first road.
--Oh! There we are - good, it would seem this thing is working. Seems it's my turn to get patched into the network after all.
[ there's a happy chirping from off-screen; those who understand pokéspeak might hear it as "see, i told you it would work!" ]
Yes, Minty. Come along, you might as well get on this side of the Warp Band, seeing as how this was your idea in the first place.
[ and with that, the network is graced with the addition of a curious flabébé peeking shyly into view on the left-hand side. Bilbo smiles fondly, rolling his eyes slightly. ]
Really, you are ridiculous - after all that fuss earlier, you choose now to get shy about it all.
[ Minty's response to this allegation? to squeak "bébé!" in a highly indignant manner, before swooping over Bilbo's head and down the back of his jacket. teach him to say things like that on camera. Bilbo, at least, starts slightly, but the fact that he quickly looks resigned to this suggests that this is a fairly regular occurrence. ]
Oh, dear me-- ah. [ he coughs slightly, and adopts a somewhat more 'official' tone. ] In any case, I don't want to take up too much of everyone's time, so for those among you that I haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting, my name is Bilbo Baggins, and I'm one of the librarians here in Union. Since we seem to be getting more and more newcomers lately in between all these, um - [ what is even the right word to use for this ] - upheavals? - that have been going on, I thought it might be useful to maybe make myself and the library known. You can find us in the same tower as the labs and the university, so if you ever find yourself in need of some research materials, or even just a good book to lose yourself in for a few hours, do feel free to come seek us out - we ought to have something to suit most everyone's needs. If you happen to get lost, ask around for the Roar of Time Library, and someone should be able to point you in the right direction.
[ that out of the way, he relaxes, some of that 'official' stiffness leaving him, before he suddenly seems to remember something else. ]
… and, despite what you may have heard recently on this network, I would like to reassure people that no, we do not ban people from the library in whole or in part except for, theoretically, in the most extreme cases of vandalism. [ the most awkward of beats, in which Bilbo gives a small nod, and amused pokémon sounds can be heard from the inside of his jacket. ] Right, erm, I think that covers everything. Do let me know if I can be of assistance in any way.

Video.
It's called being earthy gosh.]I can understand why you might panic, but even still!
[ Huff. ]

Not all day. Besides, you know what you did wrong, so repeating the obvious ad nauseum won't do either of us any good. [ And she's done a good job making him feel bad. ]
Video.

[ ...Okay, maybe it did, just a little bit. But she would never admit to it. ]
At least you know not to make that mistake again, right?
