I've got a question.

[The feed isn't opening up on the older man, no; it's focused on a Bronzor hovering a few feet off the ground, acting as a roadblock every time a Yanma comes zipping by. The dragonfly has to jerk to a stop and detour above or below, making unhappy sounds each time it has to stop.]

The hell is that? It's a floating piece of metal. I admit I've seen stranger shit, like magic floating books and attack statues, but this thing is just a shield.

[He's getting too old for this shit, is what his tone is coming across as.]

[An unpleasant sound was coming from Misaki upon seeing the Bronzor. Thank god she had text to hide behind.]

It looks kind of like a mirror
Maybe it is possessed?

It doesn't act like it's possessed, other than... floating.

[Ah, the 'srsly, wtf is dis shit' stage. Hiccup is relieved to see that Nier is settling in nicely.]

There really are all kinds of pokemon... That might be the strangest one I've seen, too.

Someone was showing two metal gears working together too, so they're both on my guess of leftover robot parts that came to life. [The Bronzor makes a very subtle turn one direction, before moving two feet very quickly; the Yanma nearly runs right into it before zipping to the side and zooming past again.]

... Dragonfly is going to hit it like a wall soon.

[shippingmath]

Couldn't say. Haven't run into it yet. Looks pretty cool to me.

[In contrast, Dirk almost seems like he wishes he were there in person to look the pokemon over.]

[doveseeker]

I'm in the Ruins of Alph, if that's of any help. [Aka, go there, you will find one.] Someone else said it looks like a mirror, and I can agree in a way. It looks more like something I'd strap to my arm to fend off blows than something to look into though, with the way it likes to stare.

[Since Bronzor is the topic of the discussion, the Pokemon turns just enough to stare at the gear... and keep staring. Like a creep.]

[shippingmath]

[Dirk is ignoring the staring for now. Who knows how long he will last.]

What does the 'dex say about it?

[doveseeker]

[Bronzor keeps staring.....]

That it's a steel and psychic type, and was commonly in ancient tombs, and apparently thought to act like a mirror back in the day. It doesn't say much more than that though.

[shippingmath]

Mirror seems appropriate. The 'dex entries are more like trivia facts than actual info, but it's a start.

[doveseeker]

It's better than no information, I guess. [Waving a hand between the Bronzor and the screen, the Pokemon only sharply turns away to cast his gaze elsewhere, his staring contest ruined.

What a weird thing.]

[shippingmath]

[Dirk just smirks the tiniest bit. A mirror technically just broke the staring contest here.]

Maybe you can make it act less weird. Possibly.

[doveseeker]

By doing what?

[He jerks at a sharp noise then, the Yanma finally smucking headlong into the Bronzor, and lets out an unhappy screech. Turning and scowling, give him a minute to deal with the situation by returning the mirror to it's ball, crouching to check the bug type.]
