ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Neo-Flare Base, Lex's room

Pianis: Some hot chocolate would be nice. It's not poisoned, right?

Siren: ~You think he'd tell you if it was?~

Pianis: Point.

Lex's Quarters

Lex blinks.

Lex: You think it's odd that you wouldn't encounter me in the place where I work? I mean, especially since you broke into my room.

He looks around at his machines.

Lex: But I'm really thankful that you didn't break my machines. Hoo, that would be bad news if that happened...

Lex then turns to Pianis with a rather unamused, flat epression.

Lex: I just had the opportunity to fry all you to death on the spot and you're wondering if I would poison you now?

Brie: -with a chocolate mustache- I'm pretty sure it's safe.

(to Lex) Yeah, don't worry, we didn't touch anything.

Lex's Quarters

Pianis: Hey, you can never be too careful.

Lex's Quarters

Lex: I can't really blame you for that, I'm kinda skiddish and cautious myself but I have to be... I'm kinda... out of my usual environment here.

He turns to Brie with a smile.

Lex: Thanks, my upbringing instilled in me a desire to only use the very finest of anything available. Expensive, yes, but we were filthy rich anyway so it was never a problem.

Lex's Quarters

Brie: Well, uh, good for you. No wonder he's in with Flare.

-she examines the restraining goo- So, what's this stuff?

Lex's Quarters

Lex: A very versatile, gelatinous liquid made specifically for my Flask Robonoids. Fluid while in a liquid state, hard and incredibly durable in its dried solid state AND it freely switch between the two with the right electromagnetic frequencies. It can be used to repair things, conduct electricity, become tethers for the pulling heavy objects, restrain people... you can even breath in it if it's in it's liquid state. But prolonged exposure to that will damage you lungs.

Though I must admit, It wasn't my original idea.

Lex's Quarters

Brie: Oh, I like my lungs how they are.

Who came up with it?

Lex's Quarters

Lex: Oh, I got the idea for these little critters after watching an episode of a Stefan Galaxy. You know, the one where Zircon appears with her adorable little robots.

Lex chuckles as he affectionately tickles one of his little Robonoids.

Lex: Zircon is my favorite character, even if she is villainous~

He looks back up at Brie, Pianis and with a curious expression.

Lex: You're familiar with Stefan Galaxy, right?

Lex's Quarters

Pianis: No. Is it about a galaxy?

Lex's Room

Brie: Oh, I love Stefan Galaxy!

-she eyes Lex- ...You do kind of remind me of Zircon. You should grow your hair out.

Lex's Quarters

Lex has a deep inhale, it seems that fanboy mode has been activated.

Lex: Okay! So the premise of this show is that this half magical boy named Stefan lives in Beach Town with three Alien Rock mother figures named Spinel, Tanzanite and Coral and the series kinda flips between slice of life, coming of age stories, heavy action, monster of the week stuff and horrible nightmare inducing scenarios. Stefan himself is the kid of the leader of these magical space rocks named Rose Beryl (though mostly is just referred to as Rose) who had to give up her physical form to bring Stefan into the world and I tell you that Coral had a massive gay space rock crush on Rose like WHOA...

And he keeps going...

Lex: So the series starts off pretty relaxed with Stefan finding out more about Gem stuff and interacting with the fun and quirky extended human cast but then things really get serious around the "Ocean Gem" episode when Stefan gets a magic mirror that actually contains a Gem called Azurite who had been trapped in there for thousands of years and dragged the ocean into space because she couldn't fly back due to the fact her gem was cracked, but Stefan fixes that with his magic spit...

And going...

Lex: And then you find out all this other stuff like how Gems are parasitic creatures that kinda have to "reproduce" by injecting Gems into life filled planets where they incubate by sucking out the life in the Earth (Gee, I wonder where they got THAT idea) in places known as "Kindergartens" and that Tanzanite was one such Gem which she has a lot of baggage relating to that. Also Gem can phase together into "Fusions" by dancing with each other like Coral and Tanzanite form Gypsum while Spinel and Tanzanite form Scapolite and all together they form Tourmaline! Even Stefan fuses with his human best friend Bonnie! And THEN you find out that Spinel has been a fusion of two smaller gems called Sard and Apatite who are totally in love with each other and there is this really awesome song number about it and everything...

