Day 1

Salutations! You and me are about to dance the dance of SURVIVOR! One should always get to know their dance partner.
May I introduce myself? I am Bellsprout, but you may call me whatever you like.

them
That is a fierce wiggle you have going on there. I didn't know Bellsprout could use Quiver Dance and Attract at the same time. Maybe being able to use two moves at once would make Pokemon a more interesting competitive game.

I am not much for dancing! Having four legs will do that. I can stand on my front paws, but you might not like the side effects.

I can't think of a funny nickname, so Bellsprout will have to do. I am Stunky, but you may call me The Stunkinator, El Skunko, or The Fearsome Stench.

me
Can I point out that your face really looks like an ass, or is that a sore subject?
I think I'll stick with Stunky for now, but we'll put a pin in the 'coming up with a good pet name' project for later, shall we?
Dearie me, a life without dance is nearly as bad as a life without music. I'm not sure I'd have the pep to get on with my day without a dance in my morning routine, let alone whenever I have the free time or a clear evening! What do you do, then, Four-Left-Paws? Oh, and do you prefer Mr, or Ms Four-Left-Paws, by the way?

them
Are you implying that I'm... butthurt? *da dum psh*

I actually hadn't noticed. But I think I'll be able to unsee it.

Sounds good. My inner luchador came out there.

I don't know if you're saying you actually spend a lot of your time dancing or not. Some of my friends love to dance as a hobby and have met a lot of people that way, though. If that's a strong interest of yours, did you know there are dance clubs all over the place? It's a good place to meet people, apparently. She's into swing! :)

Hey, wait, isn't that a pet name? :) I don't have a preference, you can call me whatever I feel like to you, or neither even.

You seem bright and happy. You must be excited, huh? Or are you happy about something else, or am I reading tone badly?

me
I guess when it comes to seeing what's right under your nose, you had a bit of a brainfart, didn't you? I'll be here all week39 days *yanked off stage immediately*
I'm really sorry to have popped that bubble, but don't worry - you're not the only one who's maybe not quite a looker. Have you seen me? Talk about slackjawed! I guess I at least have nice, plump lips and a willowy frame, but I'm as flat as board! No amount of wiggling will help put some 'un-ts' in my sway. :\
Still, though. At least we have personality and a sense of humor to rely on. :D
Yes indeed, Stunkums, I LOVE dancing. I mean, it's nothing I pursue on a class-taking or professional level, but it's probably one of my leading hobbies. Hit a club, feel the music, and MOVE! You know?
CAN YOU TELL I'M EXCITED? Aren't YOU excited? How can anyone not be excitedddddddddd?

them
If I have to put up with those jokes for 39 days I might vote myself off :)

I'm not sold on that ruining me. I think I'm cute as a button. Skunks are underrated and underappreciated animals. Just because we have one distinguishing trait everyone knows doesn't mean we don't have more to offer! I don't think you have much of a jaw going on at all there. But hey, chin up -- if you survive long enough you will turn into a giant mouth! Who doesn't want to be a giant mouth. Perhaps you should find someone who loves you for your personality :P It can happen!

You are going to give me a lot of different pet names, aren't you. :) That's good, I like to feel special. Not youneek, but important special. Dancing in clubs probably should have been the obvious conclusion to me, but instead I decided to relate it to my personal experiences or something and basically talk about myself instead of thinking. It's all the hot air I think. You could take classes too though! It might turn you on to a whole new level of hobbymaking! I can do that, but I need my clubs dark as heck. No one must see, unless they want some of the skunk tail.

