First Flake [video]

[defyingfrigidity]

[When the 'gear flicks on, the camera seems to be pointing at.... the ground. The ground, and a black-shoed foot. The camera shakes for a minute, and the voice of a young woman can be heard speaking.]

Is this strange device really meant to be used to communicate with others...? But how...

[It's then that a somewhat worried-looking Snorunt comes into view, its little arms raised. Whoever-it-was pauses before giving the device over to the creature. The camera then spins, and focuses on the owner of the voice; a pale, fair-haired young woman dressed in typical trainer clothes, looking very confused.]

I'm just not sure how I'm meant to-- [She's cut off by the Snorunt, who makes a few noises before moving closer and holding the pokegear up, getting a better view of the girl in the process. She sighs.] Okay... fine.

[She clears her throat and stands up straight, a rather regal-seeming posture for someone dressed in such casual clothes.] My name is Queen Elsa of Arendelle, and I'm afraid I've been kidnapped. I've been told that no, I really haven't been kidnapped, but... I can't exactly believe that, can I?

[Her brows furrow, then, and her shoulders seem to scrunch up a bit in a show of nervousness.] I need help. Information. If I can at least be told where exactly this "Johto" is, how far away I am from Arendelle... I would very much appreciate it. [She begins to wring her hands together, now clearly showing signs of someone who's deeply unsettled.] If there's any way at all to contact those back home... please... I need to know. My staff, my... my sister... they must be so worried....

[Her hands are now clenching each other tightly as she tries to calm herself, but it doesn't seem to be of any use. So, rather quickly, she approaches the Snorunt, taking the gear out of its hands and fumbling once more with it.] A-As I said, any help would be greatly appreciated. But for now, I'm afraid I must end this conversation. I apologize for how abrupt this is. G-Goodbye.

[Can't let them see, can't let them see--]

[Thankfully, she finds the right button to hit, and the screen goes dark.]

I'm okay now, I think...

[She's had some time to process all this, but still...]

... Except I think I'm getting a headache from such a massive flood of information.

[soundmind]

That's okay, just take your time. I know it's a lot to take in at first, but you kinda learn as you go.

Someone probably already contacted you if they know you, if I'm guessing right? That's the usual process for when people arrive here.

[defyingfrigidity]

Yes, it turns out my sister is here, and she was the first one who managed to get in contact with me. I've talked to some of her friends here too, as well.

... I should probably be worried that she's here with me as well, even though our disappearance won't go noticed back in Arendelle. But if anyone can adapt to strange situations, it's her.

[soundmind]

Ah, but having your family with you is a good thing! Sometimes people end up here alone...not that this is a bad or dangerous place, but it's a long time to be without someone you know.

[Maka that sounded too personal.]

But even then, your Pokemon protect you.

[defyingfrigidity]

I bet... Anna sounded so excited when I talked to her.

[And she'll just. Drop it there, because she's not completely awful at being social and doesn't wanna get into something that might be getting pretty personal with a complete stranger.]

They're strange little creatures, aren't they? I've never seen anything quite like them before.

[soundmind]

Uh-huh, but that's the exciting thing about this world, too! You run into new ones every day, and they all have their own characteristics--just like people do.
