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.))

Glad to hear it! I wasn't really too worried about that though. You don't really seem like the nefarious or dastardly type.

[Not that John would really be able to recognize a nefarious or dastardly person if they walked up to him and asked for an egg...]

[Unless the person had a curly mustache. Then you just know that person means bad news.]

[Everyone knows that! Although, truthfully, Ryoji wouldn't recognize one either unless they had the mustache.]

Neither do you! [That is the sort of thing you say, right--] Actually, a lot of people here seem pretty nice, don't they?

Mmmhmm! I have been here a year and a half now and I can't honestly say that I've ever met anyone who is anything other than nice.

[A beat.]

Okay, well excluding Team Rocket, obviously. But it's not like I actually talk to or know anyone in Team Rocket so that doesn't really count...

Team Rocket, huh...

[Forgive him, he's still pretty new. Hasn't heard all the dangers. Might have befriended a guy in it.]

They can't all be bad, right?
extinguishescandles: (oh really? while wearing galoshes?)

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-02 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Shrug!]

Probably. Who knows, maybe there are double agents or something. Every evil organization is bound to have a few softies who don't agree with the team goals.

I just meant on the whole. And the only ones I have first hand experience with kind of tried to steal my pokemon. And blow up the magnet train.

[Which was bad but at the same time kind of awesome. How many people can say they've been in a train heist before?!]

[Not many!!]

Thanks for the warning then, John-kun! I'll make sure to keep an eye out for them.

[video] this post is full of so many examples of my html prowess.

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-02 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
No problem! I think everyone here can agree that getting your Pokemon stolen would be pretty much the worst thing imaginable.
fullmoonfortune: (Ⅲ. let me know just how you love me)

[video] you're fine, you're fine! i didn't even notice.

[personal profile] fullmoonfortune 2012-07-02 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
I wonder what they do with them though... I can't imagine it's anything good, if they're as bad as you say they are.
extinguishescandles: (that's not good at all.)

[video] oh good ;w;

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-02 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
I am not entirely sure that I want to think about that. Because I really don't think it can be anything good. Considering that they were after some legendaries just a little while ago...

[personal profile] fullmoonfortune 2012-07-02 11:52 am (UTC)(link)
There are legendary Pokémon?
extinguishescandles: (well you see it's because shut up.)

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-04 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Mhmm! In this region there are two birds and three beasts. There is only one of each of them and they are all really powerful. Like...ungodly powerful. One of the birds caused a really huge storm last year. It was nuts.

[personal profile] fullmoonfortune 2012-07-04 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, they sound pretty fearsome. I'd be scared to meet any of them face to face!
extinguishescandles: (woah that's a full rainbow.)

[video]

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-04 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
To be completely honest...I think I would too. Like it would be cool and all but at the same time...

[At the same time they have big, pointy teeth and magical powers and he is a very small and squishy human boy.]

I wonder if they're aggressive towards humans... If not, then it'd be easy to make friends with them.
extinguishescandles: (that's not good at all.)

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-04 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shrug!]

It's hard to say. Because I would be willing to bet that Team Rocket aren't the only humans who have tried to capture them before. Hell, I doubt their latest attempt was their first.

So I kind of wonder if maybe they are distrustful of all humans now. Even the ones who would want to make friends instead of capture them. It's kind of a sad thought but I could easily see it happening. Especially since, at least in the case of the Johto beasts, all the legends I have read say that they run away from humans. Even catching glimpses of them is pretty rare.

[personal profile] fullmoonfortune 2012-07-05 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe they're just really shy. [...Or it could be all those sad thoughts.]
extinguishescandles: (oh no it's fine. really! promise!)

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-06 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm, perhaps! I guess that would be a much nicer alternative, wouldn't it?
