Video

[scalpelofmarmora]

[Video opens with Ulaz looking a little less than impressed about something. At the moment, it is hard to tell what it is, but you will soon find out]

So, we had something happen just now that I had not considered would be a problem.

[Off screen was the sound of an Espurr squeaking. Ulaz glanced over, now looking slightly more amused once he did]

Irkut, what did you do?

[Another Espurr squeak. Finally, Ulaz turned the video feed to show his Espurr, Irkut, standing not too far away… partially wrapped up in what appears to be yarn or thick string. He didn’t seem to be in distress by it, just… wrapped in colorful yarn. Foudre the Poochyena was nearby, sniffing at him as though to try and figure out if she could help while a Rookidee hopped around in the background, clearly unconcerned with the "dilemma" going on nearby. When Irkut was done with letting Foudre worry over him, he began to walk away… dragging a big mess behind him]

Irkut, come here and let me help with that.

[Irkut stopped toddling away, turning back to him, squeaking again happily before heading in his direction]

[Radley can't help but laugh.]

Yeah, that is something that could happen with kitties on my world too.

[scalpelofmarmora]

I'm not sure what I was expecting as this seems to be a feline thing in my world as well, but I was not expecting this little one to be the cause of something like this.

[He decided to sit down on the floor as Irkut came toddling over with his yarn train. Irkut chirped in greeting at Radley]

[crystalmaster]

He seemed too serious for it?

[Radley chuckles at the sight and smiles at Irkut.]

Hi there. You really get wrapped up in your work, huh?

[All the Eevees say Hello too!]

[scalpelofmarmora]

Perhaps. More that I never saw any interest in them until I found him just now.

[Irkut has made his way over, settling in with Ulaz. He squeaked in greeting to the Eevees before replying to Radley. Yes, he had gotten a bit wrapped up while playing]

[crystalmaster]

That must have been kind of a surprise then.

[Radley is definitely amused.

Evie thinks it looks like fun!]

[questioneverything]

Ooohh... [Romelle tried to stifle a giggle.] Ulaz, I'm sorry. It looks like Irkut has been having some fun.

[scalpelofmarmora]

It is well. As long Irkut is not harmed.

[The Espurr chirped to confirm that he was unharmed and had been playing. Not that it was easy for humans to understand, but Ulaz settled himself on the floor, quickly having Irkut join him in his lap and try to peer into the camera. Who you talking to?]

Yes, he was having quite a bit of fun.

[questioneverything]

[She chuckled some more.]

How did you come into having so much yarn?

[scalpelofmarmora]

I purchased them to be able to work on some projects that I have long thought about, but not been able to do anything with.

[questioneverything]

Oh... projects? Like what?

[Now she was curious.]

If you don't mind me asking, that is...

voice;

[shiro2hero]

Need some help cat-proofing your hobbies?

[If Shiro sounds amused, it's because he is. Extremely so. That's... frankly, that's adorable.]

voice;

[scalpelofmarmora]

Yes, that would be appreciated. I have never had to cat-proof something before.

voice;

[shiro2hero]

Happy to help.

I can come out to you? If you're all right with that?

[scalpelofmarmora]

Yes, that would be fine. And you can meet the small team that I have begun to gather together.

[Including the Espurr that had finally reached him. Too bad you can't see the cute mess that he is, sitting down next to Ulaz so that he can start trying to untangle him]

[shiro2hero]

I'd like that.

Where should I head out to?

[titanbabysitter]

Seems to me you have a challenge now. Foudre is going to be busy keeping that one in line.

[scalpelofmarmora]

Yes, it does. Irkut is going be challenging now. Foudre seems determined to stop him from it, but he is a psychic pokemon.

[Espurr is toddling over in his direction]

[titanbabysitter]

Intriguing. I think Foudre met their match. It's hard to keep everyone in line. Eveyr one in a while someone acts up or goes rogue.

[scalpelofmarmora]

I suspect that she may have. She may be older, but Irkut has psychic abilities on his side. She still holds the top spot though on the team though.

[Moving to sit down on the floor so Irkut can come right up next to him]

I suppose it is also good for him to practice his abilities so he can work on using them safely.

[He had read the information about Espurrs so he had been forewarned they were actually fairly powerful little Pokemon]

[titanbabysitter]

[He gave a nod.]

Yes that is probably a good way to look at it. Did you need any help at all? Or a break?

[insidegalra]

[Thace is chuckling softly, and so is Athvrix, who's perching on his shoulder.]

Athvrix enjoyed playing with things like string when she was a kitten too.

[She gives Thace a betrayed look, but Thace just looks more amused.]

The colors are lovely though.

[scalpelofmarmora]

[Ah, an appropriate person to see the video of this. Ulaz moved to sit on the floor, gesturing for Irkut to come over. Unfortunately, even when he was "hurrying", he only went so fast]

Yes, it must be something that these little ones enjoy. Thank you. I hadn't had the opportunity to start anything before he found them.

[Irkut made it over and clambered into his lap to see the video, giving a squeak when he got there. Hello, family!]

[insidegalra]

[Athvrix gives Irkut a trill of hello, and then purrs. She's proud of the little one!]

What are you planning to make? I'm very interested in the results and the process both.

[scalpelofmarmora]

[Irkut replies with a few more squeaks before purring as well, "flopping" back against Ulaz. He was a good kitten who has been helping a lot! ... which Ulaz would agree with]

I was planning on working on some of the arts that were lost in our world. Not many still practice them after all.

[insidegalra]

[That's very good. Helping trainers is what they are the best at!]

I would love to learn. I focused mostly on dances and history in general, but any lost bit of culture is dear to me. I just might not be very skilled at it.

[Thace chuckles.]
