[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?]

How many can you even keep, isn't your roster almost - oh, right, the house.

[ She...FORGOT ABOUT THAT... ]

...Is Rose all right with keeping that many?

Bingo, the house.

[Houses are great.]

And...come on, who can say no to this face? [He turns the Bloober around so it's facing the camera, squishing it a little and eliciting some cute little burbles.] Who wouldn't want at least a couple of them around the house?

[Most people, John.]

Speaking of, I'll be heading back in the next few weeks! With Roxy, of course.

[ SHE WON'T LIKE...ABANDON ROXY HERE... ]

In time for the twenty-fifth! ...How many Bloobers are you going to have by then?

Only time will tell how many Bloobers I'll have. At least one, I mean I already caught this one.

[Just the one in front of him, apparently. All the others are just...his slimetourage or something.]

But yes, good. Don't leave Roxy behind that would suck if she pissed the party. Plus, I'm sure Jane and everybody will want to see her.

Ooooh, what did you name him?

[ IS IT A PUN.

If it's not a pun she disowns you. ]

Well, of course! Why wouldn't I want her there? ...And, well, why would I leave her in Cerulean? Because I totally made it past Mt. Moon this time!!

[ why is this an accomplishment ]

Still working on that part, actually. Mostly because I'm...not sure if it actually is a him. I'd hate to give it a boy's name and then find out later it's a girl, you know? Or vice versa.

[Of course it's going to be a pun, come on. It has to be with as many slime jokes as he's been making today.]

Holy shit though, it's a miracle, Aradia Megido actually made it out of Pewter! And it's not a holiday!

Aren't there unisex names that you use? At least, the baby naming books I've browsed have suggested as much.

[ ..............

For Pokemon names.

Also, she sticks out her tongue. ]

Well! I suppose finishing up the badges would make sense...before I look into getting a house or anything, I mean.

Well...yeah, there are but...

[...]

Okay I just having come up with an appropriately witty enough slime-based unisex name yet. There, I said it.

Might not be a bad idea though. Not that you really need the badges...how many do you have, anyway?

Do you have witty slime-based gendered names, then?

As to badges...I have the full Johto set plus Pewter.

Sure. If it's a he I could call him Doctor Egoo Spengler. Maybe Egoop? Egoop could also work there. A girl could be Slimerella or Anjellyca.

You're doing pretty good though. Have you been doing the elite challenges in Kanto?

Have you been thinking about this for very long, John?

[ BECAUSE THAT'S QUITE A FEW NAMES THERE... ]

Well, yeah. I mean...at this point it would be a little unfair not to.

Eh, on and off for the past few hours.

[AND YET HE LIKES NONE OF THEM.]

Good though. Because you definitely need to beat Blue's elite team. We all need to go on a cruise together at some point and the more of us who have the free passes for that, the better off we'll be.

[ what a good use of your time there john

a goo-d use, even

get it ]

Oh, I can prioritize that one next time I'm in Kanto after this, then. Although I think we can afford to buy passes for anyone without them at this point.

[ like just among the ones who have been there a while and who have money they...don't do a lot with

literally aradia rarely buys anything of note, and yet she works regular hours and has the breeding centre, it just sort of accumulates over time ]
