[Now that the wong has wound down somewhat, John's starting to come down from his happy high a bit. Not that this really means much since he's pretty happy anyway. Sure he was a little confused to find himself in a room in the Cianwood hotel this morning considering he was in Goldenrod last he remembered. But that's beside the point!]

[The point is, clearly, the small pile of eggs visible on screen behind him, being tended to by a Lopunny in a pink sweater, an Espeon, and an Altaria. John clears his throat. Rose has entrusted him with selling the eggs while she's out taking care of other things and dammit he is not going to screw this up! PROFESSIONALISM IS KEY.]

Good afternoon! My name is John Egbert and as you can see, I have a few eggs here that need homes. I know what you may be thinking: [He puts on a nonsensical voice.] 'but I just got an egg yesterday, John! I really don't need another one!' And that's fine, you are entitled to your own opinon but let me just ask you this. Do you know what's better than one freshly hatched baby pokemon? [A pause and then an excited:] TWO freshly hatched baby pokemon! Or more! Seriously, you can never have too many baby pokemon! Especially when they are something as adorable as an Eevee, Swablu, or Buneary! Which, in my humble opinion is pretty much the most adorable pokemon there is.

Uhm... [He falls silent. Where was he going with this? He kind of got lost in his spiel there.] Oh right! I almost forgot. Egg moves and prices! [He pulls a crumpled piece of paper out of his pocket, unfolding it and reading it. Seems Rose left him a note so that he wouldn't forget...you know. The most important part of selling eggs. Though John seems to take some issue with what's written on the paper, quirking a brow and mumbling to himself for a minute.] Are these really the right prices...? [And then he remembers that this is still filming.]

Oh! Um, I am just going to send this info as a text since it will probably be easier than having me list it off verbally. Why didn't I just do that from the beginning...

[Click! And then a text:]

eevee (p3000)
egg moves: iron tail, sand attack, growl, quick attack, bite, last resort

swablu (p3000)
egg moves: ice beam, agility, dragon rush, safeguard, dragon dance

buneary (p4000)
egg moves: fire punch, thunder punch, rain dance, thunderbolt, iron tail

if you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask! :D

((ooc: Claim post was here but obviously all the slots weren't filled. So what's left will be on a first come, first served basis!))

[[Taking all this in, she leans against the back of the couch a little, staring at the ring in thought.]]

...twenty one huh? [[With an amused chuckle, she sits forward to unwrap the two sandwiches, offering one to John.]] Here.

Or twenty, but yeah. [He takes the sandwich.] Thanks.

[He falls silent as he takes a bite, chewing it up thoughtfully.]

Why? Did you have a different age in mind? Is that still too early?

No, it's fine. And I never said anything about too early.

Well no you didn't but you kind of...giggled.

In relief.

Oh. Okay well that's good. [He takes a few more bites.] So uh...relief becaaaauuussseee...? [He raises his brows, hoping she'll finish that sentence for him. And elaborate more on what it is she's trying to get at here.]

Relief because I was hoping that would be your answer. That you meant it.

Well I certainly did mean it! With all of my heart.

And I'm glad. And again, relieved. [[Time to take a bite of her own sandwich!]]

So you're not... [He shifts a little in his seat, staring at his socks and then glancing over at Rose.] saying it was a bad idea or anything? Or that you don't... I mean...you're okay with it being real I guess is what I'm asking?

Yes. Actually I was worried you didn't mean it, because...I wasn't sure where that would leave me.

Well like I said, I meant it! So there's nothing for you to worry about there. [Sannnndwiiiicchhh.]

So uh, [He clears his throat.] Does this make us...you know?

Fiances? I'm fairly certain that's what it indicates.

[It's a wonder he didn't have a heart attack right then. Because it certainly felt like his heart just swelled up to three times its normal size at that.]

And you are positive you're okay with that?

I wouldn't say it if I wasn't, though I will admit I wouldn't want to tell everyone just yet. [[Because she knows that will bring judging, and while she couldn't care less what people think of her, she doesn't want to see anyone thinking poorly of John.]]

...oh. [He deflates a little, considerably less excited to hear that. That was going to be his next question.]

Edited 2012-02-20 06:31 (UTC)

...Just for precautions John. [[No please don't deflate.]] We can of course tell friends but...

No, yeah I...get it. Because it's kind of weird, right? Since...we're so young.

[And he does understand! Frankly, if he's being completely honest here, he's not all that surprised to hear Rose suggest it. It's just...when he's happy about something, he doesn't like hiding it.]

But as long as we don't have to hide it from Dave, Jade, and Vriska, it's okay!

I was actually going to write a formal letter to Dave explaining everything, as well as one to Jade asking for her blessings as your sister.

...oh crap I probably should have asked Dave for his permission, shouldn't I? Since without his bro here that makes him the man of your family, doesn't it? [Okay, now his genuinely happy face is back on. Because he's getting a giggle out of that.] I guess I should at least ask for his blessings now though, shouldn't I? Since that's the best I will be able to do.

...I...I suppose that does make him that, yes. And I suppose so, though I doubt with how insistent he is at receiving nieces and nephews he would say no to our betrothal.

Hahaha, well you're right about that. He will probably ask us when he can expect little mini Roses or Johns to start pulling at his pant legs when we tell him about this.

Oh I'm sure. I'll have to let him know there's likely only a week left. [[And with that she playfully indicates their eggs.]]

[He giggles and looks over at the blanket-covered, pink and blue eggs.] Yeah. I still can't believe we got the same eggs though. I mean what were the chances of that?

If I knew the approximate number of residents that received an egg, I could tell you.
