Level 12 [Video]

_{[For a long minute Ralph is content to let the 'gear take in a shot of the Lake of Rage.]}

Now this is nice! Reminds me of home only less...square. This whole time we've been on the road it hasn't felt like a camping trip, y'know? A camping trip needs a lake and boy have we found one!

You lived in a square forest?

[What the hell kind of forest or lake is square? Some kind of really strictly-kept reservoir?]

...anyway, you should watch out in that forest. Especially for the Bidoofs.

[Envy hopes that the Killer Upside-Down-Face Bidoof went away with the end of the glitches last year, but that doesn't mean he can't scare random people with the story.]

[France's expression is rather awkward.]

Are you sure you want to camp there?

[nostabbing]

I didn't know your home was a square.

[HI RALPH]

[rocketralph]

_{[Well well well, look who it is! Ralph's face splits into a grin.]}

Hey, pal. And well...it was square-ish.

[Video]

[rocketralph]

Yeah, why not?

[video]

[rocketralph]

_{[Ralph lifts a brow, angles his gear down at Sonic the Bidoof who's sitting happily at the wrecker's feet trying to shove an entire pinecone into his face.]}

I'm not worried.

[nostabbing]

It's better than being round, I guess. You can't hang artwork on a curve very well.

[rocketralph]

I didn't live in a square, Alice. Just...everything was square. The trees...the houses...the people. Sort of.

video;

[nostabbing]

Oh.

[Well, that makes more sense.]

I lived in a square once, so. I just figured maybe you did, too.

video;

[rocketralph]

...Y'did? Now I gotta hear about this.

video;

[nostabbing]

Well, kind of! It was more like a big box, I mean, it had three dimensions and everything. So lots of squares and I guess some rectangles. But that was pretty much it, just a big box. Sometimes that's all you need, right?

[rocketralph]

_{[Ralph used to live in a dump so he doesn't suppose he can say much.]}

Oh...well I'm glad you've got a little more room to move around now.

[video]

[captainash]

It does look really nice. Maybe I should head there after I get the Glacier badge. Seen any interesting fish in there?

[video]

[rocketralph]

Nah, just a bunch of Magikarp.

video;

[nostabbing]

Yeah. It's kinda weird. Not bad-weird, though. Just weird-weird.

[video]

[captainash]

On the one hand, how boring. On the other hand, I'm so out of practice at fishing that I couldn't catch anything better. Do you know if they at least bite?

[video]

[rocketralph]

_{[Ralph scoffs.]}

Who needs a fishin' pole? You can just reach in and grab 'em!

video;

[rocketralph]

Weird-weird is a good way to describe this whole place. So! What's new with you? Long time no see!

[video]

[captainash]

...That sounds more than a little slippery and slimy. Especially with fish that large.

[video]

[rocketralph]

After workin' with circus pokemon it's not so bad...but I'd recommend a visit. It's quiet out here. Even on the routes between towns you can hear ruckus from somewhere.

video;

[nostabbing]

I'm okay. I guess stuff's been pretty good? Kind of quiet.

I dunno if I like the quiet.

[video]

[captainash]

Spending a nice little quiet afternoon does sound nice. Too bad it still has music.

Re: [video]

[rocketralph]

Music...

_{[Ralph's brows meet as he concentrates. Oh. That's right, there is music. He's never known a world without background music.]}

Could be worse...could be the Bubble Bobble theme in every single city.

video;

[rocketralph]

_{[He grins. He knows Alice is perfectly capable of making some waves when she wants to.]}

Well, we'll just have to do somethin' about that won't we?

[video]

[captainash]

And is that Bubble Bobble theme even half as bubbly as it sounds?

[No, Ash. Just no.]
