O-oh, this? [ casting a glance up at it. ] Came with it. Literally. It was next to me when I woke up, so I think it's just part of this Pokemon I turned into?

[ didn't seem like anyone else had stuff like that, though... ]

I've just... I dunno, felt an urge to lug it around everywhere?

[shotinhead]

Oh! Like Mimikyu! [ A beat. ] I dunno if you've seen the two of 'em - Ring and Shoka - but they're actually not those rags, they actually feel like they gotta keep 'em on. [ Toddle toddle. Slow walk. ] I don't think it's common, though. Like, I could take off this scarf, it's not normal for my species.

...Uh. But I won't. It's comfy. [ plus u know. u know why he likes wearing scarf :3 ]

[edgewater]

Might have seen 'em around the guild. Dunno, only spoken to a few people who aren't you. [ she shoots him a smile as she moves to follow. adjusting her aviators -- she needs to tighten the strap again. ]

'Sides, your scarf suits you. I think. People gotta wear clothes.

[shotinhead]

Yeah, but us Pokemon-- well, it's mostly us people from elsewhere who seem t'want to wear clothes. And it's hell gettin' something tailored that's th'size of a Dragonite. I've been tryin' to get a duster commissioned just right for me, and...

...God, I wish I had thumbs. [ He is still looking down at her. distracted from his rant. ]

[edgewater]

Well, I'd offer to help if I weren't totally useless at sewin'.

[ and supremely busy doing her initial checks for the spire... that'd take a while. ] You know how to sew, Mr Courier?

[shotinhead]

[ A lil snort. ] Of course I know how to sew. Gotta know that sorta stuff where I come from. Not like you'll find whole clothes that often.

[edgewater]

[ that's a normal thing to say. ] Right... losing your thumbs must've been pretty annoying, then. I can fix up holes in my socks, but that's about it. [ what kind of places didn't have whole clothes? parvati is definitely pulling a face as she follows along. ]

I managed to find these-- [ adjusting the goggles again. ] --thank the Law. Dunno if I'd've been able to work without 'em.

[shotinhead]

[ Thank the Law? He snorts a bit to himself. But he's learned to hold his tongue, a little. A tiny bit. ] I dunno. Pokemon eyes are probably more durable then human eyes. I mean, if you were human.

[edgewater]

I'm not sure how much you remember of our last conversation, but you've gotta be pretty human to do my job. Automechanicals can't due the finer work. [ she puffs out her chest a bit, eyebrow slightly raised at perrin's reaction. ] But still! Can't risk it. Even my crappy old job gave me eye protection.

[ also just. the presence of them. come on perrin you're wearing a comfort object too! ]

[shotinhead]

'course I remember that fucked up time. [ Oh, there's something there, under the mask. He's not saying more, because-- ] You say that, but there's some guys who've come here who weren't human. But, true.

Automechanicals, though? Those some sorta name for robots? [ he is trying to sound Normal. ]

[edgewater]

[ perrin you can't just say it like that now she's gonna be a bit worried. she's trying to keep it to herself, though. ] I had a... talking plant trying to convince me to fight Froslass. Didn't realise non-humans could have sapience.

[ especially not mean little talking flowers with a myriad of issues-- I MEAN WHO SAID THAT. ]

Yeah, robots. Self-mechanical. We use them for cleaning and stuff.

[shotinhead]

[ Now, he might comment on the talking plant, his Son Boy (?), but he suddenly seems excited. He's wiggling a little. ] Oh thank fuck. You know, there's so many people here from places without robots! Fucked up, right?

[edgewater]

Maybe a little? [ she doesn't seem too sure either way. ] SAM, our ship's automechanical, is a cleaning unit my Captain fit with. Acid hoses. So maybe it's good people don't have that.
