parkour | 004 ♜ Video | Action for Goldenrod

[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?

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

[She looks a little amused.] You're right, Izaya-san. As usual.

[Chuckling a little at that before moving on.] Do you have plans for your stay here in Johto as of yet?

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?

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

Then what exactly are you sssaying?

[All that stuff about glitches and programmers went way over his head.]

[And somehow, he's not surprised that the Commander doesn't get it. Par for the course, really.]

It's a shame we don't have a map of Japan handy, really. Then you'd be able to see just how Johto's map is a near perfect match of the Kansai region.

Oh, so we finally meet in person, huh?

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

Hah, yeah....

So, anyway, they've got a station and tracks, but no train?

For all intents and purposes. It's been "out of order" for well over a year now.

[She shakes her head.] Not yet. For now I'm settled with traveling and getting to the larger cities first.

I see, I see. [He pauses, thoughtful.] I think I may have something that can help, then.

That's pretty stupid.

Interesting.

[This information might be useful. Maybe.]

If it's a near perfect match for Japan, would that mean the sea between Olivine and Cianwood is the match for the Pacific Ocean?

Stupid is overstating it. [He shrugs.] An annoyance, maybe, especially for those who want to explore the region they're familiar with.

But it looks like the developers have to hold off until they get all the bugs out.

No. It's only the landmasses that are identical in shape, nothing else.

[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.]

Too bad you can't just hack into the command console like on an MMO.

And you don't want to take that walk?

[ 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. ]

That would be an interesting approach. Though I imagine the possibilities could be similar if it were to be found.

[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.

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