[When the video feed first starts, it seems like it is filming nothing at all. Just a forest clearing a little after dark. Might this be an accidental recording of some sorts? Ah, no! It does seem to be focusing on something. To be exact, it seems to be focusing on an odd little pokemon, shyly poking it's... head? out of one of the bushes, before scurrying forward to start eating from a small pile of pokemon food left there.]

I hope I am not disturbing anyone this late.

[Armin doesn't pop into view, and his voice is soft, just above a whisper. It looks like he doesn't want to scare the shy little creature.]

Could anyone tell me what pokemon this is? I think my gear might be malfunctioning. [He hopes it isn't though, he wouldn't know how to fix it.] I won't show me any information when I try to scan it. I've not seen one of these on this route before. Is it a rare type?

[He's very curious to say the least.]

Thank you for your time.

EXCELLENT IDEA! PERHAPS THEY COULD SPEAK POKEMON LANGUAGE TO REASSURE IT! OR SING A SONG!

I'm not sure if Amadeus is much good at singing, but he does seem to have some skill at making friends.

[So far Amadeus has definitely been friendleadering all the pokemon they have. It helps that he is one of the most balanced and least murderous pokemon of their group.]

WELL, NOT EVERYONE CAN HAVE ALL THE WONDERFUL SKILLS OF FRIENDSHIP!

Video;

[schachmeister]

No, I suppose not.

[Like, Armin basically has very low friendship skills.]

Still, he'd be better than Juniper.

[Ah Juniper. She is not a bad pokemon, far from. She's certainly not like Blitz, who doesn't make friends because he is a round douchebag. No, Juniper doesn't seem to make friends well because she is rather shy and reserved. It reminds Armin of he used to be himself, if he is honest.]

PERHAPS YOU COULD GET SOME POINTERS FROM FRISK! THEY'RE THE WORLD'S BEST AT MAKING FRIENDS!

I don't know anyone by that name. Is-- Are they someone from your world, or did you meet them here?

Re: Video;

[coolskeleton_95]

THEY'RE THE HUMAN WHO FELL IN THE UNDERGROUND AND FREED ALL OF US MONSTERS! I'M SURE THEY'RE STILL IN JHOTO, BUT, THERE MUST NOT BE MANY PUZZLES WHERE THEY ARE, BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T CALLED ME FOR HELP!

It's good to hear you have friends from your world here too.

[Armin is definitely enjoying his stay in this world a lot more now he has some of his buddies here. At least this way he doesn't have to be concerned about them being at home.]

Are they the only person from your world here?

Re: Video;

[coolskeleton_95]

OHO! NOT AT ALL! METTATON, NAPSTABLOOK, AND ANOTHER MONSTER NAMED ASRIEL ARE HERE, AND OUR KING, ASGORE IS HERE AS WELL!

[schachmeister]

Monsters have a king?

[You know, he never thought about how monsterkind might be ruled. Hopefully they have a better king than they have.]

Re: Video;

[coolskeleton_95]

YES! HE'S A BIG SOFTY!

Video;

[schachmeister]

You seem to know him very well.

[Is Papyrus the sort of high placed... monsters that he spends a lot of time around the monster king? Armin, for one, would be able to tell at all what their king is like. You know, except corrupt and untrustworthy.]

Re: Video;

[coolskeleton_95]

EVERYONE IN THE UNDERGROUND DOES! HE DOES ALL SORTS OF NICE THINGS FOR US TO MAKE LIVING THERE BETTER! IT'S PART OF THE REASON WHY I WISH TO JOIN THE ROYAL GUARD!

Video;

[schachmeister]

[It's like hearing Marco talk. It makes Armin feel a little nostalgic.]

You sound a little like a friend of mine. I think you could make a good royal guard.

[If nothing else, Papyrus doesn't seem like the corruptible type. There is something incredibly earnest and straightforward about him. That, if nothing else, puts him far ahead the MPs of Armin's world.]

Re: Video;

[GASP]

Y-YOU THINK SO???? THANK YOU!!!!!

Video;

[schachmeister]

I mean, I know we haven't known each other for very long, but you seem very earnest and hard-working. I think those would be good qualities for a guard.

Re: Video;

[coolskeleton_95]

[No being able to properly do an eye sparkle, Papyrus does just that.]

THOSE ARE SOME OF MY BEST QUALITIES! YOU'RE AN EXCELLENT JUDGE OF CHARACTER!

Video;

[schachmeister]

Thank you.

[He looks a bit embarrassed.]

I'm curious. How do you become a royal guard where you are from? Is there a special process?

Re: Video;

[coolskeleton_95]

ALL APPLICANTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO HOLD THEIR OWN IN BATTLE, AND BE PHYSICALLY FIT! OF COURSE, THE FINAL DECISION COMES TO THE HEAD OF THE GUARD, AND THAT'S UNDYNE!

Video;

[schachmeister]

Are there a lot of people who try out?

[Being an MP, which is the road to being a royal guard, is a highly competitive function in their world.]

Re: Video;

[coolskeleton_95]

DOGS, MOSTLY! [Well, he's not wrong....]

Video;

[schachmeister]

D-dogs?

Re: Video;

[coolskeleton_95]

OH, YES! LET'S SEE, THERE'S DOGGO, DOGAMY AND HIS WIFE, DOGERESSA, AND OF COURSE LESSER DOG AND GREATER DOG!

Video;

[schachmeister]

Are we... talking about actual dogs or dog-monsters?

[And where is the line? What is the measure of a monster? Or, you know, a dog.]

Re: Video;

[coolskeleton_95]

ER, I SUPPOSE YOU WOULD CLASSIFY THEM AS DOG MONSTERS!
