There's something strange, a sudden change
Around, all across the sky;
A change of scene as The Machine
Goes wild, and no one knows why

Everyone will say it's a great display
And we brought it for you
Cynthia and Lance set off Nukes From France™
Now you know what to do:

WE'RE KICKING OFF A ROUTE FOURTH WALL
BRING EVERY JOURNAL, ONE AND ALL
HAVE A PARTY, BREAK DOWN ALL THE WALLS
'Cause it's our game's anni-ver-er-sa-ry
And we're, so ha-a-a-ppy!

[ The flash of a camera isn't unfamiliar. Naegi takes pictures sometimes, and Nanami has her own disposable camera store, since she's been taking up scrapbooking.

Mostly due to a suggestion from Kirigiri. She's not a professional or even very good, but the flash and the snap is familiar.

...And so, too, is that voice, which is what truly captures Nanami's attention. It's been half a year or more since she heard it, but she remembers. ]

...Koizumi-san?

[jellyjar]

[Oh shit a person!]

Hey, what're you looking at? Don't look at me!

[That sure is an angry squeaky voice coming from the thing in the jar. Envy can't believe that humans are going to be able to see it looking like this, and there's nothing it can do about it.]

[timelymaid]

[ This is not the fairy you're looking for, but Aradia will respond anyway, curious enough about the newcomers, even though she has already classified it as "one of those weird times in which we lose some time but for vague memories, probably". ]

Oh, hello! Do you need directions?

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[A droopy-eared Leafeon with big fat tears rolling down his off-yellow cheeks is hobbling down the street because this is the WORST DAY EVER. He doesn't even notice the rolling jar full of HATE until he tumbles ass-over-ears over it.]}

A-owh!

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[Of all the people to suddenly be listening too in this new place, this vaguely british woman took the cake. She wasn't even sure what to say at first, or if she wanted to say anything at all.]

You were taken from your estate too?

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[Oh shit the thing speaks! A normal person might react to something like this by screaming and running away. Luckily for the both of them, Veronica was not one of those people, though she was minorly surprised.]

You can talk?

[More curious now, she slowly picks up the jar to get a better look at what the heck she was talking to. Murkow seemed focused on what was inside too, but likely because it hadn't eaten in a while.]

[jellyjar]

[AUGH NO. When you're as small as Envy is right now, your jar getting tripped over is like being in an earthquake. It takes Envy a second to get back on its feet.]

Hey! Watch where you're going!

[Screams the eight legged fetuslizard from inside the jar. In a really, really squeaky version of Envy's voice.]

[incriminates]

[It's been nowhere near as long for Koizumi, but she does react with a small jolt, turning. Her camera is still held in one hand, since she's not near finished with taking pictures yet (is she ever?).

But, looks like it is indeed...]

Chiaki-chan? ...You surprised me.

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Luckily that tiny squeaky voice resonates in those big stupid ears of Henry's and they actually stand up before the rest of him does. He peers behind him at the rocking jar. It was green. He remembered Envy being a big amazing green dragon not a...tadpole.]}

What the hell...Envy? Is that you in there?

[lullabytes]

Ah, I'm sorry...I didn't intend to do that at all. Rather...I was surprised to see you.

{ It's a good surprise, though. ]

So, are these your partners? My starter is a Musharna now...though he used to be a Munna.

[ nanami she's not gonna know what the hell you're talking about... ]

[overbearingkiller]

[Give her a chance to rant and she will take it.]

Yes, it's quite distressing. It seemingly impossible to get past the staff, the pets and the gate, let alone catching me off guard.

[See looks more miffed and annoyed then distressed about the situation. It takes her a moment to realize what this young lady had imply.]

You were taken as well, child?

[jellyjar]

...huh? How do you know my name?

[Weird, Envy hadn't thought any of the guard chimeras could talk. And this one looked too wimpy to be one of those anyway.]

You'd better have a good answer!

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[The little pokemon picked himself up and turned around to clumbsily right the jaw with his paws. STUPID PAWS.]}

It's me, Henry! I just--I woke up like this. I don't have any thumbs and everything is terrible.

_{[Henry, that isn't your bananasaur friend.]}

sdr2 spoilers in here maybe

[perfectstrike]

[N o p e.

Pekoyama wants no part of this. She isn't even sure where she is right now, and her primary thought is where is Kuzuryuu right now.

The flash of the camera draws the attention of Pekoyama's Sneasel though, and if that little guy has a mind to go somewhere, he's going. Right in front of Koizumi and stopping to look up at her, one clawed paw resting on his hip. Take a picture of him! This is an order.]

Itazurakko. [Pekoyama addresses the Sneasel instead of her classmate as she approaches. She really, really is rather hoping Koizumi doesn't remember.] Leave her be.

[incriminates]

[One can almost visualise the giant ???s floating over Koizumi's head right about now.]

Starter? Used to be--

Hold on. I don't understand at all.

[They're all probably wild-- save, perhaps, for the chatot that keeps hanging around and mimicking the sounds of her camera. Not that Koizumi realises, she just thinks there's one particularly friendly bird thing following her.]

[perfectstrike]

[Sonia. No. Don't. Just. It's not going to work.

Also this ledge better be somewhere around Cianwood or Pekoyama is going to start panicking over a lack of Kuzuryuu.]

I do not believe you will be able to order the ledge to stop existing.

[In other words, hello Sonia. It's good to see you.]

1/2

[incriminates]

...

[From Koizumi's unKoizumilike sudden silence and the way she looks at Pekoyama and then away...it would appear she may remember something.

But then she hefts up her camera.]

[jellyjar]

I don't--

[Wait a second. He can use this!]

Oh. Oh, of course it's you, Henry. I don't know how I got like this either.

Hey, you should help get me out of this jar.

[HENRY WATCH OUT]

[monarchical]

[ CIANWOOD IT IS...

That voice gets a serious jump, although - well, she knows how things end, but even so... ]

Pekoyama-san! [ Oh, okay, looks like the princess is just going to be emotional at you for a bit. NICE TO SEE YOU, TOO, PEKO. ]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[The leafeon tilts his head, already worrying at the jar's lid with his claws.]}

What are you even supposed to be? Aren't you supposed to be a super cool dragon?

[incriminates]

It'd be a waste not to take a picture of him now, though.

[Just like that. And a snap of the camera as she takes a photo of the Sneasel in question.

Got it. She hums shortly.]

There.

[saxsongs]

[Oh boy, the day where everyone jumped around was here again. At least he wasn't thrown back to Whirl Islands or anything this time. Instead he's somewhere around Route 34 and...

Is that really... yeah, no mistaking it. So that's why he had those two Pokémon with him as well, even if he didn't personally choose them.

He let's Thundaga and Chasse out of their balls so they can go greet Lightning first and then follows them quietly behind them. Don't mind his face being a little roughened up if you notice him, too.]

[lullabytes]

[ Ah, right. No one ever understands at first...

And she tends to be the worst at explaining, since she always just wants to talk about people's Pokemon and forgets to explain the terms. She's...getting better. ]

Ah, we're inside a video game. Pokemon - you haven't played, right? That's right...a lot of our classmates haven't. It's a good game, though. No one dies in it, and you can have adventures.

[saxsongs]

[This is truly a day for meeting people he hadn't seen in a while for one reason or another. Ren waved at Sasuke the minute he actually stopped for a while. It's not like he can follow a ninja...]

[heartofmetal]

[Don't mind Ed, casually picking you up. Hello Envy-he's-familiar-with.]

Huh. To think you'd appear here looking like that.
