Eggterparty

[hyruglyphics]

[ So like, that was all something, right? A confrontation with the souls of the damned, and then a battle with a former gym leader, and finally, a meeting with a god. Even as they plan to leave, the sky is dark with storm clouds. The day seems to conspire to create barriers for the group. But even so, to many it may seem as if the evening is a hopeful one.

One of the lake guardians has been restored and the group has completed - after a month - the initial task that Cynthia gave them. They found one of the gym leaders, and learned there were those who fought for this world (even if they did lose) and still can be broken free from the control. All in all, it's mixed, but the mood isn't necessarily unpleasant, despite the rolls of thunder overhead.

However, said rain and thunder does mean it ends up seeming more sound to camp here in the cave. It's not necessarily comfortable, but there are those those who can pitch a tent or two and others who can make fires. Some people might have food provisions, or are able to make more for the group with their existing supplies or forage.

Though that said, the most remarkable thing of the night is obviously going to be that strange pulse of ... something which comes over everyone. And then, of course, the sounds of these eggs hatching . . . ]

That's what I'm thinking. Not sure how much good it'll do, since I'm sure at least a few people here would object to watching Saturn get stabbed.

[oh my god yuri don't say things like that]

[fatalstrikes]

Seems like we got a lot of things that shouldn't come out of eggs...

[This world is so weird...]

I've got no idea. I haven't tried it yet, but I'll be sure to test it out at some point. You got any problems with that, buddy?

[The sword turns his attention to Yuri and just. Stares.]

...Yeah, that's about what I expected.

[fatalstrikes]

Yeah, maybe not. I am kind of curious, though...

[yuri no]

...Wait, when it hatched it was covered in mud? That's... Okay. You know what, I'm just not going to question it.

[divinedescendant]

Oh, my—Kiryu?

[it's been a hell of a fuck of a day that Emmeryn was toTALLY HERE FOR, SHAKES THE HIATUS DUST OFF MYSELF, but nothing could ever put down her usual sunshiney serenity—more so now that they have something to celebrate. Duma pads along behind her while Emmeryn carries a different weird blue monster in her arms. Apparently the "looks poisonous" memo hasn't hit her because she's got the thing cradled close to her, where she would absolutely be in prime poison stabbing range if the thing had any inclinations towards anything at all.]

Would you look at this! I think they may just be the same creature.

[anythingforyou]

[...Yuri, this is why she likes you.]

Come now, all you have to do is make it look accidental and they won't be too hung up. If you ever need a witness to attest to that fact, I'll be glad to assist you.

[Camilla, why are you like this]

[fatalstrikes]

Hah, good to see you'd have my back.

[Don't worry he won't actually stab Saturn. He'll consider, but he won't do it.]

So what hatched from your egg?

[anythingforyou]

Well, some have seen it fit to leave, but...

[...Yeah, no, she doesn't want to think about that.]

...There's safety in numbers. As it stands, it truly is for the best. I would hate to see more people disappear.

[anythingforyou]

[...he's better than some, in that regard.]

Tell me, are you familiar with the concept of 'dinosaurs'? Mine seems to have hatched into a rather darling, tiny version of one. I could bring her over, if you would like.

[it's gonna be like she's showing off her child!!]

[hyruglyphics]

No more than anyone else... [ Is what she starts to say, but then laughs a little and knows that's too modest that it turns around into sounding arrogant. She ] Well, no more than Kayneth, at least.

[ Kayneth stepped up first and that's even more impressive if you ask her. ]

[fatalstrikes]

Oh yeah? I'd like to see her!

[anythingforyou]

That would make sense, wouldn't it...?

[...It seems legit? Fire Emblem has no set timeframe of years so she may not know what magnets are but there is something attracting it back, so like. The concept, she can get.

...Of course, captain mama bird is gonna notice Zelda not being her usually perky self, admittedly.]

...Sweetie? How are you feeling?

