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.]]

Technically, Jake and Jane are my ectobiological mom and dad and John is my ectobiological twin brother!

Date: 2013-11-20 05:52 am (UTC)[Fuck this shit is confusing.]
So you're a science baby that looks like what would happen if Jake and Jane did the nasty, and so's blue-eyes over there. Gotcha. That's fuckin' terrifying.

Date: 2013-11-20 06:06 am (UTC)[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.

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 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?

Date: 2013-11-20 11:02 pm (UTC)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.
