prank #52 | video

[ghostytrainer]

[As per the norm, it appears as though John's Rotom is handling the camera today. John's laying on his stomach in his backyard, idly poking at an cheerful looking Goomy Bloober with his finger. The Pokémon makes a weird sort of giggle, wiggling like a plate of jell-o.]

[Though it seems like that's not the only new friend John's managed to make. There are a few more slowly oozing their way over his back, one chewing on one of his shoelaces, and several more just milling around his yard in general. A male Jellicent and Altaria can be seen several feet away as well, apparently trying to keep the little visitors damp and happy with rain dance. It's working fairly well, from the looks of things.]

[It's also keeping a certain excitable Omanyte happy as well. Rain dance AND lots of new slimy buddies? Best.]

Happy little blobs aren't they? I like them. [He tickles the one in front of him, eliciting more burbly giggles from the little slimemon.] I kind of just want to keep this whole little herd that stumbled into our backyard earlier this morning. [A beat.] Or would glob be more appropriate? A glob of Bloobers, yeah I think that sounds better. If that IS actually what they're called, that is.

Assuming nothing weird happens and they DO end up staying with use permanently, I'm kind of looking forward to getting to train one blind. Should be fun. [He would...not be surprised if this was some more weird-ass temporary bullshit. Upset, yes. But not surprised.] Though is anybody else having trouble getting information out of them? I had some of my psychic types try and bridge the communication gap but it ended up being a no-go.

Hmm... [He tugs at his Bloober's face a little bit. Because this will clearly get the darn thing to reveal all of its secrets.]

Oh, right! [He lets go of his Bloober and looks up at the camera.] Happy early Valentine's Day! I hope everyone has a...goo-d one.

[EH. EH? GET IT? GOO-D? You know, because Bloobers?]

[Rose smiles as she watches the broadcast, sitting in the den with a cup of tea. He's ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous and she moves to the backyard, standing in the door and just staring at him for a bit.

She's going to marry this man.]

Hello John. I see you made some friends.

[ghostytrainer]

[Rose, he is going to try and keep all of them. He was not kidding.]

[...also he's probably going to need a bath. And some kind of super detergent for his clothes. He's basically a one-man manbro bukkake theater here.]

What can I say? I apparently just ooze friendly charisma.

[John please, for the love of god, stop with the slime jokes.]

[video]

[paladinlost]

My Beheeyem understands them perfectly, not that it helps. They have very similar training ethics and knowledge levels, after all.

[This is very definitely not a compliment for any of the Pokémon involved.]

...That was terrible. Working 'slime' in would have been more impressive.

[video]

[ghostytrainer]

Hmmm...so you're saying I should have said something like...Happy early Valenslime's Day?

[JOHN. STOP.]

But yeah, my Mr. Mime hasn't had any trouble with the understanding part. It's more the fact that apparently they're somewhat...simple. According to him, anyway.

[Jane is pretty much staring at this cute blob of goo, what the heck. WHAT THE HECK, it's really adorable.]

That was um-- quite a pun there John, but they are so cute.

[ghostytrainer]

Hehe, thanks! I thought it was a pretty good one for an on-the-fly pun.

[No, John. It was terrible.]

Aren't they? I wasn't kidding, I would be perfectly okay with keeping a whole glob of them.

[Hey if the Dangans can have an Eevee horde, why can't he have a Bloober glob?]

[freshprints]

Are you back at the house, then?

I need to know where to send your chocolate.

[ghostytrainer]

yup! we just got back yesterday.

...oh shit. i forgot to call you when we went through goldenrod. D:
i'm sorry, kirigiri.

[soundmind]

Yeah, I tried to have Flash and Crona talk to them, but all that really came out was--[she directs the Gear to a happily bouncing blob.] "What type are you?" "Happy!" stuff like that. They're really cute though, I'm glad they're happy.

[ghostytrainer]

Yeah, that's about how much luck Juggabro had with them. I can't even be mad though, because you're right. it's downright adorable.

[video]

[quickattackjack]

It seems my pokedex isn't the only one who can't identify these creatures! That's a releif. They've very interesting, aren't they?

And a happy Valentine's Day to you too!

[video]

[ghostytrainer]

Yeah, it's definitely not just you. Either all of our 'gears are malfunctioning or these guys are an entirely new species. Which is downright awesome, if that is indeed the case.

[video]

[solas_ion]

...That was a terrible pun.

[video]

[ghostytrainer]

So you're saying you've got a better one, right? Let's hear it then.

