01 | video (action for new bark town)

[ When the video feed clicks on, Namsoon looks rather ruffled up: his clothes are all askew, and there are signs of a bruise beginning to purple on his right cheek and a cut along one of his arms. There's a Mienfoo sitting on his lap, looking very excited!! to be out and about; it can barely seem to sit still. ]

I have a question. The Pokémon we’re partnered with... they aren’t supposed to attack you, right? [ there’s a pause, and then a sigh -- ] I don’t think she meant to, but she was very -- enthusiastic, when I let her out of the ball... They’re pretty strong, aren’t they? Even though they’re so small. 

[ For a few moments, he seems to zone out, staring blankly and not saying anything. Rather abruptly, though, he snaps out of it after half a minute or so: ] I was wondering, though... do they really enjoy fighting? And do we have to battle them? It just seems kind of...

[ He trails off, changing subjects abruptly: ] I think I need a band-aid.

Video; 5 years later I tag back welp.

[Yami looks pleased. "Great! Your trainer will be happy to have you along! Are you going to fight the Gym Leaders?"]

Sounds like it; Korea exists in my world, at least. [Here she hesitates and shakes her head, though] No. At least, not yet. It's only 1988 where I'm from. I guess it's later in your world?

Video; no such thing as late tagging in my book :*

[ Yeon somehow manages to look even more excited!! at the mention of Gym Leaders. "I really want to!! Hmm, I wonder if he will want to, though...?" ]

The New Year passed recently before I came here... [ there's a moment of hesitation because wow, she would be... 25 (he thinks?) older -- ] It's 2013, when I came from.

[Yami thinks about this a moment. 'Maybe win a lot of fights and show him how strong you are?']

Oh. [She looks a little surprised. 2013... She can't even imagine it] I guess that makes me your elder, technically--You'll have to show me proper respect.

[The corner of her mouth twitches, a slight smile and she looks away to giggle a bit.]

[ Yeon nods very eagerly at this suggestion. "Oh!! That's a really good idea. I'll have to try my best, then!" ]

[ Namsoon cracks a smile at that, too: ] Should I call you sunbae-nim then? Or is noona alright?

[ which are both roughly the equivalents of senpai, at varying degrees of formality! ]

[Yami grins wide. 'You can do it! I'll be cheering you on!']

Which one is more respectful? Call me that one. [A small laugh.]

Oh, I never introduced myself, right? I'm Mio Amakura. I've been here a couple months.

Sunbae-nim is. But you seem more like a noona to me. [ it's a compliment, sort of...!! ]

My name's Namsoon. It's nice to meet you, Mio.
