First Video

[ Yuzu was no stranger to exercise. She poured so much of her efforts into becoming a Pro Action Duelist back home, and exercise is right alongside that. She could confidently say that she was more active than the average person, and she'd been practicing acrobatics since she was old enough to do so.

But this? This was something else. This was fending mostly for herself, in the wild, with nothing but what "Mom" put in her backpack.

To be honest? She's not sure how to feel about "Mom" anyway. Well, it's not like she has a mother of her own to compare her to, but she's pretty sure a mother wouldn't shove their child out the door like that... and tell them to do this.

At the very least, she's not dead, the trip to Cherrygrove ended before she could actually collapse... and the spa she found next to the Inn was heavenly after her first case of traveling through the wilderness for three days. Well, she's at least learned a bit through experience, so once she sets off again... it'll hopefully be less rough on the poor girl. It shouldn't take long until she gets used to traveling, at least.

Still, while she's sitting outside while her Eevee (affectionately named Aria) plays with the Bounsweet (affectionately named Diva) she caught on her way here... which was of course followed with a brief period of panic at seeing the small fruit(?) get sucked into the ball, but she's at least figured the pokeballs out now. Anyways, back on topic, now that she's at Cherrygrove... she should probably try and use her Poke-Gear now. It has some kind of public network, right?

The camera comes on from the wrong side, showing the area in front of Yuzu rather than facing Yuzu herself. At the very least, the first thing seen in the video is the very cute sight of an Eevee rolling around in the sand with a Bounsweet. ]


Is this... oh—oops...!

[ The camera promptly switches to the one facing Yuzu, showing the image of the young, pink-haired, and honestly still confused girl. ]

Hello! Um... I'll assume this is working... uh, hi! I'm Yuzu, and... I sort of woke up here? I mean, waking up in a different world is nothing new to me, but this place is so... different, even by my standards...

[ Crap, she's rambling. Normally she's more put-together than this, but... ]

B-Basically my point here is... is anyone else here like that? Is this like, a normal thing or something?

[ I mean, she did meet Ochako... who seemed to be in a similar situation. Still, she'd like input from more than just one other person. ]

first video

[The feed's shaky for a second, before it focuses on the man with the spiky yellow hair. That doesn't seem to be a function of him not knowing how video calls work; judging from the fact that he seems to have a whole-ass robot arm, he's probably familiar with technology. It's more likely due to the fact that he looks like he hasn't slept in three days and looks to have the start of a bruise forming on his face in addition to the dark circles under his eyes. There's also a gerbil in his hair. This dude's a fuckin' wreck.]

Hey! Hi, uh, weird...alternate dimension people. [Great, nailed it.] Um. I - I'm Arthur. Soooo I looked through this, uh, video forum thing, and I kinda talked to the mom lady, so I, I kinda got the whole gist of the whole, uh. The kidnapping thing. But, um, is there really no way we can go straight back? None at all?

See, my friend's been missing for like, more than a year at this point, and everybody else pretty much thinks he's dead, so I have to be there. I'm the only person still looking for him. If I'm not around, then no one's gonna find him, and he's just gonna be stuck in wherever he went, unless - shit, is he here? Is there a Lewis Pepper here? I'm pretty sure he got sucked up into some kind of...I-I-I don't know, a magic ghost devil vortex or something, and this is basically like that, right? Lewis, please call me if you've been in gerbil land this whole time.

[God, he actually really kinda hopes that's the case? Not high hopes, but it's possible, he guesses???]

Oh, also I think I kinda just crashed my van into my job, so I'm probably gonna have to clean that up. Honestly, I'm like maybe 60, 70 percent on this being some kinda crazy head trauma hallucination...thing. I just had a freaky nightmare, so that would make sense. Is that a concussion symptom? My other friend Vivi was in the car too, but she's not here now, and wouldn't she be here if we drove through a gerbil land vortex?

[.........]

Anyway, uh. You're not gonna tell me if you're hallucinations, so just - let me know about the first thing, I guess. Thanks.
