II. the priestess's third wish | video | violet city

[fullmoonfortune]

[Ryoji's grinning this evening because - not only is it Tanabata, one of the festivals he never had the chance to celebrate back home - his Eevee egg has hatched! The sleepy fox pokémon in question is lolling around beside him, and he's scratching her stomach softly as he shows her off.]

Hello everyone! It's Ryoji again. I hope everyone's celebrations are going well, and that you've made your wishes! I know I have.

[The Eevee yawns and Ryoji chuckles, turning the 'Gear away from her and back to himself.]

I guess Orihime-chan's still a little tired. She's named after the beautiful woman from the legend - isn't that great? I thought it'd be fitting, since she was born today.

[And while he is super interested about wishes, he won't ask about anyone's in public.]

[And it is! But Ryoji's focus is most on the first part -- he likes finding Eeveebuddies.] Ah, have you had an Eevee before?

1/2

[usedlaserbeam]

[...Um. Well.]

[usedlaserbeam]

I've raised a few of them, yes. I believe I'm up to eleven now, all told.

[fullmoonfortune]

Eleven? Wow! How do you take care of all of them?

[usedlaserbeam]

I frequently ask myself the very same question, these days.

They're daunting to manage, but it's not impossible. Two are the mother and grandmother of another six, so they at least can keep them somewhat in line. And the other three I inherited from people who departed Johto.

[fullmoonfortune]

It sounds pretty exciting... I wonder if I'll have that many one day.

[Legitimate excite yo dude LOVES cute fox pokemans.]

[usedlaserbeam]

[Ryoji no save yourself bro you know not what you do.]

For your sake, I should hope you don't. It's one thing to imagine and experience them in small doses; it's quite another to be responsible for them full-time.

Though if your Orihime-chan takes the same perspective as Lady, you should be safe from such an outcome unless you should happen to slight her.

[fullmoonfortune]

[But they're so cute!]

I'll try my best not to then, but what kind of perspective does your Lady take?

[usedlaserbeam]

[That's one word for it.]

She's proud and selfish, and doesn't tolerate competition for her status as the favorite in my affections. So I doubt you'll have any trouble with extras, if she'd only see them as threats to her own position.

[fullmoonfortune]

[...She sounds like a princess.]

Wow. It really sounds like she'd have a hard time getting along with the rest of your Pokémon. Or most anyone.
