[netbook] who's that pokemon?

[justacityboy]

Hey chat help me out here

1. What's the wi-fi password? My phone's internet is cooked rn
2. Since the internet's out I can't get to my Pokedex app, does anyone know what these guys are called?

[And then he doodles several cartoonish drawings of some Sticks Creatures.

And then there's a pause for a bit, and a frantically-added:]

Oh SORRY my name is Urbain!! I'm new! ✨✨✨

If you do not mind me asking... What is wifi? And a Pokedex app?

Though, I also wish to ask -- are you settling in alright? I know that arriving here can be rather intimidating at first.

[justacityboy]

Oh girlll I've already been made fun of for explaining wi-fi badly :/ I don't actually know how to explain it but it's wires under the ocean that connect to cellphone towers and electricity and somehow there's wi-fi in that, I don't know. Some conspiracy theorists think that wi-fi and 5G and stuff give you mega giant brain diseases, which isn't true tho

The Pokedex app is just an encyclopaedia of Pokemon! Kind of like a dictionary. for Pokemon. Which is what an encyclopaedia is. [thanks]

Yeah bestie thanks for asking I'm doing okay! I'm not feeling alone or anything, people are super friendly, and that cafe with the curry by the river SLAPS.

[ancientlight]

( Ah, what a friendly person... )

I see... I am at least familiar that these devices are similar to phones, yet I am unfamiliar with that process being used here. Perhaps that is for the best if it's potentially dangerous.

Despite the dangers this world brings, it is easy for one's spirits to lift with how friendly others here are. I'm grateful that you've found help! If there's anything else that you need, please do not hesitate to let me know.

But, I must admit... this is the first I am hearing of Pokemon as well.

[justacityboy]

Aww man thanks! I'll let you know if I need help. [he will not do this, imagine not trying to take charge of every situation ever.] And it seems you're not alone there. No one else knows Pokemon either. I've gathered through my slick investigative skills that you guys just don't call the creatures here "Pokemon" though.

[Well. Yes, but no—]

[ancientlight]

I believe there are a variety of different creatures here. With as many different beings that are brought here, it would be unsurprising if ones from your own world were brought here, too.

It's not an uncommon situation for that which is unknown to be called into this world. Though... It may be for the best if they were to remain where they are now.

[justacityboy]

Hey quick Q and I'm totally listening I swear

How old are you man

[ancientlight]

( The conversation seems to have turned towards him instead... )

Ah, me?

I am several hundreds of years old.

[justacityboy]

That explains so much about how you talk lol

[RUDE??]

[ancientlight]

( Oh, dear... )

I suppose that it is strange to see someone speak so formally...

[justacityboy]

Nah formal is like a business email, this is the speech of the ancients. No offense! You just talk like someone I know who's old af. :P

[ancientlight]

While I may not know what 'af' means, no harm done. It is almost flattering to know that I remind you of someone.

[justacityboy]

Lol af is "as fuck"

Yeah your tone reminds me of the guy who gave me a home when I didn't have one so I'm a lil nostalgic I guess! You seem chill. I'm not trying to project onto you or being parasocial I swear.

[ancientlight]

... Ah, I see.

There is no need to worry! If I can help bring a little piece of home to someone, then it brings joy to me in return. Rather, I am glad that you had someone so charitable in your life.
