[Radley is sitting and writing at his kitchen table. Behind him, a window is half-open with the curtains blowing in the gentle breeze.]

So I've been wanting to organize a bi-weekly or monthly Duel Monsters get-together. I thought it would be nice for all of us who know about the Duel Monsters card game to get to know each other more, and to share the game with others here who might be interested. I talked it over with Marik months ago and was going to introduce it in July, but ... yeah, that didn't work out. I'm thinking now that with the hype of the upcoming tournament, it would probably be better to wait until that's over to start having the get-togethers, unless anyone would like to have at least one of them this month? I was just planning on casual games and socializing here at my restaurant in Goldenrod, nothing seriously competitive. Of course I'm sure at least some of you will want that at some point. [He smirks.] So if the get-together goes well, maybe sometime in the future I'll consider holding a mini tournament....

[He is suddenly interrupted by a wild Eevee jumping through the window. She lands on his shoulder, rubs against his head, and drops into his lap to keep cuddling. He laughs in bewildered shock.]

What the ... ?! Where did you come from?!

[Some of his Pokemon enter the video, bewildered as well. "Vee?!" Evie exclaims.

The wild Eevee keeps snuggling close, apparently with no intention of moving any time soon. Radley holds her, shaking his head in amusement.]

I don't even know this sweetheart. I have no idea why she randomly jumped through my window instead of someone else's, but I think she's decided she's adopting me?


((I was told this adorable story of a dog who basically did this and another about a kitty and I desperately wanted to incorporate it into Radley's story. I hope that's okay. He's only encountered two other Eevees in the wild, but he breeds them, so he has quite a few from that. I try to give him some variety in what else he has, and I think he's going to end up with six more cats very soon from unclaimed hatching eggs, but I really wanted it to be an Eevee claiming him this way.))

Only I'm pretty sure the swarm was this Hisuian variety. I'm not sure how they ended up here. Probably Cara Liss's fault. These are the only ones that are white, aren't they?

[scalpelofmarmora]

Hmm... I must have missed that then. Yes, the white ones with the pink are from the Hisuian region. The dark ones seem to be the ones from here. Trunti came from the Hisuian region when I was there.

[crystalmaster]

You're lucky. It was quite an experience.

[He nods.]

It's nice you were able to give Trunti a home. She seems happy with you.

[scalpelofmarmora]

Thank you. I'm happy to have her here. I suppose that is the best we can do for all of them, take care of them to best of our abilities.

[crystalmaster]

Yeah. I've got my hands full with that, but they help take care of me a lot too.

[scalpelofmarmora]

It is good that they help. You do have quite a collection.

[crystalmaster]

I sure do.

[Radley smiles fondly.]

And I love them all.

[scalpelofmarmora]

That is good. They seem to love you as well.

[crystalmaster]

They do. I'm really glad about that.

[His Pokemon cuddle up to him.]

[scalpelofmarmora]

It is good that they do seem to care.

[And now he has Foudre flop against him and look up at him]

Yes, I love you too.

[Foudre was happy about that]

[crystalmaster]

[Radley talks lovingly to his as well. Ruby, the newcomer, looks utterly blissful.]

She definitely fits right in.

[scalpelofmarmora]

I think she does as well. [She definitely looked happy]

[crystalmaster]

[Evie is getting used to the idea of Ruby being here. She warbles, "You have good taste!"

Ruby replies, "I know!"

Radley watches in amusement.]

I wonder what they're talking about. At least Evie doesn't seem jealous.

[scalpelofmarmora]

I think it is good. I'm not sure what exactly, but Irkut says it is good.

[Telepathic kitten for the win even if he hadn't figured out words]

[crystalmaster]

That's good.

[Radley smiles.]

They both seem happy about it.

[scalpelofmarmora]

[He nodded]

It is good that they both seem happy. I imagine it can be stressful if another Pokemon comes in when they were one that got more attention.

[crystalmaster]

Yeah. I've worried about that all along. Luckily, mine seem happy for more friends and even encourage more to come, sometimes.

[scalpelofmarmora]

That is good. Mine do as well. Foudre and Bet are a bit pickier but that is their nature and they warm up. The rest seem open to anything.

[crystalmaster]

That's great. Evie was a little lukewarm about Ruby, but she seems to be okay with her now. Evie loves new friends.

[scalpelofmarmora]

It's good that she is warming up now. Especially since you all live together it is better that they are able to work together.

[crystalmaster]

Yeah, I'm really happy we can all be a family.

[scalpelofmarmora]

[ooc: want to call the thread here since we have another?]
