Who:Romelle, OPEN
Where: New Bark -> Cherrygrove
When: All week!
Summary: Romelle is now stuck after her initial Fourth Wall visit. Come say hi! I will happily match formats, but I usually write everything, even action spam, in third-person past-tense. There's a network option at the bottom!
Rating: PG-13? Just to be safe.
Log:

New Bark Town

[Romelle knocked on the door of the house she'd just been kicked out of several times.]

Excuse me?! But I still have questions! What am I supposed to do? How do I get home?

[She was going to keep doing that until someone stopped her...]

Why am I having this dream again?!

Route 29

[Romelle had set off as suggested, wandering along to explore. The map helped a little? And she had a general idea that she needed to go to Cherrygrove City, which was apparently just straight ahead. So, sure... she could go that way.

Of course, her first couple of encounters with wild Pokemon didn't exactly go smoothly. She probably could use some help. She was going to run away or something from most of them. Stufful was very vexed and confused by this.]


Cherrygrove City

[Between the Mart, the Center, the Inn, and the beach, Romelle was already kind of okay with this. The Inn even had a spa! It was a small little place, though, and Romelle probably wouldn't linger long, but it was a good place to rest and get some sleep in a bed after her trek along Route 29...]

=====

[The video opened up with a familiar blond that some might know or some might have seen during the crazy whacky weekend a while back (if the dream isn't too fuzzy for you). However, she looked a little confused and perhaps a bit worried. If you knew her before, she won't remember you, sorry. She was doing her best!]

It seems I'm having this dream again, but things have gotten to a point where I'm beginning to think it might not be a dream. I didn't remember it while I was awake, but I do now, and I'm hoping to find a few of my friends. They were here in my dream...

But, my name is Romelle. I think... I think some people might know me? Someone told me that I've been here before. I do apologize. I don't remember it.

[Shinobu opted not to comment on her embarrassment; he had no desire to make her feel worse about this.]

There was something that happened - well, for me it would have been a year ago, but I don't know if that's the case for everybody who was here when I was. This place sort of drags people in temporarily, and then a few days later they go home none the wiser. I've only got any memories of it at all because I don't generally forget things, and even my memories of it are scrambled and incomplete and didn't start coming back at all until I woke up here. [He paused, glancing at the exterior of "Mom's" house again.] I'm fairly sure I never saw this place specifically, though.

[Technically it was recent for Shinobu as well; he was just drawn in from a future point on his timeline due to what he was fairly sure Thorne would refer to as timey-wimey bullshit.]

I wonder if that's typical.

And it does seem like coming through here is the more "official" method.

[And then Shinobu sighed as well.]

Honestly, so was I.

...I was going to say that it's good that they're here, but that's a bit of a double-edged sword, isn't it? On the one hand, they're here with you, but on the other... they're here with you.

[And then he grimaced.]

Sorry. I swear I used to have more tact about this sort of thing.

[Granted, the similarities this had to the way he'd been Taken by his Keepers weren't exactly helping, but Romelle didn't need to deal with his feelings in addition to her own.]

I'm Shinobu. It's nice to meet you.

No, I just got here. Today, actually.

From what I understand, we're supposed to travel from here to the other cities and towns, meeting other pokemon as we go and occasionally stopping to battle gym leaders. I don't think we actually have to battle the gym leaders if we don't want to, but the rewards apparently make travel and such easier as we go.

To be honest, I'm not entirely comfortable with the battle aspect, but it seems to be a huge part of the culture here.

A few people I've talked to have said the pokemon really like to fight, and the few of them I've talked to have agreed with that, but... yes.

Also, there are apparently other people with pokemon on the routes between the towns who will challenge you to fight. It's evidently considered bad form if you turn them down.

There are instructions on the PokeGear, but I haven't actually done it.

I don't think you need to feel silly at all. This is bizarre.

Thank you; I will. And you're free to do the same with me. I don't know how helpful I'll be, but I do my best.
