aheroofjustice | 1st Soul Gem (Video/Action for New Bark)

(The Gear clicks on after a long moment of seeing nothing but static. Soon enough, a shot of blue hair is visible and Sayaka Miki is seen grinning on the screen.)

…I know I’m not dreaming, because I can feel my heartbeat! I have a heartbeat! Hello out there! Miki Sayaka, knight of justice is here! Oh, wait a moment… (She glances down toward her feet for a moment, bending down to pet whatever it is before getting up and is in view once again. This time, she has an added penguin Pokemon on her shoulder, but her expression’s quite sheepish.)

Another reason I know I’m not dreaming? This little one! He wasn’t here before, or maybe he was and I got pulled here? Anyway, if anyone’s heard of someone named Madoka or Tomoe-san…let them know Sayaka’s here? Also, finding out why we’re here would be a big help too; not sure if I can trust anything a professor or someone who says she's my mom says yet. Huh? Wait a second-!

Piplup Pip!

(The Pokemon from earlier? Suddenly jumps right off Sayaka’s shoulder in search of nearby food and a flock of Pidgeys fly behind her a few seconds later!)

Uh…gotta go! Wait – come back! We'll need more than just you to get through this! (The feed cuts.)

... You usually do not have a heartbeat?

As for why... I have yet to discern an answer.

(Sayaka's expression becomes sheepish, but she does offer Shino a smile.)

Uh...long story, which I can't remember too much about! And thanks anyway - guess I can figure that out another time.

[He doesn't question further. Everyone else has complicated circumstances of their own.]

Time spent here is unpredictable... though focusing one's attention on the present is more important, I agree.

(She nods silently, curious about what the world of Johto had to offer regardless.)

Yeah, guess so! How long have you been here?

A few days longer than yourself...

[Shino's still adapting; there's still so much he has yet to figure out.]

Ahh. So you've already been here and left? What's it like out in Johto so far?

(She'll get around to traveling soon, though she hopes it's with her friends by then.)

I am currently in next town over. The path from New Bark is quite tame if you are with companions. [He was lucky in arriving shortly after Naruto. Yumi too.]

Really? I'm hoping to meet up with some of my friends; have you talked with them? One's got pink hair and goes by Madoka, while the other has blond hair and is Tomoe-san. Or, you might know her by Mami. (Lucky Shino.)

I haven't, but will keep their names in mind.

Will you wait for your friends to reach you?

Thanks~!

Yeah; I'll wait around a while, see if they can reach me. Shouldn't really try to handle too much without your friends around, right?

(And yet, she didn't try to accept help when it was offered. Then again, the situation was completely different.)

It's preferable to have to someone there to watch your back, yes...

In the mean time... [uhh what... is talking to people. Maybe it isn't obvious, but this is awkward for him.] As a newcomer, you may want to consider picking up a free egg from the Breeding Centre...

[Sending her the number now. Aradia had helped him in this situation, he may as well pass it on to Sayaka.]

Wow...! Thanks a lot~

(Sayaka receives the number and will see about doing just that before trying to meet up with her friends. And it's not obvious to her at all; she's used to being lively and talking like this!)

I did introduce myself, right? Miki Sayaka, but you can call me Sayaka!

There is no need for thanks. Why? [a beat] Because we are both new. It is only natural to help one another.

... My name is Shino...

(Sayaka considers you a friend already, even if she hasn't seen you face-to-face.)

Hehe, that's awesome Shino-san! Hopefully we'll get to meet each other someday.

[... he managed to make a friend of his own accord??]

[Nods.] Perhaps that will be the case.
