usedcharm | [Rinoa Heartilly - 004 Video] So much good news, it's amazing! (Azalea)

[Video]

[The video feeds clicks on to a fairly familiar sight, only instead of eight badges there are only two. Not that it seems to bother the breeder who is cheerfully showing them off. No, Rinoa's face is practically glowing with good cheer. She has badges! Not one but two of them even!]

After how easy the first badge was, I just had to try for the second one too, and it worked! I would have said something after the first badge, but I was hoping if I waited I'd be able to show both of them at the same time.

[She pans the feed over then, showing off four very proud looking pokemon - a Luxray, a Flaaffy, a Growlithe, and her ever present Altaria.]

Knight did so good he even evolved again. I really wasn't expecting that.

[Her Luxray looks pretty damned smug about it, while her growlithe just looks annoyed..... or as annoyed as a pokemon can get while linefacing anyway. Stupid obnoxious pricks getting all the praise. He did good work too! Thankfully Rinoa's really good at reading lineface-ese.]

Don't worry, Griever, we'll go get you a fire stone, I promise.

[Her pokemon mollified, Rinoa moves on to the next important point of business. Eggs.]

Speaking of good news, thanks to Shinn, I've got Swablu eggs. Not to mention some Shinx and Mareep eggs too. I'm not sure what a good price for them is. I'm thinking maybe 1,000 for a Swablu, 800 for a Shinx, and 500 for a Mareep? Of course if you can't afford one and you'd really like one, I'm sure we can work something out.

I know Swablu aren't really common, so I thought I'd explain them a little. Swablu is a blue bird pokemon with clouds for wings. They're a flying and normal type to start, but when they evolve they become a Flying/Dragon type instead. Right, Angel?

[Her starter trills an affirmative, which causes the breeder to smile at her fondly. She really does love her starter to bits... anyway!]

I can't deliver them myself, so I'll have to send them through the PC. Unless someone has the TM for Fly they'd let me borrow so I can teach it to Angel? That'd be a super, big help. I'd trade an egg for one?

[Private to Shin]

Did you get your ditto back okay? I know I promised you a Swablu egg, do you think I should give the center one too?

[ooc: Sign up for the eggs can be found here. There are still a few left, mostly mareep. She'll also be taking requests for swablu eggs in the future if you missed out on one this time.]

[A nod. He was more curious than anything, and now that's definitely a goal to work towards. ...Provided she's sure she wants to sell those eggs, anyway.]

You said 1000, didn't you? Who should I send it to?

[translation: hi, what's your name and where should I send the monies.]

[Yay, a sale!]

My name's Rinoa.

[Give her your monies, working takes up too much time that she could spend training.]

[Of course it's a sale! It's a dragon; there will always be sales regarding dragons.

Also, it takes a couple minutes since he has to get to a PC to do it, but...have his monies. 1000 of them, to be precise.]

The payment should have arrived by now. It says it did.

[Guess who's never done this before! Yeeeep.]

[It's also a super cute bird, that counts too! ...Right?]

[It's going to take her a minute, because she's not entirely sure how this works, but with some timely Joy-assistance she gets it figured out.]

It's here. So where and who should I be sending this egg to?

[She hasn't done this before either, but assumes he has actually. How's that for something?]

[Uh. Well. ...maybe? He's not all that fond of birds or cute things, but...it'll be taken care of? That counts for a lot, right?]

Hitsugaya, in Saffron City, Kanto.

[Both assume the other's done this before...well. This can only end well!]

[As long as it's taken care of, that'll do just fine. Yup!]

Okay. I'll send an egg out shortly, then.

[It's okay, she's already asked one of the Nurse Joy's for help. So sending the egg will be mistake free, luckily for them.]

[Speaking of which, after a few minutes, she comes back.]

There. That should do it.

[Oh good. Things should be fine, then, provided the thing doesn't want to turn his hair into a nest. ...which, knowing his luck, it probably will.

He was already in the Center for the money exchange, so his end of the feed only goes dark for a minute or two before it returns, and yep. He's holding the Swablu egg, which most definitely arrived intact. It's...also a bit bigger than his head. He's tiny!]

It did. The nurse said it arrived just fine, so there shouldn't be anything to worry about.

[Well Angel did love sitting on her head, so odds of that happening are fairly high.]

[Wow, she hadn't realized just how... small he was.]

Good, I'm glad to hear that. Wouldn't want anything bad to happen to it.

[Perfect. Just perfect. Ah, well...hopefully it just stops once it evolves. Swablu is one thing to have nesting in his hair. But an Altaria? Whoo boy.

Yeah, yeah, he's tiny. Half his team dwarfs him by at least a good foot each, too. The Altaria this evolves into, on the other hand, at least won't. Also, that was a nod. He can agree with her on that!]

Even if it had, the nurses are trained to deal with things like this. It would have been in good hands if something happened. [The fact that Pokemon can't die helps, too.]

I guess you have a point. Nurse Joys really seem to know what they're doing. Though I'm still curious why they're all named Joy and they all seem to look alike.

[Seriously this world can be way too weird sometimes.]

For the same reason all the police officers look alike and are all named Jenny, and for the same reason things like dogs and cats hatch from eggs. It's the way this world works.

[Can't most worlds? His world's not really any better! Just...a lot more violent.]

Just because it's the way this world works, doesn't mean it can't still be weird.

[A nod, then:] What's strange for us can be normal for someone else, though. They may find our names as strange as we find the fact they named every nurse Joy.

I don't mind if they find our names strange. I mean, we are strangers to this world.

It'd probably be stranger if they didn't find anything weird about us at all, now that I think about it.

It would be, but we've been appearing in this world for over a year. They'd have had time to adjust by now, I'd think. They barely seem to notice our presence most days.

I guess everyone adjusts to weird things eventually.
