Feather 12 [Video]

[usedfeatherdance]

[ Not that January 1st was actually Joshua's birthday instead of just being a handy date to roll up his age one more year, but Joshua couldn't help the feeling that somehow Johto had hatched his shiny new egg into a... well, shiny new male fox, of all things, this day on purpose.

It probably could only have been more on the mark if the thing had been some combination of grey, blue, and/or purple. ]

Since this isn't exactly the first time it seems everyone spontaneously obtained an egg all at once, I'm going to ask a different question. Do we have any idea what determines which Pokemon we each receive?

[ And if anyone happens to be in Cianwood, Joshua can be found towards the outskirts of the city, sitting sideways on an Absol, Espeon on shoulder and a newly hatched golden Vulpix on his lap, all four of them watching as a Luxray happily bounds about on the sand and knocks out any Pokemon it scares up with its antics. ]

Wha --


Not that kind of "thing"!!

[ HIM AND HYUUGA-SENSEI? He can't even imagine it -- ]

Haruka Nanami is my number one! I'm going to be her hero!

[ /lolling ]

Really? Are you sure you're the hero type?

[licentious]

Not a very successful one. [ Despite being walking male aphrodisiac. Her name is Lust after all. ]

They can be fairly odd when you're speaking to them, and it seems entirely up to chance as to whether you'll have a normal conversation with them or if they'll simply just ramble at you about how much they like shorts.

[video]

[usedfeatherdance]

...

...

Shorts.

[ Guess who managed to avoid that one. ]

[usedfeatherdance]

It seems like the sort of thing that starts difficult and gets easier as time goes on. Of course, that does require the effort of getting there.

...he was visiting relatives in Johto, even, so it's not like he's one of those people who just stands in one place for the whole day, either...

[licentious]

Well, it's not so much my pokémon not breeding. It's more that I have nothing to actually breed. Either they're in different groups that would not allow for breeding to happen, or they're the same sex and, obviously, cannot reproduce.

[usedfeatherdance]

... Well, I can't say there aren't people who would talk your ear off all day about a single topic back where I come from, but usually they pick more reasonable topics, like games.

[usedfeatherdance]

Can't you solve that by catching more?

[ Says the trainer with four things in the same group, only one of which is female. And she's monogamous. ]

[licentious]

I could, but I don't see any reason to. I think Johto is a bit too reliant on eggs.

[ And she's not a charity, nor does she want to aid these types of people. Or people in general, but you know how that is. ]

[video]

[syochan]

I'm definitely the hero type, all right?!

[ strikes a pose--!! ]

-- Well, when it comes to her, anyway...!

[video]

[enjoymyatelier]

...I can't say I think that's much better, but given how many kinds of games there are out there, at least there would be some variety. There is really only so much you can say about shorts.

[video]

[usedfeatherdance]

What a shame! Does that mean if you saw someone in trouble, you'd only save that person if they were her?

[video]

[usedfeatherdance]

Oh, no, just one game in particular. Tin Pin Slammer. I don't suppose you've heard of it? It's quite popular with the kids nowadays. Popular enough that some will talk for hours if you let them.

[usedfeatherdance]

Possibly. But considering how difficult it seems to be to find some of these creatures in the wild, I can't say I'm entirely surprised. It's just how this world expects you to make most of your money.

[video]

[syochan]

Okay, I guess you have a point there --


-- Well, if I could help someone else that was in trouble, I'd do that too, then!

There's only so much I can do, really, but...!

[ at least he's being honest? ]

[video]

[enjoymyatelier]

...No, it's not something I've heard of. Is it something that's native to this world...?

[video]

[usedfeatherdance]

So are you the hero type? Or do you just want to be?

[video]

[usedfeatherdance]

I haven't heard of it in this world. Then again, this world is a video game in my world, so who even knows how these things work?

[licentious]

I understand if they're rare to find, but, to me, that inspires travel and a little hard work.

What I do not get are the masses buying things like Caterpie eggs.

[video]

[syochan]

I want to be!

And I will be!

Even if my body is small and weak, I'll do it!

[ he's pretty confident about that, yes. ]

[video]

[enjoymyatelier]

Yes... I've heard that's the case, and I've always found it to be bizarre. I haven't heard of the game that seems to be based on this world, but then again, I'm not exactly one to keep up with popular culture.

[video]

[usedfeatherdance]

A noble goal. I hope you reach it. The world can always use more heroes, hee hee.

[usedfeatherdance]

Now what would be interesting is if someone here was from a game or some sort in someone else's world. Or perhaps there's a hierarchy, and we're all from worlds one level above this one, yet below others.
