 Um... excuse me, everyone... I hate to be bothering you again, but... I need some advice. Again. 

You see, three of my Pokemon friends are at the point where they could evolve, but... I'm not sure if I should do it all at once. I know that sometimes that a Pokemon's personality can change when they evolve, and if all three of them turned against me at once, i couldn't handle that. So... would you mind helping me choose? ... I'm sure I can evolve the others later, when I've got a better handle on things... Anyway...

[She waves to someone off screen. Time for the intros! First is a Dusclops, who waves cheerfully.]

This is Crux... I've known him the longest, and he is the most loyal. He needs to be traded while holding a Reaper Cloth. And maybe his cursed talisman powers will grow too...

[Then, she scoops down to pick up a Murkrow, who snootily holds her beak up.]

This is Destiny... She likes to play pranks, but she's very nice when you get to know her. She needs a Dusk Stone. But what if her pranks get bigger when she does...?

[Murkrow huffs, and hops onto Noire's shoulder. So Noire bends down to pick up the last one, a Snowrunt.]

And lastly, this is Tarot. She's kind of snobbish and stubborn, but knows when enough is enough.She needs a Dawn Stone. But she's been demanding to evolve since we first met...

So... w-what do you think?

[ he smiles wryly at the antics in the background. ]

Well, Tarot certainly looks more than pleased with the idea. You - you said she's been asking for it since you first met?

[blood_and_thunder]

Yes, she did... because she wants to be tall.

[roadsprings]

Ah, I see. [ he ponders this for a moment. ] If she evolved, she'd be a... Froslass, correct?

[blood_and_thunder]

Mm-hmm... I hear they're very beautiful, too.

[roadsprings]

I must admit I've never caught sight of one, really, so I'll have to take your word for it. Is that something that would appeal to the two of you, do you think?

[blood_and_thunder]

Well, I love my Pokemon friends no matter what they look like...

[But Snowrunt keeps hopping up and down I WANNA BE PRETTY I WANNA BE PRETTY]

[roadsprings]

[ the hopping seems to make things more or less clear on the pokemon's side, at least! ]

Oh goodness no, I wasn't suggesting for a moment that you wouldn't! But Tarot there does seem like she's making her feelings on the matter quite clear.

[blood_and_thunder]

She's very...opinionated.

[roadsprings]

She certainly seems to be. [ there's a beat, and then he ventures: ] Pardon me for asking, but I was thinking back on what you said earlier, and - do you really think they would turn on you?

[blood_and_thunder]

W-well, I would hope not, but I've heard such awful stories!

[roadsprings]

Yes, well, I'm not saying that some of the stories weren't inspired by real occurences of a Pokémon's disposition shifting after evolution, but... well, I suppose that what I'm trying to say is, I don't think that their friendship with you could be something they'd so easily forget about, do you?

[blood_and_thunder]

... I... I hope not. I care about them all so much, they're my only family left.

[roadsprings]

Oh-- [ he flounders for a moment ] I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up anything--

[blood_and_thunder]

No, it's fine. I know you meant well.
