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

[laplaceattorney]

[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.

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

They're forthcoming, at the very least. Some have a better grasp of manners than others. But it seems to be something of a rite of passage, initiating the newcomers to this strange new world.

Fairly frequently. Several times a month, I believe.

No two people are the same, as they say. I'm sure other newcomers appreciate it, though--I know I'm grateful for it. Everyone's been fairly helpful.

So they are about as random as those who return to home?

No. Sometimes this place demonstrates a surprisingly cruel sense of humor in who it chooses to bring and take away.

Perhaps it's fate. That's very hard to fight, after all.

[Hard, but not impossible, as "he" had shown Keisuke.]

Is this place really responsible, though? No one has given a real explanation for appearances/disappearances, other than to blame Johto.

That's because no one has an explanation. There have been trends to the arrivals and departures — sometimes unsettling ones — but no one has ever been able to say why or how.

[It takes a while for Keisuke to fully process this. When he does reply, it's pretty simplistic.]

That's fairly unnerving.

Welcome to Johto.

[The dry humor, it is like a desert.]
