[Spinnymatsu doesn't really mind it, either, leaning into the touches and smushes of its face. In fact, it's own paws reach up to smush the swirls of Komasan's own face, giving a soft little coo in return.

Osomatsu can't help but smile fondly at watching the two play, a finger rubbing just under his nose as a little idle gesture. It's...cute. It's really cute, honestly. And even his trashy heart can't help but be warmed at how happy they look.

Spinnymatsu can't help but try and repeat Komasan, "Oh my swirls" just a bunch of 'Spin Spindaaaa!!"]

Well, today's a special mission! Word on the street is you can win Pokemon from this place if you're good at gambling!


[He loops an arm around Komasan's shoulders to show him the...sudden magazine he has, advertising the Game Corner, and more importantly, the prize of a Dratini.]

I'm going to win myself one of those! It's got beauty! Charisma! Excitement!


And best of all, COOL!

[monge]

[It's funny how Captain Squish Your Face is suddenly caught off guard by the sudden invasion of his personal space. Not the Spinda's, the Spinda is fine. It's when Osomatsu places his arm around him that he gives him a concerned glance.

And then one at his magazine.

And then one back at him.]

It looks like a giant worm, zura.

[Not that Komasan doesn't like worms, but he's never heard them described in such a manner before. Maybe this guy likes to collect bugs, too... Are worms even considered a bug? Do people collect them?

If Osomatsu doesn't pay attention -- and it's hard when you're staring at that beautiful super worm -- Murasaki does in fact slip behind him. Oh, he saw that face earlier, don't think he didn't, and he couldn't agree more. This isn't over. So with that in mind, just where did he put that money...]

You know a lotta people breed that Pokemon, you can just buy an egg, zura...

[titularity]

Bahhhh, you can't look at it like that! Look at those little things for ears! And the jewel on its forehead! And those eyes that basically go--

[He clasps his hands together, eyes becoming soft and cute.]

"Please...give me a hug...."

[Clearly this has got potential! Why would it be worth so much if it wasn't amazing?

Osomatsu might not notice Murasaki slipping up behind him to look for that cash, but Chuu-chan certainly does, the little Fletchling hopping opposite on his shoulder to stare at the giant balloon.

Black eyes suddenly curious.]


I'll have it by the end of the day, easy peasy.

[monge]

Monge...

[That does sound pretty cute. Maybe not Dunsparce cute, but close.]

Are...are you really that good at gambling, zura?!

[Komasan didn't trust the slots, or rather, he didn't trust himself with the slots. It was easier to just work his job and make money rather than risk it. But...if someone was really good at them...]

C-Could I watch, zura? Just for a little bit! I won't make a sound, zura.

[Do not trust this swirly faced demon. He will make all the sounds.

Also wow, little bird, Murasaki is totally afraid. Except not really. In fact, he has to keep himself from laughing, it's too ridiculous. What's it gonna do?! Be a...small...bird...? Wait, what can it do? Komasan never really did hook up with a bird Pokemon before, that was the niche Murasaki filled. Do they have their own special sort of...bird moves? A brave one, perhaps?

Oh who the hell cares, maybe it's dumb. Silently, like some kind of balloon phantom, Murasaki points past the tiny Fletchling as if to mime the "LOOK OVER THERE" routine.]

[titularity]

It depends on the day, you know? Sometimes good luck just follows you, sneaks up on you when you least expect it.

Me? I'm feeling luuuucky today!

[Truth be told, his results are mixed at best. But like he's really gonna talk about his losses in front of this guy he just met. Who does that? Not anyone smart, that's for sure.]

Heeeyyy~ Lucky for you, I don't get nervous with people watching, so it'll be good to have someone be my--how would he say it--[He puts on a deeper voice, one that sounds almost painful on some level. In fact, he might even be wearing sunglasses just for these three words:] partner in crime!

[Murasaki was quite the intimidating Pokemon, after all, it had shocked Osomatsu pretty good, and Chuu-chan wasn't dumb enough to ignore her own weaknesses.

But she is a sly fucker, glaring when that balloon attempts to distract her, Eyes only dart for a second to see if he really did have something to look at, glare intensifying before...

Pecking Osomatsu's head.


She doesn't need to attack you to foil your plan, butthead.]

OWW!!



CHUU-CHAN!! ARE YOU STUPID?

[Guess who's spinning his head around now to look at her, eyes narrowed and--seeing Murasaki there.]

[monge]

[Murasaki isn't sure what to do and just sort of...hovers there. On one hand, that was hilarious, on the other, he wants that god damn money. If there's one thing he's not though, it's scared. He doesn't care if Osomatsu can see him now, it's not important, the guy is clearly a grade A moron. All he has to do is continue pointing and the dummy will probably turn around.

That is, of course, until Komasan sees Osomatsu isn't looking at him anymore and rushes over towards his Drifblim, pushing him away lightly as he rests against his giant inflatable body.]

I-I'm not a criminal, zura!

[Yes, that was apparently important enough to interrupt whatever you guys were doing over here. Once again, Murasaki's eyelid starts to twitch.]

How could you say that, you don't even know me, z-zura!! My Ma would never speak to me again, zura!!

[titularity]

[What are you going to do with money Murasaki you don't have a shirt or shoes. You don't even have feet! She seems satisfied enough with that result, ignoring Osomatsu's little insult to her.

His ass can thank her later. Now he can lose that money at the slots like he was originally going to.


Osomatsu, though, turns around to look at Komasan as that little...confession? happens, rubbing the part on his head where Chuu-chan had pecked.]

Ow...that really hurt, Chuu-chan. You're supposed to use that on POKEMON, not me...Jeez...

[Oh, Komasan said something about not being a criminal, didn't he?]


Eh? What's with the suspicious attitude?

[He truly doesn't think Komasan is--the guy doesn't look like he could cut in line let alone steal something. But when has Osomatsu ever been direct?]

[monge]

[Suspicious... attitude?]

A-A-Ah...

[Komasan freezes, he doesn't understand what he's hearing. Is he really that suspicious? Did...did he look like a bad person? Doubt begins to flood his mind, maybe he does. What if all this time everyone thought he was a part of that "Team Rocket" he hears so much about?!

What does he do to clear his good name?!

What does he say?!]



M-MONGE?!

[I mean...I guess that works.

Yeah, no, Murasaki has no idea what to do either. He just gives Osomatsu an awkward look and shrugs. Don't make him explain Komasan, he barely understands him himself.]

[titularity]

[Osomatsu blinks at that, giving a prolonged...blank stare at Komasan as he tries to sort this out himself. In a way, it was the same sort of strangeness he saw from Jyushimatsu...not that it was a bad thing. If anything, at least Komasan didn't have the sheer superhuman abilities and strength Jyushimatsu had.

One upside. Many, many upsides.


Osomatsu bursts into laughter, though, arm slinging around him once more as he goes to make his way into the game corner.]


Well lose that look in there, okay? We've got to keep our cool when we win!


[Whatever just happened, it clearly doesn't worry Osomatsu in the least. Chuu-chan 'sighs', shaking her head. Komasan may be weird, but Osomatsu isn't all that far behind.]
