[ Lights up on a room at the Cherrygrove Inn. The Gear is apparently just sitting atop a pile of blankets made evident by the fluffy waves of fabric lining the lower-most section of the feed. There is no visible Stan in the picture-- maybe that's a good thing for anyone watching or who has been exposed to him since his arrival. However, a backpack filled to the brim with knick-knacks and clearly made up for someone who is going to hit the road again soon. On the wall, he has evidently spread out a paper map with a few pins put in on the major cities, though the focus seems to be on the points marking Goldenrod and Ecruteak City. Some vague scribblings can also be seen, but not read as the map is across the room.

But they definitely are pinpointing the location of the most SUCKERS in Johto within reach.

Half of the screen is suddenly taken up by the rotund form of a large Pumpkaboo who is trying to toddle her way into the blankets for a soft retreat. Before she can even think of doing so, though, a large cat's paw FWUMPS against the bed and spooks the pumpkin ghost out of her intentions with a SCREEEE! of a squeal.

Ah! It's Misery the Meowth and a new friend. The former looks like she is on the hunt and her prey is as slow and waddling as a wounded duck. But that's just how she is. ]

Miz, what're you doing?

[ Misery's attention is barely pulled away by the man's voice. Now her big eye is peering directly into the camera. ]

Is this thing on again?

[ The man dressed to the nines in his black suit (somehow having not wound up weather-beaten) picks the device up. ] Stupid thing turns on and off all the time.

[ But since we're here, we have some questions. It doesn't appear that he is too happy about having to address the public buuuut that's just how his face looks. All the while, Misery is trying to bat the Gear and the Pumpkaboo is whining in the background. ]

So I gota a couple more Pocklemin. [ That's still not how you pronounce Pokemon........... ] Bought 'em off some folks as eggs and hauled them around while I was walking. Never had any kids of my own but I know how to hatch an egg. [ Or just toss it against something and hope for the best. ]

Important Question: Where would you kids say the most people live around here? Just curious. I have a couple of ideas I wanna set into motion but this isn't a good spot. Need to get a few more monsters and set up this whole "Breeding Thing" I'm supposed to be doing. Being a businessman back at home, dense is not always best so I'm tryin' to scout a place to set up shop that isn't gonna cost me more than what I'll make. Also what do you look for when shopping for a new pet? Gotta know what the customers prefer... Size, color, breed, whatever...

[ That might be the most intelligent thing he has said so far. He DOES know what he is talking about. ]

We're gonna get outta here tomorrow. Snappy replies would be nice.

[ Misery wails until Stan flips the camera over to her and she can give the "audience" a wave and show off that she has tipped the Pumpkaboo over where it is rocking side to side in futility to escape.

rest in pumpkaboo ]

(( OoC;; If anyone wants to do an action tag, he can be found perusing the PokeMart and getting disgruntled over their prices or trying to get Misery out of a tree. ))
