>Wield the Escape Rope as a whip

Well, it's obvious that you're out of place and possibly a target in this new world, so you're going to want some sort of protection. Since you don't have any Pokémon yet, you're going to have to resort to manual weaponry. You fish the Escape Rope out of your bag and wind into a whip shape. It actually works very well as a whip, and makes a satisfying crack when you snap it in the air.

You crafted one Makeshift Whip! You placed the Makeshift Whip in your hand.

>Try opening the mysterious Pokeball for protection!

Oh, right, the Mysterious Poke Ball, the one that the Author drew attention to at the very beginning but that you are just now opening for some reason. What could be inside?

You carefully brush the dust off of the top of the Poke Ball and push the button, wondering if maybe it won't work anymore because it's gone unused for so long. It coughs and shudders in your hand, but ultimately spits out a beam of brilliant white light like it's meant to do.

The light forms into an Eevee, which doesn't seem very phased about its long stay in the ball. It seems plenty happy to bounce around your feet and yip like a puppy, which makes all of the Creepy People look at you creepily. In unison. Wow, that is creepy. You back away a little bit and they don't advance... just stare... ugh.

> Open the mailbox!
>Check your mailbox. Knock on people's doors to find information about you and the date.

As you back past your mailbox, you decide to flip it open to gather your mail. Assuming people were still sending you mail while you were in a coma. To your surprise, the mailbox is packed.

You obtained five Letters! You placed the Letters in the Mail pocket.
You obtained three Credit Card Bills! You placed the Credit Card Bills in the Junk Mail pocket.
You obtained one Subpoena! You placed the Subpoena in the Junk Mail pocket.

You knock on the door of the next house, feeling an intense need to get to shelter but not really wanting to go back into your house, because of dead body related reasons. A woman who's pale as death answers the door.

"What." Her voice is flat and dry, like sandpaper.

"Do you know what day it is by any chance? And possibly the year?"

She stares at you like you are wasting her very precious time. "January 4. 2050. Anything else?"

Your mind takes a brief break to bury its face in a pillow and scream incoherently. When it returns, you are capable of saying, "Just one more thing. Do you recognize me?"

She shakes her head without speaking and slams the door in your face.

>Break into other people's houses and take their stuff.

Well, that would just be rude, since you just talked to one. Besides, now you know the houses aren't abandoned so you'd totally get caught.

There is a Horde of Creepy People here.
There is a Prancing Eevee here.
There is a Garden here.
There are Two Other Houses here.
