001; [video]

[When the video feed first clicks on, there isn't much in the way of visuals except blackness, interspersed with the occasional flash of dull light. The sounds are much more fascinating than the sights, as it were: something is snuffling at the pokégear, and after a moment there's a series of sharp thunks, as if someone were rapping against the microphone. Something is trying to eat it.]

-- Hey! Knock it off! Look, there's food in the bag if you're hungry..

[The feed swings around wildly as Sora snatches away and tries to wipe the pokégear off on his jumpsuit, then stops abruptly as he turns it over in his hand and stares straight into the camera, his expression bewildered. This thing looks more high-tech than the lifts in Hollow Bastion.]

Okay, I'm.. not really sure what I was expecting, but the everlasting Darkness is weird.

Wait, I can use Puddles to fight? Hey, Puddles! Are you a good fighter?

["Puddles" bleats a "girafarig!" somewhere in the distance. Sora has no idea if that's an affirmative or not.]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah. You battle with your pokemon and they get stronger.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

That sounds easy enough! Do you have a giraffe, too?

[Sora does not seem to realize how many questions he's asking.]

[Roxas doesn't seem to mind. Though he feels like Sora should know all this]

No. I have an electric mouse. And some others.

[Sora's starting to figure he'll learn best through just going out and experiencing the routes themselves, but it's hard to resist every new bout of curiosity.]

What others?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Uh, Raticate, Butterfree, Beedrill, and Slowpoke. I've been here a while, so I've been training them.

... Roxas, we should have a battle!

Perhaps when you get here. You better make sure you're strong.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

You bet I will! And you better not go easy on me, just because you've been here longer.
