VIDEO - GRASSHOPPER DAY 16 (LATE)

[luckydragonsfoot]

[It appears that someone's making good use of the ICP for the Garden Carriage- at the very least it's easier than trying to use any communication off something from his wrist. As it stands- Katsuya grins, something silvery dangling around his neck quite obviously against the blue of his sweater.]

Hey! Turns out, I was able t' get another 'f my team here, [he cheers.] Order instruction's make me figure I won' be able t' get anyone else but...I figure tha's f'r th' best. Bit big f'r th' train, [he remarks with a shrug. Stepping slightly out of view so that the ICP can display the rest of the immediate area, he continues.]

But here she is! Amar!

['Amar' no doubt refers to the extremely round little sheep plodding around near the sand. Smaller than even Katsuya's relatively miniscule pony, who seems to be watching as well, the 13 pound ball of wool abruptly tucks her legs in to roll a bit down the path before stopping to bleat.]

Amar's m' wooloo- she's abou' 's friendly as Kaseri, so if y' see 'er around, don' feel shy, go on an' pet her! She's as soft as a pillow!

[Garden car, huh. Enna's brand new, so she's trying to get used to everything, exploring and figuring out how... well, everything works. She's by now calmed down and no longer suspecting this as evil, so now she wants to know as much about this weird place as possible.

So she's not even paying the tiniest bit of attention to the ICPs as she walks into the Garden Carriage, and sees.... a rolling sheep.

Enna's immediately just going to go over there to start patting the sheep.]

Oooh! This is the fattest sheep I've ever seen!

actionnnnn...

[luckydragonsfoot]

[Mh?

Just as the ICP is clicked off (he'll answer it when someone answers the feed, it's fine), Katsuya turns to find out why Amar was rolling away.

They're not alone! Well then.] Hohhh, I didn' ev'n hear y' come in...

Mmmeeeeeeh! [Grinning, Katsuya simply scratches his head and comes over to say hi himself.] I can' say I've seen ev'ryone on th' train, but I don' think I've seen y' aroun' b'fore either- go ahead 'n giv' 'er a squish though, [he adds with a wink.] Th' only thin' fat abou' Amar, is her wool~

[Poof poof!]

[nocawsforconcern]

You haven't seen me 'cause I'm new, duh. Just got here! I'm Enna.

[But, taking him up on that, she does indeed squish.]

... Oh, you're right... Boo. That sucks. But, I guess she's still young, to be this size! It's okay, Amar, he'll feed you a lot, and you'll be nice and delicious when you get bigger!

[luckydragonsfoot]

Katsuya Jonouchi. Nice t' me-

[wait]

NYH!? [NO NO-] O-Oii oii oii!! She ain' a food sheep!! [he chokes in panic- though if it wasn't for a few key memories of being a goat herd, he'd be taking this a lot worse...]

She's jus' a companion sheep, trus' me! Or, well... [He shrugs, and scratches his head.] They migh' be bred f'r th' wool back home? At th' very leas' they ain't eat'n 'r anythin'...

[He laughs, grinning yet again as Amar bleats happily.] I don' think there's gonna be anythin' that'll make 'er bigger other than evolution t' be hones'- an I don' ev'n think tha' c'n happen on th' train...otherwise, these two 'r stayin' jus' as big as they look!

[A whinny comes from behind, as the slightly larger- but no less tiny- ponyta clops over to join the group. It sounds a bit like she's confirming things.]

[blue_ice]

You'd better guard her if you don't want some idiot trying to claim her wool. Quality clothing costs a fortune around here.

[ Kaiba has most of his old outfit back. The gauntlets and extra belts are missing, and he's tied a silvery scarf around his waist to replace his super cool belt, but it's better than continuing to look like a carrot. ]

[luckydragonsfoot]

Bah! What, y' figure soemone's gonna come at 'r with shears? She'll manage, could prob'bly grow it back w'th 'cotton guard' t' be honest.

[He seems pretty casual about it, at least.] Huh! See y' got some of yer look back...clothes not come w'th belts when y' order 'm?

[blue_ice]

No. Every accessory has to be ordered separately.

[ He's a little grouchy about that. ]

I see you picked one. Dog tags. How appro---

[ Then the light catches the address on them, and he falls silent, jaw dropping. ]

---what.

Action

[runicfeathers]

[Instead of sitting around, Willow's been wandering the train. She hasn't even tried figuring out her new gadgets, frankly she didn't yet understand how those things worked without magic and was too prideful to ask. At least in her current state.