And gooooing...

Lex: And then there are the Homeworld Gems. Oh lordy the Homeworld Gems! Azurite who I mentioned earlier is among the Homeworld Gems, as is Zircon~ Azurite is the sort of woobie character who is a lot stronger than she appears and while she has a vendetta against the the Crystal Gems, she loves Stefan and would do anything to protect him (which I will get back to). There is also Tiger Eye who is the massive, militaristic commander type of lady who is sort of... everything-ist? She's like the most physically imposing and violent of all the gems but also the most reckless and sloppy in her fighting which allows the less strong but more controlled Spinel to kick the crap outta her (She really reminds me of the boss. Like a lot, it's kinda scary.). Like she calls Spinel cheap for being a fusion, and then forces Azurite into a fusing with her to form Green Onyx so she can artificially get the upper hand. Of course, this backfires painfully when the Azurite half dominates over her and drags her down to the bottom of the ocean in what is obviously a metaphor for an abusive relationship...

He ain't stopping.

Lex: And then there is Zircon. She's my favorite character of the lot~ She's this sort of deadpan technician type Gem who doesn't really like her job or working for Tiger Eye but does it anyway because, well, that's her job - regardless of how heinous or morally bankrupt the job in question is. She also hates it when people mess with her machines, in fact, she needed Tiger Eye as an escort to Earth because the Crystal Gems kept messing with her machines. While she's normally really stoic and robotic, she also has some of the silliest facial expressions out of any character. She also has really cute little robots~

Lex exhales deeply.

Lex: And that's why Stefan Galaxy is my favorite show of ever o3o.

-To Brie-

Lex: You really think so? I mean, I could consider it in the future...

Pianis: Okaaay... This guy gushes more than Fortis. That's an achievement.

Siren: ~Humans are weird.~

Lex's Quarters

Brie: Uh...yeah. That. Glad to hear you like it so much.

And sure. You could get hair spikes just like Zircon.

Lex's Quarters

Lex begins twiddling his fingers.

Lex: -With a slight blush- I know I get a bit mouthy when I talk about stuff I like, but Stefan Galaxy is such a gosh darn happy show. And I need a gosh darn happy show. It calms and all that ^_^

He blinks.

Lex: Oh, I best see if you lot would like to be somewhere more... comfortable?

Lex's Quarters

Pianis: That would be nice, yeah.

Lex's Quarters

Brie: Oh yeah, that would be really nice of you.

Lex's Quarters.

Lex: Well um...

Lex fiddles with the settings on his robot arm, which causes the yellow binds to turn back into a more liquid state, which slides down the torso and solidifies back into it's hardened state around the ankles like an old fashioned ball and chain, but with cute robots!

Lex: Can't exactly have you wandering the halls to get caughtby one of the grunts or, Arceus forbid, Maria. But I can take you to my lounge, and the Robonoids will follow me so umm...

Lex gestures a thumb.

Lex: This way?

He turns around and begins walking down the halls, his lil' bot buddies following him.

Lex's Quarters

Brie: Nailed it! Alright, then.

-she shuffles along behind Lex-

Mossdeep

-being a lazy teenager, Miguel has found himself a little nook away from everyone else where he can practice his scales-

Mossdeep, Near Miguel

A wild Nun approaches!

Mossdeep

-Miguel isn't terribly fazed by her-

Miguel: Hey, sister. What're you up to?

Mossdeep, Near Miguel

The Nun is actually Shia Labeouf!

SHIA SURPRISE!

Actually, the Nun smiles at him.

Sister Morphine: Good evening, young man.

Lex's Quarters

-Siren, due to her lack of legs, is instead shackled by her back fins-

Pianis: -is dragged along-

Cinnamon: -clings to Pianis' hat-

Mossdeep

-Miguel smiles back, in his small kinda way-

Miguel: Yeah, hi. Is there anything ya need?
