Oh my god... How can anyone want to stick around one place for longer than a few weeks when there's so much shit to get done? I've been settled in Vermillion for only about three weeks and I am already going absolutely shithive maggots. Maybe the best idea is to just blaze through those last few badges, I don't know. What I do know is that one way or another, I am getting the merry fuck on my way. Screw waiting for the weather warm up.

I think my Pichu is feeling it too because he's kind of sparking here and there. Is that normal? Like, my Ampharos when she was a Mareep had this problem, but what the shit do I do to avoid getting shocked this time around? It's not like I can just take care when brushing him! That and he thinks every damn thing is funny at the moment and it just sets him off! Right now it's a never ending spiral of shocking, what I think is giggling, and more shocking. Just make it stop, oh my god.

[ as if on cue, a little Pichu can be heard chiming in and an aggravated huff from a Zangoose. Karkat... he just groans. sighs... ]

Unrelated to all of the globetickling bulgehumps out there and my own trainer problems - which is to say that this message is only for those of my particular joint universes - where the blithering fuck is everyone? I just met up with Eridan a few days ago, but what about everyone else?

So um. There's a little bit of a problem.

I could ask Kanaya, but I thought... Uh...

We just got to Azalea! "We" being Sollux, Dirk, Jake and I. We're planning to hit Goldenrod by the time the convention starts, too, and then we're going linear, hopefully.

And about the pichu - apparently sparking has a lot to do with their communication? I've found letting them spark at another electric type tends to wear out the extra, and keeps them happier.

A problem? What's wrong? [[Karkat, don't tell her there's a problem. The worry is already etched onto her face.]]

Well, usually, if you get that giant stick out your ass it goes by a lot easier.

[Sollux is the certified master of lying around. While other people were out making fools of themselves at Halloween parties across the nation, he spent like three weeks on the beaches of Olivine. But at least he got a badge out of it, so he wasn't completely useless for all that time, right?]

And about the sparking... well, my Luxray does the same thing all the time, but I think that's just her. She gets unreasonably excited about battling and stuff, and sparks a lot then. But to be honest, not nearly as bad as that.

I think your Pichu is just high.

Perhaps you are not occupying yourself well enough. Reading is a good way to pass the time, should enough material be provided for you.

[Philip's pretty grumpy, himself. He'd rather have stuck around in Pallet, but Marlowe's got him on the move.]

As for the electrical shocks, it might be prudent to wear rubber gloves. Rubber does not conduct electricity.

Yes. That is quite normal. Vermillon's atmosphere creates one that's filled to the brim of static electricity. With electric pokémon, it riles them up a little more than usual. You make sure you have rubber gloves if you're going to touch your pokémon, obviously. Otherwise you're going to get shocked.

[ Lust really does have the best advice, right? ]

If you want, we could just spend a week and a half in the next location. Gives you time to rest up and we're still getting badges that way.
