(1) Video / Action for New Bark Town

[veggie_vamp]

 [There's a gal with pinkish skin and definitely pink hair, and she's posing with a v-finger hand gesture and a pouted lips. Waits. Waits. Waits...]

Come on! How long does it take for this to take a selfie? I'm already having trouble finding a good Eye-Fi connection...

[ She seems to have a Romanian accent and fangs. The Noibat on her shoulder points with his wing to the red recording button.]

Oh, wait, am I recording? ... Well, I guess a deadblog is as good as anything else! Maybe Spectra can find it and show everyone... I haven't done a real blog recording in forever! Let's see, what's a good way to start...

Okay, hello viewers! This is Draculaura, reporting live from... wherever this is! You will not believing the morning I just had.

So this weird lady is waking me up, and she says she's my mom, except she's obviously not my mom, and then she goes blah blah see the professor, and I was like, Oh My Ghoul, and I late for Home Eek again? Except the professor looked nothing like Mister Rotter, and he goes blah blah blah journey and stuff, but he gave me a cute pet! How nice is that! Say hi, Mister Fancy Pants!

[... The Noibat does't seem pleased at the moniker.]

But then I couldn't find my Icoffin, but I got this cool-looking thing instead, but it doesn't have any fun apps or any of my contacts! Talk about your up and downs!

I guess I should wrap this up, so my dad can come find me or whatever. So thanks for listening! Oh, oh, and a shout-out to all my ghoulfriends! And Clawd! I might be late for our date, totes sorry! Love you!

Whoah dollface, that's a whole lotta talk but I didn't understand half of it!

[Jimmy gets it, though. It wasn't that long ago he was new here, too.]

So you're in New Bark Town. You're on a different planet, the Pokemon Planet, I guess. That's the little pet you got, that guy's gonna be your best friend.

I'm Jimmy Darling, I've been here...geeze, I dunno. More'n half a year now. You got questions, I just might have answers!

[veggie_vamp]

[Sorry, she's kind of... ignoring most of that information due to-]

My first follower! I can't believe it happened so fast! Does this mean I'm internet famous now?

[anexcitableboy]

What's an internet?

[Being from the early 1950s, Jimmy's got a lot of gaps in knowledge.]

This thing here's a network of Pokegears that are all connected. Everybody that can see and hear you on here is in the same boat as you - woke up in that crazy little house with that crazy mom-lady. We can all stay in contact with each other, either like this just broadcasting to everybody, or private like a telephone.

Home Eek...Ah, you sound like you're from a pretty interesting place. I like all the puns...it's a little like playing a new game, with a new lingo...

[ As is sometimes usual, Nanami isn't making a whole lot of sense. Her smile is friendly, at least. ]

[veggie_vamp]

A second follower already! Am I trending? I hope they're using a cute hashtag about me!

[lullabytes]

Oh, everyone with a pokegear can see this. Not everyone might reply, though...not everyone replies to everything, which is normal for anything...I'm Chiaki Nanami, by the way.

[ She just likes saying hello to newcomers on occasion, in her confused and occasionally sleepy manner. ]

As to hashtags, gears don't really have that functionality. There are lots of cool games you can download, though...

[kingofthetvworld]

[The person on the other end of the feed is...a bat! A bat who is super thrilled to see another bat! Yes, he sees you, Mister Fancy Pants! Look at how fancy your pants are, he can't help but squeak with joy.

Squeak so loud that it catches his trainer's attention who just so happens to call from off screen.]

Will you stop takin' my phone already, yeesh!

[Nope, too bad, the little woobat is much too excited to listen to him right now. So right now just enjoy a very happy fuzzball.]

[Video]

[veggie_vamp]

[Noibat doesn't seem very interested at all, rolling his eyes. Draculaura, on the other hand, gives out a high-pitched squee.]

Oh my ghoul! Aren't you the cutest little batty-watty I've ever seen! ... Right after you, Mister Fancy Pants.

[Noibat chirps. STOP CALLING ME THAT. AT LEAST QUIT ADDING THE MISTER.]

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

[The woobat doesn't seem bothered, in fact he still acts as though he just made his new best friend for life times eleven. HELLO OTHER BAT, DO YOU SEE HIM YET? HI YES LET'S BE BATS TOGETHER-

Before he can continue to be happiness incarnate, his antics are cut off by his trainer's voice yet again.]

W-Wait, are you talking to a girl?!

[Cue the 'gear being taken away. Teddie knew woobats were successful when it came to, well, wooing, but gosh he didn't know they were that good.]

