☆68☆ [Video] - Surf Day

[tearsofademon]

[The feed turns on, and the scene is... a bathroom, which is kind of flooded. The bathtub is filled with water, and a certain recently-evolved homicidal starfish is chilling in there, pretty calmly for anyone who has ever seen Arius before, especially considering the sparkly Lumineon sharing the space. But that's not the flooded part. Honestly, that looks the most normal. The waves in there could be from the fish swimming around.

Everything else is soaked. Someone (cough probably Rose cough) apparently noticed the water acting funny and stopped up the sink to observe it (it's off now, but one gets the feeling it hasn't been for long), where a male Jellicent is cheerfully letting the waves lap at his tentacles, though the splashing keeps escaping the sink and making a mess on the floor.

And an Inkay has somehow managed to find its way into the toilet. It looks kind of lost and confused, itself.

Ryner just lets this scene sink in before addressing it, with the tone of someone who wouldn't exactly mind one of these days being able to say he's seen it all and mean it.]

Is... anybody else getting this? This whole waves in water that shouldn't have any thing, I mean. The mess is a pain, but it's manageable, but the waves...

Also this little guy came in through the toilet somehow? [indicating the Inkay] So, ahh, watch out, I guess.

You think so? I mean, if they didn't want to stay but didn't have a choice, I think that'd be worse...

Well, you're building a relationship right? I mean, if you had a cat that you adopted, and you let it come and go, that's one thing, but you do that with a dog it's gonna have problems.

It might be case by case, but if you told someone they can leave whenever they want, that kinda would make me feel a little bad. Like there isn't any feeling there at all, yanno? But again, I suppose it's case by case...

I guess if you see it that way... Aaargh, it's all so complicated.

Sorry, I didn't mean to make you question your methods or feel bad...

[He was mostly just thinking aloud.] Maybe if you just...have a want to make them happy that's good enough, regardless of what your philosophy is.

[tearsofademon]

That's what I try to do.

I just... ahh, I just don't want them to feel like they have to stick around even if things get really bad, y'know? It's been better lately, but when people stick around me... I'm kind of a walking disaster.

[Hanna knows how that is.

He'll just smile and nod.] It's...Kind of hard to shake off that feeling of people or- pokemon I guess, being obligated to stick around, right? I'm working on it. I don't have the best track record when it comes to being successful at most of anything either.

But I mean, if they're there? That means something...and I guess, even if it's hard, try not to discount that with your own issues. [He kind of laughs, shaking his head.] Man, I almost sound like I'm lecturing you, sorry man. That's not my usual, promise.

Heh, it's fine. ...And I mean, you're probably right. Rose has stuck around this long, so something must be going right, at least.
