[unbroken_chain]

Who: Kotoha, Akane, Ruri, Sasha, Tsukasa, Atoli, M'gann, Eikichi, Riku
Where: Pokeworld!
Summary: The Ebon Triad is up to no good, and the Shining Trapezohedron has sent Visitors to stop them.
Warnings: Pokemon can get PRETTY DARK sometimes.

No matter what you were doing before, when the dazzling flash of light clears you find yourself at the base of a Ferris wheel in what seems to be an amusement park, a vague memory of someone asking 'Now, are you a boy? Or a girl?' running through your head.

Wherever you are, it's definitely not Hinoto-Ri. And just what are those strange creatures that everyone else seems to be taking for granted?


OOC:Pokeworld Plot, START-O! You're starting in Nimbasa City. Feel free to mingle a little first, NPCs and Kotoha will chime in as necessary.
Free mingle thread starts here.
Post for actually catching Pokemon is here.
Thread for actual action is here.

Ruri just looks at her with her usual deadpan.

"A what? I was looking for a communication system to see if I could find Omoikane."

[stringsmon]

"What? You've gotten separated from your pokemon? Oh that's awful! Come with me, dearie, I'll help you look for...Omoikane, you said? Such an interesting name! Are you from Kanto, perhaps?"

[electricyousei]

"I'm from.... I lived in Tokyo for a bit. Omoikane is.... Pokemon you say, Kohota has Pokemon I wonder if this is where she comes from."

[stringsmon]

"Kotoha, you say? Isn't that the same name as that actress all you young folk are wild about nowadays? My son won't stop raving about her!"

She continues chattering away as she reaches the wall and works a catch, pulling open a panel to reveal a convenient videophone.

"Here you go, dearie, the emergency call system! I'll just let you make your call in peace, feel free to call me over if you need help."

[electricyousei]

"Thank you."

She walks over to the phone, makes sure its on and stands back, code rushing across her eyes as her hair and cape start to flutter in a nonexistant wind as she starts trying to make contact with the Nadesico.

[stringsmon]

There is exactly one reply - but the communication systems are unfamiliar, as if they hadn't even been built by humans. It's probably not the Nadesico.

[electricyousei]

Ruri is too busy trying to connect to it, so she'll just take the connection.

"Omoikane?"

[stringsmon]

"Cle...fairy? Fair fair cle?"

[electricyousei]

She just lets out an exasperated sigh.

Two can play at that game!

yes, but I'm actually doing this by hand, I learned binary like an idiot

[electricyousei]

She shakes her head and drops carrier, hanging up the phone and sits down hugging her legs.

"I hate being out of contact."

[stringsmon]

The middle aged woman wanders back over to Ruri, a concerned look on her face.

"Did you not have any luck, dearie? Maybe you could try checking the Pokemon center for that friend of yours?"

[electricyousei]

"What is a pokemon center? There are only 6 that I know of."

[stringsmon]

She's clearly trying to parse this statement, but to no avail.

"Ah, well...just turn right when you leave and keep going straight - the Center is the building with the red roof."

[electricyousei]

"Why would they make a building for something that there's just 6 of? I'll never understand this place."

She just stands up and shakes her head.

"Take the coaster out or is there a different exit?"

[stringsmon]

"Only the coasters, I'm afraid. I do hope you find your friend, dearie."

[electricyousei]

"Well thank you."

She gets on the coaster, figuring it has to loop back EVENTUALLY.

[stringsmon]

It does, in fact, loop directly back to the exit.

The directions provided were also completely accurate, so there's that, as well!

[electricyousei]

Ruri gets out of the coaster and lets out a breath, starting for the red roofed building with her usual deadpan look.

"Hrm."
