[She totally thinks it's normal. After all, Gundam did it all the time.]

Yes, that is his name. [She didn't make them up. Please blame their chuuni master, okay?!] Unfortunately, I don't know if they have some specific purpose or meaning. They were named such by their former master and he is not here to ask.

[gottacatch]

I see... [ He doesn't, but that's what you say. There's a pause, and then he taps the table a few times as he speaks. ]

Did they come from this island and then he left one day without them? I worry about that happening too with the creatures I've been training here.

[properprincess]

[She looks at the Devas, trying not to let the pain of everything show on her face until she can collect herself. As is, the air around them is cooler than before and a wind starts to gently tug at the loose strands of Sonia's hair.

The hamsters, sensing her unhappiness, have started to cling to her hair and hands and are squeaking softly. She responds by softly petting all four.]

No, they come from my world. They...belonged to my classmate, as I have said. He... died and they were left in my care. When I appeared here, they were with me.

[gottacatch]

[ Try as she might to not make it show, it's obvious -- Red first not realising what her shift in demeanour was for, but then catching on that oh,

he just knocked into a live electrode. ]

I'm sorry. [ His hands come up, apology ready once she's finished. His gaze goes from her to the hamsters, then back to her again. ] I thought, since they were his but they're here... a trainer I knew went back with his pokémon.

[ It's his explanation, and his hands come down to settle on the table. An apologetic look still sits on his face. He'd thought she'd said something about returning too, but... ]

It's good you've been looking after them for him. [ ... ] Does the city have everything you need for them?

[properprincess]

[It's definitely not a topic she likes to talk about, but how can anyone know what to avoid asking if she doesn't say and they just stumble into the topic anyway.]

I... It's a touchy topic, but you couldn't have known. [She tries for a reassuring smile, but her face feels like plastic.] I suppose for all intents and purpose they are my companions now, unless Tanaka-san somehow shows up.

It's the least I can do to take care of them in his stead. They've been very good for me as well. And the city has provided a good deal to help me with them. Their diet is predominately seeds and nuts, so those are easy to procure with my pay.

[gottacatch]

Mm -- that's good. [ Then no hassle with their feed. ] And they don't need any special exercise? Like mental training?

[ For being good fellow incantation...ers to their deceased owner, rest in peace?? ]

[properprincess]

Hm... No, I don't think so? I have an exercise wheel for them and they have like a little house that they can crawl all over and plenty of things to nibble so that their teeth stay nice and sharp.

I've never really had a pet before, but I am doing mostly what I think they would need to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle. Besides, they spend a great deal of time with me. They are excellent company.

[gottacatch]

They sure look like it. They seem to care about you a good deal. [ He nods to them, and how they had gotten closer upon realising the change in her state. ]

But if that's all they need, that's fine. When you said about incantations and... that, I thought about how we train pokémon and keep their skills from getting rusty!

[properprincess]

[She gives Red a sad smile.]

I am very lucky in that regard. I know that they were close to their former master. Should he show up, I would relinquish them back into his care. However, I would miss them as well.

As far as how they assisted [slow pause, cool breeze] Tanaka-san, I don't know much about that. He was very private about his skills and techniques in that regard.

[gottacatch]

Well, if you're ever worried they're not getting all the exercise they ened, you can ask me -- or Cilan! Since he's the expert.

[ But he feels he shouldn't stay on the subject any longer than that, so once that's said, he hurries to continue speaking: ]

But for now, I'd really like to get the chance to know you more, if that's okay with you. I got distracted when we started talking about pokémon. [ Eheh. ]

[properprincess]

I will definitely keep that under consideration.

[Especially the Cilan part. Because of reasons.]

Hm, what would you like to know? Unless it is too terribly personal, I would be glad to answer it.

[gottacatch]

Well, how about... [ He thinks on it, eyes on the table briefly before returning on her. ] If it's alright, what about your home, where you're from? Or your hobbies and things you like?

Whichever's the easiest to talk! I want to hear about something that makes you happy!

