[First, there's nothing on the screen except blue stripes on more blue. They fidget a bit, before a hand covers the screen and picks up the gear. The owner of the hand seems to be in the middle of speaking.]

--ou about stepping on my stuff?

[Through the fingers holding the gear, an annoyed teenage redhead is visible, frowning down at the Wooper previously visible. After a second he sighs, then looks at the screen.]

It's on? Rrgh, how did you -- [A sigh. He shifts his grip, moving the screen-obscuring hand. He looks kind of annoyed, the combined efforts of the Wooper and this...waking up in what he assumes is someone's idea of a joke thing. But he resists snapping at the public.]

Uh, hi.

....

Anyone else get one with a listening problem?

[imprinting]

Guess he doesn't agree with you on that.

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

He'll have to get used to it. I'm sure he won't mind as much after a bit of time together.

My name's Sora, by the way!

[imprinting]

Good luck with that. [So thankful derpwoop is just annoying and slimy without the sharp teeth.]

Neku. Nice to meet you.

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

Are you going to name your Pokémon?

[He's asking this of everyone he comes across, yes.]

[imprinting]

Uh.

Maybe. You named yours?

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

Yep! His name is Flame. Well, Bond of Flame, but that's kinda long.

[imprinting]

Oh. Cool.

... I don't really know what I'd name mine.

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

I dunno why I named him that. It just seemed right. Maybe a name will just come to you?

[imprinting]

If a name doesn't come to me soon I'm gonna wind up calling it 'slimy thing.'

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

That's not very nice.

[imprinting]

Well it does keep getting all over my stuff.

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

Maybe you shouldn't leave your stuff where it can get to it.

[imprinting]

The backpack's heavy, I'm not -

I'll just teach it to keep off my stuff. And maybe name it.

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

It might learn quick once you actually start teaching it!

[imprinting]

Hopefully. I don't know how long I can take getting slime all over everything.

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

Maybe you should find some rubber gloves to hold it with.

[imprinting]

Yeah, probably. It stings when you touch it.

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

...is it poisonous?

[imprinting]

Probably.

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

And you touched it?!

[imprinting]

I didn't know it would sting!

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

Your fingers aren't gonna fall off or anything, right?

[imprinting]

What? No. It just stung a little, that's all.

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

So it's not very strong poison.

[imprinting]

Guess not. I'd be pretty pissed if my new pet tried to kill me with poison slime.
