DESCRIPTION
Henry is a tall skinny man with eye bags and a five-o-clock shadow. He wears loose, comfortable clothes and running shoes. His hair is brown and after nearly a decade of chilling the heck out in happy pokemon land, has grown to his shoulders. Sometimes his friends style it and he's fine with that. He appears to be in his late twenties because of a combination of going home and coming back several years later.
He is soft-spoken and tries not to hurry anywhere.
During the week, Henry works as a receptionist in Pokemon Centers along the warp circuit. In his free time he nurtures his photography hobby. He's slowly turning it into a business. He's also spent many years studying Persim Berries and has perfected a method of converting the zest into a mild, recreational drug. He's a Poke'Weed man.
Henry isn't much of a Pokemon trainer. He has a small menagerie, but they are mostly house pets and companions. He'd like to earn a badge or two one day though.
Currently:
Henry is trying to stop smoking.
Income:
15,600P weekly paycheck on average
CURRENT RESIDENCE:
Goldenrod City, "Shark House"

Room 040 [Text]
I just remembered something today and had to laugh about it.
A while back, when I broke my foot, I was on some heavy pain medication for the first few days. It got to a point where I couldn't tell if I was dreaming or awake and apparently had dreamed an entire conversation with Heather about wanting some cereal and I got increasingly upset that no one was helping me make the cereal.
Has anything like that ever happened to you?

Room 039 [Video]
[The video flips on to the bright lights of a doctor's examination room--or rather a garbage can in the corner of one. It contains the remains of Henry's foot cast. The camera stays on the signature-smothered wrappings for some time as he speaks.]
This...is a PSA. I'm sure some of you have noticed how...weird...you or your friends may have been acting lately over the weekends. I don't mean where you suddenly lose a few days and remember something about flying school buses and the Koolaid man. I mean suddenly becoming a different person or saying things you don't mean to say or in my case...jumping off of rooftops.
This could happen to you.
[He flips the camera around, showing his usual tired, not-very-shaven face. The clinic ceiling lights blare behind him.]
And so...I think we should develop some kind of...I don't know. A buddy system? If you suddenly find yourself having strange ideas or--hell--any ideas at all, ask a buddy. Or ask two buddies in case they've got the same problem you do. Create a whole network of buddies.
I'll be your buddy. So, uh...yeah. That's all.

Room 038 [Video] (Backdated to PSYCH-UP FRIDAY)
[The feed flickers on and the camera shakes wildly before it rounds on a shirtless and wide-eyed Henry Townshend. The only thing behind him is an abundance of evening sky. He is on the roof.]
I'm going to do it. I'm finally going to do it, are you ready? I'm gonna catch Fat Stanley.
[The camera whips around to show a flock of Pidove foraging peacefully in the neighbor's yard below. Sure enough, one of them is rather fat.]
He has no idea. He's been evading us for a year he thinks he's so great well he's got another thing coming!
[He gingerly puts his 'gear down on the roof and angles it where he thinks the Pidove flock is. Sadly, they're cut off from view. The last thing the camera films is one Henry Townshend running along the edge of the roof full tilt and disappearing over the edge of it with a wild war yell.]
[The feed eventually times out.]
[Any video responses will come the following day.]
[ACTION FOR SHARKHOUSE the following day.]
[Henry sulks on the sofa and frowns blearily at the television. He is full of two different kinds of pain medicine and his foot is in a cast already lovingly decorated with names and messages from his housemates. He did not catch Fat Stanley.]

Room 037 [VIDEO]
[It's night time. The feed opens on the face of a very frightened man. His eyes are baggy, he hasn't shaved, he is...possibly under his covers? He's under his covers. Okay.]
It's official. Our house is haunted.
I used to know what to do for ghosts but I've said every prayer I know and I've lit candles. I've been finding the cabinets open. I've been hearing bare footsteps and creepy giggling in the middle of the night. I know it isn't anyone in the house and it's none of the Pokemon. I looked in on them when I heard it and they were all asleep.
[He pauses. He listens.]
Something in this house is making toast. And I know for a fact that it is none of the Pokemon. I placed every single Pokemon in this house in front of the toaster with the necessary tools and none of them could do it.
I need your help. Anyone. Please.

Room 036 [Video/Action for Goldenrod]
[The feed flicks on to the inside of a rather cute little diner all done up in bright reds and chromes with neon lights everywhere. People and pokemon line the counter and there are booths along the walls. The Salty Pelipper Diner!]
[And what would a diner like this be without a jukebox?]
[It is on this jukebox that the poke'gear's camera is focused along with the person standing next to it. Envy. Soft laughter comes from the camera man.]
Haha. Alright, how many should I punch in?
Twenty one.
Twenty one?
Twenty one.
You are a sick bastard. Heather was right. Okay...aaaand--
Wait. Let me.
[Henry's hand comes into the frame as he presses a song at random and then one other song.] Alright, now number seven.
[And then Hell falls on the Salty Pelliper as What's New Skittycat fills the air.]
[OOC: If you would like your characters to be in the diner and post reactions as a video or action, feel free to!]
[TEXT FOR SHARKHOUSE]

Room 035 [Video]
[Coming to you live from Goldenrod, it's cameraman Cheerios the Leafeon and his trusty partner in crime, Alien Baby (Abe for short) the Venonat. The Venonat can be heard chirping and burbling as he holds the 'gear, framing the Leafeon quite well for something with stub arms.]
You've gotta check this out! Our trainer got a brand new pokemon to help him with his job, but it won't let him ride it!
It's so mean! It doesn't even talk!
[Abe swings the 'gear around to give Johto a good view of what appears to be Henry Townshend trying to re-learn how to ride a bicycle. He's in the street behind Shark house, coasting down the low hill. All seems to be going well until he suddenly hits a patch of black ice, loses his balance, and EATS PAVEMENT.]
That's like the fourth time! Poke'friends, how can we convince our new partner to cooperate?

