[video] in before eeveelution jokes
[It's late. Or too damn early. Somewhere in that ambiguous area, like 3:00 in the morning, just fine for certain parts of the alien population and a god-awful time for the rest. But here Kid is, addressing the network from the confines of a room in the island-side village.
One can just make out a few figures (Maka Albarn and Rin Okumura) behind him, sound asleep in their bed.]
I have a very important announcement to make, one that simply cannot wait until morning!
[The grim reaper, looking more lively than he has since... well, since the bubble cracked, stoops out of sight of the SFC, and reappears with an Umbreon in his arms. Beaming with the pride perhaps only a father might have for their child, he declares:]
This is Pip, and he's become even more beautiful than ever!
[It is indeed Pip, recently evolved, and he is still fat. He is also a she, but Kid never investigated that closely. Promptly forgetting about the SFC in his eagerness, Kid retreats with Pip in his arms to bend over Maka.]
Maka, Maka! Wake up! I don't want you to miss this!

NOM NOM DELICIOUS CR
[He pauses but a moment to think of how it might logically be spelled. Alas, seven letters, not eight. Well, perhaps there's such a thing as too much perfection.]
We were out for a stroll tonight, when he changed all at once. Are you an acquaintance of Bianca's?
[Because everyone who knows Pokemon that well must be.]
a million edits later...
[Prepare to have a text book definition rattled off rather rapidly.]
A Dark-type evolution of an Eevee, gained at night time and only by trainers who had a very strong, friendly connection with them. It can also be obtained via a Moon Shard. It's abilities include a poisonous sweat it can release when agitated, and their golden bands glow allowing them to use Flash. They are fond of forests and enjoy looking at the moon.
[This is has been your Guide to the World of Pokemon with your host,
BulbepediaNatural Harmonia Gropius.Facts rattled off, N pauses to stare for another moment, making a face. Kid just said "he", but...]
... also I believe that Umbreon is female. You should consider yourself lucky - female Eevee are rare.
[Oh there was another question in there somewhere, wasn't there?]
Bianca and I are... acquaintances.
[Suddenly all the awkward.]
no subject
But this has only served to make him keenly aware of how little he knew about his beautiful little companion.]
I wasn't aware. Rare, you say?
[Hmm. Fond of forests and the sight of the moon. Kid files all that away, because if that's true, he'll have to make certain that Pip's walks include trips topside-- that is, if the bubble is ever indeed fully repaired.
OH NO SOMEONE LISTENED TO A WHOLE SPEECH ABOUT POKEMON AND TOOK IT TOTALLY SERIOUSLY RUN WHILE YOU CAN]You're highly knowledgeable on the subject. Have you thought about partnering up with Bianca and writing this down somewhere?
no subject
[Now he's gotten numbers in to his explanation. We're all doomed.]
Writing it down... ? There wasn't really a need to. Pokedex readers and encyclopedias held all the information any would-be trainer or Pokemon enthusiast would ever need.
[It doesn't occur to him that it would be for the sake of people in Vatheon, who aren't actually trainers. Or natives to their world.]
no subject
[Try to restrain your outrage, Kid.] That's dreadful, that figure should be something more elegant, like eight!
[As for trainers...]
Those number few in Vatheon, I believe. In fact, the only actual trainers I've met would be Bianca and... you, right?
no subject
... but the numbers don't work out to eight. The equation would be off, and therefore incorrect if the ratio was eight to one. Aren't all numbers elegant? To single out one as more elegant than the others is a pointless exercise.
[N pls]
I know of two others - one I spoke to but I never learned his name, and a young one by the name of Wally who recently arrived.
no subject
[Twitch.]
How can you fail to see how eight stands above all the rest? Among all others, it's only eight that appears perfectly symmetrical, whether bisected vertically or horizontally! The only other figure capable of such flawless beauty is zero, and that's not even a number!!
[HUFF. HUFF.]
no subject
How can you dismissed the rest of the world's numbers based on symmetry?! The laws of mathematics don't simply bend to your will because you do or don't find them aesthetically pleasing! Zero is as much of a number as one, two, three... any rational and irrational number regardless of it's value or it's symmetrical aesthetic is considered a real number!
no subject
[Gosh, these nerds. Seriously.]
I'm not dismissing the value of other numbers at all, eight is simply better! This is plain to see!
no subject
In algebra and above it is considered a real number, regardless of what it's "value" denotes. It still has a place on the remedial number line, showing the break between whole numbers and integers, therefore it is incorrect to consider it "not real". And if you're speaking on symmetrical value, zero written in it's numerical form can also be split vertically and horizontally.
You're welcome to think what you want about the aesthetic value of how something is generally written, but to call it "better" undermines the importance of all numbers in mathematical equations. In equations all numbers are of equal importance due to their workings within the whole to formulate an answer.
1/2
That sounds heavenl--NO DON'T DISTRACT HIM, YOU SLANDERER OF EIGHT.]
2/2
no subject
You're mistaken - I would never speak ill of any number. It's simply not within my nature.
[Do you two even realize how ridiculous you sound right now?]
no subject
This is exactly why.]
There is nothing calming about the number seven, it's lopsided, it looks like someone with a grotesquely broken spine!
And what about the number four?! It's like something out of a nightmare when you've eaten too late at night!
Just thinking about the way five looks is making me feel sick..!
no subject
Perhaps you should look less at what the numbers themselves appear as, and look more at their function. If you spend so much time staring at the outside you never understand what's beneath the surface. Your equations are all basic, there's no substance.
As some one who has formed a connection with such a magnificent creature, a connection that has gone so far as to cause a natural evolution, I would hope you wouldn't be so shallow.
Hijacking...!
Um ,N, do you remember when you said you wanted to make friends...?
I don't think this is the way to go?
o/
... he started it.
[N.
No.]
no subject
Yes but you don't have to agree with him! If there's something you don't like then you can say something like you can agree to disagree with Kid.
Because you don't want to hurt his feelings!
no subject
...It's a lesson both of the boys could stand to learn, actually.]
no subject
... am I supposed to take his feelings in to account?
no subject
Yes, you are suppose to and that's how you make friends! It means that you're not hurting them!
no subject
I suppose I could have conducted myself better in this conversation. Perhaps we could start over.
And discuss numbers another time.
no subject
Why does he feel bad at all?
BIANCA HELP THE NUMBER OF THINGS HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HAS INCREASED D: ]
... I guess I don't want to hurt anyone...
no subject
Mhmm, that's right so um...maybe we can agree to disagree for now? At least until we can find someway to discuss another time?
N, maybe you can apologize?
no subject
Help, the moments Kid misses having Soul Perception has increased again. D:]
