[Should you happen to be in Mahogany Town, chances are you already know about the icicle swarm. If you're not then you at least get to miss out on Isaac herding all the Bergmite, so at least there's that.

Isaac normally doesn't post to the network, and on those rare occasions he does he never uses video. Today is clearly an exception.]

Uh, hi.

[This is going great so far, isn't it.]

I wanted to check and see if anyone else found any of these little guys outside today. I don't think they're going to do well in weather this warm, so I'm trying to round them all up and bring them to the Ice Path. I think they'll be okay in there.

[He turns the video to focus on the Bergmite after a moment of thought. Showing off what the things he's talking about look like might be a good idea. There sure are a lot of Bergmite there. They're all happily chirping and crowding around Isaac, so clearly he's doing something right.]

They definitely drip when they're kept in warm locations, so I'm not sure if they're in any danger of dying or anything, but I figure it'd be best to put them all in a safe location.

[This was of course after he let them drip all over the house, but that's not the point!!]

Yeah, so um... If you found any of these things, could you send them my way? If you didn't...

[Back to the Bergmites. Oh god, are there more of them now!?]

I guess I can send you one if you'll take care of it. Thanks for your time.

[The video feed opens to a set of eight Gym Badges. Look familiar? Isaac might have been copying Kimblee and Archer's recent video post.]

Four months.

[He doesn't appear on camera, instead keeping it focused on the badges.]

I guess that breaks your record, Kimblee.

[There might be a note of pride in his voice. Maybe. He doesn't usually sound all that proud, alright.]

So now what? I guess there are badges in Kanto but... what's the point? If what I've heard is right, defeating the Elite Four will send you home. But they're not open yet, right? So what's the point of getting the badges in Kanto?

[He doesn't sound upset, just confused.]

Also, has anyone taken that cruise? I got a ticket from the last Gym. I've never been on a boat.

[That last part is reflective, and Isaac cuts the feed abruptly. No, he hasn't gotten any better at this "social" thing, thanks for asking.]
