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! ))

[ Mandy blinks in surprise at the mention of "what was going down in Hoenn". ]
That business with the TITANs? GROUDON and KYOGRE and all that? No kidding! The news reports gave all the credit to some local trainer kid and their team. Guess that's human media for ya.

[Huh? Groudon and Kyogre...?]
Er, I was referring to the nightmares Darkrai was sending out.

No, can't say I've heard of that crisis. Suppose I must've been working on some tricky project or other when it happened; I tend to lose track of time when I'm too focused on my work.
[ Mandy chuckles, and then takes a look over his shoulder in the direction of civilization. ]
Well, speaking of... I'd better be getting back on my way. If all goes well, I'll find someplace on the outskirts of town to set up - make it easier to keep in touch with wild folks. But we'll see.
Was a pleasure to meet you!
