[video - route 29, backdated to 1/4. action responses welcome too!]

[The video clicks on to the darkened, zoomed in face of a Bunnelby. It sniffs at the PokeGear and its sudden light and noises, then quickly loses interest. As it moves on, daylight filters in and illuminates the contents of a bag, all being jostled as the Pokemon rummages around.

This goes on for a minute or two before the bag sags, revealing some of the surrounding forest and... a giant Eevee?

No, actually... It's a person wearing an Eevee kigurumi over the outside of their clothes, like an animal skin. The kid is silent and stern-faced, in the stalking stance of a predator as he gets closer and closer... and finally, after crouching, he pounces.

Quite a few things happen in the next span of two seconds. The Gear gets thrown out into the snow as the boy lands, and the Bunnelby screams in surprise. The bark of a Rockruff sounds off furiously in tandem. There's the loud, wet splat of a Mud-Slap hitting true, and a pained grunt from the victim.

Upside down, the camera still films the Bunnelby sprinting back off into the trees, and the boy now caked in mud heaves a sigh as he starts to scrape the dirt from his eyes and mouth.]



[action - cherrygrove, forward-dated to 1/6]

[After nightfall, it may be considered wise for most humans in Cherrygrove to be indoors and bundled up. After all, the combination of snow and ocean air only serves to exacerbate the cold.

It seems, though, that isn't the case for one person. A skinny teenaged boy in tattered clothing and his Rockruff shadow slink through the quiet town, avoiding streetlamps, windows, and doorways. When things catch his attention -- an odd machine, a distant noise -- he pauses to stare and listen and sniff, but ultimately keeps moving. When he stays still, the chill really sets in, and he can't afford to get much colder.

Like a stray dog, he follows his nose to the back entrances of what few restaurants there are and starts picking through the trash. His face is curious, seemingly ignorant to the fact that it's... you know. Trash.]

[The feed starts with the image of a handsome fellow with an amiable expression and a strange case of red-green heterochromia humming in thought as he picks around the buttons and plays with the options. He's not totally inept with the Gear, but he's obviously still learning. He doesn't seem the tiniest bit upset about it though. After awhile, he begins to talk in an offhanded manner, almost as if he's just making comments to himself.]

I have some experience with magic mirrors, and while the one I have at home is very useful, I have to say, I prefer this model. Being able to contact someone from any distance, and exchange words both ways? Bloody brilliant.

Mortals really have come up with some incredible adaptations to their environment since Prometheus first smuggled fire into their world. And now I understand why they've put in so much effort: What an endless string of inconveniences being mortal is! The constant eating and drinking, wasting so many hours a day sleeping, having to have clothes for so many different occasions and types of weather, how much care you have to take to not get injured or sick, other processes I find completely unspeakable... They really need all of these inventions, or else they'd not have the time to do anything except perpetuate their own existence!

But I'll try not to complain too much. It's still been an adventure. I get to enjoy something new every day, which is far more than I can say for home. And the local fauna is fascinating. Speaking of-- Here, pup!

[A Houndour bulls its way under Zag's arm and into view of the camera, and he gives it an affectionate hug.]

Look at this thing! I love the bone accessories. A creature after my own tastes. A bit small, and only one head, but it would be unfair to ask every dog to live up to Cerberus' standards. We're getting along famously. Still not sure of a name, but we'll get there.

One final note: Aside from the day-to-day struggles of preventing oneself from expiring, what does one do around here? Is there some kind of cultural expectation when it comes to finding a vocation? I do know I need to get some kind of job, but I'm foggy on the particulars. Oh, and my thanks in advance for any advice.
