route_1065 | I came in like a Pokeball...

[ This is far from the weirdest place Aqua has ended up. She's paid off her debt, but she's... This isn't exactly the world she'd expected to arrive in. Yet it looks... familiar, somehow. Certainly the creature on her shoulder--a Swablu--is definitely recognizable. It reminds her of several months back, when she'd helped clear a town of its snowstorm....

It's a comfort at least, as Aqua picks her way through the routes. All weekend she can be found... pretty much anywhere! ]

[All over this land is a mouse queen. Maybe some of you recognize her, or maybe some of you are just going '... okay that's a thing that's happening'. She's taking this situation rather calmly, sitting on a tree stump and determined to finish the cup of tea that she had somehow brought along with her.]

[Well. This is new.]

[Frisk has gotten very used to the sight of monsters wandering around, but none that looked quite like these. And the humans didn't seem to be at all worried! ...well, for the most part. There's a lot of crazy stuff going on right now (they're pretty sure they saw a magical girl run past just now), but it's still almost like they expected some part of this.]

[For their part Frisk has been wandering around and checking everything out, stumbling across a few 'shortcuts' and hopping between cities. It's exciting and crazy and new, and after the repeating slog they've been through for so long, it's a breath of fresh air. But not everything is unfamiliar...]

...hmmm...

[To most people the little nine-year-old is just staring at thin air, arms crossed and with a thoughtful expression, but some might see a floating yellow star in the air in front of them, hovering and rotating ever so innocently. When someone comes close they tear their attention away from it and give the stranger a beaming smile.]

Oh, hi there!

[From what Dipper has seen in his short time here is that the journal definitely needed some updating. So he got a new journal, marking every creature he's found in it (even if his drawings were nowhere near the caliber of what his Grunkle Stanford had drawn).

Currently he's making notes on the little creature beside him, a Cleffa.]

So, you know how to use a move that puts everyone to sleep... hmm... I wonder if taking coffee everywhere with me will counteract that effect. Mabel, we've got to try this out!

Uh. Hey.

[It's hard to see where Dave's attention is aimed, what with his shades and all, but his face moves slightly as he shifts his gaze between Frisk and the odd yellow star. Everyone else is seeing this, right? It's not just him?

The Ralts beside him holds onto his pant leg, head tilted, but nods to answer Dave's unasked question. Yes, he sees it, too. Dave hesitates a moment longer, then dips his head towards the, you know. Shiny. Thing.]

Is that a new Pokémon or something?

[South has always anticipated going to Hell when she died. It was a warning repeatedly given to her by the nuns at Sunday school when she shoved the heads of boys who pulled her hair into the toilet and half-jokingly repeated by her team in Freelancer when she did something particularly reckless.

Something she never anticipated was Hell having background music and giving her a giant purple skunk. What the fuck, Satan?

Since her helmet is sporting a pretty large hole in the visor, she discards it quickly and starts her wandering in full armour with her yet to be names Stunky begrudgingly trailing behind her.]

[He'd been sick. Very sick. The kind of terminal illness that meant that he wasn't going to be recovering, no matter how hard the doctors tried to help him. The last thing Ryan remembers is being in the sky, high above Smallville in a hot-air balloon taking in a view that seemed unreal. Clark had saved his life more than a few times, but this had been a situation that even he couldn't fix. ...but he did more than save Ryan's life that day. He gave him a gift that he could never repay.

Drifting off in the hospital room to wake up...on a long road somewhere, though, wasn't what Ryan had been expecting. Least of all had he been prepared for the little Abra that had been following him everywhere since he woke up. ...was this a dream, or...?

Yeah. Yeah, it has to be. Either way, it's a little alarming at first to learn that his little companion can actually talk to him...telepathically, no less. It just as much of a surprise to the Psychic type when its trainer talks back.

Anyone traveling on this particular route (he isn't sure where he is, but anyone savvy to the lay of the land will recognize it as the route from Cherrygrove to Violet) will find a young boy walking with an Abra hovering near his shoulder, whom he is chatting softly with aloud while the Pokemon responds psychically. They seem to be in mid conversation.]

Yeah...I've never met anyone else who can do that.