I am nervously excited! With only one D, though, so you may have me beaten!

me

D'awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww~
'Button', huh? I'm not gonna touch that, but kay. :P
Giant mouth means GIANT KISSES~ OM NOM NOMMMMMMMMMS. You've sold me on this. I'm gonna grow up to be big and strong and I'll kiss/eat everyone.
[gif of flower the skunk from bambi]
How about Flower? Wait, no I think that'd be a confusing pet name, if I start calling you flower, what will you call me?
Whatever we decide, of couse you're special. It takes a special sort of person to pick Stunky to play as, and I don't mean that as a backhanded comment, either. It's just the right sort of off-kilter that I like. What made Stunky your top choice, if you don't mind telling me?
Oh, I don't mind that that's where you went! To be honest, if I had the time, I might actually go ahead and do that sort of thing, too, one day! But right now, I'm not super interested in taking it as a discipline! I like just shaking shit out however I please just fine right now. Don't really have to worry about how it looks, y'know? I just like to have fun, and I just can't really listen to music without burning whatever built-up energy I have! I'm just always moving, I guess!
Dark clubs are nice, but I love the flashing, strobing colors! I love the spectacle!

We've spent all this time talking about my dancing, what do you do?

them
[more cute skunk gif]
:)

Darn it, I guess I got myself there. It's not my fault some idiom-maker in probably 16th century Britain or something decided buttons were cute even though they totally aren't! It is my fault I didn't see the problem.

Yeah, when you're done kissing them, you can just swallow them so no one will ever know of your shame. Or something. Okay I'm not really sure how that would be terribly useful but I wouldn't mind seeing what creative uses you can come up with for it. Maybe you can protect your team's pokemon that way and carry them elsewhere or something. For my part, I'll try to grow up and do whatever a bigger skunk with a giant tail does.

Well, you don't quite have flowers. Since Flower is an opposite-nickname, maybe I'll figure out what the opposite of you is. Maybe a root vegetable or something, but those don't make good names. What kind of plant are you supposed to be, anyway?

I thought long and hard about what adorable critter I could be! I decided that he was cute in a fun way. He's like me! Cute and cuddly, sometimes maligned, and you don't want to mess with me! I thought about picking Hawlucha and trying to give everyone wrestling advice or something, but I didn't. I think "why Bellsprout?" is a big question that needs asking.

Sure, I get that. You sound like a fun person :) Not like the kind that would willingly subject themselves to being chained to a computer playing survivor, really.

I like to read, write and draw. I'm not very good at any of them, but you don't have to be to enjoy it. And I try to do something a little different every week with my friends. Variety is the spice of life (well, actual spice is also the spice of life).

me
I think I'm supposed to be similar to pitcher plants like these:
Spoiler: click to toggle

I chose Bellsprout for a few reasons. First, I love grass-types, so I knew when I signed up, it'd be as some sort of grass-type. And Bellsprout is one of the first pokemon I caught when I played my first game, so it has a bit of a special place in my heart. Oh, and those lips! Reason three is I love the lips. *smooch*
Hawlucha would have been AMAZING. Like so much so, that I'm almost a bit resentful that you didn't end up as him! Spoiler: flying is my second favorite type~
Psh! Just because I like to go out and have fun doesn't mean I don't love playing games online too! It's kinda silly to limit yourself in what you can do with arbitrary distinctions! I do whatever I feel like doing, and sometimes I feel like playing a game based on my fave reality tv show and my fave series of game from when I was a kid. Don't judge! :P
Ahah, but thanks for calling me fun! I'm having a blast talking to you, so guess what, bud? You don't get to not be fun too! Ho ho! I've got my giant ink stamp right here, and I'm stamping you all over with it! And it says 'FUN' in big red letters, so everyone's gonna know your secret. :P
Oh man I wish I had the 'sort of mindset to sit down and really write things! I feel like I always have so many ideas but I just don't have the.... calm to focus myself and put words to paper. Also I haven't drawn anything since highschool art! Perfectly happy with that one, though, because I was always terrible, right from the beginning. :P I enjoy seeing art shows though, so I appreciate the craft, I think.
What do you like to do with your friends?

them
Oh, that must be it. I didn't know those existed. Don't know if they're exotic or I'm just unworldly. At least they were thinking a little outside the box in gen 1. THen again, they're been getting more and more inside the box as the series goes on, so that seems right.

