[After about a week of trying to tinker on his own, Ruby finally gives up on his attempt at recreating something.]

Hey, does anyone out there know how to make things? Like somewhat complicated tech things. I can't find what I'm looking for in town and have no idea what I'm doing trying to make my own.

[You just used the most roundabout way for saying Catherine's name. Guess who's poking her head in within seconds.]

Yeeeees?

Ack!

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

Don't do that!

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

You called me!

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

I just asked people in general though!

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and I'm here.

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

I-But-Oh nevermind.

Think you can make something for me?

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

Does the Pope shit in the woods?

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

What does that even mean?

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

...good question!

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

Anyways, think you can help recreate one of these?

[He hands her a pokeball, empty of Coco at the moment.]

I can't find them in any of the stores, don't have any extra, and can't make them myself.

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

[She's already poking around it, pushing buttons, taking apart hinges- SNAP.]

Hmm. Not that sturdy.

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU'RE DESTROYING IT!!

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

It was just a hinge!

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

What if you can't fix it?!

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

It's plastic! There was nothing in there!

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

She was in there before I gave it to you!

[Ruby points towards Coco (http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/3/3a/Coco_Delcatty.png), who is sitting cutely next to him.]

Where is she supposed to go now?!

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

And how am I supposed to know how to make more if I don't take it apart? You want me to eye it at a distance and go "Yep, here's how you do it"?

Also, looks just fine where it is.

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

But it's not fair to keep just one of them out all the time! And the apartment is too small to keep all of them out!

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

[And now she's actually getting the screwdriver out to take it apart piece by piece. But now she's starting to sound a bit bitter.]

What's it matter if one gets kicked out? The rest aren't going to care.

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

What's it matter?! Of course the rest will care! You don't let the bonds we've made with each other break just like that!

Even more is that once I remembered them, I swore I would never leave them alone again!

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

It's. Right. THERE! Give me that crap about letting bonds break when it leaves, because right now it doesn't look like it ever needed the goddamn ball!

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

While it is easier to keep them in the pokeballs, it's not just about keeping her or the rest of them like that! The best way to heal them when they're hurt or sick is for them to stay in their balls!

[Coco crouches down, getting uneasy about all the yelling going on.]

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

Then that's something you should've brought up in the goddamn first place, because-

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

-what the fuck is that?

[She picks up one bit of electronics, holding it up to the light and turning it carefully between her fingertips, seemingly completely unaware of the fact that they were arguing.]

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

[Somehow he manages to stop himself from continuing the argument because that didn't sound too good. Talk about a mood whiplash.]

What? What is it? What's wrong?

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

Does this look familiar to you?

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

No, not really. Even if it did, I don't think I'd remember it right now.

1/2

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

So I've got something here that likely nobody recognizes.

2/2

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

Cool.

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

...You can do something about this and make another one, right? As well as putting this one back the way it was?

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

Make another one... tricky. This one part right here means I might have to remake it from scratch, and I won't lie to you, that might be insurmountable. Sure as hell isn't going to stop me, but I'm sure I'll get a few test versions out.

Putting this back together? I told you, all that snapped was plastic. I could put that back together in a few minutes.

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

Trying is better than nothing.

Oh good. Sorry for the freak out, but when it's literally impossible to find more I kinda panicked.

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

If you've got an example, I could analyze it and figure out how it's structured and how it works.

[Guess who just got his memory of analysis and reinforcement back?]

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

[Once again he hands over a pokeball. This time it was Popo's.]

Just be careful, I don't want to have it break and have this little guy without a safe place to go back to.


((Just to let you know, I don't want it to actually work. I'm setting stuff up for now, and working pokeballs would ruin that.))

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Don't worry. I'll have it back to you intact, I promise.

[[Understood. Shirou's better at fixing things he analyzes than making things based off them without using projection, anyway.]]

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

Ruby's still trying to kidnap Mokona~

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

It's not kidnapping, it's catching! That's a legitimate practice when it concerns Pokemon like you.

[manjuumagic.livejournal.com]

It's kidnapping~

Ruby is a kidnapper~

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

It's not kidnapping! Just ask any of my Pokemon!

[manjuumagic.livejournal.com]

Okay!

Mokona will ask~!
