[This may seem like an accidental broadcast, and in some ways it is, but the person on the other end with the mint-green hair appears to be rather intently focused on the SFC. He's pressing buttons, attempting to understand the device via trial and error. The video goes on and off a couple of times, before eventually coming on and staying on.

Whoever he is, he's every bit the new arrival in appearances, with that mess of hair sopping wet, and his white button down and black undershirt just as damp. Not that he's bothered any. Even the fact that his bangs are hanging in his eyes doesn't stop him from keeping his attention completely on the SFC. Something tall and furry is also wandering around behind him, poking it's snout over his shoulder from time to time to stare at what's in this teenager's hands with intense bright blue eyes.

Eventually text accompanies the video.]

Hello

[Before he can continue type more, though, the creature reaches over with a clawed paw and takes it away from him, making the view shift wildly, and it prompts the teen to speak, though he hardly seems angry.]

Zoroark, give that back. I wasn't finished.

[The creature doesn't speak, but it gives a look to N, and it turns it over so that the video is on his face completely. N's voice can still be heard speaking to him, though.]

Yes, I know, we'll find something to eat later. Taking my things away isn't going to make me go any faster.

[The Zoroark huffs, and as he goes to hand the SFC back the video feed turns off. Oops.]

[action: plaza]

[N has managed to find the towels on his own, but he might still seem a little lost, and he's got a hungry Zoroark that keeps pawing at him even as he tries to get his mass of hair dry. It's an interesting scene to watch, at least?]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[He gives a shrug. It's not that weird to him, but this is a kid who grew up in odd circumstances in a world full of magic.]

Doesn't seem that strange to me. And I don't think it'll seem that weird to other people here. [And then he realizes what he omitted.] Ah, it might not be in the same place as mine.

[He'll look for it later.]

This place brings people from other worlds, right?

That's right. There's a list of foreigners- um, everyone that's here from a different place, on the SFC, if there's anybody you're wondering about.

[Even if Ghetsis was there, N would do everything he could to avoid the man. And he has a feeling his sisters aren't there. They would have found him already, if they were.]

No, there isn't. It's good to know, though.

[He nods, just watching the pokemon with continued curiosity.]

If there's anything else you wanna know, I can try and answer. We don't know everything about Vatheon but I've been here long enough to know the simple things.

[Zoroark isn't doing much, aside from paying attention to the conversation that N is having.]

I found the pamphlet. I don't really have any questions right now.

Okay. If you need anything later you can always send me a message. My name's Fai- my brother sometimes uses that name too, but we're pretty easy to tell apart.

Fai? I'm N, this is Zoroark.

It's nice to meet you both. I hope you like it here, even if it does get a little crazy sometimes.

Crazy?

Well, some of the curses can lead to problems. Or make it easier for people to cause them. But most of the foreigners are nice and just want life here to be calm.

Curses?

[He really only read enough of the pamphlet to get "pulled to another world, no way out."]

Um, every few weeks or so your mark will glow and and something might happen to you. It's almost always different... it might be just that other people don't understand your language anymore, or you might wake up turned into an animal. They only last for a week though.

That's... odd.

[And there isn't much N finds odd, so that's saying something.]

Yeah, I guess it is. You don't really get used to it, but you do kinda learn to go with it.

There's probably no other choice, is there? If we're all stuck here, that is. Going against the formula of this world would probably make people even more miserable.

No choice, but it might not get you every time. It's better not to worry about it.

I see. It's good information to have, though.

[He doesn't say 'thank you' but his tone does slightly imply it.]

[Fai never expects thanks from anyone. He's gotten pretty good at reading people, though, so he can tell N actually does appreciate it.]

Yeah. We just had a big one, so maybe there won't be any for a while. You should find somewhere to stay while it's still quiet.

I was told there was an Inn?

There is, but you can stay at any apartment or house that people aren't already in. It's free too, just like food and clothes.

I think I'll stay at the Inn first. I'm not used to being on my own.
