A Nerd Club Christmas
"I do not very much enjoy Christmas."
It was Christmas Eve, and here a child with messy black hair hid under her sheets, grumbling to herself while peering at a book with a flashlight.
"Mother and father do not listen to me. I am certain I just got frilly girly things again. I bet they're pink."
The girl known as Viola Brown sighed, her cheeks puffing out. Long has she wanted to run away from home, start her own life where no one would make fun of her for liking the occult. She'd go far away and change her name. Viola was nice, but Brown was much too plain. Maybe something like... like...
She looked down at the book she was reading again. The Official Pokemon Handbook. She'd read it cover to cover many times, but she always came back for more. The pages were open to the two-page spread devoted to Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar, and she stared at those pages with wide, wistful eyes.
"I wish I could be a Pokemon Trainer. They get to go wherever they want and have adventures. Pokemon would not judge me."
Her eyes fell to the list of attacks the Pokemon could learn. The words "Night Shade" drifted over her vision.
"...Nightshade..."

N❜Yasunna: "Once again, there are some subtle aspects I wish weren't lost when this Pokemon evolves, since Toxapex sort of trades "sad goth medusa child" for "devil ghost in a cactus igloo""
Beautiful Chickadee: i'm the devil ghost in a cactus igloo
Gooper Blooper: oh good, I'm not the only one reading Bogleech's Pokemon reviews
Gooper Blooper: he hates Gallade but aside from that I line up with him an awful lot
Beautiful Chickadee: unreasonable gallade hate
N❜Yasunna: yoooooooooo
N❜Yasunna: I don't remember how I found them
RubyChao: but what does he have against gallade
N❜Yasunna: but I agree a lot too
N❜Yasunna: especially on Lucario
RubyChao: it's so evil :<
N❜Yasunna: not as strongly as him though
Gooper Blooper: Lemme go check the review again to refresh
Gooper Blooper: His dislike of Gallade seems to stem largely from what makes Gallade so popular in the first place
Gooper Blooper: That being it seemed like pandering to the Gardevoir fan club by giving them a male version so they can pretend male Gardevoirs don't exist
RubyChao: rip
RubyChao: can't argue with that, i suppose
N❜Yasunna: I think the one thing that bothers me about Gallade's design is that waist
Gooper Blooper: but yeah Lucario is his least favorite of all
N❜Yasunna: its like he swallowed an ostrich egg and it got stuck
Gooper Blooper: weird design choices being the main thrust of that, not so much the fact that it's really obvious fanservice bait
RubyChao: to be fair, i might be biased towards Gallade since i've ruined him for myself for years
N❜Yasunna: he's the only person on earth who agrees with me that giant inexplicable spikes are not justification for a steel typing
Gooper Blooper: I never liked Gallade's waist either, I remember in some drawings of Gallade I did long ago I adjusted it to look more natural, like a giant bellbottom
Gooper Blooper: I think so too tho!
N❜Yasunna: a trio has formed!
Gooper Blooper: also bogleech gave Beheeyem a perfect score
Gooper Blooper: so that's nice
N❜Yasunna: we all make mistakes
RubyChao: *jrm immediately - kek
Gooper Blooper: :>I
Gooper Blooper: oh god I fucked that up and it looks creepy
Beautiful Chickadee: goopy is horrified that he has a nose now
ivel: Harps pls
RubyChao: it looks hilarious

