Once upon a time...
[ For the residents of Märchenstraße, and all the land surrounding it, the eighth of December was a day to look forward to. Looking at it from an outside perspective, strangers and travelers could easily assume it to be a holiday. At the very least, a day for a festival, if a modest one. A day that shopkeeps spent all morning preparing for, that all manner of creatures spent days traveling to the city to witness. They'd heard the talk that passed around, the rumors from those still left. But would it work? No one knew for sure, no matter how confident the stories seemed to be. But hope was very quickly becoming all they had left.
They had decorated the whole town. Streamers, banners, wreathes and garland made of autumn flowers, plus whatever the Fairy Godmother had cooked up. Oh, she was just giddy. No skepticism could be spoken around her, not if you wanted to escape the wrath of her wand! Rumor had it that she had caught wind of a few piglets squealing about the likelihood that their magic would fail, and that they were subsequently transformed into the band of musicians who could be found performing in the park.
Well, at least the music was festive.
Of course, the decorations weren't for the newcomers alone. Autumn was coming to a close in just a few weeks, and Old Man Winter would take the reigns like he did every year, and their weather would turn cold and harsh. The chill was already there, cool and biting when the wind picked up speed. Lady Autumn was much preferred to the citizens of the city with her gentle nature, even if she failed to show up, finishing her work in the orchards instead. That was what they liked about her.
It was mid-morning when Father Time was found outside of his tower, checking one of the numerous pocket watches he kept on his person. "Unnecessary, but comfortable," he called them, and closed the watch again. It was twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and where empty space had been just seconds before, now they were. Sitting on benches, lying in flower patches, scattered about the city and outside of the gates in peaceful slumber. They would awaken to the bells of the clock tower. Some, to many friendly and relieved faces all around them, some to grateful ones carrying gifts of food and clothing and magic, and some to fearful, cautious faces. Regardless of how the town treated them, they would awaken to a celebration of their arrival, and choices to be made, and the books. Each and every one. ]

...And why is he even asking that?] What do you mean? It's me, Mei! We met in the Giant Chasm.
no subject
N shakes his head.] ...I apologize. Though it seems you have met me, I have no recollection of having met you.
no subject
[It's pretty much the only sound that escapes from her for a few minutes. That's weird. Why wouldn't he remember her? Unless this was a cruel joke or an effect of this new city, he wouldn't do this.
She can't help looking a tad hurt at this revelation, while Hibiscus merely eyes N carefully.] But we have met! I'm not joking around! You came and saved me from Kyurem and asked me to help save Reshiram! We're...
We're friends.
no subject
[That word again. Not a word he addressed towards Pokémon, but something another human saw in him. He didn't dislike it... no, he liked it. But to think he didn't even know who this girl was. He had to wonder if the city had affected him, but then--]
If you're talking about Reshiram, he's right here. [N lifts up the case he was carrying in view.] Right now, he is sleeping.
no subject
[She was almost positive that Reshiram wasn't in it's contained form as she peers into the case. This was weird, and things weren't adding up, especially with his reaction to her.
When she speaks, it's still subdued, quiet.] I'm... glad he's still okay.
no subject
[At the mention of it, N looked relieved for the moment but not for long. There were still things he could not comprehend, and this city probably had the answers to their questions.]
...It's strange, is it not? Our stories are similar but yet not the same.
no subject
[That's pretty much when she realizes that she's probably said just a little too much, and pipes down, looking distraught. She shouldn't have said all of that to him, especially when/if he doesn't know her.]
...Sorry. I just this to make sense...
no subject
Is that so... [The displeasure in his face is clear.] There is no end to Team Plasma's foolishness.
But it is alright. I'm sure you must be confused... [He feels bad, he really does.] But as you have already noticed, this city does not function to familiar standards. If we look, we shall surely find an answer!
no subject
Yeah. [Its not very confident at first, but her smile grows again.] Yeah, there must be some explanation! And... sorry I kind is startled you with all this.
no subject
However, I would like to start over again.
[N gives a small smile of his own and holds out his hand. If there was any indication of his apprehension before it was gone now. And he did not seem to want to reveal it anytime soon.]
Pleased to meet you. I am N.
no subject
She takes its, giving him a hearty shake. Well, if its not the same N from home, it wouldn't hurt to make a new friend here at least.] Right! Nice to meet you, N! I'm Mei and this is Hibiscus!
