[There's a lot of clunk sounds suddenly and a lot of angry muttering on the other end.]

THIS TASTES METALLIC AND GROSS AND NOT WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR. MAYBE MY TONGUE TURNED OFF? IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? HOW DO THESE BUTTONS WORK? WHAT IS THIS THING? WHERE IS MY CANE?

WHERE AM I? [That mumbling has turned more into yelling and it sounds like she isn't even aware that its recording.] THIS WORLD SMELLS LIKE NOTHING. A WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

[If you're in New Bark Town, you'll probably see a girl sitting on the ground with her Dratini. She's shaking her Gear like that will actually do something. Otherwise, she looks really upset right about now. She keeps patting the area around her whenever she tries to pet her Dratini. Honestly, she keeps missing that damn thing completely. How do function in real life?]

I think he probably would! Dave's nice.

He has a Deino, a Haxorus, Altaria - actually, I could spot you a Swablu sometime, too, that's the first form of Altaria - Garchomp, Dragonair, Salamence, and Charmander! [ ...He texted her a list of his entire roster, Aradia keeps tabs on this sort of thing! ]

Kanaya is actually a breeder! Out of all of us, me, Kanaya, Nepeta, Rose and Rose's human lusus are the only breeders.

[searsblindly]

Of course he is! He is the coolest of coolkids! It would be so uncool of him not too!

[Oh my god. All of these sounds so exciting.] I need all of these! Of course, my Dratini is the best though. But why would I deny myself an army of dragons? Do I even have to own any other kind of pokebeast?

I'm not surprised by Kanaya being one! It sounds like there's a severe lack of caring men though! I bet they're all trying to be cool and impressive by being a trainer.

[timelymaid]

Well, Dragon types are weak to...Ice and Dragon. So having types to cover those weaknesses might be useful, but otherwise, Dragons have a lot of resistances.

You know, I hadn't noticed that before? About none of the guys being breeders. I think there's a way to apply for a change, but I've never minded my position, so! I still get to challenge gyms if I want, and I can explore and stuff.

video

[searsblindly]

That's because there's nothing better than a dragon! [Because Terezi says so and she'll deny anything ever one upping her babies.]

They're probably trying to make all the females swoon with their good battling skills! All the flush crushes they can get. [Terezi cackles.] I think you're find as a Breeder! Don't worry your little morbid faerie rumpus!

[timelymaid]

[ Aradia's not going to argue the point, although she likes ghost and fossil types. ]

Well, John and Karkat at least probably aren't doing that!

video

[searsblindly]

Why do you say that? Not that I wouldn't be surprised about Karkat!

video

[timelymaid]

I doubt Rose or Vanitas would approve! They're both doing the human dating thing.

video

[searsblindly]

Karkat is human dating?

video

[timelymaid]

Yes! He's been here for...well, a pretty long time, though.

video

[searsblindly]

With who?

video

[timelymaid]

Vanitas! He's from a different world than any of us, so you wouldn't know him just yet.

video

[searsblindly]

I have a lot of catching up to do in this place! Challenge accepted I guess.

video

[timelymaid]

I'll answer any questions you have, but...yes, pretty much! I'm still catching up.

video

[searsblindly]

Ugh! Why can't anything ever be done in a linear fashion! It's like our lives are doomed to never just going in a straight line.

video

[timelymaid]

Well, we weren't even born in a linear fashion if you think about it. But...I'm sort of used to it! I've never been able to do anything linearly. Being a time player sort of, you know, negates that option.

video

[searsblindly]

Even my powers kept in a linear sense! At least I didn't make it difficult for myself like everyone else did when contacting the humans! It was funny for me though.

video

[timelymaid]

Watching everyone else troll themselves by being non-linear, you mean?

[ YEAH. The time player on the troll side thought that entire mess was complete nonsense and said so, although she also...didn't get that involved, being a robot and dead. ]

video

[searsblindly]

I think Karkat was the funnest considering he got so angry the entire time! It was pretty amusing!

[Mostly because she could tease them about it.]

video

[timelymaid]

Well that's what he got for starting at the very end! I could have told him that would go poorly.

[ Because time player.

...Actually she did log her disapproval of the plan to start with, but yeah. ]

video

[searsblindly]

Everyone could have told him, and he wouldn't have listened! Are we even surprised about this?

[The right answer is no. No one is surprised.]

video

[timelymaid]

I think most of us did, but he didn't. And I'm not surprised, no! But I'm amused, for sure.

video

[searsblindly]

He'll eventually learn. [They can hope.]

video

[timelymaid]

Will he? [ Teasing, mostly. But... ] I think Karkat isn't so bad as he is, though.

video

[searsblindly]

I just like picking on him, Aradia.

video

[timelymaid]

You're probably the best at it! You are a master in the art of picking on Karkat.
