originofawesome | Diary of the Awesome Me 001 || Video/Action right outside of New Bark Town

[There is an angry red eye in the screen, before it backs up to reveal an irritated albino.]

JAPAN!

[No way his hallucination could last this long, and he’ll be damned if he’ll let Japan get away with it.]

This is your fault!

[He jabs his finger at the screen.]

I know everyone wants me and my greatness, but kidnapping is illegal under international law! I demand compensation, and you better return me now or-

[There is suddenly a blur of colors, accompanied by a stream of loud German and English curses as Prussia trips over a row of bushes. Someone wasn’t watching where he was going while angrily yelling at the PokéGear.]

Uh – ahaha…ha…FUCK.

[There’s a thud and a view of the sky as Prussia drops his PokéGear and backpack in favor of running from a flock of extremely angry Spearow, hell bent on punishing him for ruining their nests.]

[Cooper's not very convinced but looks sort of amused. And sounds it as well.]

Alright, if you're certain.

From:

originofawesome

[Are you humoring him, cause he doesn't like that. 8|]

I always am!

[long pause]

Where the hell are we?

From:

tapestodiane

_{[A little, maybe! Coop's not one to argue with people over things like that, really. If you say you don't need help then you won't get any. :D]}

People have told me this place is called Johto, but where precisely this is, I can't tell you. It seems to be a different world, really. [He looks pretty happy saying this.]

From:

originofawesome

[Keep your humoring to yourself. B| ...Well, at least he's smart.]

So we're stranded and have no idea where we are. Fucking hell.

[Your cheeriness is unsettling. Why are you happy being stuck in this new world. 8|]

From:

tapestodiane

Yes, that seems to be the case. But I know there are people trying to figure it out, including myself. So with any luck, this might get resolved fairly quickly. I wouldn't count on it, though.

[He relaxes his stance and gestures at the surroundings] Like it or not, this place is quite extraordinary. I think it's a nice break from the mundane.

[Coop's such an optimist. 8D]

From:

originofawesome

So nothing yet.

[He looks around when Cooper gestures.]

It looks like someone crazy tried to recreate the cartoon.

[Yeah, he's not too impressed, especially when this environment already attacked him. He nods in agreement.]

Better than paperwork.

From:

tapestodiane

I'm not very familiar with cartoons, but I think I see what you mean.
_{[Oh pff attacking environment, you take that in stride.]}

Agreed. [He smiles, then scans the immediate surroundings.] Assuming you just got here, didn't you also get a partner?

From:

originofawesome

Probably an obsessed fan.

[You get used to it, unfortunately. 8|]

Why the hell would kidnappers give us Pokemon?

[Why not. Might as well root through his bag for his Pokeball.]

From:

originofawesome

[SUCCESS. THERE IS THE POKEBALL, IN ALL ITS GLORY.

He throws it, definitely excited now.

It opens, to reveal--

Pidgey.]

From:

originofawesome

[WHAT. Nononononononono this is not befitting of the great Prussia!]

From:

tapestodiane

[Cooper looks on with GREAT INTEREST and looks pretty happy to see that this man's got a bird pokémon as well! Holmes the Hoothoot has been keeping a pretty low profile, half-asleep some distance away.]

Another bird pokémon then? Well, it seems to be gentler than the wild ones. [He leans down to get a better look, not at all oblivious to Prussia's disappointment, simply choosing to ignore it.]

From:

originofawesome

[Sob...he's still frozen in horror. Prussia deserves a Pokemon that exudes awesome and induces fear in all (but him of course). He just stares as Pidgey hops up to Cooper curiously.]

Pi Pi?

From:

tapestodiane

[Cooper squats down to hold out a hand towards the bird, his smile growing as the Pidgey draws closer. He always loved wildlife. This is, in his book, really awesome. No matter if Prussia agrees or not.]

Hey, little fellow. [Then, directed at Prussia, though he's not looking at him] Seems like a good partner.

From:

originofawesome

[Pidgey gently pokes at Cooper's hand, wondering if there is any food. When she doesn't find any, she looks up at him accusingly, wondering why he would trick her.]

HAHAHA Of course I would get a good partner! [Cooper's voice snaps him out of his daze. He uses bravado to attempt to cover his surprise.]

From:

tapestodiane

[Cooper gives the little bird a small smile, making to stroke it over the back slightly with a few fingers. ~~Baaw animals.~~]

Good to hear. You seemed to be quite mispleased there, for a moment. [Cooper does not buy that coverup.]

From:

originofawesome

[Oh. Well. Petting is acceptable. Pidgey croons and scoots closer to Cooper.]

...OF COURSE NOT. HAHAHAHA.

[Pidgey just harrumphs at Prussia.]

From:

tapestodiane

[He strokes the bird over the feathers in quite an excited way. A real life bird!... well almost. And he gets to pet it. Life is great.

...yes. He looks at Prussia with raised eyebrows.]

I can hear you perfectly fine.

From:

originofawesome

[Pidgey likes this human already. She settles down comfortably.] Pi pi!

[Prussia is staring right back, kind of sulking. He's her owner, dammit!]

Oi, Gilbird. [He's found some treats in his bag, and is now offering them to her.]

From:

tapestodiane

[Cooper politely withdraws a little from the bird and stands up, to realize his own starter has sort of joined him. He looks at the Hoothoot with a small smile, still regarding the other man from the corner of his eye.]

Would that be her name? Gilbird?

From:

originofawesome

[Gilbird hops over to him, happily taking the food. He's pleased that he and his Pokemon seem to be getting along.]

Yeah.

[He jumps when he sees the Hoothoot and points at it.]

Yours?

From:

tapestodiane

I wouldn't want to say that I own him, but yes, this would be my partner. Holmes.

[Holmes isn't very awake, it being daytime and all, but makes a sort of vague hoot-sound. Cooper likes him anyway.]

From:

originofawesome

[Holmes is strange looking...but oddly cute. Prussia holds out a few treats to him.]

Never seen that one before. Did he follow you?

From:

tapestodiane

[Holmes looks uninterested at first, but then slowly takes them and eats them rather happily.]

Yes, well. He was in the pokéball I recieved upon my arrival here. I take it he knows he's supposed to follow me.

From:

originofawesome

[He smiles triumphantly and slowly reaches out to pet him.]

Weird. Why the hell would kidnappers give us Pokemon?

From:

tapestodiane

[Holmes allows it but isn't very responsive. Daytime, and all.]

Perhaps 'kidnapping' is the wrong term, in a sense. The goal of this event might be to evaluate our responses to a foreign world, and watch our adaption to it? In any case, there might not be a manevolent motive behind it, even if I agree that we've been brought here against our will.
