Hey, um, you pokemon people?

How do you take care of them? Do I need a pokeball or something? Is there some kind of grooming involved?

[Jessica lifts a very enthusiastic bulbasaur into view]

Because this one's kind of decided to camp out in the fortress and keeps following me around.

Saur!

...yeah.

Well, there's always Stockholm Syndrome...

Yeah... [She hugs the bulbasaur.]

[She doesn't take up the subject of the psychological effects that this place might have. It's not really the time. Jessica looks upset.]

I can be there very soon, if you don't mind me coming now.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Huh? O- okay. Yeah, may as well, right?

[She smiles again.] All right. You'll see me in a few minutes, Jessica.

[She doesn't fly a great deal in the Gardens, as there's little need to do so, but there's no reason not to fly if she has somewhere in particular to be. It takes her almost no time to reach the fortress. She alights outside, near one of the doors, then travels the very short rest of the way on foot.]

[The door opens fairly quickly] That was so cool.

I guess you don't have any, uh, stuff to bring. (Of course not, nobody really does here.)

Thank you. Some of the more advanced robots are capable of flight.

I'm rather self-contained. I do need maintenance every now and then, but I'm guessing that the magic will take care of that here.

I haven't been inside your fortress before. You clearly put a great deal of thought into it.

I'd offer, but I'd probably break something.

I kind of do that with everything, I guess. Detail-oriented, that sort of thing. I pretend like it makes up for my lack of imagination.

[The bulbasaur toddles up and inspects Epsilon Very Seriously. Jessica watches it with trepidation, in case it does some kind of Sudden Animal Thing that would insult their guest.]

I do appreciate the spirit of the offer. There shouldn't be any need for some time, as I'm not very active here.

It's a good trait. I don't have a great deal of imagination, myself, so I'm the same in that respect. But then, that could be said for most robots. [She smiles.]

[Epsilon kneels and pets the Bulbasaur when it stops to watch her, and addresses it.] Hello. It's very nice to meet you.

Hah. I've been accused of being a robot on occasion. Though usually that's not the target people go for, since you have to be around me for a while to notice.

[Bulbasaur sees that you are following proper guest protocol of petting it, Epsilon. Very well, you are cleared for entry.] [It pats Epsilon's shin with a forepaw.]
