[The feed opens with a sound that, depending on who you are, will either be heartbreaking, laughable, or just plain annoying:
A Togepi's sobbing.
The little half-shelled Pokemon is sitting in a distressed-looking Dash's lap, surrounded by several new Pokemon not usually seen with Crayola-head: a Snover beside her, a Mareep curled up at her feet, and

She could also be....tired?

... I don't cry when I'm tired! 'Sides, if she's so tired why doesn't she just sleep? [Dash, stop being rude to strangers that are trying to help you.]

Babies can't....talk. [ Pause, before Machi realizes that she has to connect that to the topic at hand somehow. ] So they cry.
...Babies also cry when afraid? [ Another suggestion. BECAUSE THIS WILL TOTALLY HELP THE SITUATION. ]
Reply
Afraid...? Dunno what she's so afraid of!
[... Actually she might have an idea. She'd be scared too if she was a baby Pokemon and her trainer-- that one parent figure-- disappeared without any warning. Gingerly, she sets the Togepi into her lap again. The Furret around Dash's shoulders slides down to cuddle with it.
Dash eyes the 'gear again.]
Thanks anyway, uh... What's your name?
Reply
At the 'thanks', though, she looks away uncomfortably. ] ...Ah. [ Name. Right. ] I am...Machi Kuragi.

Oh. [She glances at the Furret and Togepi for a moment, and quickly pulls the Furret away, placing it a foot away.]
And I'm Rainbow Dash! [A grin! That... quickly falters into a slightly perplexed frown.] Geez, uh... Can I just call ya Ma-chee? [Pony pronunciation is a killer, man.]

It is....nice to meet you, Rainbow...Dash-san. [ Machi is a little thrown off by Dash's name, but she tries to hide it. Not like she's not awkward anyway. ] And that's fine.

Well, she's... I... don't really know actually, heh... She was born sometime last month, I think. [Dash: WOULD MAKE THE WORST PARENT EVER.
Hey, at least she isn't outrightly making fun of it like other people do! Machi's cool in Dash's book so far.] Heh, cool! Good to meetcha too, Machi! [Theeerrre we go!]
Reply
[ Just. Even Machi's thrown by that, because how do you not know how old it is? So she's not...saying...anything. Just staring at the Togepi in something like concern.
But have a nod at that next bit, just to be polite. ]

H-hey, don't gimme that look! It's...! [She gestures at the Togepi.] ... She's not... even really mine. She's my friend's.

Are you....babysitting, then?

My friend, she, uh... disappeared. My calls just go nowhere, and all her Pokemon just showed up in my PC... [She shrugs her shoulders as a gesture to the Pokemon sittings around her-- the Furret, Snover, Mareep, and, of course, the Togepi.]
I'm just lookin' after all of them until she shows up again. [Nod, nod. Even though... she's definitely fearing that Kaitlyn won't ever come back.] So... If ya see a little blonde filly with blue ribbons in her mane, tell me first, got it? [... And there goes the Pony Speak.]
Reply
[ ...It's the thought that counts, right? Anyway, something else caught her attentionl. ]
.....A blonde filly? Is your friend...a horse?
