[Today, on the network, you may behold eggs! A large pile of eggs! Eggs upon eggs upon eggs upon eggs upon-

Ah, wait. Make that eggs upon eggs, the endless reflections of those eggs upon eggs, and a Cecil who has long given up the good fight (also endlessly reflected).]

Would anyone be interested in buying these eggs? The Magikarps and Caterpies cost P500, the others P1500, I offer plenty of deferred payments plans and even a free handmade egg pillow with each delivery. I'm willing to consider egg trades for certain species such as Magby or Espurr; ask for details if you're interested.

[He then sighs, looking over the pile once more.]

Please also note that the Lunar Gym may be closed tomorrow and Tuesday nights, due to a slight... mess in the battle room. Thank you.

[Gee, what kind of mess could it possibly be?]

As a matter of fact, there is!

[He just... needs to crefully extract it from the pile first, that's all.]

Are there any specific traits you're aiming for?

[bent_the_world]

Nope! I don't care about that at all, I just love Lapras and haven't been lucky enough to catch one or snag an egg before!

[paladinlost]

Is that so? That's a shame. On the day I caught Tida, there was a whole swarm of them everywhere by the sea... But at least her children can now offer those who missed it the opportunity to train such a lovely species.

[bent_the_world]

That is really lucky! I missed that swarm.

And hey, I live on the beach, so I'm all set up for a Lapras!

A perfect environment to raise one indeed. They can live without issues in smaller ponds, but easy access to the see will surely help it thrive.

[Korra turns her gear, the screen slowly panning from her face and a bit of house outside wall behind her....to a sloping hill that melts from island greenery into the white sands of the beach. There's a little stone and palm wood path leading right to it.]

That's about as easy access as there is, my front door leads right to it!

[The view earns a whistle from Cecil. Niiiiiice.]

What a well-situated house! I've no doubt your Water-types are pleased by your choice, especially. Is this one of those southern islands? The plants are unlike those found in Olivine or Fuchsia.

Oh yeah, it's great, I live on Three Island!

The house used to be a fisherman's shed - for storing nets and poles and tackle boxes and a little boat - but I guess after his wife had their fifth kid, he figured it was time to cut way back on the fishing. The shed was just kind of falling apart, so I got it really cheap. Then my friend Botan and I fixed it all up and converted it into a little house, with electricity and running water and everything.

Their tourism board should pay you for showing your home on the network. It's a very efficient way to attract visitors.

[Seriously, he's now tempted to go down one of these days.]

Here I was, thinking landscaping was hard work... Were your Pokémon at least able to help you? I've seen construction crews at work; some of those tasks would take ages if it were only the two of you...

Video

[bent_the_world]

Oh yeah, both our Pokemon helped out a lot! But really most of it was just sanding off the old paint and repainting it...and it's really tiny. Here, lemme show you.

[Korra lifts the gear a little higher, to show the tiny house behind her.]

And I'm really good at hard labor anyway - I made my outside furniture from palm trees downed by wind and stuff.

[paladinlost]

My, it looks delightfully cozy! Very cheerfully painted, too. I love the color.

[It's also possibly smaller than his room in Baron Castle, but if it works for her...]

You made it all yourself? I'll have to ask you for tips one of these days; my meager wood-working skills barely keep my chairs in one piece.

Video

[bent_the_world]

It's very cozy. Thanks! Blue's my favorite color.

Yup! With some help from one of my Pokemon. I can't hold the knots and tie them at the same time. Sure! Chairs and tables and stuff aren't that hard.

You may not find it difficult, but it's still a very useful skill that few people possess. I've no doubt it'll allow you to live comfortably as long as you wish.
