[Audio] Intro

[breathandshadow.livejournal.com]

[The audio cuts on, and for a moment or two it's simply background noise. Lots of people, lots of footsteps on what sounded like asphalt--a city, perhaps?

Then a voice cuts in, low and smooth.] I have been informed that this country of Unova has become a meeting place of worlds. Because I am not the only one in this boat, as it were, I feel it only appropriate to be polite and properly greet this new world. So, good afternoon Unova and its residents, be they native or no. It is a pleasure to meet you.

Croagunk.

...My companion extends his greetings as well. Thank you for your time.

Oh, hi! Welcome to Unova! ...Er, I didn't come from here, though. [Can you really just kind of welcome people like that when you're still on the welcome wagon yourself? Trans-dimensional etiquette, how does it work.] Yeah, hehehe, there are a lot of us like that here.

My name is Jade, by the way! It's nice to meet you!

So many people in such a situation is very strange indeed. Your welcome is appreciated, Jade.

[audio]

[overbite]

Mhm, and from so many different kinds of worlds, too! It's all pretty weird.

Oh, what's your name, by the way?

[audio]

[breathandshadow.livejournal.com]

You may call me Shadow.

In truth, I have yet to hear anything of the other worlds those here have been taken from. If you wouldn't mind indulging my curiosity, what sort of world do you call home?

[audio]

[overbite]

[That's...an interesting name, for sure.] Well, it's nice to meet you, Shadow!

My home? Well, um, relative to here... [There's a slight pause as she thinks. Where does she begin?] There weren't any Pokémon, for one thing! Just, you know, regular animals. But the people I've met are all just like the people were back home—er, but I lived on my island and it was just me and my grandpa and my dog, so there weren't really people right there, but everywhere else. There were the kinds of cities and forests and things that this world has back at home, too! I guess the two of them are kind of similar, in some ways. Does that make sense?

[She isn't going to even try to explain Sburb, though. Nobody needs a headache here, and it hardly counted as 'home'.] What about you?

[audio]

[breathandshadow.livejournal.com]

Interesting. From that description your home sounds similar to mine. Are you from Earth, then?

[audio]

[overbite]

Yeah! Hehe, I guess my trying to explain it seems kind of silly now.

[audio]

[breathandshadow.livejournal.com]

No, it was informative. And you said those you have met are the same...a good chance most are from Earth, then. I must wonder what it is that sets our worlds apart.

[audio]

[overbite]

Well, I don't think all of them are from Earth, though! There were a bunch who were actually from this kind of world—that's even more confusing, though, since I guess their version is different from this one? I don't think anybody really gets it yet.

[audio]

[breathandshadow.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. Very strange indeed...

Well. At the very least this is something interesting to uncover.

[overbite]

[audio]

Yeah! It's kind of like an adventure all on its own.

[breathandshadow.livejournal.com]

Precisely.

[Though he's not happy with an adventure interrupting his most recent assignment...all the more reason to find as much info as he can, he supposed.]
