fourth pokéball ☯ action

[achromous]

A; Mitchell Road

[[Hilda is walking down the road with her Pokemon. This is normal enough for her, except for a couple of things:

One, she, Samurott, and Cinccino and carrying bags from the grocery and hardware store.

Two, Samurott had a refrigerator strapped to his back.]

B; 1447 Mitchell Road, basement

[Hilda has left the basement door open, which may be the first sign she is down there. Of course, come a bit closer and it's obvious something is going on down there, with all the noise. Head downstairs, and Hilda and her Pokemon are hard at work.

The refrigerator is set up in a corner of the basement, and Samurott and Cinccino are both putting the food away. Hilda herself has acquired tools from the garage and is doing her best to cut some planks of wood down. She's working from a book, but who knows how she got it (hint: Samurott acquired it from a drone man leaving the library).]

This would be easier if Liepard were here... Samurott, don't eat that, you'll spoil your dinner.

[Luckily, this is totally normal to the man riding a giant red alligator down the street reading a newspaper.]

Ah, Hilda. Out shopping, I see.

[Basically the Pokemon world is the best world.]

Hi! Yeah, I decided if I was going to keep getting Pokemon back I shouldn't take over the fridge already in the kitchen.

[tenebrousking.livejournal.com]

How thoughtful of you. It's a disgrace; they really ought to at least supply a lifetime's worth of Pokemon food if we're to be stranded here. I'll need to start feeding Krookodile drone children soon.

[The Pokemon snaps its jaws in agreement.]

[achromous]

[Hilda assumes he's joking.] I've been letting Samurott hunt in the lake, but I don't know how healthy that is, so at least if I buy fish I'll know what he's eating...

Sorry for late! I was on a plane heading home. Feel free to ignore.

[tenebrousking.livejournal.com]

((Also how the heck did I C/P that by accident... Sorry.))

I'd offer to help you with your purchases, but I'm afraid I'm low on funds myself. We're making do with pigeons for now.

it's fine, I tag late sometimes too

[achromous]

I guess it's easier for me since I don't have to spend my money on food for the house or anything. If I regain any Pokemon food, I'll share.

[tenebrousking.livejournal.com]

And the same for you. As it is, I'll need to think of finding a job soon...

[achromous]

They didn't give you one?

[tenebrousking.livejournal.com]

Not yet, I'm afraid. Or perhaps I ought to be thankful? There aren't any openings for sitting around on a platform all day, after all.

[Not!mom is curious, of course, so down she comes with her polar bear in tow because their house is a petting zoo. Clearly her throat politely, Canada stands at the foot of the stairs, looking a little bit confused.]

Do you need help with anything, dear?

[achromous]

...Do you know anything about building shelves?

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

I know plenty about building shelves. Is that what you're trying to do?

[achromous]

Yeah! I found this book, but I've never done anything like this before.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

Shelves are easy, don't worry. [She's built houses with minimal output from other sources. In the 1800s. Not to worry, Hilda, you will have all the help you want. Possibly more.

Canada comes over to eye her book.]

What sort of shelf are you trying for?

[achromous]

I was thinking about some I could hook to the wall, and some that are like cabinets.

When I have all my Pokemon, I'll need a lot of supplies for them, so I thought I should make a space for them--Samurott!

[Samurott freezes, having attempted to eat the fish he was supposed to be putting away, looking more like a child caught digging through the cookie jar than an animal that could easily crush Hilda with hardly a twitch.]

It goes in the freezer, not in your mouth.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

[She can't quite help a little laugh at Samurott's reaction to getting caught, a hand coming up to cover her mouth briefly.]

Show me where you want to put them and we'll get started.

[achromous]

[Samurott returns to putting the fish away, a bit sulkily.]

Next to the refrigerator, along the wall.

[ She sees the fridged out Samurott and runs up to it, screaming like a banshee ]

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!! How does he do that?!

[achromous]

[Hilda doesn't realize she's doing anything weird, so she just looks a bit confused.]

Do what?

[Samurott stops to look at the screaming girl.]

[partytoastess.livejournal.com]

[ She points to the Samurott ]

That thing he's lifting looks sooooo heavy!! [ POINTS TO FRIDGE ] Yet he's so tiny!! He's like Nena's height. [ SEVERE INTEREST TAKEN. She points to it before walking close to it and observing the height difference. ]

What is it!?

[achromous]

[Samurott is watching her, but he's well-trained so he doesn't react otherwise.]

This is Samurott, he's one of my Pokemon. He's a lot stronger than a person, so it makes it really easy to move stuff like that around.

[partytoastess.livejournal.com]

Ooh!? Pokemon!? My old sister was a trainer!! I don't think I've ever heard of Samurott though...

[ She'll run up to it and just pat it on the head! Clearly this is the best course of action! ]

[achromous]

[Luckily, Samurott really is well-trained. He puts up with this.]

Maybe she wasn't from the same region as me. There are different Pokemon in each one.

[partytoastess.livejournal.com]

[ She nods ]

Dawn was from the Sinnoh region so I don't think Samurott's exist...

[achromous]

Oh, that's pretty far away. You can only find Samurott in Unova, where I'm from. I'd need to take a plane to get to Sinnoh.
