[Video]

[Don't question why this dipshit is doing this video outside with a mudbray leaning against his side and... well, at least the krabby is still on his shoulder and a crabrawler is sitting on the other shoulder looking quite pleased with herself.]

Right, so an interesting question came up in a conversation with one of the people I'm travelling with.

This place is quite odd as it is, as are these creatures, I know back home that horses were the primary mode of transportation. Whether by riding, carts, caravans, etc. In this place, is that still the case or are some other creatures used for those types of tasks...?

[He's shifting the camera to look at the mudbray who looks a little surprised to have the camera at her and is immediately bucking back with a loud little whinny. Lovely.]

Clearly she isn't much yet, but according to the guide on these creatures, she'll somehow turn into a draft horse...? Weird, but clearly knights and draft horses are quite one in the same in how they operate. But yes, if you happen to know any other creatures suitable for riding, please do let me know.

[ The subject of transportation has been on Rainer's mind a lot lately, what with how much traveling they've been doing. And it would seem it's been on Fitzroy's mind, too!

She waits until he's done recording his video, then wheels herself over, Pokedex in her lap. ]

Oh, Fitzroy, that reminds me! You know that little electric ghost one I caught? The one that's like a flying red diamond shaped thing? [ Rotom, she means Rotom. ] The guide says they can possess machines and power them, so I was thinking... I'm going to try to get Buzz to power my chair!

[Transportation is a big dealio as far as he's concerned, walking everywhere is an utter drag and he'll never understand why anyone does it.

For fun? Psssh.

Though he doesn't turn his attention to her rather quickly, hearing the wheelchair first and knowing she's the only one it could be.]

The electric ghost... Oh! Yes, I do remember you telling me about that one. Though, ah, perhaps it might be a better idea to do it a little at a time? Just in case it's too much for just that one little creature? [He's running on principle of the same thing with horses, you break them in and go slowly. Not just full on riding them, that's dumb and dangerous.]

[necrodentia]

Oh, no! Yeah. Of course, I'll take it slow while I'm training them. A little bit at a time, until they get the hang of it, right?

[ She doesn't want to overwhelm the poor thing just so she doesn't have to push herself everywhere. ]

I have a feeling it might be slow going anyway... They seem to be a little, uh. Distractable.

[maplecourt]

[Oh thank goodness. Not that he really had any doubt that Rainer wouldn't do the intelligent idea here, even if he seems visibly more relaxed than a few moments prior.]

Of course, that's the best course of action.

[... Hm.]

You... you aren't incorrect in that assumption. But considering the little thing is pretty much mostly electricity, I can't say I'm very surprised.

[necrodentia]

Do you think maybe you could talk to them? Lightning's sort of your... thing, right? Maybe you and them can develop some kind of connection! ...Or are you more thunder-focused?
