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

1/3?
Date: 2012-04-22 09:42 pm (UTC)"Atsuro Kihara", "Midori Komaki"
"K-T"]
2/3
Date: 2012-04-22 09:49 pm (UTC)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.]

Date: 2012-04-22 09:51 pm (UTC)Keisuke, is that really you?
AT-LOW
[Text]
Date: 2012-04-22 10:09 pm (UTC)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
[Text]
Date: 2012-04-22 10:34 pm (UTC)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.
[Text]
Date: 2012-04-22 10:56 pm (UTC)[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
[Text]
Date: 2012-04-22 11:19 pm (UTC)[He'd be pretty surprised if there is someone out there like that.]
Yep. It's the Pokemon game, but in real life. Different region, but Kanto's just a train ride away.
[Text]
Date: 2012-04-22 11:38 pm (UTC)I guess I shouldn't really be too shocked, considering all that's going on back home... If demons are real, why not teleportations to a video game.
[...It takes a while for him to tack on another thought.]
I've been told that Midori used to be here, too.
K-T
[Text]
Date: 2012-04-22 11:51 pm (UTC)[Atsuro, no, don't nerd out right now.]
Yeah. Midori used to be here months ago. Her, "him", Yuzu, Naoya and that weird gigolo guy.
[So, almost the whole gang!
and then they left][Text]
Date: 2012-04-23 12:05 am (UTC)For Keisuke that's...basically everyone of importance. Except Izuna and that guy that wanted him dead. Time for more questions.]
And they've all gone back to the Yamanote circle? How long have you been here? Have I ever been here, before?
K-T
[Text]
Date: 2012-04-23 12:10 am (UTC)[Oh, the other question...]
I've been here for a little over a year. As far as I know, you have never been here before.
[Text]
Date: 2012-04-23 12:28 am (UTC)[A year... That was a long time. Much longer than their five days. Even if it's something he had no control over, Keisuke can't help the knot of guilt forming in his gut.]
I see. I thought as much, since I didn't have any recollection of it, but I was still curious.
Where are you?
K-T
[Text]
Date: 2012-04-23 12:53 am (UTC)[The last time "he" was here, his best friend appeared in Mahogany.]
[Text]
Date: 2012-04-23 01:05 am (UTC)Neither--I'm in Goldenrod, as well.
K-T
[Text]
Date: 2012-04-23 02:43 am (UTC)What? But how? New trainers usually get dumped in New Bark or hard mode Mahogany?
[GET ON WITH THE TIMES, ATSURO...the last part, anyway.]
[Text]
Date: 2012-04-23 10:50 am (UTC)You're asking like I should have a clue, Atsuro. Maybe it's medium-hard mode?
K-T
[Text]
Date: 2012-04-23 11:37 am (UTC)[A pause. He feels rather nervous to ask this next.]
Since we're both in Goldenrod, let's meet up.
[Text] 1/2
Date: 2012-04-23 12:27 pm (UTC)...He wants to. Like, really, really wants to because he needs his friend.
And looking around, it doesn't seem like it should be a problem--the hallway he was in was pretty clear. Still, it wouldn't be long before another training seminar and Keisuke guessed they wouldn't take kindly to a newbie Rocket skipping out.]
Atsuro...
We will, okay? I have to do something first, but how about we meet up somewhere in an hour?
Please understand.
K-T
[Text]
Date: 2012-04-23 12:28 pm (UTC)Another text comes almost immediately.]
Nevermind, that can wait.
Where?
K-T
[Text]
Date: 2012-04-23 11:09 pm (UTC)[One of the most important buildings in any city here.]
You know where it is?
[Text]
Date: 2012-04-24 12:00 am (UTC)K-T
[Not...exactly an answer to that question, but Keisuke had yet to go about the city. Navigating a map should be easy enough, though, and he'd seen the functions for one on the gear.
He heads back to the room provided for him upon his arrival, swapping out the uniform for the now-raggedy clothes from the lockdown, then begins making his way out of HQ. On his way to the center, his eyes are pretty much glued to the map to make sure he's headed in the right direction.]
[Action]
Date: 2012-04-24 06:44 am (UTC)He's still Atsuro Kihara, but he also grown a lot.]
Keisuke!
[He calls out, waving his hand to get his attention. Atsuro would look a little different to Keisuke. His clothes are different, no longer the Lockdown-ragged clothes he usually wears, as well as being a little taller than his 17 year old self.]
[Action]
Date: 2012-04-24 10:42 am (UTC)Still. A lot can change, in a year, if his friend's appearance is any example. Plus, when Keisuke's from, he had yet to really make any atonement. Would Atsuro really want to hang around a murderer like him when he probably has plenty of better friends here in Johto?
...He doesn't rush his way over, but his feet don't falter and he does wave back.]
Atsuro...
[Action]
Date: 2012-04-24 11:45 am (UTC)[It's been many months since he saw Keisuke. A year long, really. When Atsuro first arrived in Johto, he was spoiled by the knowledge, and comfort, of having him and Naoya here.
When they and everyone else from their world left, Atsuro feels lonely. He made many friends here, but none of them really knows what it's like to survive.
But he adapts and Survive. Isn't that what you want, Naoya?
Then, his usual cheer returns.]
Man, I'm so glad to see you!
[Action]
Date: 2012-04-24 04:30 pm (UTC)[It slips out before he can bottle up that gust of surprise. He doesn't return his expression to one of neutrality, however, allowing a full smile instead.
It's been quite a long time since he's smiled, really--a true smile, at least. Not since before high school. So try not to be too surprised when he hugs you, okay Atsuro? 'Manly' interactions be damned.]
I was afraid I was going to be the only one here...
