second video;

[notvaljean]

[The video feed opens with the image of two similar Pokemon eggs —Litton ones, for those familiar with them— nestled together on a bed. A blanket has been haphazardly draped around them, creating the sort of shoddy nest a teenaged boy would make. The round top of an Electrode is just barely visible on the bottom edge of the screen.

Jean doesn’t poke his own head onto the vid, but his voice can be heard. Really, at this point, more people on the network recognize Blitz than him.]

Someone gave us these eggs. [He doesn't specify if it was a man or woman who gifted them the eggs because... he's not entirely sure. Is Blanche a woman or a man? He just doesn't know.] Do we need to do anything special with them?

[He's not going to sit on them to keep them warm, that's for sure. Jean's ass is narrow and bony and would break their shells.]

And what's inside them? Are we going to get birds?

[As Jean speaks, a small round Rowlet lands on the bed, hopping closer to the two eggs. She seems to be giving them a very sullen stink-eye, before she flutters up, readying her feathery vengeance on the intruders. Armin hurries into the background, scooping her out of the air in a rush, knocking into Blitz the douchy Electrode in the process. A zap, an oww, and a soft, exasperated sigh from Jean later and the feed goes black.]

[ooc: responses will be coming from both Jean and Armin.]

Comments

[notvaljean]

Because he is!

[#missingthepoint]

[schachmeister]

You two really aren't that dissimilar, you know?

[Dangerous ground, but damnit, they are both the same sort of squinty-faced bastards that Armin has come to care about.]

[notvaljean]

WHAT?!

[Those are fighting words, Armin. If Jean could shoot electricity off himself like Blitz does, he'd be doing that right now.]

Next you're going to be telling me I look like him or something!

[schachmeister]

[Somehow, Armin has the feeling Jean's hair is bristling at him. Like an angry cat's.]

You are a little taller.

[notvaljean]

[It is. It totally is!]

Yeah, and a million times more handsome!

[schachmeister]

I think you need to ask an actual girl to judge that.

[Too bad they don't have one. Well, except Mikasa, but that just isn't fair.]

[notvaljean]

Let's go find one and ask her!

[And Mikasa doesn't count!]

[schachmeister]

Do you even know any girls here?

[Yeah, Mikasa doen't count.]

[notvaljean]

Yes.

[No... wait! Wait, yes he does! Jean knows a girl!]

We can ask Theda.

[schachmeister]

Who is Theda?

[Jean, are you making friends with girls? You've really changed.]

[notvaljean]

A girl I know.

[Girl, squid, whatever, she's female and that's what counts in this discussion.]

[schachmeister]

I got that much.

[notvaljean]

We could also ask Heather.

[See?! Another girl! Jean is practically swimming in lady friends!]

[schachmeister]

Would it really be fair to ask someone who knows you and not Eren though? They might be biased in your favour.

[notvaljean]

So find someone who doesn't know either one of us!

[And stop being so damn difficult!]

[schachmeister]

... is this really so important?

[Why is Armin getting roped into going along with this stupid dick measuring contest. Eren isn't even here.]

[notvaljean]

You're the one who brought it up.

[And if Armin really has been Eren's best friend for a million years, he should know exactly why it's so important. BECAUSE IT IS!]

[schachmeister]

[It totally absolutely is not.]

Only because you claimed to be a million times more handsome.

[notvaljean]

Because I am!

[And they're back to where they started.]

[schachmeister]

[Armin refuses to be dragged down this nonsense again.

He casts around for another topic, any topic, instead and his eyes fall on the eggs.]

When do you think they'll hatch?

[notvaljean]

... good question.

[Even Jean realizes the circular nature of this argument, and he grudgingly lets it go. Not because he's not certain of his victory in handsomeness over Eren, not at all! Never let that thought cross anyone's mind!]

Some people are saying it depends on how long we walk with them, but no one has said a specific distance.

[schachmeister]

[Guess who is absolutely going to keep track of exactly how many kilometers it takes until these eggs hatch? This guy.]

Well, once we've challenged the gym master here, we can start heading towards Goldenrod. That's a good distance away. The eggs might hatch while we are travelling there.

[notvaljean]

[Somehow, Jean has already figured that's what Armin is going to do. He's secretly find it pretty amusing if one egg hatches before the other one, just to watch Armin drive himself crazy trying to figure out why.]

That sounds good. And then we can train them against each other, since all our other guys will be too powerful for them.

[Whatever they are.]

[schachmeister]

[You are a mean one, Mr Kirschtein.]

Are you hoping for anything in particular?

[notvaljean]

A fire Pokemon would be nice. I don't have one of those yet.
