[Radley isn't convinced and thinks he would be fine with missing those kinds of shows. But ... he does worry about his friends. Carly's the only one he's made who has a Gym.]

Kaiju-Pokemon?

[Dare he ask?]

[insidescoop]

Imagine a pokemon.

[Imagining it? Good.]

Now, imagine it the size of a large house~

[Well.]

[crystalmaster]

... That is terrifying. The Pokemon are probably as scared as the people, if not more.

[insidescoop]

And you'd be exactly right!

Part of the problem wasn't really fighting them, it was more calming them down...either way, no one was seriously hurt- and that's the important part~!

[crystalmaster]

That's good.

[He's grown weary of the idea that battles solve everything, both in this world and his own.]

Kind of amazing nobody got badly hurt. That sounds like there were some injuries, though....

[insidescoop]

Mmmm, nothing major; and honestly even saying that is misleading. Over all, other than some cuts and bruises, everyone came out fine!

...I mean the property sure didn't, but we can chalk that one up to weird game logic.

[crystalmaster]

... Well, that's the most important thing.

Do you figure we're trapped in a video game, then? I'd rather think it's another dimension. The Pokemon seem too real to be pixels....

[insidescoop]

I don't think we're stuck in a literal game, [she quickly insists, before grimacing.] ...There's...people who think a little too much on that point, actually...

But it's definitely a world that's like one! It's as real an 'isekai' as we get!

[crystalmaster]

[Radley quirks an eyebrow.]

How do you think too much on it? Being obsessed with going through it like it's a game and getting out to go home at the end?

[He smirks a bit in amusement.]

I guess we havta be glad we can still be ourselves, instead of plopping into existing characters' lives like we're them.

[insidescoop]

[Carly is, unfortunately, left to simply sigh with recalled resignation.] I once camped with someone who spent three weeks in the bottom of a cave looking for a wall to clip through, so you'd be surprised how right you are...

[Yikes!] That is a comfort though, isn't it~? And it definitely makes it feel less like...well. A literal game we were put in. It's just a weird version of reality is all!

[crystalmaster]

... Yikes. How did they finally give up?

Yeah, I guess that's probably what it is.

[insidescoop]

He decided he found nothing and that it was time to move on to the next spot... [She sighs, shaking her head.] I don't think he's fully given up so I keep most of my thoughts about how 'game-like' the rules of the world are to myself around him...

[crystalmaster]

Probably a good idea.
