[TEXT]

Since this has been the gift that just keeps on giving for the last week or so, I've got to say that I almost prefer the crazy people trying to end the world.

But then, I've got the sort of Pokémon that start a new day every five minutes. I've been having the "holy shit, guys, it's just me" conversation starter with them for something like the last week - is there a way to get them to chill out, or am I just going to be dealing with this until some scientists get their shit together?


[...Well, okay, then.]


[ACTION]

[Well, anyone around Ecruteak will definitely have some idea of what she's talking about, given that she's outside with entirely too many Bergmites today; she tends to keep them out because Beastmaster always kept them out, and it feels weird keeping them in the damn ball when she's not traveling - but it also makes for a lot of inconveniences because holy shit these things are not smart and seem to have no grasp on object permanence, and they do not seem aware that their trainer is the same person and not some new threatening thing even if they look away for thirty seconds.

Not that they can be blamed exactly, because she's looking a little...wow that's kind of.

But she's also bored staying inside and she's been holding out hopes that maybe the Bergade over there will be a little more tolerable outdoors, and for the most part they are! At the very least they can entertain each other a little better by playing together and once in a while just sort of unceremoniously falling over, as tottering icicles are wont to do.

At least it's something, anyway, even if they do kind of notice her once in a while and make her go all Chris Pratt on them to get them to stop just advancing on her, doing the poor-dumb-icicle equivalent of DON'T TOUCH ME I'M BIG.]


Oh, for the love of god, guys -

Do you think there's a limit to how happy you're allowed to be?

[The text that hits the network this morning is anonymous and abrupt, with no fanfare to it; it's just...out there.]

I always thought things like that were bullshit, but it always ends up like that, yeah? You get too happy and something takes it away. You become the best at what you do and then you're on the wrong end of a scrappy underdog story and a bunch of down-on-their-luck jerks pull something out of their ass at the last minute. Everything you've done for years is wasted because it's just not your fucking year.

I don't like thinking this sort of thing's a zero-sum game, but it always is.

Does this happen to everyone, or am I just "lucky" like that?


[Well. Seems someone's having a hard day.]

So do you guys ever still think about how bizarre this place is, or do you pretty much just get used to it after a while? It's weird as hell, the stuff you just start accepting after a while – you don't even think about how most of us came from a place where cats don't hatch out of eggs.

(...I say "most" because some jerk out there's going to pop up and prove me wrong, you just watch. Even if you also hatch your damn cats, I'm pretty sure there's something here that's out of the ordinary.)

I don't know if there's much point to this, but there's not much point to anything that goes on around here, anyway. I don't know, even if this place is better than whatever's going on back home, sometimes you miss being useful, too. Another thing to get used to, I guess.

...No, really, I am getting sick of the kittens-from-eggs thing. I'm going to have more cats than I do Swablus at this rate.

I'm not really the sort for philosophical things, or romantic things, and I think I've told at least one person that I'm not good at Zen stuff, either. But once in a while something happens and it just sort of makes you think about the sort of stuff you wouldn't normally, I guess.

Do you ever think that we were brought here to meet someone specific? To maybe have an experience that we wouldn't have back home, and even if we won't remember it, for a little while we'll turn out better for it.

Or something.

Maybe it's just the season making me all nostalgic or something, who knows. It's a stupid question anyway. But it's something that I've been wondering about once in a while.

No one seems to know why the hell we're here anyway; that sounds as good as anything else.
