-like any angel I've ever seen, but it wouldn't be surprisin' if they'd got it all wrong in the first place, would it?

[The speaker doesn't appear to be paying much attention to his Pokegear and it looks like it's just balanced on his knee while he's sitting down. Chances are the redhaired young man doesn't even realize it's on. Anyone with a good memory might recognize his surroundings as New Bark Town- oh dear, it's another new arrival unfamiliar with modern technology.]

[Tucked in one arm is a little Mime Jr, sagging in what looks like exhaustion and sadness. His other arm... Well, wearing a Juggler's outfit shows that the other sleeve is completely empty and just limply laying at his side. Joker continues to move his hand about, apparently looking through the things that strange woman gave to him. (Must be something in her head, thinking he was her son, it wouldn't be the first time he's seen that sort of thing.)]

[The Mime Jr. suddenly leans forward, pointing at the screen and making some noises. That draws Joker's attention again and he picks the Gear up.]

What about this, then? [More noises from the Mime Jr.] ...I don't know a spit of whatever it is they speak in Heaven, so you'll want to stick to English with me.

[...uh]

[...]

[Huh]

If it ain't too much trouble, can you run that by me a second time?

This world.

[She indicates all around, then shakes her head.]

Not your world. You have been brought here--[she points downward.] To live a new life, with--[she points at Mime Jr.] your new friend, that Pokemon.

[Then Botan points at herself.]

I--a non-human--was changed into a human when I was brought here. I am not the only one that's experienced this. We don't know how it happens yet, if it's magic or otherwise, but we make do with what we've been given.

Essentially, if you were dead, you are no longer dead. You're alive again, yaaaay! [Jazz hands!]

[...]

And yer sure this isn't some- [What's the worrrrrrd... Oh right.] -hallucination from smoke or some such?

[Forgive him for being a little slow, Botan, he's still getting used to the "not being dead" part.]

It would be quite the hallucination considering there's over a hundred people from different worlds here, by my last count.

Besides, do I look like a hallucination? [She reaches out and taps the screen.]

[Does Johto have any booze? Please let this not be PG rated, Joker might actually need booze. Or to just lay down and focus on not letting his brain explode because ahahaha different worlds, h e l p]

Well, I'd say yer either a hallucination or someone I should hire for my troupe, hair like that.

Cute, but I have very important babysitting duties to attend to otherwise, I'd have to decline your offer.

[Also it's totally natural, don't be jealous.]

You got a name? Mine's Botan.

I can guarantee you the circus is much more fun than that~.

[Yes, good, let's move away from the mindbreaking topics here. The Mime Jr. is starting to look a little dazed here. He gives the best bow he can while still sitting down.]

Joker, acting Ring Leader of the Noah's Ark Circus, here for yer entertainment!

[Whatever you say, clownboy.]

Really? You're going to have quite a time rebuilding your circus here, but hey, there are loads of different Pokemon to collect. I'm sure you'll have it in no time!

[excuse u, ringmaster, he is a horrible clown]

To be honest, it was more of a family affair. Might seem a bit odd startin' it all up on my own! [And there's still that not dead thing to get over.] Still, suppose there's no reason not to! How much loads is loads, then?

Hmmmm, upwards of...five hundred or more at this point? That's with the electric dictionary they gave us seems to suggest, anyway! There are some I haven't even seen yet, though, perhaps they're hiding.

[That earns an impressed whistle.]

Always knew there were more beasts than I could think of, but that's a mighty impressive number. Looks like we might end up with some friends for ya, Angel. [He pats the Mime Jr., who looks just as shocked.] You got some of these yourself, then?

I do, as a matter of fact! [And she holds up the one that's closest to her at the time--her Zorua--to the screen.] This is Satoshi, his species name is "Zorua" here, though he rather looks like a fox to me.

Well, a lovely fellow for a lovely lady then. I don't suppose I'd find a friend a his 'round these parts I'm at right now, would I?

[Angel gives a friendly wave, in the meantime, to Satoshi.]

Hmmm, not where you are presently--[Satoshi decides he'd rather nest on his owner's head for the moment. Botan takes this in stride.] Although you can purchase an egg for one at the Breeding Centre--the contact number for them should be programmed into this device you're using!

I'll see about that, then!

[Pause.]

I don't suppose this thing comes with... instructions? A some sort?

It should come with a user manual in your bag, anything else just try and see what happens! It's near impossible to break from my view.

I'd rather not test it, ta be honest! Seems like it'll be a pretty important little thing while I'm here.

Well, yes, it is your only means of communicating with all of us lovely people in Johto, and I suppose you wouldn't get better at it if you broke it.
