[Hey everyone remember that really excited kid who wanted to gather information together and was being a happy nerd about it? Yeah he's not doing well. The gear is in his hands and there's a pink Minior floating around him like a satellite, along with a Phantump floating next to his shoulder. As though they're trying to calm him down.

It's not working. He's spent a day searching and now he's getting desperate.]

Come on. Come on....work why don't you!

[The view shakes as he hits the gear a few times.]

Mabel, I know you're there.....just answer the gear! I don't know where you went but ....Little Dipper is here and now he won't stop following me. .....is this a prank? Because....

....This...this isn't funny.... 

Mabel?

[The location that the feed broadcasts from might be recognizable to anyone familiar with Lust's cottage. Ed has the gear set down so that he's visible stretched out with the head of an Arcanine on his chest, neither one of them look very happy but he seems to be trying to keep his expression - and tone, when he speaks - neutral. For a moment the broadcast doesn't seem intentional, but then the hand stroking the large dog Pokemon pauses before he finally addresses the 'Gear with a scowl, seemingly caught between anger and grief.]

When your friend's Pokemon show up in your PC it's because they left, right? That means Cissnei's gone.

[Just in case anyone else needed to know.]

I've been here a year now, no one I really knew left before.

[That last part is muttered more to himself as he leans over to shut off the feed.]

I knew it happened, but-

[He doesn't add that it had never happened to him, all his time being here he's never lost anyone he was actually close to and now that he has he's dealing with it - poorly.]

If she found a way out of this place she should have told me. Now what am I supposed to do?

[Excuse the shaky view as Sasha sets the gear up on the floor in front of her, giving the public as large a view of her sitting on the floor by her bed cross-legged. She rubs at her nose a few times, glancing off screen anxiously before she turns back to the 'gear and addresses the public at large.]

How do you make friends? [A pause.] I mean, real people friends, not Pokemon friends.

[Which makes this post a whole lot more pathetic. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!]

Like I don't know a lot of stuff because where I'm from we don't even have lights or water on the inside or schools or those car things. Just horses. And mountains. And lots of trees. So a lot of the stuff people talk about here, I never heard of and...

[...she feels too stupid, too much of a hick to bond over familiar things. Growing up people laughed at her for being so backwoods. That's something one doesn't shake off easily.]

But I want friends even though I don't know stuff. I don't mind learning! I... just don't want people to laugh at me about it.
