Sixty-Fifth Theory [Video]

[The video feed clicks on, and Don looks thoughtfully at the camera for a moment before speaking.]

Another Christmas in Luceti.

[His tone is direct, just stating a fact, but somewhere behind it is a note of melancholy.]

This is my third. All of them have been in this house. All of them have been with different people.

[He slides back from the journal, revealing a corner of his winter room. He's been gradually moving into it over the past week, and has more or less taken up residence now.]

I've seen a lot of people come and go. There probably aren't many left who remember when Luceti didn't have electricity.

[He picks up some small bit of tech and squints at it.]

When I arrived here, the drafts were just starting. There were no missions. The Battle Dome didn't exist. We didn't have a farm and there was a desert where the ocean is now.

[He carefully threads a length of wire through a hole in the tech part.]

The buildings were shorter. Some of the stores and restaurants weren't open. [A pause.] I think I'm forgetting things...

[The wire slides through, and he knots the loose ends to form a loop.]

Does anyone remember other things that have changed? Or, does anyone want a history lesson? I'll be here all day.

Agriculture? No, it's more like... pets. Animals.

< That sounds fine. When you would like to begin? >

[Ami makes a mental note to check out some books about language theory and teaching.]

Count me in for next time, I guess. [This is not quite a put-upon tone, but she doesn't seem to muster much enthusiasm, either. Then again, she never really does.]

Considering the amount of resources this village used to have, there's no doubt things have become more comfortable over time. Kidnappings for individual experimentation have dropped as well.

[Back in the day, there could be up to ten people kidnapped at a time and the results would be far more gruesome. More physical harm, less Shift effects.]

Wishful thinking, I guess.

Still, there has to be some kind of experimentation they could do besides grabbing us from the village. By now, you'd think they'd have gotten enough results to try something different.

...It was when the barrier fell and the Third Party came crashing in. August, I think. My first year.

[It's short notice, but she doesn't mind that. Ami only takes a moment to check the clinic schedule first.]

< In the evening, maybe? >

If you decide to become a breeder, a Pokemon professor, gym leader, and more. There are a lot of jobs that involve Pokemon. Even if you don't have a job involving Pokemon, you can still train and take care of them. [if that makes sense.]

I'm Daria. What's yours?

[Thank God.]

Your parents were art-lovers, huh? That's pretty cool.

Yup! A Pokemon Professor, they spend their lives studying Pokemon things. [She's not all clued in on the details, since, well, she never wanted to be one.]

Nah. We were all a little busy with the trying not to die.
