[Just another day on the Trub-cam! Trubby, who named himself since he has not received a name yet, is fiddling with the Gear for lunchtime, and has decided to take it with him on his quest; to be loved by mommy! Three guesses at who "mommy" is, and the first two don't count. Dragging the gear along, he's making a slight plasticy rustling noise, and there's some footage of the back of Cheria's shoes and the hem of her skirt.

She's humming, unaware of the noise over the sizzling of chicken in the pan over the small fire. Standing from her crouched place to move and get something, the feed just gets a view of legs, and they stretch up and there goes Trubby pointing the feed up.. Except Cheria's hands are flattening her skirt to her thighs, giving a rather disgruntled face to the camera.]

Just where do you think you're pointing that?!

[CONFISCATING THAT GEAR and not knowing it's recording... oops. Well, viewers get the inside of an apron pocket for the rest of show while Cheria finishes cooking; eventually, it times out.]

Curry.. [Makes her think of Asbel. Going to look a little sad before pushing it off her mind and nodding.] I agree. I can handle curry, but anything spicier just isn't my thing.

[fairycircle]

[LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT THAT]

Y... yes. Of course. [Still trying to shake off her AUUGUGHGHHH]

[fairycircle]

[Holding her face with one hand, she's inwardly sobbing all over again.]

I.. I'm not sure I can deal with him running around on his own anymore. Not until I have a few other Pokemon to at least occupy him. [Gestures with her other hand at the food that is now done and on a plate, sitting on the small fold out tray she brought along.]

Go ahead and eat, I'm still cooking mine.

[babel_hacker]

[HE WON'T]

What are you making?

[Video]

[fairycircle]

[cry]

Grilled chicken. It's my favorite dish and since my travel partner doesn't have a preference, I decided to start there.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

Oooh, grilled chicken. I haven't had that one in a while. Just grilled chicken?

There's a salad too, mostly just leafy greens with a tomato and cucumber in the mix. I'm thinking I should have bought croutons too, but I tried to stick to the healthy essentials until we reach the next town.

[roemance]

Yeah you should just put him awway he ain't wworth all this hassle. Wwe can get some more pokebeasts then maybe you can trade him in for a better vversion or somethin'.

[Which is... humane.. SORT OF?]

[But more important than getting rid of crap pokemon- is food.

Thanks Cher. It looks good.

[fairycircle]

He ran off when I confiscated the gear, but I will do just that when he comes out of the bushes. [She's still not sure she wants to trade the thing away since he seems so strangely attached to her, but... At least the topic change makes her relax and offer a small smile.] Glad to hear it. I made salad too if you're interested! I should have bought croutons though, it's lacking a little crunch to me.

[There's a good sized bowl of it near the second fold out tray where she's been putting her cooking ingredients; it's mostly just leafy greens with a tomato and cucumber, but there's italian dressing! Light and good for a hot day, right?]

[roemance]

You need to train him not to do that if you're insistin' on keepin' him, havvin' a disobedient poke beast isn't gonna do you any good.

[The salad looks good though, so he scoops a little of it to put on his plate.]

This looks fine to me. I mean yeah, it probably is better wwith the croutons but that doesn't mean that it isn't also good wwithout them.

[wontdieifkilled]

Then if you haven't tried it yet, stay far away from mapo tofu. That stuff's gotta be at least as hot as the surface of the sun.

[video]

[fairycircle]

Haha, right, I will then.

1/2

[fairycircle]

I know, I know. These eggs need to hatch faster, it's a little too hard to train the Magikarp with the Trubbish being.. himself. [Smelly and do-what-he-wants.]

[fairycircle]

Good, I was hoping you would like it! [Beaming a smile, she's going to go back to cooking her chicken then, humming again.]

[roemance]

I think they should be hatchin' sometime soon. By the end of the wweek at most I'm assumin'?

[And he is just watching her, cooking and humming along, it's just so weird to be hanging around with someone who actually talks to him and just accepts what he says.]

[fairycircle]

Hopefully! I've been writing down notes on how the eggs look each day so I can guess more accurately with each egg I get.

[It shouldn't be weird at all, is what she would say. The humming eventually comes to an end as she moves her slice of chicken onto a plate and gets some salad as well. Having a seat, she's going to dig in! With lady-like tendencies, of course. Not one to stuff her face, she starts with the salad.]

So how was today's training?

[roemance]

[Eridan goes back to eating, stopping a moment to wave his fork around as he swallows his food before answering. Gotta have manners and all.]

Wwell my Horsea levvelled up again an' I evven got some experience for Dualscar so it wwent pretty wwell.

[oh that's right]

Dualscar's the name a'the other karp, the one I'm actually levvellin' up. Finally thought of a good enough name for it.

[fairycircle]

[Manners are such a wonderful thing!] That's good! Where did you get the name Dualscar from? It sounds very unique.

[Works away at her salad while listening.]

[roemance]

It wwas the name of my ancestor. He wwas really great in evverythin' he did, ruled the seas an' evveryone feared him. It's a perfect name for it seein' as Kar said they transform into those Gyrados types.

[fairycircle]

Wow... that really does sound amazing! I suppose the fierce look of a Gyarados would fit a powerful ancestor like that. [PUMPING YOUR EGO MUCH? OOPS.]

[roemance]

Exactly! make's sense I'd name somethin' of that magnificence after someone as awwesome as my ancestor wwas.

[NO KEEP GOING]

[fairycircle]

What did you name your others, if I can ask? [SHE LIKES ASKING QUESTIONS THAT MAKE HIM TALK, it gives her more time to eat and the conversation is pretty nice anyway! Also gives her a better idea on what kind of person he is. A little full of himself, but it's a proudness that isn't so bad. She's seen worse.]

[roemance]

[He shuts up for a minute to eat another fork full of food- he was pretty hungry after all. Once he swallows it though, Eridan is quite content to chatter away.]

Well.. Incitatus is the name of my Horsea. Did I tell you that already? Not sure if I did or not.

Anywway it wwas the name of Caligula's favvourite horse. He was this really great [tyrannical] ruler so i think it's really fittin'.

I'm wwaitin' on that other egg to hatch, if it turns out to be somethin' that looks like it could be feirce then I'm gonna name it Ahab. He wwas the name of the really great [tyrannical] captain in the Moby Dick story if you'vve read it.

As for this Misdreavvus I havve, I'm havvin' trouble thinkin' of something.

[That's all for now, so he goes back to eating. Oh. Wait.[

Oh and that other Magikarp I got is called Sol cause that's also a bloody fuckin' fittin' name.

[fairycircle]

[She is listening with interest, at least! Nodding at knowing the Moby Dick story, well.. she can't agree that he was great, but the story was written to be that way and he must have liked the character, so no harm there. Hmm's a little at the Misdreavus still being unnamed.. she'll help think of something.

"Sol" makes her tilt her head though, fork removed from her mouth.] Sol? That means the sun in some languages. I guess it could fit, since the coloring is so bright. [NOPE DON'T KNOW THIS SOL.]

[roemance]

No that isn't it. Sollux is Alternian for "idiotic mutant dumbass."

[Said oh so casually as he carries on with dinner]
