imthe_shit | 002 [ video ; action for any ferrygoers ]

[ There's a strange humming sound when the feed clicks on, that of some kind of a machine. Boss, Snake's Torkoal, is in view once more, a pillow propped against him and leaning on that pillow was none other than Snake himself, having discarded the bandage and pleasantly smoking a cigarette. The wound has scarred over, but it doesn't look as painful anymore. He had a leg propped up on his knee and the two of them were sitting on what looked like a couch in some sort of lounge, the PokeGear atop a coffee table. The old soldier looks over at the feed and gestures to it, cigarette in hand. ]

Turns out this ferry'll take me to a new region... Might as well try something new while I'm here. I'm not into nostalgia anyway. [ Coughs a bit before taking another drag from his cigarette. Boss snorts, smoke continously billowing from its nostrils... It always looked grumpy, but maybe it didn't mind being used like a compress. ]

I'm traveling with Six. Most of our money's gone, but we'll find work in the new region... If anyone's in Pallet, feel free to say hi. [ Smirks. ] We've been on here a day... Captain says just two days left.

[ Leans back on the pillow, letting the warmth from the Torkoal's body soothe his poor back. ]

Maybe... Once he gets over himself. [ Reaches his arm back to push on Boss's face a bit before withdrawing. Snake looks down at the picture while it's being drawn, making a bit of an interested sound. ]

You'd do well as an artist here. People'd probably want to buy your work.

Maybe? That... that would be nice. If someone... liked it.

[He's not used to people liking what he draws. If the picture of the Seamstress is of any indication, he's pretty used to some terrifying things]

Only nice things though. Only the nice things.

[ Some people like scary stuff, anyway. ]

You could find a buyer for the scarier stuff, too... But it might be better for your own sanity to draw the nicer things.

[ Points at the drawing of Boss. ] Like that. People love that kind of thing.

They do?

[He looks down at the picture, before holding it out to Snake.]

Y-you... you can have it. If you want. It... it is yours.

[ Snake blinks at the picture, sitting up again, a low growl rumbling in his throat as he takes hold of it with two hands. ]

... Hhn... Thanks. It's good. [ Shows it to Boss. ] What do you think?

[ The Torkoal looks at the picture, the smoke ceasing to come from his nostrils for the moment. It cocks its head, pressing its nose to the drawing before snorting, withdrawing its head again. Snake smirks. ] That's the best thank you he can muster, I guess.

You are... welcome. I hope... I hope you like it.

[He gathers ralts into his arms, taking a break from drawing for the time being]

[ Nods, lying back down and looking the drawing over before placing it on his chest, closing his eyes. ]

You come to any conclusion about what you want to do here yet?

I don't know...

[He didn't really do anything at home, no one ever let him.]

Stay with Miss. Um... see things?

Not planning on being a trainer, huh?

[ Glances at him. ]

Battling doesn't seem to be your forte...

No fighting. I don't... like fighting. I do not want to fight.

Got it... Then I'll do the fighting for the both of us.

[ He waves a hand. ] You'd probably be better off as a Breeder... Don't think you have to fight at all.

Good. No fighting. Miss doesn't... like fighting either.

[He gently strokes the ralts' head, looking quite pleased that she won't have to battle]

Safe and sound.

[ He grunts at that, smirking. ]

You might get to care for a lot of eggs, too... If I remember right.

Eggs? I know... about eggs. Yes. Birds make them? Miss might... make some too?

Pokemon come from eggs here. A breeder's job is to raise those eggs. [ Or give a million of them away or something. ]

I can do that! I can do that. That... that sounds good.

Hn. Good. [ Gestures at him, a bit of a smirk on his face. ] Then if I ever need a babysitter, I'll know who to rely on.

Babysitter. Sit on the baby?

... Hn?

Nnno. It's a... term for someone who looks after kids while their parents are away.

Oh. Watcher. I can do that.

Not sitting. Watching. Baby watcher.

... Yeah, I guess that makes a bit more sense. [ Please don't sit on his babies. Er. Pokemon. ]

Hn. If you're not going to do any fighting, I guess that means your Ralts is going to be your only partner, huh?

If... If others want to come, that is okay.

Maybe... I will find a Mister... for Miss.

Going to play matchmaker? [ Can't help but smile a bit at that. ]

Matchmaker matchmaker make me a match.

Miss needs a Mister.

[ Nods, putting a hand to his forehead. ]

So... You want to find a partner for your Pokemon... Same species?
