☄ (I. ⤞ Video)

[baremyfangs]

(Technology is grand, but Fang has no patience for it. It's only thanks to her new furry friend that she hasn't smashed the communicator to pieces.)

Alright, is it on? Can anyone hear me? (The thick accent of a female Gran Pulsian is probably pretty startling to hear anyway. However there is an almost husky edge to this voice, perpetually sounding as if she has just woken out of a long slumber.

Which isn't far from the truth.) M'not sure how much I should say. The world doesn't seem t'be endin.

(The juries out on whether or not that's good.)

This cat thing can't talk. (Yes, she sounds disappointed by that.) So she directed me to this.

(There's a low expletive and a sigh.)

Guess there's no use in hidin' it. I'm Fang and if anyone could point me in the Savior's direction, I'd appreciate it.

(No! That doesn't sound insane at all!

Another button is pressed on accident - technology can take a hike, seriously - and bright green eyes can be seen, narrowed in frustration.)

Where's the off switch? (Have no fear, a Purrloin comes to the rescue, tapping the screen with a delicate paw. Does its grin seem wicked to anyone else?)

[ She feels for the woman, because honestly, she's been there. But one thing sticks out to Naminé more than anything. ]

The Savior... are you one of Lightning's friends?

[baremyfangs]

Ha! (So Sunshine did arrive before her. There's some good news.) You could call me that. How do you know her?

(The girl sure is cute and young. She can easily see Lightning keeping an eye on her.)

[shatterings]

[ Her question causes a visible reaction: Naminé's expressions softens even more, warms. ]

We met when we both arrived at the same time. We traveled together, for a little while.

[baremyfangs]

Yeah she's good about pickin' up those that need a helping hand. (Though don't get gooey with her. Fang knows better.) What's your name, Princess?

[Lightning had been in an awful mood since her birthday. Her Pokémon stealing her gear and having awkward text messages with strangers. One of her dearest friends here leaving. And now more drama on top of something she would rather forget.

Taking a break from buying supplies for the apartment she shared with Serah, Light browses the network, and almost drops her Gear.

Could that really be...?

She takes a deep breath and composes herself.]

There's not a lot of people that know me by that name here.

[Video]

[baremyfangs]

Did I give away the ending? (Fang doesn't look sorry for being a walking spoiler. Hey it's her life too, Light.) I met a cute blonde who knows you. If you stay put in Cerulean, I'll track down that ferry she mentioned.

(No question about whether they should meet up or not. It's gonna happen.)

Who else is here?

[Video]

[bylight]

[YUP IT'S FANG ALRIGHT.]

Cute blonde? [She snorts. One of the only people that knew her as the Savior.] Naminé.

Face the Route entrance, then turn around. There's the ferry. We can meet you in Pallet Town, where it lands. Else it'll be about two more weeks before you see us in Cerulean.... and Serah's here.

[Video]

[baremyfangs]

That's the one! She seems the sort you would look after. (Mainly because she's the sort that would awaken Fang's guilty conscience too.)

Two weeks is nothin', though if you miss me that much...

THREADJACKIN' TIME

[failnought]

[ And, from somewhere behind Lightning, there comes a voice: ]

Is that Fang? Do I finally get to meet her?

[ Up pops a certain little sister, waving at the screen. ]

I've heard a lot about you!

BB SIS! <3

[baremyfangs]

I dunno! Can you meet me - (Her sass is stopped short when she sees Serah. Oh.

Wow.) This is a first. The last time we met, I was -

(Asleep.)

I see Lightning finally found you.

[freshprints]

...Were you expecting the "cat thing" to talk?

video;

[baremyfangs]

I like to keep an open mind.

[freshprints]

The fact that you considered it as a possibility in the first place suggests that you're from a place where that sort of thing is possible, and perhaps even commonplace.

[irenicly]

I don't know anyone but that title, but I don't think Pokemon can usually talk.

video;

[baremyfangs]

Shame, that. (On both accounts.)

[irenicly]

[He shrugs, not looking very bothered.]

They're pretty good at communicating, even so, as you've noticed.

[He gives a slight smile.]

My name's Banjou.

[a_sin_for_him]

No, of course this world isn't ending. And any 'savior' it has is going to be a large divine Pokemon.

I'm sure by now you've been given the rough facts of your situation. Newcomers never stay ignorant for long.

Video

[baremyfangs]

I'd pay to see that. (At least a divine Pokémon would be cute.)

Are you going to quiz me? (It might not be so bad. Lust is a pretty woman.)

Re: Video

[a_sin_for_him]

You should have been here last year, then.

If you really want one. But I'm not about to inundate you with things you've already been told.

[ladywithnovoice]

It seems like a lot of other people have already explained the situation to you. I'm not sure what else I can say besides offering to answer any other questions you might have.

I'm Red. I hope you don't mind if I stick to text.

[baremyfangs]

Heya Red! I don't mind sticking to text.

How long have you been here?

text

[ladywithnovoice]

By now, I've been here for over a year personally. It's not as long as some people, but it still feels like a while.

[...Well, isn't this lady a dish? The accent's so exotic. And she's certainly attractive.

Well, this calls for a good first impression, so before replying, Ringabel smooths out his hair. Best to keep up a good appearance.]

Hmm, well, if you're in need of a talking companion, I highly recommend a Psychic type. They've a certain knack for telepathy, and it certainly makes communicating with other Pokémon a simpler task.

video

[baremyfangs]

(She's hot and she knows it. Drink it in~)

Psychic means they can read my mind, right? (That makes her uncomfortable.) I don't wanna put that burden on any poor little creature.

video

[capitald]

Would it truly be so burdensome? I understand if the idea makes you uncomfortable, but I imagine they're quite used to looking into the mind.

[But then, he has no idea what sort of life she's lived, let alone what trials she's faced.]