Two Weeks
Did you know F-Zero racers can go at normal speeds? It's possible, with the right equipment. Thanks to the ever-handy skills of Josephine's mother Celestia, the Blue Falcon was now street legal. It could drive along on an added set of wheels at a reasonable pace, or - when needed - tuck in the wheels and go right back to its' ludicrously fast ways.
So it was now that Josephine was cruising towards the Las Vegas Strip, her eyes shining with wonder and desire at the neon lights.
In the back seat, Gloria rolled her eyes, her face buried in a book about Las Vegas' history. "You know, Josephine, you got lucky last year. They say the house always wins."
"House didn't beat me."
"It will. You realize that these places couldn't stay in business if the odds were 50/50, let alone in your favor? Keep playing, and you're bound to lose."
"Only if I'm unlucky. And I feel like pressing my luck."
"Don't say I didn't warn you."
"C'mon, Gloria, loosen up."
"Hey, I'm just looking out for you."
"Ugh, I know, but..." Josephine sighed. "You know something? Everyone in our family has changed except you."
"What? What are you talking about?"
"Sarah found herself, and helped us change job classes. And since then, she's matured and grown a lot as a person. I've gained confidence in myself. Ariel's gotten stronger after being tempered by trials like The Society. Mom was freed from Tiamat and found her calling as a baker... and a mechanic, and a theme park owner... sheesh, she does a lot. And Dad... well, he was DEAD! But you're the same old stuffy boring Gloria."
"I resent that." Gloria huffed. "I opened my own library."
"You always wanted to do that. That's not a change."
"I became a summoner!"
"That hasn't changed who YOU are, sis."
"Well, so what? Maybe I like being boring." Gloria said, looking back at her book. "I mean, someone around here has to keep a cool head. You guys are rowdy enough, but this city is like a drug. Especially for you. This family needs a designated driver."
"That's Dad's job. C'mon - you're young, you're experienced, and you're frittering away the best years of your life doing nothing but reading!"
"Reading is fast becoming a lost art. Someone needs to preserve the traditions of the past."
"Okay, look. A couple years ago, Ariel took me to the ZFS King of Beasts to help me come out of my shell and stop caring so much about stupid shit like dress sizes and magazines. Now it's my turn to help someone."
They came to a stoplight. Josephine grimaced briefly at the line of traffic in front of her, but then took the opportunity to turn her head to look at Gloria, and jabbed a finger at her.
"You? You're gonna have fun in Las Vegas."
"I had fun last year."
"You didn't even scratch the surface of the Vegas experience. Well, no more. You're going to see the shows."
"Well, okay."
"And you're gonna gamble."
"Ugh... Must I?"
"And eat at the Heart Attack Grill."
"You wouldn't."
"I would. Gloria, you're getting the full Vegas treatment this year! And you can take that to the bank!"
"The only things I'll be taking to the bank after this are an IOU and raised cholesterol..."
Josephine shook her head, chuckling, and then heard someone honk their horn at her. She hurriedly looked back at the road and saw the cars moving, and the Blue Falcon lurched back into motion. With one hand on the wheel, the chemist flipped on the radio, looking for a station...

Chatzy Madness Volume 202: Jarritos, Poderosa Refresco
Bree: in other news I want to tell you guys the brief but dramatic story of Mexican Soda
Bree: are you ready
RubyChao: yes i am
Jumpropeman: tell us of Mexisoda
Bree: right, the Tale of Mexican Soda
Bree: so there's a Mexican brand of soda that I happen to like. it's sold in the "Latin foods" section of the local stores
Bree: I first tried it at Blue's because her mother has dated several Hispanics so naturally they tend to have a lot of Hispanic foods and beverages around the house
Bree: I usually buy two-liter bottles of the fruit punch flavor and it's fucking delicious and I usually drink it in about a day
Bree: it's just so damn good
Gooper Blooper: What's the soda's name?
Reading review pages: Is it one of the Jarritos, or another kind? -eyes own drink-
Bree: yes, Jarritos
Reading review pages: They're good.
Bree: hell yeah
Reading review pages finishes off his Mandarina
Bree: and it's a rare treat since it costs more than other sodas at the store so I basically inhale it
Gooper Blooper: inhale my soda enragement american
6 HOURS TIL KEVVY: dios mio
Bree: I get fruit punch flavor but we were at the store about three months ago
Bree: (this story is Bree's version of the Ron Paul sign)
Bree: no wait more than three months
Bree: like sometime last year
Gooper Blooper: (oh god)
Bree: december probably
Bree: anyway
Gooper Blooper: (RON PAUL SIGN UPDATE: it's still up)
Jumpropeman: when will they replace it with Rand Paul is the question
Bree: we were there and I asked for some Jarritos but they didn't have any two-liter bottles and I asked my mom "can I get a small bottle, I want to try a new flavor"
Bree: she said sure
Bree: this soda, it only comes in two sizes, at least as far as I can tell
Bree: there's two-liter bottles with normal plastic twist caps like any ordinary bottle of soda
Bree: and then there's the above-pictured 12.5 oz glass bottles with bottlecaps
Bree: so I got a small bottle of one of those in the Lime flavor
Bree: so I take this soda home and the next day I wanna drink it and I go "mom where's the bottle opener?"
Bree: she's like "oh we don't have one"
Bree: I'm like "wat, but I bought this drink with a bottlecap"
Bree: she just "welp"s at me and suggests opening it with the scissors
Gooper Blooper: lel
Bree: my mom: best parent
Jumpropeman: oh lawd
Bree: 100% safe plan
Bree: I try it but I'm a wuss so I don't try too hard because I'm afraid of horrifically murdering myself
Bree: so I give the thing to my mom and I'm like "mom open this pls :<"
Bree: she makes a valiant effort but no dice
Jumpropeman: is Jarrito spanish for "impossible to open"
Bree: next she attempts to pry off the bottlecap with the back end of a hammer
Bree: another fail
Bree: the soda is returned to the fridge
6 HOURS TIL KEVVY: i think it sounds like the spanish tried to condense a dorito in a jar
Bree: the bree drinks something else that day
Gooper Blooper: I'm reminded of that one atari screw
Bree: now we made numerous trips to the store but we never bought a bottlecap opener because ???????????????????????????????????????????????????
Bree: mostly because we never seem to have room in the budget for frivolous things like "a bottle opener for that one soda that's still in the fridge"
Bree: I kept being like "mom? bottle opener?" and she's like "money is tight and they're like four bucks"
Bree: it's not that we're so broke we don't have four dollars, but once we've paid the bills and gotten groceries, we don't have much left and it's usually left unspent as "emergency money"
Bree: i.e., if something important comes up before mom's next paycheck
Bree: aaaaaanyway
Jumpropeman: you should just take that bottle and break it on the counter, pour the glass/drink mixture in a cup and enjoy
Gooper Blooper: yeah it does seem a bit frivolous unless you're gonna buy bottles like that a lot
RubyChao: that's not hardcore enough jrm
RubyChao: you EAT the bottle
RubyChao: soda and all
Bree: today we went to this new thing they did, a Women's Expo which honestly had nothing to do with women but it was just an excuse to walk around and get free stuff
Gooper Blooper: oh god
6 HOURS TIL KEVVY: >you eat the bottle
6 HOURS TIL KEVVY: oh welp
6 HOURS TIL KEVVY: anyway gluttony.txt
Bree: predictably I went and promptly decided I hated it because it was really fucking crowded and noisy and there was lots of standing in lines which I hate because my fibromyalgia means I'll be exhausted in like ten minutes of standing around
Bree: I basically went to a few booths with Blue and my mom, ate a bunch of free cheese cubes, and then went and sat in the car (nowhere to sit at the expo) for like an hour
Bree: Blue joined me after like half an hour
Bree: the amount of people, crowds, noise, etc. and people being rude was really making Blue super anxious and pissed and stuff so she had to throw in the towel despite wanting all the free shit
Bree: whereas I didn't give a damn about the free shit because it's all pointless free shit like magnets and pens
Bree: like, sure it's free but I just don't really need a magnet or a pen so whatever
Bree: more on the expo later if you want, but anyway
Bree: one of the freebies we did pick up
Bree: was a bottle opener!
Bree: a miniature bottle opener!
Jumpropeman: macgyver a bottle opener out of the pens and magnet
Bree: and it's also a flashlight and a tape measure because WHY NOT
Gooper Blooper: knew it
Bree: no seriously, it's a bottle opener/flashlight/tape measure thingy
iKomodo: Yaaaaaaay
6 HOURS TIL KEVVY: amazing
Bree: so we get home and I'm like "okay mom"
Bree: "give me the bottle opener"
Bree: "it's time to do this"
Bree: my mom: "shit I was just playing with it, where'd I put it"
iKomodo: D:
6 HOURS TIL KEVVY: goddamn it
Bree: "MOM EVERYTHING IS SITTING ON YOUR BED HOW DID YOU LOSE IT"

