[ Hey look, it's another teenager! A totally and completely normal teenager that has managed to scrounge up some clothes that aren't just whatever the hell he was wearing under his suit. Looks like a hoodie and some kind of shirt that looks like it might be nerdy? He tried for a nerdy aesthetic, anyway, which is hard when he doesn't even know what nerd culture looks like here. He's seated outside in Nova City somewhere, trying to figure out what to do next.

Anyway. He. Waves awkwardly? ]

Hey, um. I'd ask if people really just introduce themselves online like this without making it like "Welcome to My Star Wars Vlog And/Or Podcast" but I went back and looked at a bunch of posts and I guess that's exactly what it is? Which is cool. But weird? I'm weirded out.

[ Focus, Peter. Maybe breathe a little. He looks incredibly awkward, which is still only 50% of the Awkward Peter Parker Experience. ]

Anyway, I'm Peter Parker! I just got here like. A couple hours ago? And I have one really super important question.

[ Pause. Try not to look too excited. Look incredibly excited. ]

Did I see something about Pokémon? Like, actual physical Pokémon? Is that real or is this some super convincing AR thing? Because I'm down with both but if it's the first kind I am literally going to explode.

[That gets an inquisitively look from her.]

Yes, but also no? They do get grumpy if you bully them though.

[Please don't bully the chickens. They just want to hop in peace.]

[made_up_names]

[ He's not a chicken bully, okay. Who do you think he is. ]

Well. Sure. That seems like a normal thing for chickens to do.

[tsoukalos_disciple]

Do you have evil cuccos back home?

[That's the only reason someone would ask that sort of question, right?]

[made_up_names]

Not ... exactly? I was just reminded of a video game I used to play.

[tsoukalos_disciple]

A...video game?

[Well, at least she learned enough to know she's looking at a video call. But otherwise...]

Romani doesn't understand. What's a video game?

[made_up_names]

It's - uh. A game? That you can play on a computer or your phone or a console.

[tsoukalos_disciple]

[She only understands the phone and games, sadly. Everything else went over her head. But the idea of evil chickens has her interested and concern, so a Pandora's Box was probably opened now. The only way to save yourself is to change the subject.]

Oh, okay. So a video game has evil cuccos? Cuccos shouldn't be evil. Why are they evil?

[made_up_names]

I think it's to discourage you from hitting them. More like self defense.

[tsoukalos_disciple]

Just like real cuccos!

[That seems to satisfy her curiosity. Million question crises averted.]

By the way... Romani is on the look-out for a Pokémon for someone that looks like a big button with big round nose. Romani is told it's called a "Dig Let." Have you seen one?
