[It's honestly really nice to have someone check up on him, and...honestly really easy to take for granted. Where would he even be if he didn't have people like Bigby or Archnemon looking out for him? Probably nowhere good, let's...let's not think about it right now.]
Yeah, I'm doing alright. I'm...a little worried about the Minior, though... It's kinda sad, right? They can't even handle the air or else they just...die.
[Wait, no, is that too depressing? He doesn't want to depress him.]
Um, so...! Did you get your fortune? I was a little too nervous... But! I might try again if Farigiraf is still around. I dunno yet.
[That he even went straight into guardian mode is completely lost on him. But could anyone blame him? Who could have fun while there are literally Pokémon dying out there?]
R-Really? Y-You mean it's all fake? [...phew.] What a relief. For a second there, I was stating to believe it. I mean, if anyone looked like they could hand out bad fortunes, it's that Farigiraf.
[He means that in the best way, though. Farigiraf almost looks like a Digimon.]
[ And yet, he huffs a laugh, cheeky bastard that he is. ]
That guy might look scary, but trust me. All that superstitious stuff... it's sort of like watching a horror movie, you know? Just meant to mess with you and—
[ He immediately cuts off with a short gasp, followed by a solid thud. ]
[Well, that was startling, to say the least. Ugh, this is the one thing he hates about the pearls, not being there to perhaps maybe catch him or...help him...or...whatever it is that happened. It's hard to tell when all he gets is the noise, but it's not like it sounded good.]
T-That was the curse, wasn't it?! It...it really is real!
[ Give him a second to just lay there in his own hubris. And also see where his pearl rolled off to. ]
N-no, I just wasn't looking where I was going. [ Curse? What curse? Absolutely not. He mutters under his breath. ] ... What the hell are they working on here?
[ Some town project this is. No signs or even... a ladder. ] Hm. [ It's not a big hole, but he is smaller than most. ]
He's obviously not hurt that bad, or else he'd be yelling a lot more. Doesn't sound like he's in danger, either. Not looking where he's going... Some sort of work project... Hmm...]
[ Bigby oughta be proud of Aegiomon using his deductive skills. Just what he'd expect from his deputy, but maybe he's feeling a little embarrassed at being found out. ]
... Yeah. Right around town too. Not sure what it's for.
Wait, around town? Weren't there any signs out there to warn you?
[Hmmmm... Aegiomon respects Bigby too much to believe he'd just ignore warning signs like that.]
Are you sure it's something they're working on and not just someone...digging holes? I'm pretty sure there's at least one Pokémon where "dig" is literally in the name.
[ Not that he was looking for them either, but he would've spotted them. He knows he would've. ]
You're probably right but— [ He grumbles, pacing around, trying to find any kind of foothold he can jump off of. ] —they could've done this out in the woods. Away from everyone else.
[ Trying not to loose his cool in front of Aegiomon, but he's still a little peeved. ]
I definitely don't disagree, but what do you even do in this sorta situation?
[Is it against the law to dig holes? He isn't sure.]
It's totally rude, at least. Someone way less durable could really hurt themselves if they fall in. ...Is anyone around? Maybe you can put up your own warning sign? Where is this, anyway? Maybe I can help.
[ Huge emphasis on nice, even if his version of reminding someone to be careful isn't exactly that. He does huff just the smallest laugh. Durable. Yeah, maybe he is, when nothing's managed to kill him yet when he's stuck like this. ]
Mm. Wasn't exactly a busy part of town. It's on the way to the woods, away from most of the shops. [ A beat. ] Could probably use a lift. Think you can sniff me out, kid?

[ It's Bigby's big month of checking in on all of his kids apparently. ]
You hanging in there with all the fesitval stuff going on?

Luckily everyone's been helping 'em out, right? The clinic's doing everything that it can.
[ The clinic is also not a topic he wants to focus on. He clears his throat a bit. ]
Fortune? [ A beat. ] Oh, yeah. That thing. You shouldn't worry about it. It's all just for fun.
[ He's been having bad luck ever since. ]

Did you get one, Bigby? What'd you get?
