Hello? Helloooo?

[ The feed opens to the image of two wide, bright blue eyes staring curiously at the camera. It then zooms out, as Menma pulls the device away from her face. Her finger then appears, to poke at the screen. ]

Can anyone see me? You can see me, right?

[ There's more poking, and then, a wide smile cracks on her gentle features. ]

I'm Menma! Nice to meet you all! I was told I can use this thing to talk to everyone, so~ Hmmmmm...

[ She glances around briefly, before returning her attention back to the camera. ]

So, who wants to catch Nokemon with me? It'll be fun, promise! Let's become friends and have adventures together. Okay? Bye!

[ A soft giggle, then the camera view shakes as Menma tries to find the switch-off button of her new shiny Pokegear. Eventually the feed turns off. ]

[ Action ]

[ Whoever is walking in the streets of New Bark Town can see the figure of a young girl who stands out, more or less, because of her white flowing dress and the fact that she's barefoot. Menma is trotting happily without a care in the world, humming in a sing-song tone in rythm with the music on the background. At her feet, a Petilil is following along in the same chipper manner. One would assume she doesn't know where the hell she's going... ]

[ Brb, checking. ] A Petilil, yeah! I need a name for her...

[...Oh wow, talk about experiences that bring back so many memories.

Okay, how is she going to tell you this?]

Ummm. This really isn't heaven, this is the world of Pokémon. And [to make it less bad?!] your friends from home might also either already be here or they might show up someday. Until that you can make new friends.

Actually, Menma ... it is Pokemon ...

... and if you like, I can help you look for a suitable name for her?

Ah... That's not really the most subtle way to avoid copyright infringement...

...

[ Sorry, it looks like her brain broke a little hearing that. ]

But that can't be possible... I'm dead, I should be in heaven! What do you mean my friends are here?

It's Nokemon! It's just like that game, you know? [ She won't believe otherwise- because she's a kid. ]

Really you would help me?

...

What's a copyright infringement?

[No, it's okay. Mitsuki -- almost saw that coming, considering all the brain breaking moments of her life. Dead? She's really ... dead? Welcome to Mitsuki's life, it's kind of been full of dead people in many ways.]

Well, they might be here, or they might come here someday. If they reply to this then they are here. If they don't, then maybe they are not here...

[...actually, the question that could be here? She takes that one back. 'Wouldn't heaven be a lonely place' is definitely not a question to ask, ever, because then she'd have to ask it from her self too after her first love went there.]

Because... This is not heaven and not exactly the real world either. We could say that this is a place for all the dead and the living people to meet again.

Basically, it means the name was changed so they could get away with imitation!

... or rather, if it wasn't, the infringing would have commenced.

[ This all sounds so big and complex, too complicated for poor Menma who just wanted to go to heaven, have her wish fulfilled and be happy in the afterlife. If what Mitsuki says is true, then the reward expected is greater than she was used to think. But...

A part of her is hoping that her friends don't respond to this. They all have school, a life to fulfill, dreams to accomplish... and families to look after. What if arriving here hurts them? What if it's something they never wanted? As much as it pains her, it's best if they all moved on. That's what she thinks.

The cheeriness in her voice dies down, and now she looks a little wistful, gaze wandering to the side. ]

Are there people who don't want to be here, I wonder?

A name was changed? I didn't know that!

[...Okay, you'd get a hug if she was in New Bark right now.]

I wonder that too. We all just wake up here at some point, so I guess there are that kind of people too. Everyone have their things to do at home...

But, it's not the worst place either. You'll get a lot of different friends who come from all kind of worlds. And if this place ever sends you back to where you came from, you'll go straight to the situation where you were before coming here.

[ She wisely ... decided not to correct her. ]

It will be a pleasure to help a friend.

Don't worry, it was all for your safety!

... probably.

Heeeee! Thanks!

[ The camera shakes a bit. Menma changes the angle to show the Petilil that is chilling on the ground. ]

What name would be cool for her, I wonder? She's a girl, by the way!

We can be... sent back? You mean we won't be here forever?

[ She wouldn't be concerned about herself, but if that would be the case- then her friends wouldn't lose their dreams, and at the same time, they can be together and have adventures in this world that is so much like the videogame they used to play the six of them.

Suddenly, it doesn't sound so grim. ]

My safety?

[ Paaaaause. She changes her expression to a wide :O. ]

Am I in danger?

Yes we can. This is my second time here [or technically third, because she was in a coma, but ...], so I know it's true.

It's just entirely random; who gets send home and who stays here for years.

[She still kind of feels bad for ruining her impression of heaven, but not so much because...]

So, anyone can come here and be sent back from here. Living people go back to their dreams [...except those who come here from right before their death, but uh, let's not think negative!] and dead people go guard over them to heaven from here.

For Menma-chan it's the chance to meet your friends who are still alive, and for me it's the chance to meet my guardian angels again if our friends ever come here, yeah?

Ah, well... Not you, exactly. More the people who made the "Noke"mon...

Well, lets see. What do you know about her so far?

Not her type or breed. How does she behave?

[ Menma listens, without interrupting. Real heaven will come if she leaves this place, huh... but she can't leave on her own. There's a question that pops in her mind and she'd like to ask, but before that- ]

Guardian... angels?

Uhu? Why is that? Is a crime organization after them?

Hmmmm... [ Tilting her head a bit. ]

She's sweet and cute, and she lets me hug her and pet her!

That does sound like a good friend.. [ apparently going to heaven isn't even anything weird to maria, she nods as if the other girl said 'helped me go to the playground' or something like that. ]

Are Memna and Anaru as good of friends as Maria and Sakutaro are, uu-? Friends who are always together?