Hum... why grass types? Are you a nature lover, perchance? And why not Tropius, then? :D Well clearly you should've read my mind and sent me a PM before the game and told me I should pick it! I WAS pretty enamored with the whole thing. I could start my conversations with "what's your signature move?" and expand on that to make it a metaphor for a life trajectory or something. I prefer hips to lips. They don't lie, you know. It's been a long time since I first played this series... the only thing I really remember was that it was blue version and I really enjoyed it and played it at sleepovers and stuff. I miss that carefree life. I just looked up the old games for a little nostalgia and man, those sprites.... yep see you later my head is in the clouds!

No no, everyone in society HAS to conform to either my concept of an introvert or an extrovert and people aren't allowed to have middle ground :P Fine, fine. I'm not judging! If anything I'm judging myself and feeling sort of impressed that such a ray of sunshine as yourself can be bothered to descend from the heavens and play a game with me :)

Darn it, but what if everyone else thinks I'm fun? That's just no good at all. I might accidentally make more friends. Maybe we can at least skip the neon sign. Oh, but wait, if you used black ink, they might not be able to tell.

I get that, I just call it writer's block instead of a permanent state of being. It feels really fulfilling to get the things that are floating around in your head onto the page, whatever they may be. Every word feels like an accomplishment! That might be part of why I'm enjoying this game. Doesn't surprise me that you wouldn't be the type to want to sit still for it, though. And having the attention to write is harder and harder these days with all of the wonderful, shiny distractions. You'd be surprised what can happen if you work at it! Most people like to deny this, but you'd get better if you practiced. I was a dreadful artist in primary school. I'm still not good, but I can have fun with it.

Just talking is pretty good, but I prefer to mix it up a bit. We go out to eat at different places, rarely the same one twice, play volleyball at the beach in the summer, and go to various events like art shows and concerts and what have you. Life is good as long as you've got a few people you can count on. :)

me
SHOW ME YOUR MOOOOOVES
[gif]
Think of how badass you could have been.
I don't really know why I love grass and bird so much. I just do. What about you, do you have a favorite type or two?
Yeah oh my god the first two generations were my childhood! I played some gen 3 and 4, but the game I've always bonded to the most is Gold/Silver. Played my cartridges til they died. Revisited them when they did the remakes. Over and over. <3
Haha, well I don't think there's anything any more or less heavenly about this. It's just a different set of skills and activities! I really hate when people put down other people's interests! This is trashy, that is geeky, that's just dumb or whatever! NAHHHHH. I subscribe to the idea that it's all fantastic, and no one should feel any less good about what they wanna do! I mean, outside of things that bring harm to people but yeah, obvs.
Yeah, I totally get writer's block. I mean even for these PMs. Usually, the only way I can blow through them is to just start chattering, so if I ever sound like I'm prattling on about nothing in particular, you can bet that I hit a roadblock in my head. I'll try to self-edit, when I can, though! Sorry, not really all that sorry!
Can we not talk about volleyball? Volleyball makes me think of beaches, and beaches make me think of summer. I haven't even been to a beach in years, and now I'm looking outside and it looks like siberia out there. *shiver*
I need some hot cocoa............................................................. brb.

OK!
[gif]
Oh that's not what you meant is it?

Yeah. I decided I'd rather be cute! I knew either way I would regret that I couldn't be the other. I don't know if I have the gregariousness required to play a MASKED WRESTLER schtick, but trying would have been fun :)

Yes! My favorite type is normal, it has the most cuddly cute things! I also like Dark, because apparently some part of me is still thirteen years old and has a fascination with dark characters and sides and such.

I played gold to death too! Or at least, when I tried to pop it in 5 years or so ago the cartridge's battery had died or something, which I hadn't known was even possible. I played through the remakes a bit too :) actually HG/SS are the only remakes I bothered with. Probably for that same reason.

