[ The ever familiar New Bark Town can be seen in the background when the feed starts, though the only signs of a person using the 'Gear is a shoulder and the corner of a hat. The image wobbles a little, and the scenery is obviously moving as whoever this poor, poor newbie is makes their way towards Route 29.You know, I don't think I've ever seen

Hi!

[Takes a deep breath and puts on splainy face]

Unfortunately we're stuck here. I don't know by what creepy voodoo magic, but we're stuck. Basically the whole idea of this place is to take the creature you got and battle and make it grow levels and stuff so it gets stronger and evolves. And you can collect gym badges by leaders in certain citys.

So what kind of Poekee did you get, huh!?

...

[ Have a stare, Yuffie. Then he gives you a thumbs up. ]

Excellent, hi. That was a better explanation than I expected. I guess I'll just... keep heading for the next town then, and hopefully get out of this weather.

[ He glances up at that question, tipping his hat back to reveal the Meowth on his head. ]

The thing says she's a Meowth, but I named her Joséphine.

[usedninjathief]

[Satisfied smile. She has done her job then.o7]

People kinda just show up like once a week, so explanations get tossed around a lot. Heading for the next town is really all you can do at this point. There is nothing in New Bark. The place is a tooootal drag.

Aww. I usully think Meowth's are kinda weird, but Joséphine is a pretty name. Hee!

[withoutanarmy]

Yeah I noticed that after I was kicked out of the house I woke up in. Everybody just kept repeating the same thing over and over again. Not much there, in help or entertainment.

[ Joséphine meows at Yuffie, moving forward on Napoleon's head and pushing down his bangs to get a better look while obstructing his view. ]

Ah-- thanks. It was either that or Marie Louise, but I have a friend named Marie and that would have been weird.

[Yuffie waves at Joséphine laughing a little. Poekees can be adorable.]

Yeah, you run into the actual peeps that live in Johto, and they're pretty kooky. They have, like, programmed responses, or something. It's almost creepy.

Ya KNOW! I always thought it was kinda weird to name Poekees after people you actually know! A lot of people do that though. Mine, of course have completely original names. [Just don't ask what they are.]

[withoutanarmy]

Nyaaaaa~ [ Joséphine doesn't complain when Napoleon pries her from his face, putting his hat back on and settling her in the crook of his arm so he can see again. ]

Kooky is one way of putting it, that's for sure. But it's definitely creepy, and I'm kinda glad to be out of New Bark now. At least in other places I'll see actual people.

Oh yeah? [ Technically his original's first wife was Joséphine, but to this Napoleon it's a historical thing. And yes, he's asking what the names are. ]

[usedninjathief]

Heh, yeah. You'll find lots of people from lotsa different places. And time frames I hear. You might even find clones running around! I have a friend, and there's TWO of her here! It's SUPER weird. [Oh the irony of that statement.]

Yeah! I have-- [She ticks them off on her fingers as she names them off. You better prepare yourself for her EXTREME originality Napoleon. She's about to blow your mind.]

Sneezey, the Sneasal.
Ratman, the, uh, accidentally female Rattata, heh.
ZuZu, the Zubat
Blizzara, the Snowthing
Leafy, the Chika
aaaaand Creepy, the creepy bugthing I got for krissmiss.

[ ... totally laughs at that, though it's half-forced. Ah, he's already run into a clone of himself and that ended with him getting stabbed in the thigh with his own sword. ] You're actually talking to a genetic clone.

[ But going quiet at the names, and he tries not to honestly laugh/make a face. ]

Poor Ratman.
