[There are a few solid things about this world that Nicolas has declared as fact--the neighborhood trainers are pains in the ass, not enough places have nice showers, phones suck, and he's fucking lost. He looks annoyed at best when he finally works to turn on the gear, frowning at it.

Then there's just a few solid moments of him frowning, a Chatot perched on his shoulder chirping away, as he tries to work it. He just looks confused.

And then abruptly, the image disappears. (He finally figured out how to text. Yippee.)]

how do you leave tihs place?

i have
things to do
at home

where the exit
?

who's bird is this
it wild?

[It looks terrible. But you know what? Typing is enough of a pain. But to Nic, it'll do.

For anyone in New Bark Town, he stands there, staring with a dull look at the gear. It's a little odd, this tall, with a tiny kid's backpack on one shoulder. He feels almost like a dad being here... looking around as if trying to decide where to go first.]

[...Well, at least it's to the point.

And you know what, she'll leave off the obnoxious neon font today, buddy, just for you.]

No one's figured out how to leave yet, and if you're looking for a bright red exit sign at the end of the tunnel we haven't found one.

And I'm pretty sure we've all got stuff to do, so join the club.

Bird's yours, though. Not wild. It'll follow you around if you try to ditch it.

[Thanks for the easy-on-the-eyes gibberish talk, kid. It takes a while for Nic to reply, as he spends a few minutes just... rereading. And he promptly feels a need to punch Worick; whether he caused it or not it would at least make him feel better.]

so what am i suposed to do now? why is anyone here??

[fatalissimo]

[Hey, there are times for pink font and then there are times when people just kind of wander in from nowhere, so.]

Figure that last one out and I'm pretty sure half the people here will want to kiss you. We've got no damn idea.

I mean, hey, at least we're all in this together. Or something stupid like that.

[ferino]

[Ah, so the newbie special. Nice, nice.]

then what do we do here?

is the bird food

[fatalissimo]

[...dude.]

Try it if you want, but that bird can probably kick your ass.

You know Pokémon at all? Go catch monsters and raise 'em into your own little team of best friends and/or asskicking squad, also supposedly go on an adventure or something. Pretty sure the games had everyone trying to beat the bad guys, but they don't show themselves too much around here nowadays.

So just...raise your bird and use it to catch other stuff, I guess. Have fun wandering through the woods for days. Touch some grass if you haven't done that lately?

[ferino]

[Poke-a-what.]

what? but its just a bird

Are there bad guys here? that we fight with these things??

whats wrong with the grass

youve been here a long time right
