HELLOOOOOOOOOoooooo

Would you listen to that echo? What kind of well is this, it's enormous!

[Today on the network, the Doctor is running around the Slowpoke well like a fascinated kid. An Abra is clinging to his shoulder, while a Kirlia twirls and dances around her Trainer's feet looking just as excited as he does.]

Adric, Donna, look at this. [He crouches down, getting eye level with a Slowpoke lying on a rock.]

[...And stares.]

[And stares.]

[And stares.]

[This might go on a while.]

Comments

[video] did I tell you how much I love your Doctor, Nao? ♥

[puzzling]

[Oh, that place looks familiar!]

Are you by the Slowpoke well, Doctor?

[video] ffffffffffffff

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

That I am.

[He spoke to the Pokegear, but his entire concentration was fixed on this Slowpoke.]

[video] ♥ LOVE ALL AROUND ♥

[puzzling]

[The Professor gives a small chuckle.]

Are you having a staring contest with the Slowpoke?

[video] <3333

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

I am thinking. Thinking important thoughts, more important than my usual ones.

Because this something, this Slowpoke something? Doesn't blink. At least not as much as you or I might.

There's a lot of uses for a something that doesn't blink.

What am I supposed to be looking at here?

video

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Not you, Donna, I mean this Donna.

[He waved a hand to the Kirlia standing next to him, still focusing on the Slowpoke.]

video

[nobletemper.livejournal.com]

What the hell is that? Some kind of bug? You named a bug after me!

...Am I interrupting a special moment here?

video

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

She's not a bug, Donna, don't be ridiculous.

[Staaaare.]

Maybe. Probably. This might just be special. Because this thing, this pink thing here?

[And the next words were said slowly, with a look of utmost concentration on the Doctor's face.]

Doesn't...seem...to blink.

video

[nobletemper.livejournal.com]

Well, excuse me, Sunshine. What is she then?

...Is that all? What's so special about that?

video

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

She's a Psychic-type. So very much not a bug.

It's special. Very special, incredibly special, unbelievably special. Everything blinks. This just does it much less often.

video

[nobletemper.livejournal.com]

That's a tad better, I suppose. Why's she just... spinning about?

Maybe it's sleeping with its eyes open. Like Gandalf!

video

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

I don't know that, actually. She's been doing that pretty much since she evolved.

...Like Gandalf? [Asked by Space Gandalf himself.] Well, I suppose it might be, yes. But everything needs to blink eventually--well, most things need to blink eventually.

video

[nobletemper.livejournal.com]

Well, she's a right good dancer, worthy of being my namesake.

Yeah! Like in the second movie, he was sleeping with his eyes open and holding that... giant marble thing. Does it even have eyelids?

video

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

...I actually don't know if it does or not. If it blinks, we'll find out.

video

[nobletemper.livejournal.com]

And you're gonna find this out by having a staring contest with this thing.

video

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

...You're right. Maybe I should poke it with a stick.

video

[nobletemper.livejournal.com]

That'd probably get you better results.

video

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Right. Good idea. Hang on a bit.

[And he's off~! The Doctor darts offscreen to look for a stick, leaving only the Slowpoke.]

[Who opens its mouth.]

[And yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawns. Seriously, Donna, this is like an epic ten-second yawn.]

[What next, you may ask? Why, it falls asleep of course.]

video

[nobletemper.livejournal.com]

[...oh no it did not. there's just an expression of pure offended shock. she was going to feel bad for you when you got hit with a stick, slowpoke. not anymore]

[video]

[in-themachine.livejournal.com]

...

Is there something special about that Slowpoke or something?

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

There's something special about everything here, don't you think?

[video]

[in-themachine.livejournal.com]

I think so, yes.

But what is that Pokemon doing that is so special? It really looks like he's just lounging there...

[of-france.livejournal.com]

Are... you alright?

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Perfectly fine.

[Oh, France. If the fish custard didn't tip you off that all was not well in his head, this will.]

[Video] Oops totally forgot about this label XD

[of-france.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Well.



Is there something special about that Slowpoke?

[Video] :|b

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

...It doesn't blink.

That? That's something interesting.

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

It doesn't blink.



Everything has to blink.

[Video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

It hasn't blinked yet. So until it does, based on my observation that means it doesn't.

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

How have its eyes not dried out? How has it not gone blind? That's unnatural!
