[Surprise, it's Botan! She doesn't give her usual call sign of "Botan here!" when the feed opens up, heck she's not even wearing the usual pink shaded traditional wear or outfits. Today it's a cheerful wave, a light blue kimono patterned with snowdrop flowers and...a whole mess of eggs?!]

Good morning, everyone! It's not officially winter or even December yet, but we're getting there, so I have presents for you all.

[Apparently it's the eggs.]

I've been gathering up my Fire and Ice types specifically to make this batch for the occasion, so if anybody is interested--

[A shiny Ditto pops up from the bottom of the frame making a sour face.]

--Oh, yes, and you too Jirou, sorry. [Apparently placated, Jirou oozes back away from the camera to the eggs, looking like a proud parent of indeterminate gender.] Anyway, please have a look over the list of what the eggs are and what they hatch into and let me know if you want some. They're free, so...really, don't worry about the price, just have a fun winter. Bye!

[The video shuts off. As she said, there is indeed a list to download talking about what the eggs are and what they'll eventually evolve into.]

((ooc: There's still plenty of eggs left so go and get them if you wanna!))

[Video] Time to IC ask for eggs

[cyan_maid]

...That's quite a lot of eggs, ma'am, if you don't mind me saying? Are you sure you wouldn't like to be paid for them? Because...if it's alright with you, I'd like to give two of those Vulpix a new home - the normal one and the Ice one, in particular, but it feels a bit unfair to just get two eggs for nothing in return...

[styxiedust]

Certainly! It is a lot of eggs. [Botan's curse of ending up with Pokemon that people leave behind continues.] I have no problem with it at all, dear, or with you taking two eggs. I already run a business separate from breeding, and it's almost Christmas for goodness sake.

[Let her be the indulgent mom, for goodness sake.]

[cyan_maid]

Oh, gosh - you're sure? Even if it is Christmastime, I'd hate to put anyone out...

[agent3]

Aah, y'got eggies!

[A little scratched and bruised from yesterday's encounter with BORBS, but not too worse for wear, Thida grins to see the familiar face. The last thing she should probably ask for, considering how much she dislikes snow, is an Ice type Pokemon, so...]

What's Eevee like? Seen 'em b'fore...

[styxiedust]

[If Thida was there with her, Botan would certainly have something for the boo-boos!! But since she's not there can only be a gentle smile and a nod.]

They're fuzzy little bundles of joy! [And she demonstrates this by showing an old picture she has of said bundle of joy.] I included them in this batch because--well, naturally they're warm, but Eevee also have a special aspect to them. They can evolve into almost every Pokemon type that's out there, including Fire or Ice. Not both, though, as far as I know there's no such thing as a double-typed evolution for Eevee.

[agent3]

Whoa...do a lot of 'volutions? But, only one, right? But they get t'choose...

[That's cool as heck]

Can I have one? Pleeeeease?

[bleedingunversed]

Could I get a Litwick when it hatches?

[styxiedust]

[Gosh what is it with people and mysterious texts? Well, whatever, if it's a preference--]

Sure, I'll set one aside for you. [It seems a little weird to want one after they hatch to her, but that could be for any number of reasons like fear of babies.] I should put a disclaimer here: yes, that thing you heard about Litwick's flame drawing out your energy is right. Generally speaking when you raise them young you can teach them how to not kill everyone around them.

[bleedingunversed]

[Well..she's got a point. If he does take it as an egg then he can have more influence on it.]

Good point.

I'll take an egg then.

[findingbeasts]

[Oh now how can he resist yet another chance to take on more creatures to care for?

He can't. Ever.

Which is why Newt appears on screen, having been in the process of organizing his new cabin near Ilex forest when he say Botan's message.]

You have Lapras eggs, am I reading that correctly?

[Someone sounds just a bit excited.]

And I have been wanting to take on an Alola Vulpix--they are quite beautiful and so different from their Kanto counterpart. Are you absolutely certain there's nothing you'd like in return, miss?

[styxiedust]

Yes, I do! Freya is a joy to have and I'm sure her children will be, too. As they get older, Lapras develop some psychic ability so I suppose you'll have to look forward to them suddenly talking in your head at you.

[But it's really convenient for people who can't talk to Pokemon!]

I'm very certain. All I ask is that you give them a good home, sir.

[findingbeasts]

Oh that won't be an issue whatsoever. It would be an absolute delight to have one to care for. [A pause.] Though..would..is there a chance I could take two on? I..I feel that having two of them would allow for even better socialization, better development and given the likely-hood of meeting one in the wild..

[He wanted his Lapras companions to be happy, alright.]

I promise you that will not be an issue at all, miss.

[badluckbabe]

[Jinx is bundled up in a sweater and scarf, apparently not enjoying the weather getting colder. She's also got a mug of something steaming on the counter.]

I've been meaning to add something spooky to my roster to go with my Pumpkaboo and Phantump. Do you still have a litwick egg?

[styxiedust]

Of course, dear! [Poor thing, bless. It's probably not going to be any better when it starts snowing.] Once it fully evolves it'll be a rather large chandelier, no pink in it but a nice black and purple. It should match your clothes nicely.

[Of course that's priority.]

[video]

[toxicodendron_isley]

[A Lapras, now that's interesting. She likes having Water types among her team. And Lapras could be very useful. A rare creature too. Endangered she's heard.]

I would be very interested taking one of those Lapras eggs. Are you sure you wouldn't like some compensation?

[styxiedust]

None. Absolutely none, the only thing I want is for my Pokemon's offspring to be cared for by good people.

[If they do Bad Things with the Pokemon, well...as long as the Pokemon aren't being mistreated it's fine.]

Yes, I'll put you down for an egg, miss.

[toxicodendron_isley]

How very generous of you.

I promise I will take the utmost care of the little one.

[bent_the_world]

.....That is a lot of eggs!

[Korra's not even looking for new Pokemon, that's just a whole lot of eggs!]

[styxiedust]

Yep!

[Breeder perks sometimes aren't that perky.]

I always end up left at the altar so to speak, except instead of handfuls of flowers it's lots of Pokemon. As a result, my egg batches are usually big even if I don't intend for them to be that way.

[bent_the_world]

I am really glad I'm not a breeder! Kaede's litters are enough for me!

[video]

[charcoalfeather]

[What? Mom is handing out pokemon eggs? Rakka knows she already has to take care of a bunch of them, but the offer is so tempting...]

I-is it really alright to just take them? You know, I could definitely pay for one, Botan.

[She has the money!!]

[video]

[styxiedust]

Yes I know.

But I won't take your money, it's a gift.

[video]

[charcoalfeather]

Oh.

...O-okay. Uh, well I have wondered for a while what kind of Pokemon a Lapras is.

[Hi Botan, this is a text from Haunter. Who is pretending to be Shiro.]

SMALL FUZZY PLEASE

[Isn't it doing a great job???]

text;

[styxiedust]

[Yes, definitely. A+ Shiro, sweetie, you're doing great.]

Which small fuzzy? Would it be the brown variety or yellow variety?
