Aight... re: a little story about Pokemon Gold/Silver... and Gold Chocobos
A few years ago I worked at my first "grown up" job, which was this shady call center that seemed to exclusively employ weirdos - not discluding myself from this, mind. I was one of those weirdos, but the girl I sat beside was... something. I'm gonna call her "A" for clarity's sake.
First off, this is Western Canada and this girl looked like a character out of Jersey Shore. In 2014. This is the type of person who would dress up as a sexy Thing # 1 for Halloween, but instead of getting an orange outfit, she was committed to tanning herself to a bright orange for the sake of the costume. "Aren't you afraid of skin cancer?" I would ask. She gave no fucks. "A" was hilarious and very chatty, so I became friends with her quite quickly. We were both on different ends of the spectrum of messes who may or may not have done one too many party drugs. It was great! I had a blast working with her.
Anyway one day I was talking to a different coworker about the latest Pokemon game, as we would bring our 3DSes to work every so often. "A" kinda scooched on over and asked if we were talking about Pokemon. She never really expressed any interest in video games, but everyone likes Pokemon, so I asked her if she was playing it as well. She said no, but she really liked Gold/Silver for the Gameboy colour. I said cool, that one was my favourite as a kid, and inquired as to whether she had any particular favourites that stood out. She then casually launches into a story about her favourite Pokemon, Ditto.
A: Remember how you could put anything in the daycare with ditto, and it would make a baby?
Me: yeah! that was always so funny cuz Ditto can turn into anything!
A: Yeah, right! When I was a kid I tried to do that with my cats!
Me: Hahaha yeah, the weird shit we think we can pull off when we're kids hey
A: Oh no, it worked
Me: ...wha?
A: Yeah I locked them in my closet... they scratched at the door for a bit, but I left them in there until I heard thumping
Me: ................................
A: It was a brother and sister cat though, so the entire litter turned out r*t*rded. They were so cute though! We kept one that had 3 legs. Wanna see!?
Me: -laughing nervously- h-how old were you when this happened?
A: I was 10! My mom was so mad at me about it.
She then laughed and proceeded to clack her fake-nails away on her keyboard, as if that was a totally normal thing to drop on someone. The guy on the other side of me was speechless. "A" wasn't really the type to fuck with people for a joke. She did have a cat with three legs, as there were photos to corroborate. If it was real... that is some serial killer shit if I ever heard it.
