video -> then text

[shiro2hero]

[The first part of the post is a candid video. A candid video courtesy of Shiro's Gallade, Blue, who apparently refuses to do anything that won't terminally embarrass his trainer. In this case, the camera peers around a doorframe, into the Island House bathroom.]

[Where the ... "illustrious" space dad, with his towel ensemble, is hopping around on one foot, yelling. Clearly irate, but not at the Gallade.]

[There's a blue tentacle coming out of the bathtub. Wrapped around his ankle. And tugging.]

I'm allowed to take a bath, Coran-!

[More hopping, more shouting in indignation. Some upset gurgling from the tub. And, you know, Blue the Gallade snickering.]

[The feed cuts there, only for Shiro to post a text later:]

Does anyone want an Omanyte????

Or know how to kick one OUT of your tub???

asking for ME

[Gobo is confused, and maybe a little secondhand embarrassed for this guy, but overall the whole thing strikes him as delightfully silly, which Fraggles are all about. When he starts up his video feed, he's still snickering.]

Any idea why he wouldn't let ya bathe in peace?

He "lives there".

Usually I can get him out but today was... not my day, I guess.

[strikesachord]

[Alright, he'll be a sport and not add to any embarrassment, and switch to text now.]

He lives in the tub? What about his Pokeball?

[shiro2hero]

He lives in the tub.

I've never really been able to keep him in his ball. Not when there's so much room around here.

[... the last part, he may have called over his shoulder to the offending pokemon.]

[strikesachord]

Oh man, that's kind of rough.

But wait, I guess that means you're not traveling around?

[He'd assumed that - as he's been doing - Shiro was staying at an inn. But that sounds like he and his team are staying in one, rather spacious spot.]

[shiro2hero]

No, I'm not. Most of us aren't.

I finished the gyms a while back, and we've had this house for even longer.

[strikesachord]

Oh, I didn't realize that. I guess a lot of folks have been here for longer than me, which I knew! But I didn't realize how much longer it's been for some of you guys. Like you, for instance. How long ago did you get here?

I know you don't actually mean that, but Coran would always be welcome in my prehistoric Pokemon tank at the gym.

[shiro2hero]

I am seriously considering taking you up on that.

[schachmeister]

Maybe you can put him in there for a few days. Like a time out.

[Naughty crustaceans get to go into prehistoric baby jail.]

[shiro2hero]

... I'm liking the sound of this.

You'd really take him for a couple days?

text;

[schachmeister]

Of course. The tank is big enough, and who knows, maybe he'll like to make some friends with other prehistoric pokemon.

[shiro2hero]

You know what?

Take him. He'll be grounded for a few days until he learns we share the bathtub.

Re: text;

[schachmeister]

I'm going to pick up some groceries later, I can come and pick him up then. You just let me know when you want him back.

[angewiesen]

I saw something on cable the other night that started like this.

[shiro2hero]

I

I'm sorry, what?

[angewiesen]

Well, instead of a guy, it was a naked woman, and the tentacles just kinda came outta nowhere. And they were everywhere.

Yeah, the late night cable at hotels is amazing.

[shiro2hero]

Jean

Stop watching late night TV

Right now

[angewiesen]

Why not? It's educational. I had no idea the people here were that freaky.

[shiro2hero]

That's not the kind of education anyone should be getting.

Ever.

[angewiesen]

Oh, come on. Does nothing get you off? Are you really the bastion of self control you want everyone to think you are?

[well

He thought he was the king of embarrassing situations. Oop. Someone already made the comment.]

Dude

I am so sorry

[shiro2hero]

It's
fine

[It is not fine.]

He's getting a time out with Armin. Sorry you had to see that.

[zukeini]

You don't need to apologize for this stuff

Like ever


Ever

[shiro2hero]

When Blue films and posts it to the network, yeah.

Yeah I do need to apologize.
