yes it was absolutely my siren song tbh

[mutinyinpink]

Oh shit, that does sound great! Way better than just... [ A wave of her hand, despite how at ease she looks. ] Whatever.

i helped get the log together with dees

[fingersandteeth]

[He chuckles.] Much better than being crammed into a small space the entire multi-hour trip with nothing to do but sit.

oh nice!!!!

[mutinyinpink]

Yeah! Exactly that.

[ Not that she would know from experience or anything. Still, now it seems as if she's unsure what to say. The thought of an older Dirk is intimidating, the idea of talking about herself- even if it's possible that Dirk's told this man anything- is... icky. What now? ]

yes it was fun

[fingersandteeth]

[After a moment, he shakes out some mini-donuts into his own palm and says, conversationally,] Did you know that Meowths eventually learn how to make money? I mean literally make it. It comes out of the metallic thing on their forehead.

Re: yes it was fun

[mutinyinpink]

Seriously? And that's allowed?

[ She thinks for a moment before shaking her head dramatically. ]

The poor economy.

[ She does not actually understand the economy. ]

[fingersandteeth]

[He chuckles.] We're not entirely sure how it still functions, all things considered.

[mutinyinpink]

... Ideally, I would like to think that this is some sorta utopia type deal where money legit barely matters, so it doesn't matter that there are moneycats diminishing the value of a dollar probably literally everywhere and maybe there may be more bartering systems than anything? But like. Late stage capitalism has killed my weary soul, thoroughly.

[ LOOKS LOUDLY AT THE ROUTE OF THE APOCALYPSE ]

But hey! Its a nice thought. An' this place is still great regardless of the things that don't make sense. I haven't found much reason to be too suspicious- or at least nothin no one else has found, an' even then it's agreed to be weird but harmless. Which is really impressive because I am a pretty damn good sleuth! Nothin eludes me forever, not when I'm on it's tail.

[fingersandteeth]

I mean, in a lot of ways this world could be considered utopia. Universal health care for humans and pokemon, some kind of rent control that allows people to get small apartments on part-time wages, and even the local mobsters are much more about grand theft pokemon than murdering people.

[He smiles.]

Professional or amateur detective?

[mutinyinpink]

Oh man, I ain't the pro here- that's my girl Jane. She is, as one might say, the gutsiest of gumshoes, the smartest dame on the scene- and the one who actually knows how to detective.

I, however, am the best at finding things on the internet. I'm in an' out like a motherfuckin' thief, not a trace of what transpired... but I use my talents only for justice, naturally.

[ She's absolutely grinning as she talks, so it might be a bit hard to tell how serious she's being. Which is dead serious, but like, delivered by a New Yorker party girl type? (Not that she is.) Ehhhh. ]

[fingersandteeth]

[Steven grins.]

You should talk to Jules. He's a guy from my own world--though we never met before we got here--and he's a... computer specialist too.

[Third biggest botnet in the country at the time of his arrest.]

[mutinyinpink]

Hah! Maybe.

[ She'd like to say her accomplishments were great, and they genuinely were! But when her hacking and cybertheft was part of the Batterwitch's plans to begin with, it feels less... impressive. ]

I'm not too surprised at like, peeps from other worlds comin here with no relation? If anything all these people who are connected all showing up together just sounds crazy. Like, some kinda weird isekai narrative.

[fingersandteeth]

[Steven laughs at that.] My God, we might be, though. I could see very easily how this world might be a video game--our Pokemon already have levels.

[mutinyinpink]

[ looks at the echeladder- is. is that not normal? is her life just one video game after the next. oh no.

Not that she's going to show that concern so readily. ]

Exactly! I mean like, I'm not complaining? Especially 'cause it could be soooo much worse, but like. I know tropes when I see 'em.

[fingersandteeth]

The fact that this world has background music--

[Even before he'd been told that Pokemon was a game, he'd have believed it easily. Just because of the background music.]

[mutinyinpink]

I kinda tuned it out eventually to be honest? And like, it could totally be worse. There could also be clowns.

[ Looks at Gamzee Makara's honk-filled motifs. ]

[fingersandteeth]

I mean. There's Mr Mimes. I think they probably count.

[mutinyinpink]

... That sounds cursed. Let's not go that route.

[fingersandteeth]

Yeahhhh. Let's.

[Mr Mimes are unfortunately creepy.]
