[004 - Action]

[ember_celica]

[Yang is in a park in the business district, leaning against the wall of one of the towers. While she does, she's idly tossing a ball up into the air, doing some impromptu juggling. While she does, though, a baby Mankey is crawling around.]

Awright, Punchy!

[She cheers at him. He barely walks, before he stumbles over onto his face.]

You can do it! Learn to walk! Go go go! C'mon!

[And the Mankey... stumbles over. Again. Yang's grin turns sheepish.]

...'kay, so I guess cheering you isn't magically teaching you to walk well all the time. Good to know!

[ember_celica]

Whoa, it's the girl who lives in my hat.

[Except that was just once. And Yang isn't wearing a hat right now.]

Yeah, Punchy's real smart. He's totally got this.

[action]

[moemoetentacles]

Eventually he'll get tired of falling down. That's how it was with Drowny, except instead of falling down he got tired of drowning.

[action]

[ember_celica]

See? That's just common sense! Is that why you named him Drowny?

[Makes sense to Yang.]

[action]

[moemoetentacles]

Yeah, 'cause he was drowning when I met him.

[action]

[ember_celica]

That's a great naming scheme! I have trouble thinking of great names for them, you know? But you gotta name them, like, they'd want one.

[action]

[moemoetentacles]

Yeah! I also have Swimmy, Kissyface, Inky, Flappy, and Fatty.

And Snack Pack and Gary. I guess they don't really fit the theme.

[action]

[ember_celica]

Snack... Pack...?

[action]

[moemoetentacles]

Look, it's not my fault Basculin are delicious!

[action]

[ember_celica]

Ew! Ew ew ew!

[Yang blanches, holding both hands up.]

But they're all--all scaly! And crap!

[action]

[moemoetentacles]

Yeah, most fish are. So?

[action]

[ember_celica]

They just don't look tasty at all!

[action]

[moemoetentacles]

Of course a land dweller wouldn't know stuff like that.

[action]

[ember_celica]

Hey, it's not because I'm a land dweller! It's just a fact!

[action]

[moemoetentacles]

You've probably never even tried one.

[action]

[ember_celica]

No way! Because they're gross!

[action]

[moemoetentacles]

No they're not!

[action]

[ember_celica]

They are so gross! You don't know what you're talking about!

[action]

[moemoetentacles]

I do too! I'm from the water, why wouldn't I know what's good to eat?

[action]

[ember_celica]

That means your tastes are different than mine, though! I'm a creature of the land!

[action]

[moemoetentacles]

Well, nobody's perfect.
