Marceline knows a few creep shows back in Ooo, but she certainly won't be naming any of her 'mons after them. There must be more to Drifter's creep show than he's letting on, but if it's a sensitive topic she's not going to push it. He's been pretty darn open about general stuff from his world. Less so about people. Actually, if she's remembering right, this may be the first time he's mentioned someone specific to her. But hey, he can keep people secrets if he wants. Sometimes that's just how people roll.

Anyway, while his relaxed manner when redirecting Orin is reassuring, she continues to watch the Meowstic suspiciously even when it's no longer staring at Zubat.

"I guess that's as good a reason as any to adopt one of these guys."

She hasn't run into any Pokemon quite like that yet, though. So far her strategy for catching 'mons has been to let Noibat out and see if there was anyone nearby she wanted to make friends with. They've had excellent luck so far.

"Hey, speaking of, did you ever make it out to check out the bug swarms? I never did see anything that really caught my eye, but they were sure a heck of a lot of fun to battle."
