first game; VIDEO. action for new bark i guess but who is even in new bark right now?
[ It takes her no time at all to figure out how to work the gear. Nanami is good with electronics, especially the handheld sort that hold games on them (and she did look at the games that came preloaded first off, and then wasted some of her starter cash on one or two of the others...) so it was easy.
...Except that after she finished playing around with that, Nanami spent several days trying to play the game. As in "Pokémon". She eventually gives this up, but it admittedly takes a while. After turning on the video function, she pauses. Takes a moment to collect her thoughts. This is accomplished by staring off into space before refocusing. ]
...Hello. My name is Nanami Chiaki. I’m a Super High-school Level Gamer. ...I'm pretty good with all genres.
[ That's the unimportant stuff. Moving on to the stuff that actually matters: ]
...Although this is certainly "Pokémon", it's a sequel or something, right? New locations, new creatures...even so, there are so many differences compared to that game, aren't there? Almost too many...
[ She puffs out her cheeks, a silent pout, before continuing past her pause. ]
...I started out with a partner already, without having to visit the Professor. There was no point where I was supposed to choose my partner...or my gender, or name, although I don't mind that. ...While I like Munna, that's a little weird, isn't it? And even if the plot is different in this game, which is normal...
I haven't been able to trigger any quests so far, you know? Or tutorials. ...Maybe that ferry to Kanto would be the right choice, but couldn't that be a case of skipping ahead to the boss area without being properly leveled? That I haven't even had a rival encounter, isn't that worrying?
[ Nanami falls silent for a second before her main concern comes out, said more quietly than the rest, though she hadn't been speaking loudly to start with. ]
...It's not working properly.
[ That's...that's apparently all she wanted to bring up...? Trapped in the world of Pokémon, her main concern is apparently that the game is wrong. Where are the quests she knows she ought to be having, or the characters she ought to be meeting? Perhaps it's best to leave her to it...Ah, no, wait. It appears she has a bit more to say. ]
...If there's a new sequence to trigger the main quest, I'd like to know that, please. I'll keep trying to find it in the meantime. ...Ah, it's hard to trigger secret codes if you're in the game itself, isn't it...? At least, the normal codes are a no-go. I'll have to think of something else.
[ ...never mind, this is absolutely the time to leave her to her thoughts. Nanami ends the video after another pause, undoubtedly going off to try to "start" her game once again. ]

video;
[Gurl, what are you even on about right now. Are you high?]
I am afraid I don't really follow what it is you are trying to ask. Am I to understand that Pokémon is a video game in your world?
[Somehow this...subject has not come up yet. This is news to Faize.]
video; 1/idk be done in a sec tho
video;
video;
This is the best day. The very best day.
...Okay. Play it cool. ]
...That's correct. I've played both versions.
video;
I see. Well that certainly is...interesting. [He's not sure what to make of this news at all, really.] And perhaps slightly advantageous to you, though I am unsure as to exactly how similar this world is to your games.
But I do not believe that we are in a video game right now so...I don't think there are any "codes" you can use.
video;
...There are differences, but the very basic stuff seems to be similar...the "Kanto" region, I recognize that.
[ The name of it, she means.
And Pallet Town, well. ]
...I've been advised to go to Violet for the moment, so I guess that's fine. Maybe I had to talk to everyone on here to really start my story.
video;
I don't know that that's strictly necessary, but it does seem to be how most people get their bearings once they arrive here. Those of us with access to this network tend to be more reliable than the natives.
video; i think i am actually done tagging you now
...That is, they're living here, not brought here?
video; you're never done.
Yes, I understood what you meant and that was my thought as well.
Ah, by the way. My name is Faize. Faize Sheifa Beleth. [You know since...you introduced yourself right off the bat and he was too distracted by the idea of being inside a video game to return the favor.] It's a pleasure to meet you, Nanami. Though if I might ask one more question...what is a Super High School Level Gamer?
video; you don't know my forecast
...
It's probably right... ]
It's...nice to meet you too, Beleth-san.
[ Maybe she should ask him questions about science. Then he could handle the conversation. ]
...It's a person who is super talented at playing video games. There are...a few people here with Super High School Level titles, but all of them are different from mine...
...You'd probably have a Super High School Level title if you came from my world, too.
video; i do so.
Ah, Faize is fine! Don't worry, I am not from Earth so I am not offended by first name usage. I am admittedly not sure what "-san" means, however.
I see, so it's a very special talent... I do not think I have met anyone else from your world, then. Unless they merely did not tell me their title during introductions. But I imagine doing such a thing would be normal?
video; a lucy weatherperson
...
Also don't judge her for trying to trigger cutscenes. ]
Ah, it's...a suffix. It's polite; where I come from, just using the name without that is a little...close, or rude. I don't mind doing it when people are okay with it, though...
[ She's trying to think how to explain it, but really, it doesn't matter too much, probably. ]
...Maybe. At least, I think some of them might, but some of them might not...there are several of those people here, though.
video; i'm predicting a heavy storm of katar tags in your near future
[What do you mean you reverse your name order in Japan???]
Mmm...perhaps I will meet them someday. Though I must ask, why do you think I would have such a title? Is that something assigned to everyone in your world once they begin schooling?
video; i'd do the same but this is my last outstanding katar tag so. I PREDICT YOU JUST GOT STORMED.
[ At least, that sounds right... ]
Just at Hope's Peak Academy. It's when you're the best at something...out of everyone, or nearly so.
