It's a fine spring morning when Ellie Pine, Junior Research Assistant, finishes the invention that will make her name. Eventually. Once she demonstrates it. And probably improves it a little, right now it requires psychic talent but-

Direct, two-way communication between humans and pokemon. It'll be a game-changer. She screws the cover plate shut and hooks it to the nylon strap.

She whistles. "Eevee! Here, girl!"

"Do you want to look at nouns, adjectives, or verbs more?"

Permalink

Hum. "I think nouns, first? But some adjectives might work..."

Permalink

"Mm... Blade, shank, sword, saber, razor, knife, katana...?"

Permalink

"Hm... I like blade and knife the best of those... One of those two, or something like them, maybe..."

Permalink

"We're getting to being about as specific as we can, following this thread."

Permalink

"Well, there's types of knives, right? But I don't mind Knife."

Permalink

"I can look up different knife designs if you want."

Permalink

"Sure. Can I look at them, too?"

Permalink

"Sure." Ellie runs the relevant search on her phone and sets it where Jolteon can see it too.

Permalink

Hm... Lots of these are really cool, but also lots of them are named some variant on 'knife' or something hard to spell... Stilettos and daggers look super cool, though. 

Permalink

Ellie likes stilettos. Thin and elegant.

Permalink

They are! It's a good name, too.

Permalink

Does she want to go for that, then?

Permalink

"Yes! Stiletto Ellievee!" She laughs a bit.

Permalink

"Stiletto Ellievee! Please make her feel welcome, everyone."

Permalink

Headbutt! "You two will have to agree on nameday cake designs now," Flicker teases.

Permalink

"I get first dibs, because I got my name first." Still, Garnet brushes against Stiletto, nuzzling her.

You know what tendrils are great for? Joining crowded group hugs

Permalink

"We can always do two cakes."

Permalink

"Best of both worlds."

Permalink

"And I'll have to get around to finishing that third collar."

Permalink

A very firm, serious nod from Intrepid.

Permalink

"Should start that now, actually..." She goes to fetch her tools.

Permalink

"Let me help!" Stiletto says, trotting after.

Permalink

Intrepid's tendrils are pretty handy, too - she claims Garnet's collar so she can be Ellie's other assistant, and so the two less technologically inclined Ellievees can wander off a bit.
