one ☹ video (action for new bark town)

[utterlyupbeat]

[the feed flickers on to show a very... unhappy-looking child gazing down at the gear. by contrast, his rather excited!! looking poochyena seems to be watching the screen with great interest.]Uhm. Okay. I have a lot of questions. And I think I've been kidnapped, but I can't find the number for 911 on this

[ action ]

[dnoteworthy]

[Nearby, there'll be a Light looking his way, after seeing that video on the network, realizing that this kid is also a new arrival. Maybe new arrivals turn up in batches...]

I don't think calling 911 would work very well, if at all. [he says, while approaching]

[utterlyupbeat]

[looking up at him, his poochyena wagging its tail at the new arrival.]

I guess that was too much to hope for.

[dnoteworthy]

[a friendly, approachable smile. His Magikarp's in its ball, for that matter.]

An understandable one, nonetheless, considering your apparent age.

[utterlyupbeat]

Well, yeah. ... I don't have the experience for this kind of thing.

[said more factually than to complain; experience or not, he was going to have to deal with it.]

[dnoteworthy]

You'll get used to it, I'm sure.

[reassuringly. Such a young child. He does wonder how young the people who are brought here can get...]

[utterlyupbeat]

[well, this guy does seem nice, at least. not that that's stopped sergio from being negative nancy before.]

I'll have to, even if I don't want to.

[dnoteworthy]

Looks like it. Do you think you'll want any company while you get used to things? [he doesn't mind a possible hindrance... at least this child's pokemon might be able to help balance things out, considering what he has for a starter himself.]

[utterlyupbeat]

[blink...]

To... travel with?

[dnoteworthy]

For a while, perhaps.

[he's aware what he's proposing much sound a little dodgy, but he really couldn't be bothered to word it better]

Both of us are new here, and it might be advisable to move in a group for the time being.

[utterlyupbeat]

[while normally his stranger danger would go off, he had been recommended to travel with someone else. plus, he didn't want to face any bears of dubious existence on his own.]

...

Okay. I'm Sergio.

[his poochyena barks!] ... And this is my... Poochyena. [that's what it was called, right?]

[dnoteworthy]

[he's patient, and simply waits for Sergio to decide, understanding fully that it might be dangerous to randomly follow a stranger like this.]

Sergio and Poochyena, then. Nice to meet you both. [as friendly a smile as ever] I'm Light. And this -- [he lets his Magikarp out for a brief moment, not eager to let her die of asphyxiation, to introduce her quickly, before returning her to her ball.] -- is Euphrates.

((ooc: Already made an earlier post of Light being on Route 29 itself-- whoops! Care to have Sergio tag in there later on?))

[utterlyupbeat]

[... fish.]

... Yours is a fish?

[ that's totally cool! i'll go ahead and do that

[dnoteworthy]

[Yep. Fish.]

Yes, that's right. [said as if there was nothing wrong with that whatsoever] While that's inconvenient in many ways I'm sure I'll just catch something else to compliment her.

((ooc: Sure!))

[utterlyupbeat]

[well, he did at least learn ... kind of the basics, so he knows what catching is, but...]

... I think one would be enough for me.

[ \o/! ]

[dnoteworthy]

[he would have given the child a small lecture on how that would be a problem eventually, but given that he hasn't been here long himself, any advice would probably not have the impact it would have, if he had been here longer.]

You might want to reconsider that, but no harm having that thinking for now, I suppose.

[He also does notice that Sergio doesn't really take well to that upbeat nature of his pup.]

[utterlyupbeat]

If I get used to things, maybe.

[despite his insistence that he'll have to deal with the way things are, he sounds skeptical.]
