first mission - video/action for new bark town

[throw_stone]

[There may have been a few blasts of a few seconds of broadcasting before this one, but that was just Ramza being taught how to use this.

By. Trying and reading the manual, and trying what it said. He thinks he gets the video now... don't mind his sort-of perplexed face filling the screen, before he pulls back. He's heard a few things already, but he's still thinking of it. When he does see it's working, though, he looks a little relieved - before putting on his most serious face.]
A 'trainer', they call me... [What it seemed to call him on this thing. A keeper of these monsters?] It almost seems I have become an Orator, given a monster and told to travel these paths for such a strange purpose.
But, I have questions that this booklet could not answer. Is there anybody else here from the land of Ivalice? [Or who've heard of his family... it all depends on the answer to this, to what he'll choose for himself. What he'll do with himself.] Or, if that is not the case, is there a weaponsmith in any settlement nearby? I seem to have lost my sword, when I awoke. [His protection against these creatures. A slight pause.]
My name is Ramza. If you have information, I shall listen.
[And, off it goes - Ramza turning back to his new companion, his... Stunfisk. If this is what he were given, this is what he shall learn to use.
Even if... it seems odd, like nothing he'd seen before.

A few moments later, however, he does click it back on - another thought came to him.]
Where is the closest church? [He wants to pay tribute to those two...] Or, if there is no church nearby, is there a graveyard of some sort?
[Okay, now it ends, Ramza getting ready for replies. They should come though as other bits of video, correct...? This is quite strange, having this sort of device.]

And that loss... is normal, Sir?
[He doesn't know what to say right now. This world seems... sad.]
If you know this land so well - are the wild monsters here safe enough, even without a blade to my name?

It is. Not matter what some may hope, this world cannot keep us forever. It returns us home, sooner or later.

[Not nearly soon enough, in his case.]

The local monsters enjoy testing their strength by attacking humans, with the expectation that humans will use their own monsters to fight back. In fact, you are encouraged to capture the creatures that you find particularly strong.

[That explains why Tietra wasn't here forever... though it still weights heavy on his mind, Ramza tries to shake it off. Focus on the travel, Ramza - that's what you can do for now. Perhaps you'll find out more about this land from other people, even if this man is rather kind.]
With these... Pokeballs, correct? That is how you capture beasts. I must say, it feels a little odd. In Ivalice, the only way to tame beasts were words from a trained professional.
...Or finding an egg by chance.

You'll find plenty of those here too, I assure you. Taming beast is also an uncommon talent in my world, unless you happen to be a summoner, but I still learned how to use the pokéballs quickly.

[...Mostly because his Cleffa helped.]

[throw_stone]

[...?]
Your land had summoners too, sir?
[Different kind of summoner, Ramza - people just can't train to be one in Cecils' world. But, he shakes his head.]
I think these balls will be easy to learn. If I could handle this odd device in my hands, I can handle a monster-holding orb. And if there are monster eggs around, that will also be helpful. Perhaps I could start my own clan...

It does indeeed, though they are few. Still, from what I hear it's not a very common profession in other worlds.

[Be it through training or blood.]

As long as you work for it, you can start anything you might want here. Why, even popular establishments such as the Breeding and Training Centers were created by our fellow trainers.
