8th moon [video/action for Violet???]

[paladinlost]

[The feed shows Sprout Tower. A very pixellated Sprout Tower. A very lopsided Sprout Tower. Almost as if the Pokégear was being held by a very limp hand.]

This is not quite what I expected when I decided to take a walk this morning.

Aerith, you might want to go to Goldenrod today. I believe it will save you some travelling time.

...Is this some sort of nightmare?

Efficient's good. And I've seen worse monsters before.

[As he spoke, he examined a particularly pixelated few bones--the arm of a Kabutops, apparently.]

Though how these walk when they're by all accounts pixels and bones is anyone's guess.

So have I, but never without my sword or my powers.

A few people mentioned a link between this world and a 'videogame'. Could that explain it?

Glitch in the system making everything all...boxy?

[He poked at the giant blade-arm curiously.]

Hm. Interesting.

What worries me the most is the changes in our Pokémon. How could those little squares make them lose their personalities? Will they... will they ever go back to normal?

Now you should listen very carefully, because I am about to say something I very, very rarely say.

I have no idea.

[paladinlost]

...For some reason, hearing these words is very alarming.

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

It should be. I'm the Doctor; I always know what's going on. I've traveled time and space for hundreds of years. This...is something I've never experienced. Never heard of.

This is something I know nothing about.

There are some events for which all the experience in the world does not prepare us. It appears this is one of them.

...But those who were familiar with this world through those 'videogames' might know what is happening. Kaito, that young man who knew of my world, the other young man who was interested when I ask people about other worlds...

I've got all the experience of several worlds. Bit behind on videogames, though.

[video]

[paladinlost]

They simply do not exist in my world, so I'm afraid I can be of very little help there.

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Hm. Either way, I'm a bit concerned about this whole boxy-pixel-problem.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Hopefully it will be temporary. The colors are giving me a headache. At least the non-natives were not affected.

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Yet.

Not affected yet.

[paladinlost]

...You have slain the last remnants of my optimism. Thank you.

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Ah, buck up. I've seen worse.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Planet-eating moons controlled by an army of identical little girls and defended by the forcibly-reanimated souls of your worst foes? Would that count as worse?

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Not as bad as cracks forming in the fabric of the universe.

[video]

[paladinlost]

That sounds extremely worrying. Can such cracks be repaired?

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

No idea. Doesn't matter right now, I'd focus on the word turning all square.

Those monsters might be responsible for this. But sources of information about this world are scarce. I do not know of any library that could tell us more about them.
