1st Flight [Video]

Seriously? Pokémon? I’m taken in my sleep to some alternate dimension and the big bad behind it can’t come up with anything more sinister than Pokémon?
[Carol isn’t pleased or impressed by your kidnapping of her, whoever you are. There is a Taillow currently flying around in the background of the shot. Carol’s ignoring that for now.]

I’m in a generous mood today, so here’s some tips to help you next time you try to capture someone and make them believe they’re part of a video game.

One: If you put in someone pretending to be my mom, make sure she at least looks like she could be my mother. [the video shifts over quickly to Mom, who is standing in the doorway whose cheerful offer of cookies is cut off by the video moving back to Carol.] Seriously? Did she have me when she was ten?

Two: The bird’s cute [As if on cue the Taillow lands on Carol’s shoulder and chirps happily] but you can’t sway me with cute animals that I assume will battle other cute animals on command.

And finally-[Carol’s face hardens. She brings the gear very close to her face as if to heighten the effect] taking my powers doesn’t cripple me. I will find you, and I will take you down. So I suggest you give me back my powers before I get any madder.

...That's...

...well, I'm not sure if impressive is quite the word for it, but nothing like that's been possible for magic users in my world for an extremely long time. Certainly, there's no technology in my world that can match that, either...

Yeah, it's insane. One of the mages was evil and the other was out of her mind at the time. We have no idea how either did it.

How Stark managed is anyone's guess. I'm not sure even he knows.

It's unfortunate that there wasn't any explanation behind either method, as that might provide some sort of breakthrough in figuring out how we got here and how we can voluntarily leave... but I suppose that would just be too easy, wouldn't it?

I've heard suggestions that there might be a machine behind this before, but I'm not so sure if I buy it, particularly when there are other possible explanations for it that seem more viable with regard to how this world seems to work.

[tookthename]

Yeah, it's never that easy.

Even if it is a machine there's still probably someone behind it. All machines at least have a programmer and pulling people from other dimensions into this one seems a bit to specific for a computer to randomly come up with on it's own.

[enjoymyatelier]

Most definitely. On the off chance that a machine is involved, I wouldn't be surprised if they worked something specific to this world into the construction, either-you suggested you're familiar with the games, didn't you?

[tookthename]

Kinda. When they got big in my country I was over the targeted age, but I had a few friends who enjoyed them. That and it's hard to live in my world and not know about Pokémon.

So I've heard-I've had several people describe them to me, but the knowledge that can be gleaned from them seems somewhat limited when applied to this world. For all I know, they may exist in my world, as well, but I don't keep up with that sort of thing... and if that's so, I'd prefer not to hear any comments about living under a rock or anything like that.
