Hey lickbag!

So I'm taking Manaka to those tropic islands, gonna grab some of those fancy Pokemon ya can't get anywhere else and spend a lot of time getting drunk on a beach. Want in on this?

[moneylogues]

[Island vacation with people he actually tolerates? Huh. Well. Not like he's doing much in Goldenrod he'll miss.]

Would anyone with any sense hear "getting drunk on a beach" and not be all for it? I think we both know the answer to that.

So hell yeah, count me in.

Video

[thedifferencebetween]

Obviously you're gonna say 'yes', why the hell wouldn't you? The coolest guy in the universe just invited you on a kick ass vacation! But I still gotta ask so you can say yes.

Figure we can nab some 'mons for business and for ourselves.

Video

[moneylogues]

Do you have a mug with that on it or something? It seems like you would.

[Sure, they probably don't make coolest guy in the universe mugs, but he seems like the type to just get it made.]

Sounds good. I need to expand my team anyway. Can't have too many badass monsters following my every order, right?

[thedifferencebetween]

Giant gold pimp cup. Had it made.

I gotta do more research on all the badass types. Or get someone to research'em for me... Getting together a pretty good team, though. I just inherited a couple killer guys. A uh...level sixty something Haxorus, they're pretty cool. And get this - Nidoking, leveled in the friggin 80s. Sucks the dude that had'em left, he was my merc, but he knew who'd appreciate'em most.

Me, obviously.

Hey, uh, that's your line of work, isn't it?

Happy New Years, Felix! My witchcraft doesn't really work in this place, but I wanted to make something for you anyway. This charm is supposed to attract wealth and good luck with money.

- Manaka

[thedifferencebetween]

Do you think anybody'd pay to watch Pokemon and people fight each other? Like an underground kinda thing with betting...

Audio

[moneylogues]

[Well, that's a hell of a way to suddenly start a conversation, isn't it? There's a slight beat because Felix is slightly thrown for a second. Then, though, he lets out a very amused chuckle.]

Um, hell yeah? You find the right crowd and they'll eat that shit up. Anywhere that's got people has people who love that kinda thing, especially if you throw gambling into the mix.

Hell, I'd probably pay for that.

Audio

[thedifferencebetween]

Exactly what I was thinking! I'd pay for that! Hell, back home, that kind of thing was crazy popular entertainment! Slaughter circles and all that, people went nuts for it.

I mean obviously there's not gonna be any slaughtering, that...that doesn't work here. But I've got some crazy killer Pokemon that are as used to going up against a dude as they are each other...

Audio

[moneylogues]

Yeah, you go to the right planets and it'll be there.

[He knows like a handful that don't have it, but those places are newly colonized and don't have anything, so.]

Slightly lower stakes without the death, yeah. But if anything, that'll give anyone who wants to complain a reason to think twice. Who can this really hurt, after all? [Anything goes as long as you frame it right.] Now those sound like the perfect candidates. What kind are we talking here?

Audio

[thedifferencebetween]

Everybody loves some good bloodsport!

Yeah, it's not like we're doing anything illegal. Pokemon like to fight! Plenty of people like to fight! Why not let'em, and make some money? Everybody wins!

Except anybody that doesn't, but who cares about losers?

Well, I got my Nidoking. That killer Houndoom I ended up with after all. My Beedrill...

Could always get my hands on some other ones, that'd be good for fighting against people.

Video

[thedifferencebetween]

Hey dicknuts!

Cancel any plans you have for tonight. I got ya something.

I know, I know, it's early, but I couldn't help myself! And trust me...you're gonna like it.


[A pause and then]

And I mean an actual thing I bought, not...not sex stuff.

The sex goes without saying!

Video

[moneylogues]

Whoa, whoa. Who's to say that I don't have something really big and important going on? I mean, there's so much going on here, after all. [A beat.] ...I have to say, I'm impressed that I could finish that sentence with a straight face? Because, I mean, really. [Yeah his schedule is pretty free right now.]

So couldn't bear to let the anticipation linger any longer huh? Ha, well, alright then.

[No worries, Jack, he's always got time for people who want to give him shit you.]

Oh, obviously.

[Is that regular sass or sincerity with a hint of sass? It's Felix, one can never be totally sure.]

Video

[thedifferencebetween]

Unless you're blowing the High Emperor of Pokeworld in exchange for getting the hell out of here or some guns, there's nothing more important than when I wanna give you a present.

What can I say? I'm a giver.

Video

[moneylogues]

Pshhh, believe me, you'd be the first to hear about that. But yeah, no, no worries. I got plenty of time for you.

A generous spirit through and through. My favorite type of person.

[j a c k]

Oh my god, dude.

[There's some stifled laughter there. Fuuuuck that one's kinda good.]

audio

[thedifferencebetween]

Don't pretend you didn't laugh, that's funny as hell.

audio

[moneylogues]

You can't prove anything!

[It is, it is funny, absolutely.]

audio

[thedifferencebetween]

I don't have to. I know it in my friggin soul.

Oh, by the way, some dude offered me fifty bucks to watch you box with Goliath. And by 'you' I mean he offered it to watch me but I said you'd do it.

Audio

[thedifferencebetween]

So hey....heads up for ya!

My daughter's finally done with her stupid rebellious phase, she's coming home for the holidays.

Don't worry, I don't expect you to be involved, she's an adult and that's...that's not your whole deal anyway. But maybe you could dial down the dickishness just with her. She's having a rough time, and this is the first time she's wanted to come home since she got here.

Audio

[moneylogues]

No kidding? Well. Didn't see that coming.

[Felix always kind of figured the whole Angel thing wasn't ever gonna happen, but huh. Shows what he knows.]

Right, riiiiight. You want filtered Felix. Charming merc with a hidden heart of gold Felix. [The type he maybe would've sold himself as here, if there had been any reason for it.] I can handle that.

Audio

[thedifferencebetween]

I figured it was just a matter of waiting her out. Kids, ya know?

You don't gotta go that far, just dial it back a little and don't be a shit to her. In front of her's fine, just not TO HER. You know I don't give an actual shit about too much here, but she's top of the list.

Oh, hey, speaking of the holidays and kids and shit...you think I got time to visit the Safari Zone before Christmas? I wanna get Diana a Blitzle, I've been teasing her with the promise of a pony long enough.

[moneylogues]

I definitely do not know and have spent most of my life avoiding knowing, but sure.

Oh, same thing, really. I have a lot of experience with this, don't worry. I'll be nice.

[Shockingly, he's actually pretty good at that.]

So going straight for lightning pony, huh? Way better than the boring standard ponies. [Do Earth ponies shoot out lightning? They sure don't. Terrible.] But yeah, I'd say so. Should work out.

[Valentine's Day morning, Felix will find a stupid Valentine taped to the bathroom mirror:]
