This is Mando.

No, that's it. This thing apparently hates bad manners or something, so Boober says if I just behave more properly, it won't hit me.

[singlespacedad]

Sounds like we're both doomed, then.

I'll try and distract it when I get home.

[nightyorb]

Yeah, come and track some mud on the carpet or something and get this thing off my back. It's not like you can yawn without covering your mouth.

[singlespacedad]

God, no. Then I'd have a Pokemon AND a Boober mad at me.

I'll come home and let Spicy loose. That should distract it for awhile.

[nightyorb]

Bringing out the big guns. I'd say it doesn't deserve that, but I'd be lying.

[singlespacedad]

Her Pokeball is in my bedroom, if you want to go let her out now.

[nightyorb]

Real tempting, but unfortunately, I'd be the only suspect with no good alibi to speak of.

[singlespacedad]

With Spicy, I wouldn't be surprised if she managed to get out of her ball on her own.

But if you need a fall guy, just wait until I'm home. Sit really still and maybe the teacup won't notice you.

[nightyorb]

I think that's dinosaurs, not evil teacups.

[singlespacedad]

It works on lots of things. Just try it.

[nightyorb]

Okay, but if this doesn't work, I'm blaming you.

[singlespacedad]

If you're not moving, you can't do anything offensive.

I think that's how manners work.

[He doesn't know!]

[nightyorb]

Judging by how fussy this thing is, it'd probably find a way to get on my case about, I don't know, breathing impolitely.

[singlespacedad]

Are you breathing through your mouth?

1/2

[nightyorb]

What do you take me for?

2/2

[nightyorb]

[And like, barely five minutes later.]

Update: It hit me again! Apparently, my nose breathing is snuffy. Whatever that means.

[singlespacedad]

I'm telling you, Riz: let Spicy out of her ball. I'm five minutes away from home, I'll take the fall for you.
