homeless for now

[realest]

Alright, you've got the will, so let's make the way! Don't over-think it dude, that just makes crud harder.

Just do the dang thing. Trust me, it'll work out.
Now. How 'bout some ice cream?

Optimism is almost always the answer.

Well, optimism and hard work....

[realest]

Right! Just gotta keep thinking positive and stuff'll work out. I keep saying it but it's like talking to a wall.

[thneedisgreat]

Some people just choose to be cynical. It's a shame.

[realest]

It kind of is, but it's her choice I guess. I'll just keep up the smiles for both of us.

[bad_mouthing]

[You had her at ice cream.]

[Nevermind that she's being a freeloading Pokehobo.]

[realest]

...whoa. What are you?

[bad_mouthing]

[Wow, rude!]

...

What are you?

[realest]

I'm a human!

[She'd say 'obviously', but she doesn't know what most other humans look like so.]

[bad_mouthing]

Nuh-uh! Humans don't have those ears! You look more like a Buneary!

That's Shiny, maybe.

[realest]

I dunno what a 'buneary' is but uh... it's a hat, bro. They're not real ears.

[bad_mouthing]

Nuh-uh!

[realest]

...okay? Not sure how you're gonna tell me what my ears are or aren't but whatevs.

[bad_mouthing]

Like this! Those are your ears!

See? Easy!

[realest]

And I'm telling you they're not, and I think I'd know, so... I dunno, believe what you want I guess.

[bad_mouthing]

[Now with that sorted...]

So where's the eyes cream?

[She completely forgot about Fionna's first question...]

[realest]

...uh. That was for the mun. Not me.

[bad_mouthing]

You mean...

...there's none left???

[realest]

Nah, there's plenty left. She's just not the sharing type.

[bad_mouthing]

Greedy!

[...she's not exactly one to talk, though...]

[realest]

...didn't you only show up to mooch food? I don't think you've got much room to talk.

[bad_mouthing]

Yeah, but--!

I'm cute!

[Because that's the end-all be-all, amirite?]

[realest]

...not really.

[Fionna thinks it's kind of weird-looking. And probably as dangerous as an overgrown dimple plant, given the giant gaping maw growing out of its head.]

[bad_mouthing]

[Pretty good bet.]

'scuse you! I am adorable! My master even says so!

[realest]

Well, I'm not your master.

[And since what goes around comes around-]

Besides, I'm gonna think what I want, and what I think is that you're not all that cute.

[bad_mouthing]

Yeah, well, you don't have eyes cream for me. So I don't care what you think.

[That makes her useless as far as she's concerned.]

[realest]

Man, you might be more of a butt than Marsh.

[Which is saying something.]

[bad_mouthing]

Am not!

[Probably is.]

[realest]

Totally are. At least ML would admit that he's a jerk.

[Quite proudly, actually.]

[bad_mouthing]

I'm a Mawile.

[The "deceiver" Pokemon. Not being true to others is what she does as a rule. She's a cute mass of contradictions.]

[realest]

O...kay?

[Yeah, Fi has no idea what she even means by that tbh.]

[bad_mouthing]

[There's a devilish grin on her face. Let's see how clever you are, Fi.]

I always tell the truth.

[realest]

...man I so doubt that.

[Fi's not the smartest cookie, but even she can tell when someone- or something- is up to some shenanigans.]

[bad_mouthing]

It's true though! You have no reason not to trust me, right?

[realest]

Yeah, maybe...

Except that you have a giant mouth on your head and you smile kinda like a bad guy.

[bad_mouthing]

It's not a mouth. It just looks like a mouth. I wish it was a mouth. It would make the things that I catch easier to swallow.

[Which is true. The thing is more like a giant clamp with really sharp horns. It has no tongue, nor does it have salivary glands.]

[realest]

...cause that's not foreboding or anything. Man you really are kind of super-creepy.

[bad_mouthing]

Hehe. I will admit it is kind of funny to feel the things I catch wriggle and writhe as they try to get away.~♥

[Still...]

And I don't judge how you catch and eat things.

[realest]

...

[Mawile, you are not helping your case. And her hand may be inching toward her sword.]

I don't catch things! Usually. I go buy groceries!

[bad_mouthing]

[For a small thing, she does a pretty good job at being an apex predator in the regions where they are found.]

Oh. My master goes there sometimes too. But you need moh nay, yes? I can never get any moh nay.
