I think we all need something fun right now. Especially those who need to take their minds off the cold inside of them while waiting for a cure.

So it's time for...

HOT OR NOT.

You know the rules. Post a pic and then get opinion and go around giving opinions to others. Usually the scale is 1 - 10, with ten being the highest praise.

I'm sure it'd have fun with it- and hopefully not post them to the network after.

Looks like one of the others spotted it before I did, too.

[The frog-looking one.]

[hometown]

[ Reiner has to take another look at the picture. (The first time around, he was distracted by the incredibly handsome man.) But when he sees it, he types, ]

I think you're right. That's another Pokémon, right? What's it called?

[steadypulse]

[Could slowly spot one that looked like a round owl on the towel rack- the harder to spot one would be brown fluffball that looked like a weird cat-fox napping in the sink.

But that was a blue frog staring directly at the camera as it peered over his shoulder from where it was.]

Yeah- that's Froakie, decided to keep me some company apparently. Also belongs to my partner, but that one came from the vending machine rather than with him like the Rotom.

[hometown]

Oh, I ran across that machine. That's where my little buddy found me.

[ He attached a picture of his Turtwig basking in a sunny spot by a window. ]

Her name is Panzer. Cute, huh?

[steadypulse]

Honestly, yeah. Very cute. The little bird-like thing is the one I ended up getting- apparently he's called a Rowlet- his name's Howie. I've also got

[There were two pictures, the first was a better one of Rowlet enjoying a bit of fruit from a bowl, and the second was a picture of Eevee, looking up at the phone and head tilted, sitting on a counter now.]

Flora, she's an Eevee- and was a gift I was given a few months ago.

[hometown]

[ Reiner smiles at the pictures, giving Panzer a scratch beneath her chin. ]

They're both really cute. Nice names, too.

[steadypulse]

Thanks, they seem to like them as well given they answer to them. Been getting used to taking care of Panzer?

[Was a good name, seemed fitting.]

[hometown]

Yeah, she's much easier to take care of than I thought she'd be. I'd never owned a pet or anything, so I wasn't sure what to expect. She likes to hang out there by the window. She eats sunlight like a plant does, so you could say that she spends the day snacking.

[steadypulse]

Rather good way of putting it, more so if he's enjoying the time there. Howie has a lot more energy during the day for similar reasons- he's a grass type, too; which is a little funny for something that looks so much like an owl.

I grew up on a farm, we had farm dogs and some barn cats, so I had a little idea. My partner has been helping to fill me in on things I wouldn't know, of course.

[hometown]

I would've expected Howie to prefer the night, too. Guess you can't judge a Pokémon by what they resemble.

I'm glad you've got your partner to help you out. It looks like you two have made a really nice home for them.

[steadypulse]

A lot of them do resemble familiar animals in some way- so yeah, you're pretty much rigt there.

Yeah. [He... did not expect any of this, honestly, but—] They seem to get along with the dogs, too. Looks like you're already doing good by Panzer yourself.

[hometown]

Yeah, Panzer is a sweetie. She likes people as long as they're giving her plenty of attention. She might like dogs for the same reason.

[steadypulse]

Probably wouldn't hurt to let her socialize with other animals- Flora and Howie both end up napping with the pups when all of them have been tuckered out.

[hometown]

That's not a bad idea. [ Then: ] Do you think she could come over for a playdate sometime?

[steadypulse]

Yeah, sure- Turo and I live over in Amberfall, house has a big yard and plenty of room inside, too. Can give you directions easy.

[hometown]

Thanks. I'd appreciate that. And I'm sure Panzer will, too.

[steadypulse]

[Those directions were sent privately—]

Just send a heads up, I cook so there could be food for us while they all get to know each other and play.

[hometown]

That sounds wonderful. Can I bring anything?

[steadypulse]

Anything in particular you like to give Panzer to eat- I have gotten into the habit of making the pokemon their own food, and if you want you can help since they'll work up an appetite without a doubt.

Turo's made comment it's probably why Flora and Howie are bonding with me so well, amongst other things.

[hometown]

All right. I'll bring her favorites, and I'll be happy to help.

[steadypulse]

Sounds like a set plan then, and the help will be taken with food prep.
