"Well I mean they ARE pretty awesome lookin'! I even got one that blows itself up and doesn't die! Kinda like you actually."

Tina releases his head and hops down to the ground stumbling on her landing and straightening up with a pokeball in hand.

"Get out here Miguel!" And from her pokeball and rather large voltorb lands with a thud looking around before letting his eyes settle on Krieg and lunging for him thinking it was time to fight. Snugglebites thankfully anticipated this and picks him up holding him overhead while he spins helplessly.

"Heh heh heh, he's a frisky one." She snickered wickedly.

[fuelthefire]

"MnahahahAHAHAH! You DO have a Spark Ball!"

Krieg isn't even the tiniest bit bothered that the Voltorb was about to lunge at him. That's exactly the behavior he expects from those round assholes, thanks to a long and mutually beneficial association with his own Spark Ball.

Slag Stack is a little more concerned than its trainer, and oozes forward through and around his legs until its whole, enormous sludge body is totally in front of Krieg, creating a stinky barrier between its trainer and the aggressive Voltorb and the small maniacal girl.

"What else you got?" Krieg reaches down to pet Slag Stack, now that it's in front of him, which soothes the purple creature somewhat. It belches out a quiet cry of "Muuuuuk!", pleased as always with the affection, but keeps its droopy eyes fixed squarely on Miguel. Just try something, buddy.

[bittybunkermaster]

"OHHH! Hell yeah! Miguel was my first boi! and he's such a round boi isn't he?"

Miguel gives up his useless spinning and sends a blast of electricity through Tina making her squeal at first in pain but then laughter.

"BWHAHAHA! Tickles! Stop it you jerk I'm tryin' to be badass!!!"

She fell to her rump dropping Miguel who rolled into Slagstack with a splat!

"And of course you already met Mushy Snugglebites~ We've also got THESE GUYS!"

Reaching into her bag she produced a third and forth pokeball, the first popping open to reveal a shockingly well groomed and clean looking Growlith and a Fletchling who immediately lit on Tina's head which...to be fair her hair often resembled a birds nest made out of a psycho's mask.

"This is Enrique the second, and THE FIREHAWK! " With the second name she screeched it like a inside joke for just her and the Vault Hunter.

a million apologies for falling down so hard on this ;w;

[fuelthefire]

Slag Stack has a teammate who's an Electrode, but other than the fact that the two share a trainer, they don't really spend much time together. So when Miguel rolls into him with a SPLAT, he is entirely nonplussed. What...what does he do with this? Besides push it away again, which he does with a wet-sounding SCHLORP!

Apparently that's the noise a Voltorb makes when it's separated from a Muk.

Krieg doesn't really pay much attention to this, because his eye is on Tina, and on all the good good monsters Tina is showing him. He's seen Growlithes before - Bert has one that has long since evolved into a giant fluff beast, but he's never seen the small orange-headed bird.

Or, at least, if he has seen one, he hasn't paid attention.

Until now.

"FIREHAWK BEST HAWK!"

That tiny little birb looks nothing like a hawk, but that doesn't deter Krieg. With a name like that, it's bound to be a badass. And he says as much. "I bet it grows into a BADASS!"

No worries. Slowly but surely we will get her in this game.

[bittybunkermaster]

"Hell yeah it will! Especially with me as it's coach, mentor, Mama and Bunker Master baybee!" Tina declared hauling herself off the ground while Firehawk sneezed sending out a burst of ember towards Krieg. Tina barely batted an eyelash since she'd seen this Vault Hunter in particular light himself on fire more then once and be fine.

Mushy Snugglebites was busy rolling Miguel away from Slag Stack apologizing profusely while Miguel tried to make some rude faces to antagonize the blobby pokemon. Meanwhile Enrique sniffed the air, looked dismayed and moved towards the entrance of the alleyway.

"But Vault Hunter fo real? Fo realz. #Realtalk? It has been so...so long since I blew something up. These guys do they best but it's NOTHING. Nothing like a good Torgue weapon or some missiles! Where's the Earth Shattering Kaboom man!?"

<3

[fuelthefire]

Krieg doesn't bat an eye at the little sneezed embers, either. His days of self-immolating at will seem to be over, but that doesn't mean he's developed anything like respect or fear for fire. A tiny baby pokemon sneeze isn't even anything to acknowledge, honestly.

Slag Stack ignores Miguel in favor of responding to M. Snugglebites - clearly of the two she is the one worth speaking with. It really is no problem, please don't worry about it, he knows so many Voltorbs and also way too many Electrodes and they're all just Like That...

Krieg listens solemnly to Tina's complaint, and is quiet for a few moments after she finishes.

Processing...

Processing...

....Ding!

"Mnng. If you wanna build one I can help you get the stuff."

Krieg no.

Krieg yes.

Re: <3

[bittybunkermaster]

"YES! Yes yes yes! That's what I'm talkin' bout! See? This is why we LOVE Vault Hunters!"

She wrapped her arms around Krieg to give him a proper strangling hug before dropping back to the ground and making a list on her pokegear.

"It might be harder for you to do since we don't have the same tech back home but you're like the third smartest vault hunter I know so you'll figure it out!"

The list consisted of a lot of household chemicals, things that could be used for cleaning most of the time or in the wrong hands a jury rigged explosive. She's also listed soda and minty candy and crackling candy rocks as bonus items for extra points.

"I'll even let you pick what we get to blow up!"

[fuelthefire]

She'll even let him pick???

Boy oh boy Handsome Jack sure is in for a nasty surprise soon 8)

"You're the best, Short Stuff!" He sidles over so he can peer over her shoulder at the list as it is formed. He makes note of the snacks section in particular, and pipes up with a suggestion.

"Don't forget popcorn! After it explodes I wanna watch it burn!"