And then she sees the creature. The soft, white, fluffy sheep-like creature with horns. Immediately she's interested in it, but so is Nova in a different way: hungrily. She knows better, but she's perched on an open space nearby her master with a keen eye on the sheep. Willow makes her way to the creature, and without thinking, puts a hand on one of the horns and then into the fluff.]

MY aren't you a curious and cute little one?

[luckydragonsfoot]

Hehee, seems t' be th' big agreemen' so far, [he laughs, walking over behind the rolly-sheep.] Frien'ly too- yer already findin' Amar's sweet spot!

[runicfeathers]

They would be wrong to disagree. Amar? Is that what this little creature is called? A cute name for a cute creature.

[goingthroughaphase]

Oh my gosh, she is so cute!

[ They both were! She just wants to hug them both. ]

So those are...Pokemon, right?

[ She remembers hearing an announcement about the match that one time, and she's seen some wandering around the train. But she still didn't know much about them. ]

[luckydragonsfoot]

[They're just waiting for hugs! WAITING FOR IT!]

Heheee yep! Both fr'm Galar, ev'n. Though, 'n Amar's case she w's wanderin' around Alola...bunch 'f differen' pokemon got scattered through wormholes, so th' farms there took 'm in...

[goingthroughaphase]

[ Next time she sees them she's giving them all the hugs. ]

So, um...what exactly are Pokemon? I mean, I see they're creatures of some kind, but...

[Video]

[iamnotgod]

[Webmind's screen-face is currently projecting something approximating wry amusement.]

I must say, Katsuya Jonouchi, Amar does make me wonder what it would be like to have the proper sensory upgrades.

[Surprised to see a robot, Jonouchi?]

Ah, forgive me for being forward, I don't believe we have met. My name is Webmind. We were in separate locations on this past mission.

[luckydragonsfoot]

Nyh- How did y'-

[oh right, the ICP....] Uh...Jonouchi's fine.

Dang though, yer a real deal robot? I only ever saw tha' kinda thing in movies...cool name!

[iamnotgod]

Thank you; I did pick it out myself.

[And he winks, too!]

But it is more my frame is robotic; I am a digital intelligence, and was somehow compiled into this form without issue.

[... If you could call 'having an existential panic attack' without issue, but, yeah.]

How would you say you picked Amar's name?

[bloomingdespite]

Jounouchi, it's absolutely criminal that your Pokémon are so cute.

[Wester is crossing their arms and... are they actually pouting? Yes. Yes they are.]

[luckydragonsfoot]

Heheheee~

Wanna come see 'm?

[bloomingdespite]

YES PLEASE!!!

[God, their eyes are sparkling like a kid's.]

[happyends]

[ .. oh no... Amar is so cute. Hey, Katsuya, would you mind just bringing all of your Pokémon over during the cooking lessons.. for no particular reason, obviously.. other than that Madoka wants to hug them all and never let go!

You can see it in her eyes too as she marvels at the screen. There's practically stars in her eyes. ]

H.. How come all of your friends are so cute?!

[luckydragonsfoot]

Eh?

[He looks back to the two, and then to Madoka.] Well, I guess y' ain't wrong...I dunno 'f you'd agree if Koach was here though, [he hums, thinking of the horrible fish-dino monstrosity.] But yeah, guess most of 'm are pretty cute.

I think tha's like, th' natural order 'f things, pokemon-wise though.

[happyends]

You mean there's even more of these cute things out there?

[ She looks so amazed. Like Katsuya just told her that she's getting an infinite number of Christmas presents or something. The idea of an entire world full of adorable beings like this is just too much for Madoka's heart.

Can't the train stop there for once? Please? ]

How many? Do you see them all day? Do you get to pet them? [ These are some rapid-fire questions, especially by Madoka standards - with the girl usually being a bit more on the meek side and all. But this idea has her so excited. ]

[sizedoesntmatter]

I guess cute animals are just drawn to you, aren't they?

[He may or may not be teasing a tiny bit.]

[luckydragonsfoot]

Nyh-

W...What's tha' s'pposed t' mean anyway...

[Technically it was pure herding skill that endeared Amar! Skill he says!]

[sizedoesntmatter]

It just means creatures are drawn to you and they just happen to be cute looking. Though it reminds me of when I play games I would always end up with something cute.

[Now it wasn't him anymore.]
