005 | Of names and other things...

[diehardreaper]

Here's a question for you lot.

[ Today finds Ronald under a tree, enjoying the weather as he uses Barkley (now a houndoom) as a pillow. ]

Color a bloke curious but... how'd you come up with names for your pokemon? Ever fancy naming them after anyone from home?

Just a passing curiosity!

I suppose it would be. I've come to quite like clothing - I always wore the same thing, back home.

Flatterer. I never did thank you for the chocolate, did I?

It's fascinating, the diversity and strength in personality of Pokemon. Far more than I'm used to, among animals.

I only call them as I see them, mind. And clothes make the man, after all! S'half the pleasure of life, I find.

No thanks necessary. S'long as you enjoyed them, that's thanks enough.

[ And a hum for that. ]

Odd, innit? Back home, a cow's a cow like every other cow but here... you'd think they're people with how they act.

In that case, good food is the other half.

I did, thank you.

[Lust pauses, thoughtful.]

It makes a very strong case for the idea that intelligence directly effects strength of personality. One cow is much the same as any other, but more intelligent animals like dogs have more unique differences between them.

I've yet to meet a single species of Pokemon that was anywhere near dumber than a dog.

Would've said a pretty thing was the other half but I wager decent grub does just as well if that's your fancy!

[ And he looks rather pleased at that. Good. She liked them. But onto more pressing matters. You may have lost him in the earlier sentence but good thing the second one summarizes it rather well. ]

Blimey, I'll say. The pigeons I've seen back home're nowhere near as smart as the pidoves here. Almost like they can understand you.

Aesthetics are so subjective, and the joy a pretty trinket brings is fleeting and based in pride and displays of power. I own nice things because they're proof of my wealth and independence.

It's a pleasant change from being someone's proof of wealth and power.

[Lust's views are very much shaped by her own experiences.]

They understand you perfectly, I'm sure. And talk about you among themselves. I know a woman who's taught her team to cook and clean with her.

[ There's a bit of a curious look there, almost as if he's trying to make head or tail of the first bit. Part of him thinks he shouldn't pry and yet another part of him is curious as to what exactly that meant.

So... on to the other bit. ]

Definitely much smarter'n the animals back home, m'sure. It's a bit strange to think about.

It makes one wonder if 'animal' is even the proper terminology.

S'what they look like... but you're prolly right on that account, love. These lot're definitely more'n just animals.
