"Most of 'em, yeah."

"I guess if you have to call them something it's the obvious choice."

"Yup." Juu vanishes. A unicorn which is on fire appears. "Fireflower's a Rapidash."

Permalink

"That. Is the most beautiful living thing I have ever seen."

"You'll make her even more full of herself than she already is," laughs Bella, stroking the fire-mane. She isn't burned.

She almost reaches out. But, well, fire.

"I kinda want to show you some walkers but they don't conveniently turn pocket sized."

Permalink

"It's really convenient that 'mon do that, I couldn't reasonably have six if they didn't," says Bella. "Maybe Bar can dig up a picture if you tell her what to look for?"

Permalink

"Ooh okay. Um, the picture the Berlin Daily had in the Porsche Runabout ad?"

Permalink

Bar provides.

It's a showy lineup of a lot of two-legged walkers of various size. The small ones to the left and right have various workers and tools attached to them. The center is dominated by a tall, sleek, and shiny chrome walker of the same overall type, with a gentleman in a suit grinning at the controls.

The tag line reads 'Not just for work anymore. Porsche Runabout, starting at 3,000,000 Marks.'

"Porsches are very, very nice, if hard to maintain."

"Are they fast compared to wheeled vehicles?" wonders Bella.

Permalink

"That depends. That really depends. On highways? Maybe not. But on little roads or off roads definitely. Little walkers suffer in speed compared to big ones, but then again I've never seen any big wheeled vehicles. These worker runabouts can probably run at twenty or thirty, and the Porsche one can manage fifty five on an open field. Four-leg walkers the size of this bar that aren't loaded down with cargo or armor can usually do sixty to eighty on flat ground. Fastest passenger landship in operation hits one hundred twenty, the Midyal Cruiser."

"Huh, cool."

Permalink

"I kinda like airplanes too. But they're so much more expensive, I haven't gotten a chance to actually work on any of them. How is Dash making fire?"

Permalink

"Her name is Fireflower and her species is Rapidash," Bella corrects. "She's a fire-type, she's just like this all the time."

Permalink

"No animals I know except maybe Darwinist things can be on fire. What other types are there?"

Permalink

"Water, electric, grass, dark, ice, psychic, ghost, fairy, steel, rock, ground, dragon, normal, bug, flying. - Oh and poison."

Permalink

"Do all the types have things like the fire? Except normal I guess?"

Permalink

"Not... exactly? What do you mean like the fire?"

Permalink

"How Fireflower is on fire. I can feel the heat even if you're immune. Where is all the energy for that coming from."

Permalink

"From her? She eats... Bar, can I get a bowl of strawberry rosewater for her?" It appears. Fireflower drinks it.

Permalink

"Based on the color of the fire that looks like 1500 to 2000 degrees unless there's something phosphorescing, that's like burning a whole bucket of fuel every minute or two."

Permalink

"I don't know very much about physics but Pokémon don't work exactly like anything else in that department."

Permalink

Nod, nod. "I guess it's not like I know much about biology. Things that you know why they don't make sense don't make sense more... Does that make sense?"

Permalink

"...not exactly?"
