Yes, that's true. I think we brought a little bit of Night of the Lights to this place, last year.

[Boober gives a rusty-sounding chuckle of his own.]

And we... we should talk more when you're traveling, this time. I mean, postcards are all well and good too. But the Pokegear is faster, and you can tell me what you've been getting up to. That way, I'll know what kind of laundry to be ready for, and how much of it.

[It's a playful, teasing comment, but it's also not like he doesn't mean that part, too.]

[He gives him a warm smile at the mention of the holiday. Boober himself may have no memory of celebrating it back home, but bringing it here sure did have a wonderful magic all its own.]

Oh, that sounds great! I can definitely keep you updated with the PokeGear, show you all the different Pokemon I'll have met. [He snickered after a moment, good-naturedly.] And what kind of mud I've been going through.

It'll be interesting to hear about the ones you're meeting. I'm not complaining about sticking to cities, not one bit! Still, it has been a while since I've seen what pokemon an unfamiliar area has to offer. This way, I can find out more about them without having to go anywhere.

Just don't forget about the mud, too. Preparation is crucial to proper laundry care, Gobo. Crucial.

[gobetween]

You bet! It'll be like my Uncle Matt's postcards.

[Wait that's actually a really cute idea. HMM.]

And awwh, I was kidding Boober. I try to avoid mud when I can, you know that. As soon as it soaks through your clothes you're sunk for the day. [A small little scoff.] Good luck keeping warm! And the Rock help you if it gets tracked into your sleeping gear.

[At first, Boober just kind of... Looks at Gobo, after that talk about mud. It's not that Gobo's points are bad, not at all, it's only-- Well-- Knowing all that much about mud? Just general mud?

But then, Boober figures that's probably how others - fraggles or otherwise - see his laundry knowledge; it's not that they doubt his expertise, but the appeal is lost. He may be brave and heroic, but Gobo is also a bit of a weird guy, himself. It's nice to remember that.]

And yet you still want to go around out there, where rain could turn any place muddy.

[A pleasant reminder doesn't mean Gobo is spared any sass, of course.]

[gobetween]

You say that like I'm gonna be outside in the rain!

[He had to laugh at that, giving Boober a light smirk.]

Which okay, that may be fair. I'm not one to let a little rain stop me, and some of my Pokemon really enjoy it! But that doesn't mean I'm seeking out the mud that makes, either.
