foolishwren | 75. [Video/Action for Olivine City] Backdated to Saturday morning + afternoon

_{[So something happened that morning. Something ... owly.]

[What, exactly, do you do when you suddenly find yourself in possession of way more fluffy spherical owls than anyone would know what to do with?]

[... TRY AND MAKE SOME MONEY OFF OF THEM, OF COURSE!]

[Anyone in Olivine City, whether they've settled down with a house or are just staying there temporarily, may witness a rather odd sight on this sunny Saturday afternoon.]

[A teenage girl and a scruffy twenty-something man, toting bold-printed signs and... what seems to be a large red wagon full of Hoothoots]

[Behind them, a rambunctious oversized Growlithe, and-- a little further back-- a middle-aged fellow in a brown coat (despite the summer heat), toting a Togepi and a Pichu and keeping his distance, because it's totally uncool for a parent to walk right next to the kids while they're trick-or-treating (although either he or one of the Pokemon would seem to be filming them surreptitiously with the 'Gear on and off, judging by the snippets of Hoothoot Sale Adventures occasionally popping up on the network).]

[... Or in this case, being the best little owl salesmen ever. Even if Henry doesn't particularly look like he wants to be there. Still, the little parade almost looks like it needs some kind of ridiculous owl-selling theme music.]

[Throughout the day, if anyone has a residence in Olivine, they may have THIS show up on their doorstep:]}

_{[... And the girl will glance over at her companion, see that he's not planning on speaking up, and then clear her throat loudly.]}

HEY there, good sir and-or madam!

Would you like to buy an owl?

[ooc: Anyone over the network is free to purchase their own adorable roly-poly spherical owl for 500P! It's assumed that any left will be sold to people here and there in Olivine. Except for the derpiest two. Heather has special recipients in mind for those.]

_{[Oh Harry, you sneaky guy, you.]}

Pretty good, actually! We've made... _{[She pauses for a second.]} ... four sales so far!

_{[She bends down to give Lisa a pat on the head, as Cujo comes snorfling past the wagon. He must be BAKING in that shaggy coat of his, but aside from panting about ten times harder than normal, he looks pretty happy.]}

We-ell, not giving away, exactly.

They're 500P.

Gotta charge a little to make sure no weirdos just try to take the free stuff, y'know.

Getting one to Goldenrod'd be no problem, though.

_{[PRETTY SURE CAREBEARS PROBABLY WEREN'T A THING IN JAPAN SO IT'S COO'.]}

... Uh-- ... a kiddie cartoon. Never mind, s'not important!

_{[Fortunately with Pokemon physics, even birds seem sturdy enough to withstand plenty of hugging.]}

Hey, no problem!

I figure if anybody's gonna take good care of one of Claudy's babies, it'd be you.

Yeah, the wildlife can be pretty vicious. Route 29's fairly tame overall, though. Which is a good thing, I mean.

The starters are pretty much just babies when people get 'em. If that first leg was any harder, it'd be hard for them to take it.

I can't really blame him.

To be fair, the thing's been like... stalking him since he got here.

_{[Henry didn't talk much, but he had CERTAINLY been happy to relay the story of WALTER THE REINCARNATED SERIAL KILLER OWL.]}

Aw, you really think so?

Wow, only 500P? That's not bad at all! [She laughs.]

I think we can use those. The nurses are pretty nice and all.

[OH US AMERICANS.]

Okay...?

So, are you selling those?

I know, don't worry. Besides, I wouldn't get a pokémon just because it's free, I'm more worried what'll happen to the ones you don't manage to sell.

_{[NEXT YOU'LL TELL ME SHOWS ABOUT BRIGHTLY-COLORED MAGICAL PONIES ARE GONNA GET POPULAR.]}

Yep!

500P an owl!

C'mon, why wouldn't I?

Yeah, well, we're not DESPERATE for cash, and we didn't wanna be like... 'BUY THIS OWL FOR A THOUSAND, oh wait or you could just go catch one for free in the woods, there's that too.'

But yeah. If you're interested, you can have one!

[she giggles]

You have good motherly material too, you know.

Yeah, well, we wouldn't like... release them, or anything. Hopefully we'll find enough interested people around Olivine.

But yeah, every little bit helps.

_{[... E-eeeeuuuugh.]}

Uh-- ... aheh. Believe me, I don't.

Can't he just... you know, keep it in its Pokéball?

[I STILL DON'T GET THAT.

Hm. Give Aoko a minute on this. She's coming close to having a tight budget.]

Hm......I really want one, but I don't know if I should buy one.

Sure you do! You're kind, you're protective, you take excellent care of your Pokemon and your friends.

[She holds up a tiny fist.]

You're like... a mama bear!

[[bleach. Lots of bleach.]]

Left them alone too long?

[[long enough to not only get eggs, but have them hatch as well!]]

I suppose catching other Pokemon helps with that too as your first Pokemon won't get as tired from the battles.

Though I hope I'm nearly at Cherrygrove, I'm starting to get low on food.

_{[I DO BUT I'M ALSO AN ANIMATION FREAK SO THAT PROBABLY EXPLAINS IT.]}

Well, y'know, if you really want one, I could just... GIVE you one.

_{[Aoko's a friend, after all.]}

It's not like we're desperate for cash.

Well, he DOES, usually.

_{[But that didn't make the memories go away. THE HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE MEMORIES. But hey, the man told his stories largely through stick figure comics. So at least there was some entertainment value to be had.]}

Yep, that's the general idea.

You shouldn't be too far from Cherrygrove if you've been covering ground consistently.
