[It's late, and people should probably be trying to sleep. That appears to be what the very grumpy figure on the feed is attempting to do, but it's cold and the ground is still a little snowy and he looks pretty miserable, given that there is what appears to be the entirety of a tent collapsed on him. He's also wrapped in about three sweaters and a coat, and looks incredibly unamused.]

[The camera pans over to a rather nervous-looking Rapidash, along with a Vulpix and an Onix who looks more confused than anything. The camera then turns around to display a somewhat annoyed-looking Kadabra, who just glances to the side in a 'look at this bullshit I have to deal with' expression before shutting off.]

Huh, not bad. Sounds like something that could do a lot of good, for sure.

From:

grapeeater

Yeah. It's... dangerous, though. And... I took out some of the people who would probably use it best.

From:

ratherbelocky

Those are the people you're trying to do right by, yeah?

From:

grapeeater

... Yes. I... never really fully understood them. I don't know if I'll do it wrong.

From:

ratherbelocky

There's no real way of knowing. Using the dead as a signpost...well, you just gotta make the best guess you can with what you have left. Memory's the key.

From:

grapeeater

Yeah.

... But right now, here, I just have to... figure out how to live. I'm not used to dealing with things like finding food or a regular job that's not... you know.

[Not illegal. Not a Rocket job.]

From:

ratherbelocky

Well, what're your skills? Besides, you know, fighting. Oh hey, what about dancing?

From:

grapeeater

It looks kind of silly on my own. I'm good at organizational stuff... I took a bunch of business classes.

From:

ratherbelocky

Could you teach?

From:

grapeeater

... Teach dancing? I mean... I did make some of the routines... but it's not like I was a team leader...

From:

ratherbelocky

It's worth thinking about, man. Plus you could put your business skills to use if you open your own studio.

From:

grapeeater

Maybe... I don't know, maybe I should start small for now. As you can probably tell, my survival skills aren't... great.

Haha, copy that.

Feel free to contact me if you've got any more issues like the tent thing. I was never a Boy Scout, but I did learn how to be prepared.

From:

grapeeater

... What's a Boy Scout?

From:

ratherbelocky

Uhh, I guess it's an American thing. Local boys gather up into squads, go out learning how to camp and walk old ladies across the street? Something like that.

From:

grapeeater

... Ah. Right.

[He glances down, trying not to look too suspiciously uncomfortable at that.]

From:

ratherbelocky

[Look. York may only have one eye, but his perception checks are still pretty good.]

...Dude?

[It's gentle enough. He'll back off if Micchy wants him to.]

From:

grapeeater

... Guess it might... not be anymore. In my world, at least. The... ah.

[He swallows, trying to push the words out.]

Those missiles I mentioned. The ones that got moved halfway across the world. They were fired at my city, and the Overlord king moved them. So they... ended up in North America.

... Sorry.

From:

ratherbelocky

Oh. Well, uh.

[Whatever he was expecting to hear, it wasn't that.]

...What year did you say you were from again?

From:

grapeeater

Uh. 2014.

From:

ratherbelocky

Right. Definitely a different Earth, so...you can be sorry, I suppose, but I think that's something better held onto till you're back home. Far as I know, my America's all right, barring the state of Florida sinking into the ocean and all.