Room 034 [Text]
I have a problem.
When I select a name on my gear and try to send that person a message it somehow winds up selecting the name below or above it instead and I don't find out until a confused person messages me back.
Anybody else have this problem?

Room 033 [Video--fail locked to Heather Mason]
[Guess who's been trying out the new sneaky box technique he learned from Snake to take nice photos?]
[The same guy who just got picked up by the garbage.]
[The feed cuts on and is more or less back. There is a loud, metallic roaring sound along with the squeak of metal and the rustle of paper and boxes and cans and other assorted junk. Also wheezing and the occasional, quiet utterance of 'Trubbish'.]
H--pphtt-- Help, I've been--
[The truck hits a bump.]
It's so dark in here! I can barely breathe! I've been yelling and yelling but I don't think they can hear me! We haven't stopped for-- it has to have been an hour! I think my--[His frantic tone cuts to a deadpan observation.]...there are things moving in here.

Room 032 [Action for Mahogany]
[It's not terribly hard to spot that Townshend boy as he weaves in and out around the buildings of chilly Mohagany Town because of the trail of smoke following him.]
[Cigarette in his lips and camera at his eye, he's all about taking pictures of everyone and everything today. He's got a brand new roll of film and by Arceus he's going to use it!]
[ON YOU.]

Room 031 [Video]
[The video opens on a bed.]
[Upon the bed is a huge-ass pile of Halloween candy. Several of the bags have big MARKED DOWN stickers slapped on them. A lot of it looks kind of gross, store-brand candy that was probably discounted to BEGIN with. A shiny Venonat sits on top of the pile and nibbles on an empty packet of pop rocks.]
This is the best purchase I have ever made.

Room 030 [video]
[The feed flicks on to the image of a pair of pokemon dozing outside under a tree. An Eevee and a shiny Venonat are curled up together as if they were brothers. They may as well be. A tiny stream of smoke wafts into the frame from Henry's cigarette.]
This is kind of a weird question but...has anybody started to forget things about home? I know some weird stuff happened to me before I wound up here but...I can't remember what color my carpet was. Or what commercials used to come on all the time on TV. Or what the mirror in my bathroom used to look like...

Room 029 [Video/Action for Mohogany] Backdated to the 5th
[A road-worn face greets the network. Behind him is a clean Pokemon Center that contrasts harshly with how trashed the poor guy is. Covered in dirt and leaves and bite marks and various other stains from the wonders of nature, Henry looks about 110% done with the world.]
[His usual shyness is nowhere to be seen and his voice is hoarse]
The glitching has finally stopped. We're finally out of the woods. I talked to a world famous psychic and even she doesn't know what's going on with how weird this place is. Nobody ever dies. If this was the real world somebody would have already been eaten by a bear or something.
I feel like my old gameboy after my mom washed it by mistake. Just...checking in. When I get back to the hotel, I'm sleeping for a week. In a bed.

Room 028 [Action] CAT ON THE TOWN
[It was a dark evening when Burger decided he was tired of being cooped up in the hotel room. After insisting on going outside when his trainer went on a SOOPER SEEKRIT SMOKE BREAK, he slipped away once the photographer was distracted.]
[ALL OF SAFFRON WAS BELONG TO BURGER. Time to scream outside strangers' windows, harass flying-type pokemon, and eat garbage!]
[The sassy Glameow can be found anywhere on the Saffron streets, but will be heading back to the hotel when the sun starts coming up.]

Room 027 [video]
[The video shows the scruffy photographer looking both pleased with himself and a little baffled. The hotel room is behind him and the television is on and murmuring.]
So today I made about P400 just standing around in front of the tallest building in town. People kept walking up to me and asking me to take their picture in front of it.
So that was kind of cool. I might make a sign advertising it to wear tomorrow. What do you think?
[It was KIND of like having a job!]

Room 026 [video]
Hey, Crow, I've got everybody ready.
[The feed flicks on to reveal a team of smallish pokemon all level 10-12 sitting on the grass. A bored-looking Glameow, a happy little Litwick, a restless Tropius with a grouchy looking Hoot Hoot on its back, and a closed Shellder.]
[Off to the side are a little Eevee and Venonat who are busy chasing each other in circles. They're just out to get some fresh air.]
I'm at the edge of town, meet me when you're ready. I hope to God there aren't any Jigglypuff out this time of day.

Room 025 [video]
[There is lots of clanging and bumping as the feed turns on to reveal a hotel bathroom. A Shellder happily peeks out of a MOUNTAIN of soap suds and Henry's arm with the sleeve rolled up can be seen with a sponge in-hand.]
Heh, I'll bet that's better, huh, little guy? Smile!
[Clam waggles his tongue happily and ducks down into the soapy water before popping back up and balancing on the tub's edge. It's clear that the big HENRY that had been scribbled onto him with a sharpie ages ago is slowly being scrubbed away. The H and part of the R Y still remain.]
When this place says permanent marker, it means it. Protip: don't draw on your pokemon, no matter how good an idea it seems.
