[Bruno is still trying to figure all this out a week later, but he's also kind of enjoying himself? It's not the best place, and he misses his family. But deep down, he also feels relief to be here, traveling on his own, and not back in Casita where there's all those people, and he loves them, but everyone's trying to work on the family dynamic and themselves and they're all sharing one bathroom on top of that; every moment has the potential to get very awkward in the blink of an eye. Bruno? He's an introvert. Always has been.

Which is why this is his first time addressing the community over the Pokegear. Some will no doubt recognize his location as Violet City. Or, rather, very nearby: Bruno is sitting on the edge of Slowpoke Well. This is probably a bold move for someone who could catch a Pokeball he threw to himself! But so far, so good. A Silicobra is nestled beside him, half-awake, and a Galarian Slowpoke is lying across his lap.]

Buenas tardes, everyone. I'm, uh, Bruno Madrigal. This is only for us guys who don't belong here, right? I've met a couple of you on the way to this town. Probably not that many overall, though. [He pauses, thoughtful.] Well, I don't know, how many of us are there?

[This tech is 100% new to him. He is genuinely expecting an immediate response that of course doesn't come. So he shrugs.]

Eh, it doesn't matter, really. ...Right, introductions. This is Tiago. [As he says that, he juts his head in Silicobra's direction.] And this guy joined us today. [With a little difficulty, this scraggly wisp of a man picks up Slowpoke and turns it to face the camera. Then, in a goofy and deep voice, he speaks as the Pokemon.]

Hello, I'm Enrique! I was sleeping next to the well and Bruno tripped over me! He almost fell into the well, isn't that silly? Oh, but don't worry, everyone's okay now.

[That's as long as Bruno can comfortably hold up nearly 80 pounds of Pokemon, so he sets Slowpoke back down in his lap with a soft, rather awkward chuckle.]

That was just a little-- Well, nevermind, I really only wanted to introduce myself and my team. So... Thanks for listening.

Easy come, easy go. That was how the saying went, wasn't it? Goro Akechi had become a household name in Shibuya, the teen had risen to fame at great speed... But sometimes things just didn't go as planned, even with the most careful calculations. Goro had no interest in staying in Japan now. He wouldn't call himself the type to run away when things got rough, of course not, but there was running away and then there was making a strategic exit. Two different things.

He'd ended up in the American city of Birchpointe through a series of unusual circumstances- Not nearly as unusual as those that had lead to him fleeing the country, of course, but that was hardly saying anything. Would he stay? So far, Goro wasn't sure. He had no reason not to, he supposed, but that would be true in many places. He didn't want simply an unobjectionable place. It was having a reason to stay that would matter, and he'd only see if there was one by exploring the city.

It had gotten quite late before he'd realized it was even getting dark, that evening. One point in Birchpointe's favor was that there was no lack of things to do and see, at least. Still, he was growing tired, and started to head back to his apartment- When an unusual sound caught his attention from the woods beyond the sidewalk.

A lot of Gobo's meetings with Daniel were unexpected on the Fraggle's part - a result of Daniel being constantly aware of just about everything going on around him. However, that day, Gobo had gone to Birchpointe with the specific intent of seeking out the Sentinel. Getting to his apartment floor wasn't too hard. He was getting pretty good with the elevator even solo, if he did say so himself! He was pretty sure he remembered which door number was Daniel's, too, and headed over to knock on it.

Maybe Daniel could get him another one of those amazing ice cream sundaes today...

Birchpointe sure had plenty of places to explore, but Gobo found himself coming back to the parks again and again. There were several, and they were so big! Besides, the parks were out in nature, and you never knew what you might see...

...Or who! Gobo grinned when, from his semi-hiding-spot beneath a bench, he saw Daniel across the pathway. Daniel was a nice guy. Mokey sure seemed fond of him, and of course, he sure was helpful. So Gobo crouched low and made his way over before popping back up at Daniel's feet.

"Hi there!"
