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.

[leafheld]

I'm sure you could. There's plenty of Pokemon left over last I checked.

Nice to met you too Dohko.

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.

[goldtiger]

If you are sure then I am positive I have a chance for one.

How long have you been here?

[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.

[leafheld]

Best hurry then, or I can offer one of mine up. I can only support 3 right now, along with Ellen's Pokemon.

About a month or so.

[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?

[priceofmagic]

If you're sure... Hm...!

Oh! I can make you a dress or something! Full Dive 'Games,' right? Do you play those games with cute avatars? I can make cosplay?

[leafheld]

Well not exactly. It's a thing from my world, we drop our consciousness into full immersion Virtual Reality, where we use our experience in the real world to play a game in the Virtual one.

Like for instance, I appear as a blonde woman with wings in the Virtual World.

[goldtiger]

I wouldn't want to take one of yours. Especially if you are fond of them.

Not that long compared to others I talked to.

[priceofmagic]

Oh, cute! Well, if you have pictures of her...? Or any outfit you want made! I'm useful when it comes to making clothes!

[leafheld]

Well, why not? I'll show you a picture if I can take it. It'll be a bit before I can get one done though.