[You have no sense of humor, do you Lancer?]

[usedswift]

John.

[Someone looks extremely focused right now. There's a Bloober behind her, currently doing a really excellent job of reaching with gooey tendrils to latch onto her raincloud-summoning Bronzong.]

I need to know what kinds of chocolates you guys like.

[Oh. It's not about the Bloobers at all, apparently.]

video;

[ghostytrainer]

[WOAH HI THERE TENTEN. IS HE IN TROUBLE? WHAT DID HE DO oh it's just about chocolate.]

Uhh...well I'm not sure who exactly you mean by "you guys" but I'm okay with just about anything so long as there aren't peanuts in it. Which isn't even a taste issues it's an I Would Rather Not Go Into Anaphylactic Shock thing.

[Video]

[moveslikestrider]

[Dave stares at him from what is obviously a kitchen. Four Bloobers are in a mixing bowl and hanging off the sides. A five drops in from what probably was the ceiling.

Dave looks unimpressed with the whole affair and a six is swimming in the water he'd been probably about to use for dishes.]

That's it. The pun police are coming for you with their nightsticks. Time to go away now, John.

[Video]

[ghostytrainer]

[...Dave you are not cooking the Bloobers are y-- okay good no. You're just...stopping a leak? Or...something.]

[What the hell are you doing, Dave?]

I'd like to see them try! I'm a pretty slippery guy, they'll never take me alive!

[John did you really just. Again? Again?]

[timelymaid]

[ You're lucky you have one bro who likes puns.

...Even really bad ones.

Because Aradia actually laughed. There you go, John. A LAUGH. ]

They do seem quite happy! I've caught one myself, just because...well, they're really cute, aren't they? And happy.

video;

[ghostytrainer]

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all day.

[No, seriously. He will probably be out here all day. BUT THANK YOU ARADIA. YOU ARE A TRUE PAL.]

Super happy. I mean look at this. [He playfully tugs on his Bloober's face a little more. The little goo bob just keeps on smiling and gurgling and barely seems bothered.] I don't think anything bothers them...aside from drying out, I guess? They do seem pretty fond of water. Which might be why they get along with Davy Jones so much...

[Yeah, the Omanyte is having a blast, and has apparently made at least five Bloober buddies judging by how he's surrounded in the background.]

[pipers_son]

[Add another person to your list of "people who are laughing at your dumb jokes", John. Joker sometimes has horrible taste in humor.]

[Listen the fact that it's bad just makes it better okay]

Good one!

[ghostytrainer]

[You are a man of fine taste, Joker.]

Thank you, Joker. I'm glad to hear that there are some people out there with good taste in jokes.

[silentscales]

I like them too, says Ruskin. [Don't mind as the seviper licks her lips. Snake then moves into frame to sit in her coils as she holds the 'gear with her tail.

Remember this face, John?]

I'M SO SORRY I MISSED HIS REINTRO I FEEL TERRIBLE

[ghostytrainer]

[How could he forget?]

Snake! You're back!! [John was mid-vacation with Rose when Snake came back, he hadn't been paying as much attention to the network as he should have.]

When did you get back? Er...if you remember being here at all before. And if not uh, disregard that question. In any case, it's nice to see you again! If you even remember me at all.

Anyway, uh...Ruskin I'm not sure if you should try eating them. They don't seem like they would be very tasty...

[voidedrogue]

[ Roxy actually laughs at the goo-d joke THAT'S HILARIOUS OKAY in a horribly dorky way. She has a bloober on her shoulder, just casually bloobering around. ]

I've been calling them gummies. Or jellies. Or squishers. I'm guessing they're not a normal poké? They're hella cute though, they can stay forever.

video;

[ghostytrainer]

They were calling them Bloobers on the news. Jellies is cute though, I like it.

[He pinches the cheek of the one in front of him.]

I sure hope they do stay forever though! I'll be really upset if they're gone come Monday or something stupid like that.

[gardentrainer]

John! Aren't they the cutest things!???? I caught two, but now I definitely need to get a water type or else I can't keep them out. [And that would be so sad.] They're so jiggly and adorable. I love it.

[They are also currently all over Jade's hair. Her hair is a monstrosity right now. Who knows if she'll be able to get that stuff out of it.]

[ghostytrainer]

They remind me off super slimy jell-o jigglers. [John giggles and tickles his Bloober.] At least water types aren't hard to find! I could even lend you one of mine for a while if you want.
