19th Match // video // Goldenrod

[fuelthefire]

[Today's home video features Adorababy the Sylveon and an unknown Eevee. 'Dora is sitting on his haunches, front paws and back toes all lined up in a neat little row. He looks mildly confused (but not unhappy) as the Eevee circles around him, headbutting him and rubbing against him like a fluffy kitten. This adorable video is accompanied at first only by the adoring "Veeee!"s enunciated by the worshiping Eevee, but after about twenty seconds of cuteness overload, the cameraman speaks up.]

Is anybody missing a puppycat?

[Whaddup, it's ya boi, Krieg. He sounds just as confused as 'Dora looks. The Eevee is oblivious to all of the confusion it's causing, completely and utterly absorbed as it is in its worshipful adulations.]

It followed us home from Goldenrod and won't go away.

<sub>[Oh no, look at it. It looks a lot like his own Eevee, but his didn't follow him like a lost puppy.

That position went to the Lillipup he ran into shortly after arriving.]</sub>

You got any food on you, dude? Maybe it smells that.

[fuelthefire]

No? The Fairy Cat looks like a pastry but it doesn't smell like one.

[Said Fairy Cat gives a little trill of objection at being described in such a way - rude!]

[synchroswim]

<sub>[It's true, he'll admit that.

And... boy, it's actually kind of cute? He's not sure what the Fairy Cat is, but he'll have to keep his eyes out for it.]</sub>

Well... Maybe it likes you guys? I've got one of the little brown ones and he's been pretty great so far!

[fuelthefire]

It likes one of us.

[You just keep telling yourself that, Krieg. Soon you'll find out that this little fluff has enough love in his fuzzy heart for Adorababy and a trainer!]

I don't mind it but I already have too many.

[Quantity control: the struggle is real.]

[synchroswim]

...Wait, there's a limit on what we can have?

_{[NO ONE TOLD HIM THIS?? The PC never tells him things!]}

[fuelthefire]

[Wait, what?]

I don't think so? I just never wanted more than six and I have eighteen.

[synchroswim]

<sub>[He may or may not have shoved the trainer handbook to the very bottom of his bag. Or his starter tried to chew on it.

...Maybe both.]</sub>

How'd you end up with 'em if you just wanted six? Did they all start following you like the one is right now?

video;

[fuelthefire]

[Probably both]

No. When friends went home their monsters came to stay with me.

[He shrugs]

Most of mine belong to friends.

video;

[synchroswim]

Huh... Did they send 'em to you before they left? Or did they sorta... bust out and come find you?

_{[Ah-- That sounds a little weird, doesn't it?]}

Sorry--! I didn't know they could do that, so uh... I'm curious, y'know?

video;

[fuelthefire]

Nah, I found the monsters in my PC box.

...that's how I found out my friends were gone.

[And it keeps happening.]

video;

[synchroswim]

Ah... Dude, I'm sorry.

_{[Even though he's still fumbling his way around having a full heart again, it's at least genuine.]}

They come back sometimes though, yeah?

video;

[fuelthefire]

[Aww, dude. ;u;]

Pffffff! Sometimes! And then they LEAVE again!

[Angel and Gaige have both come and gone twice now. He loves the creatures they've left in his care with all of his big meaty heart, but he'd rather the monsters were in their care.

...Speaking of, here is 'Dora the Sylveon, popping up in the video feed. He's claimed Krieg's lap, and, apparently sensing his unhappiness, aggressively headbutts his chin. The earlier remark about resembling a pastry has apparently been forgiven.

Headbutt accomplished, he boops his tiny Sylveon nose against the screen. Hello, new person, he hasn't seen you around, before!]
