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.]

[[And lo, where there are birds, especially those in need of something, there is this birdbrain. With the dead eyed, emotionless look of a doll. With a Swablu napping on his shoulder.]]

You need homes for them...?

_{[... Ooh. That ... doll-eyed look actually spooks Heather for reasons far more deep-seated than just the general creepiness of it.]}

Uh-- ... yeah, actually... um.

They're 500P an owl.

[[Being that he's just about an inch away from being souless, it's quite understandable. Good thing he doesn't really have the ability to understand that, or be bothered by it.]]

[[He nods.]] I can take care of one...

_{[Yeeeeaaaah.]}

Uhh...

_{[Hm. She's not sure she likes the thought of giving one of Claudy's babies away to someone who wouldn't look out of place jittering along the ceiling in a Japanese horror flick. ... But best leave it up to the mother herself-- because suddenly a pair of piercing red eyes pops up in front of the camera.]

[IS THIS PERSON WORTHY?]}

[[There's a very subtle change of expression when it's suddenly a bird instead of a person, a sort of muted kindness, the ghost of a smile that really isn't there]]

Hello...

_{[... Hm... GOOD ENOUGH FOR CLAUDY.]

[The Noctowl shuts her eyes, pleased.]}

.... All right. They're, uh-- 500P apiece, if you can afford that.

[[a nod]] I can...

[[He actually has amounted a nice chunk of change now that he's learned the catch-pokecenter heal-release method of tending to beaten up wild pokemon.]]

All right.

D'you know how to use the transfer system in the Centers?

[[another nod]] Yes...

[[not one for excessive words, this one.]]

You can send the payment through there, I guess...

_{[Heather still looks unsure... but if Claudy's okay with it, she can't exactly reject the offer.]}

[[Before Mytho can answer, the napping Swablu shifts in her sleep, managing to slip off her perch and go tumbling obliviously, only to be caught almost instantly by Mytho's gentle hand. Without a sound or even waking her, he carefully sets her back on his shoulder, making sure she's safe before looking back at the gear. With how smoothly it all goes, it seems as if this is a semi regular occurrence.]]

When she wakes, I'll send it...

All right.

_{[... She pauses, then points a finger at the screen.]}

You'd better take good care of it, for the record. Just sayin'!

[[a nod]]

I will. Small things should to be taken care of and protected...

_{[Yep. LIKE DOLLS. Oh wait...]}

Good.

I'm glad we agree on that.

[[His canonmates would agree with that in various ways, both creepy and non creepy.]]

[[There's that subtle shift in expression that's almost a smile if such a thing were possible before he decides the conversation is over and ends the connection.

Manners are learned by people not being raised by a emotionally maladjusted jerk with a heart of gold.]]
