Um, does anyone want a sword?

[Al is fairly well surrounded by the things, all making much more rattling than is strictly necessary, thankyouverymuch! Jeez, what is with these guys? The pumpkin things weren't nearly this bad...]

[Al manages to catch one in his arms and strokes the sheath part, which seems to calm the Honedge somewhat.] They're all nervous about something, but I can't tell what...and for the record, don't touch the sash part. I've already been swatted by them three times for that.

[paladinlost]

Has its own post because Cecil will talk at you about swords for a hundred comments if you let him.

[in_praetego]

I think they like you... but I wouldn't mind taking one off your hands for you.

[ A frown though. ]

I don't think the nervousness is just the swords though... some of mine have been a little more on edge than usual.

[awesmazings]

[...Those are so cool and Jimmy is the last person who should be getting one.

But nobody is here to stop him.

He's getting one.]

I'll take one! Those guys look so neat! I don't think I've ever seen a Pokemon that looks like a sword before.

[Fun fact: Carmen Sandiego really likes dinosaurs. However, her love for dinosaurs is still mildly eclipsed by her typical policy of not putting video of her face on the network, so she's splitting the difference instead by offering up a short video (almost a Vine, really) of a whole pack of the little guys in action, accompanied shortly thereafter by a text.]

[2:15 PM] I'm sure I'm not the only one who's always wanted my own dinosaur; if you're interested in giving one a good home, I'll see if I can't oblige.

[2:16 PM] Though, in the interest of caveat emptor: they might Cretaceous a fair amount of havoc, if left unsupervised.

[2:18 PM] Tyrannosaurus Rex, after all.

[2:18 PM] He leaves it to someone else to clean up his mess. :)

Were the puns really necessary?

[bertall]

[He likes you so much right now, Carmen.]

Why can't there be dinosaurs where I am?

[awesmazings]

[WOAH DINOSAURS stop the presses.]

Haha, could I have one, please?

[Jimmy appreciates the heck out of those puns, Carmen.]

[doitrockapella]

[The puns were super necessary, don't even.]

No bones about it.

[solas_ion]

[Not included: the facepalm and deafening groan of 'WHY']

You're killing me here. And I'm already dead a couple times over.

[doitrockapella]

It's a period in history from whence this particular dinosaur's look-alike came.

Would you like any two, or should I try to pick out a pair of friends?

[doitrockapella]

I always did have a knack for being in the right place at the right time.

[doitrockapella]

You certainly can. Where am I sending it, care of whom, and what kind would you like me to try to grab for you?

[doitrockapella]

So are the dinosaurs.

It's nice to see that they, like you, have a knack for coming back.

[bertall]

you mean they were real???? how come theyre not around anymore?

but ummmmm
friends would be nice
itd be a little sad if they didnt get along right?

[solas_ion]

Yeah, back on subject.

They're actually kind of cute. What would you want for one of 'em?

[ossifragant]

So it seems.

Think you can get me a couple? I still have a pink bird who could do with a home if you're interested in a trade.

[awesmazings]

Cherrygrove City, Jimmy Two-Shoes, and

[The text breaks off here as Jimmy watches the video Carmen put up again.

...hm.]

If you could maybe find one that's kindof playful? That'd be great.

[video, just because]

[paladinlost]

...I cannot say I've ever wanted a Dinozombie of my own before, but they look much more charming with a smaller size and flesh on their bones. I promise you, I have plenty of experience in dealing with messes and havoc of all kinds.

[He probably means it as something positive. Probably.]

[Tobias also really really loves dinosaurs.]

I want one. Uh. Please.

I don't have much to trade but I might be able to find something.

[doitrockapella]

The short version is, they went extinct; mankind isn't entirely sure why, but the prevalent theory is a comet striking the earth and ushering in an Ice Age as a result.

As for these little ones, I'll watch them a bit and pick out a pair that look friendly toward each other, if you like.
