[ When the camera feed flicks on, it reveals one (1) Neku Sakuraba squinting down at the screen, his Growlithe flopped belly-up across his lap and waiting ( impatiently ) for tummy rubs. It's obvious from Neku's slightly disheveled appearance and Growlithe's happy panting that the two have been training for most of the afternoon. Looks like someone

I think they're cute! And they don't really look like sheep once they're done evolving. [ this is seconded by Posie the Ampharos, her pink bell collar ringing merrily as she pushes her head carefully onto the screen. ]

But you're looking for names? [ oh thank god, there is hope for you. ]

1/3 VIDEO.

"Cute" wasn't really what I was going for --

[em0phones]

[ LOLWAT ]

-- Is that a giraffe ?!

[em0phones]

. . .

[ Oh, right. ... Names. ]

Kinda. ... I mean, I've never really been a big pet person, but... it's weird, leaving 'em nameless.

[ except now he's tempted to name the sheep "giraffe". there is no hope. ]

Gira-- no, she's an Ampharos! What kind of giraffe do you know that's got paws??

[ see, look, she's waving them now. ]

[restardom]

[ No, Neku. Don't give into the urge. Be strong. ]

... Anyway, you could name them after people or things you know, or what they're like... like giving nicknames, you know?

It's not like I'm a giraffe expert.

[ Maybe he should have paid more attention at the zoo. ]

... whatever the hell that is, how did it turn from a sheep into... a giraffe with paws?

[em0phones]

. . .

[ Neku takes a moment to reflect upon the nicknames from his world. :|a

-- Somehow, Dog and Sheep would probably be less painful. ]

... What did you name yours?

[restardom]

Well, she... [ pausing. You know... probably best not to mention she turned pink. For the sake of Neku's nonexistent masculine pride. ] Once they evolve once, they start standing on two feet, and then they just get bigger and lose their wool. And she's not a giraffe.

[ but that's probably a pointless argument, so Rise doesn't pursue it. Posie certainly doesn't seem to mind. ]

And this is Posie. She eats flowers, but since her dad was called Dandelion, I just went for a theme.

[ oh god woe unto neku and his desperate attempt to cling to his dignity. ]

... a sheep that loses its wool and starts walking around on two legs doesn't sound like much of a sheep.

[em0phones]

. . .

[ Blink. ] ... So you made her a cannibal when you named her?

[restardom]

There aren't any posies around here!! Don't go getting weird ideas!

[em0phones]

You're the one who decided to name your giraffe after a flower just because it ate them!

How am I the one with weird ideas?

[restardom]

I said I named her after her dad!!

[ we... won't talk about Shoelace the Gastrodon. ]

[em0phones]

That just means there are two cannibal-giraffes running around out there!

They're not cannibals!! Sheep eat grass and plants - you've got one doing that right now - and that's a fact, no matter what you name them! And Posie's just like any other sheep!!
