-002- [Text] [Action for Violet City]

[me_first]

while we're all getting ready for this storm - very curious this sort of thing, not something i've dealt with before. not something that happened in cloudbank. would have caused many problems though fixing them would have been simple i suppose!

in any case, yes! the subject of this post!

from what i have seen and heard many people give their pokemon names. i suppose it makes sense! but i cannot decide on names for mine. nothing seems to fit! i have not named many sentient creatures before. the ones i have i have been told my names are not very creative.

['Jerk' is a totally valid name for a creature, okay.]

i am a programmer and engineer by trade but i do not think those terms are very fitting for my pokemon.

[Red took all of the function names already. He's tempted to name the cat 'Asher' even if the cat is female.]

i have:
- magnemite (neuter)
- sentret (male)
- purrloin (female)
- dratini (female)
- skarmony (female)
- gastly (female)
- bronzor (neuter)

i did not realize how many female pokemon i have until just now. oh well nothing to be done about it nothing at all. i would prefer if they follow some sort of consistent naming theme but if one seems fitting i suppose it can be an anomaly.

[And if anyone wants to speak to the nerd, he's sitting in the Pokemon Center in Violet City with a Magnemite orbiting around him and a Dratini clinging to his leg.]

yeah i mean

if they try to flamethrower your face off, that's probably not the kinda reaction you'd want even if that's a pretty big reaction

but hey, choosing the name can be a bonding experience then or something.

[me_first]

good thing i'm decent at dodging!

[rarestcandy]

flamethrowers even? cuz that's pretty impressive.

[me_first]

i've never tried. though i suppose it would be harder here without the functions i grew used to using.

[rarestcandy]

oh yeah? this place knocked out some ability from you too, huh?

[She didn't mind her own "ability" going bye-bye, but she felt sorry for Ralph's no-longer-inhuman strength.]

[me_first]

it took an item from me that allowed me different functions, yes.

[Though it's likely he wouldn't have had it anyway after the fight.]

[rarestcandy]

lame

maybe you'll get it back sometime. i got my goggles back once but they're gone now because i left for a while i guess

but it probably wouldn't let you do crazy stuff with it anymore anyway.

[me_first]

no. likely not. this world can't be modified in the same way.

[rarestcandy]

well

i mean acourse i don't know exactly what you're talking about

but sometimes we have these days where everything goes nutso? and people can turn into fluffy dragon cat things and go into the network and punch buildings to bits.

but everyone says those days are weird glitches, basically

so

[me_first]

... what? how is that even possible?

[rarestcandy]

idk man i'm just a little girl

patching up the code or something maybe?

anyway you'll know when it happens and there's a HUUUGE flash of light too for extra advertising

[me_first]

i'll keep that in mind.

[Maybe this place is more malleable than he thought...]

do you know anyone who might have more information on that sort of thing?

[rarestcandy]

nah not really.

some guys have been here for ages, but i don't know any of them, i don't think.

i usually just keep to myself or stay by ralph, on those days.

[me_first]

friend of yours?

[rarestcandy]

mhmmmmm and he's the one who can punch buildings to bits

nicely of course

i mean, it's his job, he's not doing it to be mean, or anything.

[me_first]

is he in some sort of construction business?

[rarestcandy]

kinda but he's the demolition part

[me_first]

i imagine that's needed in most worlds.

[rarestcandy]

i guess so

[Sugar Rush wasn't the right game for it either, after all. As far as anyone else was concerned, anyway.]

not where you're from though?

[me_first]

no. architecture can be changed easily! as long as one knows the proper methods, buildings can be built and torn down extremely quickly.

[rarestcandy]

faster than a super punch? because that's pretty fast.

[me_first]

not instantly, but within an hour or two.

[rarestcandy]

yeah, ralph's totally faster. sorry dude.

[me_first]

i don't really mind! i'm more into building than destroying anyway.

[rarestcandy]

that's cool, that's your business

world needs all sorts

so are you into building BUILDINGS or building stuff in general, like what kinda builder we talkin here?
