Excellent work, John-san!

[[Ritsu, you just made that the happiest and proudest Dratini. He is just going to chirp all sorts of happy sounds to you. Rose, meanwhile, is simply going to chuckle.]]

Good afternoon, Ritsu.

[trouser_chimp]

Good afternoon, I'm sorry for bothering you.

[that's going to be a forever thing.]

[usedtherapy]

[[Oh Ritsu.]]

It is no bother at all, I assure you. I am always willing to talk. So nothing to apologize for. How are you?

[walkinthruwalls]

[ She's just... looking for now. A little confused ] Are they Pokemon? [ She's looked through her handbook but it has yet to all sink in ]

[usedtherapy]

[[Oh hello there. She nods, petting the Dratini, who curiously peeps at the woman on the screen.]]

They are indeed. This is a Dratini, while the...pile of fish here are all Magikarp. Dragon and Water types respectively.

[[It's okay, these things take time. And there are just some things the handbook won't teach you.]]

[walkinthruwalls]

Dratini and Magikarp. [ And you can see her quickly flicking through the pages of her book. Or maybe not but she's looking down and concentrating very hard ] I've found them. [ She's holding the pages up to keep reading between them, making little 'uh huh' noises every so often ] Huh... they're so different. But wait... Dragon? I guess the myths went a little wrong then. [ Or not always... but they're not here so she's oblivious ]

[usedtherapy]

Many of the Pokemon differ greatly from one another. They're very diverse. And myths?

action; because they are traveling together and i said so. :|

[usedwindything]

[And why wouldn't John appear behind Rose a few moments later? Gotta stick to your travel buddy, you know! Stopping next to Rose, he boggles at the pile of flopping Magikarp.]

Um...

[Casey, meanwhile, is clapping and bouncing up and down a little. That's so sweet Derptini!]

Action; Hehehe

[usedtherapy]

[[First Derptini will look up at John expectantly. Aren't you proud of him? And then he will wiggle his way over to Casey!]]

That is about how I feel right now.

Action; :3

[usedwindything]

[John's not sure what to think, Derptini. On the one hand, it's a very nice gesture. On the other, those poor Magikarp. Casey is very proud of you though, Derptini. So proud because you are so sweet and you are getting a hug now for it.]

Yeah that's...that's a lot of Magikarp.

[Boggling forever. FOR. EVER.]

Action;

[usedtherapy]

[[HUGS! He wishes he could hug you back. 8C He will just...wrap around you kind of.]]

Yes. Yes it is. I am trying to figure out the most effective way of returning them to the lake.

[holdsleftovers]

[ If they're still on the road, this can be action, idefk anymore. :/a

Watanuki peers at the flopping pile in consternation, his Dragonite looming over his shoulder. ]

Ah...its intentions were good. [ Wise nod. ] Will you need help getting the fish back in the water, Rose-san?

Action;

[usedtherapy]

[[By my calculations, they should still be on the road in this post, so! :3c]]

They were, yes. He is very sweet...even if he may not quite understand that Magikarp do not make as good of gifts to humans as it would to a dragon.

[[Turning to him and his Dragonite, she smiles gratefully.]]

I believe so, yes. That is an awfully large amount of fish to deal with on my own. Would you mind assisting me, Watanuki?

Action;

[holdsleftovers]

Of course I wouldn't. Suzu, could you help Rose-san and I, please?

[ Suzu's tail thumps the ground in assent. As he toddles past Rose, he bends down, his great big Dragonite snout whuffing playfully at her blonde bob. Perfunctory greeting over, he makes his way to the fish and begins to load the floppy cargo up in his arms, Watanuki not far behind. ]

You know, I know humans aren't supposed to eat pokemon, but I've also never actually seen pokemon eat each other...do you think they actually can eat Magikarp?

Action;

[usedtherapy]

Thank you, and thank you Suzu.

[[She also follows, though unfortunately can only take one at a time.]]

That I'm unsure of. None of my Pokemon have ever show interest in eating others, and quite a few of them enjoy meat. I've been curious of that myself.

[viceo]

[sharkfoodbound]

...you praised him for that?

[video]

[usedtherapy]

Not so much praised as...showed appreciation for the gift. He did, after all, spend a good amount of time fishing.

[video]

[sharkfoodbound]

For... something completely useless.

[usedtherapy]

Not many gifts have a use to them beyond sitting pretty in a shelf in your room. At least, almost all of the gifts I've received have been that way.
