video - this time it's actually dogs

[h2no]

[orange. that's all the video shows for a moment, before a muffled] Shit, it's on already! [can be heard. then the view shifts; showing archie with a huge orange paw in his lap, while blue can be seen every now and then just out of frame.]

Ya see this? [archie puts his hand under the giant paw and holds it up so the camera shows it off a bit better. the huge bear-dog it's attached to boofs gently in... pride, probably. thems big beans.] This kinda stuff, ya gotta learn to do for free where we come from.



[he shifts the camera again, showing blue fully and sitting brushing a large (but not quite as big as arcanine) black dog.]

—anyway, so since I always had to help sis out with that, that’s how I know. You wouldn’t believe how she polishes up a Rock-type. [Blue says, seemingly mid-story and not to the camera as he carefully runs a course-bristle brush down Mightyena’s mane and along his back. The dog-Pokémon’s coat was glistening with a healthy sheen, the kind a doge got from a nice bath and grooming.] Jeez, you’re lucky. Mightyena’s coat is so silky, it’s totally easy to brush it out. Arcanine’s undercoat is shedding all the time! Constant tangles. —Hey, why’re you taping this, anyway?

[Blue flicks a brief raised eyebrow towards the camera, then casually holds the bristle brush between his teeth as he trims a bit of Mightyena’s fur, evening out the shag of his back so that it didn’t droop down and mat up along his stomach. There was a surprisingly expert manner to the way that he ran his fingers along and snipped, combed, snipped some more. When he’s done, he picks up what looks like a pastry from off screen and sets it down in front of Mightyena.]

Who doesn't wanna see these two when they're sleepy? Best way to make friends here, bro. Dogs.

[he shifts the camera, showing arcanine's face. the big dog is currently half asleep, tongue lolling out as it pants. mightyena is much the same, though fully asleep in blue's arms.]

Also, I got a couple things on my mind I wanna spout off about before I forget. [oh boy here we go.] Firstly, I watched all the Sharknado films and I'm gonna punch the director. Sharks don't infest waters, you fuckers. They live there! Second, on the topic of water, I guess if ya want a swimmin' lesson hit me up. I'll use my shark. If you're scared of it, don't bother, I ain't dealin' with that crap.

[archie is fully ignoring blue's reactions to all this. he pauses for a moment, pushing his thumbs into the biggest pad on arcanine's paw gently.]

...Thirdly, if anyone has a... dyeing power, let me know. I need to know. For a friend. Who's going prematurely grey.

[Blue, realizing mid-explanation on the care of Rock-types that he is being ignored, shoots Archie a flat glare in the background, then looks directly at the camera and rolls his eyes.]

[Red's injured pout says it all - why wasn't I invited? <(o◕︿◕o)>]

[Video]

[halloflamer]

If you're gonna cry about it, just come over. [Casually, while snipping at Mightyena's tail.]

[versusseeker]

[WHELP. You don't have to tell him twice. Bye, bye video--

[No, wait. It's turning back on again.]

Where?

[ACTION]

[halloflamer]

[Arceus, a guy tries to impart some knowledge and all he gets is ignored. Well fine, see if he ever teaches you how to polish a mineral-type Pokémon again!]

--A dyeing power, huh? [Now you just get shit]

Re: [ACTION]

[h2no]

[his expression is thunderous.]

Don't.

Re: [ACTION]

[halloflamer]

[The grin slooooowly gets wider, something much like The Grinch. Huehuehue. Archie, you're a fool to think he wouldn't.]

Ahh, so that's why you got it all under a bandana all the time, huh? Well, better that than balding, right?

--Unless you got somethin' else to ask for 'help' with...

Text (and no one was surprised)

[d33tached]

Dare I even bother asking you what in the world a "sharknado" is?

[h2no]

IT'S A SERIES OF SEVEN SHIT FILMS. I HATE THEM AND I HATE EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THEM.

[d33tached]

I gathered that you were speaking of films, Archie. What is their topic?

[Sharks - he gets that much too. But what is a sharknado is the question.]

[voice]

[14words]

Fascinating, are these the norm for dogs in this version of Florida?

Re: [voice]

[h2no]

Naw, these are just from our world. They're the only ones of their kind here.

[he considers this for a moment.]

--Well, aside from the two Poochyena around.

[14words]

[the softest sigh at the name 'poochyena.' this place has already made a pun of his name, pucci, and now there are fantasy dogs to go along with it. life.] I see. What's the difference between these and the typical canine?

This... place, government, I assume, has put me in charge of a 'dog sitting palace.' I'm afraid I know little to nothing about dog care.

[video]

[continuousgroaning]

I'd ask what a "Sharknado" is but it's pretty self-explanatory. ... and they made 3 movies about one?

Re: [video]

[h2no]

Seven.

[he's gotta do something when he can't sleep.]

Don't watch 'em, T. They're real violent towards the poor sharks.

[video]

[continuousgroaning]

It's not the sharks' fault if they get swept up in a tornado!

VIDEO.

[handycapable]

[ They're the weirdest dogs Ray's ever seen and there are parts of the post that don't mean a damn thing to him, but also... ]

Awwwww. Look at them... [ Much more adorable to Ray than a giant bat. Also really proving Archie's point here. ] But why would you not just use actual hair dye?

Re: VIDEO.

[h2no]

[how dare you ray the giant bat is THE BEST BOY. archie angles the camera slightly to better show off arcanine's adorable happy panty face and... size, really. god, that dog must be at least 6ft big.]

'Cause I-- my friend wants to see if they can get it done once for free instead of havin' to spend time they don't have doin' it once a month.

VIDEO.

[handycapable]

[ Ray touches his cheek, distracted by the sight of Arcanine for another few moments the way people often are briefly distracted by cute -- albeit in this case, also very enormous -- animals, but then he raises his eyebrow. ]

Is it really such a big deal? I think a little grey hair on the right man can make him look pretty distinguished-- I mean, there's nothing wrong with a silver fox.

[ One of Yusuke's favorite things about this world is Pokemon. He still has little understanding of what they are, only that they are incredibly diverse and incredibly beautiful, and he is ready to compliment their lovely dogs when something more urgent and exciting catches his attention. ]

There's a shark? Can I still see it if I already know how to swim?

Re: video;

[h2no]

I could probably talk him into it, if ya bring a side of fish.

[fehus]

[fuck that orange dog it bullied him. its owner bullied him too also fuck that guy!!]

[buuut just because his pulse is spiking doesn't mean he isn't going to make fun of Archie. in fact, that might be the reason he does it? #spiteyourself2017]

How grey is your friend going? And where? His back?

[all concern. here, a healer, to heal your woes, clearly]

[VIDEO] 1/2

[halloflamer]

Hey, it's that wuss!! [Hi he heard his name] You should check for bald spots too, I don't think that bandana is just for show if yanno what I mean--

[there's a blur as blue is full on tackled.]

I'M GONNA KILL YOU!

[burlyboy]

You gotta embrace the grey, bro! Silver fox it up!

Re: video

[h2no]

[he pulls his bandana down a bit more, self-consciously. sure, maybe people wouldn't see it under the bandana, but he'd know it's there.]

I don't think it's ageing though... I'm not that old. Right?

[he likes feeling young and attractive, okay, so sue him.]
