[VIDEO]

[Today, dear network, the 'gear is turned on not by its lazy mage owner, but instead by his Clefairy.

His Clefairy, who looks incredibly pleased with herself as she peers brightly into the camera.

"Clef clefairy fairy~" Look what everyone did~ It's not very long before she turns the camera toward a pile of eggs.

...A. Large. Pile of eggs. 40 of them... well, 39, discounting the one Eevee egg that's being rolled off and hidden under the bed by a certain Umbreon, but still. Lots of different types, too, by the look of it. o_o

Clearly, two certain someones are going to be thrilled when they get back to see all of this...]

[PHOTO about... half an hour later or so?]

[A bit later, there's a photo of a hand-written sign next to the pile of eggs, because hell if Ryner has the patience to attempt to type it out. At least the handwriting is legible?]

[INITIAL REACTION IS HAD BEFORE REPLYING and then this comes up]

Is it a common practice to buy and sell Pokemon eggs?

Video

[dreamsofahero]

Ah, it is, actually. I believe it's intended to be one of the primary ways for those classified as "breeders" to earn an income.

*...of course, this may or may not be less noteworthy than the fact that he still has horns from a certain incident a month or so ago, though they aren't quite as prominent as they used to be....*

[grapecape]

[The horns are noteworthy, but it takes Ondorus a moment to remember that they should be. Everyone was turned into a human, right? So why...]

That seems a little...

[unsure levels reaching capacity]

The questions raised by the culture of Pokemon training itself can be explained, but...trading in their young? Are Pokemon really seen as property in this world?

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

*blinks a bit at that*

Ah... no, I don't think it's quite like that. No more than catching them in the wild necessarily gives one total control over them or such. I think most people see it as an opportunity to care for and raise more different kinds, and the trainer or breeder selling them does so in part because the earnings help cover the cost of raising and caring for the ones who produced the eggs in the first place.

Though in any case, even between the two of us, there's no way we could care for that many eggs right now, and I believe our pokemon are aware of that. Certainly Ryner's have prompted him to offer their eggs to other trainers in the past.

[grapecape]

Hmm. [He's not totally convinced, but a lot of tension goes out of his expression as he listens.] I see.

That must have sounded like a accusation. I apologize for being so quick to judge.

Haha, it's fine, I figured as much XD

[dreamsofahero]

It still seems a little strange to me, admittedly, but then again, I suppose it isn't so different from something like buying and selling horses and such...

[grapecape]

I don't know much about that, either.

[He does sound apologetic.]

I suppose that as long as their eventual trainers are trustworthy, there's no harm in the practice...

[dreamsofahero]

Honestly, I doubt Dusk and Rose and the others would let them go to anyone they felt were untrustworthy, anyway...

[grapecape]

Of course. Children depend on their parents somehow.

[dreamsofahero]

Well, many pokemon seem quite capable of taking care of themselves almost as soon as they hatch, but I suppose that's true enough.

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

It's pretty common, yeah. Have to find them all homes somehow...

[Video]

[grapecape]

[p o n d e r i n g. . .



This reply comes about an hour later.]

I would consider buying one or more that you can't find takers for.

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

Really, you would?

[Video]

[grapecape]

Mm. Can you let me know later today which are still unsold?

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

I'll make sure to, yeah.

[Video]

[grapecape]

Thank you.

[So what's the verdict by that evening, chief?]

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

[Any OOC preferences regarding that?]

[Video]

[grapecape]

[nope. rng it or just stick 'im with whatcha got!]

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

[Awesome. So he calls back later that night, then.]

...Ah, are you still interested in our eggs? We have a Shinx, Absol, Litwick, and Nidoran that we haven't sold yet...

[Video]

[grapecape]

Yes, certainly. May I have a moment to consider?

[And in the meantime, he's stationed himself in a library so as to RESEARCH when the choice comes. So he spends ten minutes or so flipping through books, looking over the basics of the species...

...oh god it's so hard to choose. He really feels for the Absol, though, with that unfortunate history behind them...and Shinx seems similar enough to it in physiology that he could raise them like siblings, to stave off any loneliness...]

A Shinx and an Absol comes to P1500, yes?

[STILL FEELS SO WRONG but babies]

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

Yeah, that's right.

[Video]

[grapecape]

How will payment and delivery be handled?

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

Ah, well, if you're in Kanto, I'll send Gail or Lori with them - they're a Noctowl and a Xatu. Or Sion might ask Lofty, his Pidgeot. Not sure if they can fly all the way to Johto from here, though, so if you're there, we'd probably have to send them over that PC thing...

[grapecape]

I'm currently in Goldenrod City. The...PCs are accessible from Pokemon Centers, aren't they?
