makedouble | Rule #001 // audio // Conserve Energy Wherever Possible

[ The feed crackles, turning on with a scuffling noise. A faint clinking of what might be silverware can be heard, and after a pause, two voices. ]

Such a backwoods establishment...is your training progressing smoothly, Miss Kneesocks?

Indeed... More smoothly than I had expected, given the standard rate at which our colleagues in training have progressed.

My, how fortunate! Could you have been gifted with a more talented Pokémon? Or do the others’ issues lie elsewhere, I wonder...

You may be onto something, dear sister... Perhaps the discrepancy is caused not by an excess of ability in our Pokémon, but a lack of ability on the part of our peers’...

[ The higher-pitched voice gasps in apparent concern. ]

A tragic case of neglect, isn’t it? Such sophomoric boors shouldn’t be trusted with hermit crabs, let alone caring for intelligent beings. Doesn’t anyone here practice proper discipline? Are there no rrrrrules to training at all?

Well said, well said!-... Ah, dear sister, it seems we’ve left the recording on.

Goodness, what a dreadful mistake.....

[ A moment’s pause. ]

...the battery might run low!

[ And with a click, the feed ends.]

[[ ooc: green is Scanty and blue is Kneesocks. If you have a preference for who responds please let us know, otherwise replies may come from both or either! ]]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

I don't think you have to worry too much about the battery.

Oh? Did you hear something, Miss Kneesocks?

Perhaps it was just the wind, dear sister.

Ah, but of course! It did sound like hot air, after all.

[ Insert obnoxious chuckling in tandem here. ]

If you don't want to talk to anyone, you could just say so.

[ Mildly said, since she doesn't really care, but aren't they being a little bit elaborate about it? ]

It's already putting words in our mouths? How indecorous.

How boorish. It seems we've found ourselves in an alarmingly uncivilized place.

It was more an inference from how you responded! But if you want to be decorous, my name is Aradia Megido.

You're new? Do you have any questions?

Hah! Who needs rules when you're trying to build an army?

[Bowser grins and belts out a big ol' baddy guffaw. Don't mind those pointy teeth of his.]

All's fair in a fight, if ya ask me.

Excuse me? Excuse me-

[Now you've done it. There's some scrabbling, then the feed cuts off for a short moment.]

[Only to return a moment later.]

While it is understandable that a barbarian such as yourself would not have realized this, but the only way to maintain a functional army that could possibly achieve glorious victories is through the implementation of proper rrrrules!

[Kneesocks's speech continues to grow more impassioned.]
The key to success lies in proper discipline and rrrestrictions!

[Beside her, her rare and exotic.... Zubat flutters into place to pose dramatically to help emphasize each of her points.]

Extensive training!

Military precision!

Standardized rrrequirements and expectations!

A civilized culture of rrrrregulated behavior!

[As Kneesocks continues, she has begun to blush furiously.]
That is where true success comes from! Not a need for lawless chaos in the name of some flawed concept like fairness! Only through RRRRRRRRULES can any form of accomplishment occur!

That is the truth of the world!

[Satisfied, she takes a moment to calm herself and let her blush fades. She adjusts hr glasses coolly, then pointed looks up into the camera.]

If you ask me.

Marvelously put, Miss Kneesocks!

... Miss... Kneesocks...?

That just reminds me of another girl named after that kind of legwear...

Rules? Treat 'em well and you'll so~on have the best of allies.

"Megido"? A remarkably palatable name. How novel!

Well, a proper introduction merits one in return - even from an otherwise dim-witted source. Allow me: Scanty, of the Demon Sisters. From you, no-battery girl, "Miss Scanty" will suffice.

And her sister, Kneesocks.

...While I commend your intentions on giving advice, I have to wonder about your credentials. How can we be sure that you are qualified to give aide?

I do not find it all that peculiar that you could have met somebody by a name similar to my own.

[~~This canon, man.~~]

Even so, I do hope that she didn't disparage that name in any way.

It's nice to meet you, Miss Scanty, Miss Kneesocks. So you weren't human to start with either?

[ That's interesting, anyway. ] I've been here for about two months, so it's really more an offer to answer any of the questions you might have to start with. I know I had quite a few on my own arrival.

If anything, I would say Stocking-san was more in despair over her lack of sweets until I sent her some.

To "treat them well" would clearly involve giving them structure and proper discipline. I had assumed that much would be obvious.

Don't fault yourself, Miss Kneesocks. Your presumption was perfectly logical; it's reality that's let us down.

What's more, to offer such pablum as a "rule".....Truly a disappointment!

Edited (needed more snob, sorry) 2013-01-11 04:08 (UTC)

Stocking? Oh, please. As if such a name could ever compare to-

[Wait.

...

...

...

There are the sounds of a spit take and the clattering of silverware.]

STOCKING?!

Ah! So you know her? That's really one impressive coincidence that two people with such similarly odd names are from the same place!
