Do you think we got this thing working, guys? It looks like it... Ah yes, we've definitely got it now. Hello there, ladies and gentlemen!

[For a moment the journal is swarmed by two pink blobs. Once Duplica says hello they both let out a few cries before backing off. One Ditto decides to stay on the floor, but the other jumps up into Duplica's arms.]

My name is Duplica. I've been here for some time already but I didn't feel like jumping right into using my journal here without first getting a better understanding of how it works. [Otherwise it would be like jumping up on stage without properly rehearsing for a role.] I think I get it now though! Of course, these two were a big help.

Anyway, I was wondering if any of you out there would mind giving me any spare clothes you might have. I'm sorry if that sounds a little strange, it's just I don't want to go and take too much from the clothing store you see.

[If she just went in and took enough clothes to make up all the costumes she had back home then the clothing store might have trouble outfitting anyone for the next few weeks.]

I think that's all there is to say right now, I hope the entire audience was able to catch that. Now Mini-Dit, say goodbye!

[At that, the Ditto that had remained on the floor slides back over to the journal, smothering it in pink again. Ditto transition, fade out!

A little time after addressing the journals, Duplica heads to the clothing store to see if she can find any of her costumes from home that might have shown up recently. Luckily, she's able to pick up this outfit pretty soon into her visit. She continues to look around the rest of the store whilst dressed up as everyone's favourite Pokemon nurse, accompanied by her two Ditto which hop and crawl after her all around the store. If anyone approaches her now she'll attempt to pull off her Nurse Joy impersonation, even if she doesn't have a Chansey to complete the look.]

Mm, you're absolutely right. Luke is indeed very lucky to have such an interesting partner as a part of his team--hopefully he and Zorua have been faring well in Virbank City where they are working on their next movie project... [And of course he hopes Ash and Iris are faring okay as well, since they are likely still back in Virbank City too... ^^;;]

I'm sure he's doing just-- [Actually, hold on a moment.] Aahah, now that I think about it time works differently here and back home now, doesn't it?

[She will have to remember to give the guide another read through when she gets the chance, some of the finer details about this place still escape her.]

When we go home we end up at the same time we were taken from, right? Does... That mean time has stopped for us, or does it rewind, or...?

[Ugh. She's a Ditto Master. Not a Time Master. Who ever thought that at some point she would have to think about the finer points of how time works, of all things.]

[Well, for once, Cilan speaks a little more seriously to explain.] From what I've heard, apparently we will be brought back to the exact point in time that we were at before we arrived here. For our friends and family back at our respective homes, it will be as if we never left.

[But then he frowns and continues on.] However, there still seems to be a few discrepancies for some individuals--a friend could arrive here and have knowledge of events that have yet to take place, or vice-versa. Someone may be from further down the line at a future station, or even farther back in the past at a previous station, if that makes sense. There is also the matter of people that you might be familiar with back at home, but here they have memories of different lives and circumstances, putting them on a set of tracks that are no longer the same and considered only parallel to yours. [Cilan now you're digging a little too deep into train metaphors...] I also have yet to hear if people retain their memories of this place when we arrive back at our appropriate homes and time periods...

[There's a pause of silence now before he sighs.] It can all be rather confusing and hard to sort out--this flavor is quite complicated, more so than others that I've tasted before.

Yes, that makes sense. Or as much sense as being brought to this place is going to make to me.

[Sigh. For all the kind people and other perks there are to being here it can be very confusing when you look a little deeper.

... Train metaphors. This is something she'll have to remember for any futures imitations she does of Cilan.]

I don't think I'll ever be able to properly understand everything that's going on here, but thank you for explaining it all to me Cilan. It looks like I'll be getting off at your station if I ever have any more questions.

[Just wait until you meet Ingo and Emmet on our floor, the train puns and metaphors will flow like water and you'll see why Cilan even knows how to speak in such-length about them...]

Of course. I'll be happy to try to shed some light on things in any way I can...and besides, as complicated as it is, one can't deny that there's something intriguing about the flavors of this place nonetheless.

[Once she finds a Subway Boss coat then she'll break out the train puns too. The entire floor will just be constant talk about trains. ~~No one else will move in. Ever.~~]

Absolutely! There are so many people and new things to try here, I can't wait to become familiar with everything.

[Oh, another question!]

Do you know if there's a stage here?

[~~And what's wrong with having constant talk about trains? It's their loss if they don't want to move in to this awesome floor.~~]

A stage? Hm...I'm sorry, I haven't heard if there is one here or not yet. [Which is a shame because having a stage would be pretty awesome.]

[ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. In fact, they'll probably have a line of people wanting to move in!

Or a line of people trying to move out of the entire building.]

I see. [Maaan.] Looks like I have something to ask about when I next use my journal.
