[the feed goes on to a... rather... odd-looking man smiling down at the camera: 'odd' mainly because of that blue hair-swoosh-thing going around his head like a halo of sorts. he might be familiar to a couple of faces here and there, if it weren't for his lack of usual glasses. new arrival? possibly, though he's looking significantly calmer than the average newbie. in fact, one could say that he almost looks... anxious? excited?
well, he's certainly not demanding to go home.]
I must say, this is quite the shock! I'm not entirely sure how my captors had managed to bring me here without my Pokémon's or my own knowing, along with surgically adding on these wings with no complications, so I must applaud them for doing so! It must have taken a rather powerful anesthesia for this to be feasible.
[so yeah, it doesn't look like he cares much about being abducted, since he's just rambling at this point. he holds the book high for a moment before bringing it close... very close. he squints his eyes.] This book is quite the technological anomaly, too. Apparently it functions as a form of communication... Very similar to a cross-transceiver I'm guessing. A bit bulky for my tastes, but quite fascinating-- it even has paper pages like a real book! I wonder how the inventor made this sort of thing feasible...!
[he finally draws the book away, though apparently his smile disappeared. he sighs.]
Although I wish they had left me with more than just my lab coat... I can hardly see properly without my glasses, much less perform a proper examination on these wings. [he's not paying attention to it, but if one can listen closely, they can hear something that's akin to an alien's chirping-- if they ever heard such a sound. by the way, he's back to smiling.] Well, I'm quite sure all of this is being broadcasted... so! If anyone happens to find a pair of blue-framed glasses, I would be very much appreciativuuUUWOAH!!
[a sudden brown blur distorts the image and then SPLOOSH!! the book goes flying out of his hand and snaps shut when it hits the ground.]
action;
[if you happened to be in town, you may have been witnessing one of three things happening: one is of said man stumbling around with a hand out in front of him, almost as though he'd run into a street post if he didn-- oh, just like that. two is very brief: a whoosh of something brown flies right past you, followed by a very shrill, very annoying, succession of chirps.
number three is what you see now: said brown blur rams right into said man's face and they both fall right into the Conveniently Placed fountain. whatever that brown blur was, it sure is happy to see him, though the man isn't quite as happy.]

[as though acting for colress, beheeyem detaches himself from the man to bow in thanks to the lady midair. human woman is being nice to human trainer-- beheeyem likes you!
colress hesitantly laughs] And I would change, but the majority of my clothes had not been returned, and unfortunately I've no money on me either...
action;
[Oh, my. The creature bowed to her. How polite!]
My name is Nephry.
action;
[because if it doesn't then it'll make his progress in his research a heck of a lot easier when it comes to material collecting! colress follows the lady, careful in where he steps-- not only because he's half-blind, but also because he's bare-foot. beheeyem is not too far off, floating beside his trainer in case he needs a little nudge in the right direction.
like a seeing-eye-'mon.]
A pleasure, Nephry! Forgive me for not offering my name beforehand: I am Colress.
action;
[Realizing she's getting ahead of him, she turns to wait and raises an eyebrow at his movements.] Are you nearsighted? [The squinting and hesitant walking are sort of a giveaway for some kind of vision issue.]
action;
[and unfortunately, a certain brat had swiped them before he could. oh well, he'll get them back eventually.] Anyways, this is all rather peculiar! Implanted wings, no official form of currency... how do the necessities remain stocked? Are we allowed to just grab whatever we wish right off the shelf?
action;
The stores obtain their stock via a Shift, I believe, put in place by the Malnosso. If that makes any amount of sense to you, I will be a little surprised. Though, yes, essentially we do just...take things, I suppose. It's easier not to question how it works out, in terms of money.
action;
his head is starting to hurt a little.] It makes some sort of sense to me, though only marginally. How does a Shift work exactly, if you don't mind my asking?
