[Snow, snow everywhere!

Coraline was a girl born and raised in Michigan, and after being trapped in the snowless wasteland called Ashland, snow was definitely a nice thing to see... even if it was in a world not her own. So she's currently skipping toward Cherrygrove, humming cheerfully and tailed by her Sneasel and Myshka the Rattata (who will one

[SUP CORALINE. Meet ANOTHER spunky girl who stumbles into weird otherworlds as an occupation.]

Looks kinda like a turtle to me... like a turtle-beetle or something.

... A turble.

[exp_loraline]

[Ohhai Heather. How 'bout them bad associations with mirrors?]

Turble... [She apparently likes that idea, and gives a small laugh.

She looks down at the Trapinch again, who is currently staring at the 'gear screen with its big, gleaming eyes, excitedly wiggling its stumpy legs. Oh my gosh there is a person on that thing! D-DO I EAT IT?] The rare burrowing turtle-- discovered by Coraline Jones. Orange all over, big teeth-- like a bear trap, and vestigle wings. [She apparently means "vestigial".] Scientific name: turble!

[Grin!] Heh, I like it!

[D-DON'T MENTION THE MIRRORS, YO. At least there don't seem to be any button-based monsters in Silent Hill...]

[Heather grins toothily. Aw, this brings back memories of what it was like to be that age.]

Stick some fancy Latin into that scientific name and then I think you'll have yourself something promising!

[exp_loraline]

[Now that would do the impossible-- make the good ol' Hill even more terrifying. Better yet, the last boss could be button-eyed Neil Gaiman.

Coraline folds her arms and frowns in thought.] Hmm... [She definitely wants something promising-- she is a bona fide explorer, after all! She's got to be professional!] ... Turble... noggin maximus? [Smirk. PERFECT NAME IS PERFECT.]

[lunarbonds]

I'm not quite sure he's a bug?

[exp_loraline]

[She raises an eyebrow, and glances down at the Trapinch. The baby antlion has taken notice of the Pokegear, and is apparently very excited about it-- she wiggles her stumpy legs in the screen's direction.]
Well... I guess he looks a bit like a turtle.

[lunarbonds]

With a really large head.

[exp_loraline]

Heh. Yeah-- that's what he is.

It does look like he's supposed to have wings though. Here-- [With some effort, she manages to pick the Trapinch up, which just proceeds to wiggle around some more. She holds it with its back toward the camera; there are outlines on its back, as if there are, in fact, wings folded there.] See?

[photonsaber]

His head is bigger than his body! [Way to state the obvious.]

[ video ]

[exp_loraline]

I know! [And she looks very amused by that! As does the Trapinch, who now has those jaws wide open and her stumpy legs wiggling excitedly.] Doesn't seem to bother him though.

[ video ]

[photonsaber]

In a way, he looks really cute with his little legs! But it has such a huuuge mouth. I wonder if he can eat trees with it.

[ video ]

[exp_loraline]

Trees? [She looks stunned; oh geez what is she going to do if this thing goes Godzilla and eats everything? At the same time though, she looks even more amused.] Haha, I bet he can! ... Especially if he gets bigger than this...

『. . . Nope, can't say I have! As for whether or not Pokémon can get brainfreezes -- why don't you find out? Feed your goofy-looking bug-monster some snowballs!』

[ Kumagawa is secretly hoping that those snowballs contain rocks, so that the poor Trapinch can choke on them. ]

[video]

[exp_loraline]

I don't wanna, like... actually hurt him on accident though. I mean, these Pokemon things are pretty much our best bet with getting through this place, right?

[Meanwhile, excitable Trapinch is excitable-- she opens and closes her jaws repeatedly in the screen's direction. SHE JUST WANTS TO BE LOVED.]

[video]

[kumagawa]

[ Sorry, Trapinch; you ain't gonna get any love from Kumagawa. The guy doesn't know the meaning of the word. ]

『Hmm . . . you're right, little girl. But still, I doubt it'd get seriously hurt from eating a few snowballs. Pokémon are built to be tough, after all! I'm sure your bug-thing can handle the pain.』

[video]

[exp_loraline]

[Coraline is... getting an odd vibe from this guy. She narrows her eyes.]
Even if he could handle it, I don't wanna hurt him at all, okay? [She's accustomed to killing bugs and isn't squeamish about that at all... but that was back home, where bugs didn't talk and couldn't... possibly shoot fire out of their mouths.]
