...geez, where did I put my pot of gold? I must've been really sleepy after the festival...

[Have a Clover rummaging through the stuff she's piled up on her desk, searching for one of the props she used yesterday as part of her leprechaun costume. Books, shopping bags, and her own pack are strewn all over the surface, and she's cleaning them up -

[ ...Please ignore the random bits of tin foil still taped to his shirt. Somebody apparently fell asleep in his cheap costume and is still a little out of it. ]

Free egg? Well, I can't exactly turn down that offer, can I?

[ video | filtered ] SO FASHIONABLE, JUNPEI.

[4leafcleaver]

[...wow, Junpei, cheap costume indeed.]

Does that mean one of our Eevees is gonna have a new home?

[ video | filtered ] I KNOW. WHO ELSE COULD BRING LUMBERJACK SHIRTS BACK IN STYLE?

[hewhosurvives]

[ In his defense, the tin foil used to be a complete sheet. and normal costumes are too mainstream, anyway- ]

If you're sure you're willing to part with it, then yeah. I haven't had a new Pokémon for a while, so it'll be good to change things up a bit.

How many did you wind up with, anyway?

[ video | filtered ] HE IS DRESSED FOR THE WINTER. And for the freezer.

[4leafcleaver]

[Don't think you've escaped just yet, she is going to talk to you about the tin foil LATER.]

Five. I'm keeping one, of course.

[ video | filtered ] SEE, EXCESSIVE LAYERING IS TOTALLY PRACTICAL. he is a forward-thinker.

[hewhosurvives]

[ Oh look sorry he has to go do...something, yep. ]

Five? That's a lot of eggs. Maybe you should pay better attention to your Pokémon.

[ ...teasing! teasing! ]

[ video | filtered ] Good thing Clover never went into that freezer.

[4leafcleaver]

[YOU ARE NOT GETTING AWAY THAT EASILY.

And yes, she knows he's teasing. She fails to stifle some giggles while trying to sound stern.]

Hey! I do pay attention! I just...got really, really sleepy after Halloween, that's all...

[ video | filtered ] At least she has a jacket?

[hewhosurvives]

[ WHAT IF IT'S THE GIRLFRIEND CALLING? YOU WOULDN'T JEOPARDIZE HIS RELATIONSHIP, WOULD YOU? ]

Uh-huh. Are you sure you didn't lose any of your other ones while you were out of it?

[ video | filtered ] But...really short skirt...

[4leafcleaver]

[PROVE THAT IT REALLY WAS THE GIRLFRIEND. THEN WE'LL TALK.]

I did not!

[ video | filtered ] Santa survived with a flimsy tank top?

[hewhosurvives]

[ ...GIVE ME A SEC; I'LL GET HER TO CONFIRM MY ALIBI. ]

Don't yell at me. I'm not the irresponsible one here.

[ video | filtered ] True, at least he was wearing pants with that.

[4leafcleaver]

[YOU BETTER.]

I wasn't being irresponsible! It's not like this happens everyday, y'know!

[ video | filtered ] But see, it evens out. Each would have half their body freezing.

[hewhosurvives]

[ ONE MOMENT, PLEASE HOLD. *elevator music* ]

Oh, really? Well, what about most holidays?

[ video | filtered ] They probably also rigged the freezer so it wouldn't get too cold?

[4leafcleaver]

[BRB JAMMING TO THE ELEVATOR MUSIC.]

...I've only been around here for a few holidays, Junpei.

[ video | filtered ] That would make sense. Otherwise, bad planning on their part.

[hewhosurvives]

[ /sneaks away quietly.... ]

Oh. Right, I forgot, you haven't been here as long.

Doesn't mean that your holiday partying might not get out of hand, though.

[ video | filtered ] I know, right? PLAN ALL THE THINGS.

[4leafcleaver]

[OI OI DOES SHE KNOW ABOUT YOUR COSTUME.]

Oh no, it won't! For one thing, I never had a single drop of alcohol!

[ video | filtered ] SEE, IT PAYS TO BE A PERFECTIONIST.

[hewhosurvives]

[ ... /running now ]

I hope not. You're not even legally allowed to drink yet, are you?

[ video | filtered ] THEY PROBABLY HAD GOOD GRADES IN SCHOOL AND STUFF TOO.

[4leafcleaver]

I'm eighteen! I...think I'm already allowed? Maybe in some countries?
