[Route 29] Video/Action - Ecruteak City

[dreamsofahero]

While I realize that the mystery of the so-called 'bloobers' is probably foremost in peoples' minds at the moment, but I thought it might be interesting to consider something else for a while. Namely, just what sort of worlds does everyone come from? Do they have technology and devices similar to this one, or something different altogether? What about things such as magic? Are there many countries, or just a few? And so on.

Share as much or as little as you'd like; I for one would be curious to hear it.

I see... That sounds like it would be a difficult place to live in indeed.

*though he... really doesn't sound particularly shocked or surprised by that*

Ah, you don't have to go to the bother if you don't want to, though thank you.

Compared to life here, yeah. ...Chocolate was kind of hard to get your hands on and so were certain kinds of tea, but I was never a big tea drinker.

I-It's not a bother, just give me a minute to try and remember some of the districts. It'll make explaining things a little easier.

[dreamsofahero]

That's what makes me wonder, actually. I imagine some things might be harder if you were familiar with something similar, but still different, after all; you'd have to stop thinking about the way you're used to, wouldn't you?

Re: video;

[dreamsofahero]

Not to mention that here, you needn't worried about being attacked by some kind of man-eating monster, I suppose.

Well, if you'd like to, then.

*he's admittedly a bit curious!*

[heartdive]

We have magic where I come from, for starters.

Re: [video]

[dreamsofahero]

Is there only one person in each category at this school, then?

[dreamsofahero]

Anything else?

[heartdive]

It's made up of multiple worlds. Each one is completely different.

[pipers_son]

Yeah, but it wouldn't be much of a long stop, would it? Better than havin' ta call out yer clever types so they can take the 'Gear away before ya blow somethin' up.

[Which is possibly a concern. That's why the Mime Jr. and the Zoroark are the only ones allowed to touch the 'Gear. Good Pokemon, best tech support.]

[konpeitoqueen]

Obviously! Unless, of course, they somehow find someone better than the previous- that would be pretty pathetic, though. To be revered as the best and realize you actually weren't?

[Teehee, it would be fun to watch the breakdown.] Of course, the wearing sands of time break down even the best... there is SHSL Good Luck, though! One for every year. But it's a stupid, gimmicky and cheap title.

[dreamsofahero]

I suppose in the end it depends on the person, really.

*like him for example; he caught on to the basics quickly, but never did get around to mastering typing...*

Just the really big pokemon if they got hungry enough, I guess.

<sub>[But he hasn't seen any that big yet!

After a few minutes, he lifts up a sheet of paper to show off a half finished map.]</sub>

T-This is what it basically looks like. I might've got some of the places mixed up but I didn't grow up in the districts like Shinganshina since I came from a village on the southeastern side of Maria.

[pipers_son]

Yeah, that's something ta consider...

What 'bout yerself, actually?

[dreamsofahero]

Oh? How so?

[dreamsofahero]

Oh? I don't think I've heard of anything quite like that before...

Re: video;

[dreamsofahero]

I see... so in addition to being tall, I take it the walls are quite long, as well?

*he can't imagine there being a viable population sustained inside unless the walls were truly enormous feats of engineering*

[dreamsofahero]

The world I'm from, or how I feel about the technology here?

[pipers_son]

Yer world. Ain't exactly used ta the concept.

[konpeitoqueen]

Isn't the title obvious enough? They get enrolled into the school through a lottery! While the rest of us have to work day and night our whole lives to earn ours!

Re: video;

[bertall]

Mm, yeah. Maria's... really big. From the outer wall to the castle in the center it's a good three hundred miles I think.

[dreamsofahero]

Well, there isn't technology like what can be found here, but there is magic, even if it's most often used for military purposes. The kingdom I'm from is in the south of the continent, so the climate there is a warm dry season and a cold rainy season, without the sort of extremes found in this place.

Re: video;

[dreamsofahero]

*nods*

That's quite impressive, really. Do you know how it was built?

[dreamsofahero]

Ah, I see. So the "skill" they are best in would be "luck"...

[pipers_son]

Y'know, folks 'round here occasionally mention magic and the like but we never had it where I'm from! Just some sleight a hand and trick a the eye stuff. I'm kinda jealous, heh!

[dreamsofahero]

Nothing like it at all? I wonder if there's any reason why it's so different from world to world...
