[Kiki has thankfully discovered the video function with the help of her newfound friends! As a result, the feed clicks on to her smiling face, tired line beneath her eyes. She waves.]

Hi everybody. I hope this is working...my egg hatched!

[Excitedly, she turns the camera, showing off a short little Minccino...busily dusting off everything, using his tail as a duster.]

He really, really likes cleaning. I named him Sweep. Stop dusting and say hello, Sweep!

[At the sound of his name, the Minccino perks up, turning towards Kiki with a happy peep. She giggles, turning the camera back to herself. She looks a bit sad.]

Did any of you have pets back home? Just curious. [A beat.]

Um, yeah. Bye!

WHAT?
WE ARE A VIOLENT, BLOOD THIRSTY RACE.
SHOULD WE BE TRYING RAINBOWS AND SHITTING BUTTERFLIES INSTEAD?

[papshooshing]

YOU MEAN GO OUTSIDE AND FREEZE MY NUBS OFF?
HAHAHA, YEAH I TRIED THAT THE OTHER DAY.
I WAS REWARDED WITH A WAYWARD EEVEE FOR MY EFFORTS.
YEAH, I'M NOT ABOUT TO DO THAT AGAIN.

The pokémon are pretty easy to care for, even if some of them can be a handful.

[ Her gaze flicks off-screen, and she gives a pointed "yeah, I mean you" look to whatever's there. Her Pidgeot lets out an indignant cry in response. ]

[broomwithaview]

Your language is really bad! You shouldn't say that kind of stuff!
That's no excuse to be mean.

[This can only end in tears.]

[clawshot]

Is there something wrong with Eevees?

[papshooshing]

MY LANGUAGE USAGE IS NOT UNLIKE THE REST OF US, SORRY TO SAY.
I MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT MORE CREATIVE IN MY USE OF METAPHORS, BUT ULTIMATELY LANGUAGE IS A FLUID THING.
IN OTHER WORDS, NONE OF US REALLY GIVE TWO FLYING FUCKS ABOUT HOW WE COME ACROSS.
THIS IS HOW WE ARE RAISED
DEAL WITH IT, LIKE WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH YOUR CULTURAL HOOFBEAST SHIT.
I AM A TROLL AND I'M NOT ABOUT TO COMPLETELY CONFORM TO HUMAN SOCIETY.
IN MY POINT OF VIEW, YOU'RE THE ONE BEING MEAN FOR NOT HAVING SOME IOTA OF SYMPATHY FOR AN "ALIEN" BEING FORCED TO HAVE THE APPEARANCE OF A HUMAN.

Is Ojou-sama your friend?

[Look at her go, butchering that pronunciation. Oh-joe-sama?]

[papshooshing]

NO?
HE JUST DECIDED THAT RUNNING OFF IN THE SNOW AND MAKING ME CHASE HIM WAS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAPPEN.
AND IT DID.
THE LITTLE SHIT WAS SO SMUG ABOUT IT LATER.

[clawshot]

Sounds like he just wanted to play with you. I doubt the trouble was intentional.

--ah! No, no... I'm sorry, I always forget people might not know what that is... She's, ah... She's my Mistress.

[video]

[broomwithaview]

Mistress? You're some kind of servant, Mr. Ayasaki?

[ video ]

[broomwithaview]

[Kiki laughs.]

I've seen people with...as many as six. That's a lot of pets.

[ video ]

[colorsofthewind]

I have ten, myself. You can only keep six on you at a time, though.

[ video ]

[broomwithaview]

Six? Why's that?

[video]

[combat_butler]

Mm! I'm a butler! Even if I haven't actually done much butlering in a long time.

[ video ]

[colorsofthewind]

... You know, I'm not really sure.

[He just takes a seat nearby and watches that little critter go, his own small candle settling in the spot beside him]

I had a horse back home.

[babel_hacker]

Not even a goldfish. Pokemon...having them are kind of like pets, but they feel like more than that.

Commentary? Your cat can talk? That's so cool! [None of his pets ever talked...]

Amy is a really independent cat; I don't think she'd let anyone adopt her... She really likes being fed cookies, at least.

[papshooshing]

IF HE DID IT ON PURPOSE, IT WAS INTENTIONAL.
SERIOUSLY, IT'S NOT LIKE I DON'T GIVE HIM THE ATTENTION THAT HE WANTS.

[the_whitequeen]

Sadly ... I wasn't allowed to have pets ...

... but I did have my haros with me.

But they aren't pets ... he is a mechanical friend another friend gave me.

[clawshot]

Animals are like that. A town full of cats wanted to play hide and seek with me once. It took a while but I doubt they meant any harm by it.

[Special experiences, he's got them]

[video]

[tapestodiane]

Oh, that's right! You're a witch.

_{[And he looks delighted.]}

What are you practising?

[usedshooshpap]

A TOWN FULL OF CATS.
WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY HAVE ON YOU? CATNIP?
