[[Good evening, Johto. This broadcast has not been brought to you by the typical bookish blond that usually occupies the screen when this 'gear is in use, but the oh-so-cool mug of her Quagsire, Insufferable Prick. He's sporting a pretty sweet pair of shades (which Rose still hasn't figured out where he acquired them from) and a look that just

[Why hello there, Prick. You should recognize this handsome face with as much time as his master has spent with yours.]

[Does he have any advice? Probably, but it doesn't look like he's keen on sharing it just yet. Instead, he's just going to stare at the camera for a while.]

[What is going on in that head?]

[[And he'll just stare back.]]

Sup, Sass.

[Staaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrreeeeeee.]

Hello, Prick.

[[That's cool. He knows you're not the most talkative Pokebro. He's cool with that.]]

Nice weather today, ain't it?

I suppose one could say that. If rain is to your liking.

[Pause.]

Now, what is all this fuss about rabbits?

Of course rain's to my liking, dude. Fucking love that shit. Can't get enough, it's like Pokenip or some shit. It's like the sky is showering me with it's love. All "Oh Prick, you're so cool. We love you so much. Here, have our tears. Our tears of adoration."

But yeah, anyway, rabbits. Fleecy's all up and attracted to your chicka friend Casey, but he's too fucking scared to say anything. Can't figure out how to win her heart either. Got any advice, Sass? Come on, help a bro out.

[During that entire exposition, he just continues to stare at Prick with closed eyes. Presumably, he's listening but who really knows. Who ever knows? He seems to be giving the matter some thought as it takes him a few moments to open his mouth again.]

You have nothing to worry about, Halos.

[And that's apparently all there is to say on the matter.]

Wh-wh-what?

[[Halos peers into the camera.]]

...r-really? Cause. I mean. She's. She's so funny and nice and pretty and she's really really sweet and just wonderful and I'm not really any of that. Th-there are. So many other nice Pokemon she could have. I don't. Really. Think.

I-I-I d-don't kn-kn-knoooooow.

[[Don't mind him Sassacre. He's just going to be crying in distress.]]

[usedwindything]

[He's just going to let Halos say his piece and listen...intently? Perhaps? He must have been, because holy shit, stop the presses, he's giving Halos a rather warm smile.]

She still has the flower you gave her, even though it has long since wilted. Casey is very easily impressed, she will love anything you give her or anything you do for her.

!!!!

[[Dumbstruck Flaaffy is dumbstruck.]]

...wh....wh-wh-what?

[usedwindything]

[A slow nod.]

Though, you may need to be a bit more...[How to word this?] ...direct in your approach. I am unsure as to whether or not she interpreted the gesture as a romantic one. Though it is safe to conclude that she does at least think well of you, Halos.

Ohgoshohgoshohgosh

[[Just shaking like a leaf here. Is it from fear? Excitement? Maybe his heart just gave out on him.]]

I-I-I-I...I don't. I don't think I could...b-be more...d-direct. How would I even do that?! I-I thought. I thought the flower...would. I thought for sure it would be direct and she would know exatly what I mean from that but oh gosh if she didn't did I make a complete fool of my self I probably did didn't I and she probably wouldn't ever think of me l-like that and and--

[[Back to bawling.]]

One would assume that such a gesture could only have been taken in one way. But Casey is--

[Interrupting Eevee! Yeah, he's been listening in the whole time because he's kind of a dick and has nothing better to do.]

Casey's brain is as fluffy as her paws. You have to tell her exactly what you mean or she will not understand. Why you would have your sights set on a pokémon like that is beyond me. So unsophisticated. [He turns his nose up and Sassacre gives the young Eevee a blank look. If he has an opinion on his teammate's behavior, it doesn't look like he's going to voice it.]

[[Oh jeez oh jeez this Eevee looks very angry and oh man he is---]]

H-her brain isn't like that! Sh-she. I will tell her! J-just you watch!

[[How dare you insult her, Lestat?]]

[usedwindything]

[Lestat scoffs. He's not angry, he's just got a stick up his ass. Constantly. 24/7.]

You are free to believe that if you wish. But you are wrong.

[[Oh boy, this is getting a bit derailed now, because Halos is quickly ushered out of the picture as Guile takes the screen. Do you recognize this Espeon at all, Lestat?]]

As excitable and air headed as she may be, Lestat, she is rather intelligent under it all.
