Yeah, he'd taken the ticket in.

(Because he was bored, he told himself.)

The annoying (adorable) animal they'd shoved at him (placed gently into his hands) trotted along at the priest's heels, ignoring every attempt he made to shoo it away. Look, he'd sated his curiosity; he wasn't bored now. It could fuck off already!

(Before it got hurt.)

Sanzo paused on the sidewalk to rummage in his sleeves for a cigarette, nudging the vulpix away from his feet with one boot. Why wouldn't it run off and leave him alone? Instead, it sat down on the sidewalk and fixed its big, dark eyes up at him and whined.

"What's wrong with you? Get lost!"

Sanzo...

[Guess who got bored and went to see what the ticket thing was about, it's her. Of course it's her.

But she, uh, might have also ended up with a second without meaning to. So that's fun. And why she's currently sitting on the floor of the apartment her and her brother share with an alola sandshrew asleep in her lap and a stufful just sitting not far away but otherwise remaining out of arm's length. Fun, that.]

So... this is new. Guess those tickets ended up being something actually interesting and not out to ruin everyone's lives, huh? Not quite sure what these creatures are exactly, but the one over there-[She's moving the camera to the stufful who is just raising a paw in a half-hearted weird wave of sorts before the camera is back on herself.] just sort of decided to follow me home instead.

I think the one in my lap has something to do with ice as it's slightly cold to the touch, but I'm not a great gauge for what is and isn't cold. [This was the woman that was out in a blizzard like it was nothing, after all.]

[So there's a bit of a ruckus coming from Lucky's apartment once he got home from turning that ticket in. Caesar is on the coffee table growling at something off screen while Lucky's trying to calm him down.]

Caesar please, calm down, you don't have to be jealous...

[Lucky turns the camera around to show a little fox-like creature sitting on one of the dining room chairs before turning it back to himself.]

Well I didn't think this was going to happen....oops?

[Some people will recognize this voice. And she sounds irritated.]

If anyone happens to find a blue police phone box, let me know.

...And if anyone finds a tall beanpole in a pinstripe suit, tell him Donna's looking for him.

[And done. She's going to be making her way out of the bay for the time being.]

( This is somehow Harry's fault. )

Video

[The video shows a woman with short blond hair and bright baby blue eyes. She might be described as cute except that there is currently an annoyed scowl shadowing her features.]

Hello, I'm Detective Sergeant Karrin Murphy with the Chicago PD. [It might not mean as much here but her jobs means a lot to her.] I arrived a short while ago and I have two questions. The first is that I'm looking for a wizard by the name of Harry Dresden.

[The way she punctuates his last name is very pointed.]

I know he's here somewhere. [She doesn't know but she has a feeling and Karrin's learned to trust her gut instincts.]

The other question is about this ticket I woke up with. [Everything else had been explained in amazing detail but not this ticket.] What's it for?

Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.

[With that she hangs up.]

[This is technically Ahsoka's first video on the network, but those who have interacted with her before may recognize her voice as Ashla's. And those who know her... obviously know her. In her arms is Gulpin, who she's holding similarly to a certain Huttlet.]

So, these guys are cute. I think we can all agree on that, right? But I'm sure many of you have run into a very serious problem... Just what are you gonna name your new little friend? It's gotta be perfectly suited to them, maybe have nickname potential, who knows. 

And I'm here to let you know that you don't have to worry about that anymore! I'm officially offering my nickname services to everyone. I'd say I'm pretty good at this too, whether it's droids, people, or... you know.

[Suddenly, she remembers there's something else she should mention. She's put this off for a while because it's kinda awkward, so she's just gonna get it over with quickly]

Oh, and I'm Ahsoka. I may have sorta introduced myself as Ashla on here a while back, but that's not important right now! 

[Ahsoka shoves Gulpin up close to the camera]

I mean, look at this little guy! Clearly more important! And his name's Stinky, by the way!

 [video]  

Do you think they have names?

[Shi is at the shrine in Genessia, where his Pokemon are not very helpful. There is a Poliwag squirting water in a bucket, which Shi is reluctant to use to clean anything now, and two ghosts bobbing around: A Gastly and a Duskull.]

I don't want to insult them if they already have names, but I don't want them to be nameless either. They're being so nice and helpful, [crash goes that bucket as Gastly spooks poor Poliwag,] ahhhh, u-um... Oh no... uh, but I don't even know how to say 'thank you' to them... Um...

Does anyone know? 

[The camera is set up to show Garrus in his hardly-ever seen apartment, looking at his new Slowpoke sitting next to him, a glazed look on its face as it just stares ahead blankly, completely unaware of everything going on around him.

”Oh, he don’t look like much, but don’t let his name fool you. This here is one of the best we have to offer! You get a slowpoke, you’ll be the envy of the town.”]

Hey.

[He stares at for a full two minutes before the Slowpoke blinks slowly and turns his head one inch at a time to look at him.]

“Sloooooooooow.”

[He stares at it a moment longer before looking into the camera like he’s on The Office. He opens his mouth to say something before closing it and hanging his head. This is is life now.]

[The video comes on to show Setsuna sitting in an apartment looking to one side. She's clearly holding the communicator device as she keeps staring at the side before realizing the camera is on.]

Oh! It's on. W-well then. Um...For those who don't know, my name is Setsuna. I had taken part in the event during winter with the chaos in Fayren, trying to stop it. Though that's not what I'm here to talk about now.

[Shifting the camera, she's showing off an odd pokemon. More so considering the pokemon is upside-down on its back and wiggling its stubby legs in the air. At least it didn't seem to care that it's on its back.]

It appears you get what's called Pokemon from those tickets we got earlier? I admit I'm not familiar with these at all. Are they familiars? Magical creatures? What do I feed them? Do they enjoy eating couches?

[That last question follows a panning of the camera to the couch behind her, which looks like a steel trap tore out a chunk of the couch's armrest.]

[The camera is on, recording an... interesting... scene.

For once from this feed, it's a quiet one. Mordecai has turned it on, and gently set it down, to face...

A Meowth.

Of whom is just sitting there on the table, pleased as punch to be there.

Mordecai has taken a seat across from it, still within shot of the camera.... and just stares.

Just steeples his hands in front of his face.

And stares. Meowth doesn't really seem to notice, nor care, about its new owner, just comfortably curling up into a ball on the table and appearing to doze off as the almost expressionless cat just.... fucking stares.

At length, words]

... What do I do?

[Hear that. Hear the faint, growing horror? He had no idea what he was signing up for when he took that ticket down there.

Babies. Apparently.

He signed up for babies]
