Private video: Utau, Hijirikawa, Riku, Tenten, Aradia, Crow, Winry

[Oh, hey. It's an actual video feed from this guy. On a more private line. That can only mean one thing, right? Too bad he doesn't look all that happy and he's looking slightly beaten up. Thanks for the final gift, Team Rocket.]

Good news. I'm out of there. [Hurray. That's great!] The bad news is... I was dropped off to an island without any of my Pokémon. [Ya... y.... please plan for his funeral.]

So uh... I might need a little help in geting out of here.

[Good thing it's not the middle of winter or anything... though how on earth will he survive who knows how long...]

A curious question. What would you do if you would be stranded on an island without any equipment to survive? I mean, there's the weekends you can't remember much about so there's quite a big chance of something like that happening to you. Have you ever thought how to get out of that situation?

[Of course, this has nothing to with real life experience. Of course not. No no.]

(ooc: with mod permission, Ren is out of the Rocket base... on Whirl Islands. Whoops.]

Find a safe place to secure as a campsite, preferably close to running water. Forage, if you can recognize what plants are safe to eat. And then work on figuring out where you are and how to get out of there.

Is that helpful?

[Yeah, ninja do that out-in-the-woods thing a lot. Be grateful you don't have giant predators wanting to eat you.]

Oh, that definitely sounds helpful. Part one might be a bit difficult if the island is in the middle of an ocean, probably not impossible.

[Though was there anything except a few spots of grass on this island. One way to find out and that's to explore.]

You didn't define what sort of island.

How large is it? How much vegetation is there?

An island in the middle of the ocean. Has a cave. Lots of sand and rock, some patches or grass. Accurate enough?

Then I hope you have a friend with a boat or wings. Survival skills won't do you any good when there's nothing to survive on.

Yeah, that might be for the best. Though until a friend comes around, I'll have to hope the weather stays like this or nothing else happens.

You do have a friend coming for you, right?

[He's not entirely sure why he asks; it isn't as though he has any capability to come help this person, or any idea where he is other than "in the middle of the ocean." But at heart, Itachi does have a compassionate nature.]

Yeah. I'll be fine. This kind of pondering is mostly a way to kill time. ... and to possibly find good tips, but well. What can you do in a place like this.

Not very much, I guess.

What's your name, by the way?

[He has to admit, he's curious, and wants to know more about the people in this world.]

[Nothing wrong with curiosity. It doesn't always kill the skitty.]

Ren. How about yours?
