[ 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! ))

Ah! Yep, sure seen this before, my old HANDY505'll do it too sometimes when it tries to scan something that doesn't register properly as a POKéMON. Just a moment...
[ Mandy fishes out a bit of wire from one of their innumerable cargo pants pockets and begins fiddling with something under a plastic cover. After a bit of effort, the Pokédex's screen goes blank and starts rebooting. They spend a few more tense moments waiting for the reboot, and then, once the UI returns, scrolling through the SEEN index to make sure the entries there look normal. Finally satisfied, Mandy breathes a sigh of relief and returns to their accustomed smile. ]
