[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?

Didn't look like there was anyone home, but if it's THAT far away I might as well go check.

[If it's THAT far away and this cold already, he'll consider breaking and entering. Seems like a bad way to introduce himself to this place though.]

Thanks, whoever you are.

Perry works.

[Perry that's your actual name.]

No problem. I was out in the snow earlier so I know how bad it is.

Maybe if the door's unlocked you can still stay there?

[milliondollarpipes]

That's kinda what I was thinkin'...

Ain't there supposed to be a Professor? If it's a lab and all? Who're they?

[doesntdomuch]

No clue. I guess it could be a front?

[milliondollarpipes]

For what, Team Rocket?

[doesntdomuch]

You never know.

You seem to catch on to what's going on too. Impressive.

[milliondollarpipes]

This ain't the first time somethin' this weird's happened to me.

[Hey, if he can spin "really into playing a children's video game" into something that sounds impressive, he will damn well take that.]

You're tellin' me there's been folks stuck here for years, and no one knows what's up in there? Someone must've gone pokin' around.

[doesntdomuch]

You and me both.

It's possible that someone knows. The Lab wasn't really my biggest concern when I woke up here.

[milliondollarpipes]

Huh. Yeeeeeah, can't blame ya. I'dve probably left town too if it weren't for the weather. Looks like it's dark in there...

[He's trudged his way over to the Lab, and is now looking in the windows. Okay, he'll just try the door.]

How long've you been here?

[doesntdomuch]

Close to two months now.

You came here at a bad time. Wasn't much better last week either, with all the thunderstorms.

[milliondollarpipes]

I'd take some thunderstorms over THIS any day. You sure there ain't some evil weather Pokemon yankin' our chains?

[doesntdomuch]

You've obviously never had to be out in a storm with trees being your only shelter.

If there is, I haven't heard about it. I suppose there is a chance that they're being very inconspicuous about it though.

[milliondollarpipes]

Still better than sleepin' in the snow.

There must not be, then. Things like that don't usually go this long without attackin' and blowin' stuff up.
