Ladies, gentlemen, I wish you all a happy new year.

[Cecil's tone is the same he's used for dozens of formal addresses back in Baron. Coupled with such a short greeting, it sounds... odd.]

Every new year should come with a resolution. Ideally one that can be achieved with hard work but without unnecessary privation.

[Which is why there's currently a cup of coffee in his hands. Not getting rid of that anytime soon.]

I've found one that suits me, but I'll need everyone's help to prepare. Can you think of any Pokémon species that you've not seen any of us train, at least at the moment? The type and the temperament matter little; the only criterion of importance is the lack of popularity. Any interesting lead would be greatly appreciated.

[He moves to turn the Gear off, stops himself, speaks once more.]

...Also, I've found myself in possession of far too much chocolate liqueur for me to consume. Would anyone be so kind as to take some of it off my hands?

[Oh, hello again - ]

So I'm curious. Is it because you want to be unique or because you want everything to be equally loved or what? The whole...resolution thing.

...That actually sounds kind of interesting. It's a different sort of challenge than I'm used to, yeah, but then I never really put much stock in raising anything before I came here. And then it became a necessity, but you know.

[It's not like there's a whole lot of choice.]

Best of luck in figuring out what you want to raise, though. I'd imagine that's not going to be too easy, a lot of people's teams are pretty broad.

Holy shit, there's chocolate liqueur? Sign me up.

[NAKI NO]

As for your resolution, uh... Are Inkays popular? I can't remember seeing anyone else with one. Well, one I didn't give to them.

[It's probably obvious why Naki's asking about Inkays, given just how many are in the frame of the video. Five? Six? There's a lot of them. They're sitting on Naki's lap or beside him on the couch and chirping excitedly as he speaks.]

Malamars are total bitches in battle too. You don't fuck with Malamars. You'd think they'd be more popular, since they're Psychic- and Dark-types. But hey, that's just my opinion!

[AND HE'S HELLA BIASED]
deaftly: (UHH 💦 i think i fucked up my entrance)

[personal profile] deaftly 2016-01-07 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
I'll take whatever you want to get rid of!

[oh my god]

I can send an egg your way the next time I get one? They're great, I totally love these little fuckers.

[The Inkays are apparently perfectly fine with this despite Naki's language, and they all kind of squish in on him.]

Hey, hey, knock it off. But yeah, otherwise uh... I'm pretty sure most of my others are pretty common. So I can't really help you there.
deaftly: (SMILE 💦 you're almost as cute as me)

[personal profile] deaftly 2016-01-08 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
Fuck yeah, that sounds great!

[sorry, cecil]

Yeah, don't mention it. They're really great and they've got the best evolution method! You shove 'em in a bottle, spin 'em around, and then they pour out like fucking champagne!

[naki please]

Malamars are fucking great, they're really strong and they're really good at fucking with their opponents. So you definitely won't be disappointed!
deaftly: (UHH 💦 i think i fucked up my entrance)

[personal profile] deaftly 2016-01-09 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[I AM SO SORRY CECIL]

Nah, they're pretty cool with it. They're a little disoriented for awhile, but what the fuck would you expect otherwise? They don't get mad at you for it or anything!

...And I'm pretty sure that's how you're supposed to do it? I mean, they sell that shit in the Goldenrod Department Store, so...?

[...is this a bad thing, he just thought it was hilarious.]
deaftly: (OMG 💦 FOUR GEM LIONS??)

[personal profile] deaftly 2016-01-09 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I think it probably is.

[THINGS HE NEVER CONSIDERED, UM]

I know they evolve pretty late, but I don't remember the exact level. I've got it written down somewhere. But if you try to evolve 'em early nothing happens. Uh. Not that I'd suggest that.

[...it's pretty funny though.]
deaftly: (WHAT 💦 speak up i can't hear shit)

[personal profile] deaftly 2016-01-09 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
...They normally just sleep on my bed and they're perfectly fine, so...

[That's. Probably not the point, is it. Um.]

I'm pretty sure they're okay with it? They've never gotten too mad at me. Not like I shove them in the fucking bottles all the time or anything, but you know what I mean.
deaftly: (UHH 💦 i think i fucked up my entrance)

[personal profile] deaftly 2016-01-12 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
They're pretty fucking chill. They've gotta be if that's the only way to evolve them... I haven't tried anything else though.
foolishwren: is the phrase "going to chipotle with aristotle" funnier if you mispronounce 'chipotle', or 'aristotle'? (Hmmm...)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2016-01-14 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. I'm drawin' a blank. Mostly I just keep thinking of the ones I've seen too MANY people trainin'.

[Most of hers fall under that category... but hmm.]

[After a moment's thought, she leans down and reaches under wherever she's sitting, before pulling out a large, fluffy, and sort of sparkly-looking golden Larvesta, which wiggles and squeaks in objection to being removed from its hiding spot and put on camera.]


Ever seen anybody train one of these? I think I'm the only person I know who has one...
foolishwren: there's some british kids doing really scary shit to a pig head (so i went to Mad At You Island and. um)

[Video]

[personal profile] foolishwren 2016-01-16 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, definitely. Eevees are a dime a dozen.

[Not that she doesn't love them. There's a REASON they're so popular, after all-- everybody likes Eevees!]

--and oh! Volcarona? Is that what these little guys evolve into? I haven't actually, uh... done much research...

[Setting the plump, fluffy bug down in her lap (it promptly buries its head into the crook of her elbow), she rubs the back of her neck.]

She was, yeah. My dad got her before... uh. Before he left.
foolishwren: ... COUNT EVEREST (hey what's the world's tallest vampire)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2016-01-17 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
--well, you don't have to apologize, I don't know what a Volcarona looks like or anything, so...

[She looks down at the bundle of fluff.]

I... confess, I haven't really trained her at all. She's... kinda shy. So mostly she's just been around the house.

Makes a damn good nightlight, though.
foolishwren: and every scar I have makes me who I am. (We were put here on earth to feel joy)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2016-01-24 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that too!

Like a hot water-bottle. ... 'Cept softer.

[It helped that Carrie liked to be in laps.]
foolishwren: the saddest part was definitely when Augustus fell into the chocolate river and got sucked up into that tube thing (uh yea ive read The Fault in Our Stars)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2016-01-25 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
HEH, that too!

Hey, was yours real quiet? Like... I can't tell if she's just got a really shy personality of if all of 'em are like that.

Hm.

I don't think I've seen Carrie 'talk' with anyone.

Maybe she's just a real introvert. ... Or a good listener.
