What's the general average of Pokémon caught versus time spent here, guys? I feel like I'm way fuckin' behind since I haven't got many. I guess maybe I'm just picky.
Oh.

[He switches to Video, hoisting his Riolu into the field of vision. He-- smiles, moreso than he grins, which is probably an odd sight to most.] This is Roxy. And, uh-- Sawtooth, stop chopping up tree branches y'fuckin' nerd, get over here. [The gear moves around in a dizzying motion as Dirk sets Roxy down and carries the gear to a nearby tree, in which his Skarmory is perched and, as mentioned, chopping away at tree branches with his wings. Dirk sighs.] Smile for the camera, dummy.

Well havent you been busy as a bee with new additions!

Um. That sounded better in my head than when i typed it.
Actually i dont think ive gotten a good gander at them.

Theyre positively adorable!

_{[ also jake where are you at you're in his travel group. ]}

Way to make it sound like I'm popping out Pokémon eggs like some kind of fucked up inter-species mpreg fanfiction, Jake.
Here. Roxy's a little shy still, but Sawtooth's a camera whore.

[He flicks the video function on and clicks his tongue, trying to get the Riolu's attention. The gear shakes a little as he flops to sit at the base of the tree his Skarmory is still hacking away at, so there are leaves and bits of bark raining down around him. Eventually the Riolu circles around behind the tree and peers out from behind it, and Dirk just grins between where he knows she's hiding and his gear.]

I've only caught two but they were gifts for some friends of mine. The rest of my team I either hatched from eggs and one was adopted, and I've been here for nearly four months now, so I guess I'd be pretty behind as far as catching things goes.

_{[ wow it was weird seeing Dirk grin like that.
So of course Jake is going to say that. ]}

I dont mean to sound rude or anything.
But golly-bab i dont think ive seen you grin like that in awhile.

Ah, good to know. I've been here about the same, since Thanksgiving.

[He's. So much happier of a person here than he has ever been in his life ever for any reason.]

[But, caught in his out of character behavior, his pale skin burns an embarrassed pink and he hunches his shoulders, grumbling a little. He opts to reply via text instead of speaking to the video.]

Could go back to being a stoic unexpressive asshole if you'd prefer.

Oh dont take it as an invitation to be a sour-pussy again.

But it makes me relieved to see you in higher spirits than the norm.
Just a little unusual.
Thats all im trying to say.

[He huffs. Hates himself for the way Jake saying sweet shit like that makes it a little hard to breathe. Closes his eyes, nodding.]

Carefree Pokémon Trainer life has done me wonders, I guess.

Well im pleased you found something better to do in your past time.
I wouldnt consider myself a trainer of sorts.

Not precisely sure what the heckfire im actually doing here.
I feel pretty frazzled about this entire idea if i were to be brutally honest.

Honestly I think a lot of it is the fire pony. I have my own fucking pony now, Jake. Do you know what this means to me.

I think frazzled is a pretty constant state of being for you.
But I'm pretty chill with this setup, what're you having trouble with?

Im actually terrified to know what that means to you if i were to be utterly honest with myself currently.

Um.
I suppose the responsibility of it all.

_{[ he's always been pretty irresponsible, you know this. ]}

I've been here just over a year, and I've had as many as seventy-two at one time. The box can only hold that many, just so you know.

[Is she bragging yes she is.]

dirk strider did you name one of your pokemon after me
im so touched

janey said you were here
sup
did you miss me
the answer to the above should be y btw

Hah.
I like horses, though. You know that. Owning one-- weird fictional fire horse or otherwise --is pretty awesome.

...Guess I never looked at it that way. It's a bit much to shoulder.
You might be able to be a breeder, instead? Talk to Jane. All you'd have to worry about then was making sure you paired Pokémon up and like each other enough to do the nasty and make little Pokémon sproglings.

Well shit. Good to know, at least. Seventy-two is a pretty big number of pets to look after, jeez.

Hell yes I did.
You can't tell me you're surprised.
It's Void-blue and all about feelings and auras and shit.
It's totally you in two-foot adorable Pokémon form.

Also yeah about that when the hell did you even get here?
It's been a couple of days since I've checked my gear, but shit.
Kind of a monumental arrival I've missed, that's gonna go on my permanent record.
Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?

And the answer is yes.
I named a Riolu after you for fuck's sake I think that says embarrassingly enough.

Though she's still you in two-foot adorable Pokémon form.

Well, it's not like you have all seventy-two of them out at once. For whatever reason, it won't let you have more than six out at a time, usually.

[She laughs a little and offers a sheepish shrug, but she doesn't look all that embarrassed about it.]

Most people only have about thirty or so, I think. You haven't been here all that long, right?

[Just hit send. Just...just hit it. Just hit the reply button just do it--]

Excuse me. I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but is there really a standard for catching Pokemon like that?

[It took about five minutes of writing and rewriting the text to finally post her question. And even after it's posted, she kind of wishes she could just delete it. Nevermind! Ignore her question! But if she said anything now, that would just make it worse. Plus she genuinely wants to know...

So sorry for any future long pauses in this conversation.]

Well, no, but not having them out at once doesn't mean you can't take care of them.

[Shrugs one shoulder in exchange.]

Since just before Thanksgiving, so the end of November. About three months.

Eh?
No no, you're fine. I'm not the right person to ask, though-- I bought both Sawtooth and Roxy as eggs, I didn't catch 'em.
I could ask my brother for you, though. He's got a shit ton of 'mon.

[He isn't quite fully aware of her awkwardness with questioning him, as the text comes across relatively resolute, so he just sort of shrugs and ponders the topic.]

I'm sorry! I didn't mean to assume!

[Way to go Tsumiki. Judging a book by it's cover. Or his text or whatever. While that text was quick, the next one takes some thought.

This person could as his brother...that would be helpful to know. At the same time though...]

No, that's okay! I wouldn't want to inconvenience anyone. Would it be alright if I asked another question, though?

i dont think there is one really!
its just whatever you feel like
some people get a lot
some people dont
i think knowing your limit is a good thing really
