[Out of all the horrible things that have happened so far this week, the worst is yet to come. It's some guy and he looks into the feed like everyone just played some sort of huge prank on him. It certainly feels that way, being told he's gotta trek three days in the snow certainly sounds like a joke.

Thankfully it looks like he's hastily slapped on some kind of winter outfit, his giant hair sticking out from under the hat that barely wants to stay on. From what can be seen of his jacket, it appears to stick out unnaturally and even wiggle about, probably the pokémon he was given. Anything to stay warm.]

Hey, sooo, I know you're all havin' a really fun time right now, but I'm freezing my ass off and my communicator ain't working. So I'm using this one. Anyway, quick question, what kinda planet invents the video phone and not something like, I dunno...a bus?

[Dandy feels like this is an incredibly valid question.]

If you find one good lookin' corpse, don't touch my wallet, I swear to-- [But before he can continue, the wiggling intensifies and Dandy's face suddenly breaks out in all smiles, an extreme contrast to the face he was just making. He laughs like an idiot and falls to his knees, the video shaking and losing focus in the process.] NO! S-STOP!! That...that tickles...!!

[And it cuts...]

You know, that's a pretty accurate way to look at things. While I've never really had a dog myself, I can't say they've ever caused me trouble, either.

[It's the foxes that are tricky, really. But that's a digression.]

I'm sorry I can't be of much help, when you're all the way out there in the snow...

[adandyinspace]

Yeah, it sucks. And now that I know people have been here for a long ass time, it's starting to piss me off that no one's done anything about it yet.

But no, it's cool, I love not feeling half of my own body. I swear to god if I make it out of here, I am SO cashing in and making my own damn hotel.

[He's mostly speaking out of anger, but now that he thinks about it, that's not really a bad idea... If the ferry can swindle people out of their money, why can't he?!]

[cyan_maid]

I mean, that's a fairly decent idea, if you can get the stuff you need to build an inn along a route or something. It'd certainly give you a bunch of business.

[But as for remedying the current problem...]

It'll take some time, but I could probably send you some things via Pidgey Post? At least to make the trip to Cherrygrove less lousy...

[adandyinspace]

[As adorable as "Pidgey Post" sounds, Dandy can't stop himself from squinting.]

...So what's the catch?

[No one just gives stuff away for free.]

[cyan_maid]

...Uh...you don't freeze to death?

[adandyinspace]

[Suspicion intensifies.]

I'm not gonna owe you some kinda life debt, am I?
