◇ video! 🍎 this is applinCREDIBLE information! ◇

[fatefulprince]

[ _{before prom, Corrin had caught himself an Applin in the wild and had ... this sort of reaction to the experience.} ]

I've made a discovery!! Er- it's something everyone probably knows already, but ... I need to tell someone about this before I explode!

[ _{why is he so excited?? well. Corrin picks up his Applin and holds him to his face.} ]

Look at this apple! It's a Pokémon! I found him in the wild the other week. I was like, "what's an apple doing in the grass?" then I realised, it had eyes! and was moving! When I caught it, the Pokédex told me it was ... Dragon type!? Which is crazy! Like - it's an apple! How can it be a dragon!? This has been bugging me for weeks. I'm a dragon myself, and as far as I know, I'm not made of apples or any other kind of fruit. Same for my ancestors, I'd assume. Even my Altaria - a giant bird is part dragon! It really hurts my head when I think about it. What's with all these dragons that aren't actually dragons!?

[ _{Corrin places the Applin on the ground, which blinks at him.} ]

BUT THEN! Something AMAZING happened! Okay, okay! Come on out, little guy...!

[ _{Corrin squeals when the tiny, wriggly little green dragon emerges from the apple!} ]

Look at him! He's a little dragoooooooooooon! He was hiding in the apple the whole tiiiiiiiiime!

[ _{he scoops the little green dragon against his face, who bleps. no thoughts, head empty. just like his trainer.} ]

There's a teeny tiny dragon hiding inside the teeny tiny apple!! Applin really is a dragon! If I'm the reason you've learnt this today, I hope you're as excited about this as I was when I first discovered this! [ _{definitely a reach, but.} ]

Um ... heh. So that's my incredibly exciting discovery! I figure I'll just add onto this video to mention I have some eggs for sale! I have three Ponyta eggs, two Trapinch eggs and two Eevee eggs. If you're interested, please let me know! [ _{the Applin in Corrin's hand licks his cheek.} ] _{Heehee! Stop it, Fuji! That tickles!}

[ Sweet merciful Sothis. ]






Cute.

[fatefulprince]

I know, right!? [ _{he holds leetol gween dwagon up to the camera!!!} ]

Look at him!!!! He's sooooooooooo cuuuuuuute!

[epitaffio]

[He gasps in clear awe. Looks like Corrin isn't the only one who's excited.]

That's incredible! I've seen Applin in the wild before, but I had no idea that's what it really looked like inside its shell...!

[... Wait hold up that was the Priority Comment but something else stood out to him--]

Uh, did you say you're a dragon?

[fatefulprince]

--Uh, yeah! I am. I can't transform here, though! So you'll have to take my word for it.

[nellacerniera]

[Oh, wow, this is fascinating. Bucciarati stares very intently at the screen as the tiny green dragon emerges.

... That's actually really cute.]

Does it get nourishment from the apple, then? [He would assume so, at least...

Ah, but also--]

... How much would one of those eggs be?

[fatefulprince]

Yep! That's exactly it! Apparently it needs a different type of apple to evolve, but, I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.

Oh! Uh - depends on the egg! The cost varies, because of rarity and the likes. Which were you interested in?

[nellacerniera]

I'll have to admit, I'm curious about the result when you do evolve your friend there.

[He tilts his head in consideration.]

I think I'm most interested in the Ponyta or Eevee.

[captainash]

You haven't met the slug dragons yet, have you.

[Ash is 99% certain this is not the face of a man who is aware of the existence of slug dragons.]

Or the coconut tree dragons. That one's particularly un-dragonlike, too.

[perfectteatime]

I meant you, but he's also cute.

[fatefulprince]

[fatefulprince]

[ _{is he using his Applin to hide his face? he's using his Applin to hide his face.} ]

_Eek!

Th-- Thanks!

[epitaffio]

You can transform? I mean-- usually! Not here, of course. I know everybody's been made normal here...

[Magical creatures and stand users alike... Alas.]

[lightningbearer]

"This is a different world. Shouldn't be surprising some things like dragons are different here, too."

Don't mind that the video feed is off-center, and that there's a nice blurry dark patch that's probably part of Geddoe's hand too close to the camera.

[fatefulprince]

Mmhmm. I wish there were a way to show. The only way I've managed to so far is by scribbling a very badly drawn version of my dragon form on paper.

[fatefulprince]

Slug dragons? Coconut tree dragons?! I-I-- I gotta find them! Do you know where they are, or what they're called?

[fatefulprince]

Corrin tilts his head trying to make sense of the visual, but decides ... he'll just ... speak.

"Hm. I suppose you're right. It's just ... alarming! Makes me kind of jealous of the dragons here, I would love to be an apple dragon! I'm just a boring old normal one."

[fatefulprince]

Heh. When I find out, I'll probably be back on the network! I bet the results are fantastic!

[ _{Corrin ponders to recall the prices with accuracy...} ]

Alright! Well, the Ponyta eggs are 1500 P and the Eevee eggs are 5000 P.

whoops I coulda SWORN I had a different icon there, oh well!

[lightningbearer]

It's probably best not to worry too much about the old man's apparent failures with technology. The fact that he can use it at all is plenty right? Right.

"Wouldn't the people here consider apple dragons normal?"

Yes, he heard the bit about being a dragon. No, he doesn't think that's any more unusual than, well, anything else here.

[nellacerniera]

[After he takes a moment to consider the amount of money he has now...]

I think I'm interested in one of the Ponyta eggs, then. [He pauses.] But if you happen to have another clutch of Eevee eggs in the future, when I'm a little more financially secure, I'd probably buy one then.

[He only arrived recently, after all!]

Video

[shiningkindness]

Oh my goodness, how adorable! That must be one of the cutest dragons ever!

[ Not that she's seen...many. In fact, the only one she knows of is only ever a dog when she sees him. But whatever. ]

[fatefulprince]

Oh, hello again, Fluttershy! It's so nice to see you again!

[ _{the little Applin in his hand wiggles his tiny little feets.} ]

I know, right? I can't believe he was hiding inside of an apple this whole time!

[fatefulprince]

"Probably? I'm not used to being from here, though. I wonder what other kinds of dragons there are."

[fatefulprince]

Sounds good! I more than likely will. I'll try and remember to message you. Where abouts are you located? If you're nearby I'd be more than happy to drop the egg off. I'm located in Ecruteak in Johto.

[epitaffio]

How does that work? Does that mean you're a guy who can turn into a dragon...? Or are you a dragon that can turn into something else?

[fatefulprince]

Guy who can turn into a dragon, yeah. I always had dragon blood but it didn't transform me 'til later on in life.

[ _{for a very depressing reason} ]
