<sub>[True to her word to several by this point, Heather's almost back to Violet. Her end of the line has been oddly silent for the past few days except for a few snarky remarks or other brief conversations, and that's largely due to her... well... unexpected traveling situation. But she's dealing! It's okay. She's got this. Really.]

[.... Or not? When the camera comes on, it's Cloverfield-level shaky, with the view swiveling around drastically and showing flashes of bare ground and campfire-- and something green off to the edge that was probably James and a sort of interested-looking Harry Mason standing up by the fire and peering over in the direction of whatever was shaking the camera around. Somewhere behind the log he'd been sitting on, if the viewer was paying very close attention in the BRIEF INSTANT that particular spot was visible, they could see a very vengeful set of Furret eyes glaring over the log at Harry. But that context is a tale for another time.]

[For now, the camera finally turns to focus on Heather's face, and she looks wide-eyed and excited. The past few days've been hard on her, but the situation at hand is temporarily drowning out any and all weird emotional problems she might or might not be having.]</sub>

RISE! RISE IF YOU'RE THERE, THE EGG'S HATCHING!

<sub>[No punctuation and all.]

[The camera turns down to the large cream-speckled egg that Heather's last transmission had asked about-- its surface is shinier than before and reflects the light of the campfire. But more importantly, it's starting to wiggle around and crack. Heather wasn't NEARLY this excited about her other eggs, but this one is a ~*~mystery~*~ and it's BIG so she's sort of kind of wiggin' out.]</sub>

Oh? What is it?

[foolishwren]

Can't tell yet. It's cracking, though...!

[leafking.livejournal.com]

Do let me know when it finally comes out. I'm rather curious.

_{[It's awhile before he gets a reply, but he does eventually.]}

DUDE, IT WAS A DEER!!

[stupidera.livejournal.com]

[ He's just going to watch, hoping that it's either something cool or something super lame ]

Do all eggs take this long to hatch?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

The others I had didn't, but this one is much bigger...

_{[The egg's wiggling back and forth-- a few cracks have appeared in the top.]}

[Video]

[stupidera.livejournal.com]

I guess that makes sense.

[ His eyes are pretty much fixed on the egg now. Oh the tension. ]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[The egg continues to wiggle for... quite some time actually. In the background there's voices, Heather's talking to other people who are watching, the people with her are asking questions, etc-- but finally, there's a few loud SNAPS and the egg breaks apart enough to let out a-- ..... deer. A wet baby deer.]}

......... oh my god.

I'm here, I'm here, I'm here!!

[foolishwren]

_{[CUE PROLONGED SQUEALY GIRL FIT. ... She sure hoped it wouldn't be as disappointing as the Magikarp.]}

Can you see it okay?!

It's totally hatching, Rise. This is amazing.

[ video ]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Mm, I can see it fine!

[ barely withholding a squeal herself. ] This is so exciting!! And by the way it's cracking, it should be hatching any minute now!

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

What's it hatching into?

[video]

[foolishwren]

A deer!

Ohmygod Kaito it's a little baby deer.

You are jealous. Admit it. You're jealous.

_{[... He probably isn't. But in Heather's mind, he SHOULD be.]}

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

[... yeah he's not really jealous, but he is kinda of. Wtf over a deer hatching from an egg.]

There's a deer coming out of an egg?

[video]

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

WHAT IS IT?

[Not so loud, buddy.]

[video]

[foolishwren]

_{[It's okay, Sora. She's kind of being just as loud right back. Between her and all the curious onlookers speaking through her PokeGear, she's probably annoying the hell out of her two traveling companions.]}

IT'S A DEER!!

_{[And sure enough, it is! A LITTLE BABY DEER. WITH A STICKY NOSE. ... THAT IT'S TOUCHING THE SCREEN WITH.]}

[video]

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

[Oh my gosh look at the little baby deeeeer.]

I didn't know there were deer pokémon!

[Video]

[walking-the-cat.livejournal.com]

Ah, I wonder if mine will hatch soon too. [Looks at his MANLY AND PINK egg curiously.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Keep an eye on it!

_{[Maybe it would be a ~*~PONY~*~.]}

Re: [Video]

[walking-the-cat.livejournal.com]

But isn't there a saying that a watched pot doesn't boil? Do you think it will hatch sooner if I don't pay it too much attention?

I really want it to hatch soon. . .I'm excited to see what kind of pokemon it is!

[IT CAN HAPPEN (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LSlXckSSjZ4/TBEEGlIqx-I/AAAAAAAABY0/AXvXQy5-qdM/s1600/osceolaorg_mylittlepony.jpg)]

LETS HAVE SOME ACTION UP IN HERE

[2beamasonator.livejournal.com]

[Harry is oblivious to the furret behind him, but he's intent on watching they egg hatch! The last egg he had got was a fish which made sense sort of since fish lay eggs.... but this was a new egg and a new surprise! He's mainly keeping quiet since Heather's talking on the pokegear but.....]

.....A deer.

Huh.

[8| DEER DO NOT HATCH FROM EGGS. ]

Harry Mason is a MAN OF ACTION

[foolishwren]

<sub>[It's probably the first time Heather's said a word to him thus far that hasn't had that ever-so-slight underlying layer of awkward-- thank goodness for small blessings, because the excitement surrounding the hatching sort of temporarily shouted out the perpetual discomfort of having had to come face-to-face with Daddy so unexpectedly.]

[Her tone is bright.]</sub>

You should've seen my friend's egg. A sheep came out of that one.

_{[The deer was already starting to wobble around, and Heather put out an arm to block it off from the woods. Last thing she wanted to happen to the fawn was for it to go off into the forest and get eaten by a grue Raticate or something.]}

OH HO I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE

[2beamasonator.livejournal.com]

[glad they can be not awkward about something. Even if it is about brightly colored animals who hatch from eggs.]

Sheep and deer hatching from eggs. This place certainly doesn't run out of surprises.

[He just watched it happen so it's not like he can deny it, it's just..new. The deer was oddly cute though, kinda. It was better then an overgrown fish.]

Are you going to name it?

[Video]

[rewritethesky.livejournal.com]

An egg? Is that from a Pokémon?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[It's Namine! Heather tries to reel in her excitement a little bit, she doesn't wanna freak her out again after that... whole 'OH WAIT YOU DON'T KNOW ME LOL?' thing.]}

Yeah, all Pokemon seem to hatch from eggs.

Normally this kinda thing creeps me out but I guess when it's from an egg, it's okay!
