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

[And there's a former hedgehog chilling on the other end. Of course, Johto discriminates against hedgehogs or something, so he just looks like a teen with spiky, blue hair.]

Don't worry, kid. This place might be kinda weird at first, but it's not so bad! Plus, you get a way cool monster.

[utterlyupbeat]

Monster? ... You mean the dog?

[waypastcool]

Yeah! I'm not talkin' about the spooky kinda monsters. They're just a little different from regular dogs and stuff.

[Though with the way his Gengar pops up on screen, spooky is... definitely a good description for some of them.]

[utterlyupbeat]

They kind of look like something from a fantasy book...

[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.

[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.]
