Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Probably best you don't remember it." He affirmed. "Ya see, never under estimate the power of a plant." Though he didn't want to admit it, for as much as he hated that stupid galactic's hedgehog... he wanted one. His affinity to grass types drew him to want to have a shaymin, even if they did blow up in your face. Often.

"Balloons? That's interesting." He thought he'd caught a glimpse of that on the raid. "Strange little one, but each have their own personality." Like people, it seemed pokemon all had their own, very defined personalities. What was so different from a pikachu with a balloon obsession and a drifblim with an... erotic attraction to cake? Though thinking about Newton, Mau had to stop himself from facepalming

Nuu laughed, rolling over once with her blimy giggles. That was fun. You didn't even have to pop out from someplace. You could just harmlessly be following along and they turn around and you make faces! Squish your lips together like a magikarp and wiggle your arms. It was a party! Sometimes the people would throw their arms high and join you. But then they screamed and ran away.

Mau stifled a faint laugh. "Ah yeah..." He thought a moment on how to explain this. "Nuu's father, Newton, the drifblim, has strange habits with food... Sweets in particular. I'd recommend not eating any cake unless you know exactly when it was made and who's had access to it. Trust me on this." It was kind of gross if he were to be honest. But if he were being honest, he'd also admit to it being completely hilarious.

"It's true though." He said, thinking about the man's pikachu. "If they really want something, or want to learn something, they darn well will." His mind flickered back to the research he'd been doing before being transferred to Kodo. "..." His face became slightly pensive, but only for a moment. It was time for a different subject.

"How long are the Ammut-women keeping you here?"

Oh yes, Nuu had indeed tried that! Though Ire was not the best pokemon to have tried it on. The skittish Jolteon hadn't reacted with fright like she should have. No. Instead Nuu got thunder fang'd, and that hurt something fierce. She would try it on the chimecho she shared space with, but to be perfectly honest, as far as pokemon went, that thing scared her.

"It's a very weird pokemon... trust me. Only reason he tolerates me is cause I bring him grape jelly, which seems to be his favorite food." Had Mau known the man's thoughts on the now questionable cake that was brought for him, he would not have blamed him for having it thrown away. He might have offered to do it himself actually. But then, he had a low opinion of anything that came from the cafeteria. So even without the possibility that Newton might have humped this cake, he still would have suggested it be tossed.

"I'm surprised they didn't give ya a room with TV. Tough break." At least Mau had a TV in his room... even if he couldn't reach the remote half the time because of his broken shoulder, and Nyx had arranged it so if he asked for the remote, he got pudding. He still had to get back at her for that. "Least you can be entertained if Nuu comes to see you and Deine. Watch them a while. What department are you in anyways? Or... do you have one? If you worked in the tech department, I could still see them giving you small things to do while laid up. And the Lab would probably have paperwork for you. ... Actually, the lab would without a doubt have paperwork for you. There's always paperwork for the labs to get done." He laughed a little, though it was strained. "When I was laid up a couple weeks I spent almost the same amount of time just catching up on the things I missed." He waved a hand at that dismissively.

Nuu got along amazingly with Aki. But that was her mama... papa. But Aki was still fun and would play with her whenever she wanted. She never played with Ran though. Ire was the stick in the mud. Always so important with tending to Mau's berry plants. Mai was no fun. She liked sleeping all the time and didn't move much unless Mau made her. Uta actually frightened her. and now there was that new pink and yellow thing that hatched from the yellow egg. Que was cute, but didn't play much. He was still too tiny, and he kept shocking her. Pichu didn't control their electricity too well.

Well, that was certainly true. Not that Mau owned many books anymore. He'd left most of them back at his old post. Though aside from when he was recovering from injuries, he didn't have much time to read them. "True." He relented. Though sometimes reading an article on the latest scientific breakthrough wasn't nearly as informative as a documentary. But, not everyone felt the same. Oh well. Hearing Nuu's voice, Mau also looked up. "Hm... I wouldn't have thought of it that way, but I suppose you're right. Colorful things, aren't they?"

When the man said he wasn't in a specific department, Nau nodded. Not that it was a bad thing. They made use of generalists. And those who could specialize in stealing or battling would be useful on missions. ... Baring any exploding hedgehogs. "Well, nothing wrong with that. We need generalists as much as specialists." He scratched the back of his head for a moment. "I think I'll probably pass on handing you any lab work... Unless you know some of the finer points of Pokemon brain alterations."

Yeah, electric types were such a pain to deal with. Nuu had yet to meet an electric type that she liked. They were too zappy. She also didn't like dark pokemon much. They seemed stuck up and were just scary in general. It was fun to try and torment normal types because typically they couldn't do anything to her.
