eleventh bubble; video/action for ecruteak.

Hey! I'm not sure if everyone watches the EV News - I do, and they have the catchiest little intro jingle, don't you think? [ Pausing to hum that. You're welcome. ]

Anyway! Is anyone planning to go to this prom thing? And has anyone else managed to procquire a silver ticket? I have to say that seeing all those pokeballs drop from the sky was sort of fun! I actually can't take credit for catching my silver ticket, though - Panini caught it. I think he was sort of having a field day with things to catch from the sky, actually. I'll have to keep that in mind for the future.

I've never been to a dance before. So I entirely plan to go! Besides, it sounds like it's happening in a new place, which is exciting. Have any of you been to dances before, though? I wouldn't mind hearing about them if you have!

Great! Are you going with anyone, by the way?

[ No worries, she isn't asking you - she asked someone else! - she is just being exceedingly nosy. ]

I think all the people from my world are coming with me... so that's three guys and a girl accompanying me.

[Three guys too many, if you ask him.]

I don't intend to hang out with them all night though.

Oh? What are their names? I wonder if I've met them!

I think most of the people from my world are going as well, although I doubt we'll all hang out. Maybe in terms of who is going with who, and I'm sure we'll all say hi, but a lot of my friends are pretty social.

[ ...on the human side, anyway... ]

They're Hijrikawa, Shinomiya, Kurusu and Haruka. First three are in the same band as I am and the girl is our dear composer.

[Which kinda explains why he's stuck with them for now.]

Do you have a lot of people you know in this world?

You're in a band together?

[ That sounds like a lot of fun, really. And Aradia laughs at the second question before she can help herself, although it's brief. ]

Yes, actually! The ones from my planet would be, let's see...Sollux, Kanaya, Karkat, Terezi, Eridan, and Equius. Then there's the humans from our universe, Jake, Dirk, John, Rose, Jane, Jade, Dave, Dirk, Mom, Bro...

[ At least, Dirk and Jade were there at the time of this question. ]

Yep. Two of our members are missing, but otherwise most of us are here. Though we only just debuted, so we don't have too much experience.

[It's been fun though.]

Hmm... I don't think I've talked to any one of them. Though it must be nice to have so many around, huh?

Are you debuting here, too?

Ah, I think it's a good thing! At least, they were able to help out a lot at the beginning, and it means I don't need to worry about them at home. But I also have trouble keeping up with what those of us in Kanto are up to as opposed to the people I travel with, you know?

Possibly, if the two remaining ever come over. Though most of the current ones don't even remember the band, so...

[Or they just haven't experienced it yet.]

I can imagine. I hope they at least try to keep in touch and tell you about where they're going so you don't have to worry too much.

Ah, so it's a case of being from different times. I have that issue, too!

Oh, they do. Most of us at least speak to one of the others once every two weeks?

It's a complicated issue, isn't it?

That's good.

It is, although I'm sort of used to it! Back home, I had to deal with a lot of timeline differences, too.

That sounds rather complicated... to have time differences at home as well.

It can be, but I'm pretty good at it! And at least it isn't relevant here. It's sort of relaxing in that way!

Sounds like your world is something that would be too complicated for me to handle. [He says that with a small laugh.]

I'm pretty sure people from my world would say that's true for them, too, so...!

But that may also just be something true of any world not your own, don't you think? Other worlds are strange concepts to people who didn't grow up with it.

That's true. And we're all strangers to this world when we arrived, right?

Almost to a one! Though I've met people and know people who have played a game based on this world, so there is that, I suppose!

Haha. I'm actually one of them, but the beginning still managed to confuse me.

[For reasons. He might one day tell Aradia about his dark Johto past.]

I never really played many video games in the past. I did flarp a lot, though.

... flarp?

Fatal Live Action Role-Playing!

I've heard of those... except without the word fatal.

Yeah, I guess it isn't fatal in other worlds! Who knew, right?

If it would be, it would be illegal in our world... haha.

Yes, so I've heard! Our world had a very different legal system.
