three- (video/action for Route 32)

[The video comes on, and it adjusts for a moment before focusing on Sissel's face. He looks really amused, for some reason.]

Hey, I want you to take a look at this. Lynne, doesn't this remind you of a certain crazy character you know?

[He turns the camera to show his Pidgey.]

[Which is currently dancing.]

[Well, it isn't really dancing, but it is

[Lynne is forever amused by that Pidgey.]

Haha! It really is like Inspector Cabanela!

Missile acts a lot like Missile, Kamila acts like Kamila, and my Mudkip is really shy like Ruby. I haven't thought of a name for him yet.

[Video]

[in_themachine]

[Of course you are. It even has his hairstyle!]

Yeah, Ruby was going to be called Rube Goldberg, but then I found she was a girl. So Ruby it was.

Hmmmm. I'm not the biggest expert on names, really...maybe Bailey? Like that prison guard.

[Video]

[hahaidied]

Rube Goldberg, huh? What inspired that name?

I guess. It's a cute name, and I can't think of anything better... So Bailey it is!

[Video]

[in_themachine]

Well, I was trying to think of names, and I remembered that machine that I saved you from- the one with teh Cupid. And I remember that something like that is called a Rube Goldberg machine. I don't remember who Rube Goldberg is, but I thought it sounded good.

Now, keep an eye on him. He might be doing a "Panic Dance" if you're not too careful.

They're almost like kids, aren't they? Somehow, I get the feeling that this is what parents feel, maybe. Just a little.

[A pause of consideration.] Their personalities can be a little surprising, to be honest.

video.

[in_themachine]

Parents? Yeah, I guess that is what the feeling's like. I can't really say, seeing as I don't remember what having a family feels like...

I agree. These two were born at the same time, but they're as different as the sun and moon.

video.

[reimprovise]

It's the variety that makes it interesting, isn't it? They compliment each other.

[A hum.] Amnesia?

video.

[in_themachine]

It really does make it interesting...if they all had the same personalities, then it would be rather boring, wouldn't it?

Exactly! I lost all my memories after I died...I'm still trying to remember, but not much is coming back...

[video]

[elevatorbro]

My own pokemon are...[He tries to find a word to describe them] difficult, to say the least.

I cannot deny, however, that I do enjoy their company.

[video]

[in_themachine]

Difficult? Are they giving you trouble?

Yes, well, they certainly are good company when you're all by your lonesome. I'm quite glad I have them, to be honest.

[video]

[elevatorbro]

One could call it that. Only a few days ago I lost one of mine in Cherrygrove City. This one tends to wander off on his own quite a bit without warning. [He holds his Drowzee up and wiggles it around a bit as it stares off in a daze.]

Indeed, I am certainly grateful that they are here with me. I would be terribly lonely without them here with me.

[video]

[in_themachine]

Oh, you better keep an eye on it. Though if it likes exploring, you should let it do that...just not too much, I don't think.

...You don't have any friends here yet?

[video]

[miniworth]

[Man, if only he could reply to these feeds without POKÉMON ATTACKING HIM-- but alas, when Miles' response comes, before he could even reply there's a Plusle jumping on his head, followed by a Wooper, and then a Growlithe, all catapulting on and off his head before they continue their game of tag. And Miles, rubbing his neck because ow that kind of hurt turns back to the camera, a quiet Charmander sitting on his lap with one end of his scarf around her own neck, hands clinging to his shirt. And there is a large Arcanine seated behind them both. Sissel - Miles Edgeworth's team in summary. :|b Oh, and there's a small Cubone sleeping on Miles' knee, too.]

...I was going to explain, but I think you already know what they're like now.

[beat]

Hello, Mr. Sissel.

[video]

[in_themachine]

[Sissel opens his mouth to say hello at the first sight of Miles, but he watches as Miles' team swarms him. There's a pause, and then Sissel laughs with amusement.]

I can certainly see that. Hello, Miles. You doing okay?

[video]

[miniworth]

No thanks to them o-ow my neck..

And yourself?

[video]

[in_themachine]

Hey, that's how they show they love you, I guess.

Pretty good. Though now I'm apparently in a competition with your sister to see which one of us has the best Skarmory.

[video]

[corvus_veritas]

[Byrne can't help but laugh at that Pidgey's struttin'. It's cute, really!]

Oh, mine definitely have unique personalities. One pretends to be a phantom thief and the other thinks she's an alarm clock. [Laughs.] They're quite a handful sometimes.

[video]

[in_themachine]

Phantom theif? I'm guessing it's a ghost Pokemon? Funny, I was a phantom, but it's not like I could steal things as a ghost...

Well, that's what makes them interesting, right?

[video]

[corvus_veritas]

Of course! It's like having kids all over again. [Another laugh.] Though actually, Little Thief's a Vulpix - and she's definitely 'cunning like a fox'.

[...Now that mention of being a ghost intrigues Byrne a little.] Wait, you said you were a 'ghost'? (How does THAT work out?)

[video]

[in_themachine]

Ah, I see. I wouldn't know what having kids would be like, but I guess it isn't that different from this, is it?

Yeah, I died before I came here. I was a ghost, but now, I'm alive like nothing happened.
