Sep. 9th, 2009 06:16 amThe only job hours I managed to get as of yesterday were 2 to 4 on Wednesdays at Arts & Humanitarian. Upon talking to Mom about it last night, she said that I have a class on Wednesdays that goes to 2:20. I also had a bus ride home at 3:00, which I was able to cancel, but I'm gonna have to let Patty know that I'll only be able to start working at 2:30 today.

On her way home from work yesterday, Mom brought home a cat from Dad's workshop that she mistook for Mabel's brother. She kept it inside a pet cage, and tried to introduce Mabel to him, but she only got agitated and hissed at him. Mom then called Grandma Barbara, and according to her, Sid Vicious and Smokey took a while to get along even though they were brothers. She also spoke to Dad, who suggested that he go back. It was probably a different cat, because if he were also stray, he wouldn't look or act so nicely as he did.

Last night, I went onto AIM for the first time in a while, hoping to talk to Martin and see if he would be interested in discussing Magical Idol Ellen. Even though Jake had been on MSN still so much, he hadn't contacted me from there, but he did talk to me on AIM the first chance he got.
Something I previously kept a secret from Jake (except for when I first mentioned the fic) was that I intended for it to compensate for what he'd be missing out on by avoiding Parasitic Trio. I was afraid that if I told him that that's what I intended of it (and also as thanks for whatever ideas and help he did contribute to PT before shunning it), he would avoid that fic as well, and I'd still feel bad that he'd be missing out on one of the few Pokemon fics to involve Ellen getting breast expansions other such fanservice. When I offered to show him my rough draft of Ellen in her non-canon, blue, low-cut dress, he declined because of its association with PT.
As it turns out, he has no real interest in MIE. Ellen w/ Jamie isn't a pairing he cares about, and fanservice wasn't the only factor that formerly interested him in PT. He did mention that he liked the embarrassment factor in PT, but not how it's used in MIE. Even more importantly, he did like the idea of a novelization of the games, which PT was almost going to be, but he didn't think that that it would be the same exact plot as said games.
I'm not begging him to open up to PT again. I just see fit to clear this up only because it's been brought up. But I did say before that, even though PT would've involved game-like elements such as levels, types, and some non-canon stuff such as gemstones that can be held by Pokemon, it wouldn't have been a series of down-to-the-detail text-based clones of the games. Rather, it would show how I would make such remixes of games, while feeling natural and fluid enough to also be an alternate anime or manga series.
Anyway, the other day, I had brought an expansion of a scene in MIE, but I didn't bother saving the convo because I didn't like how it went. I had since planned to summarize said scene here so that I wouldn't forget, and I even refined it slightly and added an aftermath to it.
On their first date, Ellen and Jamie go to some dining park near a beach. For once, Ellen's constantly bad luck seems to be cutting her a break. A Skitty hops over onto their table, and shortly afterwards, a girl named May and her own boyfriend Brendan meet them. It turns out that said Skitty belongs to May.
So, things seem to be going well. After they chat for a short while, Ellen decides to show off her transformation to Jamie for the first time. Ellen's Jigglypuff hops into the air, fires the beam that dissolves her clothes as she starts spinning around, but then Skitty pounces Jigglypuff. Ellen falls to the ground, landing awkwardly on her butt instead of gracefully on her feet, still naked. Of course, she had been naked in public before, but her body glowed enough to block out her nipples and vagina. That glow is gone, and the next thing you know, Skitty pulls off Jigglypuff's ribbon with her mouth. Ellen, not thinking straight, chases after Skitty, still naked. May and Brendan aren't the least bit impressed, and Jamie gets embarrassed about having just had anything to do with her. May does return Skitty back into her PokeBall, and then hands Ellen her ribbon as she summons her clothes back on, before walking away with Brendan. As it turns out, Jamie has also walked away from the table, causing Ellen's heart to sink.
Later on, at the hotel room that Ellen and Jamie booked, Ellen finds Jamie on the bed, obviously pissed off. He rebukes her about chasing after something so simple as a ribbon while she's naked. Ellen explains that said ribbon was supposed to become the bikini that she would normally wear after transforming. Luckily for her, it occurs to Jamie that he's never heard of a girl spinning around in midair and glowing, or a Jigglypuff causing said girl's clothes to come off, so he gives her a second chance with him only if she proves that that's really what it does. So, she transforms, gets it right this time, and does manage to get on his good side again, though it would've been a lot more impressive if she had gotten it right the first time or if he wasn't so mad to begin with.
Even though she's back on good terms with him, Jamie decides that they should leave the next morning, so as to preserve his own dignity.
