Hey, losers. This has definitely been one of the months I've had so far, but now I'm officially bored to death.

[There is a general air of malaise permeating this message, even if the voice of the Pokémon sending it—a gray-toned Mimikyu, currently stationed in what appears to be one of the Oran guild's dens—sounds casual and calm enough.]

At least one of you has to have a decent rec for how to kill time around here you can give me... Or just tag yourself. Whatever.

[At the words tag yourself, an image takes shape in your mind. It's astonishingly clear and will remain present in your head until your connection to this particular Grumpearl is broken.]

Later.

The red panda possesses toes.

I’m more like a stuffed animal version of a red panda. How many real animals have tags on their rear ends? It’s not the same!

[quirkynote]

And I'm like the dog version of a bird. You just don't like the idea of being wrong!! Does my identification as a bird really bother you that much? Have you ever considered that it brings me comfort?

[moondregs]

… okay, okay. If you want to be a bird, you’re a bird.

[ Fluffed up, though! Huff huff. ]

[quirkynote]

[Ah! Much better.]

Mhnhmhm~ See? Isn't it easier this way? Now we're both happy.

[telewarped]

Wait. You actually have a tush tag?

[moondregs]

[ Sigh. ]

Yes. Why would I lie about that?

[telewarped]

Oh. Em. Gee...

Well? Does it have your brand's logo on it or anything?

[moondregs]

No. It’s blank.

[telewarped]

Bummer. Now how is anyone gonna know you're legit when I sell you to the plushie collectors?
