Third Splinter ♡ Video|Action for Ecruteak Housemates ♡

[The feed turns on first to show Dirk's Wingull, perched neatly atop his hair as per usual, looking pleased as punch. Dirk then tilts it down to show his own face, wearing a crooked grin as he brings it down from where he'd obviously been holding it up to show the Pokémon off on his gear.]

So as a generalized guesstimation, how long does it take most people to name their Pokémon? Curiosity, since it took me forever to name this little asshole.

His name's Squarewave, by the way.

Hey, Dave, when do you figure we ought to get the fuck out of here and stop mooching off your best friend and his sister?

[For castmates in Casa de Eglonde in Ecruteak, Dirk is perched on the arm of the couch in the living room with his gear and his Wingull, doing nothing in particular.]

Oh my God I walked right into that one.

You did.

What made you call him Squarewave?

Name of a robot I made back home he somewhat resembles.

You built a robot that resembles a seagull?

Ah, not... visually. Personality-wise, you could say. Squarewave's little and vaguely person-shaped, but he's kind of like an annoying little brother.
Built a bunny robot before though. Could probably build a seagull.

Why a bunny in particular?

He was to be a guardian for Jane if she were in trouble.
Jane's sort of a precious little bunny herself, so it seemed fitting.

...

Is that the sort of thing you could do here, as well?

Given the proper tools and materials, I don't see why not.
Something in mind?

The opposite, actually.

I don't like robotic animals.

Fair enough. Should I come upon the means I'll be sure to keep them out of your vicinity.
Any reason for the aversion?

A classmate of mine had something like that.

I found it fairly annoying.

Ah.
Any particular creatures I should aim to especially avoid, then?
I don't think it'll be too hard for me to get back into robotics, here.
Just don't wanna step on any toes or nothin'.

Why? It's your prerogative to make whatever you want.

Well yeah, but that way I don't want to send you into horrific flashbacks of your classmate's obnoxious creature or anything.
Shit's rude.

I don't think there's much likelihood of that.

If you've ever seen a Zangoose, it looked something like that.

[It takes him a moment to respond, likely because he's looking up what a Zangoose looks like.]

That... is one hell of an angry-looking cat-ferret-thing.
I can assure you I won't be making any of those in my right mind.

So you can understand why I found it unpalatable.

[Dammit, Kirigiri.]

Visually, at the very least.
I mean I guess it kind of takes a normally-cute appearance and makes it look what might be considered "badass" by some people but I personally think it just looks kind of silly.
Watch, I'm going to wind up catching one somehow on complete accident.

They're supposed to be good if you have an aversion to snakes. Apparently that particular breed doesn't like Seviper very much.

Huh.
Well, I'm sort of ambivalent to snakes, so I guess that all works out.

Speaking of things working out, I met Jake.

[Well that's certainly a subject change.]

Oh yeah?

[What no she is totally subtle who are you kidding.]

Is that a problem?

No, why would it be?
I mean he's here now, he kind of tends to make his presence known.
I just hope he didn't make too much of a fool out of himself.
Or me, for that matter.
