21st roar [ video ]

[ The feed opens to a triumphant Lucario face. Behind Strike is the blue Olivine sky, framing Lucky and Skarmory's bulky frames as three of the girls of Leon's team relax on the sand. ]

I am with eggs.

[ Skarmory blinks, surprised, while Lucky rolls over onto her back and thumps her tail happily, raising clouds of dust. ]

Congratulations.

[Well, this is interesting. Interesting enough that Flare's gonna swoop down and watch the other beasties. The rest of Riku's team is following close behind. Ace the Lucario as well as Blade the Scizor are the first to appear, but the others can't be too far behind.]

What's all this about?

[ Strike (who I don't have an icon for, go me) turns her head up to give Flare her attention. ]

Skarmory says we should keep our eggs.

[islandshore]

[...snort. Seriously?]

Why? It's not like our trainers could care for that many of 'em. Wouldn't they be better off in someone else's hands?

[usedroar]

[ Skarmory's turn to gnash her beak. ]

You don't understand either! Why can't we take care of them? They're ours!

[So Heather's Totodile and Quagsire both have a habit of wandering off with the 'Gear, and sometimes they leave it lying wherever. Which is where Cujo the Growlithe finds it.]

[So congratulations. You now have what appears to be a giant wet black nose invading this conversation with inane personal anecdotes. Because to a simple-minded Growlithe, the first thing that the word 'eggs' brings to min is the yellow mushy stuff he gets to eat on occasion.]

Sometimes when Trainer gets eggs for breakfast and doesn't want all of them, she puts the plate on the ground for me so that I can eat them instead!

[... And then he waits.]

[Oh, right.]

Hello!

[He always forgets that part.]

[Video]

[usedroar]

[ Skarmory and Strike exchange looks like '.....' but Lucky totally understands. ]

You like eggs? So do I! Sometimes Boss puts it in my kibble because he's nice!

Hello!

[ WAG WAG WAG ]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

[Oh god. Cujo has found a kindred spirit. Look out, world.]

[The Growlithe's muzzle drops open in a great big happy doggy-grin, tongue lolling out. It's a bigger version of himself and she likes eggs too!]

Yes I do eggs they are the best!!

[Conversing with Cujo unfortunately meant having to deal with a certain lack of punctuation one he got excited-- which was more or less 100% of the time.]

Sometimes she even puts cheese in them!!

[Video]

[usedroar]

[ Awwwww yeah, hello there little version. ]

Cheese?

[ HOLD THE FUCKING PRESSES CHEESE ]

I wish I had cheese. [ :C ]

Sometimes, I get sausage.

[So, Lightning's off somewhere, probably at work or something, and that leaves Sen to wander the beach right up until he finds the ladies chilling. What's a derp to do when he sees his mate chilling on the sand?

Run and glomp her, of course. He hasn't quite heard about the eggs just yet, though, so he's his normal derpy self. Enjoy, girls. He's going nowhere fast.]

[ Strike is happy to have Sen hugs! With some gentle amusement, she pats his head, nuzzling into his neck as they tumble.

Lucky wags her tail. Skarmory makes a low, screechy noise. ]

[Action]

[soggypastry]

[So many tumbles and nuzzles for Strike, that's for sure. He's incredibly happy, even as the noise Skarmory makes registers and he looks up at her, tilting his head in confusion.]

What?

[usedroar]

[ Skarmory snaps her beak at them. ]

You're sickening. My beak will rot.

[ Eyeroll from Strike. Translation: ignore her, my cuddles are nicer. ]

[usedroar]

[ Bolt, you're so cute. ]

I'm going to have eggs, yes.

[video] <3

[usedroar]

I don't know yet; with eggs, there's no telling. My kind doesn't usually have big clutches, though.

[This is how it works on Cooper's end these days - if he catches sight of a pokémon broadcast, he'll put his gear down where it's easy for his team to reach it and let them have at it. So the feed goes like this - human looking vaguely amused, bedsheets, and a Vulpix hopping up onto them to look into the gear, curious and interested.]

You think family is only in blood, steel bird?

[video]

[usedroar]

[ Coop is such a good team dad.

At Aidan's question, Skarmory frowns and clucks. ]

Not only blood, that would be silly. But I don't think it's fair they don't let us raise our own if we want to.

[video]

[blacklodged]

[Aidan considers this and then tilts his head slightly.]

Did you let them know that you wanted to? Made sure they understood? Humans aren't so bad, but sometimes they don't really get it.

[video]

[usedroar]

Oh, as far as trainers go, Boss was very good. At the time I had my first clutch, I was inexperienced, and he didn't sell them because I asked-- [ translation: SCREAMED LOUDLY ] --and he let me help him pick candidates for the eggs.

But now many of those trainers are gone, and my so is my mate and...I wish I could have kept them by my side.

[ Sad bird is sad. ]
