This is how you use this thing right? I've...never really seen a device like this before. But it seems pretty simple, I guess.

Anyway, my name is Skyler. I just arrived here. I was going to find this place the newcomers sleep in, but I thought that maybe I could learn a little more by asking here.

I was just wondering if anyone had any advice for new arrivals. Thanks.

Uh, bye.

...How are you speaking?

[He asks the important questions. Also, his own mouth doesn't move, so that's a thing.]

[Video]

[dimensionalscream]

[This face. Because you're asking an odd question, Mewtwo...and your mouth doesn't move.] Not to be rude, but I feel as though I should be asking that. Most Pokemon speak with their mouths.

...While there are some species of Pokemon that have the vocal cords necessary to mimic human speech, the amount of Pokemon that have actually been recorded as understanding and using human speech patterns can be counted on one hand.

[And he only has three fingers to boot.]

[Video]

[dimensionalscream]

Mimicking human speech? All Pokemon can talk though.

[Those three fingers make that statement even stranger.]

Did you read the pamplet that you can find upon arriving?

[Fai is not at all reacting to a talking pokemon. He was used to things at this moment in time.]

[dimensionalscream]

Yeah. That's how I knew how to use the smart phone.

[Likewise he won't be reacting to a human, because well, he is one.]

Usually, it gives other little tidbits about what to do as well as the hologram.

Hello!

[Rapunzel seems happy enough as she gives a little wave.]

I don't have much in terms of advice because I haven't been here long.

[dimensionalscream]

[Skyler gives a friendly smile in return.] That's alright. Meeting new people is also a good reason to use a phone from the looks of it.

It is, there are hundreds of people on this thing. It's pretty cool, right?

[ Video ] I won't fourth wall unless you allow it, but I'll assume he only knows Red and Blue anyway

[mortal_son]

[ Peers into the video, nose scrunched. It's. Kind of cute? ]

[ He's curious, but it looks like he's scowling. ] What are you?

[ Video ] Fourth wall away. ^^

[dimensionalscream]

I'm a Chimchar.

[Actually he's a human, but getting into those complications in a new place seems like it's not really needed.]

[ Video ]

[mortal_son]

... Can't say we got those where I'm from.

[ shrugs ]

I just got here myself. But, sounds like some places can get kinda dangerous for a little guy.

[Ted's had some dealings with pokemon. Fake ones, anyway. The notion of a real one, and one that talks at that, has him pleasantly shocked.]

"Goodness, would you happen to be a pokemon? And a scholar or researcher at that?"

[Being interested in onomastics, he makes the guess based off the name.]

As for advice...well, don't go to Everglade. It's a wicked place.

Don't open any subarchways either. They cost too much for too little.

None but those with necklaces like yours have souls, so make sure to order your love properly.

Make sure to enjoy people while you can; they have a bad habit of vanishing on you.

And, in keeping with Genessia's stated aims, be sure to live and demonstrate life to the utmost.

That might do for an upshot, unless you had another inquiry in mind.

[dimensionalscream]

Yeah, I'm a Chimchar. I'm not a scholar or anything, but I am an explorer.

[There are a lot of humans here. He's never seen another before coming here...at least that he can remember.]

So, the Everglades are dangerous, don't use archways, keep my necklace close, and live my life normally? Got it.

But, what do you mean by order my love properly? And people just vanish?

Re: [Video]

[youfool]

Oh, well, looks like you've come to a novel enough land, at least.'

Ah, well, just making sure you love more what you ought to love more and any, uh, necessary corollaries. Some people get the order wrong and wind up treating thigns without souls better than those with them. Often due to sentimentality. It can lead to some very awful results, that disordered love.

Yes, sadly. As suddenly as you've arrived, others can just as suddenly disappear. It's a common cliche, but you'll want to do what you can with who you can while you can.

[Darn, he almost got through one whole reply without getting mildly depressing! But he finds that when newbies ask for advice, the "do not's" are the most important.]

[foxcurls]

[Welp, it's a good think Helgi's uncle isn't here or the planet of the apes jokes would never stop.]

Hi Skyler, I'm Helgi and I'm a little new myself.

So what kind advice were you after? Or was it just general stuff?

[dimensionalscream]

[They may never stop...but they'd all just go over Skyler's head.]

Hello, helgi. General information is fine, I don't know what specifics to ask yet.

[foxcurls]

Okay want to meet up? We can talk while I walk you to the apartments.

[He thought to see a legendary Pokemon were shocking before, but seeing a talking Chimchar in the video?! He knew this city was full of surprises.]

Why hello there. I never expect another Pokemon with a necklace before.

[Video]

[dimensionalscream]

[Skyler's still trying to wrap his head around the idea of Pokemon not being able to talk.]

Are Pokemon something that you don't normally see around here?

Re: [Video]

[megabond]

Well, from what I know, most of the Pokemon living here don't possess their own necklaces.

[And that they are unable to speak like Skyler.]

[Video]

[tiniestnihilist]

Huh. A talking monkey. Don't see that everyday. I got advise for you. Take the money and the free house for the month. Explore and find a job you like.

[Video]

[dimensionalscream]

I'm getting that a lot.

[He has no idea what a monkey is, but the idea of him being able to talk seems pretty odd to people.]

I was on my way to the housing, but I'm curious what all kinds of work there are.

[Video]

[tiniestnihilist]

You can probably find any kind of job here that you could find in your world. I mean, shouldn't be too hard.

Did you have a job back home?
