[One] / Not a good time for pulling

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

[The view comes on to -- ewww, is that a tongue? Yes, yes it is, because the one who just turned this thing on was what appears to be a Deino, staring at the screen as much as one of those little things can stare. From the... rather skewed angle, it looks like it's broadcasting from the inside of a room somewhere, though it's a little hard to tell where.]

Nnn...

[The Pokemon perks up at the sound, picking up the Xtransceiver (surprisingly without eating the camera this time) and turning around to the figure in the bed it's standing on. The boy's looks are certainly unique, what with the snowy blue-white hair, but he seems to be heavily bandaged for some reason and clearly caught in a nightmare.]

Can't... I can't...

[The thrashing gets a little worse, until the boy sits straight up, eyes wide and sweating.]

Malik!

[He blinks a little, the daze slowly falling off his expression as he looks around, rubbing his face until his eyes settle on what is apparently the Deino off-camera.]

...Uh.

Deino!

...I think I completely messed something up, there.

WHY OF ALL NAMES WOULD YOU SHOUT THAT.

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

[What? Oh, the little... is that an iPhone? What is that? ...well, the voice came from there. Kurt takes it, blinking a bit blearily. It's kinda fuzzy without his glasses so hell if he can see you clearly.]

...I'd don't want to talk about it. Please don't make me explain.

[used_frustration]

Okay explanations are all good and buried but that was the LAST THING I needed to hear while stuck in a ruin okay??

[Video]

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

...What?

[Ryuzaki, you're talking to a kid currently half-blind, bandaged, and in bed. Be less weird!]

[Video]

[used_frustration]

[He pulls a face.] The name brings bad thoughts to mind, alright. I didn't always have these, [he continues, gesturing to the scars on his face.]

[Video]

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

[He shivers, and his hand drifts to the bandages on his arms. Oh... please tell him these won't scar...

...wait a minute.]

...What does that name have to do with you getting scars?

[Video]

[used_frustration]

The hell do you think??

I got 'm from him! Wound up in a coma for over a month...

[Video]

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

[WHOA WHOA WHOA.

Just... back up here.]

...That's impossible. I was just fighting him a few minutes ago! ...Or hours? How long have I been asleep...

[Video]

[used_frustration]

WHAT??

[HIHHHHH NO NO NO NO NO-]

N-No way! They said he was gone! COMPLETELY GONE, there is NO FU...

[It appears someone is now having a panic attack in the middle of an ancient ruin beneath the ground, not the best of things.]

[Video]

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

C-Calm down! Take a breath, please!

[OHGOD HE DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE SOMEONE HYPERVENHILATE. D:]

It... he's only been "there" a short time. I saw him appear. I don't know what you're talking about, I'm sorry.

[Video]

[used_frustration]

.... [Lots of suspicious in his face now...]

...Where did you meet 'Malik'...

[Video]

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

[Oh good, he's not the only one feeling totally weirded out by this.]

On the airship, during Battle City.

[used_frustration]

[. . .]

That's entirely impossible I'd have remembered a Bakura-alike.

[mediocrespells]

You didn't aggravate your injuries, did you? [ Don't mind her, she's just a worrier. ]

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

[He smiles a bit weakly.]

No, I'm fine, thank you.

[mediocrespells]

Okay. If you're sure. [ She doesn't really believe it but, she doesn't like to push. So subject change is go. ]

Did you just get here?

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

I...

Well, I guess so, yes. The last thing I remember is bleeding and passing out near a set of stairs, and now I'm in a bed with this little thing and bandaged up.

I can't really think of anything else it could be.

[mediocrespells]

Oh... so no one got a chance to tell you. [ And somehow she feels like she'll mess it up but, she'll try anyway. ]

You're in Unova. A bunch of us from other worlds got brought here when this Entralink thing they've got here malfunctioned.

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

I see...

Well, at least it let me finish that fight before it took me...

[mediocrespells]

[ Well that explains the injuries. And her Espeon is nosy. Say hello to a close up of his nose for a few seconds before he backs up enough to not be in the way. ]

Unova seems like a pretty nice place so far at least. The Pokémon are interesting. [ She gives the Espeon a good ear rub since he's right there. ]

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

[He smiles at the sight of it and waves.]

Hello, purple cat thing.

[mediocrespells]

[ The Espeon makes a sound that is pretty obviously a return of the hello. Hazel will stifle a giggle and explain what it is. ]

This Pokémon is called an Espeon. His name is Cloud. They're pretty smart.

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

I see. It's nice to meet you, Cloud. My name is Kurt.

[The Deino pops up in the view too, making a little chittered sound.]

And this... this is Jou.

[mediocrespells]

[ Of course she only remembers to introduce herself after everyone else. ]

Oh, and I'm Hazel.

[ Her sheepish tone matches the sheepish smile she's forcing. And she remembers that Kurt is injured. ]

I'm not keeping you from resting, am I?

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

No, I... don't think I could go back to sleep, actually.

[He manages a weak smile.]
