[ The video feed is definitely coming on with Bakugou trying to shove a Frosmoth away. Like outside away. ]

YOU'RE RIGHT TO BE INSIDE WITH EVERYONE ELSE HAS BEEN REVOKED!

[ Because if someone were to look around, they'd see a rather distressed Scolipede and Vulcarona off to the side with a neat and tidy little pile of eggs. ]

THIS IS YOUR DAMN FAULT! SHITTY HAIR NEEDS TO KEEP A TIGHTER LEASH ON YOU!

[ Of course the Frosmoth isn't the only issue. There are far more eggs there than what the bugs could produce on their own... So where did they all come from!? ]

AND YOU OUT THERE! TAKE THIS SHIT OFF OF MY HANDS!

Comments

[floatsaway]

[She just grins.]

What sorts of eggs did you get, anyway?! Can I have one, if you're giving them away?!

[DO ANY OF THEM CONTAIN THE SWEET PRECIOUS FUZZY BABY THAT RIBBONS IS?? +__+ Though, really, Ochako will probably take most of the cute babies...she's easy like that.]

[apshot]

BUGS! A HELLUVA LOT OF BUGS FROM THE LOOKS OF IT BECAUSE SHITTY HAIR'S SHITTY MOTH CAN'T KEEP HIS JUNK TO HIMSELF!

[floatsaway]

Bugs? [The disappointment is evident in Ochako's voice. She's...not exactly a fan of bugs, really. And even more ever since Jirou's ASSAULT on poor Present Mic, but--] I-I mean...that white, fuzzy moth before was kind of pretty, I guess. I guess I could take one.

Yoooouu....don't have any that are the kind that Ribbichan is? [Finger poke. LOOK. SHE WANTS AN EEVEE. SHE WANTS AN EEVEE SO BAD.]

[apshot]

If there is one you can have it. I don't really give a -

[ At the sound of her name you know who is going to pop up? Ribbons. That's who. Although she's not really an Eevee anymore? Ochako probably hasn't seen her in her Sylveon state yet...

But she's still poking her head up to say hi! ]

Get the fuck down.

[ Spoilers: Her little ear ribbons as an Eevee have been transferred to her tail. ]

1/2

[floatsaway]

[Lol bye, Bakugou, the moment that Ochako sees that precious sweet angel child, you are kicked to the curb in terms of conversation. Outmatched by a fairy dogfox...cat...thing.]

UWAAH!! HI, RIBBICHAAAA--eh?

2/2

[floatsaway]

Ehh...you look different now.

[Howmst the fuck? Ochako tilts her head left and right, trying to get a better look at the now Sylveon. None of her own Pokemon have hit a level in which they've yet evolved (though a few are very close), and her concept of 'evolution' from the guidebook is, uh...very different. Ochako's still not yet acclimated to how this world really works, and fits in the oddities with her own scope of knowledge, which...doesn't fit into this world that, in her logical mind, makes fucking zero sense sometimes.

Still. Cute and now very pink child in front of her. So--]

You're still so pretty and cute though, ehehe!! I see you got some new ribbons, too. They're so nice! Is Bakugou-kun still taking good care of you? Is that why you look different now? I bet he spoils you like crazy when no one's looking.

[apshot]

Of course she looks different. She ended up evolving around the twentieth of last month.

[ His birthday, of course. What are the chances? High, more or less. A gift that Bakugou had received had been passed onto Ribbons and she had liked them so much that, well. Here we go. One Eevee that is now a pretty little Sylveon.

One that's wiggling her little ribbons for all to see. She coos right back at Ochako as if to say "affirmative!"

But then Bakugou's trying to shove her out of sight again. ]

[floatsaway]

Evolv--OH!! [Ochako perks up and looks a mix of delighted and horrified.] I can't believe I missed your birthday!! I'm so sorry, Bakugou-kun!! Mmh..at least you got a super nice present from Ribbichan...

[She still doesn't really get the concept of evolution, considering none of Ochako's Pokemon have evolved just yet, though some are very, very close to. Literally a level away. But she'll understand, maybe, when it happens. For now, Ochako just snickers at the two cuties in front of her and grins wide.]

