[Lust looks less than pleased and bordering on frustrated. Behind her can be seen a slinky Glameow teasing a perplexed looking Spheal, rubbing affectionately against the rounder Pokemon and then swatting him at random. A Jigglypuff keeps attempting to push its way onscreen, in front of Lust. She pushes Chanteuse away every few moments, with less and less gentle delicacy each time.]

Does anywhere know where to find any intimidating looking Pokemon? I have a children's carnival act following me everywhere I go now.

[It's ridiculous.]

Not that I don't appreciate them all, of course. [Another firm to shove to keep her Jigglypuff from blocking her] But I'd like to have something a bit more imposing to throw out in battle.

Or imposing at all.

[Forget philosophy and musings on the nature of her existence for a moment, she just wants anything that doesn't look like a stuffed animal come to life.]

I need to start researching evolution and evolved forms, I suppose.

Could evolving them do that?

I honestly have no idea. I haven't asked about it and I haven't read anything to indicate that it's a possibility.

[It's just one of those identity issues he has in other words.]

What I have learned is that sometimes an evolved Pokemon won't listen to orders but I couldn't tell you what circumstances lead to that. I haven't asked.

[It's also possible that Archer has a Pokemon that is as big of an asshole as him and that's all there is to it. It's a mystery.]

Truthfully, I'm not sure what I'm going to do when some of what I have evolve because some of them get big and they're not going to fit in the room I'm staying in.

I hadn't thought of that, either. I'd hate to have to make any of them stay outside...

[Because the idea of keeping them in some sort of storage device doesn't sit well with her at all.]

Might be nice to have a house with a yard instead of a room at the inn, but I don't have that sort of money.

[It's probably not surprising at all that the man who was locked away for over a century also has issues with putting living creatures in storage.]

I've been here for a few months already and I still know next to nothing about these creatures.

I think I live with Envy.

[There's been so much running around and then the mad weekend, Lust isn't quite sure just where that is.]

I know about the ones I have. Well, two of them. I'm learning about Glameow now.

I don't have one of those.

I wonder if it's anything like Meowth.

[And just like that he realizes that both of those names are cat puns. He pulls a face but shrugs it off after a second.]

...this place is really bad with names.

[Says the guy named Greed.]

This one's a devious little thing. I suppose you'll have to bring yours to meet mine and see how they compare.

[Mmm, double entedres.]

I came to that conclusion when I realized I was in possession of something called a 'Jigglypuff'.

[That earns a flirty smile and some very obvious checking her out.]

We'll have to find out, won't we?

I'm not sure which is worse on my team. 'Hoothoot' or 'Geodude'. Both are pretty bad.

You seem to be holding up well here, by the way.

I think I might like that.

...Hoothoot? Maybe there's some sort of...cultural language confusion.

I'm settling in alright. Getting used to it.

She's an owl of some kind. I think someone heard one of them make a noise and the name stuck.

I'm not sure how long it'll take to truly get used to this, but I'm finding that it's hard to complain about. It's... actually nice here.

Oh, that she resembles an owl went without saying. Hoothoot. That does seem to be how it works, they're named after the sound they make most.

It is nice. And it's nice to finally have a chance to try some normal things. Things regular people with regular lives do.

Yeah. I actually rather enjoy it. I never thought it would happen to me.

[And cutting to private because what he's about to discuss he doesn't want snooping people to listen in on.

Sorry, Scar.]

Bye the way, I learned recently that your double was here some time ago. I'm not locking this to discuss her, though, so you don't have to worry about that.

It's more the fact that some of the people who knew her while she was here are still around.

I'd always hoped. It's not what I imagined, but...it's nice.

Unless there was another me running around, I think I know about this already. Envy warned me. But he meant the Lust from that other Amestris.

That's who I meant. The Lust from the other Amestris.

What I mean is that I was speaking to a person who had spoken to the other Lust enough times to tell me he was interested in speaking with you.

It's only fair warning to tell you about people seeking you out who you want nothing to do with.

Me? Why? I'm nothing like that woman, from everything I've been told of her.

...Who?

Archer.

[YOU SEE THE PROBLEM NOW?]

[Let's just ignore the implication that Greed is on good enough terms with Archer to actually be able to get this information from him.]

[SERIOUSLY? And things have been going so well...]

What does he want with me? And how do you know about all of this?

I think he was under the impression that you and her had things in common. That's all.

[Suspiciously ignoring that second question...

But he thinks better of it after a moment.]

I've spoken to him before.

[And by "before" he means "had tea with him on Saturday" so, uh.]

Where would he get any impressions about me?

I assumed that much.

I don't know. It was a pretty stupid thing to assume on his part. He's aware that you're here and evidently got along with the other Lust, at least well enough to talk fondly about her.

[Hell if he knows why because honestly the other Lust sounds creepy as hell.]

It seemed reasonable to give you some sort of warning in the event he approaches you on the network at some point.

Well now. How fondly?

[Greed's certainly given her something to think about. And she'd agree with his impression of the other Lust.]

I appreciate the warning. I need to give this some consideration.

[...Legitimate realization that he has no idea what Archer's sexuality is.]

I couldn't tell you, to be honest. I believe he certainly enjoyed speaking to her but he didn't exactly indicate that the two of them were very close.

[When in doubt, assume they didn't sleep together!]

He may have changed his mind after I told him that you're nothing like her but I don't know that for certain.

I suppose that's one thing she and I have in common. Stimulating conversation.

I'll be prepared, if he does. Thank you.

I prefer you over her, that much I can say right now without ever having met her.

[Because that other Lust was incapable of understanding him. He's not even sure that the other Greed was capable of understanding him. ]

...One of these days, we won't have such a negative conversation. That's a promise.

We're the same, you and I. The ones from that other world, they're different.

[She doesn't know all the details, but she knows homunculi in that other world aren't the same as in her own.]

Mmm. Promises, promises. I'll hold you to it, you know.
