✖ voice ✖ oo3 ✖

( Levi's voice is aggravated when he clicks on his PokéGear, although really, it's not all that much different from his standard tone. )

Oi. My Pokémon have made eggs. I wasn't trying to do that, but it doesn't seem like they much care about my own intentions. The fuck am I supposed to do with these?

I don't need thirty fucking cats. ( There's a short pause for an almost melodramatic sigh, then. )

I'm sure they'll be shitting all over the place if I end up with too many of them. Do I hand them out? Sell them? Shit. ( After a few more seconds, Levi makes a sound like a 'tch' because wow complaining takes so much work nobody knows how hard his life is. )

Let me know if you want a cat or whatever.

( Aaaand click. )

How is it that a cat is capable of laying eggs?

[ He's been reading through the handbook he was given, but still can't honestly comprehend that aspect. ]

[ That's an excellent question. It's a question that Levi would have had as well, if he hadn't seen some shit. ]

I wish I could say that I knew, but it's a fucking mystery. Apparently all Pokémon lay eggs, regardless of whatever standard animals they seem to look like.

Odd.

I appreciate the insight. The Pokémon I was given resembles a pigeon so her laying an egg would not have phased me.

[ Perhaps Levi can hear the happy chirping of William's Pidove in the background. ]

[ He definitely can, and it makes him furrow his brow a bit. Birds. That's cute though, at least they both ended up with cute shit, apparently it isn't all adorable. (Like Levi even has an eye for what's adorable, jfc). ]

Ah, yeah, well, there you go. You're one of the lucky ones. I shouldn't act like I'm so new here, I guess it's been a while, but a lot of this is still new information.

[ He's quite for a moment while he observes his Pidove. ]

I suppose. At least she seems to behave herself.

Honestly, I have never be charged with the responsibility of keeping something alive and well. This will certainly be a new experience.

Mine were turning shit on when I wasn't looking. They're probably rummaging through my bags, and one of them may or may not be eyeballing me while I sleep. So, yeah.

[ A very, very faint 'heh' can be heard at that. ]

I took care of a small handful of brats for a while; these things seem to be a lot like children. Not too different, anyway. They talk back less.

We can contain them in their Pokéballs, can't we? Perhaps yours should stay within theirs until you need their assistance for something.

[ He's also never taken care of children or small animals, but the excessively violent approach he uses when disciplining Grell is probably not appropriate. ]

A learning experience for both of us, then.

[ levi is also a fan of excessive violence in discipline

this is a match made in heaven ok ]

—I suppose I hadn't considered that, although it seemed unusually cruel.

[ They should trade ideas back and forth. Discuss some hard discipline plans over a cup of coffee. You know, typical coffee talk topics. ]

Honestly, if they are not behaving, then you have to show them who is in charge. And if they don't listen, release them.

[ Oh man, so true. How does William feel about tea? bc Levi's huge into his black tea. so into it that they made him his own tea apparently.... they're basically soulmates lbr ]

I wish it were simple enough that I could just release them—but unfortunately I'm generally their military superior.

[ William's from London, of course he loves tea. Though he is a coffee drinker too. Gotta stay awake to reap souls all day and night. ]

At least you take your job seriously.

[ Why can't you work for him, Levi. Honestly. ]

[ awww yeaaahhh and damn why is his job so much more exciting than levi's, levi wonders ]

And how do your subordinates behave?

[ A very audible huff. Some of them try but... don't even get him started on Grell. ]

I will say this: They need to learn to separate their personal and professional lives.

[ that gets a small, low laugh. ]

They're not great at steering clear of dramatics, I take it?

Dramatics is putting it lightly.
