[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...]

I can't blame you. While I've been curious about competitive battling and being thinking about trying out some gyms, I worry about hurting my children.
[... He's talking about his Pokemon.]
Actually about that! As it turns out you can't die in this dimension! If you're close to death, you will just wake up back at at Pokemon Center fully healed.
Of course I've only had other people say this to me, so I don't know if their words hold any water, but I guess you won't have to worry about dying from hypothermia! Just the effects of it.
no subject
[THAT IS TERRIBLE NEWS. AWFUL, HORRIBLE NEWS.]
No offense, but I'm not really feelin' being the one to test that theory out.
no subject
... "Pete"?
[??? He didn't tell you his name and also it's not Pete??? Is this some psychic who can predict names just by looking at them without mind reading?]
It's a shame you don't have a travel partner with you. It helped me a lot when I woke up here.
Oh! Maybe you can see if your Pokemon would want to cuddle you.
no subject
[Jeez, some people are just SO uncultured.]
Uh, I dunno if you're implying that I'm always this fat, but I'm kinda cuddling for my life as we speak.
[Aaaand that's his partner's cue to poke her head out and smile for the feed. Yes, hello! She is the cuddle pal!]
no subject
Oh hey! That's because I am one!
... Well, technically I'm not the one you're thinking of right now. I'm Ray, but the other day I somehow bodyswapped with Peter. Nice to meetcha!
[More importantly-CUTE GIRL]
She's adorable! Well I'm glad you got someone with you. But I guess if you want another option and you're not too far into the route, there is a ship you can rest in that has a warm bed and food provided to you.
no subject
Yup, she's a cutie all right. [He rubs her head affectionately, but at the same time tries to push her back into her temporary jacket home. It's hard to notice right away, but the longer she peeks out, the more she seems to shiver. Not a fan of the cold, nope.] Just wish they would've given her a coat too, cheap bastards...
[Speaking of.]
So this ship... it cost anything?
no subject
I know, right? I'm lucky in that Jackie doesn't get cold all that often but even a scarf would have been nice if they're going to drag them out in freezing weather.
[>:( The NERVE of this dimension!]
About 2,000 P, I think? You should have more than enough for it, though!
no subject
I mean, a little exercise won't hurt...
[A whole three days of it and he'll have legs of steel! Yeah, haha...sounds great...]
What kinda asshole charges up the butt just so a guy can stay warm...?
no subject
Normally most cruises you gotta pay for, but I do agree there should be some housing on the route. Or at least more blankets.
[Ray pauses a moment.]
Just wait until after you get past Cherrygrove. It took Egon an I about a week to get to the next city after that!
no subject
I hate this planet.
no subject
Aww, I think this planet's great! And if you don't wanna trek out in the weather, Cherrygrove seems like a nice town to stay in too! I only stayed there the night, but I hear that there's an amazing spa there! I would have stayed here longer but I wanted to get to Goldenrod as soon as possible.
[And then he kind of fell in love with Violet City and got distracted.]
