[By now, you've probably seen it. It started on a teenager's Instantlergram, and then migrated over to Chatter, Timbr, and you might have even seen a video or two on your For You Page on Joltiktok about it. The Daily Dottler ran an article about it sourced by no one.

About what? About how the hot new band Chicken Choice Judy was recently "caught in the wild" at a child's birthday party dressed head to toe as giant torchics.



And the internet, as it often does, has been having a field day with it:

"guess there's one entertaining thing at my brother's dumb party. #chickenchoicejudy #torchic #canileavenow" - Original Poster MimiKissyKyuutie

"cake is very bad for torchics this is completely irresponsible" - Chatter user badbreedertipsonly, famed meme account.

"what the heck is a chicken anyway" - Timbr user newgearhoothootdis, followed by hundreds of replies of increasingly bad guesses.

"this isn't news, call me when the torchics kiss" - Joltiktok user luvdisco, with a filter that adds sparkles to the picture and a music clip that seems to be Celine Brionne's My Heart Ball Will Go On played badly on a Pokéflute.

And so on and so forth. So it probably isn't a surprise when Ryan pops up after a day or so of this.]

hey so

i get how things go on the internet but how do you take them off

like forever

is just deleting the whole internet an option, or...?

you know, for no reason whatsoever.

[Except you know exactly what reason it's for. Because everyone in all of Johto and Kanto has seen it somewhere recently.]

That's lucky with how much you invested in us.

[It would kind of suck if Marik had spent all that money on instruments then turned out not to even like their music.]

[thetombkeeper]

Even if I didn't like it, I'd still support you guys. You're getting to do what you enjoy and have a passion for.

[outofsynth]

Yeah, thanks to you. We owe you. You definitely aren't obligated to support us more than you already have.

[thetombkeeper]

I know.

If you really feel like you owe me then all I ask is for you and Ryan to enjoy yourselves.

[outofsynth]

We do! Even the Torchic birthday party wasn't all bad.

[Mostly bad. But. There were some fun parts.]

[thetombkeeper]

I'm glad to hear it.








The cake looked really good. What flavor was it?

[Because that's important.]

[outofsynth]

[Well. That gets a much needed laugh from him, so that's something.]

Just a regular vanilla sponge. I bet you could get it from a normal grocery store. Kind of weird since the kid's dad was loaded, but I guess it was Torchic shaped.

[thetombkeeper]

[That's good.]

Huh. I've never actually paid attention to what shape cakes store sell. But that is odd it wasn't more extravagant if he went to all the trouble to make a themed birthday party.

[outofsynth]

Maybe he blew all the budget on other stuff. He did pay us a lot of money. That's why we didn't ask many questions until we got there.

Plus everything else was ridiculous. The party favours were probably more expensive than some kids get for their own birthday.

[thetombkeeper]

Maybe. At least you got paid well for it. I'd be considerably more upset if you weren't.

Also what are party favors?

[outofsynth]

Yeah. So would we.

[He says, as though they aren't both obviously upset over this.]

They're gifts you give out to people who come to your party. It's more common with kids, but those favours are also usually super cheap.

[thetombkeeper]

I see.

[This is embarrassing to ask...]

Is that a North American thing or just... standard for birthday parties in general?

[outofsynth]

[Maybe not so embarrassing because...]

I don't know.

[thetombkeeper]

Oh.

Guess it doesn't matter too much, right? If you don't plan on having giant birthday parties.
