[Min-Gi is trying to film a message, but interesting things are going on in the background. Ryan is busy keeping an entire entourage of baby Pokémon entertained, with the help of his recently evolved All Dressed. Earlier this year he took to the network cooing about how cute she was, but now she's evolved into an Espathra - a large neon psychic ostrich. She's leaning in curiously with a head tilt, interested in Ryan's shenanigans. He's sitting criss-cross on the floor with four baby Flittles, all little agile things that float from one hand to the other, making it look like he's very slowly juggling them. Occasionally one will get over eager and Mama All Dressed will lean her head in, like she's gently tapping a balloon so it won't hit the ground. There's a Noibat as well who decided it wanted to be a part of things, so it's decided to just climb on top of Ryan's head and watch. Maybe occasionally flap a wing at one of the babies to see if it blows around like a dandelion.

Ryan can't come to the camera, but he seems fine with this arrangement.]

So... It looks like All Dressed and Echoes had babies. Which is great. We're so happy for them.

[He clearly does not think this is great. Min sounds more like he's reading a script while being held at gunpoint than announcing the birth of six adorable babies, but look. He's doing his best here. He pulls the camera over from where he'd been letting it focus on the background back over to him. He has a sleepy Noibat tucked up to his chest.]

Please take them. If you want them. No one has to, but they're all really great Pokémon who'd do a great job for your team.

We have four Flittles and two Noibats. I, uh... checked their moves. If you want to know them. I'm pretty sure you can't get Flittle in the wild at all though so this might be your best chance if you like them.

[Ryan yells from the background, trying to compensate for how far he is from the camera - "Tell everyone their names!"]

Dude. No one can hear you. [Min knows full well the camera can pick up Ryan. He just doesn't want to share them. He shakes his head, soothing the Noibat who's starting to stir.] Besides, they're just temporary.

[ooc: Movesets can be found in this post! Feel free to claim them here, in the OOC post, or both if you want to.]

Oh dang, look at all those little fiends. [She is not trying very hard at all to keep her amusement at Min's tone hidden. Plus, she also recognizes Ryan from that one weird weekend, which has her smiling as well.] The first pokemon I had was a Noibat, but those others... They're kind of birds, huh?

[She hesitates a moment, but no, she's not going to deny herself the fun:] Okay, I gotta ask, what are the names?

[video]

[outofsynth]

That's one word for them.

[Uncalled for, Min. All the babies have been very well behaved and do not deserve this slander.]

They're like baby ostriches. That's their mom in the background with them. She can't fly, but she's very fast.

[So fast. So very, very fast. He does not want to think about having five fully fledged Espathra's around if they can't find homes for these babies.

As for the names... Min sighs, glancing over his shoulder to give Ryan a look before the turns back to recite them for Eda.]

The Noibats are Pink and Floyd. The Flittle are BBQ, Ketchup, Sour Cream, and Salt & Vinegar. You don't have to keep the names if you take one though.

[mamalike]

Oh, but why would you? I think those names are fun!

...But they're flightless, huh?

[That sounds as if it would probably be a pretty ideal way for her to continue indulging her fondness for birds without further drowning in flying types...]

So what are you asking for, for one of these rascals? Or are you really just giving them away?

[chickenchoicejudy]

[Yelled distantly from the background of Min's video feed:]

SEE? PEOPLE LIKE THE NAMES!

[mamalike]

[Eda laughs and is just going to shout back in response. Oops, sorry Min.]

They're great! Don't let him stifle your creativity!

[outofsynth]

I don't stifle it. I refine it.

[Which might sound mean, but there's a clear edge of teasing in his voice beneath the smugness.

Unfortunately they are just like this.]

[outofsynth]

Flightless, but they're big enough you can ride them if you want to.

[Which Ryan does. For some reason. It's possible, but far from the steady ride Min's Gogoat can offer.]

We're giving them away. We don't have the space for six babies as well as our own Pokémon.

[Boxes exist, but shhh. Don't poke holes in his logic here.]

[mamalike]

Well, that's fun. Heck, I'll take one of them, if you're looking to offload.

[outofsynth]

You even get first pick.

[Min fumbles with the camera for a moment, stepping out of frame and turning it around so it's focused on the babies previously in the background. Please take one, Eda.]

[mamalike]

[Eda smiles as she leans closer to the screen.]

Let's see... Which one of those little guys is Ketchup?

[outofsynth]

[There's a pause, presumably as Min works out which Flittle is which. After a moment he zooms in, focusing on one that seems to be taking the game a bit more seriously than its siblings. It's doing its best to stay poised and properly in formation, a look of concentration on its face.]

That's Ketchup. What do you think?
