It seems as though it's one of those days where one can't even go to the market without returning home joined by a new addition.

[Lust is in her living room, in a lavender sundress and...some sort of pink fluffy looking hairclip. There's a good sized bowl of water on the coffee table, and in it, a pink magikarp.]

I really shouldn't be surprised. Look at what hatched from my most recent egg.

[She reaches up into her hair and the hairclip....hops into her hands with a soft sound. It's a shiny Cutiefly.]

And of course, there's all of them.

[She angles the 'gear. Clustered together is a cacophony of pink and purple fur. A Jigglypuff, a shiny Cleffa, a shiny Cinccino, an Espurr, a Swirlix, a Glameow, a pair of Munna....]

How in god's good name did this happen?

I guess you just attract pink things?

[a_sin_for_him]

Apparently so, but I've no idea why. I'm not a very 'pink' person.

Really, even the ones that aren't...I'd guess that at least sixty percent of my Pokemon look like a little girl's stuffed animal that came to life.

That makes two of us.

Maybe whoever hands these guys out was going for irony?

[a_sin_for_him]

I do wonder where they come from. The Christmas ones were long attributed to that Santa Claus fellow....

[alltoblame]

[Okay, so Ed may not have intended to activate the video on the 'Gear, because at this point he's just.... Kind of staring. Although, it's not really clear if it's the concept of Lust also being here or the fact that she's surrounded by a bunch of hopelessly adorable pokemon in a lavender sundress like it was the most normal thing ever.

Well, maybe not the most normal thing ever since she seems downright confused by it.

Still, he's too busy trying to grasp the concept that his brother and a bunch of dead homunculi are the only people here from their world, and this... only added a new element to it.

If he did meant to turn the Gear on, he sure isn't using it for anything.]

[a_sin_for_him]

Yes, Edward?

[Lust's expression is mild, but there's something in her eyes and the set of her mouth that seems to be just daring him to say something. Not that the reaction is surprising, she's oft commented that those who knew her back home would be shocked to see her these days.]

[But still. She's rather uncertain where she stands on this particular Elric.]

[alltoblame]

[The surprise is evident on his face when she says his name, as if completely caught off guard. Like he'd been snooping where he shouldn't have been, rather than watching a perfectly public network post.

Of all the things he could comment on, though. The pink creatures everywhere, the lavender dress, Lust - being alive and - sounding perfectly at home here. He composes himself and responds as if there's nothing out of the ordinary about this exchange at all.]

I found one of those, too. I take it they're not normally flopping around in the middle of the street like this.

[He might be intentionally keeping the topic neutral, or maybe he's just looking or information from a familiar face that's far less hostile than some others around here. Or maybe he didn't have any intention to actually contact her so his response wasn't planned, but the first thing that came to mind at the sound of her voice over the Gear.]

[a_sin_for_him]

No, that's not normal. But these things happen. I'd say it's simply a swarm, but Magikarp usually only come in solid orange.

[Alright, this is fine. If Edward simply wants to discuss Pokemon as though there's nothing else to remark on, that's perfectly acceptable to her.]

[Jane chuckles, ducking her head a little.]

Why, they must have an affinity for you! Even when they come from mysterious eggs.

[Video]

[a_sin_for_him]

Apparently so, I didn't even know Magikarp came in pink.

[Video]

[cyan_maid]

Neither did I...perhaps there's been some shift in the environment to make them come in new colors? I've heard that can happen to animals sometimes.

[Video]

[a_sin_for_him]

Who even knows, in this world. All things considered, this isn't all that strange.

[pipers_son]

The universe just knows ya particularly well?

video;

[a_sin_for_him]

It hardly knows me at all, look at this surplus abomination of cute!

video;

[pipers_son]

And I bet ya don't enjoy 'em at all~.

[Look at that shit-eating grin...]

video;

[a_sin_for_him]

They're my Pokemon, of course I like them. But they're hardly ones I'd pick for myself.

_{[Hearing that someone is home, Henry emerges from the hallway with a yawn. It's nearly time for an evening shift and he waits for Lust to finish her transmission before wandering over and taking stock.]}

Who's this?

[Action]

[a_sin_for_him]

I don't know yet, I found it desperately trying to flop after me out of a puddle as I was coming home from the market. Guttle was delighted.

[She shoos the rest of her pokemon off with a wave of her hand, and they go bounding.]

I've never seen one like this. Have you?

[Action]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry blinked. Then he blinked again. He wasn't imagining it! He leaned down to get a better look at the fish.]}

No, not at all...it isn't shimmering. It doesn't look like a Shiny Pokemon. Do you think it could be sick?

[charcoalfeather]

[Rakka can't help but smile a little at the sight. Pink is one of her more favorite colors, despite the fact she normally wears browner colors.]

Hehe, those pokemon look so cute! I have a pink magikarp just like that, as a matter of fact.

[video]

[a_sin_for_him]

Yes...they're all very cute.

Do you? I've never seen one before...do you know why it's pink?

[video]

[charcoalfeather]

Yes, I caught it. It was... hard to catch, actually.

[There were so many of them...]

Oh, uh... maybe... It's a different color because of where it's from?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

... Well, if there was any question of who the most femme person in the house is, I think this answers it.

_{[SHE'S ONLY BEING SLIGHTLY SERIOUS. The juxtaposition between Lust's general Queen of the Damned look and her army of adorable soft pink things is just really amusing.]}

[Video]

[a_sin_for_him]

Considering who we live with, is that really a surprise?

I mean I suppose Envy could give me a good run...

[Video]

[foolishwren]

A good run, sure, but you'd still coast through the finish line.

He'd definitely get second place, though.

A good solid second.
