[Well, Yuuko isn't a Nurse Joy, but that doesn't mean she can't be concerned when she sees someone lying on the ground after apparently being beaten up by their own Pokemon.]

Oh my goodness! Are you okay? [She quickly runs towards him so she can help him up, followed by her Seel, who's a bit slower than her but is still trying to follow as best she can.]
spacebaloney: ([12])

[personal profile] spacebaloney 2018-06-21 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Does okay mean still breathing? Because if so, sure, Lance is okay. A dumbass, still, but okay. Kaltenecker Jr. is still nuzzling him but then turns her attention onto the Seel, moving to give it a little nudge in the butt so it can get closer fast.]

Yeah, I'm good.

[But once he looks up towards the voice, his demeanor changes from an injured man to a lovesick puppy who grabs a hold of the nice lady's hand between his as he bats his eyelashes.]

Is this Heaven? Because you're my guardian angel.

[Lance, this is a married woman with three whole kids. Simmer the hell down.]
icecastlemadonna: (Milord)

[personal profile] icecastlemadonna 2018-06-22 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh boy. You're already setting yourself up for disappointment, Lance. But she figures a dumbass teenager will be a bit easier to deal with than the three precocious little weasels that are her daughters.]

Well, no, you're still in Johto, from the looks of it. I take it you just got here as well? It can take some time for your Pokemon to get used to you.

[She turns to Kaltenecker and gives the Miltank her best "mom is disappointed in you" look.] You should be a bit more careful with your Trainer, okay?
spacebaloney: ([14])

[personal profile] spacebaloney 2018-06-22 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
[His life is full of disappointments. They just turn into fuel to act out more. It's how Lance gets through the day.]

Yes, but I'm glad to be here so I could meet you, Miss...?

[Lance still hasn't let go of Yuuko's hand, still gripping it as he sits up. He looks a right mess, hair all mussed, his clothes all dirty, but when has he ever let a small thing like that stop him?

Kaltenecker gives a sound of protest that suspiciously sounds like "He deserved it!" but who really knows? That Mom Look has her reigning her in bad behavior. For now. Once Yuuko's back is turned, all bets are off. It seems this Miltank is a tsundere.]
icecastlemadonna: (La bohème)

[personal profile] icecastlemadonna 2018-06-22 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yuuko Nishigori. Nice to meet you.

[And he sure does still have a grip on her hand. Since she just met him, she's a little too polite to ask him to let go, though her Seel has no qualms about popping up between the two of them with an excited bark. Is she intentionally trying to get Lance to let go or does she just want to say hi? Who can tell. Either way, Yuuko just laughs.]

Oh, and this is Flip. She's happy to meet you too.
spacebaloney: ([15])

[personal profile] spacebaloney 2018-06-22 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
I'm Lance.

[There might be a last name there, but it doesn't get a chance to be spoken out loud because Lance is startled by the sudden bark and drops Yuuko's hand. Good girl, Flip. You deserve a treat.]

Yikes! Warn a guy before you do that. [His shock disappears quickly and he's looking at the Seel in her face, trying to figure out this creature.] Is she a narwhal? Shouldn't she be in the sea?
icecastlemadonna: (Mambo N°8)

[personal profile] icecastlemadonna 2018-06-22 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure she's supposed to be a seal, since...well, the kind of Pokemon she is is a Seel. With two Es, apparently. [Yuuko's fluent enough in English to be able to figure out that name, at least. Gotta love Gen 1.] I've been carrying her in her Pokeball for the most part, though if I find a body of water I'll let her swim in it.

And I see you've got a cow! She's pretty cute. [If not a bit of a tsundere.]

spacebaloney: ([05])

[personal profile] spacebaloney 2018-06-22 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Seel. Two Es. Got it.

[Lance marks that to memory because the last time he got a Pokemon's name wrong... well, that's why he's still sitting on the ground. That said, it keeps him low enough that he can easily reach out and give Flip a pet.]

Ah, yeah, that's Kaltenecker Jr.

