009/video, sevii islands - Backdated to Fourth Wall

[ghoststanning]

[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.]

[There is a long pause as Ray genuinely worries that this is going to result in Venkman breaking up with him.]

Well uh

If it helps, I'm trying to save their lives?

[Ugh he can't even bring himself to use emojis with this.]

[There's absolutely no chance of Ray getting dumped, of course. If Venkman can put up with 3+ years of Slimer- not to mention Slimer Jr, and Ray and Egon's affinities for Pokemon Venkman finds personally disgusting- he can tolerate some bugs for the sake of, y'know, the man he's been in love with for over fifteen years.

This does not mean that he's gotta be happy about it.]

it does not.

im not even sure if pokemon can really die. this dimensions so goddamn weird about death anyway.

also what the hell are you planning on doing with all of them. because we're not keeping fifty caterpillars. dont even think about it

[ghoststanning]

Aww Venkie...

Winston and I decided that we would drop them off in one of the ice caves. If we do any traveling I don't think I'd be able to keep all of them nice and cold anyway 😟

Promise you won't break our engagement over this? 🥺

[neverstudied]

good. how soon can you get them outta here?







i would never. ive been waiting a decade and a half to marry your dumb ass do you really think this is what'd break me

[You know what that means, Ray? No consequences for anything! Be as stupid as you like.]

[ghoststanning]

Well I need to say goodbye to them first 😥😥

You really mean it Pete? Even if I bring in a million baby bugs? 🥺

[Is that a question or a challenge?

[neverstudied]

then hurry up and say goodbye we dont have all day

and dont push your luck.

[The answer is yes. But Ray really shouldn't try unless he likes the idea of Venkman physically moving out and living in another hotel for the rest of the month.]
