[There's a shot of the sky, the edge of a building, then Silk's foot. Finally, she turns the camera on herself, scratching at her cheek under her trademark red scarf.]

Okay, so I know it's just a knock-off, and the little monsters don't look the same at all, plus the names are kind of dumb but... I'm addicted. I don't even have the excuse of nostalgia since I'm from another universe! It still just... feels the same.

Maybe I already bought some of the stuffed toys.

Anyways, what I'm trying to ask is, is anyone else playing MonMon Walk? You'd better be on the zappy team.

...Also, if the devs see this, please make it so I can hatch eggs while I'm swinging. Please?

[There's a long pause, before Silk gives an awkward wave and shoots out a webline, the video cutting out just as she steps off the building.]

You know, it's a good thing you're not trying this back home because I *guarantee* you you'd run into somebody.

Are you saying I shouldn't MonMon and swing? I swear I'm a responsible webslinger.

I mean, I just don't get why you would go careening around the city a dozen stories off the ground on silk cables you shoot from your own fingertips and then think to yourself, "What is this missing? Oh yeah, staring at cute CG animals on my phone." Am I missing something?

MonMon Walk?

[lunaraneae]

Oh, uh... it's a game for your phone. You walk around and look for little monsters, then you catch them.

I swear it's actually fun.

...Little monsters, zura?

[Hi, yes, do explain.]

[lunaraneae]

It's based on a video game where you catch them and train them and they're your best friends so of course you make them fight other monsters to the death.

...Not to the actual death. But it felt like it when I was 9.

Sorry, everything on this post just turned to dribbling gibberish after I heard 'yellow' and not 'red' team.

[so, yes, she plays. and she has maybe used her inability to sleep to cause some middle schoolers deep emotional trauma by repeatedly stealing their gyms. only maybe though.]

The part about red team being ridiculously competitive might be true.

Unfortunately, I have to inform you that I chose blue. But it's quite a cute game, isn't it? Regardless of team choice...and careful brand avoidance.

How many have you caught? [ He's taken advantage of his long commutes from place to place to go walking. SO MANY EGGS ]

[lunaraneae]

Other people would tell you blue is for nerds and I'm going to say they're right.

I've caught about 80. The game doesn't let you catch things when you're too high up for some reason.

[ The red scarf brings Mikasa to Sasha's mind, so she stares silently for almost a minute before saying anything. ]

Er... MonMon?

[lunaraneae]

Mon is like, monster. And I guess saying it twice makes it sound cute?

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

I'm playing! Zappy team is best team, also I'm pretty sure I'm winning cause I have so many MonMons. [They're 98% Birdeys, but shhhhh nobody has to know.]

[lunaraneae]

Yeah! Always nice to meet another teammate. Your team must look pretty cool.

I saw it on the app store, but I didn't get what the fuss was about.

[ He only plays farm simulators, it's weird. ]

It's like a collector's game?

video;

[lunaraneae]

More like a walking app with some collecting built in. I've seen stuff on the news about people losing like, ten pounds.

Part of the appeal is the nostalgia.

There's no way they'll do it; it's the speed limiter. If they took that off I'dve hatched a billion eggs by now.

Anyway. Burny team superiority!

[lunaraneae]

I'll settle for the game letting me catch a MonMon from the top of a building. No way all these things have to be street level.

You red guys are pretty competitive.

[ Oh hey. That other Ananasi is still around, the one that isn't creepy. Supposedly? Probably? Actually, Nicolas wouldn't even know, but saving people rather than eating them already makes her less creepy than Saya. ]

Uh. If the connection would stop going out on me... [ Downside to being a magical werewolf, constant tech failure. ] That thing has teams?

[lunaraneae]

[The video isn't of Silk's face this time, but instead shows her shooting web out of her fingers as she replies.]

You unlock teams at... level 5? Doesn't really mean much besides fighting for arenas. Despite what the internet will tell you.

[What fresh mockery is this.]

MonMon? the imProcreat incident wasn't enough of a lesson?

text;

[lunaraneae]

Okay, but that was government created. And kind of creepy. This is pure capitalism and nostalgia.

I downloaded it when it came out, but every time I've tried to play it the server's been down.

[lunaraneae]

I think they fixed that recently. It's a lot better now.
