First Day - Action/Video

[thebelsareinert]

[Somewhere in the middle of New Bark, one might find a blue haired youth sitting with his Larvitar attempting to figure out his PokeGear.]

Is this an old COMP model? Doesn't really look like it, but only Atsuro would know for sure. [he shakes his head] It looks like all my demons and macca are gone too. ... No, not gone. They're probably still in my COMP. Which means that--

[a beep!, and the PokeGear's video function whirrs to life.]

[VIDEO]

-- I really need to leave. [at the sound of Larvitar making a noise on the side, Hiro glances away from the screen, then back to it.] Oh, awesome. I got it working even without Atsuro here.

... Might as well get right into it.

Listen, I don't know where I am, but I need to get back to Tokyo.

[he pauses, then suddenly flares up a little]

Does this at least have a TV function? Internet? I want to check the news about the lockdown. That is, if the government's even let it have that name. It's probably been really covered up outside too.

[he shakes his head again, getting just a bit angry. in a few hours, everything will be...]

Listen I'm running out of time! If you know where I am and how I can get back to Tokyo, tell me as soon as you can!

[with that, he ends the feed [/VIDEO] and gets up, heading back towards the Professor's place. He figures if there's a scientist handing out demons, he's got to have answers.

... Someone want to stop him from breaking Elm's door down?]

I don't think it's a TV... but what's the Internet?

[thebelsareinert]

[... did he hear that question right. no, no, that's impossible.]

Can you repeat that? I'm still getting used to this machine.

The Pokegear isn't a TV! [Does he have hearing problems? She gets a bit closer to the Pokegear.]

And I don't think it has this... Internet thingy. Whatever it is.

[ video ]

[thebelsareinert]

Pokegear? [She must mean the COMP.]

Oh, I get it. You're a cosplayer, right?

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

What's a cos... player...?

[ video ]

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

And yeah! It's called the Pokegear! You can send messages and stuff with it.

[ video ]

[thebelsareinert]

Like a COMP.

[Maybe she's roleplaying too? Or... something. That, or there are humans in the demon world, but that wouldn't make sense.]

[ video ]

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

... But what's a COMP. [SHE IS SO CONFUSED...] It looks like a Pokegear? Boo... I don't get it.

[ video ]

[thebelsareinert]

Don't worry about it, it's fine.

... By the way--

[ video ]

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

Yes? [She stands there, waiting for him to ask something.]

[>Do your parents know you're wearing that?
>You look pretty cute in that!
>Want some candy?]

O-Oh... No. [BECAUSE THEY'RE DEAD.]

[ video ]

[thebelsareinert]

[nodding]

I didn't think so... [... oops]

[ video ]

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

But I wore this kind of stuff ever since two years ago!

[ video ]

[thebelsareinert]

A-Are you serious!?

[ video ]

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

Yeah? It's not like they're bad or anything... Should I wear something better?

[ video ]

[thebelsareinert]

That depends on you.

Do you like that impression?

[ video ]

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

What impression? [clue. less.]

[ video ]

[thebelsareinert]

...

Someone isn't making you wear that, are they!?

[WHY ELSE WOULD A LITTLE GIRL--!?]

[ video ] 1/2

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

N-No?! They're not! I chose these clothes for myself!

[ video ]

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

But when it's cold, I wear other clothes like coats and long sleeves.

[ video ]

[thebelsareinert]

[pauses] I guess that's a little better.

Why do you like those though?

[ video ]

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

Because... they're clothes from home?

... ... ...

I don't have that much from home.

[ video ]

[thebelsareinert]

... Oh.
