[ 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! Clever. Guess the old days had their own solutions to that problem."

[ Mandy follows them in, unperturbed by the homeyness of the space. After all, there's only some Professors who would strew their living spaces with science fair projects. If anything, they're more interested in seeing what a "human dwelling" looks like in general - what people usually put there, and what it implies about what they do when they're home. Once inside Gold's room, they sit down on the chair, look out the window at the coast, and take a deep breath to steady themself. In, out. ]

"Alright.

"I've thought about this a bit. You already know the parts I was most scared of. GOLD, you were right when you guessed I was the reason the TM thing happened. And UMBAR, sir, I think you figured out a while back that I'm a POKéMON in disguise. So mostly I wanna get everyone on the same page, maybe fill in some context, and... explain why I'm so nervous about anyone knowing those things.

"When you fished out your POKéDEX and it had that error on it, I told you I'd seen that problem before, or a problem like it. That it happens when it'd try to scan something that it thought was a POKéMON, but that it couldn't interpret as a POKéMON. Later, I floated the idea that the extra copies of that TM in your bag, mighta been caused by the same thing as the error. Now, all that was true; I was only fibbing about why all that would happen."