6 HOURS TIL KEVVY: ...buttsephine.txt
Gooper Blooper: bottle opener pls, breemom's butt is not a bottle
Jumpropeman: buttle opener
Bree: so I march into the kitchen and grab the soda and attack it with the bottle opener
Bree: there's an audible hiss but the bottlecap does not come off
6 HOURS TIL KEVVY: just imagining bree
Bree: pause
Bree: reattempt
6 HOURS TIL KEVVY: getting into an RPG battle with a bottle
Bree: the edge of the bottlecap bends but the bottlecap doesn't come off
Gooper Blooper: this fucking bottle
6 HOURS TIL KEVVY: boss level bottle
RubyChao: oh my god
Bree: at this point I, predictably, bring it to my mom again because now I'm sure something hideously painful will happen if I keep trying
iKomodo: D:
Bree: I'm a wuss and a coward and my mom opens all the difficult things :U
Bree: so I give it to my mom and for the record my mom doesn't know how to use a goddamn bottle opener because she used it backwards
Bree: but I don't usually use one either so I figured maybe I was wrong and she was right
Jumpropeman: this is painful to read
Bree: anyway she tries, nothing happens
Bree: tries again, nothing happens
Bree: tries again
Bree: the bottle opener breaks
Jumpropeman: Most Frustrating Bottle 2015
Gooper Blooper: I'm waiting for the-there it is