Eeeh...I always knew Bakugou had a secret soft side. It's why everyone likes him. Even when he acts so mean.

[apshot]

The hell does that matter?

[ His birthday isn't that big of a deal. And prom was... Well that had been a thing. A thing that's better left not touched and it happened right before his birthday. So the two are kind of linked at the moment.

Besides. There's something more important being hinted at here that he needs to correct! ]

I'M NOT SOFT!

[floatsaway]

I would have liked to say happy birthday to you!! I always try to remember my friends' birthdays, and I would have gotten you a card or something. Maybe a cute treat, too. I used to do that with my friends in middle school.

[Ochako wasn't...really around for the Prom, so she doesn't know about it very much, or at all really, so she just sort of...is floating along in that regard. Hopefully it doesn't get brought up, because it'll make her sick to her stomach and even more afraid of ghosts, probably.]

It's not a bad thing!! It means you're kind to people when it matters most. That's what I like about you. But if you don't want to be soft...let me keep Ribbons. Something that pink and cute should go to someone equally pink and cute, ne? [So humble.]

[apshot]

I hate sweets.

[ Just throwing that out there. No way would he have wanted something? Nope!]

And I ain't giving shit up.

[floatsaway]

Liar, you eat ice cream all the time, and I've seen you eat other sweets before, too. You just don't like them as much as I do. [Stop being a tsundere, Bakugou, jeez. :\] Boo...fine. Maybe something that cute and sweet around you will make you nicer, too.

Anyway, I don't know where you guys are at, but I'll take an egg if you're giving them away. But you'll have to come to me to deliver it, if that's not too much of a problem. I don't know how else to get to you guys unless I pay a bunch of money to travel... [Money she doesn't really have.]

[apshot]

Not overly sweet ice cream and you know that. Don't be stupid.

[ He doesn't shovel his face with sweets. That's just not how he rolls. ]

You don't have to pay anything, Round Face. Getting rid of it is doing us a favor.

[floatsaway]

[Just going to stick out her tongue at that first comment and make a fart noise at you, Bakugou. You know, like a totally mature sixteen year old Hero in training.

Anyway, moving on.]

Well, I mean, if you're okay with meeting up with me to get rid of it... Hold on, let me check my location real quick. I'm in, mmh...just outside of Violet City. There's a cave there I didn't go into, but I can meet you at the mouth of it - or close enough to it. [That'd be the easiest landmark to spot from the air, after all, if he decides to fly.] Where are you guys, anyway? I know you're far away, but I'm curious how far...

[apshot]

Meeting you wouldn't take too long. After you've been in one location, there's teleport pads that open up in the Centers. They'll let you move quickly between adjacent ones.

[ And since he's been to all the cities around Violet, it's a non issue. ]

[floatsaway]

Yeah, I know about those. Deku-kun used them to meet me by Cherrygrove one time. Um...try not to get too sick or anything, Bakugou-kun.

[Since Ochako's never used the warp pads yet herself, but each time Izuku has, he's looked about ready to toss his cookies. Ochako just might go ahead and buy some Fresh Water at a vending machine outside the center for her friend, just in case.]

I'll meet you at the Center, okay?

[apshot]

Why would I get sick? Do I really look like someone with a pitiful stomach to you?

[ Deku is just a fucking wuss. That's all there is to it. ]

I'll be there within an hour.

Video > Action

[floatsaway]

Well...maybe not. Considering all the spicy food you put in your mouth, you'd have to have an iron stomach, I guess. Honestly, I'm surprised you're not on the toilet half the time, Bakugou-kun.

[Is she being honest or just fucking with him? It is a mystery.]

Okay, see you then!!

[And yes, Ochako's going to turn the Gear off before he has a chance to blow up at her. An hour actually give her enough time to make it back get him something as a 'thank you' for coming all the way to meet her and giving her a Pokemon egg all for herself. It's not much, but a package of three spicy tuna onigiri she got at a conbani (conbuneary??) should do perfectly!! Some fucking weirdass was trying to tell her they were jelly donuts, but Ochako just smiled, nodded her head, and left as fast as possible.

