♕ THIRD COMMAND | VIDEO / ACTION [MAHOGANY TOWN]

[sadisticwarfare]

[Shortly after meeting up with Kimblee, Archer turns on the video feed. It's currently focused on a Meowth who doesn't seem to be very pleased sitting on the ground, she keeps pawing at Archer's leg in an attempt to get him to pick her up.]

...I'm not entirely sure how this world works, but I believe it's safe to say that it's horrifying.

[That's ...amusing, but this young miss is just going to um, give a sheepish grin here. No, no, Winry is not amused. Not at all. There was nothing funny on that post, there was absolutely nothing amusing at all.]

Welcome to the world of Breeding Pokemon where everything comes from eggs. ...And I really mean it, everything - um, every pokemon, really.

[VIDEO]

[sadisticwarfare]

[...Posting that to the network really wasn't the brightest idea he's ever had, was it?]

[Anyway, Archer will respond in a few minutes, looking noticeably less manic, though it seems all that shrieking took a toll on his voice.]

...All of them? [But... he has a bat. Bats don't come from eggs. Kittens don't come from eggs. Okay, no, no, he is not going to freak out again. Deep breaths, Archer.]

[VIDEO]

[themechotaku]

Yup, all of them - no matter what species they're going to be. [Dogs and kittens and other animals who don't normally come from eggs... It's always kind of weird to see them hatch from them. Maybe she won't even try to confuse you with stuff about egg groups - but Winry loves her copy of breeder's guide/handbook.]

[VIDEO]

[sadisticwarfare]

...Why?

[The question is far more tense than it should be, and after a moment, Archer amends,] Is there any particular reason? Is it just this world's way of doing things?

[themechotaku]

[WHY? Do you really expect Winry to know, Archer?]

[VIDEO] 2/2

[themechotaku]

[She shrugs whichshouldhavebeenon1/2butanyways!

Oh. Hey, thank you for answering your own question!] If there are, I don't know them. Yes, it seems to be this world's way of doing things ...Nice for everyone, I guess when most pokemon can breed with each other, no matter what species they are. [It makes no sense when you compare everything to the real world!]

[VIDEO]

[sadisticwarfare]

...They can... breed regardless of what species they are...?

[What.]

But that makes no sense...!

[...It's this world. This world is screwed up. Logic has died here. Don't try to reason with it. Calm down.]

[Okay. Okay. So this world is just screwed. Alright, he can deal with that.]

Well that seems... rather ridiculous. Wouldn't this world have a massive overpopulation problem if that were the case? Obviously there are those who train these creatures, but not everyone catches all the creatures they see... and the ones that are harmed during battles in the wild aren't killed...

[Don't mind him thinking aloud, Winry! If he stops talking he'll probably start freaking out again, and no one needs that.]

[VIDEO]

[themechotaku]

Well, they have things called Egg Groups, but as long as they're of a compatible egg group, then yes - they can breed with each other. Let's not get into the weirdest combinations, okay? [YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT THEM! Winry doesn't really want to tell you either.]

Uh huh, I'm sure it's not the first thing here that doesn't make any sense...

[Nope, she doesn't mind. She's just not sure as to what she should say now.]

Hey, maybe the world of Pokemon is a huge place and Johto is just one part of it and they can go... Somewhere else. To cause an overpopulation there. But you know, the routes here seem to be full of wild pokemon, I guess it's no wonder when you consider how they breed... I assume they have many places to go even here in Johto anyway!

[VIDEO]

[sadisticwarfare]

[This... is a bit much. He can't handle this amount of insanity, and he's used to dealing with Kimbley on a regular basis.]

...No, I don't want to know. [Let's just... leave it at that, then!]

[Winry's next comment causes Archer to pause for a moment, frowning.] I suppose there would have to be other areas... Still, it seems a bit excessive if any two of these creatures within the same "egg group" can mate.

[There's a slight pause while Archer glances off-screen at the kitten.] ...I really don't want to know.

[VIDEO]

[themechotaku]

[She's used to tell much info at once. She could repeat if you asked her to repeat it! ...But it's certainly better for everyone if you just don't ask for it.] And one of the egg groups is for pokemon who can't even breed at all... [Now she's kinda in her own world for a second or two, and just saying that here.]

[And she shrugs again.] Hey, at least now you know that they all come from eggs, sir. I assume that most people here don't want to know more about it, so we can just keep it as one of the mysteries... So, let's not get into more details here.

That's an adorable kitten~.

[VIDEO]

[sadisticwarfare]

You certainly seem to know a lot about this. How long have you been here?

[That comment actually earns a smirk from Archer.] Yes, I suppose that is for the best.

[Archer turns the Gear to focus on the kitten - which is a good thing since otherwise Winry would have caught sight of the genuine smile.] Yes, she certainly is. [He's not very open in his adoration of "cute" things, but cats are the obvious exception.]

[VIDEO] /trying to kick myself back into the mood of tagging, sorry for being late! D;

[themechotaku]

Breeders Guide Book tells much, as do the people here. [Sheepish grin for the later part. Really? People here can tell you a lot? Yeah, bet you've never heard about that.] And I've been here ever since the first of June.

[Yup, that's definitely for the best.]

[She's smiling at the kitten. Can she hear a smile? Probably not. But he just agreed to what she said - she's a bit surprised, but hey, that just makes her smile go wider. Hey, kitty kitty kitty~ she'd pat you if you were at the same place with her.] So, have you named her yet?

[VIDEO] - Don't worry about it! Take all the time you need~

[sadisticwarfare]

[Breeder's Guide Book? So there's actually some sort of method to this madness? Hmm. That's interesting, but he'll let it go for the moment. He really doesn't want to deal with kittens coming from eggs at the moment.]

It's been quite awhile for you, then. [Archer doesn't offer any sort of apology though - this isn't the Winry from his world (whom he had only met once anyway), and Edward Elric is here... She's probably enjoying herself.]

[Archer is quiet for a moment after the question of the name, frowning. He's thought about it but the only thing that comes to mind is Kimbley and like hell he's naming this cat after that moron. She's far too cute for that. ...Oh, and she's a girl.]

Not yet, no. Kimblee seems quite fond of calling her "Eggbeast," however.

[He sounds somewhere between amused and irritated; at least the cat hasn't started responding to that horrid nickname yet.]

[VIDEO] - I'M STILL ALIVE~!

[themechotaku]

Time flies fast here. I've had fun... Most of the time anyway. [The only time when she didn't have much fun was when she was stuck in Mahogany... But she's not going to mention anything about that. And then it was kinda the worst weeks of her life in Johto when Ed went home. But hey, he came back and everything's great again, let's not worry about it!

Winry tilts her head to the right. Hmmm. Naming pokemon wasn't always an easy thing to...

...She's trying not to laugh, really she is really trying not to. It would be so impolite to laugh here right now, but that name was just hilarious...

Winry bursts into laugh.] I'm sorry. [And she's laughing more, and more and even more.

...And more. Sorry!

She calms down after a while, looking at the kitten with a cheerful face.] I think she reminds me of names Luna and Moon.

[Not that she'd ever call anything Eggbeast - except some of Ed's metal eating pokemon, maybe!]

[VIDEO] - AND NOW I'M BACK TOO!

[sadisticwarfare]

[Archer looks slightly offended for a moment - it's not his fault the poor thing responds to such a stupid name! But Winry's laughter is surprisingly infectious, and ends up getting a smirk out of him. He's not sure what it is about this girl, but she's actually helping him calm down easily, possibly without even trying.]

Luna is certainly a nice name. I'll take it into consideration. Thank you.
