Three years ago today I was kicked out of my mother's house into a frozen wasteland, expected to travel on my own with nothing but the most annoying animal to keep me company.

[There's an almost listless sigh to accompany the narrative. The screen is taken up by the sight of the ocean in the late afternoon. If the voice wasn't a give away, it likely isn't hard to guess who is broadcasting this.]

I'm really grateful that whatever brings people here decided to bring me. These have been the best three years of my life, I'm fairly certain. The friends I've made, the relationships I've formed, the bonds with the Pokemon I've acquired...all my adventures and the memories I've made.

I want to sincerely thank everyone here for having me. And tell you all that I'm glad you're here with me, even if we haven't met. Because I'm sure our paths will cross eventually.

[[Today the video shows a very modest cake. It has light blue icing with small, decorative flowers along the edge of it. On top it reads "Happy Birthday".]]

I'm not sure how many are aware of this, but today is the birthday of John Egbert and Jane Crocker. There was going to be a party, I'm sure some of you heard about it, but unfortunately Jane wouldn't be awake for it. I feel it should be postponed, so that she can participate in her own birthday.

That being said, however, a few well wishes sent their way would be appreciated.

[[That's where the public feed ends.]]

[Private to Dave]

Hey. [[The cake is no longer the star of the video, instead it's Rose.]] There are a few things I want to ask. One; Do you want to do something for John today? And two...mother's day is next month, you know.

What do we want to do about that? I want to make this...as best as I possibly can for her. Just...in case this is the only one she's ever here for...

[[When the feed flips on, there's a momentary view of Rose, and she looks as though she's about to say something, but that ends pretty quick. Why? Because her gear is snatched and hopped - yes, hopped - away with. There's an excited "Lo!!!" in the background as the culprit speeds off, giving all who are watching the feed a lovely view of Saffron as it goes.]]

Mia!

[[Behind the Pokemon in question - Mia - you can hear the trainer demand she stop, return the gear, behave, and various other exclamations as one can assume she gives chase. At one point, the gearnapper turns around, hopping backwards, allowing the video to pick up Rose who is running out of steam pretty quickly. Winded, she finally staggers to a stop, glaring after the Pokemon. This is when her other companions finally jump in to help.

In specific, a recently evolved Dragonite. It takes little effort for him to swoop down and capture the Lopunny (now evident by the loud "LO! LOPUNNY!!!" complaints) and return her to Rose.

Taking the gear back, she brushes her bangs from her eyes and tucks them behind her ears.]]

As I was about to say. I am pleased to introduce two new evolutions - Vodka Derptini who is now a Dragonite and Mia - [[A momentary glare over the gear.]] - who is now a Lopunny - as well as welcome my newest team member. Odsaffta the Ekans.

[[A pan of the video to show each Pokemon off in turn before it turns back to her.]]

I would also like to say that Saffron is a lovely city. Certainly more than I expected. I am enjoying comparing it to the location from the video game back home. How is everyone else enjoying their time here?

( Private to Dave )

[[Good afternoon, Johto. Have you noticed how it has gotten a tad chillier as of late? I bet you have.

So has Rose, judging from the fact she's wearing her light jacket once more. Of course, the cold is not what she is here to discuss.

No, it's the rain she is interested about.]]

I have a few questions. I've done a little venturing of my own within the stores around Goldenrod - and naming said city might make these a bit of a shock - but I am having a bit of trouble finding a few things.

Tarps, being one of them. I would figure they would be in a weather-like aisle, would they not? I wouldn't know, I've never needed to shop for tarps. However, I feel they would likely be useful, as I'm sure it is going to begin raining soon. If Johto is anything like New York during the fall.

I'm also curious as to if there are any stores that sell Pokemon clothes. Not costumes, but clothes. I'm in the market for a raincoat or two. And while I can knit, it isn't as if yarn is waterproof.

Thank you.

[[Good afteroon, Johto. What a lovely day it is, isn't it? Sunny, unbearably warm, perfect day to stay inside and...

Sell eggs, apparently.

Your 'gears are now showing the site of a small collection of eggs, and a very happy pair of parents sitting near by.]]

