Case 009 | Video

[canthearyou]

[When the feed starts, it shows Gordon for a brief moment before he turns the camera towards a Wooper that appears to be hiding behind a chair. She’s definitely not coming out from behind there any time soon, so Gordon’s just going to put himself back onscreen now.]

THE POKEMON YOU JUST SAW IS NAMED MINUTE. SHE USED TO BELONG TO A FRIEND OF MINE. I’VE BEEN TAKING CARE OF HER FOR ABOUT A MONTH, AND EVERY TIME I THINK I HAVE THINGS FIGURED OUT, THIS HAPPENS.

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH, MY STARTER WAS PRETTY SHY TOO, BUT I’M DEFINITELY HAVING MORE OF A PROBLEM WITH THIS ONE. SO I’D LIKE TO ASK THE FOLLOWING: DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR HANDLING POKEMON THAT ARE LIKE THIS? ALSO, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM SUGGESTING THAT I PUT IT IN THE PC BOX. I’D PREFER TO AVOID DOING THAT, SORRY.

I ASSURE YOU THAT I AM NOT TRYING TO FRIGHTEN IT, AND I AM DOING THE BEST I CAN TO KEEP MY VOICE LOWERED.

[He's trying at least.]

Sir, I have no doubt that a dashing young man such as yourself has no desire to terrify a young helpless creature. But have you considered the fact that you may be frightening it unintentionally? Perhaps you could try writing notes to it instead?

[canthearyou]

[Dashing young man? Okay, that's a new one.]

I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT TO TRY NOTES INSTEAD OF TALKING. THAT MIGHT HELP WITH THE SITUATION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE SUGGESTION. I'LL BE SURE TO GIVE THAT A TRY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

[And hopefully Minute can read them.]

[ By now Rarity's turned the volume wayyyy down, so she's quite amiable in her response. ]

No trouble at all! What is your name, dearie?

[canthearyou]

MY NAME? GORDON. GORDON COLE.

still written

[artofthestress]

Gordon! What a splendid name. My name is Rarity.

[canthearyou]

RARITY?

[He'll remember that. He's never met anyone with that name before.]

IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU, RARITY.

[artofthestress]

Likewise!

Do excuse me, but I must attend to my ears from the brutal beating they've gotten today. It has been a pleasure!
