For all that's true, for all you do

[ A note goes up on the fridge shortly after Chie signs the chicken petition on Monday: ]



[ Come 6 pm, she has prepared some coffee and tea so people can have something to drink while watching the shenanigans that will happen, as well as hot sauce as penalty for refusing a dare. So come here and have fun, y'all. ]

[shuttermouse]

Yup.

[ Aaaand she will set the timer to two minutes. God this is going to be an amazing show. She might even immortalize it; she has her instant camera with her, just in case. ]

[oftheland]

[...All right, here he goes! Yeah, it's... standing on your toes and making big sweeping motions and why is he so stiff, oh god, did being sick screw him up that badly

...he's still surprisingly graceful but man, you can see him wince every so often...]

...hey, aren't the guys in these supposed to lift someone up, anyway?

[...he hasn't stopped, mind.]

[shuttermouse]

[ Chie raises her camera and takes a picture, amusement flickering across her face.

God this hilarious and she loves it. ]

...Do you want to lift me up.

[ SHE'S TINY YOU CAN DO IT RIGHT ]

[oftheland]

...well, if you're okay with it, I'd love to complete this incredibly dignified and artistic performance.

[shuttermouse]

Of course I'm okay with it. [ Let her just set her camera aside; come on, let's do this. ]

[oftheland]

[hell yes, we're doing this. does chie weigh more or less than a thirteen years old boy? WHO KNOWS HE CAN PROBABLY LIFT HER NO PROBLEM ANYWAY

...so it's... hips-ish...?]

...apologies if any of this is awkward, I didn't pay that much attention to Swanna Lake...

[shuttermouse]

[ well she weighs about 84 lbs which is probably less than a thirteen year old boy ]

...Swanna? Is that the Pokémon equivalent of a swan?

[oftheland]

...I'm guessing so. It's... a white bird with a reputation for being graceful, right?

[...alright, so, gingerly lift her up by hips, then...? right. AND HOLD HER UP LIKE RAFIKI HOLDING UP SIMBA IN THE PYROAR KING. YES. THIS IS BALLET.]

[shuttermouse]

Yup! They're also sort of vicious.

[ She spreads her arms out wide when he lifts her up, like a bird taking flight. GOD THIS PROBABLY LOOKS RIDICULOUS... ]

[oftheland]

Ah. Well, I can see it, though they don't have as bad a reputation for that as some other Pokemon...

[you're queen of the world, chie.]

[shuttermouse]

[ and you're a graceful swan, giovanni. though it looks like those two minutes have passed... ]

How vicious are Jigglypuffs?

[ are those pink little things secretly killer rabbits... ]

[oftheland]

...you know, you might want to ask Blue about that, since she actually owns one. I've never had any difficulty with them, though, personally.

[shuttermouse]

Okay, I'll do that.

...Tell me about your Pokémon, Giovanni-san. I'm curious. [ His profile said he likes Ground-types, but she... doesn't really know much about those, other than that Sandshrew is one. ]

[oftheland]

[...oh, right, he should probably set her down before they go whole hog into Pokechat

...right, he'll do that.]

Ah, well, that might take a while, because I do have a lot. Like my profile states, I'm primarily interested in the Ground type, so I tend to train things like Rhydon, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Golem, Dugtrio... those sorts of things. Are you familiar with them at all...?

I do have several Pokemon outside of that mold, though. They're for more specialized purposes, although I have Beedrill because he's the one I've trained the longest. Cloyster, Crobat, and Aggron were mostly experiments, although Crobat's more for transportation than anything else.

[shuttermouse]

I vaguely recognize some of the names, but I don't know what they look like. [ Sorry, Giovanni.

She can guess Crobat is a bat, and that Beedrill is some unholy bee - which gives her an idea. She decides to draw something and then show it to Giovanni. ]

Does Beedrill look like this?

[ The 'drill' part of the name reminded her of Tsukiyama, so the result is... a beekaku. ]
