supersnipe | Day 004 | Ruins of Alph

[Grit is flopped down on the ground with his Hoppip, and new members Clefairy, Ralts, and Snivy, who are all sitting around him. He has a pair of bags. One that he's holding and one that's sitting beside him. A certain marine might recognize the bag as his own as he quickly shoots in and takes one of the cigars for lighting up. Don't mind it too much, he's just working with someone else so he can do this.

And yes, his poor little Hoppip is hiding away again. He pets it before going back to the gear.]

So, question that's been on my mind. I get that trainers are suppose to train, and breeders are suppose to breed. And while I'm thinkin' of doin' that second one, I'm not interested in it for a while. Is there any way I can jus'... collect 'em? Not all of 'em because that would be silly, and I ain't interested in doin' it obsessively...

But I'm kinda likin' having a whole buncha different creatures around. Is there really a name for that? And anyone else doin' that themselves?

I dunno, I'm jus' thinkin' outloud again. I do that a lot, it seems.

[And he's going to dig in Smoker's bag some more and take two more cigars for the road. Yes, he's clearly just doing this to be cheeky. Why else would he be so blatant about it?]

Uu-.. [ she's apparently thinking of it, that's a thinky sound. ]

Do you mean you just want to have a lot of Pokémon friends around?

I'm... not sure if that's exactly it. But that's somethin' along those lines.

Why is that not.. 'exactly it', uu-? So it's a little different after all?

Yeah. I mean, I want to do things with 'em that... ya probably wouldn't do with your friends. But I mostly just want to have them around.

Things that you can't do with friends? [ she puts a finger on her cheek, as if she's thinking about it. ]

But can't you do anything at all with friends? That's why they're friends!

Well, I wouldn't put my friends in little red and white balls or make 'em battle or breed 'em to make more of 'em.

Uu-, but maybe some of your friends would want that! Just like some Pokémon! [ maria, no.. ]

...So, is that what you want? Cause you seem enthusiastic about it. [no more evil thoughts or i'll cancel halloween!!!]

Maria? [ she actually seems to think about it.. ]

Uu-. Maria wouldn't like to battle. Would like to become friends with everyone instead.. but if there was a black witch hurting people, then Maria would battle her.

...Well that answers that question. Still, it might be different for every person.

I think that would fall under researcher, dude. No idea other than that but, sounds about right.

Hm... maybe. That's a new title tho'. Maybe someday I'll be a professor or somethin'.

I'd assume that's what's the next step up. Like there's gym leaders and shit after you get through trainers.

Pokemon Professor Grit... man I don't think I'd see many people come to my lab.

Aren't most professors not even in their labs? Usually get that sorry bro I'm way out in the middle of x to observe y. Gonna have to pedal your ass off to make it here before I move on.

Yeah, I'm one of those lazy professors who has their assistants do everythin' for 'em. You know how it is.

I's cool. Some profs did that too.

Just give some kids some Pokedexes and hope they don't hit themselves in the head.

And answer their pokecalls from time to time? I like your style.

I'm a voice mail kinda guy, actually.

Sounds like you're just made for this job man.

It don't seem too hard of a job to begin with anyways.

Yeah, it seems mostly a raise critters, go watch them, and drink something while you wait for anything interesting.

Drink, smoke, accidentally set some grass types on fire. It's a good life.

[Robin's in a different chamber of the Ruins, smears of dirt on her forehead and arms. She's having the time of her life playing archaeologist.

Sadly, she was right, and even the spacey natives were still smart enough to unearth everything historically significant. But people passing through tended to leave things behind, and it's these things she's willing to share: consider it a peace offering.]

Would any of your pokemon benefit from some stardust?

[And he will take such a nice peace offering.]

I'm tempted to say yes without knowin' what it is.

[Narrows his eyes at that. Whut r u doing to his cigars man? And should he even comment on it?]

Maybe it's just a collector. You might have to collect them in special balls or have them hold items to make it more official though.

[Think think think. To comment on the cigars or not to....] Swapping up to a better type of smokes? [He might sound a little cocky about that.]

[He's borrowing them for a play! Called Smoker's Smokes. fantastic got 5 stars in all the big newspapers.]

...That sounds kinda morbid. Like you're gettin' all these creatures for yer own joy?

[He spins them around in his finger.] Sure... if I can get 'em for free.

[Man why is everyone Smoker knows a thief?]

I guess so. Maybe there's something you could do to show them off or something? [A shrug, and his eyes narrow on the cigars, with a small snort.]

Define "free." [Oh he's gonna make you pay. He just hasn't decided with what yet.]
