1st Strife [Text]

[used_puppets]

[After the first initial shock of finding himself on the wonderful world of Pokémon, because, seriously, that's the last place Bro expected to end up after what happened to him, he takes the time to check his belongings and he is far from amused.

Remember how you can't bring weapons to Johto? Well...]

wow really hysterical guys, my face is contorting with laughter over here.
seriously the sound of my laugh is echoing all over this shitty three buildings large town.
someone call the paramedics before i run out of air.

[Bro pauses his typying, eyes the oversized praying mantis standing by his side and continues.]

look i can understand stripping me from my sword. don't want anyone running around with swords and vandalizing buildings or destroying the lovely scenery.
totally can follow you people on that.
and i know you guys tried to compensate for this mess giving me this insect with blades for hands and ok it was a nice gesture. not looking a gift horse in the mouth and all that.
there is just one tiny little thing which just goddamn baffles me though.
i would like to know where the fuck is Cal.
because this sure as shit isn't funny.

[It just so happens Johto took Lil' Cal, Bro's prized puppet, away from him, because, really, that thing is a menace in his hands. And you know Cal is important because his name is capitalized. Needless to say, he isn't pleased by that.]

now whoever has him has exactly five minutes to bring him to me.
otherwise i'll have to tell blossom here to re-arrange this entire town.

[And he means it (although he doesn't know his Scyther can't actually destroy New Bark, he's just assuming it because GIANT PRAYING MANTIS WITH BLADES FOR HANDS). Someone better tell him Cal isn't a thing that exists in Johto and that no one actually "stole" it from him. Watch this full grown man slowly freak out when he realizes Cal is no more.]

...Bro?

[[Helpful, ain't she?]]

[used_puppets]

[It takes Bro a minute or two to link a face to the name attached to the message. Give a guy a break, he's still a bit at a loss.]

hey.
you are that girl, dave's friend right?

[OK, now he knows for a fact that he isn't into some post-death hallucination, because he wouldn't be dreaming up his kid brother's friends.]

[Text]

[tentacletrainer]

Correct.
Rose, to be more specific for you.
Welcome back to Johto.

[roemance]

vvery funny davve

[Not even checking the POke ID or anything, just putting it down to Strider trolling he didn't even really read]

[used_puppets]

[Just be thankful you aren't within range, or else Bro would have to bitchslap you for that.]

look i have no fucking clue as to who you are.
but you must be the unbelievably stupid to mistake me for my lil' brother.

also, i think there's something wrong with your v key.

[roemance]

brother
wwhat

and there aint nothin wwrong wwith my vv key or my ww key either so fuck you before you even say anythin about it

[Video]

[used_realtears]

Well...when I came here, none of my friends were here! But maybe your friend will be here later! That can happen!

[Completely clueless as to Cal's true nature. He's going to get trolled so hard, isn't he?]

[Video]

[used_puppets]

[You are actually in luck, because Bro is weird and kind of considers Cal as a "person". So, yeah, you won't be trolled.]

As much as I would like to believe that, him arriving after me doesn't seem likely. After all, I don't think he can manage on his own... [After all, he's still an inanimate object... sadly.]

Re: [Video]

[used_realtears]

[Misunderstandings all around!]

[Gasp] Really? Why not? Don't you have anyone else at home?

[moveslikestrider]

[And just like that, the world leaps up and kicks him right in the face. Dave stares at the message, and jesus religious dicks he's being stupid at this.]

sorry bro cal didnt come along for the ride
probably took one look at this place and went hell no
then just ollied the fuck outie
no one stoleem

[Text]

[used_puppets]

[Well, that saves him the trouble to actually message Dave.]

i should have followed him.
but it's not like i was given a goddamn chance.
fucking blinked and then bam!
some woman almost my age saying she's my mother hands me a ball and a backpack.
and just kicks me out to get fucked by the world.

at least you are here i guess. [That sounded a lot less nicely than Bro intended.]

[ACTION]

[hoperaider]

[Jake's sort of messing around with his 'gear, and checking the network for any interesting posts. He frowns a bit as he reads Bro's post, walking and reading at the same time.

A shame he's not very good at it.

He might have accidentally smacked into Bro or the Scyther...if his Emolga didn't shriek at him to pay attention. Jake jumps, startled, and glances up at the Strider.

Please hold while his brain tries to process this.]

[ACTION] I was just going to suggest action to you, OH MY GOD

[used_puppets]

[The hell is that shrieking... Both Bro and the Scyther turn to look at the source of the noise.

Oh OK. It's just some guy and... a kind of yellow flying squirrel.

And the dude looks shocked.]

Hey... are you alright? [Really, stop with the vacant staring. It's starting to freak him out.]

[Video]

[guardianjoker4]

[wow! More people with cool text posts.]

Umm...!! It seems that when we arrive in the pokéworld, we arrive alone. None of our friends come along, so I'm guessing your friend is still home...

[Video]

[used_puppets]

[Well, OK, the idea that Cal is safe and sound at home and not in the clutches of someone else is a relieving thought.]

I see... [He seems... disappointed.]

Well, guess I'll have to manage without him them. It feels weird though. [That's what happens when you latch on to a puppet since birth and never let it go.]

D--> It is unlikely your companion arrived with you
D--> Though whatever force precipitates arrivals here is e%tremely capricious
D--> He may arrive soon, if he is not already here

[Text]

[used_puppets]

doubt he'll be showing up anytime soon.
he would depend on me for that kind of stuff.

at least knowing he's safe back home and wasn't stolen is a huge fucking relief.

[ghostytrainer]

chances are, nobody has him.
johto likes to do this thing where it steals most (if not all) of your shit.
which i guess answers the question of whether or not you remember being here before.
obviously you don't, but that comes as a surprise to nobody.
funny though, you got to keep him the last time you were here.

[Text]

[used_puppets]

you would be right.
don't remember jack shit.

and well, guess i can't be lucky twice and have him with me a second time around.
they probably thought he would distract me from my "quest" into becoming a pokemon master.
or whatever bullshit they want us to do around here.

[video] how bout some not hamsteak on yo screen :>

[fairycircle]

Hey! Don't hurt innocent people just because someone hasn't explained things to you yet! The people in that town have nothing to do with us being here; they're only helping because they're just as confused as we are!

I can't say I've heard of anyone named Cal, but I can keep an eye out for him, if you would like. [DON'T BE THREATENIN PEOPLE, YO]

[Video] I shall welcome you with open arms!

[used_puppets]

[DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO YOU ARE NOT MY MOM!]

Tch, from what I gathered from other people, Cal is not a thing which exists in this world. And I'm pretty sure he isn't going to be existing anytime soon.

[idkmybffwaddles]

oh no someone has ur friend?? :OO

[Text]

[used_puppets]

[For a moment he thinks you are someone you are supposed to know because COLORED TEXT. But when he checks the name, nope. Doesn't ring a single bell.]

nah.
been talking to people and, from what i gathered, he stayed behind, back home.
not sure if that's a relieving thought though.

[text]

[eclectical]

[Cal? That rang a bell in Jade's mind... It had certainly been a while since this guy was in Johto. He didn't seem to remember anything... Time for her to (re)introduce herself, then.]

hi!
you must be daves bro
my name is jade
i am a friend of his!

[Text] Nyah, Jade =3

[used_puppets]

oh, jade.
i remember dave talking about you.

so, all of dave's peers are here it seems.
that's relieving.
would suck he was stuck here all by himself.
