One Ghost

[The pokegear flips on and there is a very confused, somewhat bewildered looking kid looking into the camera.]

Okay, um. I ...really don't know what's going on here. This isn't my house, or my mom, and this place is definitely not Blithe Hollow.

Is anyone listening on this? I- this is crazy. I'm walking around this place like I got trapped in a video game- I don't think I've even played this version. What does- Ack!

[And it's at this point, Norman gets cut off because he's being bodily tackled by his pokemon, which can be seen as a Duskull shaped blur. Norman grumbles off screen as he's at the mercy of its affection.]

I'm just making a call, I'm not going anywhere- Okay, okay we can go in a minute. I kind of need you to get off me first.

[The funny thing is that he's actually also having a conversation with it.]

[That sure is a kid riding a giant armored kangaroo-thing. He then abruptly gets the notification for the response and it clicks. Oh, this is who he was talking to.]

[His Duskull is still latched onto him, but he isn't pinned to the ground anymore.]

Yeah. It's a game, or at least, its really similar to a game I've played.

[ Give Honey a second to slip off of Kan-chan's back and run right up to Norman, because what is personal space.

Seriously he doesn't know. ]

Wo-ow! So you're here, too! This is Kan-chan, and I'm Mitsukuni Haninozuka! Ah, but most people call me Honey, because it's cute, right?

[Whoah, okay. Norman scoots back a little because he is not used to people being into his personal space, or people being this outright friendly to him.]

U-Um. Hi. I'm Norman.

[The Duskull waves excitedly at them, unfazed by this at all.]

This is Romero.

[ So then he would protest to Honey taking his arm and hanging off of it? Seriously, poster child for PDA with people he's only just met. ]

It's nice to meet you, Nor-chan, Rom-chan! [ ...HE ALSO GIVES "CUTE" NICKNAMES"...

Sorry, Norman. ]

So are you going on the ferry, too? We got our ticket! Just one for both of us!

[He isn't going to say anything outright, but he is going to look increasingly more nervous.]

Nice to meet you, too. [He thinks. He's not sure what to make of that nick name though.]

Oh, no I'm not. I think the ferry costs almost as much as I have. I'm going to go towards Cherrygrove, instead.

Ah...yeah, the tickets cost a lot...! But, Hika-chan and Kao-chan are in the other place, so I'm going there too! They said to go that way, and we'd have cake together. So we just have to wait for the departure time, Kan-chan and I!

Oh. So you have some friends here? [That made him wonder if maybe someone he knows is here.]

Yes, just those two...! We were in the same club in high school, you know?

Oh I-- [Wait.]

You're in high school?

No, no! [ Reassurance, right? Except. ] I'm in university~! I graduated high school already!

[The surprise is pretty obvious on his face.]

You're in college? That's crazy, how old are you?

In the science and technology department! I'm eighteen, but the 28th is my birthday, ne~! I was born on a leap day, so that's not completely true, but this year doesn't have that, so...

Oh...wow, I thought maybe you were my age.

[He's pretty impressed though, wow.]

How old is Norm-chan?

[ spoiler this is how he looks when he gets MARRIED, years down the road... ]

Um! I'm eleven. I- sorry.

[He really hopes he doesn't end up offending the guy for saying that but-!]

Why are you sorry?

[ HE DOESN'T EVEN BLINK ABOUT IT, REALLY.

He's happily gone undercover as an elementary student, though... ]

Oh, um. Because you pprobably get that a lot, right?

I don't mind~! I look pretty young, ne?
