Hypothetically speaking, is it ever okay to steal a pokemon?

Unrelated second question -- what's a better name, Chief or Sarge?

[sassymaru]

Hm. Yes. Now that you mention it... I do see the resemblance.

He's just missing glasses, really.

[nightyorb]

Shit, you are right

[Moments later, Shadowmaru receives a second picture. Same dog, but this time with crab sunglasses perched on his snout.]

too bad these are the only glasses I've got.

[sassymaru]

[Oh no. That's hysterical.]

Why I think those suit him perfectly!

[nightyorb]

I tried to take 'em back and he licked the inside of my ear. Dogs are gross.

[Riz loves him.]

[sassymaru]

He likes you! What an honor!

[He's not laughing, shhh.]

[nightyorb]

I'll make him lick the inside of your ear the next time you come down here.

[sassymaru]

I'm quite used to that sort of display, sorry to disappoint.

[nightyorb]

From the dogs or from Mando

[sassymaru]

I BEG YOUR PARDON??

[sassymaru]

The DOGS of COURSE

We don't

we don't ENGAGE in

[Shadowmaru cannot hear Riz, but please know that he is cackling like the little gremlin he is.]

[sassymaru]

[No, he can't, but the lack of text hasn't stopped him really.]

We have DONE things
but that is

we don't want to talk about that!
you don't want me to talk about that!

[nightyorb]

You know, I actually really don't.

So lets forget about that and talk about when you are coming to visit instead.

[sassymaru]

Yes, let's forget it. Entirely.

Ah - I hadn't considered it. I didn't wish to intrude.

[nightyorb]

Who says you are intruding?

[sassymaru]

It's... rather more a feeling. I doubt there is any truth to it, but feelings can be difficult to ignore.

[nightyorb]

I'm not the person to talk to about feelings, but Mando likes you around for obvious reasons that we are not discussing. I like having someone here who can look at my clue boards and actually get them. And you know Boober gets excited any time he can cook for even more people.

And you know I am a terrible liar, so what I am saying must be true.

[sassymaru]

The worst of liars - perhaps that should go on your resume.

[Are we brushing off the assurances? Just a bit. Sorry Riz. Just give him a second here.]


We spoke of this, somewhat. Mando and myself. It's - something I am not quite skilled with. Being part of a group.

[nightyorb]

I get it. I never had any friends before I met the Bad Kids either. And sometimes I still don't really know how to act around them. But life is infinitely better with them around.

[sassymaru]

So it is.

I was not deeply involved with the other units, either. Out of them all, there was never a combined form planned for me. It - sets one apart.

[nightyorb]

Combined form? Like... a team up?

[Nobody has told Riz about when two robots become one.]

[sassymaru]

Oh ah... most of our number can physically combine with one another. Such as the Build team. Five individuals combine into one, much larger unit.

[singlespacedad]

Riz.

Shadowmaru is a gentleman. He won't tell you things you know you don't want to hear.

I'm not. Never have been, never will be. Keep this up, and you WILL get answers.

Re: chiming in

[nightyorb]

[Nope nope nope. Abort mission. Bonus action disengage. Fucking hide.]

I'll be good

[singlespacedad]

Smart choice, kid.
