Is... Is this thing on? [ The video feed shows her picking up the PokeGear and lifting it up closer to her face as she scans it curiously. Shakes it a little before letting out a small sigh and her finger comes up to press more buttons, and she blinks, as a minimap appears on the screen. ]

... "the world of Pokemon." [ She frowns a bit. ] But what am I supposed to do? How am I even... here?

[ Her expression dissolves into a thoughtful as she continues to scan the map, a dot on the map indicating her position. Then she looks off to the side, to the road nearest to her, before turning back to screen. ]

This thing doesn't seem like it'll give me answers... [ Reaches up to slowly turn the PokeGear off. ]

[ That's a first she's heard about her own name. ] You think so?

[ video ]

[angelicdelights.livejournal.com]

Mm-hmm! [ Have a nod. Because she's clearly one to talk. ] I've never met a Xion before.

[ video ]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Oh... So you didn't meet the one who was here before?

[ video ]

[angelicdelights.livejournal.com]

There was one here before? No, I guess I must've missed them. [ She shrugs. ] I haven't been here very long, though.

[ Nods, then thinks up one... ] Um, I haven't met a Rinoa. It's a pretty name.

[ video ]

[angelicdelights.livejournal.com]

[ Rinoa laughs. ] Thanks! I like it, too.

You know...if you ever need any help, Xion, feel free to ask! Things can be a little confusing at first.

[ Nods, thinking up a question. ] People have said that the next town from here is called Cherrygrove... What do I do when I get there?

[ video ]

[angelicdelights.livejournal.com]

What do you do...well, I guess that's up to you! [ Thoughtful tilt of the head, resting her finger on her cheek. ] Most people move on to the next town after that, but you could stay there for a while, if you wanted to.

I mean, there's a hotel there you can stay at, and people said that jobs were available...

[ Nods at the information. ] Is it dangerous from New Bark Town to Cherrygrove?

[ video ] fff don't mind my stupidity

[angelicdelights.livejournal.com]

Dangerous? Maybe a little, in this weather, but you should be fine. [ Smile of confidence! ]

...Well, as long as you have your partner and avoid ledges!

[ video ] not stupid!

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

[ Blinks in confusion. ] Ledges? What's wrong with them?

[ video ] when I can type/respond to the right comments, maybe

[angelicdelights.livejournal.com]

Uh. [ How to explain... ] Apparently you can't climb them, no matter how easy they look. I heard they're deadly...or at least very painful.

[ video ] I didn't see anything wrong, actually?

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Oh. [ Thinks of something quite similar to what Rinoa's describing. ]

I think I know what you mean. I just walk around them, right?

[ video ] WELL IN THAT CASE /distracts

[angelicdelights.livejournal.com]

That should work, yep! You can also jump off them, I guess, just never climb up.

[ video ] fffff! /distracted

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Weird.

[ A pause, then... ] How long have you been here?

[ video ] victory! \o/

[angelicdelights.livejournal.com]

Hmm...it's been about a month now! [ Thinks about it again, then nods to confirm. ] I know some people who've been here for a lot longer, though.

[ video ]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Don't people want to go back? To wherever they belonged?

[ video ]

[angelicdelights.livejournal.com]

Of course! [ Whoops, she shouted that a little louder than she meant to. Her voice takes on a softer, almost apologetic tone. ] But it sounds like there's no way home. At least, no one's been able to go back willingly.

[ Someone had said something else, though... ] I was told that our best chance is to collect the badges from each city, but nobody knows what happens after that.

[ video ]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Badges? [ Briefly wonders if those badges had anything to do with becoming a "Champion" that Larxene and Marluxia mentioned. ]

[ video ]

[angelicdelights.livejournal.com]

I think you have to win battles for them...I'm not really sure. Sorry!

[ video ]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

No, it's fine. I'm still new here, so...

Have you heard about a "Champion"?

[ video ]

[angelicdelights.livejournal.com]

A champion? [ Frown. ] No, I haven't heard anything like that...

[ video ]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Oh, someone I know mentioned something like that... It seemed rather important, and these badges could tie into them. Just a thought.

[ video ]

[angelicdelights.livejournal.com]

Maybe we'll become some sort of champion if we collect all the badges? [ Shrug. ]

[ video ]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

That could be the idea. [ Thinks. ] You said we might have to battle for those badges, though. Where?
