prank #28 video/text; EGGS

[ghostytrainer]

[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!))

You are going to wear it, right? Even though we aren't telling everybody?

[breedslilacs]

[[John, sometimes you catch her so off guard with questions like that. If it were anyone else, she'd take it as a passive aggressive jab. As "Since we're not telling anyone, you're at least going to wear it, right? Or are you taking that away too?" But with you...

You both make her happy and make her heart ache with questions like that.]]

Have I taken it off yet?

[extinguishescandles]

[He brightens at that, giving a happy sigh of relief. Slipping his right hand into her left, he gives it a quick squeeze.]

Heh...no, that you haven't!

[breedslilacs]

[[And she laces their fingers before he can pull it away.]]

Does that answer your question?

[extinguishescandles]

[Oh don't worry, he did not plan on pulling his hand away any time soon. However, instead of answering her he lifts his head from her shoulder to press a kiss to her cheek.]

Does that answer yours?

[breedslilacs]

[[Don't mind her humming in amusement.]] Touché, John Egbert.

[extinguishescandles]

So are we going to write Dave and Jade a letter? Or call them? I have to send one Guile and Lestat's eggs to Jade anyway so we could send them letters too. They're together right now, In Celadon City somehow.

[breedslilacs]

Like we are now in Cianwood? [[Nodding, she finishes the rest of her own sandwich with her free hand.]]

If you'd like to call them, feel free, but I have an obligation to write Dave a formal letter. I will need to pick up stationary later, as well as either a fountain pen or a quill and ink.

[extinguishescandles]

Yeah, exactly. I was glad to hear that they're both together though. It would have been awful if one or both of them had wound up somewhere all alone.

I don't want to call Dave if you're going to write him a letter though...that'll just ruin the surprise. But we can go get some stationery after dinner if you want. That way we can send Liv out to Celadon tonight.

[breedslilacs]

Jade just lost Soul and Dave would starve, so I'm glad they're together as well.

And that sounds like a perfect plan.

[extinguishescandles]

Yeah. [He pauses.] Speaking of...that. You don't think we're going to upset Jade are we? I mean I'm sure she will be happy for us but...I dunno. I just don't want to inadvertently hurt her feelings since Soul hasn't been gone all that long. Though...it would probably hurt her feelings even more if we don't tell her, won't it?
