| [Marcello stared at the communicator, absolutely impartially and with great curiosity. Then he bent down and touched it. It was strange and left him rather confused. He had spent his life in an Abbey and never seen a starfish before - and only within the last few years seen the ocean. The memory of it - he kept imagining he could hear the waves lapping against the boat that had brought him to Neos. The Holy Isle. That memory was raw. His entire body felt raw.]
[There was a joke he could appreciate in this, though. He laughed and rolled his head back. Fate had seen it fit to keep him alive but always in fear of his life. Now he was safe. He closed his eyes half-lazily. Fate and destiny. He remembered Francisco who was the only family he had ever had: "do not be afraid, Marcello. Your destiny cannot be taken away from you; it is a gift from the Goddess".]
[The Goddess! He thought bitterly on how there was no fate now that couldn't be surpassed by his scorn. It was what he did for himself that made his destiny.]
[There, the communicator reacted to the touch of his fingers drawing down its arm. He found himself staring at words and images that grew larger, more colourful and changed. It was strange because he knew there was nothing wrong with his mind. He must have switched it on, like the papers described. But the sight was still an odd one, because paper didn't glow.]
What the - How did this thing come alive? Who are all of you!? |

| --that's video. [A certain fluffy haired Pokemon enthusiast is pointing at something on the screen of a new arrival's SFC. He's behind said new arrival, visible behind a mass of equally fluffy brown hair. Apparently he's giving a lesson on how the SFC works and doesn't realize that his point actually prodded the button hard enough to start recording.]Oh ... okay. So when you press that button, the camera feed goes right to a network that everyone here can see? This thing is kind of like a more public Xtransceiver ... [ The new arrival in question was staring at the SFC with this look of fascination on her face. It wasn't hard to get a handle on, she was just learning quite a bit all in the span of the few hours she had been here. On top of other things.. ] Something like that. There's voice mail to talk to people directly. [There's an awkward pause from N, but he adds:] You can contact me directly with it, if you want...Really? So I guess ... um. [ She looks over the device and points to a button ] Is that how I go to contacts or something? Yes, that's right. You're getting the hang of it. [He doesn't really smile, but he seems... almost content with the current situation. Odd, for anyone who's gotten to know him in the past couple of months.
He blinks twice, though, and gestures at the SFC again.] It turned on.[ She looks up at him, then back to the SFC, and blinks a few times. ] ... It did? [ She looks a little closer. ] How can you tell? The light is on. That little red one right there. It's not easy to see..... Oh! I see it now. Yeah, it's on ... [ URP. ] How long has it been on? [ CRAP THIS IS AWKWARD. ] We should say hello or something, right? Zoroark took my SFC away from me the first time it turned on accidentally. He thought it would make me help him look for food. [N what does that have to do with anything Hilda just asked?] ... you can introduce yourself. I think that's customary..... That sounds like Zoroark. [ She's not sure what that has to do with anything but it's a cute story at least? Hilda looks back to the SFC feed and raises her free hand in an awkward wave.] Um ... hi? I'm Hilda? Hilda is a trainer from Unova. [Thank you for that stellar introduction you two.] ... she's a... friend. [... even better.][ She kinda awkwardly points to N. ] I was looking for him. Ah-- Before I came here. [ No, Hilda, that doesn't sound creepy at all ... she hides her face a little at that realization. ] I swear that sounded less creepy in my head.... that sounded creepy? [And N is forever oblivious. Does he even know what being creepy entails?] You should... say something else. Or turn it off. Other people can respond to you, though.M'Gonna turn it off now. I push this button again, right? [ And with that, the button is pressed, and the feed turns off! ]( ooc: Joint post between N and Hilda! As such it should be noted that both N ( unwrittenformula) and Hilda ( ourlegends) will be responding to comments in this post! ) |

| [so usually first posts from new arrivals involve worried newcomers asking where they are and what's happened and all that, right? Not this time. Instead, the whole of Vatheon is treated to a lovely shot of a large purple cat swatting at and attempting to bite the SFC. While the video feed does show a black-haired boy in the background wringing out his soaked jacket, he clearly has no idea what's going on behind him. At least, not immediately. He's too busy trying to dry out a bit.
After a while, though, he finally notices what's going on, and reaches down to pull the SFC away, keeping his attention on the cat.]Liepard, no. [but now his attention is back on the communicator he's holding. He can't help but frown a bit as he silently examines the device for damage. Or because it looks familiar and he's not really too pleased to see it. Either way.]I guess it's been a while, Vatheon. I should probably introduce myself again, huh? My name's Cheren, and if there's anyone still here that I've spoken with in the past, I'd appreciate it if you would let me know. |

| hey guys, quick question! i havent been here that long so this has been bugging me for a bit :o
how often do people come and go from this place, anyway? is there like, some kind of pattern or something like that?
and... what happens once theyve left? |
|
| ( what good is a failed friend, anyway? )[ and the dream cuts, and a gasp can be heard from the girl under the bedcovers. silence follows, but you just might hear the sound of quiet sobs befor the feed completely shuts off. ] |
|
| [ the feed begins with the camera on the communicator facing towards the sky, as if it was turned on by accident. it's a bit shaky, and it's quickly apparent that it's on something that's moving. ]
This place is pretty weird, huh Samurott? It's like we're in a huge bubble! Kinda reminds me of those ruins we explored last month.
[ a quiet grunt of agreement comes from the thing she seems to be riding. she picks up the communicator and looks into the camera, fiddling with it a bit. ] This thing is on, right? Uh... if it is, hi there! I'm Hilda and this is Samurott, my partner Pokemon. [ she turns the feed around, showing the head of the creature. it turns it's neck and gives a nod before continuing to walk. ]
We're not sure what we're doing or how we even got here, to be honest! If anyone could fill me in, that'd be awesome. Thanks!
