> Dave: Indulge species identity confusion.

[ Those in and out of Dave's room at the Otherhouse may have noticed that his entourage of Ninetales have been coddling a bright blue Squirtle egg. Still luckier individuals may have been around earlier today to witness the egg hatching, and the three Ninetales happily grooming their new friend.

Now some hours later, it has become apparent to Dave that there are certain... complications that may arise from allowing a baby Squirtle to imprint on a pack of full-grown Ninetales.

The feed comes on to the Squirtle, charging at a Ninetales on all fours. He's deflected with a flick of a tail, and goes scurrying over to another fox that's lounging on the floor nearby. She gives him a lick for his troubles, while the third one looks on from the safety of Dave's bunk.

As the Squirtle takes another run-up at his opponent, he growls and... barks.

Dave turns the camera on himself. ]


So this is the real-life story of Babe, Pig in the City, or some shit. My Squirtle thinks he's a baby Ninetales, which is about the cutest fucking thing I've ever seen get done. I'm sure they're gonna have a bunch of awkward conversations when he gets older.

'Mom, why do I only have one tail? Where's all my fur? The other kids made fun of my shell!'

He'll grow up thinking his 'dad' had an affair with a hot Blastoise. His two mommies just swept it under the rug; they don't like to talk about it because it means admitting they couldn't keep him satisfied between the two of them. They drink a lot, and their husband's never home. They just assume he's found himself a side of Venusaur ass or something.

[ The camera returns to the floor, where the Squirtle is being held firmly under the front paws of the lazy Ninetales on the rug, who's giving him a thorough bath. ]

I also got my breeder's license yesterday, which is pretty much awesome. I've basically got the potential for a metric fuckton of badass fire-breathing fluffmuppets and not much else right now. Guess I'll have to expand my breeding stock or something.

[ Swinging the 'Gear toward himself again, he moves to turn it off before he remembers something. ]

His name is Kanye, by the way. Thanks, Fef.

[ ooc; action for Otherhouse residents welcome! he's just in his room. switch from trainer to breeder was okayed by the mods. ♥ ]

Well you're not supposed to cheat your quadrants, if that's what you mean. What's a marriage, though?

[ you have a matesprit to make little troll babbies for the mother grub, not to be ~together forever~! ]

Aw, hehe, but, uhh, it's pretty fun, the challenge stuff. But, yes, also a lot of hard work, that was a thing I also noticed about it.

[John is on he and Rose's shared bed on the opposite side of the room, currently engrossed in a game of Tetris on his 'gear. At the foot of the bed lay his Lopunny, Cherubi, and Swablu, all fast asleep in a pile.]

You know...it was adorable until you ruined it with that analogy. There are distinctly less fuzzy feelings in my chest now that I have visions of alcoholic Ninetales dancing in my head.

[she makes the tiniest of gasps, voice now just a little louder than a whisper]

Is that the one with the two doggies and a kitty trying to find their owners?
foolishwren: are they gonna skip a number or just go for it or what (what happens after kidz bop 68??)

Yep.

Oh no... I hated that part!

Well then I am proud of your poképarenting skills for not allowing that. The last thing we need are pokémon hooked on berry-booze or something. Because you know it just won't stop with Missy, pretty sure she could talk Fedora into drowning away his sorrows over the fact that Nosepass and Skitty can't breed.

[He pauses his game to look up at his poképile, reaching down and scratching Casey behind her ear.]

And I guess you're right. But as adorable as these three are, it's just not the same thing as a Squirtle who thinks he's a Nintales. [He closes the 'gear entirely, sitting up and swinging his legs sideways to sit on the edge of the bed.] How long do you think it'll be before he realizes the truth?

Well that just sounds weird! Is the hate platonic?

[oops late comment is late. But have a laughing Wally!]

Sounds like you've got enough material to make a Pokémon soap opera. Call it "La Tortuguita" or something, even if it's not in Spanish.

Because, seriously, that would make Johto TV worth watching.

Well, I was mainly going by memory. Not, y'know, experience.

No younger sibs, though, huh?
