Pokémon Going, Wednesday - First Period (1/17/2017)

[captainskullpoopl]

The the classroom today there was a poorly written 'Your Buddy' on the board. And there might have been a Pokémon drawn next to it. Or a dick.

Odds are on it being a dick.

"Today we're gonna make sure none of you pick some lame ass buddy to walk with," Deadpool said. "Because that lil' guy is going to be right next to the portrait of you. Or someone who looks like you if you were an anime character. Who wasn't green or an alien."

He was being inclusive here.

"Look closely at all the Pokémon you've caught so far. It's probably a ton of Pidgeys and Rattattas, but maybe you have something decent in there. But then, we're technically on the coast despite how much I feel like I'm in the Midwestern suburbs for some reason. Weird. But there might be more water type around in that case. Anyway, pick one and share with the class so we can judge you. As a group."

Just that easy! Wasn't it such a fun class?

"Cars," Peridot mused. "I think I've seen cars. I haven't been to an Earth city, yet, though. Not much deeper in than the very outskirts."

Peridot's understanding of Earth was still very much a work in progress.

"The cliffs also have the ones called Ponyta, there," she offered. "The quadrupedal creatures with the fire. I have one of those, as well."

But clearly it was inferior to the ones made of stone. Clearly.

"It's probably a lot like cities wherever you're from," Anders mused, giving the girl back her phone. "Big. Noisy. Sometimes sort of smelly."

A beat. "That is, if where you're from has cities."

"Sort of," Peridot replied, holding his phone back up to him as well. "Where I'm from has colonies. Worlds repurposed to suit the needs of my people. Very big, and sometimes noisy."

A pause.

"Not necessarily very smelly, though. Some of our colonies don't even have air."

"No air?" Anders said, finishing the phone trade. "So you don't need to breathe?"

Anders had figured out Peridot wasn't From Here, but not needing oxygen hadn't really occurred to him.

"Or eat, or sleep," Peridot confirmed, shrugging her shoulders. "A lot of what you humans do as part of your day-to-day existences still often confuses me."

Or outright disgusted her, but she had at least learned enough tact to not say that one outright to humans she hardly knew.

"So what do you do all night?" Anders wondered. "If sleep is out, and eating is too, and here's no one to talk to."

"Explore the island," Peridot replied, shrugging. "Build things, take apart earth tech to see what makes it work. Go to the library and read. That sort of thing."

She was going to just leave out the 'spend hours on end in front of the television watching Camp Pining Hearts reruns' part.
