[death_calling]

[While she'd normally avoid angry network posts, it's the comment about a sentient teacup that gets her attention.]

You're talking about Sinistea, right? The ghosts that hang around the teashops?

[She looks down at a notebook which happens to be next to her before speaking up again.]

I don't know if this trick will work, but you can try putting additives into her food, such as honey, citrus, or berries. Worst case scenario, you can find someone who's willing to give up a little of their life force.

[Is she volunteering for the latter? Quite possibly...]

[ripetuto]

[Okay, bribery makes sense and he should have tried that first but:]

Life force?

[death_calling]

I'm guessing it would be something akin to the soul. Alas, the Pokedex entry is not very clear on what a life force is.

[She sighs at the absurdity of it all. Science can only hold so much water here before weird and unexplained phenomenons take precedence.]

I'd be willing to offer up myself as a test subject, should you need someone to test this theory.

[ripetuto]

You want to let some stranger see if his sentient teacup needs life force by using your life force?

[Who just offers themself up like that?]

[death_calling]

Yes. The study may help your Pokemon in the long run. It would also allow us to learn about the nature of Sinistea and ghost Pokemon.

[Weird, death-obsessed ladies, that's who.]

This is completely your choice, of course.

[ripetuto]

[What the absolute fuck.]

Why?

[Just. Why are you offering this to a stranger? He's not even a friendly one!]

[death_calling]

[Cue the most straightforward, stoic expression she can convey on the network.]

Someone must try to understand the scary and unwanted types. Dark. Poison. Ghost. That's the role I aim to fill in this place.

[Mean? No, she's seen worse elsewhere. At least he's being direct and honest, two appreciated traits.]

You also got on the network and asked for help regarding your companion. It would be unethical for someone to ignore that request.

[ripetuto]

[Okay, he can appreciate that. Still weird as fuck, but he has honestly worked with weirder.]

Let me try bribery first. I don't want to kill anybody with a teacup, even if it is haunted.

[death_calling]

I understand. Would you be so kind to let me know your findings later on?

[And a pause, because she's slightly worried her questions are becoming intrusive.]

I'm hoping to befriend a Sinistea in the future, so any tips you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

[ripetuto]

[Eh why not.]

Sure. I can tell you right now that mine, at least, is really proud of the stamp on her teacup.

[death_calling]

Interesting. Perhaps each Sinistea has a different-colored or shaped stamp? This is worth investigating when I'm at the teashop next time.

[It's pleasantly nice meeting someone who's willing to chat with her normally.]

I should apologize, as I've been rather rude this entire time by not introducing myself. I'm Olivia. It's a pleasure to meet you, sir.

[ripetuto]

[It's a weird conversation but...not as weird as "hey would vegetarians and vegans taste better because they don't eat meat?"]

Abbacchio. [...eh.] Likewise, signora.
