[ Hello, Johto, you've received another new face! ... Er, one that looks pretty bewildered and more concerned than anything. She's not even aware that the Azurill she'd received is filming her, but Aqua does what Aqua does best: She gets information. Aqua makes her way around the town, doing her best to gather information. All the while, the Azurill is filming her... though, honestly, the camera's a little shaky. Um. More than "a little" shaky, because she's holding the camera with her feet.

... That sure is a thing that's happening. But she's trying, and that's what matters.

Several minutes pass before Aqua realizes her Azurill is filming her. ]

Oh! [ She kneels down next to the little one, smiling fondly (somehow, she notes to herself, because she's still getting used to the whole "not being trapped in the realm of darkness" thing). It's hard not to be in good spirits with such a cute critter, after all. ]

Can everyone see this? I've never encountered a device like this, but it doesn't seem too difficult to work.

Hello. My name is Aqua, and I've just arrived. [ ... ] I don't suppose I could easily find some sort of food for my friend, here. She does seem very hungry.

[ And sure enough, yup, that's the sound of the Azurill's tummy growling. At least she looks embarrassed about it. ]

[ She considers that, one hand on her chin. ]

As long as I can compensate them, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to ask.

[charcoalfeather]

It's worth a shot.

[She tried it!


...it didn't work out most of the time, but.]

The people around here are really nice to people like us.

[shotlocking]

"People like us"? From other worlds, you mean?

[charcoalfeather]

Uh huh. [nodnod.] I uh, know it's a little strange. But the truth is, there's a lot of people that show up where you are that are from a ton of different worlds. And you're supposed to train pokemon while you're here!

[...]

Oh... And if you're lucky, then there might be someone here that knows who you are!

[shotlocking]

[ She nods--she understands that part, at least, so. ]

Oh! Yes, I've spoken with at least three people from my world--and I've heard there's another.

[ It's three more people than she'd expected to see here. ]

[charcoalfeather]

Really? That's great!

[Three more then she's got....]

I heard that you can run across anyone here, and if you do show up then some other people might start to show up too. [Rakka smiles, full of hope.] You must be really lucky.

[shotlocking]

I do feel lucky. [ She says it simply enough. ] Do you have anyone like that here?

[charcoalfeather]

[Ah....]

No, I don't. But someone told me that if I wait, someone else might show up?

[...it's going to be three months now.]

[shotlocking]

I'm wishing you the best of luck--it's not pleasant to be alone anywhere. Though, I'm sure you have friends you've made here.

[charcoalfeather]

[oh....]

That's right! I made some great friends here already, and I'm sure it won't be long before you do too! Everyone here is really nice towards the new people that show up.

[...Oh yeah.] My name's Rakka. I don't think I said that...

[shotlocking]

I've noticed. It's a wonderfully warm welcome--thank you for contributing to that.

It's wonderful to meet you, Rakka.

[charcoalfeather]

Oh! You too!
