#hanako raught

This is Echo, a student at Hammerlocke University. I’m specifically studying the idea of “magic as a science”, so I’d like to ask a few questions about the specifics of your “Curse”, if you’re willing to interview?

Thanks!

…Hold on.

[Calling Uncle Taro, Uncle Lano, Uncle Max, and Hanako]

I think so too.

Hey Hanako.

MOTHER—

I had thoughts. Johnny has a family. They must have Pokémon too. Naming their Pokémon after dead people is kinda a common thing in the Raught family.

John Raught Sr: Rotom “Tesla” (After Nikola Tesla) Yeah! Tesla used to be John Sr’s!

Janet Raught née Publick: Diglett “Tiller”

Taro Raught: Furfrou “Charlot” (After Juli Lynne Charlot, the woman who invented the poodle skirt)

Kimiko Raught née Yamada: Clefairy “Fluffy”

Hanako Raught: Marill “Charlie” (After Charlie Chaplin, one of the earliest known crossdressers)

Fulano “Lano” Raught: Crobat “Conroy” (After Kevin Conroy, one of the best known voice actors for Batman)

Erika Raught née Mustermann: Lopunny “Shantae”

Max Raught: Male Meowstic “Houdini” (Do I really need to explain this one?)

Max and Erika’s kids, Rita and Rico are 8 and 5 respectively, and aren’t old enough to have Pokémon yet.

Inside, there’s a small Marill plush, and a second, smaller box, with loose copies of a few DS games, including Mario Party DS, Professor Layton and the Curious Village, and several random shovelware carts. There’s also a bag of caramels.

There’s a note inside the box, in the same handwriting as the address tag: “Few days late again. Sorry. Hope you enjoy. Happy Birthday!”

My black and pink platform boots, easy.

-Q

…Huh?
