017, Video

_{[When the camera comes on, Heather is looking half-asleep, and very confused. It's daybreak and the sky is still pale overhead.]}

Uh.... Hey, Rise? If you get this, I got a question for ya...

<sub>[Because Rise is her buddy and she's the first person Heather remembers actually hatching something.]

[The camera turns to show a very strange object sitting at the foot of Heather's sleeping bag:]</sub>

This was... totally just... there when I woke up this morning. It definitely wasn't there last night. I haven't seen one like it before, either... I thought maybe Claudy laid it or something, but it's like... bigger than she is.

_{[Heather isn't the only one confused by the egg's presence, either-- the infamous Hoothoot, not hiding in Heather's pack like normal at the moment, is curiously investigating the egg and doing what appears to be a mildly-alarmed dance involving a lot of head-bobbing and moving from foot to foot (but minus the shitty music). The egg is, indeed, bigger than she is.]}

Any clue what it is?

... Or how it got here?

It's an egg, smart one. You don't need this Rise person to tell you that.

[foolishwren]

_{[Oh, god, another one? She HAS to start remembering to phrase that question better. At least Kovu is probably a better sport than Gokudera. ... AND Heather's a bit too tired and weirded-out to be really snarky right now.]}

Um, fucking durr, lion-o. I mean what's IN it. It's way bigger than the other ones I've seen and it doesn't have the same markings as any of them either.

Plus the others came from the ranch during a flood we had a few weeks ago, this one just sort of showed up.

[scarredprodigy.livejournal.com]

Well...it's a...pokemon egg?

[He laughs a little.]
Jeez, I don't know. Just wait for it to hatch and then you'll know what it is, Heather-o.

Or, you could just give it to your good friend Kovu, who won't bitch about it and just waaaaait.

[More chuckles. Oh, tease tease; jest, jest.]

[foolishwren]

_{[UGH WAY TOO TIRED TO DEAL WITH THIS UGH.]}

Paws off, I found it.

Anyway. Can't blame me for being curious. It's big enough that it sure as heck didn't roll on in from anywhere, and I think I'd have noticed if some huge Pokemon decided to stroll through camp and deposit a baby on the end of my sleeping bag.

[scarredprodigy.livejournal.com]

If waking up and noticing a huge ass egg like that counts as finding it, then yea, you found it.

I'm not interested in your weird little egg, so calm down.

[foolishwren]

'Little'? It's like... the size of my head. Hnph. _{[She reached over to drag the thing towards her. It seemed pretty solid... probably not going to hatch any time soon.]}

Anyway.

How's your Pokemon? _{[Considering the last she'd heard, it had been pulverized and sent to the Center.]}

[scarredprodigy.livejournal.com]

Ma'am? She's doing better...still needs a day or two to recover before we can move out again...and she's not happy at all with me. Poor Spin's afraid to go anywhere near her.

Pretty sure that's an egg, Heather.

[ Guess who's in a much better mood than the last time this happened? ]

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

Try as I might, I simply cannot understand the anatomy of Pokémon.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

That happened to me too!

[video]

[quickattackjack]

Oooh...it doesn't tick, does it?

That owl is fantastic!

[Up until now, he's only heard a Hoothoot, or seen pictures]

[mensouakira.livejournal.com]

Oh, you received an egg too!

[video]

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

Whoa, that's a big egg!

[1-2-jango-zzzz.livejournal.com]

Whoo! You laid an egg too?! That's totally rad Miss!

[ video ]

[ Rise was actually asleep, but she's used to having to wake up early, and after a moment or so, the feed turns on. ]

... I don't think we lost any more eggs. Not to mention I've never seen one that looks like that. That one's about the size Akari's was. Maybe a little smaller.

[foolishwren]

I guess I'd be pretty grumpy too after getting my ass kicked...

[Video] IT'S OKAY, YOU STILL DID IT AND THAT'S WHAT COUNTS ;-; <333

[foolishwren]

_{[And the delay has ensured that Heather's a little more woken-up and cheerful, too, so the reply Gokudera gets is an overjoyed:]}

DOPEY! I knew you'd pop up! Whatever would I do without your input?!

[foolishwren]

Yeah, seriously. My friend's egg hatched into a sheep.

It honestly makes me wonder if the HUMANS here hatch into eggs, too.

[foolishwren]

Really? You mean, an egg just kind of showed up? Does it look like this one?

[video]

[foolishwren]

... Tick? ... Wh- .... no, I don't think so. .... _{[JUST TO BE SURE, she held the egg up to her ear.]} .... Nah, I think it's bomb-free.

And oh-- Claudy? ... Yeah, she's... um... she's talented. _{[Now that the egg was in Heather's hands, the Hoothoot had waddled her way over and was now doing her special dance right up in the camera, which she was normally afraid of.]}

[foolishwren]

Yeah-- did this happen to a lot of people or something?

[foolishwren]

_{[Of course Jango would think that. ... Just... of course.]}

Wh- ... I did not lay an egg!

[ video ]

[foolishwren]

_{[Silly Rise, reasonable sleep schedules are for-- ... um, people who aren't friends with Heather. Or something.]}

Never? Jeez... I haven't even seen a Pokemon that's the same color as this-- well, I mean, Arty kinda was, but... the egg' kinda bigger than she was when I caught her...

What did Akari's hatch into?

[video]

[foolishwren]

Yeah, you'd think I'd have noticed when it was dropped on my sleeping bag...

_{[But she hadn't, because Melfina was a bitchin' sweet ninja.]}

[video]

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

Maybe whoever put it there was really careful?

...that or you're a really heavy sleeper.
