[ it's pretty clear that whoever's putting out this video has little to no idea of what they're doing - not only is it being shot upside down, but it's framed pretty badly, with only one red eye and a few locks of blue hair visible against the familiar backdrop of New Bark Town.

Though it's hard to make out her expression, her one visible eye is a little narrowed and when she starts talking, her voice is understandably nervous. ]

Uh... H--hey... Is this some kinda messed up prank? Mitsuru-san, Akihiko-san, Aigis - or whoever's watchin' this - w--well, it ain't funny, yeah?! I dunno where I am! I ain't never heard of New Bark Town an' I never heard a' no Pokémon either!

And-- an' all this--!

[ she jerks the camera down to point it at her body, revealing the slight build of a high school girl, still dressed in her summer uniform. ]

I don't even wanna know how you did it but-- but just quit it, alright?! [ her voice wavers a little and she sounds almost like she's close to tears. ] Just stop it! It ain't funny at all!

[ there's a little bleat from off camera and then an exceptionally fluffy Mareep wanders into the shot at the girl's feet. She sniffs a little and when she speaks up again, her voice is a little calmer and gentler. ]

Oh -- s'you again. What are you, anyway? Some kinda--?

[ and that's when either her finger slips or something and the video abruptly cuts off. ]

Woah, kid, settle down. Ain't any point in panicking, so just sit down before you fall over and try to relax.

[There's a young man on the screen, looking calm in response to her panic.]

Hey, try to calm down and take a deep breath. I can try explaining things once you do.

[Oh gosh, this poor girl...well, she's been in the same boat before, just as most people here seem to have had. And she wants to, at the very least, be of some sort of help!]

Don't worry, it's alright. You aren't alone, I promise. There are a ton of people here who just sort of wound up here without really knowing what's going on, but...everything'll be okay, really. I'll answer pretty much anything you want to know!

...Oh, by the way, your Mareep is adorable!

[armoredsoul]

Miss, please calm down! Your friends didn't do this, I can promise you. And you're not the only one that's been taken from their home, either. There's a lot of us here.

[Uh oh, fresh meat. Kairi remembers how scared she was when she first arrived.]

Hey, it's alright! You're not in danger. Really.

[Oh, great. More people showing up here, out of the blue. At least Veronica knew what she was doing this time. To a degree.]

I wish it was a prank. [A huffed sigh.] But, I don't think pranks are supposed to last this long.

It looks like a sheep.

[ damn levi you're a regular fuckin sherlock at this shit ]

The one I started with looks like a cat—and acts like a cat. That one will probably act like a sheep.

[ cool now that that's out of the way he's got a more pressing question ]

How they did what, exactly?

[codeforhope]

This isn't a prank.

[Says the soft voice on the other side of the Gear, hoping that maybe a gentle tone and some calm words will help ease her anxiety.]

But where you are is safe, don't worry. As...a lot of people have already told you, you aren't the only one who has shown up here suddenly like this.

[Most if not everyone arrives in a rather confused, sometimes alarmed state, his own self notwithstanding. How well they end up taking it in the long term remains to be seen.]

If you have any more questions, I can try to help answer them for you.
