002 [VOICE/TEXT]
[VOICE]
[It seems as though someone's Pokegear is malfunctioning! Well it's not like that never happens, right? The audio feed seems to be cutting in and out. The first time it cuts in, it's possible to hear the sound of crumbling rock and the sound of someone who may or may not have just sprained his ankle. Also a... Wooper...
...the second time it cuts in, though, a highly annoyed (and somewhat pained) voice can be heard.]
-even believe this. This place is such a-
[And, possibly as a convenient censor, the feed cuts off again, though it resumes fairly quickly.]
-had such bad luck. This never would have happened-
[aaaand it cuts out again. Of course, a moment or so after that point, it switches to text.]
[TEXT]
I would presume that at least someone here has experience with the Ruins of Alph, so I want to know any important details. Has the location been mapped out to any degree? I have already come to the conclusion that the puzzles are to be approached with caution, but if they have any other properties, I'd certainly like to hear about them.
[...GOD, HE HAS NO IDEA, DOES HE...]

...it sounds as though this area is more difficult to navigate than you assumed.
[His tone is admittedly somewhere between facepalming and "Oh god, I told you so," but we're not getting into that right now.]
[Voice]
[LOOK OKAY THE BOOBY TRAPS SHOULD HAVE BEEN BEFORE THE PUZZLES
THAT'S JUST HOW THESE THINGS GO!!
WHO DESIGNED THESE RUINS]
...Nevertheless, it's progress. There appears to be a tunnel underneath the main room, though for obvious reasons I don't feel particularly inclined to go through it.
[Voice]
HE JUST KNOWS ENOUGH TO ASSUME THAT EVERYTHING HERE IS GOING TO BE RIDICULOUSLY BACKWARDS BECAUSE NOTHING IN THIS WORLD SO FAR HASN'T BEEN RIDICULOUSLY BACKWARDS
MAYBE YOU'RE GETTING CLOSER TO THE...WHATEVER IT IS WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE FINDING, HENCE THE BOOBYTRAPS
HE JUST DOESN'T KNOW, MAN]
Are you at least in one piece still? There were some...ah, unfortunate sounds over the system earlier.
[Voice]
GODDAMNIT]
...these things...!
-well, it's nothing serious, but I believe I may have sprained my ankle.
[Voice]
...shall I try to find you, then? What sequence did you follow?
[Make him do this blind and so help him, Kayneth]
[Voice--->Video]
I completed the first puzzle. When you finish it, it should resemble... oh, give me a minute-
[...no, he has no fucking idea what that thing resembled, so he pauses to take out a notepad and sketch out something that, if he were more up on his Pokemon, he would have recognized as the underside of a Kabuto and then flip on the video feed]
Something like this.
[Voice → Action]
As it stands, if you'd pointed out that it resembles the underside of a Kabuto, that likely wouldn't have gotten you very far, because to be blunt Tokiomi is experiencing a fair amount of "lol what's a Kabuto" himself.]
...give me a moment, then.
[Okay, this shouldn't be too difficult, honestly, especially with Kayneth more or less providing the GOOD LORD WHAT THE HELL IS THE FLOOR IN THIS PLACE]
............
[You don't mind if he breaks that composure and elegance for a second there, do you? Because whatever just left his mouth under his breath was made of neither.
Ahem. Right.]
That was ridiculous. Completely ridiculous.
[Action]
all of them
...and it's alright, this really doesn't deserve elegance or composure]
What, did you think it would be any different? At least you were warned.
[Action]
[It's a bit hard to tell whether that's sarcasm or not, bro; no, seriously, screw these floors.]
[Action]
fuck 'em
he is going to track down whoever is responsible for this and murder the shit out of them]
You're not injured, are you?
