Oh shit, he's gone and wrote Pokemon into a writing prompt again! I swear, I can't think of a thing to write on Thursdays, and then suddenly PCA sneaks into it all. This just fit perfectly, it's crazy! D:
Anyway, this is the introduction for who should hopefully be my last character. Aingus MacFeegle, a beefy, Scottish Luvdisc, language arts teacher, poet, linguist, and generally well-travelled old guy. I imagine him as basically a well-built older dude, in a sport coat and kilt, with a Luvdisc for a head (that's a heart-shaped fish, for those not in the know), and maybe some facial hair. He tells us about his late wife ('corazao' is a corruption of the Portuguese word for 'heart') and helps Kaynen with some poemetries.
And yes, more Kaynen in this story. 'Cause he just seems to fit everywhere.
EDIT: Also reuploaded to retcon Kay's species. Thank God these worked right the first time.

Luvdiscs, FYI, are fish shaped like hearts. I'll get you a link! http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/369.shtml So the character design is meant to be somewhat comical.
And thank you. ^v^ I pride myself on being able to capture accents. It really adds to dialogue, since not everyone speaks Standard English. :)

Wait, ignore that link. D: http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/370.shtml I got distracted by Relicanth.
Hm...An interesting story, indeed. I liked the tale of such a short lived love, it's very sweet and sad. The thing I'm not too sure I understand is why get rid of the accent while telling the story? I understand that it would be a lot of work to add in his accent for the entire story, and I only reall noticed when he stopped talking about the past. And I know that it could pose some stylistic problems, but it doesn't seem right for him to be speaking in the "I" as if he were telling the story but his 'accent' be gone. This could be how this sort of thing was done, but it just strikes as odd to me, I suppose. But that's a very minor detail in my mind, because the story was so very entertaining and I really do like the feel of this piece.
Hah! I'm glad someone finally asked me about that. :D The official story is "Take is lazy and didn't want to write a whole page in vernacular". Otherwise, I would've.
I'm glad people enjoy what bits of accent I did include, however. ^v^ I do sometimes find it a difficult decision to make, as far as how much to use, how thick to make it, etc. Many times, I find readers have a difficult time with accents, so it's not always a good thing to use.

Such wonderful sound in a well written accent. I have a habit of reading such things out loud because I love the feel of them on my tongue . . and also because it helps me get used to it faster and figure out what he's actually saying when the phonetic spelling strays so far from the "correct" :)
At any rate, the story tastes wonderful *grin* Thank you

Awesome. XD I'm actually considering retconning him into a Clefairy/Jigglypuff hybrid. Because honestly, that little story I did about his family, I envisioned his mother as a 'Puff the entire time. That would make his sister either the same, or just an Igglybuff, but my entire corner of the PCA is about to undergo a significant rewrite. I'm considering everything so far to just be practice, as it were.