iKomodo: D:
6 HOURS TIL KEVVY: last day of october, everybody has to fucking try to break open this bottle
iKomodo: Wow, this goddamn bottle
Bree: of course it broke, there were hundreds of people there and they had to have enough for all of them so obviously this bottle opener was mass produced plastic garbage
6 HOURS TIL KEVVY: everybody seems to roll ones against it
Bree: but GOD DAMN IT I WANT MY FUCKING SODA
Bree: it's been in the fridge literally for months
Bree: like a solid four months just fucking sitting there because I can't fucking open it
RubyChao: why did i just imagine bree going the nuclear option
Bree: I AM GOING TO DRINK THIS SODA, GOD DAMN YOU
RubyChao: pulls out a goddamn hacksaw
RubyChao: takes it to the bottle's neck
RubyChao: hacksaw breaks
Bree: I ":< :< :< :< :<" at my mom and she carefully reassembles the snapped bottle opener and tries again
Bree: and again, and again
Bree: I'm like "get rid of the plastic bit, just use the metal bottle opener part"
Bree: (which was encased in a plastic handle which is what snapped)
Bree: so she tries once and then twice with that method
Bree: I try to explain she should turn it around because maybe she's using it backwards and she's turning the bottle opener in configurations it was never intended for
Bree: like how do you not understand what I mean when I say backwards, mother
Bree: so then I have to show her
Jumpropeman: an ancient evil has been sealed within Bree's Jarrito bottle and the holy seals are keeping it shut
6 HOURS TIL KEVVY: JRM plz

Bree: the bottle is opened
Bree: AND NOW I'M FUCKING DRINKING IT.

Bree: that is the tale of Mexican Soda
iKomodo: hahaha :U
6 HOURS TIL KEVVY: i was tempted to just get you a bottle opener because fcukin
6 HOURS TIL KEVVY: but there was no need
Gooper Blooper: the moral of the story is always buy soda with plastic caps, holy fuck
Gooper Blooper: like why do those metal caps even still exist
6 HOURS TIL KEVVY: but i like those tiny glass bottles of coke
Jumpropeman: what a shaggy dog of a bottle
6 HOURS TIL KEVVY: so some fallout chars can have some form of a currency, goops :U
Gooper Blooper: Atari Screw has nothing on Lime Jarrito
Bree: are you ready
RubyChao: yes i am
Jumpropeman: tell us of Mexisoda
Bree: right, the Tale of Mexican Soda
Bree: so there's a Mexican brand of soda that I happen to like. it's sold in the "Latin foods" section of the local stores
Bree: I first tried it at Blue's because her mother has dated several Hispanics so naturally they tend to have a lot of Hispanic foods and beverages around the house
Bree: I usually buy two-liter bottles of the fruit punch flavor and it's fucking delicious and I usually drink it in about a day
Bree: it's just so damn good
Gooper Blooper: What's the soda's name?
Reading review pages: Is it one of the Jarritos, or another kind? -eyes own drink-
Bree: yes, Jarritos
Reading review pages: They're good.
Bree: hell yeah
Reading review pages finishes off his Mandarina
Bree: and it's a rare treat since it costs more than other sodas at the store so I basically inhale it
Gooper Blooper: inhale my soda enragement american
6 HOURS TIL KEVVY: dios mio
Bree: I get fruit punch flavor but we were at the store about three months ago
Bree: (this story is Bree's version of the Ron Paul sign)
Bree: no wait more than three months
Bree: like sometime last year
Gooper Blooper: (oh god)
Bree: december probably
Bree: anyway
Gooper Blooper: (RON PAUL SIGN UPDATE: it's still up)
Jumpropeman: when will they replace it with Rand Paul is the question
Bree: we were there and I asked for some Jarritos but they didn't have any two-liter bottles and I asked my mom "can I get a small bottle, I want to try a new flavor"
Bree: she said sure
Bree: this soda, it only comes in two sizes, at least as far as I can tell
Bree: there's two-liter bottles with normal plastic twist caps like any ordinary bottle of soda
Bree: and then there's the above-pictured 12.5 oz glass bottles with bottlecaps
Bree: so I got a small bottle of one of those in the Lime flavor
Bree: so I take this soda home and the next day I wanna drink it and I go "mom where's the bottle opener?"
Bree: she's like "oh we don't have one"
Bree: I'm like "wat, but I bought this drink with a bottlecap"
Bree: she just "welp"s at me and suggests opening it with the scissors
Gooper Blooper: lel
Bree: my mom: best parent
Jumpropeman: oh lawd
Bree: 100% safe plan
Bree: I try it but I'm a wuss so I don't try too hard because I'm afraid of horrifically murdering myself
Bree: so I give the thing to my mom and I'm like "mom open this pls :<"
Bree: she makes a valiant effort but no dice
Jumpropeman: is Jarrito spanish for "impossible to open"
Bree: next she attempts to pry off the bottlecap with the back end of a hammer
Bree: another fail
Bree: the soda is returned to the fridge
6 HOURS TIL KEVVY: i think it sounds like the spanish tried to condense a dorito in a jar

