> 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. ♥ ]

... Maybe he needs to play with some other Squirtles more.

[personal profile] kotatsu 2012-02-03 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah, I'm okay. [sob subject change nanako subject change-]

Um... It's nice that your Ninetales like him! Glitter didn't really like my Squirtle before at first, but I'm glad they're being friendly with him.

A sheep-herding pig is so cool! I never heard of that story, but I read one about a pig who was friends with a spider.

[He's been watching the baby's barking for a little while now, a brow raised and a hint of a smile that he just can't hide.]
 
Give it some time and it might start beathin' fire... Or you he could spend some time with Bobby, if you want?
[Bobby. The Other Father's inherited Blastoise.]

[He can say from personal sources that Dave's right, it doesn't really cause any damage- especially if it's been like that since the beginning.]

 
Think he'll be a fire-water type? [He's not being serious of course. Even he knows that it's an impossible combination.]

I don't know what the glub you were going on about, but i'm glad to see that the egg hatched healthily! And congratulations on getting your breeding licence, too!

[ SO MANY THINGS TO BE EXCITED ABOUT..... ]

[and then she leeeeeeeaaaans in close to the 'gear and lowers her voice.]

Don't tell Big Bro or anyone, but I kinda cried a little at the end...
foolishwren: like what if you tried to sue obama and you just got a letter back saying "no" and he came to your house and did the worm (can you even sue the president)

Man, that's gotta be awkward...

But then again, you never know. Maybe it'll never even occur to him.

[Her own MYSTERY EEVEE who seemed to have no mother except the motherly Noctowl she'd been hatched under never seemed to figure out the 'one of these things is not like the others' aspect.]
