#nobody tell Chatot that Opal and Ruby are some of the most well-behaved recruits in Guild history

[sincerely-sofie]

Omg I love Ruby

I'm not sure that the person who sent in her origin story quite understands how much I adore this girl. I love her so much. She's my baby. Oh my goodness gracious. She's such a good partner-in-crime for Opal and I can see these two forming an exploration team together when they grow up.

Team Smoke and Mirrors are some of the most well-known scouts there are in the exploration team world— they aren't the best of the best, but they're up there in skill, and Guildmaster Bidoof is always bragging that those two were apprenticed at his guild, and look at how they turned out! Yup yup, he's so proud to have been able to help them get their footing and send such a doggone wonderful team out into the world, gosh!

Chatot retired shortly before the Guild received their application papers, and he's slightly conflicted about that.

On the one hand, he'd like to resume his work and ensure they get a proper apprenticeship— while he's never met Ruby, he remembers when Twig brought a younger Opal to the Guild on a handful of occasions when her husband (Chatot shudders whenever he recalls the reality of who she married) was away on his own errands and she couldn't get a sitter for the day. He recalls Opal transforming into a downy little hatchling of his species during the first visit, and she was always in that form before Twig even came through the front doors on subsequent visits— when Bidoof casually mentioned the significance of this, Chatot was so emotional the rest of the day that he misfiled an embarrassing number of reports. He doubts Opal remembers him at all, but he'd be proud to keep her and her sister on the straight and narrow.

On the other hand, her and her sister are Twig's daughters. He barely survived ONE Twig. The thought of TWO of them being apprenticed simultaneously, let alone on a single team, is nearly enough to make his feathers go gray with just the thought.

It's good to know you mellowed out enough to raise those two into such upright young girls.” #to which Twig replies “Yeah no that was all Ark. He's too polite for it to not rub off on our kids. I'm still a menace haha!” #(Chatot is about to have an aneurysm at the reminder that Twig is married to Darkrai because he purposefully forgets this fact 24/7) #Twig then says Opal and Ruby were really disappointed to find out that he wasn't working in the Guild anymore bc they wanted to meet him #and Chatot is TRYING to keep up a proper appearance and not burst into tears in the middle of Treasure Town square but then Twig says: #“I'm glad we bumped into each other--- I've really missed you Chatot.” #Poor bird never stood a chance. #the present is a gift au #shadow baby au #pmd oc #pmd ocs #pmd bidoof #pmd chatot #pokémon mystery dungeon #pokemon mystery dungeon #pmd explorers #pmd sky #pmd eos #pmd2 #pmd #sofie answers asks