The City of Second Chances
-MANHATTAN, NEW YORK-
-TRIDENLAND-
"I can't believe we're shutting down Tridenland..." Sarah moped.
"Oh, don't be so melodramatic, dear!" Celestia said, waving a hand dismissively. "We just can't be in two places at once! It will still be open on a limited basis, just as more of a family fun stop than a full amusement park."
It was true - caught between either leaving the park for yet another summer or ignoring her friends at the King of Beasts, Celestia, ever the businesswoman, had decided to take a third option and make Tridenland into a franchise, with a new location opening in Las Vegas. Manhattan's Tridenland would remain open, but it was not as popular as it was in its' early years, perhaps due to the memories of Zoofights fading and becoming less fresh. Now it would be a smaller, more laid-back experience, with many of the biggest rides being either decommissioned or moved to the new location.
Competing for dollars in Las Vegas was risky, to be sure, but the possible payoff was massive. Celestia mused over this fact as she watched a team of WarMechs led by Skeiron, Mecha-Sarah, and Buzzsaw dismantle a roller coaster for parts while Isotope surveyed the scene and acted as a lookout. She laughed quietly to herself. A big risk for a big payout... that definitely sounded like Vegas, all right.
Celestia looked away from the demolition and took a look at her daughter. Sarah had always had a bit of a healthy, cheery glow about her when happy, but now she seemed to be like that all the time, even when outwardly she could be glum, or bored, or even asleep. And Celestia knew why.
When Alex had popped the question, Sarah's initial quiet response had, predictably, given way to her old giddy excitement, and she'd spent the entire next day vibrating with joy as she told and retold the events of the day before to her family and many of her friends. That initial rush had faded, but a storm of emotions continued to swarm through the little white mage long after the fact.
The wedding was planned for June, currently, and there was still much to be done, but Celestia had been happy to take care of much of the minutiae, and the family as a whole wasn't jonesing for a massive, extravagant affair with dozens of third parties to pay thousands to - especially since Celestia herself could do the catering. No, this would be a simple wedding to plan, if not still fancy in person.
After all, a wedding in the glitziest place on the planet between two people who really, really, REALLY enjoyed sweets wasn't exactly going to be a muted, quiet one.

Character Musings: Too Spooky
One day in 2013 I came up with the idea of roleplaying a gothic-type character. From this idea, Viola was born. She began life as Violet, an OC inspired by the MySims character of the same name, but with a different design and a giant scorpion familiar. While I would eventually select DJ Candy to represent my interest in MySims, Violet lost that aspect of her character and became Viola when I played Pokemon Y and discovered the redesigned Hex Maniac trainer class, and the scorpion familiar was swapped out for Pokemon. I thought the design of the Hex Maniacs was pretty great, and apparently a lot of people agree as Hex Maniac appears to now be far and away the most popular generic Trainer type in Pokemon - a big change from the class's original overlooked Hoenn appearance.
I waffled a bit when trying to decide whether Viola had legitimate supernatural powers or was just a huge dork, at one point even considering revealing her to be a ghost. Ultimately I went the dork route - she has a very strong interest in the paranormal but possesses no paranormal qualities herself. Her personality has also shifted a lot - initially more of a snarky, anti-establishment goth chick, Viola was much quieter and more mysterious in her first few appearances on the blog and at the very beginning of the season, and soon after she was introduced a side of her that had been hinted at previously - a deep-seated, enduring fear of socializing and bullying - came to the fore as Viola's Achilles heel and the cornerstone of her character.
Viola is quiet and withdrawn. Many of her attempts at making friends ended in failure before ZFRP. She was bullied for most of her life, and has spent many a night wishing for strength and confidence that she doesn't possess. With the help of ZFRP, she has improved noticeably, but remains an awkward introvert that has difficulties understanding the complicated ins and outs of friendship. And she's a lesbian, and we can all be thankful the bullies never found that out.
But the real reason you're reading this post is to hear me talk about Tenshi. Like so many things in ZFRP, it was an accident. Viola wandered into a conversation between Tenshi and Richard initially just to make a joke about the portal that connected Sheryl's Diner and The Drunken Gryphon, but Tenshi stuck around and kept saying all the wrong (or right) things, making Viola more and more interested in her. The stalking phase was brief but memorable (Viola pretending to be Myriam to get photos of Tenshi is one of the times I've laughed at my own RP) and the comedy gave way to feels when Tenshi, Apollo, and Myriam broke open Viola's Psyche-Lock. Like Lily taking interest in Sonia, I found there was a surprising amount of evidence to point to that showed the pairing was a valid idea, and so Viola and Tenshi began influencing each other and causing character development.
Late in 2014 I realized that Viola had become too attached to Tenshi - she almost never did anything that wasn't Tenshi-related, and rarely interacted with other characters. As fitting as that is for an antisocial introvert with a grand total of like three friends, I didn't want to pigeonhole her as a Tenshi satellite character, so I plan for Viola to do more things that don't involve Tenshi in the future.
Viola will return in Season 5 - she has a plot hook already set in the form of Clair, and despite what I said in the above paragraph this particular subplot is custom-made for Tenshi to get involved. Will they ever be more than just friends? You can never say anything for sure in RP, but I think you can count on something changing there one way or another...

