The Keen Engineer

Charlie resisted the urge to growl, as he said several times in the past, he would never forgive Louie for stealing Elizabeth. He looked at the screen with the most unamused look, as Louie squeaked curiously and put a knife away. He seemed to be cutting up some pik-pik carrots.

After readjusting her glasses, she snatched her captain’s KopPad from his hands, now finding herself glaring down at the screen.

"Listen here, you!…"

"I did NOT come all the way almost suffocating to death from Koppai only to have you questioning my team like that, alright? That’s very rude of you!"

Pause…. then a deep sigh. For some reason, she had a guilty feeling that she shouldn’t be yelling at him like that. Clearing her throat, she continued to speak, albit in a softer tone than earlier.

"…L-look, again, I am sorry. As you could probably see, I haven’t been myself lately."

…Quite literally, of course.

Bonus for the bravehearts: reblog without looking, either.

"Guys! I have picked up a signal! It’s probably Olimar!"

He happily made a call to the source, and after a few good moments of beeping and calling, someone finally picked up. But, It wasn’t Olimar. It was somebody the three probably DIDN’T want to see/hear at a time like this.

"Actually…. there might have been one plant-related thing I’ve studied - and eaten - for myself from here once. Ever heard of the Pikpik Carrots? They’re indigenous to Hocotate…. but they tasted really terrible and bitter, last time I checked. They also lack Piktamin U, which is most likely why we didn’t bother going to Hocotate in place of PNF-404….”

…Of course, she was speaking in the sense when she was still a Koppite. Would being a Hocotatian change her tastebuds and find the carrots more favorable?

Brittany quickly turned around when she heard her captain’s claim of a found signal. She quickly rushed over to confirm his statement.

"Really? Let’s see, Captain! I hope you’re right for-"

To her dismay, once she had peeked at Charlie’s KopPad’s screen, apparently it was non other than the food thief who responded.

"………………"

(…Unbelievable.)

ooc: I’m still here! Glad you’re alright!

Uh, here’s a quick doodle of Alph in Pajamas, cuz why not!