[properprincess]

[She considers talking about Novoselic, but after so close to speaking about Gundam, even tangentially, she'd rather not. Instead, she latches onto the subject of her hobbies.]

Hm, I like to read a lot. Learning is something that I've had to do my whole life, but I actually enjoy it. Especially when it's something that might be useful later.

[She puts a finger to her mouth in deep thought.]

As for my hobbies, I...have been told that they are fairly extreme. I like watching movies and dramas from Japan. The occult fascinates me, like magic and demons and such. I also study serial killers from my world.

[gottacatch]

[ ...alright, she had him in the interested category and then straight to the 'what' category at that last one. ]

Huh? You mean those "World's Most Horrific Crimes" type shows...?

[ Watching them is a form of studying, right. ]

[properprincess]

[That's the one that usually gets everyone.]

Well, I have watched those shows, but some are so poorly researched that they are more fiction than actual fact.

No, I like reading articles on the internet and books about famous killers. There is one that ended up being in the year behind me in school. She was responsible for the murders of countless men and she would write the words "Blood Lust" in their blood beside their crucified bodies.

[gottacatch]

[ This... was definitely not something he expected to hear, or for his skin feel uncomfortable to be in after she explained. Talking about murder with that sort of interested expression on her face...

Yeah. It's more than a little uncomfortable. ]

Isn't that sick? What do you like about that...?

[properprincess]

[Everyone always judges her. That's so not cool.

She looks a little crestfallen at his reply.]

I know that it isn't a very popular hobby, but I find the psychopathy of such people interesting. More like the "why" than the "how" is what I like to learn about.

[gottacatch]

[ He does try for about a few seconds to even consider indulging the subject and maybe asking more about it. Does it work?? ]

...I've seen one too many people dead to care about why people like that do it again and again. [ Nope, definitely not. He's at least attempting not to wear a completely disgusted look on his face. ] What about the movies you watch? They're not the same... are they?

[ please don't be the same gory material. ]

[properprincess]

[Slowly, she nods, seeing the validity behind his reasoning, but not necessarily agreeing with him.]

I might not be a princess here. Or, well, the title might not have much meaning, truly, but I still have the duty to learn as much as I can about being a good leader. Because my country is an absolute monarchy, I might sometimes find myself being a judge in a criminal case. I think it is only right that I should learn as much as I can about such matters so that I can serve all of my people well.

And I don't only just watch horror movies. I enjoy dramas about love and betrayal and every day life. I don't limit myself in those things either.

[gottacatch]

[ ...mhrrr, the princess thing might have been more interesting to find out when not talking about serial killers and horror, but what can you do. ]

Well... our tastes wouldn't be the same, but there wouldn't be anything wrong if you did stick to horror movies most of the time. As long as there's a big selection to choose from! And ghost dramas too!

[properprincess]

[One thing doesn't rule out the other. Just wait until he finds out the rest.]

Oh, I love dramas about the supernatural and the occult. In fact, learning about the occult in general is one of my favorite things. It varies from culture to culture and nation to nation. The differences and similarities are all so fascinating!

[gottacatch]

The occult... isn't that about people who try to call on ghost pokémon to make a link to the other side? [ ...and then get taken there or eaten up. ]

Uh, is it like that back in your world?

[properprincess]

Seances are fairly common in my world, yes, because people feel the need to communicate with the dead! I have't really had the chance to experience that myself, but I have read the testimonies of others who have had both positive and negative times when breaching the veil between worlds.

But I didn't know that there were things like that on your world as well. I saw a memory from Cilan about a Yamask, but we didn't speak about the others. Are there many ghost-like Pokémon on your world?

[gottacatch]

We know about three in my region, but there's a lot more. [ This might not be far from creepy subjects entirely, but Red can work with this one! ] They're linked together by evolution -- has Cilan ever told you about that?

[ He knows the idea people can get when they hear 'evolution'. ]

[properprincess]

I would love to meet any of them! I have yet to be so lucky.

[Please show her the ghost Pokemon! Well, any of them in general.]

No, he didn't tell me much about how things work on your world, Red-san. Of course, there wasn't much time during the contest, I'm afraid.
