+19+ Moving day [action/accidental voice]

[fellpool]

[Backdated to February 3.

The sky is relatively clear, but the incoming clouds, thick and bright against sky, hint at snowy weather around the corner. It's with that in mind that Leon (fellpool), Precis (rocketpunch), and Claude (mirrorblade) move their belongings from community building 1 to their new house, house 59.

Yep, that's right -- a trek from one side of the village to the other. There will be return trips, breaks, and maybe some unpacking going on today, so there's no shortage of places to see the trio today.

It's while Leon is rolling his teleportaton barrel that his journal falls out of his bag. He doesn't hear it over the sounds of the wood against the ground, but he is able to hear his pet cat meow in complaint behind him.]

What is it, Filia? [The journal may catch the sound of the cat meowing and Leon's footsteps as he walks back.] Man, it fell out again...? I should've just thrown it in one of the suitcases. C'mon, let's go -- this barrel isn't gonna move itself.


(ooc: Action threads may be pounced upon by one, two, or all three of them! If you'd like to catch Leon, Precis, or Claude alone, please specify that somewhere in the thread.)

[ooc; If she's wearing her hat, then there's pretty much no way for her to know, right? But if she saw the ponytail...]

[Robbie responds by moving up and down a little, clearly acknowledging being called but not doing much else. He's partially remote-controlled, after-all.]

He's not really a talker. Maybe I should add something like that in the future, though. Who are your companions, though?

[moehealer]

[Technically, yep! I'm not really hounding anyone for knowing she's a girl right off the bat though, so it's up to you. <3

Yellow laughs a bit at Robbie's response. That's so cool...]

If you can do that, that would be really neat! But um.. They're my friends from home. Their names are Chuchu and Dody. [She gestures to them respectively, and they wave to Precis.]

[rocketpunch]

Soooo, what are they? [She squats down so she can get a closer look. Hmm...Chuchu is kinda cute.] Are they really exotic pets or something?

[moehealer]

[Chuchu's gonna go ahead and sniff you now, Precis.. (And wow did I say Dody before? I meant Ratty hnn)] Kind of! They're not really that exotic to me, but I guess they are to a lot of people here. They're called Pokémon. Chuchu here is a Pikachu, and Ratty's a Raticate.

[rocketpunch]

Well, they don't look like normal animals, or the normal monsters I usually have to deal with. [She's just going to try and pet Chuchu while she thinks that over. Is there really an in-between like that? It's kind of cool.] They're pretty cool.

[moehealer]

Well, some people at home do call them Pocket Monsters, since when they're in their Pokéballs, they can fit inside your pocket. What kinds of monsters do you have at home though? [Not sure if she literally means monsters or just.. scary animals. :'|a]

[rocketpunch]

Really, really scary ones! When my dad goes out to gather supplies, it's like, I get REALLY worried. I hate it when he goes out alone, because they attack people all the time.

[moehealer]

Huh... That doesn't sound too good.. Why do they attack people though? [They must have a good reason... right?! Except she's sure Precis' dad wouldn't do anything bad to them..]

[rocketpunch]

What do you mean? They're real monsters, soooo...some protect their territory, but a bunch of 'em just want to eat us. So we have to take care of 'em ourselves.

[moehealer]

Ohh... I see. [Though even then, it's still kind of saddening to hear that... Oh well.] At least you guys are able to do that though! I guess it would be dangerous otherwise.. [you know, rather than getting eaten.]

[rocketpunch]

If they were all cute and nice like yours, though, we totally wouldn't have a problem. It's dangerous to even go from one city to the next without a few people.

[moehealer]

Well it can sometimes be that way back at home too, since there are some dangerous Pokémon, so... [yeah.. :'|a Even then though...!

But now Ratty comes on over to sniff Precis' hand too...]

[rocketpunch]

[She's going to keep petting Chuchu, though. Because she's so much cuter. ♥ In fact, her bias is kind of a bit obvious, since she barely pets Ratty before going back to Chuchu. Oops.]

So, were these guys dangerous once, then? Or are they more like pets? I mean, do you have normal animals, too?

[moehealer]

[Wow, rude, Precis! Ratty doesn't like you either... (but it's okay; he doesn't mind..)]

Nope! There are just Pokémon back at home. There aren't any animals like the ones here. [Or like the ones she hears about.] All of mine were wild ones before I got them, but even then, they weren't really dangerous or anything.

[rocketpunch]

[Rude, Ratty! No girl likes rats, oka--oh. Wait.]

Oh, wait....so they're all Pokémon? Do you like...eat them, too, then?

[moehealer]

[Hey. Hey. I like rats! They're cute...]

Yep! I guess it's kind of like how people eat steak and stuff here? But they're made from Pokemon back at home. [...] I'm a vegetarian though, so I don't eat them. Other people do though.

[rocketpunch]

It's kinda sad to think that something as cute as this one could end up like food...all these worlds are really different, huh? It's not like we can eat monsters at home, since they're all poisonous or slimy.

[moehealer]

Yeah... That's why I don't eat them. A lot of people like them though, so... [And Farfetch'd are a delicacy!]

Are all of the ones from your home poisonous or slimy though? We have some Pokémon that are like that, but not all of them.. [Like Grimer! Ick. Eating a Grimer sounds gross.]

[rocketpunch]

So, are you a vegetarian here, too, then? Since they aren't, like, common or anything. [It would be so hideous if someone found a frozen Farfetch'd in the grocery store.]

Yeah, most of them are more teeth than meat, y'know? Really tough types. There are a few smaller ones, but most of 'em are scaly and gross.

[moehealer]

Yep. Because even if Pokémon aren't served here as food, animals still are. So I wouldn't want to eat those either. [Plus she's so used to not eating meat in the first place, so it'd be kind of weird.]

Ohhh... The ones in your world really do sound kind of scary then. [They all sound so dangerous... sob. Yellow's kind of conflicted on how she should feel about them..!]

[rocketpunch]

I think I get it. Man, when you think about it like that, I kinda feel bad for the poor animals. [Just not enough to stop. Oh, wait, it's Precis. She'll say that part out loud, too.] I'm still going to eat meat, though.

I think that's my favorite icon of Precis'. :'|a

[moehealer]

[Oh Precis..]

That's fine! You should eat what you like, right? [Not like Yellow's going to ask Precis to stop just because she's against it herself. ...besides, everyone in her house is already meat-obsessed.]

It's a cute one!

[rocketpunch]

Right! So, um...hey, do you think you can bring them over again sometime? They look like they're a lot of fun, too, but Leon's probably going to get mad at me if I don't start helping soon.

It is!

[moehealer]

Sure! I'll make sure to bring Dody over too then. Sorry for keeping you though.

[have fun with that moving]

[rocketpunch]

O-oh, no, you weren't keeping me keeping me, you know? I'd rather keep talking to you. They just wouldn't know what to do without me. We can meet later, right?
