[A new message has popped up on the network from someone who calls themselves MARLA CELESTIA FUCKNUGGET SANZASHI, in all caps.

That name stays up for a few minutes before it changes, from "Ion" to "Marla" before just settling for "Mar".]

Okay, you guys saw nothing. I didn't think they'd actually put my name in like that, holy shit?

Anyway it's way too early because I just woke up fresh off of a pizza coma but

I've got a problem.

[She uploads a photo of a huge pile of what looks like individually bagged goldfish.]

So I was in another spooky people-kidnapping world before this and I found out that five bucks gets you a RIDIC amount of goldfish

I have no idea why I did what I did

but anyway fuckin multiverse arceus or some shit decided i couldn't abandon my 35 fishy children and dragged them here with me

one of them already fell into a guy's hair

anyway HOW THE CRAP AM I SUPPOSED TO HOUSE ALL OF THESE FISH I figure I can't just let them marinate in their own fish pee forever in the little bags they came in

and usually I just have my Pokemon sleep in their balls if space is tight but GOLDFISH ARE NOT POKEMON

do I just release them back into the wild?

can I even do that?

pls help

actually yes

pocket dimension shit going on, the balls simulate an ideal habitat inside

so a lot of the time we use them as travel carriers or if you're tight on space you can have the pokemon sleep in them

So a simulation... But not permanent. Okay. That explains some things.

[letsplayer]

pretty much

it's considered abuse to just leave them there for ages and never let them out but this is how we handle things like airplanes

or wanting to carry more than one pokemon with you at a time but not wanting six whole leashes

plus having a ball to go into is just how we figure out a pokemon belongs to a trainer and isn't just running wild

[nojohnyouare]

Understandable. Probably more manageable. Though I couldn't leave them there too long. A simulation... Nice, but not real.

[letsplayer]

yeah I pretty much never leave them there for more than a couple of hours at a time
