First Round [Audio] (Backdated to this morning)

[starpunching]

[The audiofeed crackles on in what seems to be the middle of a conversation, the speakers seemingly unaware.]

-a journey? What? Lady, you seem real nice and stuff, but you ain't my Ma. Also, I dunno what "journey" you're talkin' about. The only "journey" I gotta take is down to the gym. Doc hates it when I'm late!

The gym? Just starting and you're already thinking about battling gymleaders! Such an enthusiastic boy! Good luck, dear! Work hard!

Wh-
Hey, wait a minute, what are you even talking abou-

H-Hey! HEY! Lady! Stop shovin' me!

[The sound of a door slamming can be heard, after which there are a few moments of silence.]

Uh...

This...



...What?

More or less.

There's a few people here from where I come from, but not many.

Like... four.

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

Four more than where I'm from as far as I know.

Man, this whole thing is startin' to sound real complicated. I've got people tellin' me people are here from different places AND different times?!

Geez... I'm startin' to wonder if maybe I took too many hits to the head...

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yeeeeah, it... kinda makes your head spin at first.

Anyway... hits to the head?

What, you in a gang or something?

_{[... yes, the first thing Heather is going to assume is not 'pro boxer', but 'gang'. Shows what kind of neighborhood SHE grew up in.]}

[Video]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

Wh-

No, no! I'm a boxer! _{Geez, is that the kinda vibe I give off...?}

Though, there were some pretty rough guys back home. I mean, I guess I coulda been in a gang if I wanted. I bet I coulda kept up...

_{[...He's actually giving this thought.]}

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[GOOD GOIN', MAC.]}

OH.

Well, I guess that's a bit more respectable than a gang member.

Anyway, hate to bust your bubble, but there's plenty of people here who HAVEN'T taken a lot of blows to the head and they're still as here as ever.

_{I would hope I'm more respectable than that...}

...Huh. Well, I guess if havin' brain damage is the other possibility, then ending up...where ever we are is the better option...

Still, though, this is, uh, kind of a lot to take in, y'know?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yeah.

Don't worry, you're not alone. Most people kinda wig out when they get here, anyway. Not that I can blame any of 'em.

[Video]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess if everybody starts out this way, I feel like less of a doofus.

Oh, uh, I'm Mac, by the way.

[foolishwren]

_{[She makes a 'psh' noise and waves a dismissive hand, rolling her eyes.]}

Nah, man, you're good.

Nice t'meet ya. Name's Heather.
