[The video feed turns on with a clatter as Rika's PokéGear falls onto the floor. All that's visible is Rika's hand hanging over the edge of the bed. There's silence for a few moments as everything in the room stays still until suddenly there's the sound of a frantic pokémon.]

Vee! Vee! [At that moment, Rika's hand moves out of view of the Gear.]

Prince? Are you all right? [There's fumbling around for the Gear until Rika manages to reach over the side of the bed and pick it up. She has a worried look on her face despite the fact that she's hugging her Eevee.]

What's going on? How long have I been asleep?

A little sister. 12 years younger than me. She's really cute!

Mii! I bet she's younger than me, then, right?

Kind of, it's a little hard to say... [ Ange's age is a complicated issue... ] But she'd be six years old back in 1986 where I come from.

Why is it hard to say?

[and that date catches her eye] ... 1986?

Would you believe it if I said that even though she's 12 years younger than me... the last time I saw her she was the same age?

I might be from 1986, but I've met my sister from the year 1998... weird, huh?

That is strange... I wonder how that happened.

..."Magic", I guess?

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

You think so?

I can't think of any other way to explain time travel.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

[She nods.] After all, you do need some sort of power to go back into time.

The witch you know was involved in it too. I guess that's an obvious sign that someone was up to no good.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Which one was it?

video;

[uselessmagic.livejournal.com]

Bernkastel. I have her to blame for dragging Ange into things.

video;

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

... Was there a reason for why she did that?

video;

[uselessmagic.livejournal.com]

Who knows how she thinks? Probably just to mess with us all some more.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

You think so?

She's the type that'd do anything to make things more interesting... for her.

I've heard from Lambdadelta that they will do anything to get rid of their boredom. They've lived a very long time... so I can understand why they don't want to be bored.

There's gotta be limits to what you're willing to do though.

video;

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

That's true.

Where would you place those limits?

video;

[uselessmagic.livejournal.com]

Hurting other people.

video;

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

[She nods.] I don't see how others getting hurt can be fun.

video;

[uselessmagic.livejournal.com]

They'd definitely disagree with the both of us. If anything, that's the only thing they enjoy.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

...

You know a lot about them.

[uselessmagic.livejournal.com]

Like I've said, they caused me a lot of trouble. But it's alright, I've returned the favor too.
