009 Things Acquired - [text;]

[ossifragant]

You know, there's something to be said about this place.

I get here in April and things are strange as a newcomer. It takes some getting used to, but it's not all bad. Then there's May and that's when things get screwy. The weird hail during an otherwise sunny week, and then that weekend when everything went to hell with the crystals and people popping up who aren't normally here. I only wish I could remember more of it clearly.

Then, in June, it snowed that one day. Actually snowed! In the middle of summer! What the hell are the chances of that? It melted the next day naturally so whatever caused it fixed itself.

July gave us a hurricane with sharks flying through the air and then August was suspiciously normal when it comes to weather.

Now, here we are, three days into September, and we've already had dogs and cats falling from the sky like someone up there is taking a metaphor a little too literally.

I'm disappointed we didn't get snakes raining from the sky today. Or porcupines.

I've been here just about five months now and I must admit this place has its ways of keeping a person entertained.

I did! His name is Cole.

What did you name your cat?

[red_roses]

I'm just calling him Kitty. I think he likes that best.

[ossifragant]

That's a cute nickname!

This would be easier if we could figure out what they're called, wouldn't it? And their type. I don't think they're Water types or Fire types, because that would probably be obvious, but it's hard to tell.

[red_roses]

I wonder if it has to do with their ears. There were lots of posts about not opening them up, and big flashes of light!

[ossifragant]

Oh, that's a good point.

I didn't try messing with his ears after everyone else had such bad luck.

[red_roses]

Right, that has to be important!

[ossifragant]

Maybe they're Psychic types. That might explain the reactions. But I don't know much about them.

Do you, Ib?

[red_roses]

No, I don't know much either. But, I can tell what Kitty is feeling and what he's trying to talk about....

[ossifragant]

I can't do that, but I haven't been around Cole for very long.

I can tell how some of the others are feeling, though. I'm not sure if that's a specific type thing, however.

[red_roses]

Well, Pokemon are much smarter than regular animals. That probably makes it much easier.

[ossifragant]

That certainly helps, yeah.

They can understand us, and if we concentrate hard enough sometimes it's possible to tell what a Pokemon is trying to say.

[red_roses]

Right!

[ossifragant]

They're certainly interesting cats.

I wonder what they're actually called, anyway?

[red_roses]

I'm not sure. I wish the Pokedex could tell us.

[ossifragant]

I'm sure it will eventually. Someone has to know what these critters are. We'll find out eventually.

[red_roses]

I hope so!
