❀ 1st Konpeito ❀ [Video]

Someone better- better explain this to me! Before I-

[Someone's screaming into the receiver, mouth and face too close to identify them. However, the voice sounds young and feminine, and it's screeching.] I- I don't want to be here! I want to go HOME! WHERE AM I?!

[The video feed suddenly drops on the ground. For the next few minutes, you can hear sobbing in the background. And then the door opening. At one point she starts screaming and suddenly there's the cheery tune of a Christmas song starting, before the door slams roughly. After a while more and a bit of 'Mawile, mawile?', she finally comes back into view.]

...Ugh. If anyone makes fun of me, I'll rip your head off.

[There's a girl on the camera, wrapped up in so much towels, spare trainer sets and so on that she looks more like a ball of tossed clothes than anything else. Her Mawile tries to snuggle in with her, but she visibly pushes it away and pins its head against the floor. The Pokémon's back mouth snaps in shock, but she doesn't pay much mind.

Her eyes have rings of red around them- hell, her entire face is extraordinarily red. It seems that apart from the cold, she's also been crying.] I'm the Saionji Hiyoko. SHSL Classical Japanese Dancer. From the super-famous Saionji clan.

People keep telling me to leave this town and go beat some Gym Leaders or something, but who cares?! It's cold, this is stupid, and all I have for defense against all these monster-things is... another monster-thing. [Ayani the Mawile perks her head up.] It's not stinky or mean, but it's stupid and rock-hard like metal and just makes me colder! Plus, there's a weird red-nosed deer outside the door that wants me to 'ride it into Cherrygrove in the name of Christmas' or something. Isn't that all a Western tradition? Christmas is just a some event that gives you discounts in stores where I come from. Figures, scummy foreigners just love shoving their shit in everyone's face, even someplace like here... what even IS this place?

...Is there a chance... [She suddenly seems reluctant to say the next few words, but her face turns sour again- almost in realization- and in an instant just spurts it out.] Is this place yomi? It's cold and dead, that's all I can tell! All it's missing is the huge dirty river that separates us from the living realm. I want to give that stinky rotten Izanami a piece of my mind for allowing me to suffer like this! Where is she?! And- [Saionji grabs her Mawile, and both mouths start yapping-] What kind of Yomotsu is Ayani?! [If you're not familiar with Shinto lore, the girl on the video feed is currently spouting nonsense. And even if you are familiar with Shinto lore, her yelling and complaining is so jarring that you'd mistake it for nonsense anyway.]

[ SHSL... If the screaming and sobbing hadn't already caught Naegi's attention, that alone would have. Once he's done watching the video, he immediately replies because this girl probably needs someone friendly to welcome her to Johto. ]

Um, Saionji-san, this isn't Yomi. This place is called Johto. That creature of yours is called a Mawile, and it's a Pokémon.

[ ........Ah, that voice...she knows that voice. And that face. A classmate. Someone who probably will recognize her on sight, too, for a change.

...

Probably...? She didn't mention anything that would prove she wasn't from a different time period, but there's really only one way to find out, anyway. ]

...Saionji-san, did you ever play Pokémon...? A game where you collected cute monsters...

[Kuwabara laughs. All of this ~~reminds him of when he first got here and was certain it was the spirit world~~ is really amusing and it's all in good spirits, yep.]

It's not a yomi, it's just winter. It's an odd world but most everything's safe here.

["Huge dirty river that separates us from the living realm", huh? Now that's a ping right there! Yusuke had initially begun watching Saionji's video after the sound of her screaming and crying set off nearly every goddamn alarm bell in his system, but after he realized that she wasn't in any immediate danger and was, in fact, just scared and pissed off about waking up here in Johto, he kinda... tuned out the rest of her shrieking and carrying on and started doing something else while still tuned into her broadcast. Oops. He's quick to snap back to attention after that last part, though! And it isn't long after she finishes speaking altogether that she receives a video from him in return. Have a punk with a pompadour all up on your screen, Saionji.]

Listen, if you're thinking this place is the afterlife or something, you're wrong. Trust me, this place ain't nothin' like the afterlife.

[Super High School Level Classical Japanese Dancer, huh? She must be from the same class Nanami was in. Mondo takes a few minutes to respond, trying to figure out what to say to the obviously distressed girl.

Mondo looks the same as always despite the weather; his hair is styled up in the ridiculous pompadour and he's wearing the Crazy Diamonds jacket. It looks like he's outside somewhere, but he doesn't seem to be bothered by the cold.]

I know this shit's pretty crazy, but you're not dead. At least, you're not dead here, I dunno about back home.

[He winces a bit at that and quickly presses forward.]

Have you heard of Pokémon? The game? This place is like that; you get a Pokémon as your partner and you journey around the place, collecting badges from Gym Leaders you defeat. 'Course, traveling in this kinda weather's a pretty fucking stupid idea...

[But apparently the red-nosed Stantler will take you to Cherrygrove! How convenient!]

I'm Oowada Mondo, Super High School Level Biker Gang Leader. Try to calm down, alright? I can answer any questions you have.

Saionji-kun!

[Well, because meeting yelling with more yelling is certainly going to prove effective in this situation, here is Ishimaru; he's seeming a bit worked-up, but that pretty much just means it's a day ending in Y. What's important here is buried early on in what she's said; she's thrown the magical SHSL-words out there and he has no idea who she is, so he can really only assume this is one of Nanami's classmates...]

It's important that you maintain proper conduct and decorum in this circumstance; shrieking in such a way isn't befitting of your title!

[Ishimaru.]

There are many of us from Hope's Peak Academy here - myself included - and we'll help you if we can! But for now, yelling at the network isn't acceptable!

[...out of all that, he is going to bristle intensely at one thing and one thing only...]

If you think that Westerners enjoy the overcommercialized, culturally bankrupt mess that passes for Christmas in this day and age, you're sorely mistaken.

You shouldn't be so mad at it! I'm sure it just wants to be friendly with you and doesn't mean to make you colder. You can use it to catch something that's softer and has fur, but if you treat it like that, it won't like you much. [HUFF HUFF. Don't treat the Pokemon so rudely.]

You probably got taken here like everyone else. It's kind of cold here, but it's not that bad! There's stores where you can buy nice, warm clothes. There's also a lot of people around that can probably help you.

[...

Hagakure doesn't even know where to start here. Well, they can't all be as nice as Nanami-chi...]

I thought it was a weird version of Yomi myself when I got here, but I guess we're all alive and well here, dude.

That said, I'm Yasuhiro Hagakure, the Super High-school Level Fortune Teller. Uh, nice to meet you and stuff. Do you know Nanami-chi?
