 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?

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.
