Brave New World

Success!

[Yuui is standing in the middle of a very chaotic kitchen, grinning triumphantly with his hair in complete disarray and pretty much looking like the chef version of the mad scientist after an extremely explosive experiment. Interestingly enough with all the mess around him the only part of it that seems to have ended up on Yuui himself, with the exception of his apron, are some streaks of flour on his cheeks and hair.]

Everyone. As some of you may know Mr Sunshine here- [The feed shifts for a moment to show a Houndoom who is clearly not impressed with Yuui's antics .] -is one of my brother's special pokémon friends. In fact, he was one of the first one he bounded with and we all love him dearly. What we're less fond about it being woken up by his rather toxic breath in the mornings. But today I, after a... few failed attempts, have figured out a solution. Well, sort of a solution. Anyway, what I have figured out is a special dish containing certain ingredients which work with the toxins in his stomach to create a slightly less awful smell, while still being delicious. I mean, it's not lilies and roses but it's still a definite improvement. There are no ill affects, and he can still breath fire but I can't say for certain that it's of the exact same quality as before, but I'm going to have my brother find that out for me later.

[Breathe!]

I'm not sure if anyone else have experienced a similar problem with their Houndoom friend but if you have I don't mind sharing the knowledge. It might need to be tweaked a little depending on your pokémon's tastes though. Mr Sunshine likes spicy things so at the moment it's tailored for that.

On the downside this means that I need a new project to keep myself occupied until I find I job I like. So if you happen to know of any pokémon with a similar-ish problem which might be solved by a more specialized diet, and don't mind some false starts, let me know? Or if you'd just like some food and/or recipes specialized for a certain pokémon's specific tastes and needs, I guess.

[Actually, thinking about it now...]

I'm not really sure if there's a proper market for these things but if enough people wants it I suppose I might be able to make some kind of business out of it? Huh.

Who: Fai and Yuui
When: Some days after Fai's been cut off.
Where: Their
What: Serious talks are to be had and Yuui might finally have grown some balls.
Warnings: Possible language?

[closed to Fai]

It's been a stressful day, actually it's been a pretty stressful week, and coming home from a particularly heated argument with his family all Yuui wants to do is curl up with something hot and sweet to drink, preferable with his twin and/or a good book for company and just relax. Unfortunately, coming in through the door and spotting Fai, this did not seem to be a possibility. Because Fai was moping. Again. Just like he's been doing on and off ever since Feliks had gone off to train on his own. So far Yuui's been mostly fine with it, if you disregard the small stab of jealousy he doesn't seem to be able to completely get rid of, but today with his already frayed nerves he finds that it gets to him more than usual.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself enough so that he won't do something stupid like snap at his brother he rests his back against the front door for a moment before properly entering the apartment. He manages a smile that is just the tiniest bit forced as he begins to prepare some hot chocolate for them both, if Fai is to busy sulking to want any Yuui can always use his portion for a refill.

"You're pining again." He keeps his voice as light as possible, careful to keep the tiredness and annoyance, most of which have nothing to do with Fai really, out of it as much as possible. "When does he return again, so that I can have my sunny, smiling brother back?"

The problem with abandoning everything to run into the wild without any experience whatsoever turned out to be, not the cold, or the lack of food, but the fact that Yuui is as good at being firm as Fai is at keeping his mouth shut. That is to say, not at all. And when you combine that with a very stubborn, and slightly aggressive Murkrow things are bound to get interesting.

"Hugin. Hugin, no. I know you like shiny things and all, but that's not really... nest... material." His voice turns strained as Hugin demonstrates that he happens to think that it makes for excellent nest material by sitting down on top of Yuui's head. He tugs sharply on a sparkly lock of hair before letting out a loud caw, causing Yuui to look incredulously at him. Or at least he attempt to. Funnily enough, it turns out it's a wee bit difficult to look at someone while they're clinging to your hair. "What do you mean you saw it first? It's my hair so I definitely think-" 

But Hugin is not interested in what Yuui thinks, this sparkly fluffy stuff is his and if it happens to be attached to his trainer then all the better. It's only logical to keep all the important stuff in one place after all. And he's sure that all of the other non-shiny people, some of whom are beginning to give them very funny looks, would agree with him. So there.
