First Splinter ♡ Text/Video

[heartsplintered]

So we're legit in a Pokémon world of some kind here, aren't we.
Or at least, the fact that this fucking bird won't leave me the hell alone is leading me to think as much.
Are they typically this dumb? It's been years since I played any of these games, I don't even know what the hell it is.

Whatever.
Uh.

[He clicks the video option and it focuses on a skinny blonde teenager covered in freckles, wearing a pair of stupid triangular shades with his hair gelled into an impossible style that is currently being partially destroyed by his newfound Wingull. Dirk looks entirely less than pleased.]

I'm Dirk.

[[ooc; Apologies for the un-cut orange courier, I didn't figure it'd be in the best form to have his introduction post hidden beneath a cut.]]

The concept of Jake breeding in any capacity is terrifying. The fact that you're not actually a product of sexual intercourse makes it way less unnerving. Paradox slime clone babies I can handle. Jake actually knocking somebody up is the basis of several nightmares in my future.

[A slight shrug.] I guess you could start with what you know about the whole Pokémon thing. I mean, this doesn't feel like a dream bubble.

Yeah...I love Jake and all, but it is pretty clear all he contributed to me is green eyes and black hair.

[But then again Jane also has black hair so that seems a mite silly to say.]

Okay! I only played the games a little and mostly watched the cartoon, so I am still learning some things myself, but the biggest thing you might notice if you are familiar with Pokemon is there are not just 150 anymore! Actually, there might even be upwards of 500 at this point! I think the one you have there is one of the newer ones... It's a Water plus Flying type called Wingull...it's based off a seagull, get it?

[Ha ha ha...]

Anyway, the same rules as in the games applies, if you are a trainer you go around collecting badges from Gym leaders and catching Pokemons to raise. It's also how you get the best moves like Fly and stuff, since they don't sell the HMs in stores. Also all your ultra-cool abilities in your own world are gone, like my witchy Space powers and John's heiry...Breathness, and you can't have weapons here at all. I have the feeling that this is all a program that we've been put into, but I still need to gather enough data to confirm.

[He looks her over for a long moment from behind his shades, tilting his head.]

Jake's hair is a bit browner than yours. Possibly sunbleached. [He frowns, stopping himself from comparing the two further. He is not going to sit here and detail the differences between his ex and his ex's paradox ghost slime grandmother-daughter. Nope.]

[He looks up at his Wingull and nods, frowning a touch.] Seagull, yeah. Seeing that.

[The only part of that that seems to really unsettle him is the lack of allowance to carry a weapon. Otherwise it seems business as usual, and he played a few of the older games on emulators back in the day. Shifting his shoulders, he reaches up to smooth the pad of one finger over the Wingull's head.] Guess I'd better get used to this guy, then. What sort of program are you thinking?

[Don't mind her, she's just taking a lock of her hair to stare at it for a moment. Huh. It would make sense for Jake to be outside more than her, he's always talking about adventuring and such.]

What I mean is, like I think we've been deposited directly into the game, some new version of the Pokemons that a few of us know already. I'm not sure why, so many people here, who's the protagonist in everything? But a few other people I have met have been questioning or realizing that the nature of this world seems awfully "scripted." Glitches have even happened as well. Heck, there's one guy here that actually is from a video game in his own world.
