_{[So, you know what sucks about cold weather? Not having time to adjust to it after being somewhere warm. Olympus wasn't the hottest of worlds, but it was certainly better than Agrabah and definitely better than the chill he felt in this world.

He could easily just pull his hood up over his head too, but when the video switches on it's clear he can't do that thanks to the Lotad riding shotgun in said hood and peering over his shoulder with wide, unblinking eyes.]

Okay, I thiiiink it's recording...?}

This probably sounds cliche, but does anyone know where I am? I didn't have a chance to ask the chick in the house before she pretty much gave me the boot, and I know I didn't fall asleep in some stranger's house 'cause these buildings aren't Greek. There's only one other person here but I think she's just as lost as I am too, so that's out.

_{[The Lotad behind him makes a strange sort of belching noise, and he peeks back over his shoulder for a moment.]}

Oh! Yeah! Does anyone know what this thing is? It's cute, but I don't think I can bring it back home to the castle with me.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Experience, my man. That's all it takes to get them.

[Of which Lance has none.]

Didn't have pizza joints? Man, I feel you. I spent months planet hopping and not one of those places heard of garlic knots, much less pizza. It was a dark era, let me tell you. At least the space girls were hot.

[The dudes too.]

Does this place have gyros, too? They're probably nowhere near as good as the ones I could get in Thebes but beggars can't be choosers, yeah?

_{[There's nothing better than a gyro straight from Greece itself, okay? He'll throw down over those gyros any day.]}

Thebes? Is that in Greece? If so, probably not, but they got gyros and they taste pretty good to me. Better than starving anyway.

[Of course, he says that, but Lance hasn't even attempted to try and find Cuban food here. No one will ever come close to his mom's and grandma's.]

Yeah! It's pretty old, but it's a good old.

_{[It's also a nice "vacation" spot and he may or may not have had a few Choice Spots picked out to take naps at or hang out with the locals.]}

They're okay for the animals too, right? 'Cause I don't think I got any other food in my backpack for it.

[Do the locals include girls? Lance would expect Greek girls to be hot. And probably wear flowy robes with one shoulder showing and be all sexy or some dumb shit like that.]

I mean, sure, some of them eat the same things we eat, but they make special Pokemon food for them. Like Pokeberries, Poffins, Pokepuffs. Just be careful giving them any coffee or stuff with caffeine in it. Some of them are already hyper enough.

I think coffee might be an improvement for this guy... _{[He gives it a little poke to its cheek, and it simply sticks its tongue out in response. Pbbbbbt!]} The most I've seen him move so far is when this chick I met showed me the one she got and he was... hopping at it. Sorta.

_{[He does try to make a note of that list though - poffins and puffs. It's something to look out for in the nearest store.]}

Is there anything I should avoid giving him like... I dunno, can they have chocolate? Or are they like dogs?

Maybe he's just one chill ass dude. Be glad he ain't beating you up or stealing your wallet or something.

[Speaking from experience, Lance?]

Well... there are dog Pokemon, but I don't know? I mean, I guess they don't need chocolate to begin with so not giving it to them won't actually be a problem. Probably better to ask any of the Nurse Joys.

Puh-lease, I'd like to see anything steal something I don't have!

_{[DEMYX DO NOT CARRY LOOSE MONEY IN YOUR POCKETS. DO. NOT.]}

S'that what they're called? The monster nurses someone told me about? With the pink monsters?

[He's going to carry loose money in his pocket, isn't he?]

Yeah, that's them. All of them are named Joy and they all look alike for some reason. They're just like the cops, except they're all named Jenny and they look alike too. It's really frickin' weird.

_{[Does the little balls of Munny he has from his world count?]}

...Do you think they're clones? They sound like clones straight out of a comic or something.

[Yeah, sure, why not?]

Probably. I mean, they all sound exactly the same too. I tried to ask one of them out and she just acted like she didn't hear me. Just kept repeating how she would heal my Pokemon like she was programmed to say it.

[Somewhere under that perfectly conditioned mop on top of Lance's head, a lightbulb flickers to life.]

Androids. I bet they're androids.

If they're androids, does that mean there's a warehouse full of old ones? Or new ones ready in case one breaks?

_{[Has anyone tried to stake out the Pokecenters to see if they act funny? H m m m.]}

Actually, if that's the case I wonder who made 'em...
