3_butterflies [It's very rare for Fluttershy to ever make a post on the gear, so it must be important. Her eyes are a little red, maybe from crying, or maybe she's just frustrated. Her Murkrow sits on her shoulder, gently nudging her, trying to encourage her. after a moment, Fluttershy nods, and speaks.]
H-Hello, everypony... I mean, everyone. I just wanted to say something...
A lot of us can't understand Pokemon. But Pokemon can understand us. They can tell when we're angry, or sad, or happy, or frightened... And in time, they understand our language too. After all, a Pokemon wouldn't be able to battle if they didn't know what we were saying.
That said... that means they can also understand insults, and rudeness. So please think carefully before you talk to or around your Pokemon... especially when naming them...
... That's all.

...I'm going to switch onto video, okay? I'd like it if you did too.
[He switches onto video. He's on his bed in the inn, a virtual mountain of books and manila folders stacked around the room. Flora is cuddled up to his chest, and there's soft chittering in the background of Missy explaining tag to Nate and Yang. Reid made her promise (with Flora as translator) to take it outside before they start running around.] I, uh, I don't really believe that's it, Fluttershy.

Date: 2012-10-10 11:20 pm (UTC)Damn it, Yang.]
That...
...Well, that's sort of a simplification. I'm a federal agent of the Behavioral Analysis Unit. Basically, that means that when there's a very dangerous criminal--usually a serial killer or someone else that commits a violent crime more than three times--I help find them by creating a profile detailing how they think and what motivates them. A lot of the time, I go out in the field and help apprehend them myself, yes.
I say that Albert's in my line of work because he's also a federal agent, but he isn't part of the BAU. He's part of the Criminal Investigative Division, or the CID.

Date: 2012-10-10 11:30 pm (UTC)[Screw it, close enough. The point isn't that she understand his job.]
Why do you find that upsetting, Fluttershy? [He thinks he knows, but he wants to be sure. From what he's heard from Twilight, their world is very sheltered compared to his.]

Date: 2012-10-11 01:09 am (UTC)[...That sounds like a really nice world.]
Well... unfortunately, there's a lot of evil where I come from. And there are also a lot of people who, who can't actually understand that what they're doing is bad, or are too desperate to think of anything else to do.
It's my job to make sure they can't hurt anyone else after they're noticed.

Date: 2012-10-11 01:14 am (UTC)[Nice, maybe...]
That's... that's why I respect you both so much. I don't think anypony from my world would be able to handle that.

Date: 2012-10-11 01:41 am (UTC)[He chews on his lip, looking down at Flora. He's not used to being complimented, even though (unknown to him) it's richly deserved.] I... well, thank you. But I think you'd be surprised by what some people can handle. No one would have thought I would become part of the BAU when I was growing up.
[Private Video]
Date: 2012-10-11 01:45 am (UTC)... But that sounds like an even bigger reason to respect you for what you do and how far you've come.
[Private Video]
Date: 2012-10-11 01:57 am (UTC)No, what I mean is... I'm sure that there are people where you come from who would be able to handle it. Sometimes it's the person who you least expect. [He's saying it's not a necessarily uncommon thing even though it totally is
But it feels like there is something that needs to be addressed, namely his reaction to daily trauma. After all, the girl already knows about his nightmares. Might as well ease any other doubts she might have about his mental health.]
It's... y-yeah, yeah, I'd be lying if I said it was an easy job. It's not. But I know how to cope with it, as does everyone else who's been doing it as long as I have. Honestly, I couldn't imagine doing anything else.

Date: 2012-10-11 02:02 am (UTC)So... thank you, for doing what you do.

Date: 2012-10-13 03:39 am (UTC)...
[Reid gives a small smile.]
Thank you too. And, well, hopefully, we won't need me to keep doing it here. As far as I've seen, this is a pretty non-violent place.
It's really nice, actually.

Date: 2012-10-13 12:03 pm (UTC)[ah, pokemon. you know, for kids!]

Date: 2012-10-14 06:05 am (UTC)Still. As far as I've seen, they're much less violent than the gangs and organized crime in my world.
[What that says about his world, you probably don't want to think about.]
When did they blow up a building, though? I haven't really seen them do anything since I got here.
