You should! Anyone calling themselves "Master" is bad news.

[It's totally different if other people are calling you "Master" though!!]

[holysapling]

I think it's just the pirates. That do stuff like that. People don't call my father things like that and he rules the whole village.

The pirates are weird about stuff, though.

[scythegun]

Oh? What other things are they weird about?

[Please talk shit about pirates, this is hilarious.]

[holysapling]

They talk big. And they stole a lot of people from my village. So I gave them trouble right back and now they all do what I say.

Either they're weak or I'm scarier than their boss. Maybe both. I hope it's at least partway the second one.

[scythegun]

With what you're capable I have no doubts that they were intimidated by you.

...It's unfortunate that they kidnapped people from your village, though. I'm sorry to hear that.

[The words sound genuine enough, but there's no emotion coming over the crystal. Yeager likes Farina well enough to actually try, maybe, but but for now he's continuing to keep his feelings set to OFF.]

[holysapling]

[There's some anger coming through hers, but it's odd; it's a bit sharp but it's directionless, because she's not mad at Yeager at all and being mad about things that aren't here seems...strange to her. Kind of like she shouldn't. She doesn't know, and it dies down quickly enough.]

...I gave them trouble back, like I said. Pretty bad. A bunch of them died. Nearly killed a bunch more. It felt good.

[scythegun]

I'm sure it did.

[That sounds all too familiar. There's something there as well, heavy and oppressive for a moment before Yeager realizes and corrects it. It doesn't fade entirely, but it's dulled to something much more bearable.]

You're alone here, ja? There isn't anyone from your world?

[Listen, if there are pirates here he's totally got your back.]

[holysapling]

[...Oh. Well, that's...weird.]

...Haven't seen anyone else, no.

[scythegun]

Well, if any of those pirates show up I certainly wouldn't mind helping you take them out!

[please don't casually offer to murder people, yeager jfc]

[holysapling]

I'd like that.

[lbr a lot of this conversation has been casual discussion of murder]

They're pretty obvious. They don't shut up. Important ones are Persimmon and Chard.

[scythegun]

I'll be sure to keep those names in mind, then! What do they look like?

[holysapling]

Never seen Chard. Persimmon is...

[...Adorable, apparently. Enjoy the mental image.]

[scythegun]

[Oh my, how cute!!]

He certainly is interesting-looking. I won't forget that appearance!

[holysapling]

The ones that do whatever I tell them to are otters.

[...We have pirate otters, Yeager. Because of fucking course we do. Farina's entire goddamn universe is basically full of cute.]

[scythegun]

[WHY IS YOUR WORLD SO CUTE...]

They sound very interesting!

[Cute. He means cute.]

We don't have anything quite like that. We have humans, Kritya, and monsters.

[And Entelexeia, but we don't discuss those.]

[holysapling]

[...Um.]

I don't...actually know what humans and Kritya are. We don't have anything called that on Gren.

[She kind of figures Yeager and...a lot of other people are one or the other here? Because he's not like any of the monsters and he's okay with hunting them and stuff. But she wouldn't recognize humans by species name - Gold just refers to non-Pokémon as "people" and "people" is a really broad term because pretty much everyone is people - and the closest thing she's seen in person has been...well, one of her friends probably counts as one, and then there was that very pretty guy with the green hair that showed up shortly after she started setting the forest on fire, and it's not like she really asked anyone exactly what they are. So.]

[scythegun]

As far as I'm aware there aren't any Kritya here. It's possible they're only present in my world. Humans are like me and a good amount of the others here. Are there humans where you're from?

[...THINGS HE DIDN'T THINK TO ASK UNTIL JUST NOW...]

[holysapling]

[...Okay, good, that answers that.]

I've met a couple of humans. But it's just Felins and Salamanders on Gren. And monsters. The humans came in from somewhere else.

[scythegun]

[but why is there a place with cats and salamanders and monsters and nothing else???]

Ah, I see. That's interesting! We don't have anything like you where I'm from. Kritya are... very similar to humans.

[Here, have an image of this lady, because she's the first Krityan Yeager thinks of.]

[holysapling]

[......]

So is everyone just really pretty where you come from or what.

[scythegun]

Oh no, no! Of course not! There are plenty of people who aren't as blessed with good looks!

[Like, say... Barbos.]

...Though now that I'm thinking about it, we do have a surprising amount of pretty people.

[As much as he dislikes Cumore, he's actually pretty cute if you ignore his terrible outfit?? Even Alexei's good looking. And there's Yuri, who is just unfair...]

[holysapling]

...We have Gamelan, back in Tropica. She's pretty.

[Like so.]

[scythegun]

Ah, she is very pretty!

[...look at her clothes though, yikes.]

Is she a friend of yours?

[holysapling]

[Look, it could be worse. She could have shown you Abalon, who wears Hammer pants and nothing else.]

She's the fortune-teller. She predicts the future and stuff.

[...Helpful, Farina.]

[scythegun]

Have her predictions been accurate?

[You know, he wouldn't be surprised if fortune telling was an Actual Thing in other worlds.]
