[The feed cuts on to a roughly middle-aged man dressed in a sharp suit and hat. The Murkrow on his shoulder cuts an equally fine figure - or would, if she weren't trying to press herself into his neck, all her feathers puffed up. He's also shivering faintly, despite his relatively warm clothes.]

So I guess there's a bunch of folks who got dropped into all this? Kinda good to know it ain't just me...

The name's Harvey Finevoice. Just got here. I've got the whole Pokemon idea, so don't worry about that, but how close is the nearest town? It's gotta be ten degrees out here, that weird lady's locked the door, and it's only gonna get worse when the sun goes down. It doesn't look like there's much of anywhere to stay here, but I'd kinda like to not go campin' in the snow.

Also, what the hell is with the music?

Everyone asks about the music...

[ Anna's starting to feel like she's the only one who likes it, but even so... ]

You're in New Bark, right? So Cherrygrove is just about three days away, normally. Probably a bit further if you're travelling in the snow...there are places to stay there if you really look for them, or you could hop on the ferry and take it over to Kanto, if you'd like. It should be a bit warmer on the boat, I'd think...

[milliondollarpipes]

I'd be surprised if someone didn't. Does it ever turn off?

[He is going to lose his mind.]

Wait. So Kanto's across that channel over there, right? What do you call this place?

[loveisanopendoor]

No, but it does change depending on where you go, and you get really used to it, I swear! Some of the places have really catchy tunes! Honestly, hearing a new song is almost half the fun of getting to a city you've never been to here.

This place is called Johto, and across the water, you have Kanto. Other than by boat, the only way to get from one region to the other is by the Magnet Train in Goldenrod. I hear Mt. Silver connects them, too, but I don't think anyone's allowed to go there for whatever reason. ...Which kinda makes me even more curious, to be honest.

[milliondollarpipes]

That sounds fun and all, but I can't imagine it's great for anybody's singin' career. I can barely hear myself over it now.

[Okay, he's maybe being dramatic there. But it IS irritating.]

Okay, got it. Thanks, kid. I'm sure there's a map somewhere in all this, but I can barely feel my fingers as is. [He doesn't wanna sit and dig around in this bag in the snow.] How'd they block off a whole mountain?

[loveisanopendoor]

I take it you don't have a Fire-type, huh?

[ Poor guy.. ]

Well, they kinda just blocked off the route that you take to get to the mountain, really. It's alright, though, there's plenty to explore regardless! I've been here over a year and I still have a ton of Johto left to see, and I haven't even touched Kanto yet.

[milliondollarpipes]

Nah, I got a bird. Pokedex says she's Dark/Flying, so unless I want a stiff breeze kicked up... [Said Murkrow gives a disgruntled caw.] Yeah, yeah, I know. Ain't your fault.

Do most people get stuck here that long?

[loveisanopendoor]

Oh, a Murkrow! Hold on, hold on!

[A bit of a flash of light, and out comes Sablefeather, who seems...equally disgruntled? At the very least, a bit grumpy for being brought out, but...]

Did you name her yet? This little fella's called Sablefeather!

It really depends. A lot of people kinda come and go whenever, there's really no telling when someone'll drop off or drop in. Some people are here for super-long, and others leave kinda quickly...

[milliondollarpipes]

Nah, I hadn't really thought about it yet. Figured I should find someplace warm first.

[Of course he was planning on it though. It'd be like calling a dog "Dog" otherwise; who does that? Harvey brightens some at seeing another Murkrow, despite being generally miserable and freezing right now.]

Oh, hey! Lookit him! How long've you had him for?