[At the mention of her self-approved name, the Miltank waddles over and rubs her cold wet nose against Yuuko's cheek. Hello, Human. Yes, I am cute. Thanks for noticing!]

I'm not sure where they think I could keep a cow. I don't even have a place to keep myself.
icecastlemadonna: (Gwendoline)

[personal profile] icecastlemadonna 2018-06-22 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Kaltenecker...? That's an interesting name. [Though Yuuko's not one to talk, considering how she named her kids and her starter Pokemon after figure skating jumps.]

Well, at least she's smaller than a regular cow...though as for places to stay, Pokemon centers let you stay overnight for free. From what I've heard, there are also hotels and houses you can stay at.

Though until we get to the next town, the only option is the sleeping bag we were given, I guess... [She can't help but sigh a little at that. She's not really used to camping outdoors.]
spacebaloney: ([06])

[personal profile] spacebaloney 2018-06-22 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
I had a cow at home named Kaltenecker. That's why she's Kaltenecker Jr.

[Don't fault Lance for the orignal cow's name. It came with it and he wasn't going to argue over a free with purchase cow's name.

Lance squints his beady little eyes and turns to glance up the road that seems so much longer than it did before.]


How far are we from the next town?
icecastlemadonna: (Sous le ciel de Paris)

[personal profile] icecastlemadonna 2018-06-22 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, really? Did you live on a farm? [Because naturally, cows make her think of all those dairy farms up in Hokkaido.]

Well, it's supposed to take three days to get to the next town if you're traveling by foot, and I started out not too long ago...there's quite a bit of journeying to be done in this place.
spacebaloney: ([07])

[personal profile] spacebaloney 2018-06-22 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
No, in a castle spaceship.

[A pause because that totally makes sense to a complete stranger who's probably never even thought of space travel. Let him back it up a little.]

I mean, yes, a spaceship shaped like a castle, but the cow I got when my friend bought a video game system and the shopkeeper threw in Kaltenecker in for free.

[And that makes so much more sense, doesn't it? (It's okay if it doesn't, Yuuko. Sometimes space life doesn't make sense to him either.)]
icecastlemadonna: (Wild Horses)

[personal profile] icecastlemadonna 2018-06-22 10:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay, she does need a bit of time to process all of this.]

...you managed to get a cow...out in space? [She has a lot of questions, but that's probably the best one she can start with.]
spacebaloney: (Default)

[personal profile] spacebaloney 2018-06-24 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Take all the time you need, lady. It's a doozy.]

I know, surprised me too. But she comes in handy for milk and I really missed food I could actually recognize, so I'm not complaining about having to care for her.

[Cleaning up after a cow is worse than cleaning up after a dog, FYI.]

Luckily, we have enough space in the castle for her.
icecastlemadonna: (Gwendoline)

[personal profile] icecastlemadonna 2018-06-24 09:21 am (UTC)(link)
In a castle that's also a spaceship. [She was already told that people from different worlds are brought here, but it's still a bit weird to think about.]

Well, I guess it is lucky that you managed to get a source for milk...but how did you get out in space to begin with? [At the very least, she does know that space exploration is a lengthy process.]
spacebaloney: ([14])

[personal profile] spacebaloney 2018-06-24 10:09 am (UTC)(link)
Space travel is a thing where I'm from. I was in training to be a fighter pilot when I got tied up in rescuing a friend. Next thing I know, I'm being accepted by a giant robot lion that makes up part of a bigger robot named Voltron. From there we--my friends and I--got together and decided we would defend the universe from evil. We're doing a great job, by the way. The planets love us.

[Did he just pop his collar and wink at her while telling that story? Yes, he did. Expect nothing less from Lance.]
icecastlemadonna: (La bohème)

[personal profile] icecastlemadonna 2018-06-24 10:21 am (UTC)(link)
A giant robot, huh? You're really defending the whole universe that way? [She's pretty sure she's heard of combining mecha anime, but she didn't think she'd ever meet someone from a place where something like that was possible.]

But wow, that's...certainly something, to be able to do all that out in space. [Kind of mindblowing, honestly.] It kind of makes my life back home pretty boring in comparison. I just run a skating rink with my husband.

