Yeah! Mom's nice! Everybody should meet her! She's the best!

[sixextraseconds]

NICE MOM is best at ?????????

[flamejock]

Everything! My mom is the best pokemon trainer and she's the prettiest and she smells the best and she's the nicest and she makes the best poffins and she brushes me the best and she gives the best kisses and she gives the best hugs and she's the smartest and she's the best!

[Whoa pal that's a lot of words it doesn't know all put together at the same time]

NICE MOM in charge of SCHOOL enrichment center?

[flamejock]

I don't understand your question. You talk funny. Why do you talk funny?

[sixextraseconds]

unit BLUE has not been programmed for auditory communication.

[flamejock]

What? No, Blue talks to me all the time. Blue's my mom! She tells me I'm great and she loves me!

[sixextraseconds]

unit BLUE does none of these things

[flamejock]

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

[sixextraseconds]

unit BLUE does none of these things

[flamejock]

Alright, that's it. You and me, we're going at it. You can't talk like that about my mom. Where are you? I'm going to kick your ass.

[sixextraseconds]

[it is so confused right now. It's just gonna focus on the one part it gets out of that.]

unit BLUE located in room AE04

[flamejock]

::BAM YOUR DOOR SWINGS OPEN::

WHERE ARE YOU?

[sixextraseconds]

[It's a closet, dude. There's nowhere to hide, nor does it try to. Little hello wave.]

[flamejock]

::JOCK RIPS HIS SHIRT IN HALF ALA SOME SORT OF HAIRY HULK HOGAN::

WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY MOM? TELL IT TO ME TO MY FACE.

[sixextraseconds]

[UHHHHH...? It doesn't say anything, which should be fine, since it never said nothing about this fabled "mom." It just presses its back against the fusebox and gurgles.]

[flamejock]

WHY CAN'T YOU SAY IT NOW? ARE YOU AFRAID?

::shit this guy looks livid::

[sixextraseconds]

[G...GURGLE.... TOOT.........?]

[rivalsolarbeam]

[At this point, Bulba had been on his way back to the RA quarters when S U D D E N L Y shouting. Angry Jocks and Robots in Closets. The robot he had vague knowledge about already, but angry Jocks were angry because ? ? ?]

Hey...! Hold on, is there a problem?

[flamejock]

::Jock wheeled around to see... Green's venusaur looking at him::

HE TOLD ME THAT BLUE DIDN'T LOVE ME OR TELL ME I WAS HER FAVORITE. HE SAID THAT TO ME ON THE NETWORK TWICE.

[sixextraseconds]

[Just gonna... squeeze past Jock here... out of the closet...

It looks at the green subject who lives in another door and shrugs. It's true, Blue has never done these things??????]

[rivalsolarbeam]

[Bulba is swiftly making with the sweet smelling scents to help calm Jock down. Breathe it in deeply with your heaving, angry breaths, Jock. Bulba glaced at the robot and then at Jock.]

What? Why would... [NO. Wait. Hold on.]

Was he talking about your Blue or himself?

[flamejock]

::NO, NO CALMING, ONLY FIRE-TYPE INDIGNATION::

HE WAS TALKING ABOUT BLUE. WHY WOULD HE BE TALKING ABOUT HIMSELF. I HATE HIM.

[sixextraseconds]

[This is getting dangerously close to paradox territory. Blue talks about Blue but it does not talk about itself but it is Blue but it does not... It stumbles a little while trying to ease its way to the nice green one.]

[rivalsolarbeam]

[IT IS SO SMELLY AND YOU ARE BREATHING SO MUCH OF IT, JOCK.]

Because that's his name too...?

[Bulba looked over at the robot that was inching ever closer. He hadn't commented on it, but he had seen that network post earlier.]

That's how you introduced yourself, right?
