Video

[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.

[COMPLETELY ignoring that Guttle clearly loves it...]

What did you do to that poor thing?!

Exactly what he wanted me to do.

It's makeup, and he likes it.

He is a Pokémon.

[Yes, Scar, what is your point?]

And water's wet.

I'm not sure what you're implying.

[Neither is he!]

Why were you putting makeup on him in the first place?

I was showing someone else how to over the gear and Greed was asleep. I need someone to demonstrate on.

He likes it, he wants to wear it. It's not hurting him any.

You should have just demonstrated on Greed.

[Grumble grumble.]

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

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.

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

...What did you just call her?

You certainly sound like you are.

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

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.

I wonder why?

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

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.]

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.

Working on that...

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

Try talking the same way you talk to your Pokemon.

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

[Not something he would do.]

I said how you talk to yours.

Would you please stop implying that you think I'm a bitch?

I do not think you're a bitch, it was an attempt at... a light comment.

[HE WAS TRYING TO BE FUNNY, OKAY? What he doesn't realize that you can't be funny if you are literally an asshole all the rest of the time...]

I am not speaking to you like I do to my Pokémon, that would only be more degrading.

I appreciate the effort, but from you, it doesn't come across that way. That's what I meant about it only being alright in the context of affectionate relationships. Even you can't try and claim our relationship is anywhere near affectionate.

Don't you just talk to them like people? People you're fond of?

I don't know "how" I talk to them, I just do. They are significantly easier to speak to.

[They don't talk back!]

I'm not trying to claim anything.

[An added mumble.]

Then try 'just talking' to me.

There's nothing to be claimed in the first place.

What do you think I have been trying to do? Do you actually think I care about whether or not your made-up Pokémon is taking pictures of himself?

From your initial reaction? Yes. All you led with were chastises and reasons I shouldn't have done it.

This isn't 'just talking', Scar. From the start you've come across as hostile and aggressive.

Then I don't know how to just talk. You know how I am. I can't even get a small group of people to stay long enough to travel with me.
