[Well, there’s definitely some kind of fiddling going on here from someone who doesn’t seem to know how to operate these things… but hey, it focused eventually, right? Well, anyway, right now there’s a rather imposing looking man standing on Route 29, who seem completely unfazed by by both the situation at hand and the fact that it is snowing pretty damn hard.

There is also a bird made of swords chilling in the background, holy shit. ...'chilling' is meant kind of literally, there's snow piling up on that thing. ...although if it minds it's not really giving any indication that it does.]

This device seems to be working, so let me cut to the chase. I’ve spoken to several people who seem to live here, and they seem to be quite capable of telling me about this place-and it’s definitely one hell of a place they’ve got here, I’ll grant them that!

>[Well, hey, at least someone’s taking this well! He does serious up a bit for the next bit of conversation, though.]

However, I’m not entirely clear on why I’m here-although, I do have some ideas. I assume that at least one of you will be able to give me a decent explanation without eventually starting to repeat everything that they just said.

I'm not particularly concerned about that, although it's rather understandable why one would be.

[he's probably not going to elaborate on that unless pressed.

...especially given the subject change]

It's a rather interesting creature, isn't it? I've never quite seen anything like it before.

[...that was alive and seemed to be doing rather well for itself instead of being some kind of horrible experiment, anyway.]

[[She'll notice the oddity in what he's saying, but she won't press him; it's nice to talk to someone, so she'd rather keep the conversation positive.

She will file that little nugget away for potential further usage, though!]]

Ah, I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself; I'm Emmy Altava. I also have a Pokemon!

[[And here is Machop, waving hello!]]

I wish I could be of more help, but I can tell you that if that bird was with you from when you arrived here, you have nothing to fear from it! It's your partner!

[it's kind of an awkward subject...]

Well, I assumed that if it had any intentions of attacking me it would have done so already.

[Then again, it's hard to tell what birds are thinking in general. It does seem very quiet.]

Most people here have Pokemon, then, don't they?

[snapandscoot.livejournal.com]

[[...oh don't be like that, you're turning this into a puzzle]]

It seems to have taken quite a shine to you! But yes, from what I've seen, most people tend to have a Pokemon or two.

I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name, Mr...?

[what if he likes being a mystery wrapped in a puzzle wrapped in an enigma. what about that huh.

anyway, that's interesting... and it seems to be all about fighting, so...


oh man.]

King Bradley. And you are?

[snapandscoot.livejournal.com]

[[that sounds like a challenge

...omg think of the picarats]]

You're a King?

[notrueking.livejournal.com]

Ah, actually-King is my name. Though, I am the leader of the country I'm from. I didn't really bring it up, though-I rather doubt it matters here.

[snapandscoot.livejournal.com]

[[....oh, well that's

wow]]

I...I see! Well, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Mr Bradley! What country are you from?

I'm afraid you don't look very familiar, but...I haven't been keeping up with international news too much, lately.

[[it's not a lie if she's just trying to be polite, right]]

[notrueking.livejournal.com]

Amestris. I'm... not entirely sure if you would have heard of it-from what I've heard, we're all from different worlds.

[snapandscoot.livejournal.com]

Oh that's right...well, I hope your country will be alright without you.

[[She's still not entirely sure if she trusts you, but she's being sincere.]]

From what I've heard, the best place to head to is Goldenrod City; apparently that's where most people seem to be located. Maybe head there if you're not sure what to do!

[notrueking.livejournal.com]

[.........it'll probably be better off without him tbh......]

Ah, I seem to remember seeing that on the map. I'll do just that, then. Thank you, Miss...?

[snapandscoot.livejournal.com]

Altava; Emmy Altava! It's lovely to meet you, Mr Bradley. Good luck getting to Goldenrod; perhaps I'll meet you on the way.

[[....and good luck with the whole....country thing

orz]]

[notrueking.livejournal.com]

And good luck to you too, Miss Altava. I can't say if we will meet or not, but what happens happens, eh?
