Second Rap [Video/Action in Ecruteak]
[When Dirk turns on his Pokegear, he’s leaning against a wall somewhere, bundled up in his ridiculous Christmas sweater. Maybe it’s hard to tell thanks to his habit of wearing sunglasses all the time, but to those who know him, he might seem kind of tired.]
A word of advice for future Christmases. If you’re planning on getting your friend an egg, first figure out how many of their other friends are giving them eggs too. Otherwise, they might have five eggs hatch on the same day.
[At this point, Dirk turns the SFC around to show a collection of baby pokemon at his feet, including a Ralts, Charmander, Houndour, Feebas, and Ponyta. As soon as Dirk’s attention is directed to them, they all start clamoring for attention.]
Anyone else have the same problem?
action;
[ And she'll nod cheerfully. ] Shoot!
action;
[He points to each pokemon in turn.]
The Ralts'll be Kamina, no question. Ponyta's getting some ridiculous racehorse name, once I find a good one. Thinking Réaumur and Delisle for the Houndour and Charmander- those are temperature measurement scales from Earth, seemed appropriate for the fire types.
[And, finally, he just. Stares at the Feebas.]
That one's Jake.
action;
Aradia will nod along with the names, and while there might be a pause at the end - mostly because of the staring at the Feebas and the awkward feeling that comes from knowing about the romantic issues from Jake and Jane so far - she's still smiling. ] Kamina sounds pretty! So do Réaumur and Delisle. And I don't know any hoofbeast names, I'm afraid.
[ ...And now she should probably address Jake. ] Because he named pokemon after all of you, or because something about him reminds you of Jake?
[ because she doesn't see a connection right now ]
action;
I'll think of something, but they're all ridiculous, trust me.
Because it's ironic. Also because he got it for me, and he won't know how to react to having this world's equivalent of a monkfish named after him.
[Also because of what it evolves into.]
action;
A monkfish? [ She's not sure how it's ironic, so she's not touching that for the moment. ]
action;
action;
At least we've got plenty of pokemon around the same level, so they can train off of one another.
action;
That'll be no end of useful. I'd figure something out, but it's probably better to get them fighting plenty of different types early on.
action;
action;
[After Jane left, he's been wondering how long this group will stick, before someone decides to split. He's been wondering if it will be him, because he and Jake sure did kiss at New Years, and they definitely haven't been talking about it.]
action;
[ She's a little surprised, really; she fully expected her antisocial friend to ditch the group at the first chance. But she does eye Dirk after a moment, considering what she does know about the whole...Jake's quadrants thing. ] Or are you considering leaving us behind?
action;
[Dirk shrugs.]
action;
Well, it's nice to have you while you're here! Jake missed you, and Sollux seems to like you.
[ "tolerate" is equivalent to "like", right? ]
action;
Like I said, I'm not planning on leaving now.
[For Sollux, probably.]
action;
action;
If I ever need an eggsitter and I can't manage to draft Jake into helping, I'll call on you.
