Precisely. Either they're extremely aggressive or they're relatively well mannered... though I think some of them have been a bit sarcastic with me.

You can't really complain too much about that, though.

[pipers_son]

We'll be eagerly awaitin' yer visit, then!

[Time to figure out what the hell you can even do with keys]

[aufsassig]

...Actually, hang on.

[Click click click huh.]

Violet City, they say the slogan around here is "the City of Nostalgic Scents". So there you go, maybe.

[aufsassig]

Actually, I've got a project in the works right now — it's in the hands of someone else in your department, though I think it's probably a separate division. That's how we've been operating, I do the field work and he makes the magic happen back home.

With any luck, it'll be a real blast once it goes off.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[aha, join the club]

That's true. I'll send one over.

[...]

Uh, do you have problems with strong smells?

[ortion]

Is that right?

[He thinks he can make an educated guess as to who that might be, considering the Science Department isn't as large as it used to be.

He picks up on that little hint well enough too.]

It sounds like you've got some real teamwork going; that's good. I look forward to what you and your partner come up with. We could always use more excitement coming from our ranks.

[ossifragant]

[Yes it is!]

Of course.

[ossifragant]

[He barely manages to stop himself from laughing. It's not because the pun is horrible (though it kind of is), but because it genuinely amuses him.]

Thanks. It's appreciated.

[lieutenantantichrist]

Sure you can.

[Blake's voice is eerily even, while there is something not fully sane about his gaze.

A little pink bird hops onto his head, tweets melodiously, and nestles into his hair.]

You can have a whole pillowcase full of them.

[diehardreaper]

It is, circumstances and all!

[ Have a laugh at that. ]

Right then, pleasure to meet you, Atsuro! How's this world treating you, then?

[diehardreaper]

[ Heh, yeah okay. This one's cute. ]

And a bit mad as hops, the way I see it but as you said: adds to the charm. Not giving you too much trouble though, are they?

[in_praetego]

Sure. I'll see you around.

[ Yeeeeeah how do friends s i g h but this is a good start, right? ]

[captainash]

Why would you? It just makes training them more challenging and interesting.

[in_praetego]

Trading's pretty flexible when it comes to these new ones that suddenly started swarming.

I just wish we knew more about them at this point.

[in_praetego]

That's true.

[ But hey, enough brooding from both of them. ]

Don't worry. I'll find the perfect one for you. I'm sure it'll be in good hands.

[islandshore]

They jangle their keys.

[Wait, that's stupid to ask. He just saw it over the network. Still, he pinches the bridge of his nose, heaving a slightly exaggerated sigh.]

But do they have any atacks? There's gotta be more to them than making noise.

[islandshore]

Oh, there's a ton. Dragons, giant dogs, living trash bags, magnets, and ice cream cones. Ghosts, rock monsters, about a million different kinds of fish... There just arne't any dolphins, tigers, peacocks, or koalas for some reason.

[lieutenantantichrist]

Just some little pain in the ass birds who smell like perfume sample cards.

[He observes the little things.]

Looks like they don't like you much. You piss em off?

[pipers_son]

Lookin' forward ta it!

[islandshore]

Yeah, you too. So, uh... Take care of the icicle guy, all right? And let me know if you learn anything about them-- I'll be sure to do the same with the lizard.

[The lack of Pokédex info means they're all walking in blind. Might as well swap notes or something.]

[islandshore]

It might just be because I've already got a giant, flaming puppy to worry about. I gotta cut back somewhere, and those pandas have way too much attitude to pass up.

[They kinda remind him of himself when he was a bit pluckier. Just... you know, a lot fuzzier.]

[enjoymyatelier]

I'm eagerly awaiting the chance to see whatever you come up with, then.

[aw yeah. creative uses of pokemon.]

[enjoymyatelier]

Well, I don't take lip from the majority of humans, either. I can't simply let myself have some sort of strange double standard like that, after all.

[enjoymyatelier]

Yes. They... jangle them.

[To be fair, even if they can see it, it's the sort of thing you kind of just want to say, as if it will somehow make it less goddamn weird.]

Anyway, I haven't observed them trying to use any on me just yet, so I can't really say. I'll have to experiment when things calm down a bit.

[enjoymyatelier]

Ah, those things. I was... really randomly gifted one already, actually, so I won't be requesting one.

And... I don't know, I suppose I did. I caught one and they decided the best course of action would be to angrily jangle at me.