[OOC: Ryan here has Telepathic abilities! He cannot read someone's inner most thoughts or tap into memories; his abilities only reach to whatever someone is currently thinking. IE, any thoughts that are on the surface (or brackets, as it were). He can be a little over zealous sometimes when he picks up on what someone is thinking, unintentionally finishing a sentence for them on occasion or bringing up something he heard them thinking about. He's a bit less inclined to do this now from his current canon point, but he's also a kid and slips up sometimes. This is just a warning of what he can do!

(ALSO potential spoilers for Smallville if anyone cares)]

[Lightning was the type to not let any of her Pokémon hang out in their balls unless injured. So here's a merry little troupe of 'mons walking behind a woman with rose colored hair. One of them sees Aqua and scuttle over.

Hope Aqua isn't afraid of spiders, because this Galvantula wants to say hi!]

[ Oh! There's a face Aqua hasn't seen in a while. She's flanked by a giant spider, but Aqua's seen scarier--she kneels down, holding out her hand for the spider. Best to not startle Lightning--so she'll just pay attention to the Galvantula, for now. ]

Hi there. You're friendly, aren't you?

[A surprised look crosses their face, and Frisk shakes their head before turning back to the little hovering star.]

Nuh-uh. I know what it is, and it isn't a Poke-mon. You never used a SAVE before?

[Frisk never met another human that could see the SAVE points before--there were some that remembered, but never anyone else that could use them.]

[It's overwhelming.

One moment, he was down in the ruins among the flowers, waiting for the others to break free to the surface while he remained Underground, biding the last of his time until he went back to the body he'd grown so sick and tired of. Being able to suddenly see sunlight- real light- is startling nearly to the point of being terrifying.

For a while, all Asriel can do is wander while helplessly carrying a little monster he found with him. A giant...seed of some kind that couldn't walk, and he didn't have the heart to leave it on the ground. (It's funny. Now he actually can feel real sympathy again...)

And then, of course, there are monsters everywhere. But also humans everywhere. Did something happen? Did the timeline get skewed and drop him on the surface, somehow...?

Asriel nearly bumps into Frisk before realizing who that is actually standing there, his ears drooping low while he continues to hold his Sunkern in his arms.]

Frisk...?

[It started off innocently enough. Komasan awoke in a part of the city he didn't even recognize, probably because it was Goldenrod. And next to him? Why just the cutest thing he's ever seen in his life. A Vanillite of all things, what could possibly be cuter than an animal that looks like ice cream?! Komasan's first reaction? Suck on its head, of course.

After that...awkward introduction, and after Komasan realized his new friend didn't taste nearly as good as he looked, his big brother instincts kicked in and he immediately grabbed the Vanillite by the hand. It's not everyday he met a critter smaller than he is, so clearly that meant it's a baby. Obviously someone had to look after it, it might as well be him.]

There there, Shiro, I'll take care of you, zura.

[He said with a smile as he began to lead the little ice cream cone around town. For awhile, things were fine. Komasan didn't even notice the weird glances he was getting as he walked past crowds. As far as he was concerned, he was invisible.

And then it happened. Out of nowhere, Komasan felt a nice hard THAWK at the back of his head, almost as if someone threw something at him. N-No big deal, right? People toss things all the time, and it's not like they could see that he was in the way. Rubbing the back of his head, he attempted to carry on... only for it to happen again.

Confused, Komasan looked around only to see two pokeballs near his tiny feet, the same two balls that knocked him in the head so far. Looking up, he jumped back in shock the moment he noticed the large amount of people who could apparently see him, all holding various styles of similar balls. Incidentally, it turns out when you're a walking dog, you tend to look like a new kind of Pokemon. Komasan couldn't feel more uncomfortable even if he tried, everyone eyeing him like some kind of prize. Even worse, he had a baby to protect! There was only one thing he could do...]

M-Monge!!!

[Run. Holding tight to "Shiro's" hand, Komasan took off as a barrage of pokeballs continued to smack him. After what seemed like an eternity of running, the two managed to lose 'em the moment they dipped into an alleyway.]

I-I don't understand, zura...

[How could people see him? Why were they so mean? What is wrong with this part of the city?

Anyone who saw the mayhem or might even just be passing by may hear the rather noisy whimpers of a very tired flaming dog. Please to be helping.]

