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.

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.]

...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.]

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.

[ 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?

[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.

[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.

[ 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]

[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?

[ 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.

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.

[ Video ]

[dimensionalscream]

I got that back home too.

[He smiles.]

I'm not really worried about danger, but I guess we'll need to be careful.

[Video]

[dimensionalscream]

Maybe. It's very different.

I try to treat most people the same. But it's going to be sad if anyone I make friends with just disappears.

[He knows that unavoidable things like that are very painful.]

[ Video ]

[mortal_son]

[Looks a little wary, but he'd be a hypocrite if he judged that kind of attitude. ]

Yeah. You take care of yourself.

And. Ask if you need help, all right? [ Ok, he'll be a little hypocritical. ]

[foxcurls]

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

[dimensionalscream]

That sounds nice actually. Where should we meet at?

[ Video ]

[dimensionalscream]

That's what I'm doing right now, right? But I will.

[When your last adventure is as big as Skyler's then the mention of danger alone isn't that scary. The concern is definitely appreciated though.]

So, what's your name? You never said.

[foxcurls]

If you're still at the Bay I can meet you there?

[dimensionalscream]

I just left before calling, but I can backtrack and wait there.

[ Video ]

[mortal_son]

[ Not that he'd admit to being concerned or anything. ]

... Shinjiro Aragaki.
