[@Xan the G] I'd forgotten to mention this, but your post doesn't indicate the weather and time-of-day described in the first post. Because of this, I've set the response to you in my post the morning before everyone else. 
I just wanted to let you know that you're not going to be on the same time-line as the others until it is played through. I'm not requiring you edit your post, I just want to make sure it's understood before I post (which is going to be a few minutes from posting this). 
I'm also adding a line suggesting he has an "accent" due to his not being from Hoenn. I just like the idea that they have different dialects (or even languages if people want to develop that aspect of the setting).
