1st Gig | Video

[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?

[Well, Ginti doesn't tend to do video, but awkward one-way skype sessions work if Harvey's down for them; if not, well, he doesn't care if the video cuts out - the point is that Harvey's not getting visuals today, because no one ever really does.]

They've really got to stop dropping people off when the region's making itself a snowbound hellscape; don't worry, this isn't how it usually is, it's gonna pass in a few days. We're in the middle of some sort of weird weather pattern, this sort of thing just happens around here.

[Okaaaaaaay. Well, it's still better than the guy who just keeps texting him.]

That sounds about right. What, is there some giant ice monster flyin' through that's about to drop on me?

[nullorvoid]

That's one of the theories, but we haven't seen it. We didn't get any sort of flaming rage-monster or anything that wanted to drown us, either, so we're probably not going to get anything this time, either.

So it's standard screwing with us, not end-of-the-world screwing with us. You get to decide whether that's any better.

[milliondollarpipes]

The fact that you're callin' it standard worries me.

I don't exactly live in the warmest place to begin with, but normally I get a chance to dress for the weather. And somewhere to go home to. I think I'm gonna try and stay the night in this lab over here... [Couldn't just give him a Fire starter, COULD YOU PROFESSOR OAK OR WHOEVER?]
