Open Info Collection Post

[thaumewturge]

Who: Rhel + anyone who wants to help out
Where: Pokemon Center
When: August 8th
What: So Rhel wants to get all the information folks may have learned written down! Come help?

[Rhel can only hope that other people are of the same mind when it comes to gathering information. She doesn't know much about this place, she doubts other people know all that much about this place, and the more information they can get and make accessible the better.

So she asks Minato for help and tells the people she recognizes what the plan is and on the eighth of the month she settles down for a day-long info gathering fest.

She's quite pleased with the rather pretty journal and pencil she managed to find, too.]

OOC: Like it says in the explanation, Rhel wants to get all the information everyone's been gathering piecemeal and write it down! Feel free to threadjack if everyone's okay with it, I just play a nerd who'd do this sorta thing.

Are you the type to take an hour to order something on a menu?

[ Please say no and that you're just being super considerate and caring for your round bird. ]

[rateup]

Depends on the restaurant. [ waves hand ] But no, I'm serious about naming my Pokemon. I used to give 'em really cool names, actually. Wanna hear what I got in mind so far?

[ please say no to this one instead ]

[scension]

[They're getting sidetracked, but... if the naming of monsters is such a delicate matter, maybe some more examples would help him wrap his head around it.]

Sure, what've you got?

[regression]

[ Unlike Sagi: ]

No.

[ sorry yjh, but you did kinda ask for it. at least sagi's here to hear him out? bless his soul. so without further ado, itaru puffs out his chest a bit and: ]

Okay, so. You guys know Rowlet, right? Spoilers, but he's going to get a Ghost typing when he evolves further, so his name shall be Apollon - the Sniper that Lurks in the Darkness.

Meanwhile, Mudkip shall be named Mizunohame, the One who Controls the Tides, but maybe that's too feminine? It rolls nicely off the tongue, IMO.

[ ............. ]

So what's stopping you?

[ YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO NAME THEM??? ]

[rateup]

Nothing! Thought I'd get a second opinion before I finalize 'em. Naming Pokemon IRL just hit different this time.

[ the power he now holds...... ]

[scension]

IR...?

[100% interpreting this as some kind of obscure bureaucratic protocol, probably printed in a tiny handbook no one has ever read. The Pokemon-Naming International Regulatory... List? He's afraid to ask.

But an opinion, sure.]

For a name, those are... long. Any more than two words, you'd start tripping over them.

[regression]

He means "in real life."

[ He's got you, Sagi. The acronyms being spoken out loud again... ]

[scension]

... But it's the same length.

[The abyss just keeps gazing back unto him.]

[rateup]

[ waves hand, waves hand. IRL just slides off the tongue better, okay? ]

They are kinda long, but this time we aren't limited in textboxes anymore. I can just give 'em nicknames like Mizuno here.

[ even though he kiiiind of knows a mizuno back home?? completely unrelated. ]

Anyway, thanks for the feedback. You're also free to think up any name you want, kid. I'll even help.

[scension]

Maybe once we get some downtime.

[He didn't even think Itaru's name choices were bad, just trying slightly too hard. His poor Pokemon are not going to deserve this.]
