[The video feed switches on to provide a blurred close up on someone's face. The user moves back slowly, allowing the image to come into focus as it shows a blond teenager sat on the ground, eying the device suspiciously.]

Hey- This thing even on? [A tap on the screen, the teen sighs, exasperated, before looking over to the Poliwag sat beside him.]

You know how to make this work?

[Silence.]

....Didn't think so. Maybe we just...

[Grumbling again as he shuffles in his spot, Naruto holds out the Pokegear a little further as he puts on one of his biggest, brightest smiles.]

Uzumaki Naruto, reporting for duty! Hehe. So, I really need to get home, everyone is counting on me, but the weird lady who thinks she's my Mom said I can't, so since I'm here I'm going to get all the badges and have everyone acknowledge me as the greatest Pokemon trainer there is, you'd better believe it!

[He hops up to his feet, facing the Poliwag once again.] C'mon Gama-chan! Training starts now!

[His speech is interrupted by the loud growling of an empty stomach.] Er... after we eat, that is. Does this place have ramen?

Well, I'm human, currently. Anyone who isn't human to start with becomes one when they get here. Everyone also loses any special abilities they had! So if you had any, you probably don't any longer.

[ Just in case you didn't check that. ]

What were you then if you weren't human?!

[timelymaid]

A troll!

[believeit]

A... troll? Never heard of them.

[timelymaid]

We're from another planet, so that's not out of the ordinary! But it's not too important here, since we're human now.

Although I suppose it's important as an explanation as to why we occasionally collectively need explanations to human culture, ahaha. ...Although not all of us seem to care.

So what sort of stuff do aliens eat? Or do? I bet it's really weird!

[timelymaid]

Well, some of it is definitely different, but a lot of the foods seem the same? Except with...different names. [ For the meat-beasts, anyway. ]

Humans even have cotton candy! I never really had any before coming here.

[believeit]

Well of course we have cotton candy.

So hey! What did you look like before? Y'know before coming here? Did you have four eyes? Were you eight feet tall??

[timelymaid]

Well, my skin was more gray? And I had horns! Things like that. I only had two eyes, and I certainly wasn't eight feet tall!

[He's silent for a moment, obviously trying to imagine it.]

[timelymaid]

Ah, well, maybe you'll see someday! It happened before, anyway.

video;

[believeit]

What's happened before?

video;

[timelymaid]

People regained their powers are forms!

...At least, I'm pretty sure. The memories from that time are really spotty, but I think it happened?

video;

[believeit]

..Oh. Does that happen a lot here?

video;

[timelymaid]

Hm...that's the first time people knew of, I think?

[believeit]

Maybe it was a mistake and it won't happen again then..

[timelymaid]

Well, there's always hope! ...Although I'm not sure which I would prefer to happen.