Y-YES, HE'S SUPER CUTE, ISN'T HE?! [Shouting is cool.] I-I'M SUPER CUTE, TOO, YA KNOW!

[What? Jealous of his own bat? Of course not, don't be silly.]

[video]

[samsa]

[Well this is...one interesting post to the Network, to be sure.]

I'm afraid you aren't anywhere near wherever your home is right now. You're in a place called Johto. Well...that's the region, anyway. The town would be New Bark, but-

[Before Kaneki can say much else, something from offscreen jostles his way into view. That something happens to be a colossal Gliscor draping his wings over one of his trainer's shoulders so he can get a better look at the screen. Or more importantly, the little bat that this girl has in her company. Naturally this puts the boy off balance, causing him to nearly fumble his Gear out of his hands.]

L-louis-! You're going to knock me over, cut it out!

[So much for actually giving information.]

[video]

[veggie_vamp]

[And she's instantly distracted because BAT. Noibat is disinterested in all the attention, but the girl is squeeing like there's no tomorrow.]

What a cute big bat! That is one of the coolest ones I've ever seen! Look at those wings, look at that face! He's gorgeous!

[video]

[samsa]

[Louis soaks up the attention like a sponge, offering Draculaura a wide, toothy grin while Kaneki continues in vain to try and shove him off.]

T-thank you. He...he certainly likes the attention.

[A bit too much, really.]

Uh...I'm sure that other people have already told you everything they can, so...if you do have any other questions, I can try to answer them.

[He's no expert, but he remembers how confused he was when he first got here.]

[embezzling]

[ Another newbie is already halfway to Cherrygrove and ain't turnin' around for nobody. He has taken a momentary stop to check the PokeGear Whatzit. A Meowth's paw keeps swatting its way into the screen. ]

It's like you're trying to make real words. I know it...

[veggie_vamp]

[yay, more followers! Maybe she could beat Cleo in a popularity contest.]

You're probably hearing my accent! A little Romanian, a little Transylvanian, the best of both worlds!

[embezzling]

[ wtf is wrong with kids now ]

I was going more for the barrage of monster puns but sure, kid. Is it Halloween for you all year round where you're from?

[scratchitti]

Mr.... Fancy Pants.

[veggie_vamp]

Isn't he just the cutest!

[video]

[soundmind]

...[Maka's...more taken aback by all the puns than she expected to be. Draculaura? Is this girl suggesting that she has any relation to the infamous count? Well, she (kind of) looks and sounds the part, but she also seems way too modern at the same time. Vampires gave Maka the image of stuffy blah blah bluh nonsense.]

Um, so, I'm guessing at this point you know you're not in your own world and Pokemon are supposed to be your companions. Is there anything else you'd like to know?

[video]

[veggie_vamp]

[I DON'T SAY BLAH BLAH BLUH]

You know, amazingly no one has said where I can find any good malls! Wouldn't that be the first thing you should tell a new ghoul?

[capitald]

[Give him a second while he tries to process this information...

Key word: Tries.

See, Ringabel is from a fantasyesque world, so all this social network talk flies in one ear and out the other, leaving him staring at the camera with a furrow in his brow and his lips twitching as if unsure of what expression to convey.

It only lasts a few moments before he's back to his typical bright smile and chipper tone, however.]

Pardon me for asking, miss, but what exactly is a selfie? And Eye-Fi for that matter... I'm afraid it's all a bit foreign to me.

[veggie_vamp]

[And that gets some staring in return-]

You poor thing! What kind of last century place were you raised in?

[nvcr]

Oh. You'll have to excuse the woman in that house...she thinks she's everyone's mother, but as far as I know, her children never existed.

Not in this universe, anyway.

It's a little confusing at first.

[veggie_vamp]

Well, like, I totes knew she wasn't mine.

Seeing as she's been dead for a while.

[pipers_son]

Ya should join the circus!

[JOKER. JOKER NO.]

[He seems to get over himself after a moment, still done up in his skeletal makeup and bat themed attire, all done up thanks to Envy, and gives a wide grin.]

Ah, sorry 'bout that, but we're in the middle of a big event, and ya look like ya would fit in perfect! Especially with everythin' goin' on lately, holidays and all that.

[veggie_vamp]

Ooooh, fabulous look you've got going there! Totally fangtastic!

And I was part of a circus performance once, as a matter of fact! We did it to raise money for our school, and it was so much fun!
