[Video]

[The video feed opens up rather shakily, as the young man holding the camera is moving rather erratically with it while it broadcasts. Despite the unsteady camera, a mess of blonde hair can be made out. Just as suddenly as the feed had begun, though, the shaking stops and the feed steadies.]

Well hey der everyone! Joey Wheeler comin' to you live from Goldenrod City!

[He leans-in and gives a thumbs-up to the camera.]

Ya know, I been usin' dis Pokégear for a while now but I never realized it could do cool stuff like let you talk to people through camera. Shows me for not takin' da time to get familiar with the little doohickey I s'pose, but how cool is dis? Phones were pretty cool back in Domino, don't get me wrong, but dis is on a whole new level!

[Joey sticks his bottom lip out and nods in affirmation of his own statement.]

I know der ain't no way I was the only one whisked away to dis here world though, so who else is out der?

Dey didn't have holograms?

[Joey ponders for a second.]

I wondah if der' just weren't any Duel Monstahs events in your neck of da woods. Kaibacorp seems to be da mooks with all da stuff for dem kinds'a things, so if they don't have a Kaibaland or a tournament or nuthin' where you're at dat might be what's goin' on. Da solid stuff is super cool, so you gotta see it when you can.

[seacub]

Nope. It feels like something that would've come up too...there's no way the amusement parks wouldn't have been all over that. And if Kaibacorp was televised enough, I definitely would've heard about it then...

I guess it's a difference between our worlds?

[infernofireblast]

Maybe, but dat makes me wondah what othah stuff der' might be ta tell for sure.

[He thinks for a minute, trying to come up with specific landmarks people might know. Suddenly, he snaps his fingers and looks back to the camera.]

Kaibacorp made a big space station over Domino City, and der's dis big elevatah dat goes all da way up ta outah space! You can see it from all ovah, so maybe dey got somethin' like dat where you're from too.

[seacub]

Not at all...

...I get the feeling the big source of difference is just that we don't have a 'kaibacorp'- it sounds like they made a lot of impressive innovations where you came from!

[infernofireblast]

Damn... if you don't got Kaibacorp, den' you evah heard'a Insustrial Evolutions? Dey're da folks dat made da game'a Duel Monstahs, so all of dem big cahd game events are cuz'a dem.

[He touches his index finger to his lips in a kind of "hmmm" gesture.]

If you ain't got Duel Monstahs in your world doe", den dat's a lot of world-endin' events that you musta gotten to avoid.

[seacub]

Nope. None of them.

[.............................................................Emporio looks curiously blank faced as he answers that last one.]

Hah. ....Well, 'one' might be more than enough for most, [he eventually says as he looks away.]

[infernofireblast]

[[My apologies for the delay in tags. I've been working to get the Journal Pages for Lucius and Joey actually presentable and that's been far more demanding than I expected. Lucius’ is pretty much done now, but Joey’s got a lot more work left, but I’ll do my best to make sure they’re coming through in a timely manner.]]

[Joey knows that look.]

I know dat look. I'm guessin' your world's had more den its fair share'a cooks tryin' ta burn it all down too>?

it's ok i too, am turbo delayed...

[seacub]

...Well.

...Once was enough for it honestly.

[............Oof.] ...I won, but...

Re: it's ok i too, am turbo delayed...

[infernofireblast]

Sounds like when da dust settled things weren't lookin' too hot. Sorry ta hear dat bud.

[Joey looks sympathetically towards the camera.]

We've had some wins that sure don't feel like wins before, and that kinda thing just leaves ya feelin' hollow even when you're da one that's s'posed ta have come out on top. You look pretty young ta be dealin' with that kinda stuff too, so I'm sorry ya had ta go through dat.

holds my head It's like if Mokuba had to save reality aLONE, wah

[seacub]

[The most he gives is a shrug. It's not really anything anyone wants to get into right now, and there's better things to talk about.] It's been a while... [Implying he was even younger, yikes-] And well, I'm here now at least. And I get to try taking on the champion, too!

I even get to fight with pokemon most haven't seen in years! [he adds with a grin. Thanks, Time Travel event!]

Sorry for posting delays. Been sick since Christmas and just getting better U_U

[infernofireblast]

Dang. You musta been at da whole "world savin" business from real early. Makes me think'a Yuug honestly. Dat kid's been catching himself in weird occult crap for as long as I can think of. It's a heckuva recipe dat games always end up bein' what bites him on da but, but dat he lives with his grandpa in a friggin games shop. Dat's whatcha call a fatal attraction eh?

[Joey gives a good laugh. He used that phrase right... right? Yeah. Damn he's cool.]

it's all good!!! I hope you get well soon...

[seacub]

[There is a pained smile again.] Hah...y...yeah. Fatal...

[ABORT TOPIC JOEY,]

I guess I didn't live somewhere that peaceful though, so that wouldn't help...
