Helloooooo, not Republic City!

[Have a very close-up shot of Bolin's oh-so pretty eyes.]

So, hey. Kidnapped huh. [Kidnapped again, more like it. He leans back and strokes his lack of beard, allowing the rest of his face to be seen. There's a Sentret flopped over his shoulder like a pancake.]

This is a lot better than most kidnappings I've been to. I even get a free--uh, I'm not sure what this is. [He checks out that Sentret. It's a little familiar to him but not quite enough. Like a squished fire ferret.] Yeah, I don't know. But he is adorable! Don't tell Pabu I said that.

[The Sentret makes some little squeaky noises from his shoulder.]

Ahh, guys! It's assaulting me with cuteness! Do you think I should name him?

I gotta say, you seem pretty okay with this.

[rocking_it]

Hey, things happen. And I don't always get new pets out of it.

I do get to keep him, right?

[thetruehistorian]

It seems "friendship" is an important factor when dealing with Pokemon, and naming it will help.

[rocking_it]

Really? All right, I'll have to think of something good, then. Ah! How about Bupa?

[worktodo]

What, are you just a seasoned professional at getting kidnapped or something?

[rocking_it]

No! Nooooo. It's just, y'know, everyone gets kidnapped sometimes, right?

[punchandkiss]

I named mine Fuzzball.

[She points at her own Sentret, who poses for the camera on her tail.]

Re: [video]

[rocking_it]

Oh hey! [He waves to the Sentret and, after a moment, so does his Sentret.]

So they really do just give these out to everybody, huh? Well, at least they're getting good homes.

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

That's called a Sentret.

[The younger kid moves the camera down to show a Furret stretched out on the grass beside him, one of his bare feet visible at the edge of the screen. Sadly, Furret are about six feet long, so they don't make good shoulder pets like Sentret do.]

He'll turn into a Furret like this one after a while.

[rocking_it]

Oh hey. So he's a pup? Pretty big for a pup. [Bolin scritchies his Sentret as he talks. It makes little happy noises every once in a while.]

He must eat a ton!

[colorsofthewind]

[ A giggle! ] He's very adorable!

Re: [ video ]

[rocking_it]

He is, right? I bet I can teach him some tricks pretty quickly, too. He seems smart.

[video]

[aidolmaster]

Of course you should name him!!

[rocking_it]

But what? It's an important decision!

[Video]

[rooster_shout]

Of course, you should name him! But it has to be something fun or cool!

[rocking_it]

Or fun AND cool. But I haven't thought of anything yet.

[video]

[pikajanken]

Aww he's adorable!

[Her own Mareep can't be seen on screen but is heard until she picks her up.]

I don't see anything wrong with naming them. They're supposed to be our partners on this journey after all. Right, Candy?

[The sheep pokemon replies happily.]

Re: [video]

[rocking_it]

Yeah, it looks like I'm keeping him.

Journey ... where are we going anyway? Besides the next town?

[Hellooooooooo, newb--

Okay, you're taking this a lot better than most people.

Kidnapped before? Maybe Winry looks a bit worried at that. Kidnapping, been there, kind of. And kind of been there at least twice too, though one time was her own plan...

Giggling at the 'he is adorable' part.

...aaaaaand sorry, but It's assaulting me with cuteness part makes her laugh a lot. B-Be right back once she stops laughing too hard.]

2/2

[usedwrench]

[Still amused, but at least she can speak again.]

You should name it! They seem to like it when we give them names. And when you run into its species on the first routes, you might want to call it by its own name. Otherwise it might be very confusing.

[Or maybe many, many Sentrets would tackle hug him, who knows.]

[video]

[show_my_cannons]

You have not been kidnapped, boy. Who told you that you were?

[rocking_it]

Nobody told me, I kind of guessed it from the way I woke up somewhere that I didn't go to sleep.

[video]

[princelyspirit]

[blinks, before she offers him a wide smile]

I gotta say, you're handling this pretty well. I mean, most people kind of freak out a little when they first show up here.

[leaves out the part where she was one of those people. And besides, it wasn't really a freakout. She just... had a lot of questions, is all.]

[rocking_it]

Well, I'm kind of used to high-pressure situations, not to brag yeup.

Though this is a bit weirder than what usually happens to me.

[And he is freaking out, just quietly in the back of his own head.]

[video] i am so late but placeholder-y...

[allbend]

[ Korra had paused from whatever she was doing when she heard that voice. When the voice continues, then she knows she's not hearing things and quickly goes to grasp at her Gear and turn on the video. She gasps, eyes wide, and her burst of happiness is so sudden and large, she-- ]

Bolin! Bolin, oh, it's really you! It's so good to see you!

[ After having lost Katara and being without most of her friends and Naga, can you blame her for her reaction? ]

[rocking_it]

[Bolin's never been known for his restraint to begin with.] Korra! Oh man, you have no idea how glad I am to see you. They even took Pabu! Is Mako with you?

Where are you, anyway?
