[The screen is black, but two muffled voices can be heard. It sounds like maybe an argument is going on.]

Do you not see the giant bird right outside?!

Honey, I can't keep you from your journey forever. You have to start your adventure-

I'm saying I can't go outside because there's a giant bird- HEY! STOP PUSHING ME!

[The screen remains black, everything goes silent for a few seconds. There's an awkward "uhhhh.... hi?" before a horrible, loud bird screech in the background. There's a girl's scream, and the sound of someone breathing hard as they run. The screeching continues, until it starts to fade...

... and then the Pokegear falls out, revealing the sky. Finally, a young Colombian girl's face comes into view, but she doesn't seem to notice to Pokegear. She's bent over and out of breath.]


First, I wake up in a strange house with a woman who's NOT MY MOTHER. THEN THERE'S GIANT BIRDS-! UGHHH WHAT IS THIS PLACE?!

[Dimitri would respond to this any way, because ah yes, people having to deal with that poor widow, except then he registers the name on the Gear and, oh! Oh!]

Hello! I apologize for the large birds - they are being taken care of but you may want to take shelter in the trees.

But also, is your last name Madrigal?

If it is the large purple eagles with white crests around their heads, then not necessarily. The ones I have seen in particular are too large to navigate the trees particularly deftly. They would have to land to properly navigate, and that puts them at a severe disadvantage.

And a young woman named Luisa! She has an impressive physique, and was worried for you greatly. But, ah, get to the trees first.

Your safety is most important.

I wonder if she has gotten a suitable flying companion and Falkner's badge... [This is murmured to himself more than anything else before he raises his voice for her again.] At any rate, it is true that it may take her some time.

Hm. Have you ever ridden anything before, Miss?

[It's fine, Mirabel, they'll get to it when they get to it. It's.... fine, probably.]

Excellent! Fraldariend is essentially a horse, after all. [Dimitri, gonna explain what that means - okay no, too busy for the time being.] Martlet will make her way to the town you are at as quickly as possible. Keep an eye out for a brilliant red hawk, for that is her. She will deliver Fraldariend to you.

[And he's already made arrangements, too!]
nastyboy: (I feel bad for anyone who has ever)

There are many other creatures here that make excellent riding companions, but familiar shapes certainly help in riding well at first. And Fraldariend's abilities will help ensure that the ride is even smoother.

[Thank goodness for psychic types, really.]

Are you in a slightly safer area, now...? I can tell you more about them, if you would like.

It is nothing. For those of us in our rather peculiar situation, we are best suited for helping each other out. This kindness was paid onto me when I first arrived here; sending it forward is the least I can do.

At any rate... First, I do apologize for that woman back there. She is... confused, as you can tell. Unwell, I think. She is always going through the same motions, so... [Well. Yeah. Dimitri feels sympathy for her.] Did she at least give you a small white and red ball...? She should have.
nastyboy: (Interviewer: You have a 5 year gap)

She is. Never does she seem to question our appearance. Still, she always manages to have a meal and a bag ready for anyone who appears in her home. I think... her heart is in the right place, even if her mind is somewhat hazy. So I do hope you forgive her for her actions. I wonder if she was even aware of what was outside her door...

[Yes, Mirable was yelling it at the top of her lungs, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Not when one is lost inside their own head to such a degree. Dimitri would know.]

Within that ball - although this may sound incredible and hard to believe - dwells a creature. They are meant to be your companion as you make your way through this world. If you click the button, they should make their way out.
