VIDEO

[The feed switches on with... complete darkness. Then, the screen fumbles, before most viewers realize there's sounds in the background. Sounds that may just be furious screeching.

That... doesn't sound good. Especially coming from Saionji. The camera is shifted violently again, before a Mawile's face pops up on screen. She looks distressed- is she broadcasting this as a call for help?]

Maw! Mawile! [To all those who understand, HELP I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, NO ONE DOES! Before anyone gets hypothesizing on what happened, the focus moves yet again. The screeching is much more apparent now, as Saionji's Mawile bravely marches towards the source of the problem.]

-REAL! How dare you...!

[Oh, look, it's Saionji. Except... wait, hold on, when did all her hair grow back? The Pokémon shifts the screen again, to reveal...

...oh god. There's two Saionjis. One with short hair and one with long hair still in twin tails. Well... at least it's an easy way to tell them apart!]

Are you sniffling? How pathetic! [For ease of reference, Route!Saionji = Orange text, and Strings!Saionji = Black text. Yes, that is indeed a Destiny Strings counterpart you have there, little Hiyo-chan.] WAAAH! Big Bro Kobayakawa, help meeee!

'Big Bro Kobayakawa' this, 'Big Bro Kobayakawa' that... how dare you take the pretense of me and act like such a weak tool! Where even is this person you're calling out for? You're all alone, bitch! He must've ditched you when he realized whatever master plan you were cooking up was going to fail... teehee!

[Wiping the tears away from her eyes, Strings!Saionji suddenly raised her head, straightening her back...] I'm not weak, you dumb faker...! If you're going to pretend to be me, at least get the hair right!

You have no right to-

Izumo-no-Okuni! Help me! [And at that moment, out of fucking nowhere, a woman that looks like someone straight out of an old Japanese artwork pops up. And Route!Saionji...]

What the hell kind of Pokémon is that?! [...is understandably confused. Mawile finally drops the camera.]

ACTION

[If you have the misfortune of being in the Goldenrod City area- not that your location really counts, seeing how all the routes are fucked to hell- you may experience this scene with your own eyes instead of through the screen. Godspeed.]

[[OOC: Video can only speak to Route!Saionji or Mawile, but through action you can speak to Strings!Saionji.]]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Oi, I warned the both a ya.

[Seriously.]

[Joker pops out one Pokeball, and that sure is Lightning the Luxray almost immediately lunging at Route!Saionji to knock her on her ass. Another one is tossed out, this time towards Strings!Saionji so that the Rapidash in it can appear behind her and pick her up by the back of her kimono.]

Don't make me bring out the rest a them.

[Seriously, don't. Angel, Lightning, and Ruby are the only super high level Pokemon he has, he was taking this time to work on his weaker ones, dammit.]

[Despite being warned, Route!Saionji still lets out a shriek when the Luxray decides to force her down. Strings!Saionji is definitely screaming because FIRE HORSE IS BITING THE BACK OF MY KIMONO SWEET JESUS WHAT THE FUCK]

WAAAH! DON'T BURN ME!

[They're not yelling at each other anymore, at least! You did it, Joker! Kind of.]

[He is TOTALLY counting this as a victory, okay.]

[While those two get the yelling out of the way, Joker fishes in his pockets for a pack of gum. He takes one between his teeth before answering.]

She won't burn ya if she doesn't want ta. Flames are harmless.

[so with that settled, he walks over to Strings!Saionji and offers her a stick of gum.]

Want some? And sounds like the name Johto's a bit familiar ta ya, Missy.

[Strings!Saionji obviously looks... well, extremely freaked out. She stops struggling to summon her Persona when she realizes there's no way out of this situation, though- that she's in yet another foreign land, and this guy (demon?) is literally offering her gum.]

...What flavor is it? [She points to the gum, voice shaking a lot more than she'd want it to.] And I played the games. ...Games where I could go around collecting cute monsters were the best.

... [Route!Saionji's just staring at this point, looking like she wants to comment, but the words get trapped in her throat as she remembers the Luxray is still there. Apparently, Route 'game info knowledge' barrier doesn't apply to 4th Wallers...]

Eh... [He looks at the packet again, chewing thoughtfully.] Mango, looks like. [Something suddenly occurs to him and he looks over his shoulder.] Oi, Hiyo-chan, ya like mango?

[As long as everyone is quiet and not starting anymore shit, Joker's fine with carrying on as he is. Hopefully no one will have to be bapped on the nose by a giant lightning cat or have their hair set on fire. (Would that technically count as 'again'?)]

Games, huh? Never had any like this when I was from. [It seems like the kind of thing a child would make up, honestly.] Anyway, ya arrived a bit on a weird weekend when weird things happen more than usual, alright, Missy?

[That's his way of differentiating them. The one he knows by her nickname, and this one by this new one. Makes things easy.]

[...Yes, yes it counts as again. Not to the both of them in their heads, but they're technically kind of the same person.] Mango is okay. Why are you looking at me? I'm not the person you should be asking for that.

[At this point, they're just passive-aggressively trying to piss each other off. It's hilarious.]

'Weird'... 'crazy', 'barrier', 'usual', I'm already used to all those! Just tell me as much as you know about what's going on. Even if that's basically it- how is it weird, firstly?

[Missy is better than Hiyo-chan, at least. Degrading, but better.]

Alright, take one if ya like. [Whether she takes one or not, Joker will offer it down to Angel, who'll go over to trot to Hiyo-chan. Open up, she is stuffing this in your gob whether you like it or not.]

Well, from what I remember, seems like every few months or so, people get to do things they could do before coming here, or new folks start poppin' up outta the woodwork only ta disappear after it's all over... that sorta thing.

Considerin' yer hair is still long as ever, I'd say you're the latter.

[HEY NO SHE'S NOT TAKING IT THAT WAY... Strings!Saionji isn't very happy with that, and it definitely shows on her face, but she's not complaining.

It's a period of awkward silence when she chews, but after a moment-] So, why would any universe version of me cut her hair?

[Route!Saionji stares, and... raises her right hand, middle finger sticking out.

This place may have made her a bit bolder.] Wha- excuse me?! How crude!

Hiyo-chan, stop that.

[He doesn't even look behind him to see what she's doing. Lightning obediently bops her on the nose. You heard the man, stop that.]

Let's just say that at some point, a few things were on fire. [Lookit him, being the gentleman and not spilling the whole truth.]
