cawsforalarm...Hey-o, World of Pokémon. Guess who it is!
[It's been a while since anyone's seen this sorry mug on their Pokégear. A young looking boy (no older then seventeen) is beaming widely at the screen, wearing what appears to be a light hoodie; there's a Ninetales leaning her head on his shoulder, staring lazily at the camera. Perhaps it's odd to wear such a thing in summer -- but hey, compared to Plegia, evenings here are freezing cold.]
If you've got no idea who I am, or you just have no talon-t for remembering faces, my name's Henry. You should probably run while you still can. Nya ha ha! [There's a short pause as the Ninetales stirs and blinks grumpily; Henry immediately falls silent, looking down at her. A moment later he's back to his buoyant self.] Anyway, some weird stuff has happened, and I was wondering if any of you veteran dimension-hoppers could help me out here.
Or, well, even if you're not a veteran dimension-hopper, you can help me out here. If anyone's seen a Murkrow, Inkay, or Phantump -- they answer to [he counts off his fingers] Cawdia, Glowgan, and Eleanor -- then please let me know where they are! I mean, they're probably fine back out in the wild where they belong, but still. [His expression takes on a faint shadow of concern.] Especially Cawdia. I don't know how long I've been away, but she's still really young and probably doesn't have anyone looking after her, so...
...Anyway! [Just like that the shadow is gone, and Henry visibly perks up again.] Last time I checked, it was February. Like, middle of winter. And now I wake up and all of a sudden it's June! I only have 3000 Poké! And all my items are gone, my Brightpowder and the cape I stole from Lance and everything! So, like, is that a documented Thing? Did I accidentally re-weave causality and compromise the structural integrity of the temporospatial continuum?
'Cause if I did, hate to break it to you, but I think we're all gonna die. See ya!
[And just like that, the weird message is over.]

Yeah, it's a documented thing; people don't get to start repeat visits with an advantage, even if it's only been four months. Where were you back in February? I can keep an eye out for your Pokémon around Vermillion, but if you were in Johto...

Date: 2015-06-12 04:42 pm (UTC)Henry, hello!
[video]
Date: 2015-06-12 08:19 pm (UTC)You messed with time and - broke the dimension?
no subject
Date: 2015-06-12 11:31 pm (UTC)I was in Goldenrod! It's not too far from here, though, so that's fine. [He technically woke up in Goldenrod, but you're not supposed to broadcast to the world that you're a Rocket. See, Henry learns!]
[video]
Date: 2015-06-12 11:34 pm (UTC)Elsa, hi! [Somehow, his smile widens even further.] How ya been? Hope I didn't ditch ya right before you lost an arm or anything.
I would've wanted to be there for that.
[Did you miss him?]

Date: 2015-06-13 12:51 am (UTC)[Hopefully not to Blackthorn, though. That'd be nasty.]
no subject
Date: 2015-06-13 01:06 am (UTC)Ah, it's fine. I'll just ask some of the Pokémon I see on the way. I mean, it's not like Phantumps come passing through every day, right?
no subject
Date: 2015-06-13 01:14 am (UTC)Not really, no, except maybe in cities like Lavender. And I'm reasonably sure four months wouldn't be enough to float all the way there.

Date: 2015-06-13 07:43 am (UTC)[See: one Riku, staring incredulously. Henry. Dude. You're still weird, yet he can't help but laugh. It's been way too long since he saw him around hte network.]
Sounds like you got dropped off back home. Weird that you don't remember it. Maybe you bumped your head on the way back?
[video]
Date: 2015-06-14 01:37 am (UTC)Well, to put it simple, basically I fell asleep in February and woke up in June. So my theory is that I messed something up within the passage of time, and if I did, then chances are that the universe as we no it is going to collapse upon itself soon.
...Or it could be nothing to worry about. Who knows?
no subject
Date: 2015-06-14 01:38 am (UTC)...But if she left with the others, she would probably try to stick with them, and they're not ghosts. So I guess you're right.
no subject
Date: 2015-06-14 01:45 am (UTC)[Henry meets that look of judgment with a blithe smile, as usual. (Meanwhile, the Ninetales is shooting Riku an expression that looks uncomfortably akin to "help me".) His cheerful demeanour carries on throughout the reply, even as they move on to more serious topics -- but then again, what else do you expect out of Henry?]
Uhh... maybe. I feel like it would be kind of hard to forget on my own, especially considering I was about to face off with a dark draconic god who had just awoken from a thousand-year slumber. [And one he worshipped, to boot.] Oh, do you think I was so grievously injured in that battle that I somehow lost my memory? Or worse? Ooh, ooh, what if back in that world I'm supposed to be dead???
no subject
Date: 2015-06-14 02:42 pm (UTC)no subject
Date: 2015-06-14 11:20 pm (UTC)[Heh. Or maybe he's just above silly puns. Either way, he'll give that Ninetales a sympathetic look. It's cool. He understands.]
Wait, so when you say draconic, do you mean a dragon? As in an actual dragon?
[Because that's awesome. So awesome that the dead bit doesn't hit him initially.]
no subject
Date: 2015-06-15 01:18 am (UTC)And yes! We're talking about-- [His voice drops in pitch to something that's supposed to be a deep, ominous growl.]--the Fell Dragon, Grima.
Both of the important deities where I come from are dragons, actually. Grima's better, even though he is kind of trying to destroy the world.
no subject
Date: 2015-06-15 01:36 am (UTC)[He is still chirping happily, which might even make this part worse. Are you going to question the integrity of his PokéFam, Ash?]
no subject
Date: 2015-06-15 02:36 am (UTC)boy henry does this elsa from the first game she was played at have something to say about that]Uh...
[It's rather unsettling, but in some weird way... she did kind of miss him.] I've been fine. A lot has happened since the last time I saw you, but even so.
What about you?
no subject
Date: 2015-06-15 02:40 am (UTC)[He leans his head on one hand, like he's settling in for PokéGear storytime.]
Nothing really happened to me. Your life was probably much cooler.
no subject
Date: 2015-06-15 10:54 am (UTC)[Ash, your main exception is psychotic and murderous. That doesn't count.]

It ended well, though. [Aside from that thing with Lightning.] There was also the incident a couple of weeks ago, where more people than usual arrived.
[Her expression shifts, to a small smile.]
I had access to my magic that whole weekend, so it was a good turn of events.
