[earthshattering]

[ While trying to post to the network, Terra was not only confused by how to do that, but the weird little creature that was attaching itself to him. He wasn’t particularly used to things like this, given his reactions to 626 in his own world… Though at least being somewhere different wasn’t too daunting. Frowning, though, he looked a little disgruntled as the thing was making noises at him. He was just heading out of Destiny Islands so he wasn't sure how he ended up here... ]

So...This. Whatever it is. It keeps trying to crawl up my leg. What...do I do with it? We didn’t have things like this at home. [ a pause as he thinks ]

It doesn’t look like a dog, or anything I’m used to at all. I suppose it’s not an unversed because it doesn’t seem to be attacking me.

[ Another pause and a puzzled look as Terra reaches out to it slowly to pet it. It’s not shown much, but he kind of smiles. ] I suppose it’s not so bad. [ Suddenly he realizes something, and frowns again ]

…What do even I feed it? Also, is there anyone in this world that can tell me where to get around? Or possibly out? I'm in a little bit of a hurry.

[That voice, he knows that voice! But is it really...]

[He fumbles for his gear and stares the screen down for several moments in silence]

3/idkmybffterra

[ex_aeroga402]

[Yep, that looks like his big bro]

[ex_aeroga402]

[Oh yes, definitely his big bro]

[It takes him way too long to say something, it's been forever since he saw his big bro. And he feels like maybe there's a right thing to say on an occasion like this, but...]

Terra!

[earthshattering]

[ Wait, that blond hair and that voice are unmistakable. He lets the smile show more on his lips now as he acknowledges the other, Turtwig doing a very good, determined show to get up Terra's leg ]

Ven! I'm glad to see a familiar face.

[ex_aeroga402]

[He's two years and some change older than when last Terra saw him, but the excitement upon seeing his big bro won't ever change. If he was a puppy he'd wag them all into another dimension]

I'm glad to see you too. Have you been here long?

[earthshattering]

[ Terra picks up the Turtwig so it'll settle down, sighing ]

Not long enough to really understand how I ended up with a pet, that much I can say.

[ex_aeroga402]

It's...kind of how this world works. We all get one when we arrive here - our spells and commands don't work.

[earthshattering]

[ A nod ]

Well, I suppose it could be worse. There doesn't seem to be any versed around.

[ Wait. There is a moment when Terra puts the pokemon back down and attempts something. With a small, unhappy noise, he comes back to Ven ]

How are we...? [ He leaves it unsaid, mostly because his train of thought distracted him from completely finishing ]

[ex_aeroga402]

[Ven tips his head to one side curiously]

How're we what?

[earthshattering]

[ Oops, too much thinky ]

If something happens, how are we supposed to figh--[ Then he gets it ]

Don't tell me, that's what these guys are.

[ex_aeroga402]

[Ven nods. Big bro's so smart]

Yeah, pretty much. They're surprisingly strong, and the only beings that can use anything resembling magic.

[earthshattering]

Well, right now this one seems to be making itself at home on my foot. [ and so it is, because it likes him! ]

Though, Ven, where exactly am I? I think someone mentioned a town...

[ex_aeroga402]

Just means it likes you. Should've seen mine, used to try to hide in my clothes.

[What animal wouldn't adore big bro?]

You're in New Bark Town, it's where people show up when they're first brought to this world.

[earthshattering]

And...where are you?

[ Because he will find you and stick by you this time...He makes no comment about the pokemon, primarily because he's kneeled down to pet it again and he will not say it's kind of cute outloud. THAT'S UNMANLY.]

[ex_aeroga402]

I'm in Goldenrod, but I'll come and get you. I just need to let Light, Hope, and Nero know I'm heading out.

[In fact he's already packing his bag...]

[earthshattering]

[ He can't say he's not a little concerned for his baby bro going out...But he knows Ven can handle himself ]

How about I meet you halfway? I suppose it couldn't hurt to get used to traveling around here.

[ex_aeroga402]

The next town over from there is Cherrygrove, to the west. I can meet you there.

[earthshattering]

Sounds like a plan.

[ A pause ]

Along the way, if something happens, what exactly do I do?

[ex_aeroga402]

Give your Turtwig commands. It should know how to tackle, to start with.

[earthshattering]

[ Ah. Okay, Terra can do that. ]

Alright. Seems simple enough. Thanks, Ven.

[ A small laugh as he realizes the roles have certainly reversed...]

I suppose you'll be the one teaching me how things go this time.

[ex_aeroga402]

I'll do my very best!

[He's certainly excited to repay Terra for all of his teachings]

[earthshattering]

I know you will. I trust you.

[ This is where an affection hair ruffle would go ]

[ex_aeroga402]

Thanks, Terra. I won't let you down.

[It feels like a verbal headpat as is]
