( The first image on the screen when it lights up with activity is the ever-gazing, wide eyes of a relatively expressionless Espurr. It's definitely unsettling. As the frame pans out, one can see Levi in the background—seated on a couch—and it becomes obvious that the aforementioned Espurr is the one who's not only turned on Levi's PokéGear, but is moving it as well.

A beeping from the device is what gets Levi's attention; Espurr is silent, something he's thankful for, although that only gives the Pokémon more unwarranted freedom. An impatient 'tch' is heard as Levi gets up from his spot and closes in on the frame to lift the device and take it into his own hands. His brow is furrowed, and he's about to shut off the feed before he realizes 'Well, this is as good an opportunity as any to take advantage of an audience.' ) Oi.

This one's fucked up. ( He gestures to the Espurr—still endlessly gazing, although its wide eyes have now focused on Levi, who'd stolen its toy. Who even does that? How do you know Espurr didn't have important shit to say?

Levi's expression, when he turns back to the camera, is a cross between a grimace and a sneer. ) It doesn't make any noise. It doesn't fucking blink. It just looks like this, all the time. Is this shit normal?

( After a second, Levi makes a sound like a sigh. ) But then it gets up to shit like this when I'm not looking. My other one doesn't do that. Is it bored? Am I not feeding it enough? Fuck.

( Narrowing his eyes a bit, Levi glances at the Espurr once more, then back at the camera as he holds his finger on the 'END' button. )

It's creepy as hell. ( Another 'tch' sound, then the feed shuts off. )

Hm. [ thoughtful, levi glances at his espurr once more and then back the camera. ]

Do you have to be next to it? Can you tell what mine wants?

[red_roses]

I'm not sure...[She thinks about it.] Well, I can try at least...

[corporal]

Go for it.

[ feel free, if she's able, to tell him that it's kind of hungry but also totally a male espurr so stop calling him "it", levi ]

[red_roses]

[She watches him for a bit.] Mm....I think he wants to have a snack.

[corporal]

[ "He". Oh. Well, then. Levi just takes a moment and then nods. ]

I guess I should have thought that one through, then.

[ after a few more seconds of consideration; ]

Thanks. For your help, I mean. How many... Pokemon.. do you have?

[red_roses]

I have...um...[She has to count on her hands.] eight! Though, I don't like making Pokemon fight, so I breed them instead.

[corporal]

[ He seems pretty intrigued by that, actually. ]

Yeah? I was told to breed them, too. I mean, I guess I had a choice in the matter--but it seemed like the least obnoxious option at face value.

Why don't you like making them fight?

[red_roses]

W-Well, I don't like things like fighting....or scary things....

[corporal]

[ A thoughtful sound, followed by a 'hmm'. ]

That's noble of you.

[ then; ]

They're not all scary. I mean, of the ones I've seen.

[red_roses]

I know....some of the very big ones are, though.

[corporal]

I'll admit I.. haven't seen a lot of the bigger ones.

[red_roses]

There are some that are so big that a few people can ride them at once!

[corporal]

Wait, fuck. What? Really?

[red_roses]

Y-Yes. [She opens her Pokedex] There's one called Onix....it's very big!

[corporal]

Hm. I'm going to have to—pay more attention, looks like. Do you think the larger ones are dangerous?

[red_roses]

They could be....maybe. I suppose it would depend on whether they're trained or not?
