{Hello Route. Nanao's sitting at a picnic table in New Bark Town, hands folded neatly on the table. One hand's knuckles are wrapped in a handkerchief, but she stares levelly at the camera, eyes utterly serious.}

Hello. I would be grateful if someone out there was able to provide an answer to my questions. Don't worry, I only have two. {She looks away for a moment, swallowing.}

How were we brought here, and does anyone know why? I think I understand where we are, even if the premise is absurd, but it is the how and why that yet eludes me.

{A Pidgey chirps somewhere off camera, and Nanao's fingers clench and uncurl.}

A precis on what happened might be nice as well, considering that this town looks like it's been ravaged by a storm.

{That said, she reaches out and clicks off the feed. She'll be wandering around New Bark for a while at least, so feel free to approach her if you see her!}

{Nanao will then scritch the Bulbasaur behind its little ears.}

{ah it's cute}

She is native to this place, and we... are not. {With a final pat, Nanao stands up, nodding in acknowledgement at Nagi.}

Nanao Ise. I'm glad to see another new face here, to be honest.

I might have to agree with you. We look for similarities around us like we look for the sun on a day like this.

[ still cloudy and darkish and ready to just rain down on them at anytime . . . ]

Speaking of the weather— [ he looks up. ] The forecast doesn't seem be in much of our favor . . . Do you need any help with setting up camp?

[ as far as he's seen— new bark town doesn't have many options-! ]

Hm. {She doesn't know him, but then again, she doesn't truly know anyone.}

You know what? I wouldn't mind a hand. ...that said, I was hoping to get a little closer to Cherrygrove before I did so.

It's settled, then.

[ might as well get going before it rains, yes? continuing here! ]
