[ There's a pale, delicately built girl in the video, sitting in a park somewhere in Violet City with her bag at her side on a bench. There's two eggs that look like they're a couple of days from hatching, and an exasperated look on the girl's face as she holds one of the strings on a Drifloon.

On the other string is held aloft a cardboard sign that simply reads "I'M A MENACE TO SOCIETY" ]

Alright, two questions.

One: What do I even name this guy?

Two:

[ and she takes a deep sigh here ]

How do I get him to stop trying to drag toddlers into Hell?! I was trying to have a nice day out with my Pokemon and I've had to apologize to five parents already.

[ She's burying her face in her hands as she says this. She is deeply ashamed that this balloon does not play well with other children, okay. But as she's burying, the Drifloon looses himself from her grip, eyeing a nearby baby.

She manages to yank him fast enough, but holy fuck. ]

What the- NO!

[Ah, memories. He's 14 now so probably out of range of Drifloon targeting, but. Well.] I...if it helps they're probably not actually trying to go to hell...when I got picked up by a bunch of them before, they just wanted to play somewhere...

Which still isn't great, but at least it's not as bad...

I think the best you can do though is try to give them something to do. ...Maybe even a doll?

[bloodyroses]

Okay, that's actually like... A huge relief? Still probably going to piss off the parents, but whatever.

[ She sighs somewhat over-dramatically. ]

Time to check out a toy store or something, I guess.

[seacub]

It's definitely not something good either way... [Kidnapping is still kidnapping, even if it isn't to hell.]

...I think if you have another pokemon it might work better...they probably want someone to play with more than 'something', right..?

[bloodyroses]

I guess? I've only known this little guy for a couple of hours so if he doesn't get along with the rest of my Pokemon, I can just...let him go?

[seacub]

Oh-

[...The look on this kid's face is...pretty much exactly the look of someone who didn't actually remember that was an option.

...

And probably has a full few boxes for it.] Y...yeah, I guess that also works...You've only had them for a few hours though, really? Did you just catch them on the nearest route?

[bloodyroses]

Pretty much. I probably shouldn't be indiscriminately catching everything I see, but there's too many that look interesting, yanno?

it was a great time with the dice, a bad time for the pokemon list update after, oops

[seacub]

I definitely understand that...

There's a place called the Safari Zone where you can catch foreign pokemon through the day for a fee, and I didn't really think about things until it was too late...

[Half of these aren't even named.

What has he done...]

[bloodyroses]

Dude, it's fine. It's this world's fault for making everything so cool, damn it.

[seacub]

[That earns a laugh- an honest one at that.] A-hah..! I guess that's true, yeah..! I'm wondering if I should maybe release some of them now though, instead of leaving them in the PC like I was...

[bloodyroses]

I tend to switch most of mine around, have you tried that?

[seacub]

A little... [Though the tone makes it pretty clear that a 'little' is...well. A Little.]

I don't think it's enough to really give everyone time though...
