006 | Video

[The sound of rain hitting terra cotta tiles can be heard as the video starts up, revealing a wide shot of the front of Sprout Tower. Kaneki can be seen sitting in the dry grass beneath the overhang with his hair damp and wearing a blue jacket that's darkened along the shoulders, evidence that he just recently got caught in a downpour. There's a Ratatta on one of his shoulders, curled up as close as she can get to his face and shivering from her whiskers to her long tail wrapped like a loose scarf around his neck.

Also, there are sheep. How many sheep?

So many.

Mareep, to be exact, each one of them with their wooly bodies wet and causing them to shiver a little, too, all clustered near and around Kaneki beneath the overhang. His Bouffalant is lying in the grass a few feet away with his hooves beneath himself and even more Mareep huddled up against him, seeking the warmth of his massive bouffafro.]


I thought I would be able to make it back without getting caught in the rain, but...I guess I should have expected as much.

[Kaneki laughs a little, currently petting the head of a Mareep nestled between his knees. The little sheep bleets softly at the contact, bumping its nose into his hand.]

I feel bad for these little guys, all caught out in the rain like this. They, ah...don't seem to like it very much.

[That's said with a slight jerk as he pulls his hand back from the Mareep's wool, shaking his hand slightly when he feels his fingertips get a slight shock, like one might after rubbing their socks on carpet before touching somebody on the arm. All of the sheep are loaded with static, but with all of this water around...it's living dangerously having so many of them congregated under one roof, so to speak. But he can't bring himself to shoo them away, and it's raining too hard to leave just yet...]

Does anyone know just how long they might be around? It feels like every time I look there are more of them...and it doesn't look like this rain is going to stop any time soon.

[He's already lost count of how many he's seen today alone, not to mention all of the ones with him now. Still, he doesn't mind staying out here with them for a while. It's better than staying cooped up in the hotel all day, after all.]

Oh, don't get me wrong, they're still having a good time. I'm not really going to complain about it, either, I don't mind getting soaked once in a while. Feels like home.

If the cottonballs want to hide under the awnings, they're more than welcome to, if anything it keeps them out of the way.

They're not too hard to find if you look for 'em. I just wouldn't recommend doing it now.

So are you, what - a trainer, I guess it is? Breeder, something else...?

Breeder. Haven't done too much of it yet, but I've got some stuff I need to work on first. Get their moves set, because apparently that's something we've got to figure for.

I've never done anything like it, but I think that just kind of comes with the territory of not coming from anywhere with sentient animals.

So where you're from is it more just trying to get the poodles to be the prettiest poodles they can be, that kind of pedigree stuff?

Most mammals don't.

[AND THEN THERE'S THE MIGHTY PLATYPUS, THE COSMIC JOKE OF THE UNIVERSE. (NO OFFENSE TO PERRY.)]

Kind of makes me wonder about the humans around here.

...I'd apologize but like hell if I'm going to suffer alone.

You kidding? You wouldn't even get a straight answer - the breeders' handbook makes the miracle of life sound like an actual miracle, like nobody's got any idea how it even happens.

Look at a Ditto sometime and tell me you want to be the guy credited with doing the research on how it breeds with everything.
