prank #30 | video+text; GHOST EGGS

[It's kind of hard to miss the three very large ghosts, a Dusknoir and both varieties of Jellicent, floating behind John when he turns on the feed today. Though they are hardly the only ghosts in the room. A Froslass floats lazily around the room, occasionally sending a stream of snow at the Dusknoir or the Spiritomb that sits on the floor. Both of the ghosts in question are doing their best to ignore this, though the Dusknoir Seems to be doing a better job of it. On John's shoulder sits a tiny Litwick.]

So if it's been over a year since an ectobiologist actually did something involving ghosts and biology, can he still call himself an ectobiologist? [There is a very slight pause.] No! Of course he can't, duh!

[John pans the camera over to the bed where there is a small pile of eggs wrapped in knitted blankets of varying colors. A Golett sits next to the eggs, eying them curiously. There are probably somewhere around twenty eggs or so, of several different varities:]



So, as you can see, I did something to fix that! [The camera pans back to John.] Now as much as I would like to, I obviously can't keep all these eggs myself. Pretty sure that would max out my PC storage. So I am sell--

[He cuts off as the rock-looking egg with the swirl on the front is shoved in front of the camera. It is followed shortly by the Golett's face. It nods excitedly, looking about as happy as is possible for an animated rock-ghost and points to the egg.]

Giant...

[The Gollet just keeps pointing, spinning the egg around so that it's visible from all angles. Oooo! Aaaaa! you are impressed and you want to buy this egg. But as impressed as you are, the same cannot be said for John who is now trying to push the Golett out of frame with little sucess.]

Giant, come on stop. You aren't helping! Just kind of inturrupting hones-- no Chandel, not you too!

[There's a happy almost squeak-like noise from the Litwick as she flies over to the bed to try and "help" too, john following after her. Though the eggs are much too big for her nubby little arms. It's a shame this part can't actually be seen on film, it's actually quite cute. Before this situation can get any more out of hand, the Dusknoir moves over to the camera, easily moves the Golett out of the way, picks up the camera, and ends the feed. A few moments later, a text is sent out.]

sorry about that.
anyway. eggs, selling them.
i am happy to answer any questions about the parents, eggs, and/or ghost types in general.
here's prices and junk:


[And then there's a list of species, quantity, and egg moves.]

((ooc: Claim post is the aforelinked link. I just didn't feel like posting that list up a second time. There is still a small chunk of unclaimed eggs, so have at 'em if you want 'em.))

Nah, they're more like...controlled paradoxes, I guess you could say. Part of the process is dependent on the fact that you can't create a paradox, actually. When you try and appearify a person from the past, obviously that would create a paradox since a person can't be in two places at once. So instead of appearifying the person, all you get is a bunch of ghost slime imprint that contains their DNA. But then you can use that slime to make a baby paradox clone of the person. Or combine it with somebody else's slime and make a paradox clone child. If you're successful, then the babies are free of mutations and they go back in time to grow up to become the person you attempted to appearify in the first place.

[Regretting it yet, Smoker? Because it really seems like he's serious about this.]
justicereigns: (what was that?)

[personal profile] justicereigns 2012-07-05 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Appearify?" Is that even a real word?

[He refuses to have regrets! But it's definitely getting closer by the second. Smoker's used to some pretty bizarre "science" mumbo-jumbo but this is really out there, even for him.]
extinguishescandles: (that makes me smile!)

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-06 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Where I come from, it is! Basically it's like...summoning and teleporting rolled into one. Made possible by a big machine. Though I haven't actually used the technology for anything other than ghost slime.

[That's Homestuck for you: so out there it's not even in proper orbit anymore.]
justicereigns: (Thinking)

Duly noted. So here you breed ghost pokemon because it's similar, though no appearifying I take it?
extinguishescandles: (that makes me smile!)

[video]

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-07 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, no appearifying. I figured it was probably as close as I could get. Since...it involves ghosts and biology, technically. So it's still ecto and biology. That and, not only do I have a lot of ghosts, but I have bought quite a few eggs during my time here.

I thought it might be nice to return the favor, so to speak.
justicereigns: looking over shoulder in the dark, heading up the stairs, justice on the jacket clearly visible (justice in the darkness)

Well, I hope you find good homes for all of them then.

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-08 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope so too. So far it's been going pretty well!

[Realization, get. "Business man" mode: engage.]

Say, you wouldn't happen to find yourself in need of a ghost, would you Smoker?
justicereigns: (Aokiji's office)

[personal profile] justicereigns 2012-07-10 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Not really. Ghosts aren't really my thing.

[But John is very hard to say no to...] What eggs do you have there? Any dual-types?

extinguishescandles: (oh really? while wearing galoshes?)

[video]

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-11 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I had a couple of dual types, electric, fire, water, ice, dark, ground, and flying...but I only have a Gastly and Misdreavus left now. Gastly is part poison though!

[Also they are the best ghost type.]
justicereigns: (I'm listening)

[video]

[personal profile] justicereigns 2012-07-11 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Ice? [Nah, he's not interested in gastly or poison. Luffy's got a gengar so...]

Oh, but I guess if you don't have any left, don't worry about it.
extinguishescandles: (well you see it's because shut up.)

[video]

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-13 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, ice! Snorunt, to be exact, though they're a little weird. Only the girls can be dual typed, though they don't have to be.

But if you're interested, I can always breed one for you next month.
justicereigns: (Thinking)

[personal profile] justicereigns 2012-07-14 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Hm... Perhaps but I was thinking of a male one. My boss uses ice back home. It reminds me of a pokemon actually

[So he's going to name it after him.]
extinguishescandles: (oh really? while wearing galoshes?)

[video]

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-16 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? How does he remind you of a pokemon, exactly?
justicereigns: (che)

[video]

[personal profile] justicereigns 2012-07-18 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
It's his devil fruit. Then again, Tashigi reminds me of pidgeys, so close enough.
extinguishescandles: (could you repeat that?)

[video]

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-20 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Devil...fruit?

[He's picturing som kind of angry demonic, pissed off orange right now. Just a liiiiittle bit off there.]

What's that?
justicereigns: (getting stronger)

[video]

[personal profile] justicereigns 2012-07-27 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
It's a cursed fruit that when eaten gives the user a power, but curses them for life.

Each one is different.
