[Well, he wasn't paying attention until Fio called him out. Natsuno stares at the yellow... creature... thing.

It sure is a pika-pi, Pikachu. Is their names all they can say? Talk about annoying.]

I see that. Is Pikachu your favorite? I thought you wanted to see "Charizard."

[sabigoe]

My favorite? Um... I don't know... but I like Pikachu! Pikachu's really cute!

[ Well, now she does. She doesn't know if she has a favorite... yet. But all of them so far seem so cute. It's the first that she's ever seen any of the creatures animated and moving. She liked looking at Pratt's colorful drawings, but it's even better seeing everything talk and move!

Then there's a roar coming from the audio. Oh, it's Charizard. ]

Charizard! That one's Charizard!

[neverleave]

[Natsuno's current favorite is the cat creature. For start, it can say more than its own dumb name, and he just want to nap in peace without being disturbed by noisy idiots. Natsuno can relate.]

It sure looks like a big lizard.

[Well, dragon, but something that just got its head stuck in a pipe doesn't deserve a cool title like "dragon."]

You don't have these in your reality, right? Who told you about "pokemom?"

[sabigoe]

[ Fio's gaze is back towards the screen, unable to tear her eyes away, laughing in delight at the silly dragon onscreen. For a moment, she almost forgets to answer him. ]

Hm? [ She looks back at Natsuno in confusion. Oh, he was asking a question. Shaking her head. Her reality isn't nearly as bright and colorful as this. Or fun, happy... ] No... it's not as fun where I'm from. Pratt told me about them! He said the Captain has Pokémon cards...

[neverleave]

[He meant to ask if her reality doesn't have cartoons, but she made it depressing. Poor girl, taken from who knows what horrors to this insane ship.]

Oh. Pratt and I are from similar realities, but he's years ahead of me. Guess Pokémon is after my time. [Pause.] You're not gonna try playing cards with the captain, right.

[sabigoe]

[ Her shoulders tense up instantly, then she shakes her head aggressively. She's still very, very afraid of the Captain. She imagines he would turn a game of Pokémon cards easily into a death game. ]

No, I... I don't think I should.

[neverleave]

[He nods. It's good to hear her confirm it, except now he feels bad for ruining her mood.]

You definitely shouldn't. [...] Sorry, we can stop talking about the captain. Do you want to watch the other movie? It's longer.

[sabigoe]

[ ...An obedient nod, as she gives her plush bear a tight squeeze. With that, she doesn't mention another word about the Captain. Another movie could be fun. It's still a new experience for her, after all. And it's a nice distraction from the ship's concerning lack of repairs. ]

...Uh-huh. I'm not tired yet. And I wanna watch more...
