Day 289 - Who's that pokémon?

[scary_music]

Who: Ibuki, her chatot pokémon "Lita-chan", and you!
Open: Open
When: 289
Where: Everywhere in the Bastion
What: Ibuki's playing around with her pokémon
Format: Action brackets, though I'm cool with changing
Warnings: Ibuki

[Ibuki can be found chasing after a a certain pokémon, who's just flapping around and getting into all sorts of places and things]

Lita-chaaaaaaaaaan! Come baaaaaaaaaack!

"Nope nope nope! No booty! No booty!"

[And yes, the two will be taking a grand tour of the entirety of the Bastion, including building interiors]

[... and despite it looking like Ibuki's trying to get her chatot to return to her, she's being helpful and opening doors to places that would otherwise be inaccessible to the pokémon]

Comments

We'll see about that. Maybe we can use shards to make Lita-friendly cooking utensils.

[They'd done weirder things with them, so it wasn't entirely out of the question. That and Lita was actually wickedly smart, he probably could pick up on basic cooking if they could hold his attention on the subject for long enough.]

Until then, we'll just have to settle our little Lita-chan being famous. Just like Mom, right Lita-chan?

[scary_music]

"Mom! Mama Buki-chan!"

[Indeed, it was a smart thing, considering nobody had even used 'mama' around the chatot yet]

Hehe... mama, huh? Whoah!

"Kyaaaaaaaaaa~"

Oooh, oh, how about... how about papa? You know who papa is, Lita-chan?

"Papa Popo-chan!"

[windgod]

[He was really glad he had his hood up right now, because his face turned a bright kind of red, even if it got a proper laugh out of him.]

I guess we really are parents, huh? Now it's more legit than ever.

[scary_music]

Amazing, right? Isn't it, Lita-chan?

"Indubitably!"

[... yes, Ibuki took the effort to teach Lita-chan a word that she doesn't even use herself]

It'll be sooooooo cool when Lita-chan learns how to sing, huh?

"Iyan!"

[windgod]

[These two were going to kill him one day, he was sure of it. Mostly because of how hard it was to laugh and run at the same time...but at least his abs were getting a good workout?]

Definitely, until then Lita-chan can be the spokesperson for our band! Lita-chan, in your opinion, who is the absolute cutest person here on the Bastion!

[Is he holding his fist up to the Chatot like he has a microphone in it? That's a big 10-4 good buddy.]

[scary_music]

"Olin-chan!"

[Ibuki laughs at that]

Oho, does Lita-chan have a crush on Colin-sama-chan?

"Nope nope nope!"

[windgod]

Colin? Well, he's not at all a bad choice, though I'd rather leave that in the land of jokes.

[He couldn't imagine Colin dating his child, let alone a bird. That would be one heck of an awkward dinner if he could ever imagine one.]

Besides, Lita-chan doesn't get to date until they're at least 18.

[scary_music]

"Iyan!"

Oooh! Ippo-chan is the overprotective dad type already!

"Papa Popo-chan! No booty!"

[windgod]

Exactly, no booty.

[To that Ibuki, you get a small huff, teasing as it is, as he crosses his arms across his chest.]

Can you blame me? Lita-chan is my very first child!

[scary_music]

[Ibuki laughs]

Poor booty!

"Kyaaaa~!"

That means you have to practice your overprotective dad lines, Ippo-chan!

"Yesssss!"

[windgod]

Like what...get my child back here before 11 or else?

[He didn't have a whole lot in the frame of reference department to work with, sorry family.]

[scary_music]

W-whoah. That sounds more like a mafia dad type!

"Mafiaaaaa papa!"

[windgod]

R-really? I'm not that intimidating am I?

[Considering the fact that you routinely kill things with your bare hands, that's probably the wrong question to ask Ippo.]

[scary_music]

With the awesome power of your boxing, Ippo-chan, you totally can be!

"Boxing mafia papa!"

[windgod]

...all the better to protect my child with my dear?

[Gigantic question mark punctuated by a shrug??]

[scary_music]

Maybe you can teach Lita-chan boxing!

"Musical boxing mafia Lita-chan!"

[... Lita doesn't have hands the appendages for that, Ibuki]

[windgod]

Maybe...not boxing itself but...I can probably teach Lita-chan how to dodge really good!

[Because prioritizing his child's safety was number one in this situation.]

[scary_music]

Lita-chan will be the number one dodger!

"Mafia dodger! Kyaaaa~!"

[windgod]

Right! Let's all do our best, okay?

[scary_music]

"The bestest!"

Yesss!

"Yesss!"

We'll be the best like no one ever was!

[windgod]

Awwww, you two are already the best though.

[Since he can't hug you while running Ibuki he'll just put his arm around your shoulder and keep his pace even for you. Group hugs!]

[scary_music]

[Ibuki giggles a little, putting an arm around Ippo's waist in reply]

That's a cool response, Ippo-chan.

"Cooool."

[Lita-chan rubs his head against Ippo's]

[windgod]

I just do my best is all.

[There's that modesty, but despite it all and his red face...it's easy to see how happy this simple little interaction is making him. No seriousness, no awkwardness, no sadness...just happiness.

It was nice.]

[scary_music]

Eheh, and Ippo-chan has a nice expression on his face, too!

"Yup! Yup!"

[windgod]

Not nearly as nice as you two though.
