[Archer hasn't been keeping track of the posts on the network for the most part. They've been lost in this cave for weeks (okay, it's been more like days, but same thing right?) and he's exhausted. He knows he doesn't look anywhere near presentable, but this particular post has caught his attention enough to get him to respond.]

[There's something different about this new arrival, and it doesn't have anything to do with the circus tent he's wearing.

That's not what caught Archer's attention first though - it was the appearance.]

[...A better explanation is in order, isn't it?]

This is Johto, not the "Motherland." The majority of the people here have been pulled from their homeworlds for no discernible reason.
