[Research Co-op] Another Weedle research (Eulalio and co)

[Rano713]

Trainer: Eulalio Demetriou Florakis, Adette Canmore, Cameron Astor,
Project: Task: #01 - Meet the Locals
Assignment: Assignment 5: Study a Nauwillian Weedle
Requirement Proof: Purslane the weedle
Options Chosen: physical quirks & notable behaviors

Physical Quirks	Ins + Lore	3	... that weedle's tail often moves on its own, even when it's asleep. The movement eerily resembles the motions of a head looking around, complete with random pauses and tilts.
Notable Behaviors	Clever + Alert	3	... that a weedle which feels highly threatened instinctively waves its tail at its enemy. Turns out, they can safely detach the marked section of their tail, letting them scurry away safely!

Who Is Rolling: Peterpan/Sami/Cameron Astor are gonna be rolling for both!

With how successful the last gathering to check out their weedle had gone, Eulalio arranged to have another one for the day after. Purslane was asleep, as he always was it seemed. But that meant it was fairly simple to get everything set up. The enrichment center had some nice open rooms for them to meet in. So they had posted up in one with a table and some chairs. Purslane was perched on a pillow in the middle of the table and Eulalio was standing at the door.

They'd remembered to bring snacks, both for themself and for anybody else who came. After sending out a message in the community chat, all that was left to do was wait to see who would show up.

Last time was... Rather rambunctious. There were so many people. Cameron got some really good research out of the little Weedle, but there were just so many people...

This time, though, it looked to just be Eulalio and Adette. Both seemed like... Nice people. He could... Perhaps sit with them again for a long period of time.

Cameron could already see little Purslane asleep on the table, and a small genuine smile was cracked. Approaching with a cup carrier in hand, he would quietly pull a chair from around the table out to place his bag on. Next he slid the carrier onto the table, glanced at the sides of the cups, and would pluck one up to pass to Eulalio. "Here. You said you liked fruit based teas, so I brewed one up this morning for you. I've got some sweeteners in my bag, too, if you want to add anything to it."

A second chance to sit with others and study little Purslane would be wonderful. It was nice that it was just the three of them this time instead of so many people like the last time. Easier to get things documented without everyone trying to step over everyone else. She smiled at them both and gave a small wave. At least they were inside and away from the craziness of what was going on outside. The fact that Purslane could sleep through all that was pretty amazing.

"Good morning." Not that she thought that Purslane would wake if she talked in her normal tone she greeted the two of them, pulling her bag she pulled out a few bento boxes that were filled with fruits and sandwiches inside. "I brought some extra food. I see Purslane is unperturbed by the events that are transpiring around us. I wonder how long that will last."

Eulalio brightened as Cameron arrived for the second research group. As they were following him to the table, Adette also popped in. Waving her in, they gratefully took the cup of cold tea, beaming at Cameron.

"Well thank you!" Eulalio took a hearty sip of the tea and hummed in appreciation. "I had brought some snacks but uh, Purslane ate nearly all the vegetables and fruits so there's just muffins left really." You don't pay attention to one little weedle for five minutes as you set things up and suddenly all your plants have been eaten. Taking a seat at the table Eulalio leaned one elbow against it to better watch the weedle.

"Purslane hasn't been asleep that long, so I'm not sure if he'll wake up anytime soon. Do either of you wanna try to wake him up?" Eulalio asked before taking another sip of tea.

Purslane didn't make the slightest reaction to any of them talking, aside from their tail, which had started to move about. If you didn't know better, you could almost say that it was the head and not the weedles actual head from the way it moved about.

Adette was not going to say no to some muffins. That was a good any time item and grabbed up one. "I can try to wake them up. Maybe another one of my Pokesnacks." She pulled both her notebook out of her back and a box which contained said snacks. Plucking out a cube she put it near Purslane and carefully pet the Weedle. "I know you like food."

She took a moment to write a note about the tail movement that she noticed. Interesting that even though Purslane was asleep, it was moving on its own. A bit creepy but understandable because of the other Pokemon out there. Why not trick them into thinking it was watching all the time.

As Cameron passed the tea towards Eulalio, Adette appeared. A nod of his head was all he offered in response to her wave, before he plucked her cup from the cup carrier. As she approached, he placed it on the table where she would sit. "I brewed some fruit based tea this morning for Eulalio, and brought you a cup, too." He... While he might not really like either of them, persay, he still... Felt like he should do something.

Adette passed around some boxes of food, which made him raise a brow. There were fruits and sandwiches. "That was very kind of you," he said, though he noted that Eulalio brought stuff too. He felt bad for not bringing more, but... He had brought something.

Raising a hand, he would shake his head. "No muffin for me, but thank you for the thought." A weak smile offered, and then a light clear to his throat as he shifted in his seat. But before he could offer to attempt to wake the Weedle up, Adette spoke. Instead, he also pulled out his journal while Adette gave Purslane a Poke'snack, and began to take notes too. They'd discovered quite a bit about the Weedle the day before, but there was always more to learn.

The way Purslane's tail moved was interesting. He jotted down how it moved aimlessly, but significantly more than the Poke'mon's head. Perhaps it had two heads? Or maybe the head they thought was a head was actually the back end. There was a little hum as he mulled this over, jotting down details, before leaning down a bit. He looked closely at the 'face' end, but there was no discernable way to see if it was actually the head.
