No scorn on this, people have the fun they have and I don't want to poop on that, but... getting tags on my stuffy period drama character from a Pokemon OC just hits all of my most absurd buttons.
I think I'm going to have him start asking if the water they fire out of their mouth is drinkable because THINK OF THE USES THESE CREATURES COULD BE ON LONG SEA VOYAGES!!!
An infinite source of fresh water? CATCH IT!
It's glorious I was delighted
IF IT'S SALT WATER THEN WE DON'T NEED IT. There's already shitloads of that at sea.
AND HORATIO WILL LOSE HIS SENSE OF WONDER B[
Because squirting out salt water is basically just crying, and anyone can cry.
Well, it is an IMPRESSIVELY FORCEFUL cry
It saves men at the pumps
Think of the lives it would save!
..have you seen water a year in cask?
Yes they would drink pokebarf
Fresh pokebarf! Clean from the squirtle!
Hardtack and pokébarf, a meal fit for a king
actually clear! Not green and slightly smelling like a swamp!
(they'd probably find some way to make it gross and inhumane, because THE NAVY)
(THE NAVY. Flogging would be involved)
/barrels of pokeballs, one opened every week to be harvested of it's water and meat Bc
Haha god this is all getting SLOWLY MORE AWKWARD
SAILORS JUST SLOWLY CONSUMING THE TASTY BANANAS OF HAPPY POKEMONS
Their pokemon would be BETTER than French pokemon OBVIOUSLY
OCcasionally they would get drunk a la Aubrey and the Sloth and terriblarity would ensue
ON A HAPPIER NOTE: This other OC who tagged me is clearly great and I want to be their pal.
oh god this plurk is so cute
things I NEVER THOUGHT I NEEDED TO READ
THE POKEMON HAS STOPPED TAGGING ME :C
STARMIES PULL BOATS IN THE ANIME
TOO DAMAGED TO MAKE IT TO SHORE? GET A FEW DOZEN STARMIE

don't fight it
Sharpe vs. The Snorlax...
superior officers all like: JUST WAKE THE DAMN THING UP, SHARPE. Really, a PROPER officer could do it >:C
Then later the snorlax falls asleep on their tent and Sharpe and the other chosen men CHUCKLE HEARTILY as Hagman sings them off into the distance