Well sure, your set of skills and activities just make you objectively more interesting :P No, I'm kidding, of course. I'll try to keep my judgments to myself then, I totally do think some pastimes are trashy, but I still don't feel the need to go and tell anyone about it. Is geeky even still considered an insult in this day and age? It seems like a lot of people embrace it now. But yeah, most putting down is 100% unnecessary and pretty much just goes to show that people are basically mean-spirited below the surface. Most of us look for ways to think we're better than everyone else.

That's okay, I'm sure even at your most witless you'd be interesting enough!

Okay! I promise it'll eventually look like not-siberia though. The tilting of the earth will not be denied, though perhaps you could try moving to the southern hemisphere in the summer. I like beaches but to each their own.

I prompted hot cocoa entering your life and you want me to do that LESS? :P

me
[gif]
Yeeeah! Age of the geek, baby!
(that's from a great show called Leverage, by the way! Check it out if you haven't seen it)
It's okay! You're just fine as a cute lil stinkcat. I'll just have to imagine the wrestler antics, and that's fine.
Normal type is pretty great too! I don't really battle much with them (unless they're normal/flying), but there are a few that I quite like. I'll be honest, while I don't really care much for Dark type, I have always loved Ghost and Psychic types a lot. So that's similar, in terms of things that are childishly 'edgy' and 'cool'. :P
WITLESS? Oh, you're gonna WITNESS something real, you keep saying things like that. Gonna see me cry. >:P
I wish, but it feels like winter is unending. I'll try to hold out hope on that, but it's fading like the heat.
....good point, I guess. But that doesn't change the fact that for a few minutes I was really cold again! Brrrrrrr.
Have you been talking with the others so far?

them
I'm going to head off for the night mostly I think. I might pop back up, but if I don't, I'll answer this tomorrow. :)


me
OK! Have a good night!

Day 2

them
I've never heard of that show! Or maybe I have and the title is just not very memorable (you had one job, title makey people). It takes a lot to sell me on one though, so... try your sales pitch on me!

I'll just put a mask on anyway and start shouting about family and arm bars and whirling elbow drops. You won't notice the difference.

[gif]

...Close enough?

Well, I don't battle especially a lot with my favorites either, because they have a tendency to be really bad. I think their badness is part of what makes me like them sometimes. I have a weirdly-applied hipster streak.

Psychic was my favorite before the Dark type was invented. But that's just because psychic powers are awesome and I want them. I used to try to convince myself I could move trees in my backyard but actually I was just squinting at them a lot. I nearly cut myself on that edge.

I just said your most witless! So like, if you had a sliding scale of wit, and you were at the low end of it, where you're probably still a lot smarter than some people who make you wonder whether evolution was looking the other way.

Yeah, I've been chatting with people. I'm having fun with it. Pichu was pretty quiet and finally sent me a short message this morning, so at least he knows how to do that. I haven't had any conversations better than this one, but perhaps folks are having trouble warming up to my off-putting skunkiness. Anyway, they all seem basically alright so far. You?

me
Okay, Leverage is about a group of criminals - one is the mastermind, who does all the planning, one is the hitter, who beats dudes up, one is the grifter, who pulls of the scams, one is the hacker, who... hacks and other stuff, and one is thief, who sneaks around and steals shit. And together they pull of Ocean's 11 sorts of incredible heists. And the catch - they always steal from the rich and corrupt. They get hired by small families, or people who a corporation screwed over, and they Robin Hood it all better. The team dynamic is fantastic, it's hilarious and fun. I love the cast. Pretty much only one of the main characters I don't find really really interesting (Nate, if you decide to watch it). Parker is fantastic, and so is Hardison, and Elliot, and Sophie. Oops, that's like everyone. :P You should absolutely check it out. I think it may be on netflix?
Fantastic. You'd make a great wrestler. All that BO, and they'll be tapping out in seconds!
Hah, I don't ever competitively battle. I just don't have the interest in that sort of meta and minutia. And EV/IV training/breeding. Bleh! No thanks.
As for faves that suck - I almost signed up as Farfetch'd. I remain salty that he still hasn't received an evolution. :[
Haha, okay, I was joking anyways. I knew you weren't really making fun of me. :P
Yeah, I've been talking to everyone! So far, I think I have a couple favorites, like you and Fennekin, but both Pichu and Squirtle are great, too! Something about Unown means that I haven't really clicked with him yet. Maybe later!

