Kotoha used 'Happy Birthday'!

[unbroken_chain]

Who: Kotoha, Fumi Kanno, maaaaybe Fumi's CR?
Where: Leo Ward, backdated to July 3rd
Summary: Kotoha drags the birthday girl out for lunch.
Warnings: Kotoha, being ridiculous, etc., etc.

Kotoha, having successfully talked Fumi into revealing her birthday was today, has swung by JPs Headquarters at lunchtime to wait outside for her. This accomplished, the young trainer quickly dragged the hacker off to a nearby cafe, where a specially-reserved table had a small croissant with a birthday candle flickering atop it set on a small plate.

"Happy birthday!"

Kotoha smiles.

"According to some of the stories, the Entree Forest used to be capable of letting people visit parallel worlds. But...I guess something happened, and now the bridges to other worlds are broken..."

There's a faraway look in her eyes as she continues.

"It feels...kind of lonely, to stand on those bridges and think that they once lead to other worlds."

And anyone could access this place?

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha nods.

"All you needed was a C-Gear, and Fennel basically handed those out to every Trainer she met as part of her research."

[terminally_clever]

Equipment for interdimensional travel was standard issue?

[unbroken_chain]

"Nah, all the C-Gears do is teleport you to the Forest. It was something about the island itself that did the other world stuff."

[terminally_clever]

Hmm... and you say it just stopped working all of a sudden? No ideas as to what could have caused it?

[unbroken_chain]

"I'm inclined to blame Team Plasma, really. Two years ago they caused a huge underground collapse when they had their giant drill castle burrow up through Victory Road."

She says this as if it were perfectly normal.

[terminally_clever]

Their giant drill castle.

[unbroken_chain]

Nod.

"Yeah, N told me once that the secretly built it underground using enslaved Pokemon. I've gone through the ruins a few times, it's filled with dragons now."

[terminally_clever]

You live in a very colorful world, don't you?

[unbroken_chain]

"Yeah! It's never boring, that's for sure."

[terminally_clever]

Well, all the same, thank you for this. I'll be sure to study it extensively.
