[𝕯arƙ @darkronicle]

it's those goddamn eyes, they're so fucking intense

[#153 — sᴘʟᴀᴛᴛʏ! @VAINBUTCHER]

oh, do forgive me. that is not what I was implying.

my knowledge of breeders are that they are humans who will relentlessly breed two pals until they get the desired outcome, tossing away anything else undesirable.

[Ꭲꮖꭺꮑꭺ @CherishBallBBY]

Well we're called breeders because we practice Pokemon husbandry. Which is breeding Pokemon. It's kind of a stereotype that breeders are rather um... Promiscuous. Though.

I quite enjoy taking care of them~

[#153 — sᴘʟᴀᴛᴛʏ! @VAINBUTCHER]

there don't seem to be many around, which is what I was commenting on. like this is a lull in the day where everyone has other things to do.

[ℤ𝕒𝕝𝕚𝕒 (#𝟚𝟝𝟜) @Viridian_Leaf]

What's stopping you from spending time with everyone else that lives here?

[#153 — sᴘʟᴀᴛᴛʏ! @VAINBUTCHER]

pocket monsters? not poker men?

oh, is that so? breeder seems to be different to the definition I'm used to...

but, taking care of living beings is never a bad thing.

[Ꭲꮖꭺꮑꭺ @CherishBallBBY]

Card game men?

No, I train pocket monsters... Well not anymore. I'm a breeder now. So I raise, and take care of them instead of battle.

[#153 — sᴘʟᴀᴛᴛʏ! @VAINBUTCHER]

I prefer a more active lifestyle. it's nice when you can spend time amongst many people, in my opinion.

[ℤ𝕒𝕝𝕚𝕒 (#𝟚𝟝𝟜) @Viridian_Leaf]

I like relaxing by the lake when I have time, taking naps...

But I'm trying to occupy myself a little more lately.

[#153 — sᴘʟᴀᴛᴛʏ! @VAINBUTCHER]

company could be nice... you have a human's color...

are you one of those trainers? the ones who use card game men?

[Ꭲꮖꭺꮑꭺ @CherishBallBBY]

Does she need some company?

[#153 — sᴘʟᴀᴛᴛʏ! @VAINBUTCHER]

calmer, maybe... but nothing interesting is happening. how am I supposed to pass my time?

[ℤ𝕒𝕝𝕚𝕒 (#𝟚𝟝𝟜) @Viridian_Leaf]

The forest is simply calmer as the day goes on.

[#153 — sᴘʟᴀᴛᴛʏ! @VAINBUTCHER]

it is awfully quiet around here... and it's only the afternoon.

truly, how is anyone supposed to have any fun in a ghost town like this?

[#153 — sᴘʟᴀᴛᴛʏ! @VAINBUTCHER]

and how are you doing this morning?

[— # 𝟓𝟐𝟑 @irritatedbolts]

G’mornin’ to you too.

[#153 — sᴘʟᴀᴛᴛʏ! @VAINBUTCHER]

soft colored... I would say weak but mostly everything I've come across is weaker than I am.

the ones that squirm are the best, but they get disassembled all the same. (♡)

[♛𝐀𝐐𝐔𝐀 𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐈𝐀♛ @CLXCKWORKTAMER]

Whatchu mean by 'prey'...?

[#153 — sᴘʟᴀᴛᴛʏ! @VAINBUTCHER]

morning, morning!

[— # 𝟓𝟐𝟑 @irritatedbolts]

Good Mornin’.

[#153 — sᴘʟᴀᴛᴛʏ! @VAINBUTCHER]

well, any view of me is deadly. after all, you never know if you're considered prey. (♥️)

[♛𝐀𝐐𝐔𝐀 𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐈𝐀♛ @CLXCKWORKTAMER]

. . .

Deadly view from down here . . .

[#153 — sᴘʟᴀᴛᴛʏ! @VAINBUTCHER]

today's color... what will do for today, I wonder?

maybe, something like this? it entices the senses, but I just like showing off, really.

[#153 — sᴘʟᴀᴛᴛʏ! @VAINBUTCHER]

you treat people differently based on your affiliation with them, right?

I do so based on people's colors. not their visual colors, mind you. it's something only I can see.

for you, you seem like you can handle a jostle, but prefer cuddles and headpats.

[— # 𝟓𝟐𝟑 @irritatedbolts]

Care needed? What might dat mean?

( Now Z's interest is piqued . . )

[#153 — sᴘʟᴀᴛᴛʏ! @VAINBUTCHER]

please, be at ease. I have recognized my mistake in identifying you, and will be sure to treat you with the care needed.

[— # 𝟓𝟐𝟑 @irritatedbolts]

‘long as you don’t disassemble me, sure, we can be friends. Dat’d be nice.

[#153 — sᴘʟᴀᴛᴛʏ! @VAINBUTCHER]

( reading some work suitability skill books. she's not /just/ a brute, after all. )

[#153 — sᴘʟᴀᴛᴛʏ! @VAINBUTCHER]

mm... well, before I had poorly misjudged your color. however, I do believe that watching you will be interesting!

your unique color is one I have not seen in many years. I wish to... nm.. words cannot express it. can they?

I believe this desire is what is called 'friendship'?

[— # 𝟓𝟐𝟑 @irritatedbolts]

( She’s listening to that smart instinct. Rather than say something stupid, she crosses her arms and tries to keep her wits about her. )

What’s yer interest in me, exactly?

[#153 — sᴘʟᴀᴛᴛʏ! @VAINBUTCHER]

( hands lower back to her sides, and she straightens up. )

well, that wouldn't be peoductive. there's no need to go cutting your life short, you have so much left to light up in this world.

Z... how nice. the pleasure is all mine. please, call me Splatty.

[— # 𝟓𝟐𝟑 @irritatedbolts]

My name’s Z, and you do dat again an’ I’m wild chargin’ you into next frickin’ week.

( Every instinct tells her to slap this thing’s hand away. But the only smart instinct tells her to simply step back, which she does. )

[#153 — sᴘʟᴀᴛᴛʏ! @VAINBUTCHER]

( step step, fwoosh. in a blink, she's upon them, hands coming up to hold their face still. staring at them, but somehow seeming to look past them. )

mmm... this color... so beautiful. you're right, not prey. no, that's debasing. what is your name?

[— # 𝟓𝟐𝟑 @irritatedbolts]

I ain’t yer prey.

[#153 — sᴘʟᴀᴛᴛʏ! @VAINBUTCHER]

love? no... don't love prey.

are you prey? so many new colors recently, I can't discern as well as I used to....

[— # 𝟓𝟐𝟑 @irritatedbolts]

You ain’t touchin’ me if dat’s how you show love.

[#153 — sᴘʟᴀᴛᴛʏ! @VAINBUTCHER]

booo, sounds like someone wants on the shortlist for being disassembled.

morning, I suppose.

[❖ 𝑮𝑹𝑰𝑺𝑬𝑶 ₀₄₈₇ @vantaplatinum]

I will pass. Worshipping unknowns isn't an interest of mine . . .

Good morning to you nonetheless.
