Search One: [Video]

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

 [A video feed turns on and shows a tired looking middle aged man with brown hair. It's taken him awhile but apparently you can use this thing for messages? It meant ...well talking to people and right now he'd rather just close his eyes and try to figure out why he was breathing. But well, you can't put everything off.

He sighs and trying to ignore the strange creature jumping up and down on his bag behind him, speaks up]

Well so far this has been the better of the two towns I’ve woken up in. Things don’t seem to be trying to kill me as much as they did in Silent Hill anyway. Less fog and snow too.... 

I don’t suppose anyone would know a way for me to get home would they? My daughters still out there and I need to find her before... Well , I need to find her. Or find out what happened to her even if I can’t go back.

[He sighs, knowing he’ll regret it if he doesn’t ask.]

Also, was anyone dead before they woke up here? Because I’m really sure I was.

...Quite sure actually.

Sometimes we have to be.

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

My daughter is here.

She's who I was worried about.

[video]

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

I'll take your word for that.

[Seriously it's adorable.]

[video]

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

That's....

Well....I suppose they don't sound all that dangerous.

[So far this place>Silent Hill.]

[video]

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

That's true.

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[...]

Oh! Oh. Uh, congratulations then?

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'm just glad she's alright here.

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

.....Killer bugs.


Did ...they actually kill anyone?

[He's not really sure if he can die here?]

[Video]

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

You're right. I don't know what I was thinking.

....

Maybe if it was fluffy.

[Yes he went there.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[Good, he's finally seeing the ligh-- .... Oh no he di-in't.]

[Heather takes a moment to look comically outraged.]</sub>




.... That's it. I'm running away and joining the circus.

[Video]

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

Do they even have those here?

[Amused smile]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

I've seen a few on the road.

<sub>[Traveling trainers with performing Pokemon...]

[But the question, in any case, makes Heather swing in a slightly more relevant direction.]</sub>

How much do you know about this place so far?

_{[He mentioned people had already talked to him... new folks DID tend to get slammed with either welcome-wagon informants or people going "yes you're stuck here so suck it up and stop whining" right off the bat.]}

[Video]

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

Not much. Just that these things apparently fight each other. Strange things happen here once a month and that I should read a pokedex or something along the lines.

[He still has to figure out how Lisa would fight anything.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

... Well, there's a liiiiiittle more to this place than that.

_{[Not that she could blame people for simplifying...]}

I've... kinda been here awhile.

So I'll-- ... I'll help you get the hang of things.

_{[... Assuming, again, that this was real. Not not just wishful thinking on the part of her unconscious mind. ... Or a ghost Pokemon messing with her head.]}

[Video]

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

Alright.

Where are you now? Someone mentioned a city?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

I'm in a city called Goldenrod. It's... a pretty long ways from New Bark.

_{[... A pause.]}

You are in New Bark, right?

[Video]

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

I think I am?

[Looking around.]

Someone said something about maps.

[He hates maps thanks to Silent Hill.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[Heather has learned the virtues of MAKING HER OWN because hot damn, that had saved her life on more than one occasion.]}

If it's a teeny-as-hell neighborhood with a little science lab and... houses, and nothing else, it's New Bark. _{[The place wasn't a town so much as one of those little self-contained clusters of houses with a pretentious name...]}

Anyway, uh-- there IS a map function on this thing-- see the green button under the screen?

Press it.

_{[... And she'll just be here praying that he doesn't techno-fail and accidentally end the video feed or something.]}

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

It's about as weird as most worlds-- um, not that I've got a whole lot of experience with that.

[ ... sans the TV, but eh. ]

[video]

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

I guess I'll have to wait and see for myself then.

[Video]

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

Then yes. That's where I am.

[And he's going to press it. Okay.

Map.]

....I don't suppose I can mark on this though, can I?

[How will he mark all the locked doors?]

FFFFFFF that icon

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

Guess it's a lot better than going back where you came from. [Getting killed and being chased after by the very things trying to kill you is uh... not exactly his version of a good place.]

Re: [Video]

[foolishwren]

... No, dad. No, you can't mark on it.

_{[THIS IS LIKE THE TIME SHE WAS TRYING TO TEACH HIM ABOUT THE INTERNET. But in any case, don't worry Harry. In this world, all the locks are NOT broken.]}

Most of this place is wilderness anyway so there's no, like... streets to navigate. Anyway, if you zoom out a little, you should see a few cities and towns marked.

See that big one labeled to the northwest, kinda next to the ocean? That's Goldenrod.

_{[It wasn't HELLISHLY far away from New Bark, but it was... pretty far. :(]}

[video] *apologizes for being late*

[usedgrace.livejournal.com]

People here say that this place can bring back the dead, but I your the first one I've spoken to to have gone through such a phenomenon.

As for myself... I don't know whether I'm alive or... [She swallows.] dead back home.

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

If you've got questions, just call, okay?

[ gotta help a friend's daddy. ]
