Hopefully everyone is done wallowing in shame and embarrassment from that party enough for me to say that if I see mistletoe next year, I will fucking burn the place to the ground. Also, the adult Lalonde is not allowed to add her special "touch" to anything that might go into the bile sacks at any group function. Not that I don't appreciate the sentiment, but the end result was excruciating to watch.

Now that the official business is over, I've got a dilemma here. Obviously the first of the week, I'm going back towards Kanto. Big surprise, I know. What is surprising is that I don't know what I want to do. There are still four badges for me to get, but the question is... Do I just stay in Vermillion or Fuchsia until more tolerable traveling weather is in sight or just  keep going? I'm a little on the fence because it's fucking cold and I hate traveling in it.


[ Locked to Kanaya ]

Hey, is everything all right? I saw you leave the party, but didn't really get the chance to catch up with you.

[ /Locked ]

Oh, right. The Deino hatched yesterday. What the fuck is with these hyperactive hatchlings I've got recently?

Some will be. Some won't.

Leopold wasn't really needy. Static was just clingy. Lucy didn't want anything to do with me. So hey. It just varies.

[wontturntostone]

Oh that's right, I wanted to ask...do you name all your pokemon after humans?

[voice | Private]

[usedshooshpap]

Romcoms are romcoms.

[voice | Private]

[wontturntostone]

Oh right, your movies. I guess that makes sense.

[voice | Private]

[usedshooshpap]

It really is the easiest way to go about it.

[voice | Private]

[wontturntostone]

The only similar example I have would be my books but I'm not...really certain I would wish to use those names.

[voice | Private]

[usedshooshpap]

Why not?

[voice | Private]

[wontturntostone]

Most of them are rather elaborate. And if I'm being perfectly honest with myself, kind of silly.

[voice | Private]

[papshooshing]

Elaborate is fine. Some people name their beasts some pretty far out there shit.

[voice | Private]

[wontturntostone]

Yes, but I think I will have to come up with my own system.

Not one taken from something else.

[voice | Private]

[usedshooshpap]

I, uh... Have to warn you about something.

[voice | Private]

[wontturntostone]

Hmm?

[voice | Private]

[usedshooshpap]

Gamzee's decided he wants to come along...

[voice | Private]

[wontturntostone]

[There's a little pause.]

Why?

[voice | Private]

[usedshooshpap]

He asked if I wanted him to come with. Told him to do what he wants, which he always will.

[voice | Private]

[wontturntostone]

I see.

[voice | Private]

[usedshooshpap]

He says he won't start shit. I'd like to think you're above that sort of thing too.

[voice | Private]

[wontturntostone]

[She huffs softly.]

It is frustrating that we just let these lunatics wander around, Karkat.

[voice | Private]

[usedshooshpap]

Kanaya, he can't actually do that much harm.

[voice | Private]

[wontturntostone]

Gamzee never needed to be armed to hurt someone.

[voice | Private]

[usedshooshpap]

Here is not the meteor.

[voice | Private]

[wontturntostone]

No. Here we are all less able to defend ourselves.

[voice | Private]

[usedshooshpap]

Which way would you have it, Kan? Him running off on his own or within our sights?

[voice | Private]

[wontturntostone]

I...am not certain.

I will deal with it if I have to.

[voice | Private]

[usedshooshpap]

I am really sorry, Kanaya.