them
Intriguing. I did like the Ocean's movies. It's starting to sound a little familiar now. I wouldn't mind if this chose to be the one show that didn't insist on being about good guys, since it could have done, but sure, that's ok. I am fond of screwing over corporations in every way possible. And it is on netflix, which is pretty much the hugest selling point ever. I bet show's all time viewerships double if they end up there.

Hahaha. Good point. I'm not sure if the rules will really let me go for it, but I can put on a mask and try it. Maybe when I evolve, then I'll be bigger and scarier.

Oh yeah no I can't be bothered with the time breeding takes, just shoot me now instead please. I mess around on Showdown a bit if ya know what that is. I'm not good at it and I copy other people's teams because fuck that noise.

Yes, I know! He's so unloved... they must really hate the poor guy. You'd think he would at least deserve a Mega. Isn't he the only original one that still hasn't gotten anything at all? So mean. You could've had fun toting that leek around and making jokes about vegetables and being a fucking awful pokemon i guess?

:) You're among my favorites too, hee hee. I'm getting on well with both Fennekin and Squirtle I think, plus you of course. Pichu has been a little quiet with me. I just want to feel loved. TBH I found Unown boring at first but I think I'm starting to get him a little better.



Day 3
me
Hey! Sorry that I've been a bit slow to respond. I went to bed earlier than normal because I was pretty dead tired from work. And then since then, I've been either sleeping, or at work again. I'm glad to see that we won the challenge.
Even more so, I'm glad that the silver serum ended up not being some sort of reward temptation, because I'd prefer that we kept our tribe trusting each other right now, rather than having someone going for a personal advantage, or getting accused of doing so.
Pichu was quiet for me at first, but then I started talking with her and she's really opened up! I'm giving Unown another try.
It really seems like everyone likes Fennekin the most (or nearly the most). I guess that would put Fenny at the top of our tribe if we went to TC. I feel pretty safe for now, though. And I haven't heard anything about you that sounds troubling, so that's good too. :]
What are you up to tonight? Any plans?

It's okay, I've had a busy night tonight and have probably missed you now anyway. Even if I haven't I'm going to sleep after I get a couple messages off. It happens though, not everyone has time to screw around at work like I do. What do you do, anyways, that leaves you so exhausted? Poor thing. :(
When I saw what it actually was, I was kind of pleased with the way it was handled. That was a good little twist to throw in, I think, since it gives players the chance to make themselves look bad but then turns out to be a good idea. Yeah, even if one was the kind of person who really wanted an advantage or whatever, making yourself out to not be a team player to get it probably wouldn't be a good idea. I'd probably have been all about voting off anyone who did that :P
I guess I just keep missing Pichu, or maybe I'm just not the Pichu whisperer.
I suppose so. He's very friendly, it would be difficult to not like him if you wanted to, you know? Those are probably the people who are good at this game. Yeah, I get the feeling that I'm at least not hated, even if maybe I'm not like super duper in everyone's inner circle or whatever. That's okay. From watching the show I know that sometimes it's better to be more of a middle of the pack personality, at least in everyone else's eyes.
Yeah, I went out tonight and had some fun with a couple of friends. I'm not too inebriated to type properly, but... yeah, I had fun, hahaha. I really love meeting up with people and doing things, whatever those things might be. Did you get up to anything exciting or was it just another exhausted night in your garden?
