41st treasure [AUDIO]

[The transmission coming from Ash's Pokégear is particularly noisy today. Nearby, a Pokémon giggles. Some distance away, a woman sobs and a man panics.]

-ling you I'm sorry! I never intended to say it out loud, I was going to keep it to myself!

[That... was obviously the wrong thing to say, because the sobbing now gains in intensity.]

Look, just because I'm not desperate enough doesn't mean- Bouncy, turn that off.

[And turn that off, Bouncy does, just in time to spare the network an atrocious wail.]

*....well that was something*

A misunderstanding of some sort?

I didn't for her to misunderstand, that's the point! ...But I didn't mean to turn her down that harshly, either.

Re: Video

Most people usually don't cause misunderstandings intentionally. A slip of the tongue, then?

[captainash]

Somewhat. I meant to refuse her invitation gently, but my less charitable thoughts came out instead.

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

...I see.

*really, is there anything more to be said to that?*

They came out just like those songs last week, as a matter of fact. I'm starting to think this is no coincidence.

Ah, you think so...? I'm afraid that other than what people have shown off here, I haven't seen much of it, myself.

Consider yourself lucky. The experience is at best confusing, at worst unpleasant.

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

I can imagine.

[captainash]

It could be worse, though. At least no one's been affected for more than a day, as far as I know.

Re: Video

I can see how quickly it would become problematic otherwise, yes.

Quick trips to the grocery store aren't so quick when everyone sings a complaint about the price of onions with the cashier. One day of dealing with that was one day too many.
