((OOC: oh my god, you guys, what am I even doing? Late intro is so late because of NaNoWriMo and I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING, besides. Enjoy :'D Sorry if I derp this up like the derp I am. Also, feel free to add your own character tags. Tag add new/delete and add/remove to entry is set to any user because I am too trusting))

[the feed shows Douglas Cartland blinking in the middle of a random field in the sunlight, shielding his eyes from the sun. He's got his 'gear in one hand and his Shuckle in the other and he's staring hard into the screen]

How the heck do I... how am I supposed to work this thing? Is it like a phone? One of those new video phone things or...

[pause]

Oh, it's recordin'. Okay. Well uh... not sure if anybody can hear this but I'd really like to know where I am. Some woman gave me lunch and shoved me outside when I woke up this morning, but that's not really important. What I really wanna know is where I woke up.

Hello? Anybody listenin'?

[he frowns]

There's no way this is Maine.

[he resists the urge to say "I have a feeling I'm not in Kansas anymore", because this isn't the time at all]

[he chuckles softly]

Mostly stuff about solvin' crime, really. Never really cared about much else. But I can sure catch a bad guy, let me tell ya. [his smile is slightly proud]

Solving crime? Like... bad men?

[he nods]

Yeah, bad men. Most of the time. Sometimes they were good men who did bad things, but I stopped 'em all the time.
But as a detective I mostly just find people who're missin'. Not so much crime-fightin' anymore.

...Mother says the world is full of bad people who want to hurt me.

[Douglas frowns at that]

I think your mother's wrong. Sure, there are bad people, but there're a lot more good people than bad. There're people you can count on, and people who'll protect you.

And as for the bad guys,there's always somebody who'll stop 'em.

Really?

[She's looking so hopeful right now.]

I haven't met any bad people in Johto so far... but... Mother must know what she's talking about...!

[So torn!]

Trust me, there are a lot more good people than bad. I've seen the worst of the worst, and they don't outnumber the good people, not by a long shot. For every bad person, there are ten good ones who'll stop 'em.

R...Really?

[She's hopeful. ;w;]

[Douglas smile fondly, nodding]

Really. Ya don't have to worry about it. The world's not as bad of a place as some people are gonna try and tell ya it is.

But... my Mother's seen the world. And she said the world is full of bad people.

I've seen it too, and she's wrong. There're bad people, but there're more good people than bad.

If there were more bad people, doncha think the world would be a little less friendly?

[You make a good point, sir. You've given her something to ponder over.]

Well... yeah.

[The facts aren't adding up. If the world is the horrible mean place Mother makes it out to be... why has no one she's met tried to hurt her.

THIS IS SO CONFUSING.]

So maybe you should base what ya think of the world and the people in it on what you've seen yourself, instead of listenin' to what your mom told ya about it.
