Akari Oozora // Aikatsu!

[creatinglight]

[Okay, so Akari had woken up in a strange bed, and her Aikatsu Phone Look had been replaced by what she's figured out is a Pokegear. She'd woken up to a cute thing looking worried.

All that, she can handle, but the fact that she cannot get in touch with anyone at Starlight Academy? That is a problem.

She's going to be walking around looking for a phone, or at least a computer. Someone want to break it to her that she's stuck?]

[in4apounding]

[So why is Penny back in New Bark Town after so long? Because shut up is why.]

[Regardless, Akari was showing almost all the signs of "I'm New, Please Help."]

Salutations, miss!

[Trotting over with a cheerful wave, her Galvantula scuttling close behind her.]

You're new, right? Are you okay?

[creatinglight]

Hello!

[Akari starts to wave back, but stops after a second.]

I'm fine, but - and please don't panic - there's a big spider behind you!

If the Petilil isn't supposed to be out, I can edit

[in4apounding]

A big-? Oh!

[Glancing back at said oversized spider, entirely unperturbed.]

That's just Amber. She was my starter! Like your little flowery friend there. Say hello, Amber!

[Amber crawls up beside Penny's feet, looking up at Akari and waving her front legs and chittering a bit. Could be "hello," could be "you wanna go?"]

nope, she's out!

[creatinglight]

[Well, if she's not worried, then Akari will try not to be.]

Oh! Well, hello, Amber. I'm Akari, and this is --

[...name, name...]

-- Midori, say hello, okay?

[The little Petilil spins around.]

I'm sorry I made a big deal out of nothing.

[in4apounding]

No, it's okay! Arriving here can be VERY confusing, you're actually handling it very well!

[At least for now. They haven't gotten to the "no way to get home" thing yet.]

So, welcome to Johto! Has anyone explained- anything, yet?

[creatinglight]

I'm used to traveling, so waking up somewhere I'm not used to isn't too bad. You see, I'm an idol, and with my friends Sumire and Hinaki, we had a tour not too long ago.

The lady who said she was my mom was kind of weird, though.

-- explained?

[in4apounding]

[That's probably a "no, not at all," then. Okay, exposition.exe activating.]

Well if you're used to traveling, that's good because there's a lot of that here! People from all kinds of different worlds wake up in that house with that poor confused woman who calls herself your mother, no one really knows how or why.

But we're all given a Pokémon partner like Amber or Midori as a partner and kind of a bodyguard? Pokémon are at the center of more or less everything here, and even if they don't look like it they can be VERY powerful. A lot of people catch and battle them, or breed them, but a lot of people just live their regular lives, only with Pokémon!

...But the bad news is, no one knows where this actually is, or how to get home. Sorry.

[creatinglight]

It was a lot of fun, seeing all the different places and getting to meet so many people! If things are like that here, then I think I'll be okay.

[She nods, bending down and picking up Midori.]

Wow. I think I get that, though. Someone important to me said that we all have a little light inside, even if we might not look like it.

[...and then it hits.]

- can we at least call? I need to tell Mama not to worry, and the girls at Starlight are probably starting to wonder where I am...

[in4apounding]

That's a fantastic way of putting it!

[And then the badness starts. At least she's not actually panicking yet? Please do not cry.]

There's no way to contact your home, I'm so sorry. But while you're here, time stops back home! It's confusing, but if you leave you'll end up right back where and when you were. No one will even know you were gone!

[creatinglight]

I've learned a lot from Hoshimiya-senpai.

[No tears from her! Just a nod.]

Well, that just means I'll have to do my best here, too. I don't quite get how time works like that, but it'll be okay, I'm sure of that.
