[Text, early December]

I got told about evolution, so I was expecting one of my Pokemon to change shape eventually, but.

Did I just miss hearing the part where they start beaming images into your head?

[Orrery has discovered telepathy! Let's not talk about how long it took Orrery to get Loop to realize it was her.]


[Snomstorm! Goldenrod, between Dec 14th-16th]

[A]

[So it's a good thing Loop went and caught a fire Pokemon recently, because the vending machines at their inn (motel?) are both de-powered and emptied to the last dregs. Loop's had to emerge from the depths of their room to get groceries. And in the fifteen minutes they've been outside, slogging through the snow and trying to find a place that's open despite the power outage...]

[Their Metang has somehow managed to get herself frozen to a fence. Loop is currently trying to coax their new Cyndaquil - who is draped over their bag - to wake up and melt her free.]

[They like naps as much as anyone else, but:] Come on, you've barely been awake for five minutes since yesterday...

[Orrery, meanwhile, is letting out a baffled whirring sound. She's not used to having arms or being so big, and apparently she generates JUST enough heat to slowly melt snow, then get stuck when she touches something colder and it refreezes. Like someone licking a metal pole. But she only has one arm stuck, and surely she can use the other one to lever herself free?]

[- whoops, no, now she has both of them stuck.]

[B]

[Or maybe it's a bit later, and Loop is ducking under the eaves of the Game Corner next to you. Why? To avoid a sudden shower of falling Snoms from the roof! The surprisingly heavy bugs thump into the snow like little icy missiles, whizzing by terrifyingly close.]

[C]

[Or, as the snow has intensified and REALLY started to pile up, you've found yourself completely turned around! (Unless you know exactly where you are, and you're actually looking for someone or something else? Did one of your Pokemon run out into the storm, maybe?)]

[Whatever the reason you're out, it seems like there's a fire flickering in the distance - if you approach, you'll find Loop, shivering and holding their Cyndaquil to their chest. Burnoît, fortunately, seems to have woken up and figured out what Loop wants! The lil guy is flaming a path through the snow.]

[(For once in their life, Loop has returned Orrery to her ball.)]


[Wildcard!]

As usual, happy to figure something else out, just DM or Plurk me!

She is!

Does that. Have something to do with spoons?

Or brain pictures?

[epitaffio]

You know, like that guy from TV?
Uri Geller?

[loopsiedaisy]

[...]

I don't know who that is.

[epitaffio]

Oh

He's this guy who bent spoons on TV

[loopsiedaisy]

[Oh.]

I guess she could probably do that.

[Well, it explains why she didn't do anything when they brought her one... it was a disposable plastic one, it would have just snapped.]

[epitaffio]

I know there's definitely some Psychic Pokemon who can do it!
Like Alakazam, right?

[loopsiedaisy]

Oh yeah! They do carry around spoons, don't they.

I wonder why spoons and not any other cutlery.

[Please hold. They're asking Orrery.]

1/2

[epitaffio]

Didn't we just talk about this? It's because of Uri Geller

[epitaffio]

Wait...
That makes no goddamn sense.

[loopsiedaisy]

Because of him?

I thought he was just like. A Psychic type human.

[...]

Orrery wasn't sure why spoons either.

[epitaffio]

Hold on, humans don't have types!!!

[loopsiedaisy]

[???]

Why wouldn't humans have a type?? Everyone does

[epitaffio]

[... ??????]

What's YOUR type?

(personally I think it'd translate to Flying -)

[loopsiedaisy]

Well, it used to be Scissors...

I guess it might've changed here. Maybe I'm Steel type now?

wow... doppio is canonically weak to scissors... amazing

[epitaffio]

Huh?
You really did have a type???

heckin RIP

[loopsiedaisy]

Yeah??

Did you really not have one??

[epitaffio]

No!

[loopsiedaisy]

But how would that even work

Maybe

Maybe where you come from humans only have one type?? There's more types here than where I come from

[epitaffio]

NO!
I just don't think there's types over where I'm from

[......

wait a second

stands have types

...]

Wait so what kinds of types did your world have?

[loopsiedaisy]

[People can't just not have a type!! It's already weird enough to think about a world where people don't notice their type...]

Rock, Paper, and Scissors

Those were the ones people could have, anyway.

[epitaffio]

[... Doppio is suddenly a whole lot less sure that he ISN'T being fucked with.]

What does that MEAN???

[loopsiedaisy]

There's some other types people out there could learn to use? Like Healing. But I've never heard of someone being Healing type.

[Oh, was Doppio asking about the Rock/Paper/Scissors types? Nothing weird about those, definitely not!]

[epitaffio]

But what the hell does it mean to be Scissors type?!

[1/2]

[loopsiedaisy]

It's just Scissors type??

[They don't know what to tell you Doppio! It's very straightforward!]

[2/2]

[loopsiedaisy]

[...hang on. Is this like... Doppio's version of the thing with the spoons and the TV guy. Does Doppio just not know what Scissors Craft is associated with.]

Uh. It's also called Piercing Craft, sometimes

It has to do with sharp or pointy things, or going fast, or tearing through things... or getting to the heart of a problem. Editing things down or cutting them into smaller pieces. Simplifying stuff and being direct, I guess?

[They're really not good at putting this into words. It wasn't of particular interest to them or something they spent time thinking about, it just... was.]

...but if you're fighting with it, mostly sharp things and going fast.
