1st blade [Video]

[The screen flickers to life, capturing a quick glimpse of the morning sky, bright and blue, before it quickly shifts in a blur of movement-]

-pretty sure it's working.

[And a voice comes through, very close. Thankfully a sign that the video is still going, seeing as now all that can be seen is a dark haze.]

Hello? How about someone that isn't that weird woman in the house claiming to be my mother? [Which is a whole other can of worms she won't even touch, aside from the general information she'd gotten.] I mean, I heard the instructions, so I'm just guessing here. Most of the time I see things like this, they tend to explode!

[The screen shifts, again. On the upside, you can see the sunlight again! And now, a person, with a short bob of curling hair, and an unimpressed look staring down at you. A pokemon - Rowlett, to those familiar with the type - perches on her right shoulder, trilling as it rubs its face into her neck.]

I mean, how do I know if the light means it's working? This is my first time handling a magic mirror like this.

[Hoo? Goes Rowlett, who chooses to barely even look at the screen. Because it seems she's speaking to it. Such things are possible for Disney characters.]

Okay, sorry. It's technology, alright? [A frown, a sigh, but she presses on.] Hello? If I'm reading the map correctly I'm in... New Bark Town? A place I've never heard of. Don't exactly like how I can't remember getting here, or waking up in a bed I didn't pay for. So... yeah.

[Seems that's good enough for her. For now.]

None that we can control, sadly. People arrive and disappear at random, sometimes after weeks, sometimes after years. There's the occasional coma that involves going home for a week while our bodies remain unconscious here, but those are temporary and unexplained.

[Which, now that he thinks about it, describes most of what happens in this world.]
