[The video that suddenly pops up shows part of a tree and a bit of grass at first. Then a large Spheal fills the picture.

A Spheal in smoky eye shadow and as much lips as Lust managed to draw on with liner and lipstick. He looks immensely pleased with himself, and greets the viewing audience at large with a long, low, happy sounding 'spheeeaaaaaal' as he shows off the fancy face paint his trainer has been kind enough to let him wear again.

It takes all of a handful of seconds before Lust realizes what Guttle's up to, and she rushes in to grab her gear. She image shifts and wobbles for a moment before Lust's own face is visible.]

Guttle, what are you doing? Is this on?

[Yes. Yes it is. Her gaze shifts off screen, to give Guttle an exasperated look.]

And broadcasting to everyone, I see. I hope you're happy with yourself.

[Back to the screen.]

Don't anyone encourage him.

I never had to try and attempt it myself. I was given what I needed and shown what to do with it.

[Her master had taken care of all of that, and Lust had never bothered to diverge from it.]

[envy_the_sinners]

You should have just demonstrated on Greed.

[Grumble grumble.]

That cat of yours is going to torment him for it.

He hasn't gotten any since the first time.

Why shouldn't he like it? It sets him apart.

[fourwayconnection]

And I regret nothing, you can't make me!

[a_sin_for_him]

I wasn't going to wake him up when I had Guttle right there. Who enjoyed the experience.

Oh, the little bitch doesn't care. He's been wearing makeup for days, Scar. You're the only person who seems to take issue with this.

You must have had a very experienced teacher, to determine what colors would suit you so easily... All the color and shape variations for Pokémon make attempting that in this world much more difficult.

[a_sin_for_him]

They really are as clever as any person.

[video]

[a_sin_for_him]

My teacher was very experienced in using cosmetics.

[Hundreds of years, dozens of aging bodies and of course that flesh rot that came upon her had likely made the woman some sort of expert. And of course, there had been another 'Lust', before her, and almost all homunculi had similar coloring. But Lust doesn't like thinking about that.]

I'd honestly never thought to try using makeup on one before I needed a model to demonstrate on.

[a_sin_for_him]

You don't have to deal with him!

[fourwayconnection]

It'll be good practice! Or, like- "Hey Guttle, I wanna try this new shade of eyshadow, now hold still", you can do that!

[pipers_son]

Mhm. That's why I like ta see what they can really do. Battlin' is all well and good, don't get me wrong, but there's a lot more opportunities for 'em when ya think about it!

I don't know how happy Teruko would be with me if I put makeup on her...

[That indignant grunt in the background probably means "no."]

I guess there are worse things for him to get into.

[She says that with a small laugh.]

voice

[envy_the_sinners]

I am not taking issue, I simply find it to be absurd.

...What did you just call her?

voice

[a_sin_for_him]

You certainly sound like you are.

I called her exactly what she is. It's a term of endearment, I mean it affectionately.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Your model certainly seems happy you chose him, though I have to wonder why you selected the... blue ball of fat. A more humanoid face would have made the demonstration easier.

[video]

[a_sin_for_him]

None of my Pokemon have anything near a human face. [Her other options were a prickly Glameow, a Jigglypuff, and a Sharpedo. Which wasn't really an option at all.]

And he possesses the most agreeable nature.

[a_sin_for_him]

When we get to town, I'm taking him makeup shopping.

voice

[envy_the_sinners]

You always assume that.

[Scar, that's because you always sound angry at everything.]

I hardly see why that would ever be endearing. She'll remain the same, if you treat her as such.

voice

[a_sin_for_him]

I wonder why?

I wouldn't expect you to understand. But she does, so you don't have to.

[a_sin_for_him]

I honestly don't battle as much as most trainers do. It seems a bit silly to me, to focus on that.

voice

[envy_the_sinners]

As do I.

[He can play the snippy game. Kind of.]

You don't expect me to understand anything.

[It would help if she made some sense once in a while.]

voice

[a_sin_for_him]

You always sound angry or upset.

We've already tried to discuss that in the context of affectionate relationships, words and jests that seem cruel and insulting can be endearing. You said to me that you don't understand, so I don't expect you to understand now.

voice

[envy_the_sinners]

Working on that...

[...Though he still sounds annoyed and tense.]

voice

[a_sin_for_him]

Try talking the same way you talk to your Pokemon.

voice

[envy_the_sinners]

There is a remark somewhere in here about calling you a 'little bitch.'

[Not something he would do.]
