Rating: What are ratings
Log:


[Anywhere in Johto and Kanto, there are people interacting. Some of these strangers interacting with other strangers. Some of these folks are your old friends. The insanity has happened yet again, and boy will it be insane.

In short, this is The Ultimate Mingling post version 2, where everyone can run into each other again and again. Damage will only sometimes be repaired, but it doesn't matter--have fun with it! It's primarily for those in the fourth wall who run into another oddball from some other mythical land who's going "What's this place?" just like them, but for everyone who wants to just continue going nuts. Seriously guys, why did you guys let Sunny even bother writing a description. JUST DO FUN THINGS.

But try not to blow up the world, okay?

And as usual, any format is welcome.]

[Don't say he didn't warn you, Harry. With a classic Albert roll of the eyes, he obliges by launching into a rapid-fire explanation, voice tinged heavily with sarcasm and distaste.]

Yeah? Okay, Dorothy, here's what you're gonna hear when you get there. You've just wandered into a magical land called Johto where nobody's heard of paved roads, much less public transportation, ten-year-olds wander around alone in the dark woods with nothing but friendly animal companions to keep them from getting eaten, and some Nancy Homemaker thinks she's everybody's mom. Oh, and by the way, there's no way out, half the time physics decides it's tired of following logic, and you get a happy fun spirit guide, too.

[He scowls at the bird.]

It's probably that thing. Has it been hanging around you?

[likewatson]

[Well.

He asked for it.

Halfway through Albert's rantswer, Harry removes his hat. Unfortunately, that does nothing to help the information he's just received—if you can call it that—sink in any more easily, so he focuses instead on that very last part.]

For about two days, yeah.

[worktodo]

[HE TRIED TO WARN YOU, HARRY. This is why everyone should always listen to Albert. Always. Think of all the crises that could've been averted if people would've just done what he said.

BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.]

Okay. That's probably your...they call it a "starter" around here. It's your personal pet partner. Bad news? You can't get rid of it. Good news? ...hopefully you're a bird kind of guy.

[likewatson]

I'm not really an anything kind of guy, to be honest.

[Pets have never really been a Thing in Harry's life. Why take on the responsibility of another life when he's got a whole town to look after?

...but Waldo's kind of cute, he guesses.

And Harry really likes the way the bird's trying his damnedest to peck through Albert's shoe all over again. Memory like a goldfish, this thing.]

Partner for what, exactly? What am I supposed to do with him?

[worktodo]

[He will sic his bird dog on that thing, Harry, so help him god.]

You noticed yet that your gun's gone missing?

[Except that this is fourth wall, so it's entirely possible that it hasn't. But Albert doesn't know that yet.]

Around here they use animals to fight instead.

[likewatson]

[His hand snaps to his side. Does he really need to answer that question? Because the look on his face says it all.]

...what, like dog fighting?

[worktodo]

Or cat fighting, or bird fighting, or pony fighting.

[At this point, a well-groomed Poochyena comes trotting up and sits obediently at Albert's side for a minute before — WAIT, IS THAT A BIRD.]

Some of us get dogs.

[likewatson]

[And there goes Waldo, right the hell away from Albert's shoe. He hurriedly wobbles behind Harry's leg, at which point Harry—who is not at all Okay with the idea of making these things fight—scoops him up and gives him a reassuring little pat on the head.

No dogs are going to eat you today, helpless creature.]

Okay, that explains the animals. Fine. Now there's just the issue of how we got here in the first place. Got any good answers for that one?
