-ere.

[Beast, for anyone who remembers her first broadcast some time ago, seems to have gotten the hang of the PokéGear, holding it so that it better shows her from the shoulder up, outside Eve's Garden Circus in Goldenrod.]

Reckon that's workin' now. Ye can 'ear me an' such.

[She looks. Irritated? Stern? Strained? Maybe it's just her face.]

Been 'ere longer 'n I care t'be, but apparently that isn' about to change, so I'll introduce myself proper.

Name's Beast. Animal tamer by trade. [She snorts a bit derisively before muttering under her breath-] Though looks like everyone 'n their brother is claimin' t'be the same in this place.

Any 'ow, I figured to thank the people who tried to talk t'me when I first arrived. Ye'll forgive I weren' exactly the 'appiest woman at the time, seein' as I think takin' that sort a arrival calmly might mean yer off in the 'ead.

Didn' get most a yer names, but I appreciate what ye done.

[Which is the closest she'll come to apologizing for how she treated some of you. Take it or leave it.]

That said, 'll be takin' up at the circus time bein'. 'd like t' 'ave a few words with anyone who considers themself a part a that. In person, preferably. This gear'll do if yer away.

Good day t'ye.

[Look at that- so polite.]

I might be able to drop by. It's just gonna be tough getting to Goldenrod from Cerulean.

[Still, he should probably introduce myself. So, have a quick wave and a soft smile.]

Anyway, name's Riku. Got a couple Pokémon on board for the circus. Like my identity-confused Weavile.

[It's said with a chuckle. Good thing Slash isn't in the room right now, or he'd probably be getting an earful.]

If yer far out, ye needn' bother. Though I expect a greetin' in person like proper people next time ye are close.

[She's not got the geography down yet, but.]

Riku, then.

[The joke, if there was one, goes right over Beast's head, though, leaving her just. Arching a brow and waiting for an explanation. Identity-confused? Weasel?]

Well, getting there isn't the problem. It's getting back that'd be tough.

[Mostly because he hasn't trained his Alakazam to teleport to Cerulean yet. New locations are kinda tough, but eh. Maybe when this earthquake business slows down.]

So, when you say animal tamer, are we talking the kind that uses whips, chairs, and hoops?

[Classic lion tamer image there, though who's to say if it's even accurate?]

Right...

[Beast doesn't get how that works so she's going to go with her version of "smile and nod".]

That we are. Only type I'm familiar with 'fore whatever the 'ell this place 'as goin'.

Must've taken a lot of adjusting. How're you holding up so far?

[After all, Joker said it himself: most animals can't breathe fire in other worlds.]

...

[... not. Not holding up well at all.]

Fine as anyone ought t'be they wake up in a topsy-turvy world full a queer animals an' music makin' no goddamn sense.

I hear ya. Took me a long time to get used to it all, and sometimes this place still surprises me.

[He sighs. Not the most encouraging words, sadly.]

But at least you've got good company. I'm sure Joker can help show you the ropes, and if you've got any questions, I'm going on my fifth year here.

Five years?

...Yeah.

[He reaches up, rubbing the back of his neck.]

But I'm kinda in the minority. Most people don't even last one year, let alone five.

A year?

[Nope, that. Didn't make it much better]

[...Okay, yeah. Maybe he shouldn't have gone for that big of a timespan.

So, what to do...]

Some people don't even last a month?

An' it's all just up to what? Luck?

Unfortunately. I hate to be a downer, but the best thing you can really do is buckle down and make the most of it.

Good news is, you'll probably won't get bored.
