[Today's view of Ecruteak's Pokémon Center appears perfectly normal: the usual music is playing, the receptionist's desk is clean, and Cecil is smiling, with his hands clasped together and his right eyebrow twitching and- erm.]

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is a Public Service Announcement.

[A strange squelching noise can be heard from behind him, apparently moving. He ignores it.]

A Tentacruel answering to 'Lester' was found in the Ecruteak City Pokémon Center's women's bathroom this morning, unharmed and bearing a copy of '649 Ways to Bond With Your Tentacruel', along with two pairs of female undergarments. If you have any information about Lester's owner, please contact the Ecruteak City Pokémon Center promptly. Your cooperation would be greatly appreciated.

[A tentacle slowly slides up his left arm, finally resting on his shoulder. He ignores it.]

In addition, the Ecruteak City Pokémon Center would like to apologize for the disturbance, and assures all of its clients that such incidents will not take place again in the future. Thank you for your time.

[Cecil's smile looks particularly frozen as he turns the feed off.]

I'd be quite happy if I don't meet any at all. It looks like a pornographic woodcut come to life.

The picture would probably be less offensive than the real thing.

It's definitely a lot creepier in real life.

[paladinlost]

It's also much slimier.

[of-france.livejournal.com]

Well, yes. Of course.



Eww...

...His trainer must be worried about him. They'll certainly show up soon.

[He really doesn't sound like he believes it.]

I wouldn't show up.

Just owning something like that would be an embarrassment to admit to.

Unless they are the one who caused that behavior in the first place.

The owner still might find it embarrassing. It is quite the niche interest.

It's not as if we were planning to publish their name...

[of-france.livejournal.com]

The pokemon would be recognizable to other people now, though, so anyone who saw it would know about the incident most likely. Guilty by association of a sort.

Without the... items he was holding, he's nearly impossible to distinguish from other tentacruels. It'd not be too obvious.
