oops?? | oo1: enter, trainer hibiki!

[goldendays]

[Tree, tree, tree, and hey another tree! Actually, that tree looks really familiar...wait no, that tree does. Wait, wait. ALL THE TREES ACTUALLY LOOK THE SAME?? This just wasn't working out for him, first he wakes up in a small cave in some clearly and then when he tries to use his map, none of the roads look familiar at all! And all this snow isn't helping at all--heck, since when was it winter?!]

Ehhhhhhhhhh? I'm not lost, right Typhlosion? [The jerk just gives him a deadpanned look, well, as deadpanned as it could look. Take a gander at his tongue, ye fire-breathing beast!]

Geez, you're no help are you, buddy? Ah well, we'll figure it out! There's bound to be something that'll tell us where we are, we just gotta find it! [Suddenly idea! Not one that would help his situation, but it's a fun idea.] Hey, hey, bet you can't do this! [Hibiki inhales and breathes out, watching his breath come out and fade into nothingness. frost breath. oh he was such a clever boy.

Too bad Typhlosion looks unimpressed. And proceeds to show off by SHOOTING FLAMETHROWER INTO THE SKY AND SCARING THE CRAP OUT OF THE POOR BOY. (Oops, hopefully no one will notice the fire in the sky?) The attack successfully knocks Hibiki to the ground, something tumbling out of his pocket to land in the snow. Nothing on the screen was pressed, right? His finger didn't graze that voice button, right? The screen just lit up by itself, right?]

[voice]

O-oi, Typhlosion, no reason to get competitive now! If you wanted to show off your strength, you could always just carry me! [Face, meet snow. Courtesy of a giant badger. But wait, there's more. He spies the weird gadget that came out of his pocket later and holds it up to his face.] ..Eh? What's this?

Comments

[goldendays]

Ah, is it obvious? [He laughs, oh man what a great impression he's making right now.] I woke up here, but I have no clue where "here" is!

[disastergirl]

Really obvious. [It was probably definitely better that he couldn't see her face right then.]

Sounds about right. That's happened to pretty much everyone around here as far as I can tell! [...Ah.] By the way, those wings on your back are real, so don't mess with them.

[goldendays]

Haha, guess it can't be helped! [Well his face right now was no better, it was a tad bit embarrassing to get called out on for being a new guy! Hopefully he'll stick out less with time...maybe...]

Huh? Oh! I was wondering about these things, everyone has them? Even you, miss?

[disastergirl]

["Miss". It was a little awkward to be reminded of Magdalen right that second, but she would persevere!]

That's right! They're in a lot of different colours too--mine are orange.

[Well, mostly orange.]

[goldendays]

Ooh, orange is a nice color! [Reminds him of fire, yup.

He cranes his head to see what color his wings are, a nice golden color. Goldenrod to be exact, but does he know specific color names? Nope.]

Mine are gold! Does it mean anything?

[disastergirl]

[Ooh, gold. The colour of treasure!]

If it does, I haven't heard anything about it! [A pause.] In fact, I think you're the first person to ask about it.

[goldendays]

Really? [He stares at them again--gold wasn't even his favorite color, how did these colors even work?!] You've never thought about it either?

[disastergirl]

Not really. Besides, if the colour did make a difference, I'll bet someone would have bragged about it already!

[According to Jane-logic anyway.]

[goldendays]

How many people are here, anyway? I bet there are some repeat colors here and there! [So no one's special...boohoo.]

[disastergirl]

There's a lot, so of course there are some repeating colours! [Although her definition of "a lot" was a little different from the norm.]

Does that bother you?

[goldendays]

Nah, not really! Maybe if people have the same colored wings they'd get along! ..Or something like that. [Or they could just be there to look nice, he notes.]
