_{[The feed opens on a man's face very close to the screen. His eyes flick between the lens and the little in-picture image of himself in his Poke'gear's screen. This man is filthy and his eyes are rimmed with red. He licks his dry lips. He was about to address the entire world after untold years of sheer isolation, this had to be good.]}

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhey.

_{[His voice is gruff and thin. The B-man hasn't quite gotten used how much air he needs in his lungs in order to speak. He opens his mouth to say something else but his attention is swiftly stolen by someone passing in his peripheral vision. He whips his head away takes a good long look at something before turning back to his audience.]}

HEY, HI, HOW'S IT GOIN'? This isn't how I saw my day goin', but I'm not complaining! Who doesn't love a little dimensional slip-up? Especially when it comes with perks. And a guide? What is this, my birthday? Might as well be! I've never been--

_{[He lifts the Trainer's Manual into frame when suddenly his attention starts to drift again, as though he's thinking many thoughts all at once. His chest sort of hurts. Oh. Huh. That's a sexy new sensation!]}

You know what I always say--

_{[Without warning, the man swoons and drops his 'gear. It goes tumbling, landing face-down on the path. The concerned chattering of a Pokemon can be heard from his end of the line. There is some scrambling and the creaking of plastic before the newcomer reappears. He's laying on the ground now, on his side, one leggy kicked up like he meant to do that. Mr. Juice has been saddled with the Bug Maniac's class attire and honestly he's ROCKING those shorts. He's also very winded. A Mimikyu peeks over his middle, one shadowy paw brought to its false mouth in concern.]}

--I always say, when in Rome, do as the Romans! I used to know some Romans, real swell guys. Total party animals! So, my fellow philosophers, what's a guy do to have fun around here?

( holy shit, give her a moment to stop laughing before she actually turns on the camera. okay. )

You catch on quick. But generally there's all kinds of things... travel being the main thing. Wild, I know. If your friend there's up for it, there's also battling? Which is just... really intense sparring matches, honestly. Otherwise, it's pretty much up to you. The cities are like any other. Sometimes there's big events like parties or fairs, though.

_{[He preens a little at the compliment, slicking back his filthy hair.]}

Didn't get where I am now by not rolling with the punches!

[fortuna_tenax]

Where you are now is whisked to another dimension. Does that happen to you often?

[bugbeverage]

Nope!

_{[He answers this with no small amount of pride, puffing himself up as he does so.]}

[fortuna_tenax]

You really do roll with the punches, huh. But that's not a bad thing- this place gets pretty crazy sometimes. I'm assuming people have been filling you in?

[bugbeverage]

Oh, here and there, but I've mostly been getting schooled by this handy dandy guide!

_{[He flashes his Trainer's Manual. There are already half a dozen little paper book marks sticking out of the top.]}

[fortuna_tenax]

Oh, you're really getting a lot out of that thing. I'll be honest, it doesn't quite prepare you for some things... but I'm glad it seems to be helping you a lot.
