[so maybe you're just browsing the network, minding your own business, when a new message pops on the screen. let's see, nothing out of the ordina--

what is that. no, really, Angel doesn't show himself on the network that often, so either you've seen him around, or you haven't. for those who haven't, he's a very tall, lanky, spidery-looking dude, with pink fur and pointy teeth and strange eyes. he has two (visible) sets of arms, and legs, on top of that! yeah, he's a real piece of work, this one. fortunately, he's not here to bother you about magic. he's here to bother you about other things]

Sup b- er. Pirates!

The name's Angel, an' I got a little survey thingie I'm conductin'. Like, the most informal survey ever, okay? Lemme tell ya, I've been here a little while, an' it amazes me when I hear about other worlds different from my own. It's incredible, like, a lotta you go through stuff I couldn't even imagine.

My question is, out of all the people you've talked to, which world do ya wanna visit the most?

I'll go first! [as cool as Angel usually is, it's obvious he's passionate about what he has to say] This kid told me about a world with little animals or monsters, or whatever, that are called Pokémon! There are a whole bunch of different species, an' I wanna meet 'em all! [wait. he calms himself] ...They don't have cats or dogs, but there are Pokémon for those, I guess. Sounds fun, right?

So, what about you, huh? Lemme know about other worlds you've heard about while bein' here. Or tell me about your worlds. I just wanna see if anythin' beats Kieran's Pokémon-world.

To be honest, amazing as everyone's worlds are, I'd rather head back on home to mine first before going hopping back and forth.

That said, my world does seem to be a rarity - no humans at all! Unlike all the other worlds, which are chock-full of those things.

[angellust]

[oh...]

I mean, there ain't nothin' wrong with wantin' t'go back home. So, more power to ya!

But, uh... What are you s'pposed t'be?

[sos_pilot]

[ An amused little chuckle. ]

A duck, as matter of fact. Name's Della!

[Kieran can't help the goofy smile on his face.]

You really like my world that much, huh Mr. Angel?

[angellust]

[yaaaay it's his buddy!]

Yeah, I do! It sounds fun.

[a beat]

How're ya gettin' along here?

[ohwowzers]

Heheh, well maybe someday I can show it to ya!

[He has no idea how, but maybe someday? Angel's a friend, after all!]

I'm doin' alright! Especially since I got some more'a my Pokemon here with me!

[ Hawks is surprised by the question but he laughs a little bit. ]

I dunno, this world itself is pretty amazing, don't you think?

[angellust]

[hello!]

Sure! It's just a liiiiittle too wet for me, though, yanno? Like, I don't mind it, i'm havin' fun here. But it's a bit hard t'get from place t'place without wings, or somethin'.

[velocityraptor]

[ Hawks looks amused. ]

You got me there. [ He's such a cheater with his wings. ] I'd fly less if standing on a boat wasn't so weird, but most people don't mind it.

[bountyfull]

I dunno about other worlds but this one has been fun to learn about.

[ he hums out a thoughtful sound ]

What about where you're from?

[angellust]

[haaaa, well Angel figured this question would come up eventually]

Oh, I'm from hell. An' that ain't a figure of speech. Literally, hell.

[it seems wise to clarify that]

[bountyfull]

[ the face he makes is skeptical at best. ]

…Do you mean from the Bible?

[Don't mind the inside shot of Cosmo Conservatory's medical building- or the weird goat-caterpillar cradled in one arm as it's being... brushed.

He was aiming for voice, but with how much the creature had demanded the brushing to no stop- well.]

I can share more about Pokémon, if you are interested; young Kieran is from the same world I am, we simply come from different regions.

One of my early projects was creating a physical pokédex that could be shared here for those interested, and quite a few of the plush I make outside of those for the Cosmo Conservatory are based on pokémon as well.

[angellust]

[who is talking to him? the, uh... the creature? no, wait! Angel sees a hand and a brush. but he's looking very closely at the video]

A pokey-dex... I think Kieran started showin' me one of those. It had pictures of all the little guys inside, right? Yer just... makin' them for others?

[fractales]

I will admit it is far more of the old fashioned design- a paper notebook, simply due to the fact I do not have images of all known pokémon on hand. It was far easier to sketch them in detail on paper and write out the information.

[Turo could be seen leaning back, pausing the brushing as the 'goat' creature huffed a little and- well, sure was something that came into view, handing him one of the physical copies in hand as he sat back up and--

Ah. A little wave as he chuckled.]

If I am able to get my hands on my Rotomphone from home, I may be able to make a digital copy far easier that can act as an app for the shellphone, which would have actual pictures. Still, this one is very much available for curiosity's sake.

I suppose a world where some people are born with a superpower. It means they get to be heroes and save others.

[angellust]

oh i just heard about one like that
kinda weird but i can understand how it'd be appealing to others

[scooba]

Is it really kind of weird?

I thought it would be nice to be a superhero and help people.

[octoblot]

To be perfectly honest, I haven't given much thought about visiting other worlds as much as I have been trying to come up with some kind of solution that would allow me to return to my own world first.

[Yes, boring answer, he knows.]

As for my world, it is not that dissimilar to this one, at least in terms of the types of people that can be found in it: humans, merfolk, beastmen, fae, and so on. I currently attend Night Raven College in order to study to become a great mage like that of the Great Seven that are spoken of as the most legendary mages our world has to offer.

[angellust]

[this guy... sounds pretty pretentious, not going to lie]

So... ya do magic?

[Ranma slides in like OP after a million years cause they just saw this shhhhh appears on screen, hanging upside down from a tree branch with his arms positioned behind his head, resting his phone on his chest. He was in the middle of doing some inverted crunches by the time he heard Angel's network post.]

I've heard plenty 'round here. One of 'em sounds like something straight outta comic book, with superheroes and 'Quirks' as 'zuku called them. I'd probably visit that one, get into a good fight while I'm there and help people out.

[Martial artist duty and principles and all that. That, and while he'd never openly admit it because emotional vulnerability's gross, he kinda sorta really misses the guys that were once here. They were chill.]

That Pokémon world doesn't sound half bad either. [He's not saying that because Angel mentioned there being no cats... Okay, that's like a quarter of it. From what he's experienced and heard from word of mouth, they'd give him a challenge.]

My world's something, lemme tell you. It's got guys and girls nearly as good as me at fighting. [... It's a compliment? Tone-deaf one, but a compliment nonetheless.] Outside that, it's pretty normal... 'sides the monsters, spirits and magic crap.

[Just. Tacked on the end as an addendum.]

[angellust]

[hey, welcome aboard!]

That's, like, the second time someone's mentioned they'd wanna go to super hero land. Interesting.

[he taps his long fingers against his chin]

I dunno if monsters hanging out in worlds are normal, though, yanno? There ain't any of those in my world.

[he's not counting in hell, at least]
