Eighth Viking Charge [Video]

[Astrid is in Ecruteak, and she looks...puzzled. She's frowning at her gear absently as she starts to talk.]

Okay. So, I've learned to deal with a lot here, really. Riding on the back of a giant bird, eggs that hatch into dogs, animals that get 'knocked out' instead of killed.

Ghost masks that make you think you're other people and no I am never going to talk about that.

Ghosts in general. I caught a ghost! He looks like a furry floating dark thing that grins. Which is weird. It's all weird.

But I think...this sort of wins.

[She turns the camera away now, to where her Wailmer is sitting on the ground looking gigantic and very happy. He sort of wiggles at the camera in what might be an attempt at a tail wag.]

He hatched from an egg that I could hold in my hands. Egg to that. He's HUGE. [And back to Astrid.] The 'Ball Whale Pokemon.' Seriously? And the strangest thing? Someone mailed me the egg. Anonymously. Someone looked at this and thought 'I'm going to give this whale thing to the viking girl.'

[She just shakes her head.]

I think I'm gonna name him 'Ball.'

(There's an impressed whistle.)

Not a bad Pokemon to have. You think it's big now, wait until he evolves. It'll be fucking huge, man.

Video - Imogen is too close to her camera outta excite.

THAT'S SO COOL!

...But I can't see using it in many battles unless you're near an ocean.

"Ball" is kinda boring, isn't it?

[ That thing is really bizarre looking, and probably the biggest Pokemon she's seen. But Nepeta's first response is, helpfully: ]

Oh my gosh, he's so cute!

[He's got a goofy grin on his face as he replies. Because there were just so many things about this that were...interesting.

...Once he chooses to completely ignore all the stuff about ghosts, yep.]

I bet Helga's not seeming so silly anymore, is she?

[His 'Milk Cow Pokemon' was so much better than your 'Ball Whale Pokemon', Astrid.]

A pokemon that big came out of an egg that size?

And I thought this place couldn't get any weirder... [There's still more to come Misaki..]

Yes, it's strange is it not? Those were some of the things I could never get used to here, aru. [Gigantic Pokemon hatching out of eggs, he means.]

I'm still not entirely sure how all Pokemon can only lay eggs, but... I think that is one of the things we are not meant to know. [And thinking about it more, he believes he may not want to know anyway.]