Draco: I had to rush in here because I found an article that is ZFRP relevant.
RubyChao: is this saying that josephine's kid is gonna be a genius
Gooper Blooper: dem fat banks
Thrash: So Sarah-baby would be the Emperor of Mankind, is what Draco-article read for me.
Thrash: :U
Ringabel: Kevin is not sure how to feel about this article
Gooper Blooper: they're talking specifically about the lower body areas tho
Thrash: Not entirely. The breasts are covered in the last paragraph, for infants already born and feeding.
Gooper Blooper: Are the sarahkin smart enough or did Celestia's hips in fact lie
Ringabel: but he appreciates his fine tush regardless
Gooper Blooper: The largest-chested sarahkin is Gloria and that's more like being the tallest midget
RubyChao: and yet they're all bustier than tenshi
Draco: Tenshi somehow manages to be concave.
Thrash: Celestia's hips didn't lie. :v Their intellect manifests in their magic, tho.

SteelKomodo: because that's all I remember from Year 1, like I don't remember what the other tables were
Tableter: What bought this on
SteelKomodo: just reminiscing

Draco: I had to rush in here because I found an article that is ZFRP relevant.
RubyChao: is this saying that josephine's kid is gonna be a genius
Gooper Blooper: dem fat banks
Thrash: So Sarah-baby would be the Emperor of Mankind, is what Draco-article read for me.
Thrash: :U
Ringabel: Kevin is not sure how to feel about this article
Gooper Blooper: they're talking specifically about the lower body areas tho
Thrash: Not entirely. The breasts are covered in the last paragraph, for infants already born and feeding.
Gooper Blooper: Are the sarahkin smart enough or did Celestia's hips in fact lie
Ringabel: but he appreciates his fine tush regardless
Gooper Blooper: The largest-chested sarahkin is Gloria and that's more like being the tallest midget
RubyChao: and yet they're all bustier than tenshi
Draco: Tenshi somehow manages to be concave.
Thrash: Celestia's hips didn't lie. :v Their intellect manifests in their magic, tho.
Draco: All the Sarahkin took class Archetypes that use Int for their Spellcasting instead of Charisma or Wisdom.

The Very Best, Part 3
And so Gloria and Viola's cross-country road trip began in earnest.
Celestia had once, years ago, used a beat-up old red pickup truck to get around Manhattan. Later, it became one of her first big "projects". The old rig looked largely the same on the outside, but the inner workings were overhauled completely. It was now a top-of-the-line, cutting-edge supercar with a powerful engine, four-wheel drive, insane fuel economy and loads of protection. It had air conditioning, it had USB ports, it had GPS. And yet it still looked like an old beater on the outside. Gloria appreciated her mother's odd taste.
Regardless, Celestia had long moved on to other projects and was all too willing to give Gloria the pickup. It was this machine that would carry the unlikely duo of Gloria and Viola across the United States.
At first, Viola was all too eager to get from one gym to the next. No sooner had she earned her second badge when she urged Gloria on to take her to Nashville, Tennessee for a third badge. Here, she faced a crooning country starlet and her southern-fried, sun-hat-wearing Jigglypuff in a Cute Contest, which Viola naturally entered Cleffa into. It had come down to a split decision, with two of the three judges giving the nod to Cleffa and earning Viola her third badge.

