is that. Is it a Heartless? No, it's... he doesn't know what it is, but it doesn't smell evil, so he's holding out a hand to it, head tilted just a little.

"Hey, mister."

How is he going to ask this random person where they are...? As he ponders this, the girl comes up and sees you with her friend. "Um, sorry. He doesn't normally do this sort of thing..." she mutters.

"We're a bit lost, so I think he figured you might be able to tell us where we are?" Oh right, maybe she should introduce herself, too...

So, with that, she'll hold out a hand, "My name's Hilda, by the way! Sorry about Raver, again." Yes, the snakes name is Raver. Now you have a name with the face!

"Oh, uh... this city is called Hinoto-Ri. This is Libra Ward." He waves a hand to indicate their surroundings, then reaches forward, gripping her hand to shake. The hand he extends in return is metal, entirely composed of tiny steel parts.

"I'm Riku. It's okay, though. He seems nice." He nods to Raver. It's a shame the snake probably can't read and write, or else he could probably communicate. "What is he? Not a Heartless or a demon, clearly."

Well, that's strange... she'll make note about asking it sometime. She pulsl her hand back and smiles at him. "Nice to meet you, Riku! He's, um, neither of them." She looks at Raver with a smile, "He's a Pokemon. They're creatures with fantastic powers! They can use water, electricity or fire!"

"So, um, where exactly is Hinoto-Ri...? And, um, I apologize for being rude but... what happened to your hand?"

"Huh... so a creature from your world, huh? You have a partnership with him?" Riku reaches out to rub Raver's nose, gentle. He seems like an all right snake.

"It's, uh... honestly? I'm not sure. I can't even be sure if this is a planet I'm familiar with. It's not possible to leave the city. You can go as far as the edges." He looks down at the hand in question, turning it over. "I uh... misplaced it, literally. It's kind of a long story. It didn't hurt or anything, if that's what you're wondering. But I couldn't go around without an arm, so I commissioned this."

What to do when a giant snake comes bounding towards you? Why, reach out and pet it, of course.

"Aren't you a friendly little thing?" Elaine grinned and gave it a pat on the nose.

Raver gives a very contented "Serp!" and then his trainer happens to come up.

She can't help but to smile though when she sees Elaine and her Serperior together, though! "Hi there," she says walking up, "I'm, um, his owner. I think he came up to you so he can ask where exactly we are?"

"I've heard that snakes make wonderful pets, but I was always more of a dog person, myself." She doesn't add that she kept small dogs that would have made excellent snacks for a reptile this big as the real reason. "You're new here, aren't you? This is Hinoto-ri. Bit of a mouthful, isn't it?"

Who would be the unlucky one in this case? For the strange green snake to run across this idiot, or Noda to run across Serperior?

He gets defensive as the large monster comes slithering at him, getting his halberd out, pointing the blade at it.

"I will cut you down if you come closer!!"

The poor snake looks at you confused. He just wants to know where he and his trainer is!

Speaking of said trainer, she's showing up right now and she seems to spot that blade. "Hey, what do you think you're doing?! He's not doing anything!"

When he finally realizes that the snake was posing no threat, Noda lowers his weapon to look over at the trainer.

"Hmph, that is what they all say. One must never be too careful when there are monsters that appear at night."

That doesn't really help the trainers irritation. She's going to stand in front of her snake now and glare.

"He's not a monster! He's my friend and all he wanted to know was where we are!"

"So you are a beast tamer?" Noda raises a brow; from what he saw, it still looked like some sort of snake demon rampaging down the streets. Then again, Noda always had a biased look towards everything in sight. He lifts his weapon back up, pointing the blade at Hilda now.

"Then perhaps you should keep a closer look of your demon."