Anyway, she'll meet him in the Center soon, brushing the fur of her Pachirisu, who's happily curled in her lap.]

[apshot]

[ UM EXCUSE YOU? TOILET TALK IS SUPER BAD MANNERS YOUNG LADY! Though she's right to have cut him off. Because he would have just raged at her.

But between the conversation ending and the time it takes for Bakugou to gather up the egg and get to the first Center, he calms down. Somewhat. It takes no time at all to show up at their destined meeting location.

And it doesn't take long to find her either. ]

Oi, Round Face...

[floatsaway]

[Bold of you to assume that Ochako can't be rude sometimes in her extremely blunt honesty. This is the girl who called Deku ugly to his face once, after all.

But either way, it's in the past and the future is now!! Ochako looks up when she hears the familiar nickname, her little Pachirisu chittering and hopping up to drape around Ochako's neck like a soft, plush scarf.]

Hi, Bakugou-kun!! I hope the trip wasn't too much of a bother. Oh! I also got you something for coming - here! [And she will present the package of three little rice balls and a little juice box of iced green tea.] Almond-chan tried to chew on the box, but I caught her quickly, it should be fine, and nothing was popped, or leaking, or anything.

[Almond, the Pachirisu, swishes her tail and chitters at Bakugou, climbing down Ochako's arm to say hello.]

[apshot]

Almond-chan...

[ Isn't Ochako kind of like an almond? About shaped like one. Sorta. But then his eyes drift towards the Pachirisu. Must be that thing.

Whatever. He's immediately handing over the egg. ]

I don't need anything for the egg.

[machismost]

Bugs and bats!

[ Kirishima bites his lower lip and looks sidelong at Bakugou, obviously doing his best and failing pretty badly at trying not to laugh. ]

Though um-- [ A poorly concealed chuckle trying to be a clearing of his throat. ] If you do take the Snom egg you're gonna have to feed it a lot of ice or ice cream, okay? It's starting to get hot outside.

[ Although it does seem to be snowing through the bright spring sunshine in the sliver of window the camera picks up; that's the talent of a grown, amorous Frosmoth ejected from the house for you. ]

[floatsaway]

[Bugs and bats...oh! Like that screeching hellion that Kirishima was riding when she first arrived here. It's not like Ochako wouldn't adore and properly take care of anything a friend gave her, but...well, she's not quite sure how much she wants to deal with a big thing like that. Plus, Ochako already said she'd take the bug.]

Snom? Is that what that pretty moth thing was? [Though, don't moths com from like...caterpillars or something? Is this egg going to hatch into a caterpillar? It'd make sense.] Eeh, wait--um. Don't bugs not like the cold?

[Ochako...may not be as well versed in types as most. She read the guide, k-kind of, but there was a lot of information to cover and she's only maybe average intelligence, let's be honest. It's gonna take more than two weeks for her to memorize everything, let alone put it into practice.]

[machismost]

[ No one can blame Ochako for being turned off of Noiverns by Jack; she is a handful and barely listens to even Kirishima. ]

Snom's an Ice bug Pokemon. Sounds kinda weird, but it's true.

[ Kirishima rubs his nape and points back over his shoulder towards the window. ]

And it'll evolve into Frosmoth if you give it enough time and attention. When I got the dad of these eggs- [ His cheeks might be tinting a little. ] he was pretty much inhaling snow in the park. If you wanna put it another way, Bakugou and I got this house for the winter and we never had to shovel any snow!

[floatsaway]

[Ice...bug. Huh. Ochako blinks, slowly, and tilts her head a little to try and look past her friend's shoulder to the outside window where his Pokemon was banished to. This place is weird, truly, but the frosty moth is really, really pretty... Ochako wagers it'd be okay to have one, even if she's not a huge fan of bugs.

...Wait, what. There is so much to unpack there, hold up.]

UEEH?! IT EATS THAT MUCH?! [Holy shit, how is she going to feed this child when it hatches... Hopefully the trainers along the routes will rebattle her a few times and she can steal their money earn some cash that way. But also--] AND YOU TWO HAVE A HOUSE?!
