01: Testing, 1, 2, 3...
[Upon receiving his Grumpearl, Akechi seizes the opportunity to test it. It seems pertinent to get a grasp on the communications technology, even if it's nowhere near as direct as a cell phone.
So, if he thinks, will that be enough? Akechi hums, then tries broadcasting his thoughts.]
Greetings. This is Akechi. I suspect a great many of you encountered me here and there. I'm the... "Rookidee" who was investigating the strange side effects of the various clothing articles and accessories.
[As he tries to figure out what to say, a song starts to play in his head.
Shit. Wait. Is that also being broadcast? Shit. Okay. Time to reedirect his thoughts to more sophisticated music.
Erm. Anyway.]
Please disregard that interruption. As I was saying, I've a vested interest in investigating our present set of circumstances. Recently, Mightyena-san approached me with an offer to join the Oran Berries, so that is where I'll be residing for the near future.
However, regardless of guild allegiances, I believe we could all benefit from using this network to share findings. To start us off, here is what I have learned after speaking to two individuals more familiar with the nature of Pokémon:
First, it would seem there are worlds where humans hold more authority over Pokémon, though their relationship seems more mutually beneficial on slightly more equal footing than humans and pets (Emmet-san and Ingo-san, feel free to correct me if necessary).
Moreover, there are a vast array of different types, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, and certain "moves" that might seem unassuming, such as a wag of the tail or a snarl can and do affect our combat capabilities.
Thirdly, many species of Pokémon undergo a metamorphosis called evolution, not to be confused with Darwin's theory of evolution. Those of us who took on smaller and feebler forms may be able to reach even greater heights...
But in a broader sense, it seems there is some power at play that translates our speech regardless of our native tongue. I also heard of "legendary" and "mythical" Pokémon, though whether or not they have anything to do with our arrival here remains to be seen.
I suppose the next question is what exactly determined our present forms. I can see some reason behind my avian appearance, and Ren is fairly cat-like in his own right, but I obviously can't speak for everyone else.
[As he mentions Ren, there's a flicker of an image of a Sprigatito and then a very embarrassing memory he did not intend to broadcast. The jazzy music also gets a little louder before he decides to end the message.]

There were ten of us during the most recent conflict, though I wouldn't necessarily call myself a true member of the Thieves. We had a shared enemy and a common goal, so we were able to set aside our differences to pursue that goal.
no subject
[ Not a member of the Thieves — yet. But inevitably, as things approach the their ultimate destination ... ]
Though maybe that isn't the case. Maybe it's only Ren you care to work with. You have talked a decent amount about working with him specifically and not much about anyone else.
[ though maybe that's just because Ren's the only other person Akechi knows who's here? ]
no subject
[He doubts they'd accept him as a proper member. The Thieves require a unanimous vote, and he knew Futaba and Haru were uncomfortable with him, as much as they retained some level of civility.
...
Damn it. Is he really talking about Ren that much?]
Ren and I have a rapport despite our past adversity. He has exceeded all expectations and earned my trust, which I don't give out so easily.
There are others among the Thieves who are tolerable company, and they regarded me with far more compassion than I deserve, but it's difficult to say how we'd interact going forward, especially when they likely believe I'm dead.
no subject
[ Hmmmmmmmmmm. Still not exactly his place to ask, but. ]
Well, Detective Rookidee! That sounds like a bridge you'll have to cross when you come to it. Dead or not dead, you are here now and they are not. Might as well make the most of it!
