Return Trip - Video

[leafheld]

He did it.

My brother finally got some exercise during my return trip to the Docks. After nagging him about his eating habits and his entire lack of exercise, he finally got the exercise he needed... after soloing every single boss that spawned in Ordinal Scale.

I'm starting to think the only way to motivate him is to put his fiance in danger, but that'd be mean of me to say to be honest. And a little selfish of me.

But in any case, I'm back from the docks, no injuries, no bad ones anyhow that aren't virtual, and it seems like everything's all right. I'll be taking today off to visit friends and Ellen I hope everything's all right with the Pokemon.

I'll be heading back to Attleton to the apartment, but if anyone wants to grab a coffee with me, I'll be at moonbucks for an hour.

And it looks like we've got a ton of new people. Hi everyone, I'm Suguha Kirigaya.

[So many things were said that was confusing to him but one thing stood out the most.]

Pokemon?

[leafheld]

Pokemon. There were Pokemon when I left and got up from the Docks.

My Honedge is with Ellen right now.

[goldtiger]

What are Pokemon?

[Little girl, what are you talking about?]

[leafheld]

Pokemon are small monsters from another world, who apparently come in 18 different types, ranging from fire to rock and ghost and psychic. They're friendly creatures who have varying personalities.

Like, for example my Honedge is a sword shaped Pokemon, and he's sort of a ghost as well.

[goldtiger]

[Okay, he is going to grin a little.]

They sound interesting. I wouldn't mind meeting one.

[leafheld]

There were a lot around town, and I know that some of them have been put up for adoption. If you're lucky you can meet them, before they're given away.

I also have a few I can show you once I get back to the house.

[goldtiger]

Oh? Where would they be? I wouldn't mind looking at them to see if one needs a home.

[Cause Shiryu and Shunrei are no longer around for him to father. He needs a new baby to pamper.]

I would like that. My name is Dohko.

[leafheld]

I think the Pokemon Center in town is where the trades are happening. I'll send you the address since I've seen in here before.

I'm Suguha.

[goldtiger]

You think they will let someone new here adopt one?

Nice to meet you, Miss Suguha.

[priceofmagic]

Virtual? Are you talking about a video game or something?

[Satou gives a half wave. She's more curious than anything.] It's a pleasure to meet you, Kirigaya-san. I'm Satou Kuroneko. I just got here myself.

Actually an Augmented Reality game called Ordinal Scale. You play it in real life, using devices called Augmas and they project images over people, places and things.

I've been here for a month now, and I just got back from the Dream Docks. I had a feeling my dumb brother was in over his head again so I had to go in.

[priceofmagic]

Ah, is that so? That sounds really cool. Humans have an amazing capacity for technology and entertainment, ne?

Dream Docks... What are those? I haven't heard of them before.

[leafheld]

Pretty much. I'm ahead by a few years in my world too, so the tech is more advanced.

It's where you came out of. Or at least that's what I call them. It's like dreaming.

[priceofmagic]

... I still can't say I understand, BUT! I'll catch on.

So you basically have a dream about home? What interesting implications that would have. Then I could potentially use that to go home to Mikky and Shoes.

[leafheld]

I'd just have to let you try out my augma then, it has limited Augmented Reality right now.

More or less. I'm not too sure how it works to be honest.

[priceofmagic]

Really? That would be so cooll~! I would love that, Kirigaya-san!

Hm. I don't know what I can offer you in return, though. My magic is hard to share... and I'm not really qualified to teach anyone to shoot a gun.

[leafheld]

Hey no problem, I think it'd be a nice learning experience. Too bad there's no Full Dive Games here, or else I could show you that too.

Hmm, well, call it even for now. I'll think of something normal right?

Good to see you back. Sounds like you had an adventure.

Re: video;

[leafheld]

Good to be back. To be honest it was less of an adventure for me than it was for Kazuya.

I was stuck at Kendo Boot Camp for most of it.

[hopeschild]

Then how was camp?

Re: video;

[leafheld]

It was great for the most part. I wish I could have gone to the concert since Sinon had another ticket, but...

Well, considering the mess, I'm just glad I snuck my amusphere to the camp and was able to help my brother with the latest crisis.

[hopeschild]

That's great to hear at least. Being able to help when you could anyway.

Re: video;

[leafheld]

Yeah, and we got to fight a boss in the game. I'm really happy about that.

[hopeschild]

You must really love video games. I will admit I'm not the best at them.

Re: video;

[leafheld]

It's quite a different experience, I'm glad I got into them to be honest.
