[It's that time again, kids! Time for more public griping from Handsome Jack. Today he's facing the camera with...a handkerchief clamped over his nose and mouth? He's inarticulately cursing until he notices the 'gear has started recording.]

Does anybody wanna tell me what the shit this thing is supposed to be?

I mean besides an unholy assfaced abomination to every sense...

[Jack's extremely un-amused face is replaced by a shot - from some distance - of a shiny Stunky. It looks a bit agitated. Which probably has something to do with a cowering Doom Boner in the background, furiously scrubbing at his face with his paws. Every window in the living room appears to be wide open. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what just happened.]

A related question...how do you get the stink out?

Does it come out? I swear I'll sell this place if I have to, it smells like an ass stuffed full of rotten eggs exploded in here.

Ooh, how cute!

[Anthy is smiling bithely into her 'gear like a grown man didn't swear and isn't trying to salvage what's left of his olfactory senses. Part of her sentiment is genuine, because she can't find anything uncute or awful or gross about any Pokemon she's met so far - seriously, try her - but part of her is snickering internally. If only she'd had access to skunks at school...]

I don't know what that is, but it looks like a skunk. I think if you'd like to wash the smell off of your puppy, you'll need to give him a bath with...hm...tomato juice, I think?

[That's a myth Anthy. It doesn't actually work.]

[thedifferencebetween]

No. Not cute. Terrible.

It's not just DB that stinks! Everything stinks now! It was like...it was like a cloud of toxic gas some bio warfare geniuses whipped up...

Oh, yeah, bathing Doom Boner in something he can eat, that's gonna go well...

[rosehecate]

[Terrible? Oh boy. Hm. That's a strong opinion of an animal merely trying to defend itself. She's going to remember that.]

It can't hurt to try. What have you got to lose?

[Video]

[thedifferencebetween]

Patience, temper, sanity...

All of the above, really.

[Video]

[rosehecate]

Hmm. Those are important, I suppose.

[But it's still such a sweet little skunk. Even if he/she stinks to high heaven.]

But are they more important than your sense of smell?

[moneylogues]

Do I have to burn the house down, because I will burn the house down.

[He's.

He's probably joking.

But wow he doesn't appreciate anything about this situation, he hates this, he hates everything about this, he hates this horrible skunk monstrosity, why any of this.]

I never thought I'd miss having my helmet this much.

[thedifferencebetween]

That's like option D. But holy shitballs, we can't stay here. My eyes want to claw themselves out of my friggin skull. It smells like the Caustic Caves in here only worse! I would welcome that aroma of burnt piss nachos right now...

[moneylogues]

You sure? Because I'm leaning towards making it option A. I'm this close, swear to god. Those assholes didn't take burning shit away from us, I could totally do it.

[He just really hates this so much.]

Air filters were so nice. I was fucking blessed and didn't even know it, I'll never complain about my armor ever again, christ... [This is probably karma for all the bad shit they've done, but also karma can go suck a dick.] So what are you gonna do with that thing, like. Throw it in the ocean? It won't fix this, but at least we'll feel a little better.

[thedifferencebetween]

I like this place. I mean, okay, yeah, I've been thinking maybe we need something bigger and nice, but you can't sell scorched ruins.

Oh it's going back in its ball. Maybe forever. I mean...it'd probably clear a Gym out pretty well, so I'm not getting rid of it.

The Pokédex is telling me it goes away in 24 hours. If it's a closed space, you gotta open it all up and vent the air aggressively, so...Whirlwind I guess?

Then you're going to go to to the 'Mart and get:
1 quart/liter Hydrogen Peroxide. Someone has to sell it flat, or as a key component in Potions, right?
1/4 cup baking soda
1 teaspoon liquid soap (dish soap is fine, it's primarily for the lather).

Mix it all up in an open container (bucket) and scrub the victim with it while the mix is bubbling. Let it stand for about ten minutes and then rinse em off. Voila, problem solved. Provided that it's a similar chemical to mundane skunks. Hope that helps!

[thedifferencebetween]

Well at least it goes away. Okay, yeah, we got Pokemon around that can air out the place. Got all the windows and doors open and shit already.

I dunno, but I'll try it. I gotta do something or I'm gonna be dealing with my whole friggin bed reeking or DB wailing all night or being all pissed off 'cause I put him in his ball...

Spoiled little shit.

[usedstockpile]

I mean, I'm not sure how the Ball's work but if it's a small contained space, would you want to be stuck in it while smelling horrible?

I wonder if Pokemon Centers have a fix just laying around, or if their weird machines can handle it. Worth a try, right?

[thedifferencebetween]

He just hates being in there. He's...he's really clingy, he freaks out if he's not right with me, he's got hella abandonment issues.

Oh, yeah, go through the city smelling like this, like that won't get me driven out by an angry mob...

[brokencode]

Oh. Poor Doom Bob. [Sorry, Jack, she's at least a little amused with your plight. Not in a vicious way, at least.]

I am sure the Joys know of a way to get rid of the scent. They seem to know everything there is to know about Pokemon.

[thedifferencebetween]

It's his own damn fault.

That requires hauling this thing through the city. He'll stink up the whole friggin place!

[brokencode]

He wouldn't have gotten sprayed if you were in better control of your Pokemon. [Don't blame this on her poor Houndour friend.]

It is not his fault. He cannot help his natural scent, Dad. Besides, he's kind of cute. [No, Angel. No he isn't.]

[thedifferencebetween]

Angel, I wasn't even in the room when it happened. Best I can guess, my egg hatched, McStinkass there popped out, DB tried way too hard to make friends and I dunno about you, if the first thing I encountered on being born was that fat ball of smoke and slobber trying to jump on me, I'd probably freak out, too.

Just...not with chemical warfare out of my ass.

It's not cute. It has an ass for a face and it's friggin magenta.

[badluckbabe]

Wow, you either just got really really unlucky, or your luck is just getting higher depending on how things go after you get this first cloud of stink out.

Does the little nose ruiner have a name yet?

[thedifferencebetween]

Unlucky. This is very very unlucky. My whole house reeks!

Assface McStinkbutt.

[badluckbabe]

I mean...i've heard worse names.

Until you get the place aired out find something like a bandana to cover your face in and tuck something not awful under it so it's closer to your nose. I lived with a bunch of boys back home and when I got desperate even a car freshener thing was better then what they were putting out.

[thedifferencebetween]

It suits him. Her. Whatever it is, I dunno.

Yeah, no, I'm just gonna go stay at my boyfriend's vacation place and let nature take care of this problem.

guess whose back to make fun of you?

[keep_surviving]

Your boyfriend's not gonna like you stinking out his place.

[thedifferencebetween]

Excuse you, this is my place. He lives with me.

[keep_surviving]

Oh yeh. I'm sure that's true.

[thedifferencebetween]

So did mommy and daddy just always lie to you as a kid, or what? Never got over Santa not being real? I just can't figure out your deal.

The house is in my name, I invited him to live me...I dunno. A while ago, I guess. I also invited the kid I look out for to live with me, it's what ya do when ya like hanging out with people and think of'em as family.
