004 ♜ Video | Action for Goldenrod

[parkour]

[Rather than seeing Izaya when the video turns on, the scene seems a bit... different. Perhaps because what you're seeing a video of is the train overpass that runs through Goldenrod's main route. It remains focused there - occasionally a leaf or some Pidgey will work their way into the shot, but it's very steady.]

[Those who pay attention, or those who know him, will recognize Izaya's voice when he begins to speak.]

Johto never really has been known for being progressive, hm? When I arrived in Goldenrod City nearly a year ago, these tracks were barren. The station was empty. And still, to this day, it's not operational. It's been just about a year and a half since many started to arrive here -- yet, there's not solid way to get to Kanto, either.

Perhaps the programmers are still working out the glitches! I guess having someone perpetually stuck in Glitch City, Kanto wouldn't be to ideal for them! [He laughs, clearly entertained with his own meta. He stops abruptly, continuing his rambling thought. Or is it really rambling?] There's so many options, or at least, there should be. There's a port city in both regions - or did they forget to program the bodies of water to connect?

Maybe even other regions entirely! After all, there should be other equivalents, right? Kanto mirrors Kanto, Johto mirrors Kansai. I wonder what will be next. Kyushu? Hokkaido! Chubu! Chugoku! The options could even be limitless if they expand their horizons.

Curious.

This world is always so very curious.

Of course, that's what makes it so endearing. I love it! I love the people in it! I can't wait to see what happens next!

[Some more laughter, and once he's exhausted that, he shifts the camera focus to his face, smiling wide.]

Maybe someone would like to sneak on the tracks, rebellious. Walk them -- see how far it takes you! After all, you shouldn't have to have the worry of being hit by the moving train.

[And with that, he switches the feed to a private call to usedpatience]

Saki-chan, I'd like to speak with you when you have moment. I have something of a proposal for you.


[Those who are in Goldenrod are free to run into him, be it there or at the department store, where he'll be getting supplies for an impromptu trip to Violet City.]

[It took an hour for her to notice, but she's giving you a call now.]

You wanted to talk, Izaya-san?

video; private

[parkour]

That's right. I figure you've had enough time to settle that we can properly talk now.

Maybe they ran out of money. Now do you have my...

[Wait, some of those place sound familiar.]

Are you saying we've been in Japan this whole time?

[Video]

[parkour]

Not exactly, no. That would be far too easy, wouldn't it?

Oh, so we finally meet in person, huh?

[parkour]

[Smirking.] So it would seem, since it's obviously not illusory.

[Did someone say programmers? Of a game?!--- America's all over that.]

So Japan could have sent us all here!

[In a way, his logic can't be doubted... Japan isn't there, after all.

It's just a shame he ignored a lot of the other stuff.]

[Video]

[parkour]

[He's more than familiar with the countries by now, though he doesn't know America. He laughs, though.] I doubt Japan is the cause directly. Japanese people, perhaps.

And you don't want to take that walk?

[parkour]

How do you know I haven't already, Rise-chan?

[ wow. talk about an interesting individual. she can't exactly ignore that kind of attitude. somehow, she's having zagi flashbacks. ]

. . . Are you all right? [ you were getting a little excited there. ]

[parkour]

I'm fine, I'm fine! [He's not that unhinged, really. He smiles, brow quirking ever-so-slightly.] There's really no reason to believe otherwise.

[ Being someone that belonged in the world of politics --- the slow - or lack of progress bothered her a little. ]

This is a little curious ... development shouldn't take that long.

So ... the natives have no power to make their own progress? [ She had been told that this was a game. ] I see ... I suppose that wouldn't be in their program.

[parkour]

That's right. The NPCs generally only do menial tasks. [A pause.] Of course, that doesn't mean there won't eventually be NPCs programmed for the task!

But it does seem like it's taking a while, hm? Perhaps they thought we'd never notice.

[nankurunaizer.livejournal.com]

Do you really think there's somethin' like that out for all of the regions? Even Okinawa?

[Video]

[parkour]

Who knows? It really wouldn't be very surprising if there was -- or if there will be.

[brightshielding.livejournal.com]

Umm... "program" the water...? [goddamnit why is everyone from the future!!!!!]

[parkour]

Yes, that's right. [He's not going to just explain himself. That would make things entirely too easy.]

[video]

[noodlegoggles]

Wah-- wait!! We've been in Japan all along? [BIGGEST. POUT. EVER.]

[video]

[parkour]

[He can't resist. It's too easy.] You didn't know, Daisuke-kun?

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

[Pinged by, what else, programming talk.]

It shouldn't take that long to work out the glitches. Though, I wonder if Missingno's real here...

[Video]

[parkour]

Shouldn't but still seems to be the case. Either they're very incompetent or they're doing it purposefully! [He shrugs.] As for Missingno... it's been seen in the past.

[parkour]

Surely your brain can process at least this much, Kachin.

[justicereigns]

What if it goes over water?

[Video]

[parkour]

What about it? It's common enough on train tracks.
