[fifteenth bullet] video/action
[When Liquid tossed the Pokegear onto the bed next to the egg he'd mysteriously gotten for Christmas, it turned on and started the feed. The egg had been wrapped up to keep it warm, and now it was making little cracking noises and was rocking slightly where it lay; Liquid had already hatched one Pokemon by now, so he wasn't too concerned.

I thought a levitating rock hatching from an egg was bizarre enough, but a pterodactyl? This place makes no sense at all.

[Liquid doesn't look a hell of a lot better than she does, considering that he looked kind of like one giant bruise and had a broken arm. In a pink cast.]
I'm not really quite sure what to make of this.
[Hatching a dinosaur was pretty fantastic, but at the same time, it was a fucking dinosaur.]

{She notices.} Nice cast. How'd it happen - a gang of Pokemon ambush you?
...It's adorable, but it looks like it could take your fingers off if you weren't careful.
{Dinosaurs, moons, what the hell went wrong with the biology of this place?!}

[Have a dry look.] I fell off of Sprout Tower, actually. [You know, the ten-story building in Violet. That Sprout Tower.]
Probably. It seems docile enough, though.

{Raised eyebrow} Pink is manly, don't worry. My Captain constantly wears a long pink haori, and he's one of the best fighters that Seireitei has ever known. ... Sprout Tower. How high is it?
For now. Most baby animals are quite docile when newborn - it's a survival mechanism, or something...

[eyeroll] I didn't need the cast at all. I was forced into getting it. [He doesn't care if other men wore pink, he did not like the color.] The Tower's about one hundred feet or so, I think.
[Yeah, and he fell from that and only got a broken arm. Liquid is good at not dying when he ought to.]
If I raise it properly, it should be fine.

Casts are usually necessary, even if you insist on the opposite.
One hundred feet? That's only a small distance to fall. {What. She's a Shinigami, and they usually fight hundred of feet in the air.}
Therefore, be kind to it. ...would it eat fish, do you think?

[He had come to recognize that this place had people from all different worlds, so it shouldn't be much of a surprise that at least one of them wasn't human. And any human who found out that a man had survived a hundred-foot fall would be a little impressed, since that kind of height killed most humans.]
I have a gentle hand for things that are mine. And it might... I'll try it.

{Nanao was learning the same thing, but to her, superhuman feats were everyday occurences. And she's fallen further than that before, too.}
I guessed nothing less. If it doesn't like fish, try a few of the savoury berries cut into strips. {Smiles at him disarmingly} I've had a little experience with hand-rearing animals... Just not the dinosaur type.

[It sounded batshit, but everything else here was batshit too, so why the hell not.]
[She's kind of cute when she smiles.] As have I. But your advice is... appreciated.

{This world is odd, what with all the temporal/spacial paradoxes, but it wasn't too bad.}
My apologies, but some of the people here seem... Less than competent at caring for newborns. Hence, I offered my advice, but it seems that it wasn't needed. {Smile. This guy isn't so bad.}
Reply
[It was certainly better than it could have been. Liquid was almost getting used to the fact that no one was actively trying to kill him.]
That doesn't at all surprise me. My experience with young only extends to birds of prey, but I'd doubt if anyone has much advice on what to feed an extinct reptile.

{And it could always be worse. For example, Hollows. They hunt and kill souls. Even those in bodies, aka the living.}
It's rather scary, seeing how some of these people treat their partners. ...Perhaps you could ask a timetraveller. There must be someone here with experience on reptiles.
