[001] Video/Action - New Bark Town - backdated to 11/08
[Video]
Salutations, Johto! And- Kanto, I believe?
[She's heard of neither of these places, but that's no reason not to be proper about it.]
I'm not sure who would need to be alerted to a medical emergency, but the nice lady who greeted me seemed VERY confused. But very kind, too! She gave me all KINDS of supplies that I'm sure will be MOST helpful.
But- um... I'm very certain she is NOT my mother. And this device says I'm someplace called 'New Bark Town', but it doesn't seem to have an actual map of the area, or anyplace to go for emergency services. If anyone could offer help, I would be VERY grateful!
[She looks about to click off the transmission, but stops herself.]
Oh, I'm sorry! My name is Penny. It's a pleasure to meet you all!
[And with a small, mechanical wave, the video ends.]
[Action]
[Not too long after her video transmission, Penny can be found in the general vicinity of everywhere, New Bark Town. Depending on when you find her, she's alternately sitting somewhere sheltered and thoroughly pouring over her Pokégear and Trainer's Handbook, or just sort of... exploring everything. Literally, almost everything, like it's a brand new experience. A Joltik is with her, typically perched on her shoulder and managing to look bored with everything.]

[Careful, unless you really want to hear about
HomestuckRWBY, Elsa.]...Oh, no. Father's going to be SO worried-
[She didn't even run off on her own, this time.]
[video]
I-It's okay, really! I know it may not seem like it, and I know how bizarre it sounds, but... time works strangely here. Months can pass in these lands without even a second passing back in your world.
Re: [video]
[That sounds fake, but okay.][And the music has been replaced as the weirdest thing about this place.]
...That means people here must have left and returned, doesn't it? Does that happen often?
[video]
New people arrive every couple of weeks or so, but people returning to their worlds is somewhat more... erratic. It can happen at any time, from what I've been able to tell.
Re: [video]
The arrivals are that regular, but the departures are random? That's VERY odd. You would think it would be the same for both, wouldn't you?
[She thinks for a second before brightening back up.]
But if it can't be helped, I suppose there's no point worrying! And this place does seem VERY interesting.
[video]
[There's a pause, then Elsa laughs.]
You sure seem to be taking this remarkably well.
Re: [video]
[It's a little disconcerting, but she can think of worse things that could happen than finding a whole new world and getting free lunch.]
Well, I suppose since I couldn't control coming here and can't choose to go home, there's no reason not to have fun! And I meant it when I said this place sounds interesting, especially these Pokémon things the guide mentioned! We have monsters at home, but they mostly just tried to kill everyone.
[video]
But you're right, the Pokemon are interesting! Which one were you given?
Re: [video]
[She holds the little yellow spider-thing up to the camera.]
I'm calling her Amber. It seems to fit, but I can't tell if she likes it yet.
[Amber, meanwhile, is giving no indication about her nickname one way or the other, but seems to be trying to goad the Pokegear screen into fighting.]