[Aaand there's the bomb dropped, since the winking and collar-popping doesn't fly past her...though she does genuinely mean the compliment, Lance.]
spacebaloney: ([15])

[personal profile] spacebaloney 2018-06-24 10:47 am (UTC)(link)
H-husband?

[Forget about all that complimenting. Yuuko just broke his little teenaged heart. She's married! And here he thought he had a chance to bag himself a cougar!]

You have a husband?
icecastlemadonna: (La Vie en rose)

[personal profile] icecastlemadonna 2018-06-24 10:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yep! We have three girls, too. They're triplets. [Sorry, Lance. She doesn't like to break hearts, but it had to be done. Though considering how she married and had her kids at a fairly young age, she's not too surprised that he made assumptions.]
spacebaloney: ([09])

[personal profile] spacebaloney 2018-06-24 11:01 am (UTC)(link)
Triplets?

[Wow, Yuuko. Just go on and rub salt into the wounds, why dontcha? However will Lance recover from this? Probably hide in his sleeping bag until he finds a proper room to drown his sorrows in ice cream and face masks and crappy action flicks.]

Ah. Ah ha ha. [Dude knew he had like zero chance like with any of the girls he's hit on, but this is really the first time he's been shut down by lifetime vows.] He's not here, is he?

[Translation: is he here to kick Lance's skinny ass from Cherrygrove to the Safari Zone and back again for hitting on his wife?]
icecastlemadonna: (Sous le ciel de Paris)

[personal profile] icecastlemadonna 2018-06-24 11:18 am (UTC)(link)
No, he isn't, as far as I know. [It would be nice if he were here, though. She still doesn't know anyone here too well yet.]

...I'm sorry I had to drop that on you. Really. [Really, she is. After all, aside from the cheesy pickup lines Lance doesn't seem like a bad person. Flip the Seel seems to be sorry on behalf of her human as well, since she places one of her large flippers on his shoulder as a way of offering condolences.]
spacebaloney: ([08])

[personal profile] spacebaloney 2018-06-24 11:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Lance breathes a sigh of relief. He enjoys living in one piece. Bad enough his own Pokemon tried to take a bite out of him; he doesn't need an angry husband going for him too.]

Yeah, I'm sorry too.

[Not so much for hitting on her because that's his whole schtick to see how far it takes him, but for actually getting rejected with that magnitude of bad news.

The flipper pat helps a little, though. At least someone cares. Can't say the same for Kaltenecker who's moved off to the side to nibble on some grass. Lance gives Flip a gentle scritch to her horn.]


Thanks, bud. You're really cool.
icecastlemadonna: (Lovefool)

[personal profile] icecastlemadonna 2018-06-24 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure she appreciates that. [Well, at least they've managed to get that awkward detail out of the way.]

You know...apparently I'm supposed to be a Pokemon Breeder while I'm in this place. I'm still studying the handbook right now so I can learn how it all works, so if you ever want me to breed a certain kind of Pokemon for you, you can always ask me. [Being the kind of person she is, she feels like she should at least offer to help him out while they're both stuck in this place. The idea of breeding weird animals seemed kind of offputting at first, but she feels like she can handle it...though she still doesn't get how nobody's ever actually seen Pokemon lay eggs. Pokemon are weird.]
spacebaloney: ([04])

[personal profile] spacebaloney 2018-06-24 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
You can breed Pokemon? Like how people breed dogs?

[All Lance was told was that he was expected to be a trainer and a friend to his Pokemon. He figured Pokemon just reproduced like any other creature does.]
icecastlemadonna: (Mambo N°8)

[personal profile] icecastlemadonna 2018-06-24 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
It looks that way. Apparently all Pokemon can lay eggs...even ones that don't look like they can. [She really can't imagine her Seel laying an egg. How do Pokemon even work?] Two Pokemon don't even have to be the same species to produce an egg, they just have to be a similar type.

Anyway, I guess a Breeder's job is to breed the best Pokemon they can, and they can even breed Pokemon for Trainers if they want.
