video, at the end of october

[friendlyflower]

[A weird, half-dead sunflower seed with dilated eyes and sweat rolling down its shell appears, shouting at you from the clinic.]

THE VOTE IS CLOSE!!!!!!! VOTE FOR UMBREON NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[He grabs the Grumpearl with a vine.]

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT VOTING FOR LURANTIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nurse Chansey from the clinic visibly tries to wrestle the Grumpearl away from him. He shouts various curses that Emporio taught him. You may or may not have a headache now.]

um. is that Sunkern ok.
or.
no, you know what, he's clearly *not* ok right now, but is he *going* to be?

and what did Umbreon do to him that he's so frantic about this?

[ The words are tinged with a flicker of alarm. ]

[consequerer]

More likely he is simply delusional from going some place he shouldn't have, and now suffering the consequences for it.

[ They were just talking about the oncoming cold weather last month. What possessed a plant to decide to wander straight into the depths of winter straightaway not long after expressing concerns about it? ]

[improvking]

that is a singularly ominous explanation, good job.

[ ...Since he suspects the ominous nature was fully intended, ]

[consequerer]

Thank you. I am glad to hear that. Cultivating the proper tone can be quite the important skill.

[ Yaaaay the ominousness is second nature now! ]

[improvking]

oh, you've been *cultivating* it, have you?

well that's paid off, it comes off as very natural.

[consequerer]

[ Playfully: ] A narrator must be able to describe and convey events possessing a certain gravitas properly, don't you think?

[ could you imagine some dramatic final boss encounter, but it's all TTS. ]

[improvking]

it's true, presentation is a central aspect to any performance. always good to see someone dedicated to their craft.

Sweet Mac Lir, I think that was Flowey? Just what did Umbreon do to him?

[Dolly had the misfortune of attempting the Grumpearl again, thinking that the first time was just a hiccup and isn't normally like that. Ahahahaha! Dolly your luck with that Pearl at times.]

[improvking]

Flowey? so you know him?

[ Despite them both having arrived relatively early on in the days of arriving-offworlders, the Ring-Spirit has not yet run into Flowey. Or at least, that's what he thinks at first, but on scouring his memory... ]

oh, I think he once used the grumpearl network to announce he wished death on everyone in the Bay.

[ And then spent a lot of time trying to deny the fact he was feeling any sort of personal distress while still clarifying that he was not threatening to kill everyone. ]

seems prone to melodrama. this probably isn't all that important.

[autumnrainrunaway]

I do, Flowey was the first Pokemon I met upon arriving here.

[ Oh dear, this sounds like kiddo's first internet presence to Dolly...this adds up big time with the melodrama and edgelord. Well teenager is gonna teen, at least that's what Dolly figures anyways. ]

Well..at least Flowey isn't using the Grumpearl network to spread conspiracy theories, that's a good bright side. Though he does look feverish enough to say some pretty wild things.

[ Dolly thinks for a bit as images of the surplus pierogis she ended up with for the game test run appears. ]

Would you like to go visit Flowey with me? Looks like he's at the clinic here and I ended up with too many pierogis so I can take some along for the visit.

[improvking]

...
sure, why not. if he's going to be blaring random outbursts into my head intermittently, might as well meet him. I'll be outside, walk to the clinic with you.

[ Sure enough, Dolly will find the Mimikyu from upstairs waiting down at street level, woolly red scarf wrapped snugly around his false neck. ]

[autumnrainrunaway]

That sounds good to me, I'll see you outside too with some pierogis.

[It doesn't take Dolly too long to get ready to head on out and sure enough meets up with the Ring-Spirit outside. Dolly's fur has definitely got the fluff factor going for the colder weather as she carries a basket of pierogis.]

[Dolly offers a smile as her ribbon feelers handle the basket.]

Ready to go see Flowey? He really looked delirious earlier.

[improvking]

Mn.

[ His disguise's head bobs in agreement as he falls into step beside her. ]

So what's he like when he's not delirious? Just as loud, or...?

video;

[dunchies]

He'll be fine. He just does this sometimes.

[ At this point, he's not even mad. Just disappointed. ]

[improvking]

[ . . . ]

that is deeply concerning to learn, thank you.

[dunchies]

Yeah. [ Yeah... ] Once they put him to sleep, it'll be quieter. [ Oh. ]

1/2

[improvking]

[ ! ?? ... ]

2/2

[improvking]

[ ...Yeah ok yknow what actually he'll just. assume for now that the other means "knocked unconscious", but either way: ]

one can but hope and dream.

[dunchies]

[ Sighing... ]

At least he's not making a death threat to the whole Bay this time, so it could be worse.

[friendlyflower]

The first time was an accident!

[As if this makes it any better.]

[dunchies]

Flowey, that's... [ Definitely not helping. ]

There's other stuff you need to be doing right now!!

[ LIKE RESTING. ]

[edgewater]

[ parvati is still reeling from psychological torment via emo teen playlist. ]

Does blaring the sounds of people screaming and loud metal clashing happen to other people?!

[ well. it was a little catchy. ]

[dunchies]

Uhhhh...

[ what does she mean by that ]

Maybe that's... a Ghost thing? You're not still... you know...

[ HE IS DEEPLY CONCERNED. ]

[edgewater]

No, it wore off a few days ago, and that's not the point! I pick up the pearl to check what's up and suddenly Flowey blasts me with-- with-- THAT! [ a very frustrated groan. ]

Just me?

[dunchies]

Oh, that's good!

[ The first thing, not the second. He still feels kind of bad about that one. ]

Next time... just try not to show any weakness when he's in one of these moods. He really loves messing with people on these things.