[Light is stopped by her Lucario, who points over to where the Galvantula had gone. She nods and watches as her spider nuzzles the hand of a stranger, waving one of her little claws in greeting.]

Seems May likes you.

[It's not often that Archer finds himself at a loss.

He walks down the road with as much quiet dignity as he can muster, but every minute or so, his concentration breaks and he looks back over his shoulder.

Six Doublade, all twelve tassels whipping happily through the air, follow him in a disorderly line like a flock of ducklings. Ghost-possessed, double-edged steel ducklings.

He sighs.]

Man...

May--is that her name?

[ Yeah, no fear here. Aqua scritches the Galvantula under her chin. ]

What, like a save point?

[Dave shifts and puts his hands in his pockets, back on familiar turf all of the sudden.]

Come to think of it, I haven't seen anything like that around here. My place didn't have those, so I guess I assumed other video game worlds wouldn't, either? Like they were just game constructs or something and didn't exist in real life.

Asriel...?

[They blink several times in shock, not quite believing their eyes. Is it really him? But the last time Frisk had seen him like this was down in the Underground, before they'd all left...!]

[A wide, ecstatic smile spreads across their face, and Frisk throws their arms around Asriel in a tight hug.]

It's you! You're you again!

[Alice adjusts her glasses and whips out a notebook and pen.]

Whatever this version of the world is, it doesn't look like Dad's machine touched it, at least... But why the music? If I hadn't had worse in my head, that would get really annoying after a while. I wonder if --

[Not watching where she's going, she stumbles off a ledge and lands in a heap.]

Oh, for the love of Dome.

[At first Frisk nods along, but then...they get a little lost. What. Video game, what.]

But...it is real life. [Frisk looks around with a frown, then back up to Dave. They might be pretty meta, but they haven't reached Time player levels of it yet.] S' just the name they got.

[It's not everyday that you see a procession of so many terrifying ghost types...

Roxas and his tiny little squeak mouse, Dedenne, watch the man from a distance.]

Where do you think he got all of those from, Vivi?

[A Fennekin bounces around the feet of it's trainer, who doesn't look at all bothered about being here. If anything, she looks utterly fascinated by this place. Milla loves discovering new things, and as the Lord of Spirits, the more she knows, the better she can serve.]

Seems I need to acquire more of these Pokémon if I wish for them to aid in my journey. Do you have any preferences as to what type, Efreet?

[Efreet stops and sits there. It's not like he can talk.]

Right. I should consult with a human then.

[Milla stops the first person she sees.] Excuse me. Are there any specific types I should be on the lookout for? Mainly those of the air, earth, and water elements?

[The lack of power pissed Booker off. So did the lack of any of his vices. Not that he hadn't been abstaining since running around with Elizabeth. Speaking of which...

He's sure this isn't Columbia. And the little Cyndaquil at his side was the weirdest looking dog/cat he's ever seen. If this wasn't Columbia, and Elizabeth was here, he could get her back faster. And hopefully in one piece... He's going to stop the first person he sees.]

Excuse me, pal. Seen a girl in a blue dress?

[ Asuka does not need this right now.

She has no idea what kind of place this is, but it's definitely not home. There's grass, the water isn't red, the air isn't stagnant, there are people…and if she's not home, God knows where she is, but whatever the hell this thing following her around and making a mockery of her precious Unit 02 is (despite the fact that it's much shorter than her 80 meter mech), she really doesn't appreciate it.

That said, she doesn't really mind how obedient it seems, how it listens to her orders…maybe, just maybe, she can work with this for now. It seems powerful enough, moreso than most of the other creatures she's been finding around. Perhaps this isn't exactly the worst thing in the world…

But she's sure as hell not going to go out of her way to talk to anyone, that's not happening. ]

[Nodding, Lightning walks over to pat the spider on the head. May loves all this attention, and lets out a chattering noise, her pincers wiggling.]

Yes. She's a Galvantula. I see you have a Swablu. New here?

[ It takes only a moment for her to react: She hears his voice, and suddenly, she feels... equal parts elated and sick. It's a curious mixture of emotions, but Elizabeth isn't sure which is winning out at this moment. Sure, she isn't the girl in a blue dress he's looking for; far from it. Can he even recognize her like this? ]

It seems you've a nasty habit of losing people, Mr. DeWitt.

[ ... might as well. ]
