[Steven looks a bit weary--like he's not had the best two weeks, which he hasn't--but he smiles pleasantly at the camera anyway. Viewers will be able to see that he's sitting on a stool in front of the bar at Fight Club. Behind him two Hawlucha--one normal-colored and the other shiny--pose flamboyantly together with an egg between them.]

Regulars at Fight Club already know this and we've already put up flyers around our neighborhood, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to announce it here too. El Diablo Verde and La Hija Del Diablo--no relation--had another small clutch and we're raffling off one of the eggs here at Fight Club. Tickets are 500P and you can buy them at the bar upstairs during normal hours--no need to visit the ring unless you're into that.

We didn't have a supervising breeder, so I doubt the egg will be shiny, but we've constructed a list of moves they're likely to hatch with and it's... fairly extensive, actually, but since they're both the same species and El Diablo was part of my Elite Four team, that's not surprising.

Anyway, the egg should be born knowing these moves:

[Steven takes a deep breath and starts reading them off a piece of paper.]

Acrobatics, Aerial Ace, Bounce, Brick Break, Coaching, Detect, Dig, Drain Punch, Dual Chop, Dual Wingbeat, Encore, Endeavor, Endure, Feather Dance, Fly, Flying Press, High Jump Kick, Hone Claw, Low Sweep, Rock Smash, Roost, Sky Attack, Strength, Submission, Swords Dance, Tackle, Taunt, Throat Chop, Toxic, U-turn, Wing Attack and Zen Headbutt.

[Yeah. This baby is going to be a beast.]

We'll be pulling the winning ticket at midnight, this upcoming Saturday, at the first floor bar at Fight Club--but as long as you write your contact information at the back of your ticket, you don't have to be there for the drawing. If anyone has any questions, I'm here to answer them.

[... and OOCly how we'll handle this is that I'll make a top-level for people to sign up for the raffle under and then Saturday night/Sunday morning I'll RNG the winner.]

[Millennial Tree Cookie’s framing when he posts videos to the network is… usually pretty bad, because months of being human in a world with this level of technology have not taught him to hold the Gear level while he records. So, the fact that this video is only showing half his face, with the rest of the frame filled up by the frozen walls of Ice Path and the fluffy orange side of his Arcanine, isn’t that unusual.

What is unusual is that Millennial Tree Cookie himself looks completely miserable. He seems to have smushed himself as far into his Arcanine’s fluff as he can get, and pushed his scarf up under his nose, and… honestly, looks to have been sweating a fair bit more than one may expect from someone literally surrounded by ice.]

Is it… typical, among humans, to… experience abrupt temperature changes and, ah, leaking from the nose in cold weather?

It seems that time has come around and again and I'm seeing out another year.

I'll be hosting a celebratory gathering at Club Medusa tomorrow, beginning at 8 o'clock in the evening and continuing until...whenever it ends, I suppose. Drinks and food to be provided, of course, and entertainment as well. It should be a very enjoyable time.

I'm not going to confine the festivities to only close friends, but considering the point of it all, I do ask that if you attend you do bring me a birthday gift.

It's only fair.
