[[Today, when the gear turns on, you get a lovely view of the sky and the calming sounds of water nearby. It's a beautiful day, for those of you not outside

[Video] That. Animation. Is adorable.

[halfatail]

[... oh.]

[oh. It had a fish. 8( Why couldn't HE have a fish.]

[The video feed shows basically nothing but a big pair of green eyes staring forlornly at the screen.]

[Video] c: I aim to please.

[usedtherapy]

[[And, for a moment, Rose will stare back.]]

...Can I help you?

[Video]

[halfatail]

[Oh hello. Maybe you can get that fish for him. 8(]

[He decides to do this like a gentleman and use the manners that he was taught a few days earlier!]

Fsh pls?

[Video]

[usedtherapy]

[[And what a gentleman he is. A hand raises to cover a few chuckles before she points to the pile of Magikarp.]]

Are you referring to these, perchance?

[ Safe to assume Dave's not far off, but it's also safe to assume he's lazy. He may even be within shouting distance. ]

do you pat john on the head when he takes you out for sushi
or is that a special treatment reserved for the cute ones

[usedtherapy]

[[Dave, why are you so lazy? Of course, Rose isn't much better, seeing as she's going to reply with text.]]

He has yet to take me out to any meal, Dave, and I am sure he wouldn't appreciate it much if I treated him like I do my Pokemon.
Though if you are hinting that perhaps you would like to receive such praise for taking me out once in a while, I would be glad to indulge you in such.
If you ever decide to treat me to sushi.

i realize i meet all the criteria for cute but i really dont need headpats
we striders are self-encouraging
but if you really want me to take you out sometime who am i to deny a girl a little strider loving
just make sure you savor every morsel
theres love-starved kids in cambodia whod kill for just a second of quality stridetime

Oh Mister Strider.
How generous of you to think of the poor children in Cambodia.
Due to our current situation, however, I feel it would be forgiven if I were to take just a little bit of it for granted.
Not that I would, seeing as I often do not get such a pleasure, but the fact Cambodia currently does not exist - and, from no knowledge, no longer does at home either - I really see no reason to worry about the offspring there.

Action; I somehow missed this entry, what?

[8etterl8]

[Vriska peers skeptically at the pile of fish, and toes one with her boot.]

Great. It's a pile of useless flopping fish.

[Kinda reminds her of a certain dead friend. Useless and flopping.]

Action; Rose is very elusive. Do not worry. It happens to everyone. :3c

[usedtherapy]

Quite the hoard, isn't it? In their defense, they do evolve into quite the impressive Pokemon. However yes, they are generally useless and do nothing but flop.

[[She will just watch Vriska toe one, then sort of do so as well with a different one.]]

Action;

[8etterl8]

Quite. Your blue slithery thing seems to like them. Do they not die on land?

[After all they've just been flopping. Vriska's resisting the urge to kick one.]

Action;

[usedtherapy]

I think he was more trying to impress me. I don't now if he actually has a fondness for them or not. And seeing as they can be used in battle I would assume not...they're not quite dead yet, after all.

[Jade is staring at the screen, her face a mixture of incredulity and amusement.]

Wow... That is a lot of Magikarp.

[video]

[usedtherapy]

[[She sees that amusement there Jade. She nods, glancing back at the pile.]]

It is. If they were edible, this would be a wonderful thing. Perhaps I could teach John to fish for edible ones...

[youngforhisage]

[Clapclap!]

Your Dratini is a fantastic fisher it seems!

[usedtherapy]

He is indeed. [[Applauds? Derptini knows what those are! He is all sorts of wiggles and proud.]] If only he had caught fish we could eat, rather than a large pile of fish that can do little more than flop around.

[youngforhisage]

Perhaps you can teach him to go after those instead?

[usedtherapy]

I think I will try that. Once I feel up to swimming, anyway. It would be quite handy to have a fishing Pokemon on our team.
