[The video feed opens up to the image of a man with a weird coat and an even weirder hairstyle. It'd be weird enough without the translucence provided by his Iris Moonblessing, honestly. He is located somewhere in one of Greatmoon Groves' parks from the looks of things in the background, and he seems very excited to speak with the network.]

Greetings! I've yet to make a post to the network, so I would like to introduce myself first and foremost. I am Colress, a scientist working for the Lunar Scientia and a fellow Moonblessed!

I am addressing the network today with an inquiry! But before I get to that, I would like to make just a few more introductions. This will be related to my inquiry.

[Colress then pans the camera to five creatures whom he introduces as Klinklang, Beheeyem, Magneton, Rotom and Porygon-Z. Klinklang and Rotom seem particularly interested in crowding around the communication band to get their time to shine, while Beheeyem and Magneton hang out as far off-screen as possible. Porygon-Z looks like it has no idea what's going on, honestly.

Colress manages to settle them all down before returning his attention to the feed.]

These are my Pokemon! I have been here for about two months, and have taken notice to the fact that everyone I've spoken to has had no idea what Pokemon are. Allow me to provide a brief description: Pokemon are creatures in my world with unique abilities and affinities to various elements. There are hundreds of species, and they have had a long-standing symbiotic relationship with humans. Pokemon are a cornerstone of my world's culture and my primary subject of study, so you can imagine my surprise when I discovered that I seem to be the only one with knowledge of them here!

However, I have met several individuals with similar companions. This brings me to my inquiry: Are there others present in Lunatia that arrived with pets or companions similar to Pokemon? I would love to compare and contrast our experiences, and learn more about the creatures of your worlds!

[As Colress goes on, the upside-down head of Porygon-Z can be seen peering in from the top left corner of the feed.]

Of course, I am also happy to elaborate on the subject of Pokemon as well, if anyone found interest in my description.

Thank you for your time!

[ The feed turns on to show a dark-skinned young man with a rain of freckles all over his skin. he looks nervous, unable to keep eye contact with the camera for more than a few minutes at time. ]

Um, I... um... I was wondering? Is there a library like the one on one of the moons down here in Lunatia? Or... uh... a library at all? I haven't really been able to find one.

[ His voice is soft, the accent a strange mix of german and french. A white ferret lies around his shoulders, peering at the camera with intelligent black eyes as the young man tries to explain himself. ]

There were... books with spells and things. Some very strange automatons, too, but I could really do without those. Magic in this place... it's really interesting.

[ The more he speaks, the less hesitant it gets, as he gets into the things that interests him. ]

My world... doesn't really have this technology stuff so it's... it's a big difference. Since I don't really have anything to compare that to, I'm more interested in the magic. The prismals said something about it being the same, though, but I don't really understand how.

[ Connie catches himself rambling and looks a bit sheepish. ]

S-sorry, I'll make my point. Is there a library down here? If there isn't, is there any other place to find... um... I don't know... comparisons? I don't know. I'm just curious.

Sorry if I'm taking up your time!
