[After a disturbing bout of character assassination, he has a message for you too, missy!]

HEY, ROMANI, IT'S THE GREAT PAPYRUS. YOU DON'T, UM, THINK I MADE YOU WORK FOR ME, DO YOU...?

[A lo~ong pause. She was pretty out of it when she first arrived.]

No, don't think so. Romani offered to help, right?

[He's on tenterhooks through that horrible pause.]

YEAH, THAT'S HOW I REMEMBER IT!! AND IT WAS ALL ON VIDEO SO THERE'S PROOF, SOMETHING THIS MYSTERIO GUY SHOULD GET TO KNOW!!

BECAUSE I THINK HE THINKS THAT I DID, AND I THINK HE THINKS THAT BECAUSE OF SOMETHING YOU SAID.

WELL, THEN I'LL SET HIM STRAIGHT! THANKS FOR VERIFYING!!!

...YOU DO LIKE WORKING THERE FOR ME, RIGHT? IT'S NOT TOO MUCH???

BECAUSE, IF IT IS, I MIGHT HAVE A FRIEND THAT CAN HELP!

[Speaking of video, she turns the volume down just a bit.]

Romani doesn't remember what was said. May have been a misunderstanding?

It's fine working for you, Pappy. The weeding gloves are kind of big, though. That's all Romani can say.

[Yes, there's a reason for the nickname.]

Who's your friend?

[Just "fine"? Not "GREAT"? Well, it's only been a little while. There's room for improvement!]

OKAY! I'LL SEE ABOUT CHILD-GLOVES THEN.

WANNA SEE? I WARN YOU, HE HAS A SCARY FACE.

[After about three seconds, he considers her duly warned. He produces a pokeball, then with a pop and a flash of light, out comes a four-winged insect.]

SAY "HELLO" TO MASQUERRAIN! HE CAN HELP YOU WATER THE PLANTS!! AND HE HAS AN INTIMIDATING FACE, ACCORDING TO THE DEX, SO HE CAN SPOOK OFF ANY TROUBLEMAKERS!!

[It's just the eyespots on the wings. Otherwise, Papyrus thinks its true face is actually quite cute.]

[It wasn't the sudden appearance of Pokémon, but that flash of light. She goes into a state of panic as suppressed memories claw at the surface. Memories of what, exactly, is what causes a splitting headache. She looks away, taking a moment to calm down since the light wasn't close.]

What was that...? Where it did come from?

IT'S A POKEMON. THESE GUYS ARE EVERYWHERE!

[he assumed she already had some of her own, given how popular they were to catch. Looked like she wasn't interested.]

YOU, UH, PUT THEM IN THESE BALLS HERE FOR SAFEKEEPING AND EASY TRANSPORTATION. AND THEN THEY COME OUT LIKE THAT! AND HE'S JUST ONE OF MANY!

[Masquerrain's already flitting about for want of activity.]

[Sure that the light was gone, she can actually look at the Masqurrain. My, what big not!eyes you have. But no, she clearly doesn't have one.]

They're everywhere...? Romani hasn't seen one.

[Has this child stayed cooped up at the farm this whole time?]

REALLY??? ARE YOU A SHUT-IN??? BECAUSE IT'S IMPRESSIVE YOU CAN WORK AT THE FARM AT THE SAME TIME!!

[Everywhere outside, in his experience. They really haven't visited Blackstone?]

I GUESS IT'S GOOD YOU DIDN'T GET ANY VISITS FROM THEM. SOME OF THEM ARE PRETTY TOUGH!! MAYBE OUR VEGETABLES AREN'T TASTY ENOUGH...? OR MAYBE THEY JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU SPACE.

WELL, IF YOU WANT TO SEE THIS ONE, HE'S ALL YOURS AS RANCHER NUMBER TWO!!!

[She's always taken a shortcut to Oak Gardens, so she misses a great deal of things in between.]

If it doesn't mind helping, Romani won't mind either. It can help chase crows away.

WITH THOSE INTIMIDATING FALSE EYES, I BET IT WILL!!! I'LL LEAVE IT BEHIND ONCE I'M DONE WITH MY ROUTINE!

[I.e. forcing more things into indentured servitude. It's okay, they're pokemon. They have no rights.]

Romani will take good care of it.

[I.e make it feel like it has rights. And promptly take them away by giving it a cute nickname. Masquerain is rather hard to say.]

Maybe Romani will go out and look for these "Pokemon" as well.

[You have to rrrol the r's, RRRRomani]

THAT'S WHY YOU'RE MY #1 RANCHER!!

GOOD IDEA!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND A DIGLETT. I COULDN'T FIND ONE, BUT YOU MIGHT HAVE MORE LUCK!! THEY'RE REALLY GOOD AT TILLING THINGS.

Edited 2019-07-14 04:59 (UTC)

But Romani is your only rancher.

[Romani, no. Details are bad.]

What does a Diglett look like? Romani will keep an eye out for one.

LIKE THIS! OR THIS!!

ANY ROW IT DIGS THROUGH IS PERFECT FOR PLANTING!!! IT WOULD MAKE A GREAT RANCHER #3!!! YOU WON'T BE ONLY FOR MUCH LONGER!

[Oh my, that looks like a...]

It looks like a button with a face! Maybe even a worm?

Okay, Romani will find one for you.

IT'S A LIVING HOE!!!

THANKS ROMANI, YOU'RE THE GREATEST!!!
