[only a stupid loser that has no dignity left would play his 3DS in broad daylight

so, meanwhile, sitting alone on a bench in the plaza...]

[coming over and sitting down, sipping her milk tea. coincidentally, you're getting a streetpass. |<]

[stupidloser]

[... squints, while sounding totally nonchalant, okay:]

Hey.

[bighouses]

Oh, it's you.

[stupidloser]

[he's actually really excited, but trying to suppress his power level]

You don't have to keep acting like you just sat here on accident, you know.

[bighouses]

I didn't notice you until you spoke.

[stupidloser]

You've said that one before. You could come up with a new excuse every now and again.

[bighouses]

It's not an excuse, you just have no presence.

[stupidloser]

So you totally didn't come to ask for my help?

[bighouses]

What would I need help with?

[stupidloser]

Pokemon.

[bighouses]

I don't need your help!

[stupidloser]

[yep, can't help being a nerd]

But you're playing it, right? What level are you? What starter did you pick?

[bighouses]

I'll break out in acne if I answer those questions.

[at 7:30, on the dot]

[stupidloser]

[knocks on her door, hoping his hair or whatever doesn't look horrible (of course it doesn't, he's checked in a mirror at least five times). wait, why does he care, this isn't a... date... or anything like that...]

[bighouses]

[doesn't answer the door looking adorable or anything.]

[stupidloser]

[blinks, a bit taken aback, but recovers quickly]

—Hi.

[bighouses]

—Hello. You can come in.

[:T steps aside]

[stupidloser]

Thanks.

[steps in, trying not to be too creepy and stare at any one place for too long.]

[bighouses]

[has her consoles and her nice tv, cute things in pale blue ... and there's a little ancestor shrine set up in the corner of her room; otherwise it isn't all that weird.]

Sit.

[motioning to the bed :T]

[stupidloser]

[does so, but only close to the edge, and his posture is annoyingly straight. it's out of habit, and not because he's nervous or anything. because he's not.]

... It's nice.

[bighouses]

Of course. What did you expect?

[getting out her 3ds, of course. because. the point.]

[stupidloser]

[right. the point. it's easier to stare at a 3ds, anyway. takes his out without saying anything else.]

[bighouses]

[doesn't actually need help with anything. oh god.]

What are IVs?

[stupidloser]

[slightly caught off-guard since he just assumed she had already looked something like that up... again, recovers quickly.]

Oh—Individual values... they're just numbers, but they're a part of the calculation to determine a pokemon's starting stats. They're like genes, I guess. IVs can fluctuate so much that it causes mass differences in stats between pokemon of the same species. The formulas for determining the stats are actually—

[realizes he's getting way too nerdy, waves his hand and goes back to his 3ds]

—It's just a bunch of math. Anyway, the highest an IV can get for a certain stat is 31.

[bighouses]

Wow, for a minute you sounded really ...
