first: voice/action

[kickingcatcher]

[When Crys woke up in the middle of the village, she was more than a little concerned as to why she wasn't suddenly at the ruins anymore. To be honest, she was panicking a little.] No... no, this is bad, I can't be... wherever this is. [But for now, her best course of action would be to get out of the snow. She was starting to get pretty cold, especially in a dress. What upset her now aside from the snow was that she couldn't find her bag or own clothes. It worried her to think that her Pokemon might not have come here with her. Yet amid all this, Crys had the very nagging feeling that all of this was familiar. That she had been here before.]

I'd remember coming to a place like this, so why can't I? [A few scant memories were beginning to come back to her, but nothing really concrete enough to really remember Luceti. One memory was at least going to be helpful.] My journal. Where is it? [She looked around for the book, and found it just a few feet from where she originally arrived. It didn't take her much time at all to remember how to use it, or at least reteach herself the voice function quickly. At least now she could get some answers.]

My name's Crystal. I've... been here bfore, haven't I? [There was one other thing she wanted to know.] ... Gold? Silver? Are you guys still here? [Crys went silent after that, but then let out a cry of surprise.] Oh, has anyone seen my Pokemon? An Arcanine, Meganium, Cubone, Hitmonchan, Xatu, and Parasect. If you see any of them, please let me know. [A beat.] Is there anyone else I know that's here? [Now while she waits for replies, she'll go look for the clothing store and get out of that dress.]

Gold, Silver... Crystal. Crystal! Hi! Aren't you one of Ikki's friends?

[kickingcatcher]

... Ikki? [The name sounds familiar, but she can't give a face to the name.] Um... maybe. She does sound familiar, but I can't quite remember who she is.

[savedtheworld]

Then you should remember her more, it shouldn't be hard! She's a little airbender, and she asks lots of questions! She's got buns in her hair, and she's my granddaughter!

[kickingcatcher]

--oh! And she likes to play pretend! The really energetic young girl, right?

[savedtheworld]

Yeah, she does! See, you do remember! [Ikki's going to be so happy. Aang beams.] You went back home?

[kickingcatcher]

That's right. It's been three years for me. I guess being gone for that long will make your memory a little fuzzy.

[savedtheworld]

Three years?! That's such a long time! To think when I went home, it was only a few days...

[kickingcatcher]

I vaguely remember something about Luceti really messing with time, so I guess that's one of the reasons.

[savedtheworld]

Yeah, that's true. It never seems to make sense. But I'm glad I get to meet you this time!

[kickingcatcher]

I am, too! Silver and Gold always seem to make really good friends here. I'm glad to meet someone from Ikki's family, too.

[savedtheworld]

Thanks - I guess they do! [When Silver isn't being so weird about things.] Everyone else who's her family is definitely worth meeting, too! And it's great to meet one of her friends. You're looking for your Pokemons?

[kickingcatcher]

[Don't you mean Gold.] Oh, she has more family here? Who?

Yes! They should stand out here, so it'll be easy to spot them.

[savedtheworld]

[Both, kind of, in different ways. Silver just particularly took to friendship... oddly.]

Y-yeah, she does! All the people from my world, in our house... we're all kind of her family. But... Katara, Sokka and me? We're kind of her family even more. [He hesitates a bit before continuing. It does feel weird to tell people he'll be starting a family with Katara one day with the way things were so different here, but he knew that anyone who knew Ikki would find out from her sooner or later. And he remembered when Katara told him, after Ikki first showed up, that she shouldn't be ashamed of who she is.] Because Katara and me, we're gonna be the grandparents.

That's... that sounds great! I'll have Ikki look them up and keep my eyes open!

[kickingcatcher]

[Silver tends to take friendships oddly. It's canon.

But whoa, that is a shocker.] Ah... so she's from... your future, then? That must be a little odd. But nice, at the same time, I assume, too.

[savedtheworld]

Y-yeah. She's from really far in our future. Knowing Ikki has been a whole lot of things, but... one of them is definitely nice. I love getting to know her and play with her. And I'm glad she has lots of friends here, too.

[kickingcatcher]

She's a wonderful girl. You must have a great family to raise her like that. I know playing with her is tons of fun.

[savedtheworld]

Thanks. And that's great to hear. You better get ready, then, cuz I bet she'll be trying to play with you the moment she sees you're around again!

[kickingcatcher]

Trust me, I'm probably looking forward to it as much as she is.

[savedtheworld]

Great! Then everything'll work out nicely.

[kickingcatcher]

Sure seems like it!