Chatzy Madness Volume 165: Imagine Party Babyz Strikes Back
(Bree is describing a dream she had about Tenshi. The beginning was cut off by Free Chatzy)
Harpy: oh jesus
Bree: remove her soul, exorcise/purify her body and get the Bad Thing out of it, then put her soul back in her body now that it is okay again
SteelKomodo: TENSHI PLS
Harpy: this is the plot to LoT2
RubyChao: that does sound very zfrp.txt
Harpy: (no it isn't)
Bree: except none of that actually happened in the dream, for some reason the dream decided to focus on the guy who was doing the soul removing
Harpy: that does sound cray tho
RubyChao: was it viola
Bree: he wasn't a real character
Bree: it was definitely a man
RubyChao: oh ok
RubyChao: inexplicably male viola
Bree: he had some really vaguely shamanistic/fortune teller type of aspects and--no he was not at all similar to Viola in any way
Bree: and I think Viola appeared briefly to speak to him but idk I don't remember it other than "Viola was there for a whopping five seconds"
Bree: literally, five seconds
Bree: she got a cameo
RubyChao: "SAVE TENSHI" "ok" "IF YOU DON'T I'LL HAUNT YOU FOREVER"
Bree: somehow, she only cameoed in this tenshiplot
Bree: anyway so the dream decided to focus on the guy who would remove her soul
Bree: because he could see auras/ghosts/shit like that, and his job during the plot was to protect tenshi's soul while everyone else captured her body (by beating it into submission) and then exorcised the bad shit
Bree: for some reason Tenshi's soul looked like a small child version of Tenshi, was super adorable and vulnerable and--okay basically Tenshi's soul was Momoko, only not
RubyChao: hahahaha
Bree: it was specifically Tenshi but it acted like Momoko, if Momoko were child!Tenshi
Bree: and he spent the rest of the dream carrying Tenshisoul piggyback and it was adorable
Bree: then suddenly the setting was Wal-Mart
Bree: no really I swear to fucking god
Harpy: what
Harpy: did Tenshi demand peaches
Bree: Tenshisoul and Random Guy went around Wal-Mart and then some bad guys in Wal-Mart killed Random Guy and Tenshisoul was scared
RubyChao: random guy noooooo
SteelKomodo: what
SteelKomodo: D:
Bree: and they had a weird castle/tower sort of thing that they hauled around, it had wheels on the bottom???
Bree: they drove it around Wal-Mart
Bree: I don't even
RubyChao: i don't even either
Bree: like I said, my dreams are weird and fucked up when I sleep too much
SteelKomodo: what is this
Bree: I don't know what happened after that
SteelKomodo: WHAT IS MY LIFE etc.
Bree: I think I remember a bit about Tenshisoul going to Heaven, in the sense that she "moved on," because the dream forgot that she was not dead
RubyChao: tenshi nooooooo ;_;
RubyChao: followup plot: bust tenshi outta heaven
Bree: Iku returns from Bhava-Agra Heaven with Tenshisoul like "DID YOU LOSE THIS >:I"
Bree: I also remember a bit about a family gathering where there was tons of food, literally there was so much food even Gluttony couldn't eat it all, I swear to god there were eighteen tables overflowing with food or something
Bree: fud
RubyChao: so
Bree: like, what, is my family the Sarahkin now
RubyChao: sarahkin family, righ- hahaha
Harpy: >even gluttony couldn't eat it all
Bree: and I was mad because they wouldn't let me in and I got in late and most of the fud was gone
Harpy: Gluttony: Is that a challenge~?
Harpy: srsly tho holy shit
Bree: my dreams are so random
Bree: I remember one other scene with the Wal-Mart parking lot
Bree: it was very dark outside and rainy and 2scary
Bree: lonely, scary, empty, dark, rainy parking lots are a recurring theme in my dreams
Bree: I swear I remember previous dreams with parking lots and they always involve me being totally convinced there is a knife-wielding thief somewhere in this parking lot
Bree: also it's always the Wal-Mart parking lot
Bree: always
Bree: I don't understand the recurrence of the Scariest Parking Lot Ever because I have no actual fear of dark parking lots
Bree: and I'm not afraid of Wal-Mart, either
Bree: like, usually the things that show up a lot in my dreams are stuff that...at least sort of make sense
Bree: and the mack-daddy of Bree Nightmares is cars
Bree: fucking cars
Bree: every single dream there is always a scene where for some reason I am driving a car, and it's wildly out of control
Bree: which makes sense, I'm scared shitless of driving which is why I don't know how despite being 20 years old
SteelKomodo: it's okay, I don't know how to drive either
Bree: that makes sense. I understand the overabundance of scary driving scenes in my nightmares.
SteelKomodo: and I'd rather not, I'd get road rage all the time
Bree: but I do not understand this fixation on the Wal-Mart parking lot.
Bree: I just don't even
Bree: I don't get road rage, I just inspire road rage in others
Bree: the few times I've driven, I was so paralyzed with fear and so busy hyperventilating that I made tons of mistakes
Bree: ran a red light? yep
Bree: missed a turn? yep
SteelKomodo: oh lawd
Bree: one time I almost ran over an old lady while going approximately 1 mile per hour in the--
Bree: --in the Wal-Mart parking lot. o_o
Bree: WHAT IS IT WITH WAL-MART, BREE??????
Bree: anyway, I hope you enjoyed my trippy-as-hell dream about Tenshi
RubyChao: i liked it
Bree: I...I almost feel like it might make it into a chatzy madness because it was so...weird
SteelKomodo: twas weird indeed
Bree: the lack of Viola was the weirdest part though
Bree: I remember thinking that while I was actively dreaming the dream
Bree: like "where is Viola"
SteelKomodo: lel
RubyChao: ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ give viola
Bree: Viola would protect Tenshi's soul so hard if she were in that dream
Bree: I bet she wouldn't have died like Random Guy
Bree: 2determined
RubyChao: viola uses the power of love to just
RubyChao: lift and throw the entire fortress thing yuugi-style
RubyChao: despite being puny
Bree: no no the moving castle thing belonged to Random Guy
RubyChao: oh ok, i thought it belonged to the villains in wal-mart
Bree: no it did not
Bree: there was also a doge
Bree: Random Guy kept a doge in his moving castle thingy
RubyChao: ...was random guy actually juan
Bree: no
Bree: trust me it wasn't anyone in zfrp
Bree: P.S. there was a scene where Random Guy told the villains their fortunes using Tarot cards
Bree: in the room at the bottom of the castle thing
Bree: it was before they were villains though
Bree: okay now I am done talking about this because I don't remember anything else and it's so damn weird
Bree: back to talking about normal things THAT DON'T INVOLVE WAL-MART
Harpy: oh jesus
Bree: remove her soul, exorcise/purify her body and get the Bad Thing out of it, then put her soul back in her body now that it is okay again
SteelKomodo: TENSHI PLS
Harpy: this is the plot to LoT2
RubyChao: that does sound very zfrp.txt

