[ Two mismatched eyes, one pink and one brown, make up the majority of the screen currently. Neo is fiddling with the device, getting a hang of it. Once she notices it recording, she pulls away, revealing a girl with half pink and brown hair with a few white stripes on the pink side, and an Espurr on her shoulder. It makes a happy noise once its owner figured out the device. As if aware of the praise, Neo pokes the pokemon playfully. Her smile is pleasant at first, but it fades as she notices something and looks around. She quirks an eyebrow and looks around, as if looking for something. In reality, she’s trying to listen for something. She’s currently outside, and the buildings around her seem pretty basic to most city buildings. But there’s something that she thinks is amiss…

Text scrolls across the bottom of the screen as she turns back to type. ]

What’s with the music?

[ Never mind the fact that she’s in a whole new world without her own gear and powers. This music is atrocious. That is the true crime here! ]

Salutations, miss! Welcome to Johto!

[Definitely a newcomer, if she's asking that question. Even if Penny doesn't remember any buildings like that in New Bark. Maybe she just travelled a while before trying the network? Weirder things have happened.]

And

um

no one really knows where the music comes from. It's just kind of

everywhere. All the time.

[ There are a few things Neo notices in this single reply that may change the game while she's here.

One, robot girl got reassembled. Two, she has no idea who Neo is, or what she's done. Three, she seems like a complete sucker.

Neo's smile is a bright one, if only because this is the best thing that's fallen into her lap in a long time. ]

All the time, huh? Has anyone gone crazy yet?

I don't think so? It kind of fades into the background after a while.

Unless maybe some of the locals have gone insane. There were these guys calling themselves "Team Skull" a couple months ago, being crazy would explain a lot.

[Stupid Guzma and his stupid selfies.]

You just got here, right? You're taking this a lot better than some people!

Team Skull, huh? What do they look like? Are they still around?

Don't get me wrong. I'm pretty upset! But this music is the real torture. Adjusting to a new life is easy. Adjusting to bad taste in music is not.

[Well... that certainly is a unique look. Between her question and the fact that Elsa is sure she would've seen someone like this before, she knows the girl has to be a newbie. And as someone who's been here a few years now, it's her job to make her feel welcome!]

I don't think anyone here has been able to find a source to the music. It's... odd, but after a while, you'll be able to tune it out.

[ Ugh...it's Weiss Number...how many Schnees were there, again? Probably too many.

She doesn't believe that no one found the source. ]

Absolutely no one? Has anyone checked the sky?

[Neo wouldn't be the first person to mistake Elsa for a Schnee. Weiss herself had to do a double-take to make sure that she wasn't her older sister. With her pale hair and the regal poise she still hasn't quite shaken in her two years in Johto... it's an easy mistake to make. The big difference though is that she has a much friendlier air about her than the Schnees.]

Most likely? There are residents here who were taken from other worlds like you and I were years ago. If they haven't found a source to the music, I doubt there is one.

[ It's a step up, but also a step down. Neo shrugs. ]

Guess I'll have to play my own music, then.

Edited 2016-12-31 15:26 (UTC)

[Oh, well that catches her interest!]

Oh? Do you play an instrument?

[ Don't get your hopes up, Ice Queen #2. ]

Nope.

[aw drat]

I see, so you carry around your music in one of those portable players, then? What sort of music do you enjoy?

Something with bass, and nothing sugary.

Yeah, I hope you're adaptable, because that music's never going away. Doesn't matter where you are.

It's fucking stupid, but you learn to tune it out sooner or later.

[ Neo just shrugs indifferently. The music is a concern, but if it'll take a while to find where it's coming from, then she'll worry more about other things. ]

I'll live.

What's with the helmet? Is the air poisoned or do you just have morning breath?

[ In the latter case: please keep it on. ]

I've been here six years, and nobody's figured it out.

Funny how that happens, huh? Place has plenty of weird mysteries. Why only goats can leap over ledges, how Pokéballs even work...

I tried figuring stuff out for a while, until it gave me a heaping headache.

[ Okay that's way too long to be here. Six years? ]

So if you're not a goat, you can't jump over them?

Can't climb, either. And believe me, I've seen it again and again. People get the idea in their heads that they can overcome those stupid lesges.

It backfires.

[ What kind of world is this? ]

What happens when they try?

An invisible wall, basically.

You can keep trying, but you'll never get past it. You can only jump down.

So what happens if someone wants to throw someone else over the fence?

...Huh.

You know, that I'm not so sure about. Would it bounce off the air? Go over?

I'm inclined to think it'd land, but if nobody was there, they'd have to get up there the hard way.

Guess we'll never know.

[ She's not surprised that no one bothers to do anything. People are way too complacent. Guess it's one thing to put on her To Do List: throw someone over a fence. ]

[Oh, this person looks new. And what amazing eyes at that.]

Oh, uh the music doesn't stop. and its kind of everywhere.
but you get used to it!!

I keep hearing that, but I don't think I'll get used to the same answers.

Oh. sorry...
that's just the way it is around here. it's like a video game.
I mean, apparently. I don't know what one of those are

[ Someone lives in the dark ages. ]

I'd say it's very much like one.

[Not really!! But... yeah that's close.]

Yeah
so, uh
welcome I guess! Uh, this must all be really confusing, but that's normal.
