Round 3 - Team Hairbeast Problems

[ Video | Open ]
[ Anyone tuning in to Yang's transmission today is in for a fluffy time. Literally. She is currently sitting on her knees between three largish Pokémon, that all barely fit in the already wide shot. Her proud Pyroar sits on all fours to one side, regarding the antics of the rather playful Arcanine who's enjoying Yang rubbing her tummy, and a majestic Ninetales is sitting with her back to the camera while Yang attempts to use the brush in her main hand to smooth out the post-washing curls. It's not working too well. ]

Okay, real talk! Does anyone have as much difficulty with grooming as I do with my crew? I mean, just look at them! [ A wide gesture, smiling and laughing as she does so. ] Do you have any idea how many brushes and combs I've gone through since I got here? I'm pretty sure I've spent less on evolution stones...

[ Of course, being the proud owner of a magnificent blond mane herself, she isn't about to let her Pokémon go with anything but the best in pet hair care. Yang resumes the brushing, much to the satisfaction of the Ninetales, who looks a little sleepy. ] Don't get me wrong, it's a lot of fun, but if anyone can recommend any tips or good places to shop for sturdier tools, I'm all ears.

[ Speaking of ears, she pauses briefly in scratching Rowdy's stomach to rub behind her own ear. ] —and can someone with a Joltik tell me if this kind of behavior is normal for them? I don't mind it exactly, but it's hard to keep track of her when she gets like this.

[ What is Yang talking about? Well, when she turns to show the back of her head to the camera, if one squints, it may be possible to see one very cheerful Joltik making itself cozy in the long wavy strands of Yang's substantial hairdo. Like she's building a nest for herself, almost... ]

you tried dude
you really did

but no seriously youre right i dont know why id question it
with my crew half canine i think the licking is the biggest issue

[callbacks]

im sure theyve got lick friendly products on offer too for doggy types and children
since you know normally thatd be a significant portion of the expected population
just look for the l'aurora beam kids brand or something

[yanginthere]

thats a good point
i didnt think about demographics
thanks

[callbacks]

the social sciences and i are always here for you yang
also for jades hair i like to use one of those brushes with the nylon bristles at least at first to get the tangles out
and then a big paddle brush if shell sit still long enough
dunno if thatll help you with your buddies fur types

idk if I should call him a corgi but fuck it

[yanginthere]

its worth a try
i didnt try branching out into types yet
it makes sense though
i mean back home i only had to worry about zwei
short corgi fur is easy

[callbacks]

you like dogs a lot?

[yanginthere]

cats are cool people too
but the two dont always get along

[callbacks]

huh
yeah i guess youre right
i think jade has no kitty cats on her team at all
i wonder if she still feels the urge to chase them sometimes

[yanginthere]

i dunno
youve both been here longer
seems like you would have noticed it happening by now
i mean ive never seen her roll over onto her belly before
or go crazy around bacon
or chew a bone

[ so either Yang has Missed Out, or Jade's fine ]

[callbacks]

hey what do you mean jade is ALL ABOUT the snausage and tummy rubs life
i know this in my heart to be true

[yanginthere]

hahaha
im gonna have to insist on confirmation

[callbacks]

you know the spirit of scientific inquiry that beats in my breast wont let me say no

[yanginthere]

then i eagerly await your report

[ She isn't sure if this is a good idea, since she doesn't know Jade THAT well but. It's funny. ]
