Having seen several mentions of the upcoming holiday season already, I suppose this is as prudent a time as any to raise awareness of Souji-kun's Breeding Centre and Foster Home for Pokemon — both fine places for anyone looking to acquire a new Pokemon. Though he's regrettably no longer among us, his legacy lives on in the form of these two institutions, and the very capable Saber-san has graciously taken up the charge of overseeing them in his absence. I myself can vouch for the reputability of the organizations, and likewise would personally recommend them to any trainers interested in augmenting their rosters or finding gifts for a friend or acquaintance.

Of the two, I'd particularly emphasize the existence of the Foster Home. There are many benefits to raising a Pokemon from hatching, of course, but there's likewise something undeniably rewarding about being the person to provide a good home for a stray in need. No matter what that stray might be.

That said, speaking of finding good homes for Pokemon needing one, it seems I have some eggs of my own to contend with. Anyone interested in acquiring one, please inquire within; I'll attach the list of types available to this post.


[OOC: And here is the IC post for this batch of eggs! There are still some left, so feel free to cruise on over and snag one!]

[And despite the cold, he'll be on the front porch with a nest of eggs beside him, wrapped snugly in a pile of blankets and covered on top by a happily snoozing Vulpix.]

[Along comes this stupidly-dressed teen. Seriously, the Cubone is more bundled up than him.]

Hey! Yagyuu, right? I'm Hiccup.

[As this is the first time he's actually Yagyuu... Wow, dude, you're sort of younger than he was expecting, even with your age-defying looks.]

[usedlaserbeam]

[Yeah, don't mind him side-eyeing a little there, Viking Bro, where is your coat, seriously.]

That's right. It's a pleasure to meet you. And this is Masako, my Vulpix; I presume she'll wake up once I try to get your eggs out from under her, so I might as well make introductions for her while I'm at it.

[Hey, he's got a hoodie. Good enough for a Berk viking.]

Masako... Looks like she's got quite the job, keeping all those eggs warm. [With a whimper to remind Hiccup that she's there and a squirm to get a better look, the little Cubone turns her eyes to Yagyuu and his Vulpix.] This is Valhallarama--or Val. I'm surprised she's not asleep right now, too.

It's more a mutually beneficial arrangement between the two of us, really. She likes to be near me, and it's better for the eggs this way as well.

[He gives Masako a fond pet, which makes her rouse and perk up a little.]

Have you enjoyed raising a Cubone? I have one, as well, and he's quite the shy little creature; I had to get him a friend in order to bring him out of his shell.

[newberktown]

I have, even if she's been a little moody lately--Stop putting that in my nose.

[Val reluctantly lowers her club again. It's his fault she's all "moody", okay? Getting another pokemon that wanted to be carried around... Really, Hiccup.]

Val's a lot like Masako, though--she likes to be held or at least close by.
