[There's a small pause before the next text comes.]

How much have you been told about the situation here?

[palletless]

well, they started to explain it i think
but i sort of blacked out

i woke up here and the doctor said he was worried about my recovery first

[not_that_sasuke]

What were you doing before you found yourself here?
You mentioned being in the hospital. Are you injured?

[palletless]

i'm not injured anymore
they said i'm mostly here for observation now

and i was trying to get home
i think i made it half-way?
then it sort of all blurs together

[not_that_sasuke]

Trying to get home from where?

[palletless]

mount silver
a blizzard hit and

well, i don't really want to think about that part right now
i just want to get home
my mom's probably worried sick

[not_that_sasuke]

[...Well. That's ominous.]

I'm sorry.
You might have to wait a while before you go home.
If you're feeling better I would recommend asking one of the doctors if you can get the formal introduction to this place before you try to do anything.

[palletless]

i'm not very good at sitting patiently and waiting

but i guess that's how i got stuck in this situation


bah

[This was almost a sensible and mature reaction until that 'bah', Red.]

[not_that_sasuke]

It will help, trust me.
I could try to explain as much as I can right now, but even I don't know the whole story yet.

[palletless]

i'd appreciate that
if anything, it's something to do

not that i'm not happy to be better, but hospitals are sort of boring

[not_that_sasuke]

It might be hard to believe, but...
It seems people have been brought here from many different worlds to take sides in a battle.

[palletless]

how can there be "other worlds" though?
i mean, professor oak said that there's other scientists all over doing temporal studies on other dimensions
but worlds? i've never even left kanto or johto

[not_that_sasuke]

I had a hard time believing it myself, but...
The technology here is much different from what I'm used to, and we definitely didn't have demons or Personae where I come from.
And while I know of a Kanto region, I've never heard of a Johto.

[palletless]

we never had any persona things either
and i think the only region that doesn't have a natural pokemon population is orre, but geography isn't my strong suite

kanto and johto are just over the mountains from one another
they're sort of sister regions, so they share a champion and a league
culturally they're kinda similar, but johto's more old fashioned

i wish i'd explored it more, now
i might not get a chance for a while

[not_that_sasuke]

I am not familiar with "Pokemon" either.
It's possible they might not even exist in this place.

[palletless]

that's just
so weird

it's like
growing up without
...
okay i can't think of anything even
it's weirder than growing up without PCs

[not_that_sasuke]

You mean computers?

[palletless]

yeah
they're called computers back home too but
everyone shorts it to PC

[not_that_sasuke]

[Makes sense.]

They're fairly common where I'm from as well.

[Though probably not for the same reasons.]
