[ Cassandra read the message, retrieved the items given to her, and promptly stared out at the farm she would now call home. This was a far cry from what she was used to - the lavish estates and the mountains of wealth and influence her family sat on for centuries. But for a woman so out of place in her finely tailored clothes and obvious air of confidence around her... she did not seem overly alarmed.

Mingling with the lower class was not beyond her - but back home she always, well, went home. Here it seems she'd have to get her hands dirty and that is not something she is used to. Thankfully, she has ways of remedying that.

The video turns on after a little bit of trouble. Technology this advanced is also far beyond her realm of knowledge but it comes to her eventually. On the screen is a smiling woman - cleaner perhaps than she should be given how long she's actually been around the farm. ]


Good afternoon everyone! My name is Cassandra and I am but a humble woman seeking some aid on this newly acquired farm of mine. You see - I do not know much in the way of farming, but I am very willing to learn! If someone could please [ She bats her eyes here, smiles a little wider and seems genuinely sincere in her request and pleading. ] assist me in removing some of the larger rocks and debris from around my home I would greatly appreciate it. Surely there are people strong enough that such an endeavor would be nothing for them!

I do not have much in the way of gold just yet, but I am more than willing to return the favor in other ways. [ A wink. ]

[Nanu's been procrastinating on this for a while but eventually decides to show his beautiful frowning mug to the network. If you met him during the Stardrop Festival you'll notice the black cat ears he was sporting are now long gone. He appears to be in a small office but the windows and more couch-styled seating also suggest a trailer.]

Before everyone gets too comfortable here I guess I should address something. No doubt you've become acquainted with the local wildlife. Some of them are actually Pokemon.

You see this? [He holds up a small orange tabby kitten by the scruff of the neck. It mewls adorably.] Not a Pokemon.

[He sets the kitten down gently then steps aside to reveal a large cougar-sized gray feline standing at his side--his Persian.] This one's a Pokemon. [Persian's version of an adorable mewl comes out more like a raspy growling Perhh-nyaaawl~!]

Some are dangerous. Some are tame. The difference between these guys and the monsters in the mountains are that Pokemon can be captured in these. [He tosses a small red and white sphere in his hand up and down, and shows it can be enlarged to about baseball size with a press of a button.] That Jojamart place seems to carry Pokeballs.

You can train Pokemon and battle with them. Breed them too, if you're into that. They lay eggs. Don't eat them. That's weird.

[He sighs, like talking this much was exhausting or he's already predicting his breath is going to be wasted to some degree. Whatever. Now he can say it's done. If anyone has questions they'll ask. Hopefully not him. He wasn't the only Pokemon trainer around here.]

That's all.



[This can also be a general bother-Nanu mingle. He honestly doesn't keep much of a schedule, running into him is going to mostly be by chance. He frequently taking naps during the day and obliging insomnia at night. Dark-types, you know? A lot of them are nocturnal, that's just how it is. He's an officer so he prowls the borders of the forests, often at night, often with one of his Pokemon out, looking for trouble and usually not finding it. Maybe this could be the night he does!

If he's not out and about, more reliably he can be found at the bar of the saloon, nursing a drink or a smoke. Or he can sometimes be found fishing; rivers, ocean, wherever there's things that make for good sushi.

Alternatively he naps. Like. A lot. Especially during the heat of the afternoon. His living quarters are not terribly well insulated so sometimes it's more practical to just hunker down in the shade of a tree somewhere and doze the hours away. Or in a shaded hay-pile. Hopefully it's not yours. Or on that bench. Or a shaded spot on the beach. Did you want that spot? Too bad, he's there, and very very comfortable.]

[It’s morning. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and there are two new arrivals around town who seem convinced that something very suspicious is going on here. Dressed in what can only be described as tactical gear, they’re clearly some kind of military, and appear to be acting accordingly. In a situation like this, the best course of action is obviously to fall back on instinct in an attempt to get to the bottom of whatever this is supposed to be. For these two, that means proceeding with caution.

Clearly there’s nothing questionable about two men carrying big guns through farms and fields, speaking to each other quietly as if to keep from being overheard. Keeping together, never straying far from the other, or lingering too long in a single area. Not at all questionable, or scary, or yeah no what are these two idiots doing.

They’re doing recon, of course! And they’re fairly thorough about it, methodically searching, poking around, overturning anything that looks questionable and possibly pointing guns at it. Was that thing yours? Sorry, it’s being inspected now. Do you live in this house? No problem, they’re just going to check around back. See or experience anything strange during your stay? No? Are you sure?

Or maybe you just come across them while going about your business. They’re obviously friendly with each other, even if they’re regarding everything else with some degree of wariness. It seems like a great idea to approach, if only to ask what the heck they think they’re doing.

(ooc: It’s a two for one deal with Jack [personal profile] strikecommand and Gabriel [personal profile] passedover. We’ll both be replying to all threads unless otherwise requested.)
