Replying...
Intro. Greetings, newcomer. I am Bartholomew, though most just call me Barty. I'm a local... fixture, I suppose you could say. Don't expect much in the way of pleasantries from me, I'm not exactly in high spirits at the moment. You look like you're new to this pond. Be warned, this place is full of snakes and lily pads and the worst of pond scum. Stick around me if you want to avoid trouble. Or don't. See if I care.

Bartholomew 'Barty' Croaker
