intro post 8)

[ A lone figure can be seen walking up the western beach of Ohritori, past Banyan Labs and towards Turnbloom, carrying a backpack and dressed warmly (beanie, turtleneck, cargo pants, gloves and boots) despite the tropical weather. They seem to be talking to themself, looking around with jerky, birdlike head movements, and poking at a classic Pokégear on their left arm. ]

"Now ain't this a pickle. Don't think I stumbled into weirdspace, don't think I'd be eligible to bubble up twice in a lifetime, but if this beach is in INDIGO I'll eat my hat. And that means... drat. The POKéGEAR's no use either. 'Area unknown'? Come on. It's not even doing anything interesting."

[ They over-enunciate the words "Indigo" and "Pokégear", as if each proper noun were its own sentence. ]

"Well! Nothing for it! Guess I'll hoof it 'til I meet someone to ask for directions."

[ With that, they start whistling a tune and continue on their way... ]

((OOC: Heh, been a long time since I wrote this character... or did LJRP at all, for that matter. But I saw advert posts about Faraway Place and decided I might as well dip my feet back in. Hi all! ))

Not technically! [She happily shakes their hand without issue.] I'm Alice. I haven't been sent to a place like this before, but I do tend to track things that do show up throughout spacetime and leave just as soon as they came. I don't think this is the Voices, though, there'd be a host otherwise, and a lot more talking about potatoes.

[ Mandy is a little overwhelmed by Alice's explanation. Tracking ephemeral spacetime phenomena? They could almost come to a conclusion about what that really meant, but all the other things she was referencing - "streams", "voices"... - don't fit into Mandy's usual area of expertise. ]

Well! I can't rightly say that I recognize half of those terms. But I will agree that whatever got us lost is probably something pretty unusual, even compared to the kind of things that unusual things usually are!

[ They scratch their head for a moment before continuing. ]

Now, don't take this the wrong way, but... do you happen to have a working cellular? You seem like a sharp young lady, and given that we've both landed in this situation, it seems wise to get each other's contact information in case we learn more about what's going on here. And map or no map, my old faithful POKéGEAR does still seem to have a telephone phone signal.

Let me see! [She starts to rummage through her backpack with a frown.] I've got some candy... vitamins... oh, I still have all those Great Balls! Coupons -- wait, I think those are expired. I've got all the episodes on the Teachy TV? Sorry, nothing to call people with.
