Video (BACKDATED to last weekend-ish)

[dreamsofahero]

*The video opens to a nice view of the interior of Sion and Ryner's house. There's the living room, and the dining room table beyond that, and some of the kitchen counter visible beyond the far corner there. But that's probably not the noteworthy part of the image. In fact, it's probably almost an afterthought, really. Why?

Everything is positively covered in eggs.

There's eggs on the couch, eggs on the armchairs. Eggs on the table and visible on the kitchen counters. Small groups and stacks of eggs on any convenient piece of furniture, and quite a few on the floor. There's even one particularly large pile utterly dominating the middle of the living room.

It's a lot of eggs.

Once everyone's gotten a nice, good view of the terrifying eggocalypse, Sion's voice can be heard from offscreen.*

As is perhaps rather evident, Ryner and I seem to have found ourselves with a few extra eggs about. Should anyone be interested, a list of what's available as best as we can determine is attached.

*There's a pause, then he adds:*

And if you happen to be a fan of Magikarp, then don't hesitate to help yourself to as many as you please.

*... so that's what the giant pile is!*


((In case you missed it, the list of available eggs is here! Also both Sion and Ryner will be replying to this post; please specify if you want to thread with one or the other in particular!))

[Radley can't help but stare and then giggle.]

And I thought waking up to eleven eggs was a lot!

I'd love a chance at a Shiny Eevee. And I'm willing to take a couple of Magikarp for my pond. I wouldn't want one to get lonely. One of the Hydro Pump ones would be cool, and I'll also take one without any moves.

[dreamsofahero]

You sure you don't want anything else?

((Make sure you put in your claims in the OOC post since that's where everything's being tracked!))

[crystalmaster]

Hmm. Yeah, actually I was thinking I might go for one of the Alolan Vulpixes too. I've been wanting to get one of those.

[tearsofademon]

[Ryner is very obviously flopped face-down on the floor next to the Magikarp pile.]

Eleven sounds nice. Eleven sounds manageable.

[crystalmaster]

Yeah, it hasn't been too hard. I still have eight of them. I'm not sure the Skitties will sell at all since people can go to the little old lady in New Bark Town for one. I'll probably need to prepare for the possibility of a Skitty family here.

That's... a lot of eggs. Like, an insane amount. You two going to be alright?

If it's not too much trouble.. could I purchase two Meowth? Meowths? ... I don't know what the plural is.

Re: Filtered away from Kaiba/video;

[dreamsofahero]

While I strongly suspect we may have just set some kind of record, I believe we will manage.

And it's no trouble at all; if there are any other Pokémon you'd like as well, you can certainly have more.

Re: Filtered away from Kaiba/video;

[thetombkeeper]

That's good at least.

Ah... you one what, throw 2 Magikarp in there for good measure. I've already got more than a full team so I'm trying not to get too many while I'm still learning the ropes here, you know? I very much appreciate it though!

How have the two of you been? It's been a while since we last spoke.

Re: Filtered away from Kaiba/video;

[tearsofademon]

[Sion seems to have the actual eggs part of this handled for the moment, which is good, because Ryner is face-down on the floor next to the Magikarp pile.]

We'll figure something out. We've got them all sorted now, at least.

Re: Filtered away from Kaiba/video;

[thetombkeeper]

[Marik chuckles at the sight. That can't be comfortable.].

At least you're making some pretty good money from all of these!

How can you tell the eggs apart?

[The only thing coming from this message is the mildly desperate laughter of a man who has to laugh, or else he'll cry.

...Actually he might be doing both at once.]

Re: [audio]

[dreamsofahero]

*at least he can feel not alone in this kind of chaos?*

Ah, I presume you'd like an egg or two, yourself?

[audio]

[paladinlost]

I would be delighted to help lighten your load, truly.

[The laughter has mostly died down, but the video's still off. His makeup is too much of a mess to show his face.]

But as it happens, you do not offer the few species that have recently caught my attention. I could hardly ask you for a sales pitch that would include every option.

[audio]

[tearsofademon]

I'll be sure to pass your sentiments on to Rose.

[He doesn't sound bitter at you, but he does sound unamused at his Clefairy. ...And the rest of his and Sion's menageries.]

[audio]

[paladinlost]

So this is the power of two extensive teams, boosted by a breeder...

[There is something both awed and horrified in his voice.]

They could have at least warned you first.

[ That's...a lot of eggs. But one in particular catches his eye. ]

I'd like to purchase a Goomy. I'm a new trainer and I don't have access to Fly or most of the teleport pads yet, but I have a Rapidash and we can race over as soon as possible.

My traveling companion's been coveting my Goodra, so I think he should have one of his own.

Re: video, filtered from Marik

[dreamsofahero]

Oh, you needn't worry about that, we can easily have any eggs sent to you.

Are there any others you'd like, or just that one?

*they'd probably cut a newbie a deal... and the magikarp eggs are all free, after all*

[blue_ice]

...Mmm...I am fond of dragons. I've just started work, but I think I can scrape up enough for a second egg. Is there a Swablu available?

Re: video, filtered from Marik

[tearsofademon]

[Sion seems to have the egg part of this handled, which is good, because Ryner is currently face-down on the floor next to the Magikarp pile.]

We've got delivery handled, at least. Between Gail and Lori, and maybe some of the other birds, they'll like the exercise.

[blue_ice]

They can fly the mail back and forth on their own? Mm, good to know.

I'll wire that over.

[wolfspedigree]

That's more than a gross of eggs... You don't even need that many!

Re: text

[dreamsofahero]

Two gross and one, to be precise.

And no, we do not, which is why we hope to sell as many as possible.

Re: text

[tearsofademon]

Tell that to Rose, and the rest of them.

[Action for Sion]

[tearsofademon]

[Now that all the eggs have been sorted, Ryner has (surprisingly careful not to bump into any eggs on the way down) collapsed to the ground next to the Magikarp pile, face-down on the floor.]

That's it, I'm done for now. Wake me up in a week.

[dreamsofahero]

And leave me to handle all the rest by myself?
