I've been thinking about the significance of our first pokémon. I find it hard to believe the species given to us are random.

[A brief pause. He's been bothered by this ever since his arrival, actually.]

The initial reaction on meeting your first is important, whether it was fear, familiarity, anger, amusement, or the more unlikely indifference. Then there is of course the more pressing question: why were we given these particular ones?

I'd appreciate your thoughts.

[He's investigating again. Action for anyone in Azalea - he'll most likely be hanging around the pokémon center, working there and all.]

Fuuko was so happy with her first pokemon! Fuuko got starfish, the best animal ever!

[tapestodiane]

You have an affinity with starfish?

Perhaps we are matched by our personalities, aru?

...I'm not sure as to he significance of it myself. However, the Pokemon I received reminds me heavily of a very good friend back home. And every day he continues to do so.

[ audio ]

[staryou.livejournal.com]

Yes!

[audio]

[tapestodiane]

Yours and that of your pokémon's or the general behaviour of its species?

[audio]

[tapestodiane]

That is interesting. Do you miss him?

[audio]

[papergrave.livejournal.com]

Terribly and constantly. I am also constantly worried about his well-being. He's prone to bad situations.

[ audio ]

[tapestodiane]

Is there a particular reason?

[ audio ]

[staryou.livejournal.com]

They're cute.

[audio]

[tapestodiane]

That must cause mixed feelings regarding the pokémon in question.

[Cecil keeps filing paperwork as he answers.]

I was not in a state to react much to Rosie, but the choice of a Cleffa for my first Pokémon does make some sense.

[ audio ]

[tapestodiane]

Okay. Thank you.

[audio]

[papergrave.livejournal.com]

At times, yes. I enjoy the reminder and adore him, but I would be lying if I said it didn't upset me. Especially because he is just as prone to wandering off recklessly as my friend is.

_{[Cooper looks up from his own paperwork to look at Cecil in the attentive way that is typical of him.]}

Why is that?

[staryou.livejournal.com]

Fuuko also received a whale for Christmas.

[audio]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

I would say ours and that of our pokemon's. Then again, perhaps it's not by similarities, but how they balance each other out, aru.

'Cause I've seen people and pokemon with completely different personalities that still get along rather well.

[ audio ]

[tapestodiane]

And do you like whales?

[paladinlost]

The handbook says that Cleffas and their evolutions have a link with the moon, shooting stars, and the night sky in general. The moons of my world were both very important, and meteors played a great role in our very recent history.

[ audio ]

[staryou.livejournal.com]

Fuuko likes them a bit less than sea-slugs, but they're still cute.

[audio]

[tapestodiane]

It's a possibility. Balance in any relationship is a needed foundation.

But as of now, I'm more concerned with the actual species of the pokémon.

[audio]

[tapestodiane]

_{[A brief moment of silence.]}

I hope you can come to peace with that.

[audio]

[papergrave.livejournal.com]

...Thank you. I hope so too.

[action]

[tapestodiane]

_{[He nods, looks at Cecil for a moment longer and then continues looking for that certain paper he needed in order to file a few others.]}

If it's a coincidence, it's an amazing one.

[tapestodiane]

So you're happy with the Christmas gift?
