prank #52 | video
[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?]

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;
You guys! You and Rose! [Duh.]
But okay, I can handle no peanuts. Me and Jane are gonna make stuff tomorrow for Valentine's. Since handmade chocolate is what you're supposed to do for this, and Jane actually knows how to make it, so...
I'll send you a message tomorrow to let you know when they're done!
video;
[He slaps himself in the forehead.]
Rose is even less picky when it comes to chocolate than I am. Buuut, she likes milk chocolate the best.
Incidentally though, when you say Jane, do you mean Jane Crocker? Because if so, I'm glad to hear that the two of you are getting along!
video;
Yeah, Jane Crocker. [And when she smiles at the mention, it's more than a little obvious that this is probably the happiest she's been since before December.] I'm going to teach her how to fight in return for her showing me how to bake stuff. That seems fair, right?
video;
Hehe, I'd definitely say that's fair. You're a weapons master and she's a...spatula master? Whatever, she's amazing in the kitchen, basically.
video;
[ANYWAY she realizes after a second that she probably looks really silly so it's time for a topic change.]
So about these Bloobers. Guessing your Pokédex is broken, too?
video;
Yuuup. Broken or in need of an update or something like that. It's not telling me shit about them. I'm kind of inclined to believe it's the latter since it seems like everyone is having the same problem.
video;
An update, huh...? You mean like it's a whole new species of Pokémon?
[Her eyes brighten.]
I've got to learn all about them, then! I just wish they weren't, so...
[Maybe she's been spending too much time talking to John, because she lifts both hands and wiggles her fingers as if to indicate what she's trying to say before giving up and just saying,] Gooey.
video;
[Oh no. Tenten, no. Clearly you're talking to John too much you need to stop before you catch more goober cooties.]
Well look on the bright side. They may be gooey, but at least they aren't...acidic gooey.
[...otherwise this post would have included a hell of a lot more pained screaming.]
video;
But if they were acidic, could you imagine what you could do with them?
[Or maybe not. She looks kind of scary-excited about that.]
Imagine throwing them at stuff!
video;
Also, you wouldn't be able to do this.
[He pulls the one in front of him into a tight hug, prompting a wet little squeak and making it momentarily resemble one of those squishy stress toys.]
[...also causing John to get even MORE slime on him, oh boy.]
video;
[She flails a little with the hand not holding the 'gear as her jaw drops.]
Rose isn't going to let you back in the house at this rate!
video;
[ROSE CAN'T KEEP HIM OUT OF HIS OWN HOUSE.]
Also it's not gross, I highly recommend hugging your Bloober. You do not know joy until you've hugged it at least once.
video;
[She sticks her tongue out in disgust.]
I think I'll pass. If I decide to catch one of them, I'll send it to you for hugs.
video;
[Just by looking, most people would probably think that Rose is the neat freak and John is the slob. This could not possibly be any further from the truth.]
You could always wrap it in saran wrap if you're really that scared of getting gooey!
video;
[John that was the wrong thing to say. She's going to have to find a Bloober and hug it half to death now just to prove.]
Just you wait, I'll catch one and train it into the strongest Bloober anyone's ever seen!
video;
[Gurl, this boy knows his slime, okok?]
video;
[She's going to lose it'll be embarrassing.]
video;
[It ok, Tenten.]
