—QUEST: BITS AND BOBS (KINGER)

[wolfcut]

[ Bigby's not particular good about getting to know most of the newer arrivals until long after they're new. Kinger is no different in that regard, but after raising an eyebrow at hearing that name, he was more than fine with them getting paired up at Raichu's suggestion. They're the same size and both adults at that, so sorting through a few rocks together should go off without a hitch.

After tossing a few duds into their own separate pile, he sighs. Maybe it is a little tedious. ]

You know, I'm starting to wonder what all these rocks are actually for.

[ He pauses as the next stone his paws start to light up, cheeks sparking just a bit. ]

Not exactly the materials I thought we'd be working with.

[0dchess]

No, I was hoping this would be a chance to flex some human skills, not just... glowing.

[Kinger tries to be a bit more optimistic about it, tedious work is important work too.]

This kind of thing is important to science too! Sometimes the smallest thing is what's needed to spark a new discovery. [Kinger takes a beat.] And short of finding silicon, my skills aren't going to come in handy anyway.

[wolfcut]

Spark. [ The electricity from his cheeks short out. Then, flatly: ] Nice one.

[ Sometimes he can let a pun slide without too much of a groan. He tosses the rock into the good pile. ]

Guess Pokémon just have their own way of doing things. [ His head tilts, curious. ] ... Silicon?

[0dchess]

[Kinger didn't even mean to make the pun, but it at least gets Bigby to open up.]

Oh, I worked with computers, mostly. A few centuries ahead of technology here.

[Kinger glows his mushrooms at some rocks, and sorts them accordingly.]

What did you do before all this?