Salutations, everyone. We have come into possession of a handful of Buneary eggs, and would like to find them homes.

[[The camera turns towards the owner, Rose, as she smiles pleasantly and invitingly. You know you want one.]]

We being myself and John. The mother is a very pleasant, adoring and energetic Lopunny by the name of Casey. She simply loves everything and everyone, and very much enjoys hugging. However, she is also a good listener and decent at battle as well. The father is a more timid and shy Ampharos by the name of Halos. He is very mild natured, and tends to be a bit more laid back. However he is the sweetest thing, and while not the most talented battler on his own, follows instructions very well. Their offspring are sure to be good Pokemon.

[[And now a more knowing, almost sales-person like smile replaces the pleasant one.]]

Now, if all of my studying is correct - which I assure you, it is - this particular combination yeilds not only pleasant offspring, but talented ones as well. By that, I mean they are equipped with moves at birth. Those being Thunder Punch and Fire Punch. Neither of which Lopunnies are able to learn on their own.

[[Sitting back, she sets the gear down on the table in front of her, crossing her arms.]]

The price we've decided upon is 2,500P. Of course, negotiations are possible in some cases, though I make no promises. Thank you for your inte--

Rose? Are you sure I can't just...keep them all?

[[Very slowly, a hand raises to cover her face as she sighs. It's pretty easy to tell that they've probably been talking about this for a while.]]

No, John. You cannot keep them all.

But they're Casey's babies!

I realize that John. We cannot, however, afford to keep that many young Pokemon.

[[She reaches out to turn off the gear as he begins yet another retort.]]

Can't we keep just one?

...maybe one.

((OOC: Replies will be from either Rose or John, or both! All eggs have been claimed, via this post, however you are still welcome to comment and/or inquire about the eggs anyway, because these two both enjoy chit chat, and this likely won't be the last time these Pokemon have eggs.

Casey is a rabbit after all.))

[Video filtered AWAY from Eridan.]

[[When the video feed flicks on, Johto is greeted by a very confused looking Rose. Or not so much confused, but a mixture of that and curious. She sets the gear down, then moves to hold up an egg. A dratini egg, to be precise, with a lovely lavender bow on it.]]

Would anyone happen to be willing to tell me who left this here for me? I'm fairly certain it's a gift, yes, and I realize the point of anonymity is to remain unknown, however I am curious as to what the egg is.

And, honestly, I'd like to believe I am rather approachable.

...and how you manage to enter my room. [[Click!]]

[[The feed flicks on to show a pile of eggs, a very happy looking Eevee and mildly disgruntled Glameow sitting in front of them.]]

Good afternoon, Johto. As you can see, I find myself in possession of a handful of eggs.

[[The Eevee chirps quite excitedly at the mention of her beeeautiful eggs, and tries to nuzzle the Glameow, who refuses to do such a thing on camera. Really, Rose is lucky to have gotten him to sit there at all.]]

Thanks to the parents being Guile and Karkitty, we've got an even number of Eevee and Glameow eggs available for purchase. We are selling the Eevee eggs at 3,000P each, while the Glameow will be 2,500P.

You may get answers from Karkat as well as myself, depending on who is able to reply, if you are interested.

We are located in Violet, however we are able to send eggs to you if need be.

Thank you.

[[OOC: So you might get replies from Karkat and Dave as well as Rose, or all three! Either way, everything is still the same of course. :3 All eggs have been called for before hand.

Following eggs were sent out to the following people.
1 Eevee egg to Kisa (to repay for the Shinx eggs!)
1 Eevee egg to Clubs Deuce (to repay for everything fff)

Uh. I think that's pretty much it! :D]]

[Video for Dave]

[[Hello Dave, have a very disgruntled yet still somewhat happy looking Rose. Tired, obviously just woke out of bed, and definitely has something to tell you.]]

I thought you would be pleased to know Guile has had her first batch of eggs.

[Action for Karkat]

[[And now that she's done with that, she'll just be getting up and knocking on Karkat's bedroom door.]]

I apologize for waking you, Karkat, but there's a matter which needs tending, and I believe it requires both of our opinions.
