[Video - 002 | On route 130] - Backdated to the 16th

[He'd read up on eevees. He'd done a lot of reading. He'd looked into all the different evolutions and had set his sights on trying to turn Gongaga into a Jolteon. It just seemed like a good route to go.

Cloud would have accomplished this were it not for the fact that his little eevee had grown extremely attached to him...and then learned a fairy move when it leveled up next.

Cue a slightly irritated blonde coming over the network holding a rather pleased looking Sylveon in the crook of one arm, the fairy-type's fleshy tendrils wrapped around Cloud's arm as it nuzzles against him.]

...I have a feeling this evolution is suppose to be cute but it's kind of unnerving.

[Gongaga chirps happily at him, peering up at him with absolute adoration in it's eyes.]

There's no way to change him back, is there?

[He knows the answer but a part of him is holding out hope, okay.]

Eeeeeugh, it's got tentacles comin' off its neck. That's just all kinds of wrong if you ask me.

[Okay maybe tentacles wasn't the right word but it's the one he thought of and he's not taking it back.]

[Fleshbows for everyone!]

Tell me about it. It's worse because he likes grabbing my arm with them.

[His voice is dry but he's definitely freaked out by it.]

[fehcatsap]

He's not doing anything to you with those, is he?

[Josuke has already decided never to get one of these, but at the same time he's got to know how deep the rabbit hole goes.]

[notachocobo]

Doing anything...what would he be doing, exactly?

[Let's explore this rabbit hole together, Josuke.]

[fehcatsap]

Well, the obvious thing would be draining blood or some crap like that, but it couldn't be that simple if you're not feeling it.

[What's subtler... some kinda virus? But then why would it do that repeatedly?]

[notachocobo]

.....

[Could Gongaga be trying to drain his lifeforce or something? He knew that was a thing with his Honedge but was it the same with Sylveons as well?]

If he's doing anything, I haven't felt it. So I think I'm alright.

[fehcatsap]

But what if he's messing with your head? So you like think you're alright but actually nothing's right at all.

[He knows the Psychic type exists, but Josuke figured that was more knowledge-y than emotion-y.]

[notachocobo]

I don't...I'm traveling with someone else. I think he'd notice too.

[Unless Sylveon was just that powerful.

Great. Just great.]

[fehcatsap]

[Great, indeed.]

'Course, it could just be in love with you. A really creepy, tentacle-y love...

[It wouldn't even be that weird compared to another quasi-couple he knows.]

[notachocobo]

[Insert a dry look here.]

I don't think he's in love with me.

[Except that Sylveon sure is looking at Cloud with hearts in it's eyes.]

video;

[fehcatsap]

Nah, I can see the hearts.

[More hearts than he and Crazy Diamond combined wear?]

[...No, but it's close.]

[notachocobo]

[Cloud frowns a bit but, honestly? It looks more like a pout.]

He's just friendly. Overly friendly.

[fehcatsap]

What, you don't wanna trust the guy that wears a heart on his chest about love?

[He'll pan down towards the... yes, the gold-plated heart ornament on his chest. Really, Okuyasu might have been able to tell even better, though.]
