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.]

[Interest piqued at the sight of a ghost pokemon. He blinks, somewhat bewildered at the sudden white noise, but he does catch that muttering and his brows knit in a vaguely unimpressed way. Scare him? Good luck.]

That's- yeah, I've gathered most of that so far. It would seem really fun if it wasn't so ...strange.

Hey, once you get past all the odd twists this world chucks at you, I'd argue that it is fun. Not every day you get to explore two whole regions filled with fighting monsters.

[But Riku is biased in that he still thinks his world is boring by comparison.]

I guess. Have you been here a long time?

I'm going on my third year here. I know that probably sounds daunting, but it's really not as bad as you think. Especially since time doesn't pass back in your world.

Wait, really? Time doesn't pass at all?

Not a second. I've talked to enough people who've come and gone or gone through the comas who've said just as much.
