Hello there.

I saw you were looking to re-home a Dhelmise?

[hellablue]

[Oh, hey. That was faster than expected. Chloe hadn't thought there would be a big market for ghostly anchor. Not in a mean way, just.. it's very niche.

In a weird way, she feels a pang of guilt now that someone's taken her up on it. Not because she's changing her mind, but all things considered Dhelmise had been an alright addition to the team. It's just her own fault for catching it in the first place for all the wrong reasons.

Those are memories she's gotta just let go of.]

yo
yeah im looking to pawn it off on somebody
not for any big reason so dont worry it doesnt have the plague
or anything like that lmao

anything u wanna know about it?

[toxicodendron_isley]

Well, I'd be happy to take them off you hands. I have a great interest in Grass types.

I suppose there's the basics. Their given name. Level. Any eggs or taught moves. A personality quirk I should know about.

They are genderless, correct? Do they have a preferred pronoun that you know of?

video | february 15, at like 3am because these two never talk during daytime hours

[meteorman]

Chloe. I have something very important I need your input on.

[Ford is sitting in his hotel room. Bug Zapper is out, scrunching around on the bed next to him. Even though he let the little cube out of the PC from time to time in the same way that he checks in on all of his Pokémon, it's still been a very long time since he actually picked up the Charjabug. It deserves to be allowed out and about.

Chloe might notice she has a certain image file suddenly on her gear, being terrible.]

I believe you are supposed to 'tag yourself'?

[Sweet jesus he's trying]

it's because they can only talk during the Stoner Hours

[hellablue]

[boy it's always so awkward when old people try to meme, but honestly she has to cut him some slack because this is hilarious af. The only part she's iffy on is the fact he's, uh, on video. It's fine. She can forgive it this once. It's fine.]

Oh shit. Jaws of life, definitely!

[There's a pregnant pause]

I bet we both know which one you are, huh? Oh- also, usually... people text when they send each other memes. It's less awkward that way, y'know, in case the other person doesn't find it funny. And also just less awkward.

Obviously I am Mr. Grizzles.

I admit the use of video over text is one of my biases. Much of my exposure to such technology was in universes where video communication is the norm.

[And it's the norm here too, actually, from what he's observed. It's kind of neat.

Bug Zapper skoonches over to him and attempts to burrow into his coat, presumably to find some of that hard candy he likes (as per meme law). Ford reaches down to pick him up with a soft admonishing sound, and maybe he squeezes a little too hard or maybe Bug Zapper doesn't like being picked up or maybe he just really wanted whatever was in Ford's pockets because suddenly the whole screen is full of flashing electrical discharge.]

[hellablue]

bro wtf

why havent we aLREADY BEEN doing this???

[fingersandteeth]

I cannot *believe* I'm having to prep a goddamn rap ahead of challenging his gym, just because Dirk Strider's gone mad with power.

[Fun fact about the bossman: when he trusts you enough, you start occasionally getting bitchy texts where he complains about random things like this.]

[hellablue]

[Good thing Chloe thrives on bitchy texts]

yo sorry WHAT
is
is rapping even a thing u can uh
do... well...?

Action for The Things

[strings_theory]

[There's not a whole lot that Jolyne is really great at when it comes to dealing with people. But one thing she's very good at, most of the time, is being perceptive when she actually gives a shit about the situation or people involved. Which is exactly why she'd become steadily more concerned about how weird Chloe had been acting as the conversation of wedding nonsense with Carly had been ramping up.

And, in typical Jolyne fashion, she'd merely told Carly the bare bones of what she was doing before dragging the far more level-headed the more logical of the two of them with her. Which of course had meant Jolyne's idea was to wait until her shift was over at the whole bar thing and cornering her the second she got the chance to and it not be totally and completely awkward to an outsider.

Even if that means the dingus thought it was a better idea to try and pin her to the nearest wall, enough room left between them but a very clear indication of her not getting out of this.]

Soooo, babe, I think we got some shit we need to talk 'bout and I know you're gonna wanna run. Only reason I'm playin' hard ball like this.

Backdated to 5/13

[fingersandteeth]

So. We won against the Elite Four, but we probably won't be home until mid-next week, because this weekend is our six-month anniversary and I promised Thace I'd take him to Mt Moon for it.

I'm trusting you and Scorpia to keep the Club going without us. If you need extra help, I'm giving you two permission to take on some part-timers. It'll give you and her practice at hiring for when we give you Fight Club, anyway.

That is, if you'd like to take it over?
