Okay, so does albinism happen to run in particular Pokémon species? I thought it might've been a newborn thing, but it's been a while and normal fur hasn't grown in yet for him at all.

[A young, energetic Sneasel clambers his way up the back of York's chair. He's kind of excessively pink.

Someone's got his first shiny is what's happening here.

The Sneasel waves at the camera, then slips back down in an undignified tumble before running off again to play with York's Rotom. York watches him go before shaking his head.]

I ask 'cause I know that can cause eye problems, but he hasn't complained about it and Delta Two hasn't picked up any bad news from him. But he's a Dark type and a baby, so I dunno how much she'd be able to get from him, anyway. Do I need to get him glasses? Keep him out of the sun?

--Also, anyone celebrating Hanukkah this year, hope you had a good one. York out.

[He laughs.]

It's a codename, dude. Special ops, remember? It's one of a couple call signs I had in my time.

I remember. But seriously. Are there fifty of you?

[That'd actually be pretty cool.]

Next you'll tell me North and South Dakota are twins.

They are. North's only ten minutes older and he still calls her "kiddo."

[YUP.

CALLED IT.

Of course the one named North is older.]

What about the Carolina's?

Nah, Carolina's an only child.

[And it is soooo easy to tell.]

I forget if she's technically North or South Carolina; whoever the other one was, I didn't see 'em much. Those of us at the top of the rankings only really went out on assignments with each other. Same faces every day, that kind of thing.

But why States?

Look, the same guy named a bunch of AI programs after letters of the Greek alphabet. I think he just wasn't too creative about naming schemes.

The military likes doing that, don't they.

We tend to save our creative juices for inventing new and flashy ways to kill things, so yeah, sometimes we're a little lacking on other fronts.

[Hire a philosophy or art major?]

That.... sounds like something adults do a lot.

[Nah man we send those guys to sim trooper bases and then use them as target practice! : D]

Uh, hopefully not all adults, dude. Just, y'know, the ones who are supposed to.

[That's not how natural selection works.

Adults are weird, man.]

Adults are always making up weird things, like new smoothie flavors with the vegetable of the week.

Oh. Yeah, okay. I thought you meant killing people. You're right, adults totally make up weird vegetable crap all the time.

[No!]

N-No!

[Why would-.... wait, this is a horror movie kid. Some of those deaths are really creative... no need to mention that right now.]

... It's like they're trying to make something inedible more inedible.

I got nothing against smoothies myself, but then again, I guess I do technically qualify as an adult.

[Technically.]

What I don't really get is the whole phenomenon of veggie of the week in the first place.

It's something hipsters came up with, I think.

[Hipsters are awful.]
