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.]

_{[Nah, Claudy was too serious to prank... although the bag was sort of her domain. If her eggs were gonna be laid ANYWHERE, it'd be there.]}

Surprisingly, yeah.

They're selling like hotcakes.

_{[Adorable, owl-shaped hotcakes.]}

Aaa, that's lucky! A popular type or just good salesmanship?

Actually, I think it's just the cuteness.

As much as I'm sure my EXCELLENT promotional speeches have been helping.

They are pretty cute, especially considering that owls are pretty vicious predators! Though I'm sure these probably aren't quite the same!

Well, Claudy DOES hunt, but... I dunno.

Part of the circle of life, and all that.

[[a nod]]

Like how Amane-chan still goes out and scares up meals from people even though she's not wild. Just a different sort of hunting. [[and non lethal. He'd feel really odd if one of his pokemon killed another.]]

She doesn't go after your others, I hope!

Nah, for the most part my Pokemon all get along. ... Well, at least in the they-don't-eat-each-other sense.

_{[They still FOUGHT frequently...]}

I guess that's the important part, ne? [[as he pauses to wonder how Zoku the ever cranky is doing. Must check up on the hate filled zubat later...]]

Think the young ones have that same disposition? [[since he's so tempted by the derpy puffs. He knows he needs to vary his team and hey, owls! Owls are pretty cool night dwellers so it's still in theme right? He just needs to look out for poor Annin who didn't fit the theme at aaaaall]]

Hopefully!

They all seem friendly enough.

Interested?

[[embarrassed as he rubs the back of his neck]]

Un, I think so, as long as there's no worry of it trying to eat Annin or anything!

.... We-ell... what's Annin?

[[before Bakura can reply, there is suddenly a cheerful "Pip!" and a hoppip danging down from Bakura's bangs, waving. Bakura almost sighs, but smiles fondly, moving the derpy puff to his shoulder]]

This.

... Oh.

... Uh. Hm.

_{[... It looks ... tasty.]}

... Iiiieeeee can't... make any promises.

[[Annin lets out a slightly distressed "Hop?" at that.]]

Aaa... that might be a problem then... Though as long as Annin is a higher level... [[as he ponders this, Annin attempts to flex his arms as if he had mussels. He's strong, he can take a low level owl! ...somehow]]

Er... as long as he's strong, he SHOULD be fine?

I mean... they ARE just babies...

_{[... Although they are all... now staring at Annin. In unison.]}

[[Annin's brave look wavers a bit before he dives into Bakura's hair to hide. Oh dear. Cue awkward cheek scratching from Bakura]]

He's level 20... as long as I keep him above level, I hope it'll be all right...

[[He'll have to keep an eye on this situation, it seems. Hrm]]

Yeah, he... SHOULD be okay...

_{[Look at all those occasionally-blinking red eyes. THEY ARE HUNGRY.]}

[[Annin peeks out before making a sound almost like a whimper and hiding again. So-- so many eyes...]]

Maybe you could pick one who has a laid back disposition, just in case?

Okay, I'll try and do that!

There's gotta be at least ONE mellow one in this bunch...

Un! With that many, there has to be!

[[meanwhile, he'll be trying to calm Annin and get him feeling brave again.]]

Right.

Well, I'll letcha know when I'm sending them out, okay?

OK! How much do I owe you? [[since she did say she was selling them, after all!]]

They're 500P apiece.

Not a bad price, huh?

Not bad at all! I can send it over once we hit town! [[which shouldn't be too long now~]]

Great! We'll hold onto one for ya till then.
