The fact that you are making more headway on Mawile!me's story than I am both frustrates and cheers me in equal measure, Derm. ^_^; Let's see...
The fact that the universe apparently runs on Java does not inspire a terrible amount of confidence in me in its day-to-day functionality. Also, does this technically confirm the truth of the Simulation Hypothesis within the context of the Backslash-verse? (＃°Д°)
These guys are putting way too much faith in their not-boss. Sadly, I get the feeling this is how Palkia has operated for millennia, and intends to continue operating for millennia more...
I do appreciate that WE seem to have admin rights for the universe, however. We should really have a go at fixing this mess some time, since clearly the gods aren't going to do it themselves.
Yay, Mawile!me gets to be special! In a way which will, should it be found out by anyone else, likely have way too many people interested in me, and in potentially replicating said unique typing through... erm, probably the most obvious method, but yay! Special! 😅
(I better hope Astra doesn't bring up "Fairy" as a type she knows about to anyone else later on...)
Mawile!me, flatly: "Because, sadly, we don't get to pick the species we end up as."
I'm very tempted to share the scribbly MS Paint graphic you showed me for this scene. An amusing misspeak which I can indeed imagine myself potentially saying, though I personally think the joke worked a little better before it got re-betaed by Slain/Irony.
(Also, given the shape of the mouths involved, I imagine that attempting such would be rather uncomfortable for both Astra and Mawile!me anyways.)
Oh shoot, forgot to edit the instances of this into horns (plural) while beta-ing. Ah well.
I didn't think of it while beta-ing, but I imagine my first thought upon seeing this would actually be something like "Wait, Astra knows Trick Room/Wonder Room?", and wander over to find out how that feels from the inside. How does it feel to suddenly have one's speed/defense inverted anyways? :?
(Honestly, I bet with some effort, Astra could turn this little trick into one of those moves proper. Maybe Mawile!me will ask at some point.)
Frankly, I think I'd be a little too shy for this sort of thing normally, but I suppose if I was explicitly invited... yeah, I guess I might give it a try. What would Slakoth and I's team name be? Team Claw and Maw? Tooth and Claw? Yawn and Maw-ron? ^^;
When talking has translation issues and force might just make things worse, literal scare tactics are a great way to get one's point across.
Not at all an exaggeration. Frankly, Mawile!me is having WAY more success at understanding Marill than RL!me is — I can still guess the basic idea of a sentence from a word or two, but Marill really does seem to be like speaking to someone whose words are being run through about a dozen different instances of google translate before I actually hear them. I need the Unown to install some additional language assets for my character file.
Now imagine what a nightmare he'll be to talk to if he ever evolves. *shudders*
Sounds about right. As tempting as it might be to experiment with the DOOM orb, playing around with anything that looks like this in the Pokemon World is just asking for trouble. Not to mention the cracks imply it might be broken, and attempting to activate a short-circuiting artifact of power, evil or not, mostly just sounds like a good way to get ourselves blown up. Now, how to convince Astra of this...
Not that it's my responsibility or anything, but Hoenn's apocalypse really is the worst one when you think about it. Unlike all the other regional threats, which got stopped before they could fully come to fruition (Sinnoh and Kalos), or were relatively localized to their specific region (Unova and Alola), Hoenn's apocalypse had a lead-in of what were essentially extreme natural disasters on a potentially worldwide scale. Who knows how many people died in the wake of the tsunamis+flooding and/or heat waves+droughts caused by Kyogre and Groudon's legendary pissing contest... good thing Astra is traveling with one of the MCs likely to get involved in that whole debacle, huh?
I sure hope so; that's a much more amusing line than what I had in mind when I added it during beta-ing.
