Room 025 [video]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[There is lots of clanging and bumping as the feed turns on to reveal a hotel bathroom. A Shellder happily peeks out of a MOUNTAIN of soap suds and Henry's arm with the sleeve rolled up can be seen with a sponge in-hand.]}

Heh, I'll bet that's better, huh, little guy? Smile!


_{[Clam waggles his tongue happily and ducks down into the soapy water before popping back up and balancing on the tub's edge. It's clear that the big HENRY that had been scribbled onto him with a sharpie ages ago is slowly being scrubbed away. The H and part of the R Y still remain.]}

When this place says permanent marker, it means it. Protip: don't draw on your pokemon, no matter how good an idea it seems.

[The humanity.]

Well it seems to be coming off somewhat.

Clam doesn't mind?

Action

[no_ufo_ending]

No, I think he's glad to have most of it cleaned off.

Action

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

I'm sure he is.

He didn't mind when you wrote it on him?

Action

[no_ufo_ending]

He didn't have much of a choice. Clam stayed in his shell for a long time. It was ages before I even saw his face for the first time.

_{[It...counted as a face, right?]}

Action

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

Really? Did you ever figure out why?

Action

[no_ufo_ending]

I guess he's just really shy.

Action

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

That makes sense.

[Walks over through the suds to get a closer look.]

He seems to have opened up more now though.

[That may have been a dad joke. Possibly, it's hard to tell with Harry.]

Action

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry is quiet for a time. Partially because he's trying to appriciate that adopted!dad is joking and partially in pain because that was awful.]}

Kinda like me, I guess.

Action

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[I think you mean awful-ly funny.]

You were a bit jumpy when we met you.

[Understatement of the year Harry.]

I'm glad you decided to travel with us despite that.

[Even if they did have to search for you in a forest before they could adopt you.]

Action

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[He's quiet again, but this time, not for nearly as long.]}

I am too. I don't know what I would have done without you.

_{[Get eaten by a bear maybe.]}

Action

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[Aww Henry. c: You get a chuckle.]

Lived in the forest for a while longer at least I'm guessing.

Action

[no_ufo_ending]

Heh, I guess so...and I'd have a long wildman beard.

_{[He rubs his chin. He's always got some stubble going on there but not really a beard-beard.]}

Action

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

Maybe you'd have built a tree house to live in.

[Henry the wild man.]

Action

[no_ufo_ending]

And I'd eat wild Pigey for breakfast and chase kids away from my treehouse with a stick.

Action

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

Or some sort of stick like Pokemon.

[There's probably one of those.]

Action

[no_ufo_ending]

I know what I'm going to be for Halloween now.

Action

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[That gets him to laugh.]

The Wildman of the Pokemon world.

Action

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry grins, not even worrying about whether or not he would be around for next Halloween.]}

I'd better start growing my beard out then.

Action

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

You could always wear a fake one.

Action

[no_ufo_ending]

But that's not as good!

_{[Come on, adopted!dad, he's an ~artist~ here.]}

Action

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[Of course, what was he thinking.]

Well then I guess you'd better get a start at it then.

How long do you think it would have to be?

Action

[no_ufo_ending]

Down to the floor! And out the door!

Action

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

You won't be able to walk.
