[The feed starts with a woman sitting on a bench with a little Gothita beside her. The woman looks like she was plucked out of a history book, with her spine ramrod-straight, her skin the color of porcelain, her waist so narrow that she must be wearing a corset, and her giant green floor-length dress using way too much fabric to be practical. Seriously, she could probably clothe a small country with all the cloth in that dress. Rocket uniform? What Rocket uniform?]

Good morning. [The woman carefully folds her hands in her lap, ignoring the Gothita beside her making a kissy face at the camera.] I am told that this object is ‘broadcasting’ what it sees to whosoever owns another one of its kind, so I decided that I should introduce myself.

[She inclines her head slightly, flashing a beautiful smile.] I am Miss Justine Florbelle. Don’t concern yourself with explaining the current situation to me—people already have, yet I find myself quite displaced. Not by the animals—they, I have accepted. No, what I am curious about is the current date, because I have received conflicting answers. [Yep. Kissy-faced bunny goth things, totally believable. Time skip, no.]

Does anyone care to assist a poor lady in distress?

Time zones? Ah, that makes sense. Yes, it will take me longer to adjust to this than it would to 'jet lag'.

You are from 2009, then? Are most people here from past 2000?

Yeah that's when I'm from. A lot of people are probably from 2000 or so.

Would I be correct to assume that there is not a particularly tangible difference between 2000 and 2012?

Yeah, you would be right. It's just a change of politics. But this place is different. Their whole society evolved around working in harmony with Pokemon. It's kinda crazy when you think about it.

So... it is a society that revolves around animals? I have heard of such places before, but they have always been described to me as... primitive at best.

Hey, just because a society revolves around one specific thing, doesn't make it primitive. Well, it can be but, over time they refine their techniques and learn more about what they're basing their way off life on. Wouldn't call it a miracle, it's just how we are. You know?

Are you from this place, then? [Yes, she assumes that the only reason you would defend the culture is if you're a part of it. Cut her some slack, she's fresh from the 1800's.]

Nope. I'm from a place where tech got advanced as the years went and that's what society circles around. I can still appreciate how peaceful this place is.

Does all your literature, conversation, and thoughts somehow revolve around technology? [Because seriously. Besides other people from outside this world, it looks like everything revolves around Pokemon.]

If you say so. It simply unsettles me. [What she would like to say is "Where you see peace, I see stagnation." But that would mean challenging him on an intellectual plane, which she doesn't want to do in a public forum. She'd rather not be labeled a hysteric and then have men come to house intending to drag her off to be lobotomized. She narrowly escaped that already.]

Nah, it's more varied. That's the part that's unsettling about this place. Yeah it's peaceful, but it's idealistic, not realistic.

In a real society, it would all fall apart. The economy, the politics, all of it. It's too much like a kid's dream. [He sounds like a kid himself. Except, he's dealt with and seen too much to be innocent. Teenager or no, you see a lot of death and fight for your life...it changes you a little.]

Basically, I agree.
