[The feed clicks on and for a while there's only the sound of shuffling to be heard, until the one on the other end clears his throat; a chirp followed soon after.]

Hello, everyone. I can't say I am too accustomed to this new....place, but it is very peaceful, despite the incessant music.

[a moment of silence]

Also, this bird, will it be with me as long as I'm here? I was told it was called 'Natu'. Any information on this place would be good. Thank you.

[and in response, there's a cheery little chirp from said pokemon.]

While I'm new here myself, I have obtained a bit of information on this place that I could give you.

I'm guessing you've gone through your knapsack?

Of course. I've found some interesting things that I haven't come across before.

I'd appreciate it if you could tell me what you know.

You won't be going home anytime soon, from what I gather. It's quite random, so you might be lucky. Welcome to your new home for however long it will take you in.

The bird is apparently helpful, so treat it well.

[Harold Natu? Really, Finch? Really?]

[But either way, even though Reese is struggling to understand all of this himself, he sounds a bit amused at hearing such a familiar voice. Hey, as long as Finch was here, maybe they could get down to the bottom of what had happened.]

Long time, no hear, Finch.

[NO ONE WOULD EXPECT IT MR. REESE]

[well then, this is a pleasant surprise for him. That meant that their situation was not as bad as he expected. At least they could still work together.]

I wasn't expecting you to follow me, Mr. Reese. I don't suppose you have found anyone else that we know?

No, sadly, I haven't.

[No Carter or Fusco as far as he knows. Which is disappointing, because they could have helped out. But having Finch here is enough. They can work things out, even without the Machine.]

But I'm here now. Are you still in town?

We'll have to find other people to help us in the meantime then. Seems like a relatively peaceful place, but that isn't always the case.

[he's a bit worried, though he does not show it, when it comes to the Machine itself. The numbers never stopped, not even if they were gone. He was going to have to deal with it, or find a way out.

The chirp of the Natu was heard before Finch responded again.]

I'm at the edge of the town. I suppose you have also gotten one of these....pokemon?

Of course it isn't, Finch. Appearances are deceiving, after all.

[Even though Finch can't see it, he nods.]

Yes. It's quite...interesting, if I do say so myself.

... Uu-? [ she blinks. ] You don't like the music? Maria thinks it's very cheery!

[he hesitates a little over starting a video feed, but he does so anyways.]

Yes, well...I'm not very used it, that's all.

Maria isn't used to this much music either, but it's fun!

[ She giggles and then starts humming along with the background music, making little 'uu-' sounds. ]

[he smiles lightly at her. Oh those times when one could be innocent.]

It must be difficult for you to travel on your own.

Maria isn't all alone, uu-.. Lion is travelling with Maria! [ although that makes it more sound like a pet than a human - her family has awkward names.. ]

That bird's gonna be your buddy.

Try not to leave it anywhere by accident.

I don't consider myself to be a careless person, I'll make sure to take care of it.

[a pause]

Are you from here?

_{[The question actually gets a laugh. One of the few she's had in awhile.]}

Me?

Hell, no.

Been here almost two years, though, so that's as good as being a native, right?

Two years? I suppose you arrived here the same way I did, then?

[though he doesn't show it, it almost worries him. What if he too, was stuck here for two years. What about New York? The Machine?]

If you showed up in New Bark with some senile lady pressing a backpack on you and booting you out of her house, yep. That's how I got here.

Yes, it was...unusual, to say the least. She seemed to be very convinced about me being her 'son'.

[He just thinks that she suffers from dementia or something, but Finch still found it strange.]

Any explanation as to how we have arrived here?

Yeah, don't worry, she thinks that about everybody. It's... kinda sad, actually.

But anyway, 'fraid not.

All anybody can tell you is that this is a different dimension from wherever you were from before.

A different dimension? [he sounds skeptic] That sounds a bit far fetched.

[he pauses for a moment]

Though still believable, I suppose. There aren't animals like these anywhere that I have been.

Just wait till you've been here a couple years.

There's no way you'll think this is Earth by then.
