6th Transmutation | He's not even dreaming anymore...

[armoredsoul]

[When the feed clicks on, it's pretty clear that Al has something of a predicament on his hands. Or, rather on his head, since there's a very happy little Munna latched onto the back of it.]

[He tilts his head to give a clearer view of his passenger before he speaks.]

Um, does anybody have any tips to getting these guys loose? I woke up with him on my head and he, uh...really doesn't want to move.

One of those had plastered itself to my window this morning!

[And is now a member of her team, because apparently her destiny in this world is to collect as many cute animal things as possible. She doesn't do it on purpose.]

Maybe offer it some food?

[armoredsoul]

You too? I noticed there's a lot of them floating around outside...

I tried, but he wouldn't budge. He's not afraid or anything, though, just...really likes my head for some reason.

[a_sin_for_him]

There do seem to be dozens of them...

Maybe you use a tasty shampoo.

[Because Scar is a stinker, he reaches across Lust to switch her 'Gear feed to private before he speaks.]

Don't feed it, then it will definitely never leave.

[paopuprincess]

It'd probably let go if you made it faint.

[Teasing.]

[armoredsoul]

Wha--I wouldn't do that! He's not hurting anything, it's just a little annoying is all!

[paopuprincess]

Hm. What about catching it? Can't grab you if it's in a ball.

[armoredsoul]

Ah...I thought about it, but then I got paranoid wondering if the ball might suck me in, too. I mean, I know it probably won't, but...!

Voice

[nvcr]

Oh.

Mine does that all the time, too...it's probably just trying to probe your mind for your deepest insecurities, as well as look for some tasty dreams to snack on.

Aren't they just adorable?

Voice

[armoredsoul]

Deepest...? [Because that's not creepy or anything. But Al's pretty sure Cecil means that in a reassuring way, at least...] Well, I guess I did sleep better than I usually do last night...

[nvcr]

I know; it's great for making sure you get a good night's rest, right?

Also, sometimes it emits a strange, pinkish cloud containing images of the dream it's eaten. Which is a good way to keep track of your nightly escapades if you're too busy to keep a dream journal.

[armoredsoul]

Ah...I think I'll pass. My dreams get pretty confusing, I don't think any meaning could be picked out of them.

[Read: he'd like his trauma to stay in his subconscious plzkthx.]

[unkinder]

It should let go, now that you are awake. If it doesn't, it isn't hard to pull them off.

[Speaking from experience...]

[text]

[armoredsoul]

I've tried, but he gets really upset each time I try, and he has a strong grip. At first I thought it was just because he wanted to stay with me, but it doesn't seem like that's the problem.

[unkinder]

I'm assuming this is your Pokemon now, correct?

[text]

[armoredsoul]

I haven't gotten him in a ball yet, but I do intend to catch him. He latches on too fast for me to get him into one after I pull him off.

[And thanks to Envy, now he's half-paranoid he'd get pulled into the ball too if the Munna's latched on.]

[fourleafcleaver]

Nope.

[Clover's got two of them, one on her shoulder and one in the pocket of her jacket—wait, nope, three; there's one nestled inside of one of her pink pigtails somehow—and she is absolutely beaming.]

Aren't they great?! If he's comfy, you should let him stay there for now. [SHE LOVES THESE STUPID PINK FLOWER PIGS SHE WANTS ALL OF THEM]

video

[armoredsoul]

Oh, I like him plenty, but I need to get myself cleaned up and it's hard to do that with him clinging on like this.

[Then he grins.] Looks like you've got quite an entourage, there!

video

[fourleafcleaver]

Well, I'm sure he'll get bored eventually and move along. Have some patience.

[Man, can she grin any wider?] Sure do! I love these stupid flower pigs, they're ridiculous. This [gently shrugging her shoulder] is the Marquess Daisybutt, and here [carefully patting her pocket] is Duke Porkhill.

[me_first]

Mine does that sometimes... he's likely digesting a dream you had.

Just give him a little time and he should let go.

[armoredsoul]

Digesting a dream?

[Al frowns and reaches up to pat his Munna.] How can you eat a dream in the first place?

video;

[me_first]

I don't know. The idea is fascinating, but it seems to work quite well - I've not had one for some time, not since I... acquired mine. It doesn't seem to bother them much, and it's helpful for their trainers. Maybe he simply enjoys your dreams and wants to stay.

[pipers_son]

Think any of yer other Pokemon could convince 'em ta get off?

video;

[armoredsoul]

[SIGHHHHH] No, they just seem to think it's a great joke of some sort. I have a bunch of troublemakers, honestly.

[He gripes, but he loves them.]

[pipers_son]

Ya get types like that every now and then, heh! I know the feeling. I have ta keep an eye on my own lot, or else they get inta all sorts a trouble.
