hipstermark]For a full minute, there is no sound. Only footage and music from New Bark Town, the sky... and a Vanillite popping in and out of the view. Eventually, though, the mysterious recorder speaks up... letting out a small sigh.]
It's really silly, Scoops - I feel like I went in a deep sleep, but it's like... well, it's clear time has passed! I wasn't back here before... and the clocks have gone forward! Isn't that surprising?
[There's a slight pause, as the camera moves - as Vanille comes into view, holding her camera like she's taking a selfie.]
But it's sort of nice. Right, everybody? Well, everybody who's still here and haven't gone back to their homes!
[This is her home, though. She wants to stay here, and she was sleeping. Or did she go home? She doesn't remember anything else... and her mark hasn't progressed, she already checked. Giving a slight pause, Vanille then beams.]
I didn't even know that Pokemon could lose levels, but here Scoop has! None of my other Pokemon are around - they've probably gone to a nice home. I hope so, anyway!
[She's walking, keeping her camera in selfie mode.]
But that means I'll need to find new Pokemon - I wonder if I should raise another Yamask! They're very tragic, you know! Oh! And I should introduce myself - if time's really passed, who knows who's come and gone, hm?
[She nearly forgot! A deep breath, interupted with a slight giggle, and:]
My name is Vanille, and I'm a breeder! And I'm off to the next Route - let's see if I can find some good partners! I wonder what sort of Pokemon I'll get this time...
[And that's when the video ends - Vanille giving a grin to everybody, and a small wave, as her Vanillite gives a very deadpan look.]

10/11/15 23:27 (UTC)You've been here before?
[Video]
11/11/15 19:26 (UTC)[Thank goodness, she is terrible at doing info dumps.]
My sisters are breeders, too! And my friend runs the Breeding Center now, so you'll be covered in the eggs department no matter what.
[video]
11/11/15 19:51 (UTC)[Phantump as in the tiny ghost wearing what looks like a tree stump with a red ribbon tied on it peeking up out of the corner of the video.]
I'm surprised, more people say that they're creepy than "tragic."
no subject
12/11/15 10:03 (UTC)And it's name is Scoops!
How cute is that?]
You might have the most name-appropriate pokemon ever. That's pretty cool.
no subject
15/11/15 03:15 (UTC)[ ... ]
Though, as Scoops evolves, her name changes from mine. I guess she's not really like me that much, actually! She's very serious.
[video]
15/11/15 03:17 (UTC)Wouldn't it be tragic to die - probably trying to fulfill your lives' goal - and wake up as a monster that nobody can understand? I think it'd be. And then you'd be stuck listening to others' commands, unable to rest - unable to stop being a monster.
[ ...and she's back to cheerful. ]
...What's a Phantump? Another new Pokemon?
[Video]
15/11/15 03:20 (UTC)I know, right? Imagine if I'd forgotten everything - I'd need to learn all about how to use this phone again, and people being from the past or future, and all of that! But I've got Lightning - I'm sure she'd fill me in.
Again. Sort-of. The old Lightning filled me in last time! After rushing to get me to her.
[ A bit of a wistful sigh, before - ]
Oh! The breeding center is still running? That's good - I should see what Pokemon I can afford after catching the boat to Pallet Town! And it's nice that you have family here!
[Audio] to match
15/11/15 03:22 (UTC)[ She gives a grunt as she nods. ]
I'm sure the world has changed without me!
[video]
15/11/15 03:23 (UTC)That's a pity. Somebody nice like you - did something happen?
video
15/11/15 03:24 (UTC)I've heard of most of those - but what's a Noibat? Or a Fennekin? Did they come with the Espurr?
[Video]
15/11/15 03:26 (UTC)[ pause ]
Are you an idol yourself?!
[Video]
15/11/15 03:27 (UTC)(Video)
15/11/15 03:33 (UTC)Oh who is she kidding. Vanille can sound right at home anywhere.)
Been here before?
[video]
15/11/15 03:33 (UTC)But this topic... it always makes pretending difficult. And she'd promised so many people she'd be more honest, more open...]
Something... did happen, yes. But it was my fault, not hers.
(Video)
15/11/15 03:37 (UTC)[ Vanille lets out an excited squeak - she really is here! She can barely hold herself back - if she could, she'd jump right though this screen. ]
Mhm! I was here a few years back, but - I think I fell asleep again. [ She thinks she was crystal again. ] It'd explain why I didn't go back.
[video]
15/11/15 03:37 (UTC)[ vanille NO ]
(Video)
15/11/15 03:40 (UTC)Well we've fallen asleep a couple of times, haven't we? But it's not like we don't dream.
(This is the part that matters:)
Where are you?
[video]
15/11/15 03:42 (UTC)[Look everyone else may be telling her it's not her fault, and Elsa might believe them on some level most of the time, but it really can't be denied that she hurt Lightning.]
(Video)
15/11/15 03:46 (UTC)[ smol gasp time - so she can even catch her breath a little. ]
Well, I'll tell you when we're in-person. So I don't need to repeat myself, and all that...
[ And she's terrified of telling her. That too. ]
[video]
15/11/15 03:47 (UTC)What happened, exactly?
[Audio]
15/11/15 03:48 (UTC)I couldn't tell you how long it's been here, since it's only been something over a year for me. As with all places, though, I wouldn't be surprised if it changed quite a bit in your absence.

15/11/15 04:07 (UTC)[Give or take about... 500 years or so?]
[video]
15/11/15 04:09 (UTC)[She... doesn't really want to go into the details. Sorry, Vanille.]
