Tobias! Tobiaaas! I've got somebody I want you to meet!
[Jimmy pulls the Gear forward so his head and shoulders will come into view, revealing a small Chatot perched on his right shoulder. The bird fluffs up his feathers, clacking his beak softly.]
Say hi, Paco!
[There's a little pause in which the bird tilts his head at the screen, stretching his wings out to either side before chirping cheerfully:]
Hi, Paco!~♪

Hi, Paco!~♪
[... Oh no, that's cute.]
Hey there. Did your new friend just hatch?
Hey there. Did your new friend just hatch?
Uh huh! Had his egg for a while, but he took his time hatching.
[He lifts a hand to gently scratch beneath Paco's chin with a finger, who eagerly tilts his head up in response to the scritches.]
I'm gonna try to teach him how to whistle for me!

... Do you have trouble whistling, Jimmy?
[It's hard not to grin at that. Poor Jimmy... but it's kind of funny.]
[It's hard not to grin at that. Poor Jimmy... but it's kind of funny.]
Yeaah...I can't whistle at all. S'cause of this, see?
[He grins, showing his teeth so Tobias will be able to see the obvious gap in his teeth.]

Have you tried whistling through the gap? I know a lot of people who could whistle through their teeth before they got braces, so maybe you can do something like that.
I've tried, but it just doesn't work! I can only whistle if the gap is plugged up by something.
I've seen people whistle using their fingers before, though...but I can't seem to get the hang of that, either. But it's okay! Paco here can just do all the whistling for me!

Huh. Oh well. But it's nice to meet you, Paco.
[There's a squawk, and Tobias shoves away something that's trying to get on screen.]
Down, Nacho.

Hi Paco, hi Paco!
Hah, hey, Nacho! How's he been doing lately?
Hah, hey, Nacho! How's he been doing lately?
He's been doing okay. He's been taking well to some extra training for our act. He's gotten good enough to start training some of the others, too.
Really? That's good to hear! I'll have to keep an eye out for new stuff in your act, next time we have a show, then. I hope you guys are ready for Halloween!
Yeah. Halloween's pretty fun, as long as it's quiet. Last October was... kind of not great.
Yeah, no kidding. I'm not too worried though. I mean, I'm not really sure if anything that could happen would top last year.
[But Jimmy is also overwhelmingly optimistic, so.]

Come on, don't say that. You'll jinx it.
[But he's smiling.]
[But he's smiling.]
Aw, it'll be fiiine, you'll see! And if something does happen, we'll prolly just be able to handle it no sweat anyways.
Probably. We have enough people that we can put our heads together.
-dnt got--oh! Hello? Hello, Tobias? You know about...birds...
[Oh. Oh. Is Henry having a similar problem?]
Yeah, I do. Let me guess, you got bitten or scratched by one of those weird Pokemon, and now you've woken up with wings and have no idea what to do with them?

Did you turn into a psychic-type? It's terrible! I can't hold anything. I've been eating off the floor for two days help me.
No, but I'm having the same thing. First of all, do any of your Pokemon have hands? They might be able to help. You've still got a mouth, so it should be okay... you might have to pick things up with your mouth for a bit. Or ask one of your housemates.
Do you know what sort of flying type you are? I'm a Wingull. Wingulls suck.

Envy is helping me but...I also wanted to know. Does it hurt to cut your feathers? I've heard of them clipping bird's wings but I don't know anything about birds.
[He may or may not have garden shears at the ready.]
[He may or may not have garden shears at the ready.]
It... depends which sorts of feathers you're talking about. Generally they're okay to cut, except for filoplumes. I can come over and help if you want, though.
I...I have no idea what those are. That would be good. I want these useless things gone. They make everything impossible.
They're - ... sure. Out of curiosity what... kind of Pokemon are you turning into? If you know, at least.
