[Boy, this kid really doesn't get out much does he?]
No? Clearly not? I am from the planet Altea, for instance, and this planet apparently has its own ecosystem.
Is this a game...?
[Because the alternative is she's lying, and that seems rude to accuse a stranger of.]
[... Okay, VERY sheltered.]
Yes, this is all a game, and my friend and I are pretending to be kidnapped to a strange place with no means to get home for fun. Whee...
Once he gets it, though, he bristles.]
Okay. So you're a liar. When I see an adult I'm telling.
[Because unfortunately he is that kind of child.]
I am not a liar! I am genuinely asking you for help! And yes, please tell your parents that there are two children in need of assistance, because clearly they would be nicer and more useful than you!
[A small part of her regrets that last clause, but look, it's been a long day, she has no idea where she is or how to get home or even get a message to Altea. It's a lot for a girl, even one who's supposed to be a princess. So... yes, a few tears might start leaking out too.]
Someone tell this Pikachu to stop handling things at the crime scene.
03:11
He's getting his fingerprints all over the murder weapon, fantasy Jesus fuck
03:12
Do pokemon have fingerprints? Koalas have fingerprints.
03:14
STOP THAT
03:15
I don't think this Pikachu has any forensic training at all. *Detective* Pikachu my ass
The Flittle he'd been playing with before hovers worriedly around him, but he hardly seems to notice. He stands rigid, face red and eyes full of unshed tears. His mouth is twisted in absolute fury.
And then....]
RYAN!!
[Allura blinks at the gear a few times--oh, it's Riz. She leaves a grumbling Keith in bed, muting the gear and taking it to the bathroom so the light won't disturb him or their Pokémon.]
Riz, have you seen the timestamps on the phone?
[DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?]
Besides, I find the show charming.
Well no, the science does need some work (and I imagine that would bother you much more than me), but the characters writing is quite solid, and you have to admit there are some clever jokes here and there, yes?
Min-Gi! Is everything okay?! What's wrong?
[He's making the 'bout to cry face and that's never good.]
Fair enough. (I would probably be just as finicky about a political drama.)
[Clearly this means Allura needs to live react to The West Wingull.]
[At first, Allura's own goody two-shoes flinch at the idea of being told on, but oh. It's another child, and really, she remembers SHE'S not the one in the wrong here.]
Hello. My name is Allura, and my friend and I have been kidnapped. We are trying to find a way to contact our homes and families. Can you help us?
I can imagine. Are there any detective shows you do enjoy?
[Know that Riz and Adaine have absolutely solved the Zodiac killer like four times already.]
That sounds lovely. I tend to enjoy historical fiction dramas, and both Keith and I love science fiction stories, even as we go over the inconsistencies together.
[And of course she enjoys romance, but she knows neither Riz and Keith are that interested... although her husband is nice enough to enjoy her sometimes.]
[Probably the real stuff Pok was involved in was a lot less flashy than the stuff Fantasy James Bond gets up to, but still, it's a fun dream, okay.]
[Awwwww~]
I see. That does sound very nice.
Allura,
Thank you so much for attending our wedding, and for being such a delightful friend these past few years. Knowing you is an honor, and we cannot wait for our continued adventures together.
-Angel and Armin Arlert
[Also included is a little Polaroid picture of Angel and Armin laying in the snow, clearly having just made a pair of snow angels. Their cheeks are flushed from the cold, and their breath is obvious in the camera! Both of them are grinning hard enough for their eyes to crinkle!! How cute!]
