105. FOURTH WALL POST [Action for Saffron City, anywhere in Saffron City! Video's okay too]

<sub>[You know what?]

[Heather's not even sure why she TRIES anymore.]





[So done. So done.]</sub>


Here we go again.


... Yes, Cooj, I still love you.

Just not right now.

[Frodo gives the pokemon an uneasy look, then tries to take a more stern tone with Heather]

I do hope you have mastery over her! Neither you nor I will be very happy if she decides to try a taste of hobbit.

[foolishwren]

... Yeah, uh...

<sub>[Heather didn't entiiirely think this through, because there is indeed a somewhat predatory gleam in Cleo's eye.]

[Without further ado, she holds the ball up again and quickly withdraws the oversized cat. The last thing she needs is to have to pull a hobbit out of an uncooperative Pokemon's mouth.]</sub>

... Better safe than sorry.

[iorhael]

[Frodo can't help but find himself relieved when the Pokemon goes back; she looked as if she were considering what a hobbit must taste like]

You do certainly keep rather odd company.

[foolishwren]

Hheh, well... that's kinda the way of things around here, I guess...

No weapons allowed, but you get complimentary animals to sic on people if they bother you.

_{[... Well the idea is to sic them on the wildlife if IT bothers you, but ehhhh SAME THING RIGHT.]}

[iorhael]

I would hope that you wouldn't often find a need for a weapon around here!

[and that has gotten her a Look]

That is hardly an improvement! And what if the animal itself would very much prefer comfort and sleep to fighting?

[foolishwren]

_{[Her grin falters a little at the Look, but ... yeah. Now that she thinks of it... it sounds AWFUL to anyone who hasn't already been here awhile.]}

Well, there's some people who don't care. Me, I've got a bunch who don't like fighting, so ... yeah. I never make 'em do it.

The only ones of mine who ever fight kinda... like it?

Like, it's like a sport to them.

[iorhael]

Good! They are lucky to have found such a kind master in you.

I suppose each to whatever tastes they may like, but fighting as a sport?

[that may have sounded like pure Hobbiton coming out of him. Almost in the same tone that most hobbits would refer to adventure; something better left not heard of or said too much about!]

[foolishwren]

_{[Sh shrugs expressively.]}

I know, I know, it sounds awful! But try stoppin' them.

It's basically a national pastime here and everybody's into it... the people and the animals.

... It probably helps that they're practically indestructible. Not like... invulnerable or anything, but some of the stuff I've seen 'em walk away from...

[iorhael]

[Frodo visibly winces at the idea. A hobbit stepping between those creatures]

I suppose you're right. One would find themselves more likely trampled.

[well....as long as the animals actually like it, but still. Big Folk]

I shall never understand you Big Folk.

[foolishwren]

Heh, well, I can't really fault you for that.

We're pretty weird.
