No really, look, explain this to me
PM Title: Sorry I'm not a pokemon
Grouch: I know I probably look like I could be one, but I'm not. How are you on this horrible day? I bet you're awful :).
Jenny: Oh, stop being a Negative Nancy! I'm doing just fine. You definitely don't look like a Pokémon to me, either.
Grouch: Oh! You know my cousin Negative Nancy? Last I heard she had moved out of Grouchland and was having a terrible time fitting in. People didn't seem to want to let her just live in her trashcan, while being happily miserable and grumpy. It's a really sad story full of miscommunications and misunderstandings. As much as hope is illegal in Grouchland, I hope that we won't repeat that kind of story here.
Jenny: Oh, Negative Nancy? I wasn't talking about *that* NN, but I've heard of her. Last time I looked, though, Nancy wasn't in a trashcan at all. What's up with that?
Grouch: Oh, there's more than one Nancy? Huh. Are you telling me Nancy has moved into a house? Oh no, she's really gone local, hasn't she?
Jenny: Wait, no, I was thinking of a different Nancy. That Nancy is indeed in a house.
Grouch: How many Nancys are there? Why does Nancy no longer look like an actual name?
Jenny: I can only think of one Nancy off of the top of my head, but I'm sure there's hundreds more of them out there.
Grouch: Quite probably. Is that kind of like how there's tons of Nurse Joys?
Jenny: Hmm, I suppose so. There's also tons of Officer Jennys too. Not sure why we had to all be named the same though.
Grouch: Do you have to be named Jenny to apply to the job? Or can you have a different name, and Officer Jenny is just the title of the job?
Jenny: Yup, you have to be named Jenny to apply. I wasn't named that to begin with, so I had to get my name changed, which is just a whole other story that I don't really feel like talking about.
Grouch: Oh! That's very smart of you. You must have really wanted to be a Pokemon cop then. Is it everything you hoped it would be? Are you going to be the best there ever was?
Speaking of being the best, how are you liking our tribe?
Jenny: Uh, I think that's Ash's line. :P
I think our tribe is a lovely bunch. One player I'd like to talk about is Hercules-what do you think of their posting gimmick?
Grouch: Well yes, it is. But it's thematic, no?
Oh I like the gimmick actually. It fits the character, cuz that's how he speaks. I don't mind it. It doesn't bother me if I have to pop a few words into Gurgle if I can't parse what they mean. It's fine aside from that. Why, does it bother you a lot?
Jenny: It's slightly annoying, but only slightly. The rest of his character is amazing.
Grouch: I take it gimmicks aren't your scene then. :P
Jenny: Not necessarily. If you can pull off a gimmick without it being annoying / cryptic, it's fine by me. Of course, actually doing that is rather hard to do.
Grouch: That is a very valid point. There's a balance between them I suppose.
Also, I gotta commend you on suggesting using phone for the challenge. That made it so much easier to check. My phone also forces all things to go to a dark/black theme, which meant I had a black background behind the images which only made it that much easier. I really hope that we'll have done well :)
Jenny: You're welcome ;)