[hyruglyphics]

[ To think that she would be thought of as "perky" as being her normal self... how times have changed for her, even if it's true. She shakes her head slightly and sort of shifts a bit as she stands ]

I'm merely tired... and I suppose I'm trying to follow that mantra of learning from failure.

[anythingforyou]

Just one moment, then.

[She's gonna go and grab her little friend, and surely enough, when Camilla wanders back in she's followed along by a toddling little dinosaur, who's...about as blank faced as they come, but hey, she's cute.]

Here she is! Isn't she just the most darling creature? I never thought I would be able to find something cuter than Arion, but she's just entirely too precious! Beruka, say hello, won't you?

[The Tyrunt raises one of her little hands up, though she does it with that ever present blank look. She's. She's trying, okay.]

[fatalstrikes]

Oh hey, look at her, she is cute!

[Cute in an "I'm going to rip your face off if you look at me wrong" kind of way, but it still counts, right??]

You've already decided on a name for her?

[anythingforyou]

That is true, isn't it? It's...certainly an unusual thing to get used to, I must admit. It's even weirder when you consider where one's food comes from, here; why, Rin was telling me about the fact that any edible eggs we may have come from some sort of 'kangaroo' creature, who holds them in their pouch...

[Sinnoh is fucking weird.]

[eudaimonikos]

[..........]

A single human life seems so small, if you’ve never actually cared about any single human. [He smiles, an unpleasant expression that’s entirely wasted anyway.] I bet they think they’re being nice.

[semistableman]

[...Why is this place so weird.]

It holds eggs in its pouch?

[...]

Makes me glad I'm a vegetarian.

[takestheblame]

[Look at that blue ball of toxins that hatched from your egg, Emmeryn! It's precious]

You think they're related? They did have the eggs all together back in Pastoria. They could be from the same litter.

[He has no idea why they have different colors, though]

[takestheblame]

We could try to get a guide or someone to help us once someone snaps out of the spiritless brainwashing enough for that. We'll be safer if there's someone who knows the best routes.

[Giving a salary is a good incentive, and between the twenty-something people here they should be able to gather enough money from time to time! He hopes]

[anythingforyou]

[...OH NO, THAT'S PRECIOUS. Camilla's eyes light up when she sees the little pooch, and honestly, it's so nice to see him so enthused.]

Why, that would be a lovely idea! I know little of dogs, but I know that hunters usually like to give them something to teeth on...as long as it's a nice, durable little toy, he'll have the time of his life.

[A lot of shit may be an uncertainty, but spoiling these creatures rotten is something Camilla can get behind. The more excessive, the better!! ...Within their 'very little money' budgets, of course.]

[anythingforyou]

...You may very well be right, sweetie.

[No good father would have ever made her fight her sweet sister, would he? He wouldn't have done any of this, to them, to...

Camilla's face goes noticeably downcast for a moment, there, but she forces herself to perk back up and give a slightly apologetic look to Ventus.]

Do allow me to apologize for bringing your mood down. You're absolutely right; if we can solve these ordeals as peacefully as possible, no one will get hurt. I believe that's what anyone would want, in this situation.

[eudaimonikos]

...I’m glad we found Maylene. I’d sort of wanted to before, but once we left Veilstone, I figured that was the end of it. Nice to have the rest of it go our way for once, too.

[nooooo fuckin mention of how they all met a god]

You?

[divinedescendant]

They may be. They look awfully similar, don't they?

[She shifts her precious bundle of cute blue venom in her arms so they can get a better look to compare.]

I can't imagine they could all be from the same litter, looking at the others... [also how tf are some of these things coming out of eggs?? didn't someone get a DOG????] ...but these two seem so much alike. They're such sweet little things.

[eudaimonikos]

Only thing that’s kept me alive. Kinda fun anyway, isn’t it?

[enjoymyatelier]

Possibly. I've seen some mention of rare, differently colored Pokemon in my reading, but... hm.

Well, that's an interesting mystery, isn't it?

[He smiles back, because fuck it, Zelda's like a favorite pupil at this point. she rules.]
