[There's nothing better to do after three days out in the cold and a chat with your best friend than to stare at your journal and idly contemplate whether or not interacting with People sounds like a good enough idea.

But something's on his mind. Or, well, a few somethings, but it's persistently sticking there enough to be worth asking.

To the journal.]

Could anyone tell me about leaders? [Well that's vague. ...Whatever.]

[...]

And while I'm here, what are elves? [...] And what's "tsun"?

[tsuntrader]

I've never heard of them until recently. [Sure, that's leaving out a detail, but it's definitely the truth.]

[bamfing]

Well usually they're just made up, make believe stuff. But they're real in some worlds.

[tsuntrader]

Everything's real in some worlds. I bet Luceti even has people from video games running around.

[bamfing]

Are you kidding? Our old neighbors used to have a ton of Pokemon. I can't believe their house didn't fall in on them.

[tsuntrader]

...That was probably-

[Wait wait wait wait pause hold the pokégear. What?] Pokémon are just things in a video game for you?

[bamfing]

Ahh... yeah. Of course. What are they in your world? Because they're toys, a TV show, trading cards, and pretty much everything here.

[tsuntrader]

All of that stuff. ...And, you know, actual Pokémon.

[bamfing]

... oh. [OH.] Oh man, dude, I'm sorry. I guess I just totally blew the fourth wall down.

[tsuntrader]

It's fine. It's not that much weirder than not knowing about them at all.

[bamfing]

Well, I know how you feel. I get told I'm from comic books.

[tsuntrader]

[...From what he can see, this guy's blue, so at least that's pretty believable.]

I wonder how accurate these even are. [Maybe Jigglypuff wouldn't be able to fly or something. Now that's just silly.]

[bamfing]

I've heard a little about the ahh... comic me. It doesn't sound very accurate.

[tsuntrader]

How inaccurate are we talking, here?

[bamfing]

Well... let's just say I was never in the circus.

[tsuntrader]

[What's a circus again?] I guess it could also be one of those weird double differences, but maybe I'm thinking about it too much.

[bamfing]

Yeah, trust me, man, it's best not to think about it too much.

[tsuntrader]

Maybe, but now it's like saying "don't think about pink phanpy."

[bamfing]

... I'll consider myself lucky I don't know what that is. So I don't think about it.
