[No video for you today, Johto, but there is some shuffling of feet, rustling of papers, and otherwise standard white-noise sounds of occupancy heralding you as this post first begins. There's also a light pitter-patter of padded paws across the carpet and, if one listens very closely, the faint trill of a particularly smug, self-important Espeon. That doesn't last for long, though, because soon enough there's a soft thump, and shortly thereafter Yagyuu's voice comes in—]

Lady, this is the third time—

[Another pleased trill.]

What's gotten into you lately? You've been underfoot for days, you've chased Masako, you bit Hirochii, I know you've been harassing Sudoku when you think I'm not watching—what? What is it. What are you trying to—

[Footsteps. A pause. A pause that drags on into awkward, disbelieving eternity.]

...You really felt it necessary to make your point six times over?

[There is a pleased trill from the world's smuggest Espeon, and the audio fades out; later, a text appears on the network.]

At the risk of attributing far too much credit to these Pokemon of ours, has anyone happened to notice them occasionally displaying motives that appear to be almost unsettlingly human in nature?

Sounds like you got it tough. How's Sudoku taking the whole thing?

Truth be told, I doubt she's even noticed. She misses Niou-kun, and there isn't much way to console her in that.

... It's tough when that happens.

And you?

I can't help but notice Lady's antics, Fuji-kun. I'm the one currently stuck with six Eevee eggs and a limited time to figure out what to do with them.

Can't you just ask people to adopt them? That would save you the effort of having to take care of any of them.

Maybe someone on your team would want one.

It's a possibility that's crossed my mind. Assuming Lady will let me adopt them out, that is, which may prove easier said than done.

Anything I can do to help? [Not that he's really sure there is anything at all, but still.]

[usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com]

Would you care to fight Lady for me?

[superrising.livejournal.com]

Uh...

Do you mean me or my pokemon, because if she's pretty high-leveled...
