[video!] 1/6

[braveloyalhugs]

[The video comes on to Scorpia holding a cute yellow Stufful in her arms. In the background are four normal colored Bewears, and a bed piled high with Pokemon eggs. In fact the floor around the bed is piled high too. Scorpia is so happy she's almost glowing.]

Yesterday was really wild, huh? Those Snorunts were super cute! I made a new friend and somebody wants to make dresses for me! I can't wait to see them; they're going to be so adorable I just know it--

[Scorpia blushes a little and hugs the Stufful closer, getting hugged in return.]

Funshine here gives great hugs already! And I guess my Bewears got all excited about the new baby, because they had eggs! I was going to post about them yesterday but I got a little distracted. Anyway, they'll hatch into Stufful like this, but probably pink, and they'll evolve into Bewear, the Hugging Pokemon! Bewear have the strongest arms, so they give the best hugs! Right guys?

[And that's when Scorpia gets hugged by not one, not two, not even three, but four full grown Bewears. She hugs them back, laughing with delight! And somehow manages to twirl around, lifting the Bewears off the ground for a full second. There's a Stufful version of a "wheeeee!!!" from the center of the epic bear hug too.]

So, uh, does anybody want an egg? Stufful are Fighting types, and so's little Lonnie here! And then my Miltank, Gogoat and Ribombee all decided to have eggs too, so I have so many right now!

[The camera briefly shifts to show a Hawlucha, who waves briefly, and then pans to said Miltank, Gogoat and Ribombee, each proudly showing off their own pile of eggs.]

You don't have to give me anything in return, especially all my friends! I just want them to go to good homes, you know?

((OOC: so that's 8 way overpowered Stufful, 1 Cutiefly, 2 Skiddo, 4 Hawlucha, 1 Miltank, and then 1 Swirlix and 1 Phanpy that Scorpia isn't ICly aware of currently up for grabs. I'll try to keep the lists updated as they get claimed!))

[ohmylord]

I wrote up my egg listing! Shinobu spellchecked it for me and everything.

[And she'll send Scorpia the text file for the egg listing.]

[braveloyalhugs]

Oh wow! You have so many super cute Pokemon! I kind of want them all.

[Scorpia leans back, and wags her finger at herself.] That's a bad idea. We all know it's a bad idea.

[Then, sheepishly:] Um, can I have a little bit to decide?

[ohmylord]

Sure. And you know, if you want more than just the two for the trade, I definitely take money.

[braveloyalhugs]

[Scorpia is clearly trying for stern and failing miserably.] You! Are not helping.

[Then she bites her lip.] I don't really have a lot of water ones and the little blue ones are just so huggable! So, um, an Azurill please. Maybe one that knows some ice moves? Ice reminds me of my friend Frosta.

And the cute electric one! Dedenne! And I should really have more poison because it's really cool and useful for-- uh. Work.

Oh, oh! Your birds, the Swablu, they know Fly already, and I don't have any that know fly yet. But Hattena is even cuter than the birds--

[She groans and slumps out of frame.] I have a problem. Pokemon are just too adorable and cute. Help.

[ohmylord]

[Claudia isn't sure how Mareanie will be useful for Fight Club, but okay!]

So that's the two for trade, plus three others. I bet Mr Durante will give you an advance on your wages for them if you need it? He seems like a nice person.

[braveloyalhugs]

[Scorpia laughs awkwardly.] I got a holiday bonus, so money isn't a problem.

[She just looks around her at all the eggs.] Space might be just a little.

[ohmylord]

Ohhhhh. Well, maybe Mr Durante will let you keep some at Fight Club? Otherwise, I know they gave us extra spaces in the PC. It really helps with the eggs.

[braveloyalhugs]

Maybe! Stufful and Hawlucha are fighting types!

[Scorpia frowns a little bit.]

This is probably silly but I feel so bad about putting things in the PC. I know it doesn't hurt them or anything, but eggs should have love and warmth and care all the time, you know?

[ohmylord]

Yeah, I know.

[It makes her feel a little bad that she puts so many in the PC--but if she doesn't want them to hatch before they're sold, she has to.]

[braveloyalhugs]

Anyway, I found out something neat! It'll make your room crowded, but if you're in a city, you can just keep going back to the PC and have most or all of your Pokemon out all at once! And all the eggs too.

[Scorpia laughs.] Just maybe make sure to ask your roommates first before you do it.

[ohmylord]

[Claudia nods.] Mr Durante told Thace about that little trick last summer. It's mostly just good if you're going to be wherever for a long time. So Thace can do it because he's wintering with his friend, but I'm off with Shinobu while he does gyms and stuff.

But he's only got a couple left, so I guess once he goes off to Victory Road I'll go back to staying in one place again and then I can get them out again.

[braveloyalhugs]

Oh, yeah, if you're traveling the trick doesn't work very well. Traveling must be fun though! I haven't gotten to do it very much, since I'm working at Fight Club. I don't really mind, but maybe I'll ask for a couple weeks off once Steven's done with his turn on Victory Road!

[ohmylord]

I thought Thace and Mr Durante were waiting until spring to go down Victory Road because Mr Durante's from California like Dawn and hates being outside when it's cold? You could probably travel before they go, unless you don't like being outside then either.

[But Claudia was from Connecticut so she had no choice.]

[braveloyalhugs]

Yeah, they were, but I'm planning to do something for charity uh, soon. I'm not sure about the details yet, but it's gonna be awesome!

[ohmylord]

Tell me when you do! If I'm not busy, you could commission me to advertise it.

[braveloyalhugs]

Oh, would you? That’s great! I’m doing pretty well on money so I should be able to give you extra. So! What do you know about Bewears?

[ohmylord]

They're pink and black and tall and they like to hug you... but if they hug you too hard, they'll break your spine?

[Very basic Bewear knowledge in other words.]

[braveloyalhugs]

That last part is an exaggeration! Probably.

[Scorpia is quick to clear that up.]

But yeah, in their home islands, Bewears need lots and lots of space, and if people or Pokemon get pushed into their territories it can end badly. So there's this group that makes sure Bewears and Stufful have lots of protected space that doesn't get trespassed on, and makes sure to take care of injuries, and rehabilitate for the wild or rehome Stufful and Bewear that get taken by trainers who aren't good matches. I wanna raise a bunch of money for them!

[ohmylord]

Oh wow. That sounds like a really good cause. And you want me to do ads for that?

I'd love to.

[braveloyalhugs]

Yeah! Maybe even adds that the Bewear can hold too! Like, on stiff cardboard? I bet they'd love to show your awesome and informative art to people!

[ohmylord]

Oooooh yeah. Or maybe plywood, if I end up painting them. And I'll have Shinobu assist me--he's a really good artist too.

[Also, he corrects her spelling. Which she very much needs.]

[braveloyalhugs]

I can't wait to see it! I'm so excited!

[ohmylord]

I'm excited too! It's fun breeding and all, but I really love getting paid to do art.
