[It's midnight, the sixteenth. Honestly, everyone should be sleeping right now.]

I just thoguht of something.
that meat you buy from the store, what is it?

[...Except for when it comes to Rakka, she's been having a slight bit of difficulty with that. For a couple days now.]

I mean
where does it come from? Ive never seen a normal animal around besides pokemonoh no
are we eating pokemon?? is that it??

[And that would be where the texts stop for the night, but rest assured... or don't, Rakka is wide awake and ready for answers.

Or demands that she goes to sleep. That too.]

[Hanna's had a pretty interesting day so far. He met a woman who said she was his mom, which as far as he's concerned, is really fucked up. He got the most precious pokemon friend ever, talked to a professor, and is now wandering route 29. It's in his wandering though, trying to fluff over the fact that he's here, he isn't being held up by gun point, and is instead living a childhood dream, that he realizes something.

Before he'd been so overwhelmed by everything that it hadn't registered, but now? He was just walking, everything was calm, and-] Oh my god this music is everywhere.

[He's talking to the screen because he's not going to complain to his Noibat who probably has way better hearing and thus suffering more than him by far.] What do they have around here? Speakers in the trees? I don't understand where it's coming from, but as far as music goes, it kind of sucks. Like I always imagined having my own life soundtrack, but i've endured only like, what? Three hours of this and it's already stuck in my head. Please tell me it changes every once in a while. Please.

Cause this is like some kind of torture.


Action

After the realization that no, this music doesn't stop, and complaining to everyone about it, Hanna has decided to take a break and open up that lunch his...mom packed. It's nice, obviously made with love and he's just going to stare at it for a little bit, taking it in before grabbing his fork and taking a bite.

He can't say he isn't disappointed when it doesn't taste like what his mom used to make, but there's that same quality of 'i made this for my son' that kind of gets him to chew slower, appreciate it more, and after each bite he kind of sighs and takes a deep breath. For all that he had been pushing aside, trying to keep up the hype of just being here? Well. "Mom's" lunch seems to take the cake over being moments away from being shot any day.

Amelia, who had been flying around looking for food of her own to eat, smart little thing that she was, flutters to a stop on a branch, big ears twitching and turns back towards her over enthusiastic trainer. Something's wrong, obviously, and she'll flutter back, landing right next to his lunch on his knee, squeaking up at him.

"Huh? Naw, it's all good, Amelia," He says, wiping his nose with is sleeve and pushing at his eyes with the heel of his palm, "just got something in my eye."

[ The video starts with a rather...disturbed-looking Rhys staring wide-eyed at the camera. He's more or less bothered by this for a number of reasons. This had to be some kind of weird dream you had when you were passed out cold, but it wasn't turning out to be that way. When Rhys thought he would be waking up soon, something else happened. Like getting this weird Elgyem thing floating around nearby. Or the weird guy who was there to help him out of bed at his house. Rhys doesn't even have a house.

There's a pause at first. ] Uhh. Hi. There. I guess.

I'm, I'm here by some kind of mistake. My name's Rhys, and I'd really like to wake up from this dream now. So far the whole "pinching your arm" idea isn't working and believe me, I've been trying. I have a ECHO arm.

[ He'd probably show off his battle scars, but he's been through enough for a lifetime when it comes to adventures and the injuries you've collected thereof. So he just shakes his head. ]

Any help as soon as possible would be appreciated. There's...stuff I gotta do back on Pandora, and this doesn't really count as any of that.

So thanks.

1st Ω [Action for New Bark Town/Video]

( [Action; New Bark Town )

[Video]

[OKAY EVERYTHING'S UNDER CONTROL, EVERYTHING'S COOL. Except... not. So when the video flickers on, the rather annoyed, severe face of a young woman can be seen front and center.]

I'll give whatever dirty lowlife responsible for this ten seconds to identify themselves before I start hunting them down. Believe me, you don't want that.

[There's a pause, and her frown deepens if that's even possible. This... kidnapping, or whatever it was, had happened in her home. Said home was crappy, sure, but it had been damn secure. Athena herself had made sure of it. So if whoever-it-was had been able to get her without a problem, then the other occupant of the house could possibly be...]

Springs. As soon as you see this, echo me.

[She doesn't sound worried, but the edge in her eyes fades a little, and she reaches up to run a finger along a gleaming silver ring hanging from a chain around her neck. She blinks, realizing what she just did, before she practically shoves the ring under her shirt and out of view.]

If anyone can direct me to the nearest fast-travel station, the information will be much appreciated. [There's a pause, and the curious eye of a Honedge peeks on-screen with a gleam of curiosity. The woman glances at it, scowls, and pushes it away from the camera.] Also, the nearest gun vendor.

[Because this isn't the first odd creature she's seen so far, so she's not taking any chances. If she can't have Xiphos and Aspis, or at the very least any of her more advanced guns, she'll have to make due.]

Finally, if anyone familiar to me is viewing this, I will update my status as soon as I find my bearings in this bizarre town, and we can arrange a meetup then. Until then:

Athena, out.
