Someone gave me a small plush gnome to borrow and recommended that I include the gnome into the Poe and Gumby world. I'm just not sure of a few things with that. First of all, P and G don't really have a well founded relationship, they just do things together from time to time when there's a camera around. Secondly, I'm not sure threesome is what I'm going for here. It's so much easier to just come up with situations that could seem awkward or offputting between two characters.
Introducing a third person may be this pairs shark-jump. If you don't know what that means, I can't help.
Sorry, LV, I can't introduce the gnome just yet. Seems a little travelocity-ish and not quite what I'm going for. There's still a list of things the odd couple will have to go through before growing their circle of friends. I'm sure you understand. Plus, it's the odd couple, not the odd couple plus one. At least not for the time being.
Added bonus, you can record things into the gnome for him to repeat back to you. Right now, he sits on my desk at the office with "Oh no you di'int" coming out of him when you squeeze his belly in a high-pitched, helium induced gnome/dwarf/munchkin voice. Sorry, I meant "little person" voice.
