Oh, cool, I think I got it, there we go...

[ the camera spins around, initially pointing off at a random wall of the Cherrygrove Pokemon Center, but soon shows Tavros, looking a bit worse for wear, but seated in a proper wheelchair. it looks quite comfy. you know, as comfy as wheelchairs get, anyway. ]

So, I finally got to, uhh, this new place, with the help of my new friend, which I decided to call Rufio, by the way, since it seemed like a good name for a hoofbeast that, uhh, is pretty brave, as it turns out.

[ he smiles a little, pointing the camera at the aforementioned Tauros, standing outside and looking in through the window. he snorts agitatedly when he realizes he's being watched, just barely audible on the Pokegear. ]

Also, I got a new four wheel device, which is good, because I don't think Rufio liked carrying me around, and it was also kind of dangerous, and I kept falling off, so, it took a long time to get places. There was a lot of, I guess, tribulation, but ultimately, it turned out okay, and I captured a feather creature, in one of those multi-colored capsules that I had in my bag, so that was pretty cool, too. [ turns the camera his way again, looking just a little sheepish. ]

But, to get back to the thing that I wanted to say, before I started, uhh, saying other things, is that I was going to ask, what's a good place to stay for longer than just a little bit? Like, maybe, a new hive that I could live in, or borrow, I guess. I don't really know how that's, uhh, supposed to work. Anyway, I kind of like this one place that I mentioned being at now, but I don't want to, really, impose on the hospitality here...

[ trails off for a moment and then rounds off that half-finished thought with an awkward shrug. ]

That's all, uhh, I guess, for now.

Not normally, no, definitely not. I guess it's not, uhh, a thing that's all that bad, though, just disorienting, a little.

Not to be rude, but... what were you before, then?

Oh, that's okay. Before, uhh, all this human stuff happening, I was a troll. I guess, possibly, I still am, just, you know, not physically, or something.

A... troll? Like the kind that lives under bridges...?

Yes, uhh, and no. Yes to the troll part, because, that's what I said, but no to the bridges part, because, uhh, we, at least in most cases, live in hives, that are, I guess, similar to human dwellings, in some ways, and not like overpasses for passing over things.

Ah, so not like the trolls in the stories.

... Anyways, I haven't introduced myself, right? My name is Alexi, it's nice to meet you.

Hi, uhh, Alexi, it's nice to be meeting you, also. I'm Tavros.

Um, anyways... good luck finding a place to stay.

Thanks, I hope that luck will, uhh, be enough, and that it won't be too hard.

Hopefully! I don't think you have to worry too much about it, though. The people here are all nice and'll definitely help you out, if you need it.

I guess that's the good thing about the human dwellings, is that they're more welcoming, so, in that regard, you're probably right that I shouldn't worry, I think.

Right. Well, we're all in it together, so everybody seems like they're happy to do what they can for other people.

... Is your culture not like that, then? You seem like a nice person, though.

Well, it can be, sometimes, but, uhh, usually trolls are sort of more like, a "go do it yourself" kind of race, I guess, since that's how we're brought up.

Some humans are like that, too... I guess it depends on how you're raised, here. My family wasn't like that, though.

Really, were your custodians very nice?

Nice, yes. Very... unique, too.

... They're both here, actually.

Oh, so, the word that I should have used would be "are," as in, they are very nice. It must be good to have them around in a place that's not normal to what you're used to. Uhh, I mean, I guess so. I don't really know what custodians are actually like, or what they do, besides custodial-type things.

Um... you didn't have parents, then? I mean, I take it that's what you mean by "custodian", right?

... And it is kind of nice, yeah.