Bree: I...I almost feel like it might make it into a chatzy madness because it was so...weird
SteelKomodo: twas weird indeed
Bree: the lack of Viola was the weirdest part though
Bree: I remember thinking that while I was actively dreaming the dream
Bree: like "where is Viola"
SteelKomodo: lel
RubyChao: ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ give viola
Bree: Viola would protect Tenshi's soul so hard if she were in that dream
Bree: I bet she wouldn't have died like Random Guy
Bree: 2determined
RubyChao: viola uses the power of love to just
RubyChao: lift and throw the entire fortress thing yuugi-style
RubyChao: despite being puny
Bree: no no the moving castle thing belonged to Random Guy
RubyChao: oh ok, i thought it belonged to the villains in wal-mart
Bree: no it did not
Bree: there was also a doge
Bree: Random Guy kept a doge in his moving castle thingy
RubyChao: ...was random guy actually juan
Bree: no
Bree: trust me it wasn't anyone in zfrp
Bree: P.S. there was a scene where Random Guy told the villains their fortunes using Tarot cards
Bree: in the room at the bottom of the castle thing
Bree: it was before they were villains though
Bree: okay now I am done talking about this because I don't remember anything else and it's so damn weird
Bree: back to talking about normal things THAT DON'T INVOLVE WAL-MART

The Very Best, Part 2
"Are you quite sure this is the place?" Gloria asked with a hint of irritation. The summoner held a large umbrella over her head. She loved the sound of rain, but hated being caught outside in it. The two girls were in the middle of a huge rainstorm, standing together at the shore of Lake Erie. It was hard to see anything through the mist.
"Yes, this is the given location of a Pokemon gym." Viola said. The hex maniac wielded an umbrella of her own. From the sound of the driving rain came a different noise, far away and somewhat muffled. Viola couldn't make it out.
"...What do you suppose that is?" asked Gloria.
"Let's find out." Viola said, reaching down for a Pokeball and sending out Froslass. Froslass began freezing the lake, forming an icy path for the girls to follow. Viola crept behind, but Gloria was skeptical and summoned Blue Dragon to ride instead.
The sound again. Through the mist Viola and Gloria could make out a shape up ahead that resembled an island. They pressed on through the rain, and soon it came into view...
It was indeed an island. A small one, with a big boulder in the center. The boulder had an opening big enough for the girls to walk through, so they did, Blue Dragon remaining outside.
As they entered, the sound played one more time, loud and clear.
A trumpet.
In the center of the cave stood a strange robot.
"GYM LEADER SPEAKING." it said with a voice like a trumpet given life. "DESIGNATION IS 'TOP BRASS'. HOENN CONFIRMED."
Gloria, Viola, and Froslass exchanged incredulous looks.
"YOU WOULD NOT BE HERE IF YOU DID NOT WISH TO BATTLE. WHO IS CHALLENGING TOP BRASS TODAY?"
Gloria pointed at Viola.
"VERY GOOD. PREPARE YOUR POKEMON. THIS WILL BE A TRIPLE BATTLE. HOENN CONFIRMED."

The Very Best, Part 1
"You want me to what?"
"I understand that this is a drastic request, but I possess no transportation of my own. You, however, are an adventurer. You have seen many places, and can aid me greatly in my quest."
"I've only just gotten home... How long is this even going to take?"
"Less than a month, by my estimation."
"Hrmm." Gloria scratched her chin in thought.
"It is simple," Viola said, clasping her hands together as she went over the basics one more time. "To be eligible to take the Pokemon League challenge, I must first defeat eight of their certified 'leaders' in Pokemon duels of various type. Once I have accomplished this, I can attempt to immortalize myself in the Hall of Fame."
"Why did you never attempt this before?"
"Before, I lacked the confidence in myself and my Pokemon. Now, I know from my experiences that anything is possible. Tenshi wishes to become known forever in history as a warrior. So, too, shall I, in my own way."
"Well, it sounds good for your confidence, all right. I hate to leave my library again so soon, but... maybe I should get out a bit more. I've done nothing but go between my house and the library for three weeks now."
"Excellent. Join me."
Viola produced a map riddled with circles.
"There are eight people with the certification to become a 'leader' in this country. One of them is right here in New York, but the other seven are scattered across the country.
This could be considered a 'road trip'."
