VIDEO

Hey guys!

[Anna is sitting at the desk in the hotel room she and Chloe share in Ecruteak; there are sights and sounds of Pokemon playing and eating in the background, which indicates that she's got her whole little pokéfam out of their balls for the night and roaming free. Occasionally, her Sawsbuck roams past, antlers in full leafy bloom for summer. On her lap in the desk chair is her newly-hatched Purrloin kitten, who is swatting playfully at the gold medallion around her neck as she speaks. Anna also has a snazzy new haircut for summer!]

I've been having such a good time traveling that I nearly forgot you can make posts on this thing, geez! Anyway. I have a super, super important question for you guys.

What's the best meme, in your opinion?

[Clearly she's been spending too much time with Chloe.]


ACTION: Bell Tower

[Anna's first day as a helper at the Bell Tower has been...less than spectacular. Nobody told her, for example, that this was supposed to be a "quiet place" for "reflection" and that "no singing on the job was allowed"! She feels like she's been yelled at by monks nonstop for the past four hours, and when she went to take her lunch break, one of them informed her with a stony face that she probably should collect her pay and go.

Which leaves Anna, pink-cheeked, shouting at the closed door to the tower, broom still in-hand.]

Oh, yeah? Well...you guys are all rude! And no fun at all! Besides, who wants to get paid to—to sweep and get yelled at by stuffy old people! Nobody!

[It's fine, she's fine. She's just never been fired before, and she's not...handling it well.]

Um....I have a question.

What's a meme?

[rediscover]

Oh! That's a very good question! It's kind of like a big inside joke among a bunch of people! It can be a picture, or a video, or just a joke. But it's usually pictures from what I've seen so far!

[awomanoutoftime]

Ah, that explains it. Pictures are rare where I'm from.

Inside jokes I get though.

[You don't work for a place like the Railroald without having a lot of inside jokes. Mostly everyone there is slightly insane, herself included.]

[rediscover]

Oh! Me, too, we don't have photographs or anything yet so everything has to be painted back home!

[pikapikajankenpo]

Best American Meme? I'd say anything that involves cats.

Japanese memes are a lot different than American and International memes in general.

[rediscover]

Ooh, I haven't seen any cat memes! Well, maybe some Meowth ones...

What are memes like where you're from, then?

[pikapikajankenpo]

Yeah Meowth ones are pretty notable. Although there's some Litten ones I've seen around.

Well they're more wordplay than anything else. Puns and the like.

[rediscover]

Ooh, like...

[She lowers her voice and does her best grumpy face:]

Bring me that report...Right Meow!

[shiro2hero]

A... meme?

Define meme?

[rediscover]

Oh! Ha, no worries, I just learned what they are not too long ago, too!

A meme is a funny joke or picture that people say over and over again! Like a big inside joke among a whole bunch of people. Liiiike...

[She pauses a moment to send Shiro a picture.]

Like this! It's one of my favorites, haha!

[shiro2hero]

Oh. So it's a Lance joke...

[Then he opens that picture. Then he opens it, stares at it. Oh boy, good thing he wasn't drinking.]

[Because Shiro just straight up loses his mind laughing.]

Is that -- Is that Ford?

[rediscover]

[Anna can't help herself; she dissolves into giggles, barely hidden behind the hand pressed to her mouth.]

Yup! The one and only! My girlfriend made that, isn't it funny?

[icecastlemadonna]

Hmm...I remember one meme about this rabbit named Oolong, whose owner trained him to balance things on his head. I remember seeing a lot of pictures of him, and they were pretty cute!

[rediscover]

Oh, that sounds so cute! I wonder if I could train my Bunnelby to do that...?

[icecastlemadonna]

You probably could! If someone could train a bunny to do it, then a Pokemon could probably do it, too.

Unfortunately Oolong passed away a while back, but I still see pictures of him floating around from time to time.

[rediscover]

...Oh! How sad. At least he made people smile while he was around, though, right?

[Oh girl, you are speaking Lance's language. He is the spiciest meme lord. At least in his head. It's always in his head.]

The dankest of the dank memes.

[rediscover]

[.....Huh???]

Um...I don't get it!

[spacebaloney]

[Wow, you're breaking his nerdy heart here, Anna.]

What do you mean you don't get it? Haven't you ever seen the evil self meme before?

[rediscover]

[Pretty sure you'll live, bud.]

No, I haven't! I must be really missing out, huh???

[forsaintcecilia]

Oh! I really like this one! It cracks me up!

[Mostly because he's a trumpet player, and he knows from personal experience that he really is that obnoxious sometimes.]

holy fuck the cowboy bebop one

[rediscover]

[By the time Anna replies, she's mostly breathless from laughing, wheezing a little and fanning herself for air.]

—oh my gosh. Oh my gosh, that's so—that poor girl! Ha! That's, that's a good one, thank you!

it's so perfect for kazuki it's almost creepy

[forsaintcecilia]

You're welcome! Sometimes I get stuck in Poketube holes like this one, and suddenly I've been spending two hours watching Meowth freak out over cucumbers...

[worstfieldtripever]

Whaaat? How's anybody supposed to answer that question. Asking someone their favorite meme is like... asking somebody if they prefer breathing or eating. You just can't pick! But I mean, I can't resist a good yeet, so...

[rediscover]

Ha! I know, right? It's suuuuch a hard decision. [Anna's eyes light up.] Is that the one where the girl throws the soda can???
