Pokemon Daycare: AlcheME! & LiliS

[idolpro]

[ Your phone goes off, and an alert notifies you that it's TIME FOR GAME START. There's a map with GPS pointer showing your location as well as a static pin to guide you to where you need to go. You eventually find yourself inside the Pokemon Daycare. There's a main lobby area (which you find yourself standing in) a front counter, and then behind that a second inside area that's clearly meant for workers only. Here, there's a very large incubator with eggs inside it.

It's very obviously only recently been finished: the inside is an immaculate but bare white. Aside from yourselves, there's only one other person in the room as well as a strange, red, zippy thing that keeps going around the room. He dabs at his bald head. ]

"Oh, I'm so grateful you've come! Mizz 'Strael said you all would be just the right crew to help me get this place up 'n running. My name's Professor Plum. This is Rotom."

[ He gestures to the zippy machine, which makes a crackling, buzzy noise and does a twirl in the air that would probably pass for a chipper hello, if you spoke Pokemon. From another doorway, a large Pink pokemon walks in. ]

"Ah! And there's my other helper. Please say hello to Chansey!"

[ Chansey says its name and waves. ]

"I don't know if Mizz Strael told you or not, but--this incubator is a prototype for a new invention of mine. If we're successful today, we'll be able to reduce the time it takes to hatch Pokemon from days or even weeks to just a few short hours--it'll revolutionize the Pokemon world! But if I'm going to be successful, I'm going to need your help. If you don't mind, I'd like for us to go ahead and get started."

The only other ones who don't are the kid who doesn't wanna do a paper round, and the woman who's trying to destress by working with kids.

With Pokemon babies and she is a Pokemon Researcher.

Still, between the kid and her because getting rejected as a baby by a caretaker? That messes people up.

Well, yeah, but ancient pokemon and libraries... that's a long way from actually dealing with kids. It ain't - well, some people like it but it's not exactly a relaxing day off or anything.

[He's just kind staring at the profile.] I mean...when you're that kind of person, anything that isn't work can be a pretty relaxing thing....

I think.

Does he get to talk when he's been working since he was 7. ]

I think Artemis isn't a bad choice.

Whatever. I don't know shit about this stuff, I guess. I still think she's gonna burn out on it, kids are a lotta work, but...

[I mean, that is a good point. S is frowning a bit because that makes sense, it just also doesn't seem impossible...]

Miss Saffron is old too.

Maybe with her as guidance, Jasper would do okay...he DOES have energy.

Re: DISCUSSION

[inspiteful]

I guess he'd do okay as long as he's kept on task. Kinda like an apprenticeship.

Re: DISCUSSION

[inspiteful]

I don't think any of us do, to be fair. I just think that since she's interested in these creatures, she'd be pretty satisfied whether or not this is "work".
