[Good evening, friends. Sollux kicks this feed off with a shot of four baby Pokémon -- a Dratini, Bulbasaur, Venipede, and Larvitar -- all kind of napping or something together. The Gear lingers on them for a second, and then twirls back around so everyone watching can get an eyeful of Sollux's hideous glasses. Oh god they're awful.] So, since Team Megido has now touched base in Olivine and I have nothing to do because, oh look, I already have my motherfucking Gym Badge [this was directed towards someone off-screen], I decided that now would be a great time to dick around a little on the PokéGear.

So, it's getting damn close to summer. The weather's getting warmer and it's fucking fabulous, I literally couldn't be happier with the current state of the thermometer right now. Unfortunately, all of the springtime fun and allergies and shit also meant that I have four freshly-hatched little asswipes crawling around all over the place. I think everyone's kind of sick of them by no-- oh, wait, did I say four? Sorry, meant five. [And the screen moves AGAIN, to a picture of an adorable baby Vullaby picking at her feathers.] Look at that bitch. Found her wandering around in the Safari Zone. Do you people know how long I've been looking for one of these? Way too fucking long.

[And then the feed goes back to him. Maybe he's done gloating about his altogether unremarkable accomplishments... maybe.] And now I'm going to get back on topic. Summer. Back on Trollplanet, the Dim Season didn't mean much except the night-time got hotter, and the day-time got... well, also hotter, but the sun also kind of scorched all of your skin off if you walked out there anyway. There weren't any of these... festivals or holidays or shit. In fact, there weren't any festivals at all.

So, what's the difference between a festival and those godawful parties? Please tell me they're at least bigger. I've been dragged to several holiday parties now and all of them have had too many people in not enough room.

Probably not, which would make him thinking that is his name even worse.

[She gives it another scritch then hands him back to Sollux, perusing the other babies as if trying to decide which one to pick up next.]

I said you've blown out your own eardrums, dipshit. Learn to reading comprehension, will you?

I would, except we're not reading anything here, dipshit.

Worse still, we're on a marathon sprint to Violet and I'm currently all the way to Ecruteak. So unless you got mad skillz I think that we've failed out on the meet up test..

Learn to comprehension comprehension, then!

THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE! ARE YOU LISTENING TO YOURSELF OR ARE YOU TOO WRAPPED UP IN YOUR DOUBLE FETISH?

[Sollux takes his bb back, letting it curl up around his shoulders as he thinks.]

Damn. KN, check out my fabulous boa.

[ ... ]

I could totally call him Boa.

...How even. What. Why.

I will never understand you, OT.

Says the liar!

[ Aradia will shut her book now. Because there are babies. The Venipede is getting her select attention, since she will just pick it up since that's a thing they're doing now. ]

Since I named one of mine Panini, I can't say anything about that. But you do need to name them eventually! They might feel left out if they don't have names, you know.

[ She will just cuddle with the little tiny bug for a minute before speaking up again. ] So, guess what I heard?

[Apparently the Venipede is next into Kanaya's arms, before she levels a look at him, carefully considering the dratini around Sollux's neck.]

...That could work. It is certainly better than Shoe.

There's a lot of people from home showing up alright?? It means that we have to get them all RIGHT NOW.

No seriously I swear my last month has been a game of 'fetch the person' or 'let's fuck with heads because people aren't expecting the explanation we're dumping on them' so... yeah.

WE WILL COORDINATE BETTER! This? Thine one day off thing? WE CAN FIX THIS IN THE FUTURE.

Even you admit it. Shoe is a shitty name no matter how you look at it.

[He taps the Dratini's head.] Boa.

[Laughter.]

Why have you been looking for a little baby vulture thing? Not that she isn't cute, mind you.

[In...her own weird vulture-y way.]

Festivals are typically bigger than parties though, yeah. And they bring to mind a more outdoor-sy setting, though parties can take place outside too so [Shrug!] it's not like that is a defining characteristic or anything.

And they aren't as like... [He sort of knits his fingers together, quirking a brow as he tries to figure out how to word what's on his mind.] tightly knit, I guess? Festivals, I mean. Like with a party, typically you know the host or you're a friend of a friend of the host or something like that, so even if it's a really big party there's some kind of common thread usually. And typically you have to be invited to a party. Whereas a festival is more like...open to everybody, no invitation needed. If that makes sense.

So does that mean if I continue to give them terrible names it will goad you into giving them proper ones?

[She fixes her gaze on the little pokemon in her arms.]

How about Swish, hmm? Do you like Swish? Actually that one isn't particularly bad...

[Not wanting to be left out, the Vullaby hops up and nestles herself again between the two of them. Venipede looks at her interestedly, whereas Hummus seems more concerned with rolling around in Sollux's lap. So comfortable. So warm. Uguu.]

What'd you hear?

[ No baby should be left out! Aradia peers back at the bug pokemon, perfectly content to check it over. She'd seen far too many baby pokemon by this point, so it was as much a health scan as just happily seeing something that small and new. ]

You got your hands on something dangerous! I'm surprised you didn't brag about that, at least to me.

Go die in a hole. I don't think they're all going to offer themselves up as fashion items so we can name them, KN.

[Venipede, meanwhile, trills happily. He... likes...]

[...Swish...]

I totally did. [He puts a hand on the Vullaby's head, and says in a squeaky voice:] Fear me!

[Seemingly completely ignoring Obito's announcement...]

...Wait, fuck, no. OT. Tch. I can do better than that.

Because Jake had a Braviary and I heard that the two of them are counterparts. And I needed a Flying-type anyway.

[Also, it makes his little Doomy heart happy, and that's all that matters right. RIGHT.]

I guess that makes sense. I heard someone else compare it to Breedcon. It's more like a regular old convention than a party? You don't have to socialize with people? [He's being so transparent it's almost sad.]

[Oh damn it he's doing the tuning out thing.]

...What are you thinking over there?

[ ...Pfft, give Aradia a second to stop laughing. Sollux, you're a dork. ]

Dooooork. I meant something that is a bunch of somethings, and are sharp and metallic!!
