65th treasure [video]

[captainash]

[Shared with the network today: a pair of Indeedee in the middle of a loving embrace. Without letting go, the female rambles on and on frantically, barely stopping to breathe. (Any Pokémon listening in will catch a very detailed, very embroidered description of the last 28 days.) Once in a while, the male nods solemnly and pats her shoulder, a soft smile on his face.

Off screen, Ash coughs. The pair does not notice.]


Did anyone else accidentally split up a couple last month and now feels terrible about it?


[Because he did and he does. A lot.]

... You owe them so many treats.

[ Hellebore, Jinx's own indeedee, at least seems to confirm that she has no such partner, but she's very distressed at what Ash's must have been going through. Can you hear her worried and somewhat disapproving chitters, Ash? ]

[captainash]

I am going to feed them an actual home-prepped candlelit dinner if I have to.

[Ash sounds just as distressed as Hellebore. He knows how much being separated from your partner sucks! How could he do this, even unwittingly?]

[fortuna_tenax]

[ Hellebore is absolutely trying to advise him on different recipes. Sorry honey, you can't speak people. ]

Well, it looks like you've got some recommendations... couldn't tell you what, but.

[captainash]

[Ash may not understand pokéspeech, but if he listens hard enough maybe he'll magically get it?]

And what a shame that is, because my romantic evening skills are rusty. ...Clap your hands twice for a meat dish, thrice for vegetarian?

[Hellebore please.]

[ Jinx has left the picture entirely to hold the Gear for Hellebore, who is deep in thought. After a moment she scuttles away and... returns with. Someone else's Gear? Oh no. Still, there's some search-and-peck typing for a moment before Hellebore turns the pilfered gear back for Ash.

It's several pictures, focusing on wild fruits, berries and root vegetables, mushrooms, and fish- at which point she opens her mouth as wide as she can to show she's got many little sharp teeth. ... And then a picture of a fancy dessert. ]

Ah, well. That cinches it.

[captainash]

Alright, alright...

[Ash sets the Gear down for a few moments, since the closest notebook is just a little beyond his reach. For something this important, taking notes is not optional.]

Fish, fruits and vegetables, I can work with that. And the dessert, of course, can't go wrong with something special. The trickiest part will be keeping the rest of the team away.

[fortuna_tenax]

You honestly might have to bench them a bit- I'm sure they'll understand though.

[ At least Hellebore looks satisfied... though, she might wind up pestering Ash for updates later. ]

[captainash]

Maybe if I play up the 'separated lovers' angle, they'll forgive me for not making enough for everyone.

[Offscreen, Ash looks at the pair, who are still very onscreen and very much snuggling.]

...Then again, with the way it's going, I don't think I'll need to play up anything.
