First Day. [text/action for rocket base.]

[Keisuke's not really feeling up for too much talking, given his situation, but he feels the need to take care of some basic business between his Rocket training seminars, etc.]

I've already figured out that this isn't a dream. Though it may not seem normal, the universe itself makes too much sense for that. Knowing that doesn't solve my problem, though...

Why am I here? Is there a way to get back home so I can finish something I need to do?

...If anyone knows Atsuro Kihara, Midori Komaki, or any of their friends, I would appreciate it if you'd tell me. I can't be the only one here, after all.

K-T

[God, he hoped he wasn't the only one here.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Normally, this sort of thing wouldn't warrant a reply, since he tends to just observe from the sidelines, but...they mentioned someone he knew. And he could assist, even if it was something as small as this. Why not?]

Atsuro Kihara is among us in Johto.

[He'll address the "why am i here" part in a bit.]

[RELIEF HITS HIM LIKE A BRICK. Good. He has a friend in this bizarro world.]

Thank you.

Johto?

K-T

Johto is the name designated to this region. As for why you are here...I do not know. You must search for yourself the path you must walk.

[Though he can probably come up with a cause why people have been taken here, he couldn't find a reason, and it probably wouldn't make sense to the poor guy.]

I see. I'm afraid it's not one I'm exactly familiar with, but I guess I shouldn't really be surprised.

What if we received a path when we got here? Or perhaps it should be seen more as a 'starting point'...

K-T

[The first part is to be expected.]

It is up to you whether to continue on that path or search for a new one.

[Human choice...it was something rather powerful, to him.]

[Atsuro stare at his PokeGear's screen, reading and rereading the text again. Every time, the text is still the same.

"Atsuro Kihara", "Midori Komaki"
"K-T"]

[It must be him. Who else would know his and Midori's names, while using that handle? It's almost too good to be true.

Johto brought one of his friends here again. But will they stay, or went home after a while? The world's rather whimsy about them.]

[Instead of answering his questions, Atsuro asks his own.]

Keisuke, is that really you?

AT-LOW

[If he hadn't heard about Atsuro being there already, he probably would have cheered from sheer joy. Or, you know, as close to cheering as he could get, especially when wandering the halls of an evil facility.

As it is, a shaky smile of relief curls.

He thinks about what all to say--he has a lot of questions, and is bottling up a lot of ashamed feelings at the moment from being a Rocket--but in the end, decides to keep it simple.]

Who else would be using that handle, Atsuro?

K-T

[Just like that, he feels happy. Joyful. Yes, Keisuke's stuck in Johto with him, but it also means he have a friend here.

He already made a lot of friends, but people from his world? They're different.]

I don't know. The world is a big place, Keisuke.

[He have a smile on his face.]

This is Johto, one of the regions in the Pokemon world. At the moment, no one knows a way back to our worlds.

Sure. And how many of those people using K-T would know your name? And Midori, for good measure?

[He's bummed by the prospect of not going home, even if he was supposed to die in a day--or at most, two. Still, he was talking to Atsuro. It was no time to dwell on that fact.]

So I guess we're stuck here, for now... Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a video game, back home? Or at least sort of like it.

K-T

A friend of Komaki-san's? I'm sorry to say you've missed her.

Midori was here, too?

[Well that does dampen his mood a little...]

Thank you for your information. Would you mind if I asked when?

K-T

Quite some time ago, unfortunately. I believe I met her in my first month or so here, and I haven't heard from her in several.

I see.

[Midori, why are you always running off, argh.]

Which begs the question--how long have you been here? And do you know what happened to her, after the two of you lost contact?

K-T

Kihara-kun would be better equipped to tell you that, I believe — and he's still here, so I imagine he'll turn up to speak with you himself anytime now. Checking this network with high frequency gets to be a habit before long, here.

Though presumably, if she did leave Johto, then she's returned to whatever immediate circumstances she left upon arriving here. Rumor has it that we return to the moment of our departure as though we'd never been gone at all.

text; self, don't walk away for several minutes when you are in the middle of a tag...

Sorry, but there's no sure way to get home.

On the bright side, Atsuro is around and if you're friends, he'll probably contact you quickly.

["if you're friends", what.]

Yes, Atsuro has already contacted me, thank you.

I've been hearing that there's no way home from many people. Atsuro's been here a year, and I'm willing to bet that many others have been here longer, so how is that possible?

K-T

Yeah, I've been here sixteen months now, and others are nearing their two year anniversary. Unfortunately, despite being here for that long, we still don't know how it's possible. There's not a single lead.

Edited 2012-04-26 01:57 (UTC)

[Keisuke supposes the amount of information "he" gathered in five days was pretty astounding.]

That's terrible... I'm sorry to hear that. I can only imagine how any of you must feel about being away from home for so long.

K-T

[What was his time, compared to nearly two years?]

It's fine. After a while, you'll get used to it, surprisingly. If you manage to buy a house and live with some friends, you'll soon be calling it "home".

[Wow, way to bring up a million feelings, Keisuke. He doesn't even know you, but it's the fact that you know Midori... And it's times like these that he realizes, nope, he's still not over her. He wants to ask about her, but... he'll just stick to answering Keisuke's questions instead.]

Atsuro is here.

Midori... used to be.

People come and go, but no one knows how or why. Just think of it as "there's no way home except for when there is." You don't choose to, you just... disappear one day. Maybe tomorrow, a week from now, a month, a year.

Basically, you're stuck, so. Welcome to Johto. It's really not that bad once you get used to it.

[After all, he met her here... then Johto sent her back home and now he's stuck with all these feelings. Bluh.]

[He didn't mean to. =c]

I see. That's a rather final way of putting it.

[Sort of makes him wonder how many times this person's had to explain it--or worse, experience it.]

Thank you for the information. Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Keisuke Takagi. Atsuro and Midori are my friends, back home.

K-T

[He could say he's lost track of how many times he's experienced it, but about 60% of his Pokemon serve as a nice little reminder of all the friends he's lost. Two of Midori's are hovering around him right now, though Keisuke can't see them. They always know when Wally's talking about her, verbally or otherwise.]

Isn't really a better way of putting it.

But you're welcome. I'm Wally. Midori... was my girlfriend here.

[...Wait, what?

It takes several readings over before the idea starts to sink in. Midori with a boyfriend. Sure.

...This probably shouldn't be as weird for him as it is.]

It's a pleasure to meet you then, Wally. I would say you're a lucky man, but given the circumstances...

K-T

[How does one be supportive in this situation...]
