Hey, losers. This has definitely been one of the months I've had so far, but now I'm officially bored to death.

[There is a general air of malaise permeating this message, even if the voice of the Pokémon sending it—a gray-toned Mimikyu, currently stationed in what appears to be one of the Oran guild's dens—sounds casual and calm enough.]

At least one of you has to have a decent rec for how to kill time around here you can give me... Or just tag yourself. Whatever.

[At the words tag yourself, an image takes shape in your mind. It's astonishingly clear and will remain present in your head until your connection to this particular Grumpearl is broken.]

Later.

Well, you're as much fun as ever.

[That is to say, no fun. Won't even let her haunt him! Booo!

She thinks for a moment. Truthfully, there isn't much of anything that could really make her feel better, but she can imagine what she would be doing right now if she could.]

... Where are you from again?

[conradachenleck]

Sorry...

[He says, not sounding sorry at all.]

Erm. Well, I'm from Brighton, then I moved to the states. I settled near Baltimore before I wound up here... Why?

[telewarped]

You're from modern times then, right? Don't you miss actual civilization and all its perks? I'd kill to have my phone back...

That's what I'd be doing. Playing games, messing around online, maybe catch a movie or something...

[conradachenleck]

Oh. Yeah, that's fair.

I do miss my phone. I probably could've cut back on the screen time, though. Um. Well, I guess we're just supposed to enjoy a more natural setting, here? Become more attuned with the environment or... Something... I-I don't know. Maybe if we learn a lesson from this whole messed up scenario we'll get to go home?

[telewarped]

Pretty elaborate scheme just to get us to touch grass... And what do you expect to learn from the part where you got turned into a literal balloon animal?

[conradachenleck]

W-Well- I don't know, okay? Do you have any guesses as to why we're stuck like this? There has to be a reason.

[telewarped]

I think a Higher entity is using us to fill out their FanGO Bestiary.

[conradachenleck]

Some deity is just screwing with us, then? Just because? This is hardly original, though.

[telewarped]

Sure. Why not?

[It's obvious through their psychic connection that she isn't being serious; this is just dry humor and not an actual theory that she really believes in. The truth is that she has no theories and doesn't care enough to come up with any.]
