WARNING: BEAVER CROSSING

[equality]

Hey, Island residents! Do you like Bidoof? A lot? Great! Because you're going to get to meet a WHOLE BUNCH of them today!

It's a stampede! An uncountable number of the normal types, as well as a few of their older dual type cousins, are very determined to get from one unknown part of the Island to another, and they don't really care about what's in their way.

Fortunately, there's plenty of roofs to climb up on, and surely there are enough bore- I mean, kind people out there who are willing to share their perch or rescue you if you get stuck. Plus, the beavers themselves aren't all that tough (for the most part), so fighting your way through is an option, too... Whatever you choose to do, this mess isn't going to end until tomorrow morning. Have fun!

[Terra can't help smiling a little. Considering giving her a ride is probably what would happen even if she'd said 'yes' to needing help...]

Of course.

[And a big claw reaches out to pluck you off of the Bidoof and set her on her tail. If you want to get higher up, you're probably going to have to climb; Groudons aren't all that flexible, sadly.]

[subwayklutz]

Yaay, thank you Miss Dinosaur! [ Bianca scrambles to get higher up, a mixture of throwing flailing limbs and slips as she tries to get up to Terra's head. ]

Oh. [ She lets go by accident and isn't fast enough to grab on again before sliding to the bottom. She sits there for a second, contemplating the fun-ness of the slide downwards. ]

[terra_et_sol]

You're welcome. But you can just call me Terra.

[She lifts up her tail a little so Bianca doesn't slide all the way off into the Bidoof herd again.] Are you all right back there?

Sorry for the late!

[subwayklutz]

[ Bianca grins when the tail is lifted and decides that yes, it is fun. ]

Okie dokie, Terra-saur! [ She scrambles up as high as she can and lets go, sliding down on her belly. ]

Very all rightie!

[terra_et_sol]

Good. Just be careful, we don't want you falling off. That could be dangerous.

[She has to admit, being used as a slide isn't that bad.]

[subwayklutz]

Bianca is always careful! [ She means, she always has someone to be careful for her. ]

Is Terrasaur a person-dinosaur or just a dinosaur dinosaur? [ She's met people-pokemon before and they're cool but kind of weird and Bianca wants to be sure. Manners? What's that? ]

[terra_et_sol]

[She's going to guess what that means and hope she's right.]

You know, some people would take offense to the idea that Pokémon who can't turn into humans aren't people. But yes, I can turn into one. I won't here, though, because then we'd both get run over.

[subwayklutz]

[ Suddenly confused. Bianca is clearly not the best at putting things into words. ]

So Terrasaur is a... people and a Pokemon? [ see! Bianca is totally learning. She can do that. ]

[terra_et_sol]

Something like that, yes.

[subwayklutz]

Cool! [ but right now Terrasaur is a slide so Bianca will continue to climb about. Can she reach get to the head? CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. ]

Are the brown monsters your friends?

[terra_et_sol]

[Terra would shrug if she didn't have a Bianca climbing all over her.]

What, these Bidoof? No more than anything else that lives on land. We just both happen to be here. Life is full of amazing coincidences, isn't it?

[subwayklutz]

Oh. They're really loud! And big-familied!

[terra_et_sol]

I guess they are. Though they're mostly loud because of how many there are of them. You know how a big room full of people is louder than one person?

[subwayklutz]

Ehh? Rooms can fit lots of people? Like.... ten-ten-ten-ten-tens? [ What is this witchcraft? Bianca thought there was like... a limit to how many people could fit in a room! Maybe ten? Can rooms even be that big? ]

[terra_et_sol]

[... Terra's not quite sure whether that's meant to be fifty or a hundred thousand.]

It would have to be quite a big room for that many, but yes. Even a few people in a small room is louder than one person all on their own. It's the same with Bidoof.

[subwayklutz]

[ She meant the bigger one, but Bianca isn't too good with counting on the spot. ]

Oh! Can one Bee-duff be really loud? Like people? Because people is saying that Bianca is too loud. [ Bianca isn't sure whether it's "person", "people", or whatever word that she's supposed to use. So she picks the one that she heard earlier. ]

[terra_et_sol]

Oh, sometimes. It depends on the one. Just like people.

[Terra is mostly just letting the grammar go at this point. She figures she probably gets enough people correcting her.]
