FIRST REBELLION ❅ ACCIDENTAL VIDEO / ACTION [ROUTE 29]

[glaciates]

[Isaac arrived earlier today and he's been spending his time studying the network and the Pokémon. He shouldn't be here; he's dead. He's not dwelling on that right now though.]

[Instead, he's being attacked by a Sentret. It's using Scratch on the Shellder Isaac received to start with. Both the Shellder and the trainer seem completely unimpressed.]

Tackle, Antony.

[The Shellder responds immediately, slamming into the offending Pokémon. Isaac doesn't seem to have realized that the Gear is on and viewing the battle at a skewed angle. At least he's not in the frame?]

What the hell is this world? Sure as hell isn't Amestris.

[The Shellder uses Tackle a few more times to take the Sentret out and hops over to his trainer happily. Isaac kneels to pick it up, allowing the viewer a quick shot of his face.]

I guess I'll figure it out eventually.

What country is that from?

[glaciates]

Amestris is a country.

[worththeclub]

Not one I've heard of.

[glaciates]

I haven't heard of "Japan" either, so I guess that makes us even.

[A pause. Cue awkward!]

I can't help you find your dad, but if there's anything else...?

[worththeclub]

[ Exasperated sigh. How could you have not heard of Japan? Seriously. ]

You're not one of my kidnappers, then?

[glaciates]

Of course not.

[That actually sounds offended!]

I would never do something like that.

[worththeclub]

[ Let her stare at you for a moment. ]

You don't see like a kidnapper. But maybe that's what you expect me to believe?

How do I know you're being honest?

[glaciates]

You think someone took you here, right?

[That's what she means by being kidnapped...?]

I don't know where we are, I don't know who your father is, and I don't know anything about where you're from. What reason would I have to kidnap you?

[Outside of being a horrible person, but he's not that terrible! Really!]

[worththeclub]

Well, obviously. I certainly didn't come here on my own.

[ She pauses to think this over ]

... Were you kidnapped as well, then?

[glaciates]

[Give him a moment to ponder over that question. How exactly does he respond? This is about the point where he realizes he has no idea what to do in socially delicate situations like this.]

...Is it really kidnapping if you're dead?

[worththeclub]

.....

[ She doesn't understand exactly what's going on here, but she senses that you're not exactly lying. ]

O-oh. I suppose not.

[glaciates]

[He tends not to lie, even in situations like this where things would probably be better if he had.]

...I'm sure you'll figure out what happened and how to get home.

[worththeclub]

[ You seem like a nice, old man. Even if she's totally not sure why she's talking to you if you're supposed to be dead.

Then again, she's not sure how she ended up here. So... ]

This isn't a horrible place to end up, though, if you're dead? It could be worse!

[ .... Social skills. She has plenty of it. ]

I've heard that there's a city a few days' walk from here. It'd be better to stay in a city than camp out here.

[glaciates]

[Oh come on, he's not that old...!]

Yeah, it could be. I'm not complaining.

[Though it really would have been nice if he had wound up back home again... Oh well, there's no point in dwelling on it now.]

Cherrygrove, right? There wasn't anyone who could tell me anything useful back there, so I figured I might as well see about this other town. You need someone to escort you?

[Well, you mentioned you're the daughter of an important political figure, so chances are you're not used to roughing it like this. He can't help you get home or find your father, but he can at least help you get to the next town!]

[worththeclub]

[ She's fifteen... you're an old fart. ]

...If you don't mind the company.

[ Of course you wouldn't. 8| She's Ouka. Everyone wants to escort her everywhere. ]

Someone I know from home is supposed to meet me half-way from this place and... somewhere called Goldenrod. Wherever that is.

[glaciates]

Goldenrod...?

[Hang on, that sounds vaguely familiar! Let's check the Gear for the map! ...He's picked up on this technology pretty quick despite being from 1915. Anyway!]

It looks like it's quite a ways from here. It's good that there's someone from your home here, though.

[Goldenrod actually looks like a pretty big city. If he can't get any answers to what he's doing here and why he's here, then maybe that might be a good place to look!]

[worththeclub]

[ Nods. ]

He claims to have faster transportation. ... A pony, or something. [ Idk man, who rides ponies around anymore? ]

... Aren't there people you know from home here as well?
