[The feed opens to a hotel room that seems to be covered in weird white stuff. Ray is looking at the camera concerned while holding some of them and - oh my god he has so many Snom in this hotel room.

Ray looks over his shoulder, seemingly nervous, as he cuddles his armful of Snom.]

H-hey everybody, have you seen these guys? I've done some research on them and apparently they're called "Snom", a bug Pokemon that lives off of snow to live. I know it's been pretty snowy here lately but I'm in Sevii Islands, and this snow's gotta melt here soon. I'm worried that once it does these little guys are going to start or melt from the hot weather.

[A Snom crawls on his shoulder and gently boops him on the cheek.]

I can't have them die on me! I've been hoarding them here for safety but I don't know how I'm gonna feed them all! So if anyone knows how to create a snow machine quickly so that these guys can eat, I would really like that.

[He looks away for a moment, and then awkwardly looks back at the camera.]

And... could you guys not tell Peter about this? He doesn't like bugs so I really don't want him to find out about this. Thanks.

[He did not lock this video away from Venkman.]

Look, uh, I ain't gonna say nothin' to him? But let me give you some advice.

When Connor was here, he was hell-bent on having bird pokemon despite knowing that I wasn't fond of them. It didn't matter how much it stressed me out. Imagine not liking birds and living with a cranky Swanna. It wasn't great.

You should be honest with him and make sure he knows his comfort comes first, but you'd like him to give you a chance because you've gotten attached.

...Those barely look like bugs anyway, if that's any consolation.

[There is a brief pause before he speaks up.]

Gee, I probably shouldn't tell you about Slimer then, should I?

[Aka "Yeah I took in a gross slime monster as a pet despite my partner hating his guts and I continue to have zero regrets."]

Actually they remind me a bit of jewel caterpillars! Except bigger and made out of ice, of course! They're absolutely adorable but I know how Peter can be with Roach and I don't want him to even think about being rude to these babies.

Come on, man. Look at it this way. If someone did something you didn't like, you made it obvious you didn't like it, then they did it again saying 'he got over it last time'? You'd feel pretty cranky about it.

Just, you know, talk to the guy about it at least.

They're kinda cute though, right. [Hank is not afraid of bugs. Not unless they get in his hair. That is not a place for bugs to be. Otherwise he's pretty fine with them.] Never heard of a jewel caterpillar.

Hey, it's not like the bugs are even half as bad in his eyes than Slimer! At least they won't drench him in ectoplasm.

[Sorry he's very stubborn about this.]

I can't say I blame you for never hearing about them though! They aren't the most common type of moth. They typically metamorphosis into a fuzzy orange moth, but obviously there's a lot of variation too!

Yeah, but what's more important to ya. The bugs or your buddy? Because everyone can fuckin' like Elvis and the Beatles but eventually you might be called on to say, 'Well this one's got priority.'

I don't mind bugs so long as they're not pests in my house, but yeah, I don't know all that much about 'em. What do these turn to?
