[ The 'gear flips on for whoever might be paying attention. In view is a young lady with blonde hair and gold eyes holding the camera out in front of herself Selfie Style with a big grin. She isn't familiar but she already seems... Pretty settled and HAPPY TO BE HERE. ]

Ciao~!! I hope everyone is having a looooo~ooovely day! Your newest resident is here!! It's been a couple days and a loooong boat ride but Mari is here~!

I didn't wanna say hi until I got settled in with my new friend-- [ She pans the camera over her shoulder to a Staryu doing what appears to be a half-assed cartwheel behind her. ] Say hi, Spinel! Time for your close-up!

We're so happy to be here. I can't wait to tell my friends back home about all the cute animals I'm supposed to be looking after. [ Animals, yes. Also, she seems okay and not having a panic attack?? That's good. ]

We're gonna be heading out soon to do some exploring. If anyone has any tips or knows the cutest critters, let me know what to look out for~

Say something sweet and I'll blow you a kiss~

Bye-bye!

_[oh.]

W-Well, I... I haven't done it a lot yet, honestly. B-But I could give you some help if you ever need it.

_{[Gods, help him.]}

im sorry shes on her bullshit

[guiltyeyes]

Oh, I'm sure you're just perfect at this. Your dog there has suuuuch a glossy coat. What a handsome fella. Clearly the apple doesn't fall far from the tree~

[ MARI PLEASE ]

What tips should l'il ol' Mari have right off the bat other than throwing Pokeballs at the critters?

never be sorry ever

[bertall]

<sub>[Handsome-- Did--

Oh no.]</sub>

W-Wait, wh--

_{[GODS, SAVE THIS BOY.]}

Uh, well, uh... For breeding? O-Or normal things?

[guiltyeyes]

[ Oh good, she's getting under his skin. Cue some eye-batting. ]

Both if you can manage but I think the job portion of the whole thing is more important. Surely you have to know something about amore~

[bertall]

_{[rip in pieces, here lies bertolt.]}

...What's amore?

[guiltyeyes]

Love~!

[bertall]

I-I, uh...

_{[Hooooo boy.]}

I... don't really know a lot about that to be honest. _{[At least with people.]}

[guiltyeyes]

What??

[ IMPOSSIBLE. ]

I'll have you know that Mari is excellent in that field. You don't know how to make Pokemon fall in love either?

[ BOY, SHE LIKES YOU ALREADY. ]

I can help.

[bertall]

With my Pokemon things just sort of uh... happen.

_{[Especially with that Ditto of his. Bubblegum, why are you like that??]}

[guiltyeyes]

They don't have like... A mating ritual...?

[bertall]

Not that I've seen, I think. I-I mean, Marcel... sort of puffs his fur up to look bigger, but I'm not sure if that's something he does to try and impress girls or just people and other Pokemon in general. Whenever I find eggs, it's always when I'm not around.

[guiltyeyes]

[ lmao what ]

Marcel's a good-looking boy! He should be showing off to all the lads and ladies.

If the eggs just appear... Then... [ She squints. ] That's goofy...

[bertall]

He's going to get himself into trouble if he keeps it up though. One of my bigger Pokemon kept trying to... flirt, I think, with a Tyranitar I have and she kept throwing him down and sitting on him for awhile until he backed off.

_{[He's still not sure how his Haxorus got the same one to calm down enough to properly woo her, but he's calling Hax.]}

I'm not even sure how the eggs are made. I've tried to stay to see if anything happens, but at some point I either end up having to leave or I fall asleep, and... That's probably when it all happens.

[guiltyeyes]

I mean, if it saves us from watching anything gross... Eggs are kinda yucky.

[ But she can't help but find all of his fidgeting about precious as Hell. ]

It's so cute when animals preen and primp for a mate. I know I love primping and preening too, ya know...!

[bertall]

They're bigger than you'd think here, too.

_{[Definitely bigger than any animal back home. Even the egg his Cutiefly hatched from was the same size as a Growlithe egg...]}

I've, uh... I've never really done any of that for someone. I've never had to do it before.

[guiltyeyes]

Oh, you'd get the hang of it in no time.

Like, you know, slick back your hair, straighten your posture, try some flirty stuff like telling someone they look nice and you like their eyes!

Cuz Mari likes yours~

Easy-peasy.
