39th treasure [audio]

[captainash]

Everyone, my team has a question and demands an answer. Think about it carefully.

[The team in question can be heard, yipping and meowing and squawking animatedly. But that all stops the moment Ash takes a deep breath and speaks again.]

...Which are better: dogs, cats, or birds?

[Crush grunts, peeking up at the camera, then back to the yarn ball, then back to the camera. Riku nudges the yarn closer with foot, and what does Crush do?

He zips into the corner.]

...If you think that's bad, you should see how he gets around sleeping bags.

[Because apparently sleeping bags eat people. Pokélogic at its finest.]

Hopefully your team's not as freaked out by random objects.

[captainash]

[...Well, that game ended suprisingly fast.]

Did he get a wing stuck in a zipper, or something like that? I mean, my team sees my sleeping bag all the time without freaking out. My mobile suit is another story, but since I can only have it twice a year at best it's not too much of a problem.

[islandshore]

Mobile suit... So, what? It has wheels?

[He's thinking of that in the most literal of terms. What is this even?]

And I'm pretty sure it's less about the zipper and more about the fact that they "eat" people.

[Translation: people go inside of them.]

[captainash]

Legs, actually. Seeing me control what they feel should be a Steel-type from the inside freaks them out.

[Or maybe it's the size and the weaponry. The very nasty weaponry.]

...He does know that you can escape unharmed at any time, right?

[islandshore]

Hmm... So like a robot suit or something?

[It sounds too technical to just be armor. Interesting, though. Shame he can't see it firsthand.

As for the sleeping bag, Riku throws up his hands and shrugs.]

Man, I hope so, but he's always been kinda skittish. I blame Draco.

[captainash]

Something like that. They're used for everything from construction to warfare, in my world.

[The word 'warfare' triggers some grumbling from the background crowd, but he ignores it.]

And what did Draco do? Sneak up behind a newly-hatched little Deino and startle him?

[islandshore]

Geez. And I take it those wars bring a lot of collateral, right?

[Giant robots kinda lend themselves to destruction, anyway, and it's not like cities go empty just for the sake of fighting.

Regarding Draco, though, he makes a sound like a moan crossed with a sigh.]

And it wasn't just a sneak attack; he'd jump out at him and keep coiling around him like a python.

[captainash]

Of course they do. Humans wouldn't bother warring if they couldn't destroy everything on their path along the way.

[Even those small scale fights against Zeheart had caused property damage in the millions, back in the day.]

...You know, I can see why that would leave an innocent kid overly jumpy. Did anyone try to help him?
