--ah! I still know how to turn it on!

[ Pop goes the feed, and the face of a young girl with short black hair and blue eyes appears on the screen. There's a Skarmory also peering down at the screen with wonder and squawks at what Xion's doing with the PokeGear. ]

I, uh... [ Oh, now that she's gotten it back on, she... really didn't think about what she should say. Instead, she gives a brief wave with a shy smile before that hand goes to rub at her neck in slight embarrassment. She recovers quickly, though, after her new steely companion bumps her beak against Xion's cheek. ]

It's been a long time, it seems. At least I think it should be for here. It didn't even feel like I was gone, and yet... I remember this time.

It's good to be back.

...Well, guess you really are back.

[it's an underwhelming reaction, but considering he had just gotten out of Mt. Moon, all his energy had been spent, to be honest.]

Hello, Shinn. [ Have a small smile as she peer a bit closer at the screen. ] You... seem to be doing okay?

[video]

[soggypastry]

[Huh. She knows that face. Knows that voice. Been a long time is a bit of an understatement, and some part of Lightning's mind wonders why her and not Ven or Leon or Fang or Snow--but she stomps on that and offers the camera a warm, if slightly small and tired, smile.]

Welcome back. It has been a long time, Xion.

[memoryborn]

[ Despite whatever last note they left on - which she worries just slightly as she can't recall what sort of foot they left off of - Xion gives a smile in return. ]

It must have been. You look worn out from it all.

[babel_hacker]

...Xion?

[A young man stare at the screen, before he realised it's recording and immediately grin. He might be a little older than before, and sound a little older as well, but he's undeniably Atsuro Kihara.

If he isn't, the hat might be a big giveaway.]

Xion, welcome back!

[He's honestly happy to see an old friend again. Not only that, but she remembers as well.]

[Video]

[memoryborn]

Hehe, it's nice to see you again, Atsuro! [ He gets a grin; his upbeat personality is still in place, she sees! ]

It's good to know you're still around. And you look a little bigger, too.

Xion?

[Hi, have a very bewildered looking Riku. This... is not what he expected, especially in light of Ven's recent disappearance. Needless to say, it's a bit of a shocker for him.]

[memoryborn]

[ The voice and face make her pause just for a moment, but greets Riku with a warm, if slightly shy, smile. ]

It's me, Riku. You seem really surprised. I'm sorry if it's... because I left a long while ago.

[caster_blaster]

You mean that you actually escaped this place and got dragged back? You're awfully positive about the whole thing.

[Video]

[memoryborn]

I didn't do so voluntarily - on both ends, really. I'm not the only one that this happened to.

[for_realsies]

Hello!

We haven't met, I'm Imogen!

Is it good to be back? Are you from one of those worlds that likes here better?

[memoryborn]

Hello, Imogen. I'm Xion. [ Have a small smile for the bit of enthusiasm she's displaying. ]

Well, it's definitely a lot safer than the world I came in.

[ video ]

[colorsofthewind]

Welcome back Xion!

[ video ]

[memoryborn]

Talim! It's good to see you're still here. Are you okay?

[video]

[paladinlost]

...Xion...?

[Well. There's a face he hasn't seen in a while.]

Xion, you're back! Are you alright? Did you find any of your old Pokémon?

[video]

[memoryborn]

Yes, it's me, Cecil. It's really good to hear from you.

[ Since she heard some close friend disappearances happened while she was away, it's good to hear that some people stayed. ]

And no, not yet. I think I have to ask Riku or someone else about them.

[Video]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Good? Good? The only way you being back would be a good thing is if while you were gone, you learned to sssstay out of my way!

[Video]

[memoryborn]

[ ... Scowl. ]

Too bad for you, Cobra. Somehow, you're still here.

[ Her tone is pretty much showing how disappointed she's in finding that fact out. ]

[video]

[riastrad_ridire]

You're--

[Holy shit. Hang on, he's blowing a circuit.]

[video]

[memoryborn]

Lancer? It's good to see you're still here!

[ Meanwhile, Xion's beaming at hearing and seeing a familiar face. ]

[ex_cashcow493]

Xion, you have returned?

[ Her enthusiasm is rare, but it shows when she hears that a person who may have not had a good fate returned to a world where she may live. ]

Ah, your Pokemon... Have they found you? I wonder.

video;

[memoryborn]

[ Xion returns the enthusiasm with a quick nod and smile. Then it's followed by a shake of her head. ]

No, I only started with a Skarmory this time. I don't know if they went to anyone or... they went out to the wild.

[ She sounds a bit worried about the last part, but she tries to make sure it doesn't show on her face. ]

[video]

[buckyouup]

[So this girl was here before? She came back, and she remembers. Just like her. She had never met this girl before, at least as far as she can remember. Still, it would be good to offer some advice and make sure she's okay. Maybe she could even figure out how memories in this place works.]

Just try not t'think too much 'bout your time here before. I reckon my head was poundin' for the first week I was back.

[video]

[memoryborn]

[ She smiles at the bit of concern she's getting from this girl. She unconsciously rubs her head, but nods. ]

It's difficult not to, but thank you for the concern. I'm actually used to-- er, well, this wouldn't be the first time getting a rush of memories.

[The first thing that shows its face is a curious looking Dusclops, peering into the gear idly for a few moments before opening its mouth-

And shrieking shrilly into the microphone.]

Gah! Orpheus, I told you to stop doing that!

[A young girl who could be Xion's polar opposite, white hair, red eyes, and white dress, shoves the ghost aside.]

What got you so curious, anyway- Oh. Hello.

[She turns to the camera and tilts her head in confusion, clearly not understanding why her ghost decided to freak this poor girl out.]

[Video] why hello, polar opposite artificial human twin

[memoryborn]

[ The Gear had been dropped in favor of Xion covering her ears from the sudden noise. Meanwhile, Illyasviel is currently saying "hello" to a shrilly, shrieking Skarmory in return for the scare. Her Skarmory is making threatening movements at the Gear, but once Xion notices the noise has stopped, she slowly picks up her Gear and looks back at Illyasviel.

Blue and black meet red and white, and she only has to blink in confusion. ]

Uhm... What was all that about?

video.

[gunkonmyboot]

[What got his attention the most is the Skarmory, since the people he seems to get along with has Skarmorys for starters. Although something pings his interest.]

You forgotten before?

video.

[memoryborn]

Yeah. One time I was here before, and that's the one time I don't remember. I remember my previous stay here, though. I'm not the only one to have gone through this, too.
