ratherbelocky[The feed flips on to show a man holding a brush in one hand and a young Shinx in his lap. Both of them appear to have been freshly bathed, with the damp Shinx swaddled in one of Cherrygrove Inn's warm, fluffy towels. When all of her wriggling and protesting comes to naught, she just lies there in her towel burrito and seethes. York, on the other hand, has found that shops in this world do, apparently, sell hair product for humans, and he couldn't be happier. He's fixed his hair for the first time in days. Life is wonderful.
Not that vanity's necessarily the reason he hasn't introduced himself to the PokéConnect community at large yet. It's just. You know. Coincidence.]
Good morning, people. And Pokémon, too, of course, can't forget you guys. For those of you I haven't spoken to yet, I'm York, I'm one of your more recent unwitting transplants to sunny Johto. Or, well, partially cloudy Johto, anyway. How about that weather, huh?
[The temperature has dropped literally twenty degrees in the five days since he got here, oh my god, why. Being caught out on the road in yesterday's rainstorm sucked. Now he's warm and dry and comfortable in a clean shirt a couple sizes too big for him (and he's not exactly a small man). Really, what could be better than being alive here and now?
He rubs the Shinx's fur drier, unwraps her, and then holds her still before she can escape so he can brush the tangles out. She mewls fussily, but his hands are steady, and eventually she relaxes--if mutinously--into the attention. He chuckles a little.]
But okay, I'm not actually here to make small talk. I got a question for you folks.
[He turns the PokéGear with the back of his brush to show another Pokémon, an Elgyem, bundled up in a blanket on the bed, fast asleep.]
Can someone tell me more about Psychic Pokémon? [He goes back to brushing.] I get that they read minds--Delta Two there communicates with me all the time--but she doesn't use words so it's hard to get more...complicated ideas across, sometimes. I was wondering, can you train them to talk? Or do other things? These guys are obviously a lot more intelligent than the animals back on my Earth, so I guess you could say I'm curious about what they can do.
[The Shinx's eyes are half-closed now as York brushes away. Someone's a sleepy baby.]
'Preciate your time. Over and out.

action ;; ahh ok! i just hate leaving people waiting. <3
Date: 2015-09-27 08:57 pm (UTC)My brother and I used to bother the animals at the farms near our houses. We never had any "big" pets of our own. I'm playing it by ear. [ Agnes wriggles where she is kept to him under his other arm and drops to the ground with a deft thump. She gets up, stands, and just looks at York's shin. No harm done. ]
It's hard to do the whole animal-lover thing in my line of work. [ Lockon laments with a sigh and shrugs his shoulders. ] I grew up faster than I had to. I didn't have the time when I was a kid either.
action ;; As you can see, I am the one who leaves people waiting!
Date: 2015-09-29 12:18 pm (UTC)Yeah. I couldn't exactly keep pets where I last was, either.
[He carefully avoids asking about Lockon's past. Growing up too fast...York can make some guesses about what that might mean, but it's none of his business, and Lockon will talk about it if he wants to.]
And definitely not when I was running around in space. One soldier has even the possibility of allergies aboard a Light Frigate? Nobody gets to have any fun. One of our guys had to leave his cats behind, kept pictures of 'em in his locker.
