[It... definitely takes a while for the weekly after-execution note to arrive, but it does --- kind of scrawly and on ripped paper rather than nice stationery.]

EY. YO. WE GOT EFFIGIES IN THE DINING ROOM AND WE'RE GONNA BURN EM.

FOOD TOO. THE USUAL AND HOT COCOA. GOOD FOR THE SOUL. GET SOME. MAYBE TAKE IT BACK TO YOUR ROOM IF YOU HAVE TO. JUST GET SOME.

[Anyway, in the dining room, there's plenty of mugs set out, with a janky looking arrow sign pointing into the kitchen to where you can get your hot cocoa. On the table, there's Vichyssoise, a pot of green tea, and some booze. There's also a cookie tray on the floor away from the table on which to burn the Wordsmith and Kimbley effigies, which are handily placed near the food on the table.

...also if you go in the kitchen without shoes on just. Watch the northern corner. There's no kidneys, but there's a lot of broken plates there for some reason...]

Comments

[feistytrader]

[...Well, that's an easy topic, at least.]

Yeah. They all do.

[Silver opens the door a little wider so the Pokémon can get around his legs and look at Mikazuki; they're all visibly distressed, but they're doing their best.]

Polibo- he's a Politoed- is a water-type. He can hit really hard with jets of water or twist it into Whirlpools, for starters. Weavile's big on ice. He can freeze pretty much anything in an instant. Aibo's really strong, and can make himself a lot faster, then send that speed to another Pokémon.

[...None of them can do any of that here, of course, but still.]

[tsugomori]

That sounds quite incredible. It'd be nice to see it in action too.

[ Mikazuki passes the distressed Pokemon a smile too, because they might as well be people too as far as he's concerned. ]

But anyway, each Pokemon is a certain "type"? Is each type mostly consisting of just elements?

[feistytrader]

Depends on what you mean by elements. There's Fire, Ice, Electric... Psychic, Dragon, Bug...

[Ah yes, Pokémon and being a little too happy with its elements.]

[tsugomori]

...Bug is an element? When did this happen?

[ Naturally this confuses him. Ah yes, bless Pokemon... ]

[feistytrader]

Yeah. Strong against Dark, Psychic, and Grass, but takes hard hits from Rock, Fire, or Flying.

[...Pokémon--!]

[tsugomori]

[ Mikazuki looks confused. Luckily it's not because he got hit with confuse ray or anything. But it is evidently Pokemon-related. ]

Well, I think I can see why Bugs can be effective against grass, because in nature some do eat grass things. But, why are they strong against Psychic? Wouldn't something like that just throw things at the Bug Pokemon?

[feistytrader]

...They just are. Moves like Silver Wind or Bug Buzz hit them really hard.

[A lot of the different types make a lot of easy sense, but... That one's a little harder to explain.]

[tsugomori]

I see, I see.

Bug Buzz... well, that could be really a distracting sound to a Pokemon that's trying to meditate, if there's a consistent buzzing around happening.

[ ... Is he trying to understand Pokemon things? Yes, yes he is. ]

[feistytrader]

It's not just distracting. It's painful.

[Why isn't there an old saying about not pissing off Yanma? There should be.]

[tsugomori]

Buzzing can be painful?

[ That sounds particularly horrifying to him... ]
