[Neku pops on screen cast in shadows, as Gibson, his Emolga, is lighting the area with his cheeks. In the dim light it's clear he's underground, and the ruins can be just made out behind him]

So... I might be kinda stuck in here. SOMEONE was playing with that weird sliding puzzle when I wasn't paying attention. I've figured out a few of the puzzles so I'm not too worried, but still, this is gonna put a few days on my travel plans.

[He glares at Bell, who just yawns]

Anyways, this place is pretty weird...

[As he's talking, one can just barely see two Smeargle behind him, sniffing around his bag. Eventually they find the eggs Neku just got from Chihiro, and pull out the Riolu one. They woof at each other and start cuddling it like a happy couple with their new baby. Bell notices and hisses]

Huh..? H-hey, that's not yours-!

Yeah, it's pretty easy to get lost there, 'specially if you're traveling by yourself.

You think you might need any help?

[Not that Jimmy will really be able to do anything from here, but.]

From:

scratchitti

I think I'll be alright. The puzzles so far aren't that hard. And I have the gear if I get TOO stuck at least.

From:

awesmazings

That's true! Plus your Pokemon should be able to help out if you start havin' trouble.

[It's been a little while since he's been at the Ruins, but he remembers them being pretty windy and easy to get lost in.]

My name's Jimmy, by the way. What's yours?

From:

scratchitti

Neku. I think we might have meet when I was here last time.

From:

awesmazings

Oh yeah? ...Mm...You do seem familiar.

So you were here, left, and then came back?

From:

scratchitti

Pretty much. I remember my first time here, but I didn't while I was back home.

From:

awesmazings

That's pretty weird. I've heard that that can happen, though.

You have any idea how long you might've been gone, or...?

From:

scratchitti

It was...mid fall when I left? So a few months. But I was home for only two weeks.

From:

awesmazings

[That's even weirder.]

I guess they really do mean it when they say time passes differently here compared to back home...

[Especially since practically no time had passed back home for Beezy and Heloise.]

Well, either way, it's good to see you again! If you need any help with anything, you're always welcome to call me. I'll help you out however I can.
