Another world, is it?

[ The feed comes on to show a young woman's face on the screen, looking at the Gear with an idle sort of wonder. In her other hand is a common, and familiar, handbook, one which she quickly glances back to as soon as the Gear is turned on. Seems like someone is trying to make sense of all this... technical jargon. But it's somehow able to make sense. Somehow.

After several moments of silence, she snaps the handbook closed with a sigh. She brings her attention back to the Gear. ]

Is there even a point to being "the best"? [ Does it involve you going back home? ] The book doesn't mention titans, but how much is this book not telling me?

[ Skeptical? Just a bit for all that the dubiousness shows on her impassive face. ]

I need to find my friends. If anyone knows a boy named Armin-- [ Pause. No, there's too many to list. She glances down to her arm and lifts it up to show the insignia of two swords crossing over a shield. ] If anyone has seen anyone with this jacket and symbol, please inform me immediately.

As for where to go... [ She trails off. She has a journey, but no destination. And the fact that she's alo-- a small roaring sound from outside the screen lifts up her head. ]

... Right. I need to find berries, too. [ I need a distraction. ]

[A middle-aged man's face shows up on the screen. He's sitting on a bench at the side of a road by an open grassy area, where a Snubbull is throwing a stick for a Growlithe.]

[Blake's taking a breather, and he figures he should give the serious-looking girl the good news.]

No point to anything, as far as anybody's figured out.

[The Growlithe drops the stick and barks. The Snubbull patiently lifts it in her claws and throws it, sending the yapping fire-dog-thing scampering after it. Puppies.]

There's some giant ones if that's what you mean by titans.

[Blake tilts the screen to get a better look at the logo.]

Never seen it before. What are they, in your band?

Indeed. We've all been transported from our own worlds to this one. As to how, it remains a mystery.

I'm unsure what it means to be 'the best', although I suppose the definition may differ for each individual.

Unfortunately, I have not seen that symbol in my time here. However, that does not necessarily mean that someone else hasn't. I've only been here a few weeks, while others have been here much longer.

Being the best just gives you bragging rights.

[Titans...? That can refer to a lot of things, but he'll probably get more answers if he gives some of his own, so-]

Not a practical one, really. It's simply something to aim for until this place decides to send you home.

As for what the book doesn't tell you... a fair bit, really, though I haven't come across any mention of "titans" in my studies. That may be something present in your world that isn't present here.

There's a guide. [ This girl is the most helpful, isn't she? ]

It doesn't mention titans either. Is that a Pokemon?

[chosen_light_child]

[Hikari had no idea what a 'titan' was, but she could tell that whatever it was probably wasn't good. But well, she might as well get to answering the questions, even if she didn't have any positive answers.]

I... haven't seen that symbol before. But I'll be sure to let you know if I do.

And well... there's really no reason to be the best unless that's something you like to aim for. A lot of people thought that it'd get home at first if they got all of the badges, but that's been proven wrong a lot of times over by now.

Your friends may not be here... yet, at least. This world sometimes has an uncanny way of bringing new individuals.

[And taking them away, too, but he leaves that part out.]

If you don't mind me asking, what do those symbols mean?
