Seeking someone to watch 8 Eevee Evolutions and 1 Eevee for a night. Experience dealing with troublesome, energetic Pokemon preferred. Loving home is a must. Will pay.

...Robin you aren't seriously going to get one babysitter for all the Eevees, are you?

Re: video; locked from Cordy

[master_tactician]

I can't exactly split them up. That said I understand they can be a handful which is why I am willing to pay a premium. And if there are multiple people who can watch them together, so much the better.

[Martin sighs]

You may be better off putting them in the Habitat. They're at least trained to handle rowdy Pokémon.

Re: video; locked from Cordy

[master_tactician]

Oh, but I could never do that. The Eevees are like my children.

Re: video; locked from Cordy

[warriormouse]

Think of it as preschool.

[master_tactician]

I'm not sure I'm comfortable sending my children to preschool.

[That makes Martin chuckle]

Fair enough. Are you having a party for Cordelia or is this for just the two of you? If it's a date, I could babysit for a night.

[master_tactician]

Ah, one moment! I've someone on the other line!

[About ten minutes later Robin returns]

Sorry about that, had a few calls come through. It looks like my Eevee situation is taken care of, but if I might impose in a different direction...

We are currently caring for a young girl from Sanctuary by the name of Rin, she was sent to our care by her family to learn more and, I suspect, to remove her from a more dangerous area. I was going to have her stay with Cordelia's mother, but she unfortunately had to cancel last second. Would you perhaps be able to put her up for a night?

[warriormouse]

Of course. How old is she? Do I need to go and buy some things for a younger girl or...?

Re: video; locked from Cordy

[master_tactician]

She's 9. I will send her with some books to study which will hopefully keep her occupied for much of the night.

If they won't, Clink finally learned how to repair my radio so I will have that.

[master_tactician]

I don't expect you'll have too much trouble. And thank you, again, I do appreciate it.

[allergictoloveletters]

May I ask why you do not want to take them to the habitat for the evening?

[master_tactician]

You might think it a bit silly, but they are quite dear to me. I am loathe to take them to the Habitat if at all avoidable.

[allergictoloveletters]

That isn't silly at all, but is your implication that those who have their pokemon reside in the Habitat are not fond of them?

[master_tactician]

Not at all, I am bonded with several Pokemon who stay in the habitat. These, however, are not accustomed to that environment. I daresay they may be a bit spoiled.

[allergictoloveletters]

I see. I would suggest then, at least starting to introduce them to the Habitat, if only this should occur again.

That said, if you cannot find someone, I would be willing to help.

[master_tactician]

Honestly, I see no real reason to introduce them to the habitat. Finding a sitter on occasion is not so much trouble. Your offer is kind, but I have already found someone to watch them.

[allergictoloveletters]

As I said, it was in the off chance you could not find someone. Still, I am quite glad to hear they will be looked after! [Ami cannot, abide by pokemon negligence.]

[asshooole]

"Loving" isn't a word I'd use to describe myself but I've got a Sylveon and a lot of people seem to think that means it is. The hell do you need someone to watch nine Pokemon for one night for?

[master_tactician]

It is my wife's birthday, and they can be a bit of a handful. It would make celebrating troublesome.

[asshooole]

I'll have to double-check with Rei since it's her Shrine, but you can probably drop them off at Hikawa. There's three of us here, I think we can handle some rambunctious Eevee evolutions. Fluff might like the company anyhow.

[master_tactician]

I appreciate it, you have my thanks. I'll be sure to provide whatever food and accommodations you require in exchange.

[asshooole]

[He makes an affirmative grunting sound, and then realizes he's communicating by text and Robin can't hear that. Thanks and you're welcomes are such a strange, foreign concept for Ankh.]

Yeah. It'll probably be fine, just let me know if they have any favorite poffins or whatever in case I need to bribe them to behave.

[master_tactician]

Of course. I will give a full and detailed list and make sure they are on their best behavior.
