[action: eastern route 29]
[Scar had left New Bark Town as quickly as he could when it became apparent that he wasn't the only one who had suddenly shown up. Questions could wait, and he certainly isn't about to out his identity to anyone who might be nearby.

So he can be found wading through the tall grass of Route 29 with a Zangoose at his side, whom he as named Amit. Scar is obviously still getting used to this Pokémon thing. The closest they have to creatures like these in Amestris were chimera.

Not a fun experience.

He moves warily, eyeing specifically any people who might be passing by. He needs to know if somebody is going to recognize him. So far, so good. But he never knows.]

The ledges at the southern entrance to route 46- are they impassible like the ones mentioned in the "Trainer Handbook?" And if one were to go about finding manual work nearby, where should he look?

[action: south end of route 46]
[In spite of his text post, Scar is still lingering just north of the building that leads back to Route 29. No matter how he tries to climb the face of the ledge, he tumbles to the bottom. Over. And over.

Most of the other new arrivals are making their way westward, and this is precisely the reason that Scar is trying to force his way north. He needs to keep away from the crowds for now.

Amit, his Zangoose, waits not-so-patiently at the bottom. She knows what's up. He's so not getting to the top of that ledge.]

[And that snag... It always comes up.]

You may call me Scar.

wait, scar? really????

WOW that is a cool name!! i bet you're awesome at the brooding antihero thing!

[...typed in all earnestness.]

[The reply comes several moments later because what?]

I'm not sure what you mean.

aw come on it sounds totally cool and mysterious!! you fight crime by night, don't you??? i mean that is definitely the kind of thing i'd expect from a guy called scar

also a scar but that's a given!!

No, I do not.

[At least not anymore. Not by his terms.]

aw really???? you totally should!!! i mean, if you put a good title alongside that it's sure to strike fear into the hearts of evildoers everywhere!!!!

[Is her excessive punctuation truly necessary...? Scar doesn't understand you whippersnappers...]

You are suggesting that I take up a career as a vigilante?

[He's well accustomed to that business. But he's sure as hell not going to let onto it.]

[nobody should have introduced Cynthia to the text function

but someone did, and they made a mistake]

well yeah!!! or there could be a league of do-gooders who fight crime and you could be the mysterious broody one, that would work too!!!

That sounds ridiculous.

[....Womp womp. Sorry, Cynthia.]

[...the saddest trombone]

aw come on it would be great!!! we'd protect the world from devastation and everything!!!

"We" now?

definitely we!! i can't pass up a cool guy like you to be part of the johto region justice cabal!!!

We have not even met.

[And you sound about 75% nuts.]

that's never meant much to me!! i mean our country's king picked up an unconscious amnesiac at one point and it was a totally great decision.

If you say so.

[For serious girl, Scar doesn't even know anymore.]

so yes we should totally do this thing!! and recruit other people, too, but i think i should handle that.

Wait, that is not what I said. I'm not signing up for some vigilante campaign.

but i have some amazing scenarios we could run through!!

You make this sound as if you're talking about a game.

yeah, kind of!! i mean i would do the real thing too but the game version is still pretty fun.

Then I have no interest in playing games.

awwwwwwwwwwwwwww come on!!! it'll be fun, i promise!!!

do you just want a different role???

No, I just don't want to play games.

[AS HE SAID.]

you could be the super dignified mentor, maybe??? i mean that's cool too, right????

You are intentionally ignoring me, aren't you.
