[Good morning, Johto! How're you liking this lovely view of...well, what appears to be a hardwood floor, some table legs, and a partially ajar closet? Seems like Yagyuu's Gear must've fallen off an end table and turned on by mistake — or, more accurately, got knocked off an end table by a careless Jolteon as he jumped from the table onto the closet doorknob to try to swing it open and then stepped on by a Flareon by mistake. Not that it shows from the recording, of course.

What does show from the recording, on the other hand, is a very nice shot of that floor, those legs, and that closet, and perhaps that's all there is to —

Wait.

There goes an Eevee, rolling a blue egg along the floor with its nose, and after some vaguely haphazard maneuvering involving padded feet and a slippery floor, it and the egg disappear behind the open door of the closet.

Curious.

About twenty seconds later, along comes a Vaporeon, pushing a light brown egg along the floor with sweeping motions of its tail, turning and pivoting with careful precision as it rolls the egg behind the open door and into the closet.

Hmm.

Another few members of this little egg parade follow shortly thereafter — a Leafeon, a Flareon, a Glaceon — each rolling their egg along, and each depositing it in the closet. Finally, a Jolteon comes along with an egg of his own, and this time he's got company with him: a curious Zorua, who comes bounding over and chatters quietly at the spectacle. With a few yips and squeaks of his own, the Jolteon goes back about his business, and like his brothers, deposits his egg into the closet.

Seemingly perplexed, the Zorua appears to consider this, then bounds around the door and into the closet himself. A few moments later, a child that looks conspicuously like a very young, childish Yagyuu (albeit one with a delightfully furry black tail) comes toddling back out, rolling the light brown egg along with it — just as footsteps begin to sound against the hardwood, and a set of legs in Rikkai-yellow warm-ups and tennis shoes appears.]

...And just what are you up to?

[The miniature Yagyuu looks up, tail wagging almost guiltily; as Yagyuu bends down to retrieve the egg, he seems to notice that his Gear has fallen (and more importantly, that the light that signals it's recording is on), and quickly reaches over to shut it off.]


[OOC: And here we have an IC egg post! There are still eggs available at the OOC roundup over here, for anyone interested in snagging one! Also, please assume this post is forward-dated a few hours to Monday morning. ♥]

[Astrid looks somewhere between amused and puzzled.]

Why are they putting them in the closet?

[video]

[usedlaserbeam]

..."Them"?

[Hold that thought, he's going to go play back the whole tape in advance so he can watch it and figure out at least some semblance of what's even going on here.]

...Well. It appears I have a conspiracy on my hands.

[She waits.]

So they aren't supposed to be doing that?

[video]

[usedlaserbeam]

Not in the least. Not that that's ever stopped them before, to be quite honest.

[video]

[punchandkiss]

Is it a hiding instinct or something?

Maybe it's warmer in the closet?

[Shiraishi tilts his head. That's something he hasn't seen before...]

Is it even safe to roll eggs on the floors?

video

[usedlaserbeam]

I suppose it is if one does it carefully enough, Shiraishi-kun.

video

[kyoukashotennis]

I guess... [It's still a weird way to treat eggs.] Did you figure why they're doing it?

[usedlaserbeam]

The Eevees, you mean?

[He'll always think of them as "the Eevees", really, even now that they've evolved.]

I believe they were trying to hide them from me.

[aidolmaster]

Awww, is the Egg Parade over?

[video]

[usedlaserbeam]

I can only hope, if for no other reason than it means they've run out of eggs to hide.

[video]

[aidolmaster]

Why were they hiding them?

[video]

[usedlaserbeam]

I can't say for certain, but I suspect it's because they think I'd be upset at the discovery of them. Perhaps they thought if they hid them, I just wouldn't notice; it's true that I don't look in this particular closet very often.

[melodicnocturne]

That...is a lot of eggs.

[video]

[usedlaserbeam]

It's more than I'd care to have, certainly, but it could be much worse. My team saddled me with twenty of them, once.

[video] /handwaving the list from that OOC post I guess?

[melodicnocturne]

T-twenty!? Yikes!

Well...uhh, if you could give me a quick run-over of the litter I might be able to help with that. I'm always looking to expand my team.

[usedlaserbeam]

Suffice to say, it wasn't an experience I look back on fondly. Nevertheless...

[He's rummaging in the closet now.]

This one seems to be a Munchlax...and I recognize this one as a Riolu. And that, I believe, is a Stantler, if that's the sort of thing that interests you. Do any of those strike your fancy?

[ Kyrie's grown used to the reliable fact that people will Flip Out if they see her hair currently; as an after-effect of those strange abilities she ended up with, it comes as a shock to anyone who's known her. So he'll have to excuse her for defaulting to text. ]

You're handling this a bit better than last time.

[Hey, it's always nice to hear from you, Girlfriend-san, no matter the medium.]

I was also trapped in a cave the last time. At least here I'm in the comfort of my own home.

Here I just thought you were shy about the subject.

[ Nero certainly is and boy does she enjoy teasing him for it. ]

I'm afraid not. It's not that I dislike the eggs in and of themselves; I've hatched plenty of them in my own time without trouble. I simply had a bad experience several months ago when a certain member of my roster decided to saddle me with six of them at once — and then refused to let me give any of them up.

video sklfnlskd I'm so late

[justicareplica]

Oh, my! Do you need any help with that?

video | you're fine, no worries!

[usedlaserbeam]

I certainly wouldn't mind some assistance in disciplining the Eevees, but I'm afraid their behavior may be beyond salvation.

video | so kind ;u;

[justicareplica]

The little ones can be troublesome sometimes, ne? But I'm sure they don't mean anything bad and just want your attention, sir.

[usedlaserbeam]

I'm sure that must be it. They are still only children, after all.
