H...H'llo?

[The voice that comes from the video (all it shows is the dark blue fabric of a vest) is shaky, small, and afraid - but not the kind of fear that one would associate with a voice like that. It's a raw, primal fear, a fear of change, a fear of the unknown. There's a breath, and an Inkay settles into view, lifting up the 'gear to show the face of the speaker. It's a teenage girl, yes, but small, with big blue eyes and - weirdly enough - long sky-blue hair in twintails. The fear in her voice matches the fear in her expression, but she does take a moment to look at the Pokemon, give it a twitchy smile, and pat it once on the head.]

Thanks. [Now, back to the 'gear.] Somethin'...wrong. 'M not...can't...

[Her mouth moves, but no words come out, and she shakes her head. It's so hard to explain what should be natural.]

'S only...humans here? 'N these squids? No...Inklings?

[The stress she puts on that word is obvious - she needs an answer.]

...Only humans and beasts, I am afraid. It is... disturbing.

[ His voice is quiet, trying to be calm. Somebody who seems still young, but having their species altered? Though he's not heard of Inklings. ]

[It is so jarring to actually get a response, let alone from someone who also finds it upsetting that there's nothing much familiar in this place. She holds the Inkay a little tighter, as if it will keep her grounded.]

No Inklings at all? None...none?
