Five-hundred-and-one million, six-hundred-twenty-two thousand, seven-hundred-thirty-one...

[When the video feed flickers on, you get a nice view of the starry night sky stretching endlessly above. His voice filters through whimsically like something distant and far away.]There's Andromeda to the north, Libra... Vulpecula, and maybe Orion's to the

[ Niou's chillin' on a bench in the plaza at Goldenrod, his lap occupied by a peculiarly-coloured egg. A flame burns nearby, but offscreen. ]

I've got nothin' but happy dreams. Now, onto more important matters.

Are you a zombie?

Honesty's the only crime I ever commit. [ He still sounds dismissive, airy, but the bite has gone out of his voice. That's okay; there was never really any there to begin with. ]

Send me a surprise.

[reimprovise]

That's the Niou I know. Virtuous to a fault. [Ah, that's better.] Didn't you know? The only gifts worth giving are the unexpected ones.

[And he already knows what he's sending over. :|a Expect a Flygon dropping off a pokeball early tomorrow morning. Larissa the Skitty will love you. <3]

[ Niou seems pleased at the prospect, now, though he's fussing with the egg in his arms, so as not to appear too attentive. ]

I'll be waiting~ ♫

[Truth to be told, he doesn't know Niou well enough to pick up all his nuances. He just leans back and laughs, a little, trying to dispel the unease.]

In the meantime, why don't we have Niou share his egg with the class? Inquiring minds want to know.

[Skitty stats are here <3 ... and he'll be wanting her back eventually. :|a]

[ He holds up the egg with a thoughtful look. ] It's pretty heavy, actually. Looks like it oughta be a Poison-type, though.

No clue what it actually is.

video;

[reimprovise]

Hm. Could be. Are you hoping it'll be anything in particular?

video;

[futariniousama]

Poison wouldn't suck. Ghost or Dark, either. Seems like a lotta Ghost and Dark types are really fuckin' weird.

video;

[reimprovise]

That's a compliment, coming from you. Thinking of creating your very own Niou's Believe it or Not, Pokemon edition?

video;

[futariniousama]

Got a good head start on it, don't I? [ He beckons offscreen, and Gidget comes floating over in the form of a fan. Niou sticks his finger into the blades, wringing a screeching noise from the Pokémon. ]

[reimprovise]

[Ah, what a fun little thing.]

Hm, maybe I should say 'no', just to be contrary.

Has Gidget ever tried taking over a ball machine?

video;

[futariniousama]

Don't think so, but he once took over the Pokémon healing machine at Goldenrod's Pokécenter. [ He grins. ] Kept making the little sound backward, just to fuck with the nurses.

[reimprovise]

[chuckle. oh niou. he doesn't know who's more precious, you or your pokemon] And no love was lost, really. I don't think I've ever liked that four-tone song.

Do you ever run out of fun ideas for this sort of thing?

video;

[futariniousama]

I actually work better with a partner. [ Niou finally surrenders Gidget and lets the poor thing zoom away, making very impressive zooming noises. ] Makes the ideas come easier.

video;

[reimprovise]

I think you're fairly well-set in that department. [... he needs one of those.] Or is six creatively put together video-game counterparts not enough?

[futariniousama]

[ Gidget and Sugar are pretty ~*~friendly~*~. Ask and ye shall receive. ]

Nah, they're good - if I'm bein' honest, a lot of my better tricks have been their ideas. But they are limited by what they know. And Sugar doesn't make a very good me.

[ He turns the camera away from himself, then, to the Ditto that is spread thin on the ground beneath the feet of a Charizard, like some kind of slimy rug. Right on cue, it blobs out from under the other Pokémon and reshapes itself, swiftly, into Niou.

A perfect replica, excepting the lilac-tinted skin, hair and clothes. Ditto!Niou grins a shark grin. ]
