I didn't think I would have to ask, but I feel like we haven't spent enough time together lately.

And I miss you, little brat.

[pidge_out]

you're probably right, actually... we should fix that

we could start by you telling me more about this meteor pokémon you left me

[tookashirototheknee]

Heck yes. You come up with something you want to do, and I'll be there. I do have some vacation from the observatory coming.

Oh, Minior's pretty awesome. If you use it in battle, it can even change form. It's rock and flying, but for some dumb reason doesn't learn many flying moves.

oh! why don't i come by and see what you do at the observatory?? shiro said you've been doing some really cool stuff there

wait, how does it change form?? wouldn't it not learn any moves like that because it's basically a rock?

Text - simple encryption

[tookashirototheknee]

Yes! Absolutely! If you find something there you want to do, I'm basically running the place, so I can get you a job.

I'm not entirely certain. I haven't battled a lot with Halley. And who knows why it's a flying type. Some of these creatures just make no sense at all.

seriously?? that'd be the best!! i mean i like trying to recreate killbot phantasm 2 and all, but working with you at the observatory would be way more productive

dude, they're so weird. like what's with all the bomb-like guys on the beach?

[tookashirototheknee]

Oh, heck yes! I've wanted to actually work with you since you showed up, but I didn't want you to feel like you had to. Want to come tomorrow? I'll give you a tour and we can figure out where you'd like to fit.

I have no idea what's up with all of those guys. One of them adopted me a while back. I call him Red Spot. I think he scares Mimi.

all you had to do was ask! i was actually worried you'd think i was ~cramping your style~ by hanging around you all day :P

how can it adopt you?? who's Mimi?

Text - simple encryption

[tookashirototheknee]

Never. I've always thought we're better as a team. Remember when we'd spend all summer reading and then telling each other what we learned? And then trying to see if we could see the moon base through our telescope?

Sometimes they just... decide to follow someone. Especially these little buggers. Ask Jean. I think they're mostly his. Or were before the population exploded like rabbits.

Mimi's my Mimikyu. She's the one in a Spheal costume. Kerberos is her best friend.

oh man, that was always the best. i still think i actually found it that one time and it wasn't just another crater shadow.

for no reason? i'm not so sure i'd want a living bomb following me around the beach, to be honest. and don't you have to hit them with a PokéBall?

oh... i don't think i've seen that one yet.

Text - simple encryption

[tookashirototheknee]

I still think you had the wrong crater. The entire thing was pointing the wrong way.

Usually, yeah, you do, but they are little creatures. Sometimes they just... take a shine to someone.

I really should have you meet my entire crew. They're all pretty awesome.

Re: Text - simple encryption

[pidge_out]

no it wasn't. that was definitely it!

oh. so you don't always have to do the catching thing? that's actually kind of a relief.

how many do you have?

Text - simple encryption

[tookashirototheknee]

Yeah, I don't like the idea that these little guys are forced to be with us.

Hm. Twelve, I think. I'll introduce you to them one of these days.

You know that big one that lumbers around and looks like an abominable snowman? He's mine. He's kinda like Shiro's therapy cat. Mostly he gives me hugs when I panic.

Text - simple encryption

[pidge_out]

yeah, me neither.

that's YOURS? i definitely thought that one belonged to Shiro.



are you having panic attacks?

Text - simple encryption

[tookashirototheknee]

Yeah, his original trainer left, and they were looking for a good home for him.

He's just a huge, huggy snowcreature.

... maybe a few.

Text - simple encryption

[pidge_out]

oh... well i'm glad you took him in, then.


how bad? why didn't you tell me?

Text - simple encryption

[tookashirototheknee]

Didn't want to worry you.

And... dont' ask. Just... don't.

[Matt's PTSD is much more hidden, but it's definitely there.]

Re: Text - simple encryption

[pidge_out]

[Easier said than done, Matt. She's going to have to worry quietly on her own, then.]

ok. just don't forget that i'm here for you too

Text - simple encryption

[tookashirototheknee]

I know, and that means so much.

I just... you don't need to know all the crap. I promise you're better off.

[There's a reason he's never shirtless around her.]

Text - simple encryption

[pidge_out]

i just want you to be ok, matt

i won't ask, just swear you'll tell me if you need anything

Text - simple encryption

[tookashirototheknee]

I know. That means a lot.

And yes, I will tell you. It might be the occasional request to just ramble at me about anything you want.

Text - simple encryption

[pidge_out]

that's easy for me to do and you know it :)

Text - simple encryption

[tookashirototheknee]

Oh, I know. Your rambling abilities are legend.

Text - simple encryption

[pidge_out]

yeah, i'm super impressive like that

Text - simple encryption

[tookashirototheknee]

You are extra super impressive at anything you do, dorkus
