[at the camp bulletin board]

[touch_sensitive]

[outside of the mess hall there's a bulletin board. it has a new message posted on it today:

Wanted:
Single camper looking for cabin space.
Pet friendly preferable.
If interested, see Kudou.

beneath the sign sits a very shaken looking boy with red, puffy eyes, holding a duffle bag in gloved hands.]

You look pretty rough.

[touch_sensitive]

...

[stolengood]

Rough night?

[touch_sensitive]

... Yeah.

[stolengood]

What kind of pets do you have?

[touch_sensitive]

Mm... Four kittens. Two plush kittens. Five eevee. An espion and ... [shakes his head]

[stolengood]

Woah. Kind of a cat person, huh. What's an eevee?

[touch_sensitive]

A pokemon -- so is the espion.

[stolengood]

Are they cute?

[touch_sensitive]

Yeah... do you want one?

[stolengood]

[laughs]

There is no way I should be in charge of another living creature. That would be a bad move.

[shrugs]

It'd probably just leave if it didn't like you, but they're good companions, and can become one of several different varieties.

[stolengood]

What, like a choose-your-own-adventure pet?

[touch_sensitive]

[nods]

I guess -- espion is one of the evolved forms of eevee.

[stolengood]

What are the other ones like?

[touch_sensitive]

[shrugs]

I have a pokedex back at ... boy 17. There are different elements, fire, water, psychic, darkness. I don't know all of them.
