001 - First Love | Video

[aidolsenshi]

[Normally Minako wouldn't go out of her way to make a post over the network outwardly stating that she didn't know something. But sometimes you just have to bite back your pride and put yourself out there.

So here's Minako, a giant fluff of something sitting in the middle of her bow. It flaps its arms(?) a bit before floating up about six inches, then dropping down on her head again. From the state of her hair and how flat her bow is, it looks like it might have been doing this for a while.]

[And that's it. That's the video. Just a very tired, extremely clueless look on her face, and the strange fluffball dive-bombing her head constantly for a minute or so. Because wtf is this even.]

Really? [She had no idea. Normally she wouldn't be so snippy, but its been at it basically since she got it. And she's too "nice" to make it stop.

Bouncebouncebounce hello person! The Cottonee waves one of its "arms" at Michiru.]

[incousinswithyou]

[best way to deal with sarcasm? Go along with it.]

It's quite energetic, to be honest.

[...cute too. Cottonee gets a smile in greeting.]

[aidolsenshi]

It's been doing this. For two. Hours.

[Hers is a tortured look.]

[incousinswithyou]

That's quite an endurance its got.

[and she looks perfectly sincere.] Focused, too.

[aidolsenshi]

[Bounce. Bounce. Bounce. Double bounce!]

Cut it out, I'm trying to talk!

[It stops. But only so it can float up to the camera. Who're you talking to, Minako?

Have an extreme Cottonee close-up, Michiru.]

[incousinswithyou]

[well now]

Why, hello there.

[aidolsenshi]

Don't encourage him.

[...Are you talking to him, miss? Double blink.]

[incousinswithyou]

[by speaking to him?]

Are you two not speaking? [ignoring bad behaviors is one of the way she works, but Pokemon are generally intelligent enough to understand, right?]

[aidolsenshi]

[Yes you are encouraging him to do... something. Minako hasn't figured it out yet. But in some way that's making the problem worse.

Perfect logic.]

Kinda, I guess. I don't really understand a word he says, though. I don't speak Pokemon.

[And they are! But Mina-Mina thinks he's ugly--his arm ear things droop a bit--even though he thinks she's really pretty and cool and wants to hang around with her. He's even trying to help her try a new hairstyle!]

[incousinswithyou]

[elegantly raising an eyebrow. This is Michiru judging you and finding you wanting.]

That doesn't mean he doesn't understand.
