VOICEMAIL

[enjoymyatelier]

"...well, I suppose it's about time I make one of these things...

Hello, you have reached the voicemail of Lord Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi. I am unable to answer at this time due to some other business I have to attend to, but state your purpose and I'll get back to you whenever I find the time."

[I'm cool with any sort of one-on-one stuff going on here so long as it starts with a voicemail! Obviously we'll need to plan if our characters are in the same area or not if we want to switch to action, but you know!]

Hi, this is for Bernie, when you get this can you call me back? Thanks.

[...he would never understand why this person was so interested in talking to his Archeops

well he may as well get it over with...]

E...xcuse me?

6/30? WHATEVER DAY IT WENT UP.

[timelymaid]

[ calling kayneth randomly just because - holy shit there's a voicemail.

THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. ]

Kayneth! You set up a voicemail! That's terrific! I kept meaning to suggest you do so, but I always forgot...but this is great! Oh, it sounds so professional, too! Except for the bit at the beginning, I mean.

[ totally forgot what her business was in the excitement, yes. ]

It's a lot better than being directed to - well, nowhere. That was always a bit of a bummer! And - hey! Put that down!

[ aaaand she hangs up. ...That's a useful voicemail, right? ]

voice

[enjoymyatelier]

[oh hey! this thing is actually useful, there's Megido.

...uh-]

Ah, hello, Megido. I'm usually not one for this sort of thing, which is why I didn't bother to set it up for quite some time... but I believe it will be useful in the long run, at least.

...What... er, happened there, anyway?

[voice]

[darkenedgales]

[Oh good, exactly the person Crow wanted to speak to! And no, he's not calling with a prank or something silly like that, either; in fact, he has an important question to ask, and as far as he's concerned, Kayneth might be the only person capable of answering it. Thus, he's quite serious about the conversation that's about to begin--]

... Dude, that's one hell of a fucked-up name. What don'tcha shorten it or something?

[YEAH, ABOUT THAT...]

Anyway, I've got a question for ya. Call me back when you've got time, 'kay?

[voice]

[enjoymyatelier]

[...and he will get a fairly cranky response to that, um]

For the record, El-Melloi is an esteemed title, and I would rather prefer it was used. I'll spare you the history behind it, but I really don't care if you use it or my last name.

What was it that you wanted?

Growlithe Report

Moves Gained From Breeding:
()Leer
()Ember
()Flame Wheel
()Double-Edge
()Flamethrower
()Flame Charge

As soon as the Growlithe was born, it displayed an adamant desire to show its prowess. He seemed very proud of what he already knows and is eager to learn more. His loyalty was easy to gain. As he's mainly a Fire-type, he's weak to Ground, Water, and Rock types. Though he's shown to be agile, his behavior leans towards a more physical fighting style.

[enjoymyatelier]

[...oh, that was prompt! And... hm. So, two moves that he wouldn't have learned otherwise... well, that's certainly better than nothing, given Double-Edge's power and Flame Charge's stat boosting-]

Thank you for your detailed report, Miss Ackerman; this should be quite helpful in the future. I'll keep a note of it for future reference.

so guess what


[ The chances of Kayneth actually playing a guessing game are pretty low, Aradia. ]

[enjoymyatelier]

[...if she actually tries to get him to play a guessing game-]

What is it?

[nostabbing]

Hi, this is for Bernie, I just wanted to call and see if you'd gotten a spare Gear activated because your stupid trainer lost his first one.

[Click.]

[enjoymyatelier]

[NOPE SORRY

YOU'RE GETTING THE DOUCHEBAG]

Lost is a word for it, I suppose.

[voice]

[ortion]

Good evening, Kayneth. Do you recall my promise to show you some absolutely amazing technology? I recently finished my latest creation and I believe you may be interested in seeing it for yourself.

[He's attached a copy of the video from this post for Kayneth's viewing pleasure.]

[voice]

[enjoymyatelier]

[...okay, so there might be just a little bit of disapproval

just a bit...

but aside from that]

Well, I do have to admit, I am considering taking you up on your offer. After all, it does sound quite interesting... and really, I have no qualms about offering a bit of assistance in your research myself.

Oh, come, now, I've already gotten one. Do I really need two?

text/video, 8-29 sh it's not a day late

[ladywithnovoice]

At 4:23 in the morning on August 29 of 2014, one Houndour egg hatched. Showing a regular tendency to teeth like many young mammals, the Houndour in question then proceeded to use Fire Fang on the blankets he had been resting on and nearly set the hotel room on fire.

Once the issue of potentially burning to death was immediately dealt with, the newborn Houndour was let outside to be fed. Once outside, he demonstrated the following skills on various wildlife too curious for their own good:

* Bite
* Fire Fang
* Smog
* Fire Spin
* Fire Blast

Once exhausted of his energy, the Houndour proved to be similar enough that my Arcanine and Growlithe pair accepted him with little fuss and began to play with him. The only outstanding characteristic has been captured on the attached video.

[And indeed, there is a video! The holder is clearly sitting near the water by Sprout Tower... when a tiny black and gray blur goes past and dives into the pond. The next five minutes are a study in how long a tiny little Houndour can flail around in the water before successfully catching a Ducklett to try and drag to show. The video ends when said Ducklett nearly flaps away with Houndour attached in an effort to get away.]

[enjoymyatelier]

...Ah.

Well, I'm glad he's mostly under control, but... I do apologize that he's been a bit of a bother so far.

Though, you'd really think the hotels would have fireproof sheets, given the sheer amount of Pokemon that are literally on fire.

Anyway, thank you for the report. I do appreciate it, and I wish you... better luck in the future.

[ Early in the afternoon Aradia will send over one (1) Swirlix to Kayneth's PC... ]

got you something new to study
have fun!!! :)
by the way what new things have you seen of late
ive seen a few ones

[ yeah no she in no way got it for him for science she just thought it was cute and the idea of kayneth with cute pokemon is an amusing one... ]

[enjoymyatelier]

[Well! He goes to check that thing out before replying.

...it is a while before he does reply, because he's just staring at it for a while.]

Honestly, I think I'm only less offended by the existence of this thing than the sentient ice cream by virtue of the fact that it's clearly just some animal that likes coating itself with sweets for some ungodly reason.

I... thank you for this strange, mildly disgusting new discovery.

Anyway, speaking of new discoveries, I encountered the cats and dogs like everyone else seems to have, but an extremely interesting Pokemon appeared in Blackthorn the other day...

Did Hiccup tell you he was going anywhere?

[enjoymyatelier]

No, I haven't heard from him today.

...admittedly, today was a bit hectic, but... I haven't actually seen him in general.
