Kunai the 12th: Video/Action for Violet

[itsjustdust]

[There is a lot of rustling around, and finally a bit of a clatter before any kind of visual turns on... and the first thing everyone sees is a rather smug looking Zoroark, one who looks like he's about to launch into trying to communicate with you all before Obito's voice is heard in the background.]

OI! Henge! Flip that around okay?

[Huffing, the gear is turned around, and Obito is shown standing fairly deep into mountain of carefully sorted eggs, which have sticky notes slapped on all of them saying what they are. He gave everyone a little wave once the gear was turned on him.]

So I had this brilliant plan to breed up some eggs so that I could try and help supplement the household funds, what with there being so many of us to feed and shelter and whatnot right? But I er, might've sorta kinda forgot that when my pokemon have babies they're really enthusiastic about it.

So I'm selling them all! [He waved his arms to encompass the room.]

Also, for those of you not interested in eggs, which would make me sad but hey, I can handle it, how many of you have had to get a handle on how you feel about people showing up from home and knowing that... all isn't well and there's nothing you can do about it?

Like, really really nothing you could do, even if you went home right this second.

[Cue this girl walking in seeing this mountain of piles in the room.]

Oh my god.

Action

[itsjustdust]

Hi Yumi!

[There was a beat of pause, then he handed her an egg.]

For you! I noticed you seem to like dog-types. If you uh, want anything else though just let me know okay? Some of these were from some of your pokemon...

Action

[notchinese]

I do? [She didn't really mention that to anyone or didn't need to, being an animal lover in general.] Um, thanks. That's nice of you...

[Wait, some of her pokemon?]

How much of my pokemon exactly?

[used_bubble]

Someone let you breed these things?

[Video? Voice? you get Video!]

[itsjustdust]

What's that supposed to mean?!

[Video]

[used_bubble]

From what I've read, breeding them seems to be a very time consuming project. You don't seem the type to sit around for long.

Video

[naive_nature]

That's...quite a bit of eggs there. What are those purplish ones of?

Video

[itsjustdust]

Uhhh...

[Give him a minute while he picks one up and turns it around so the sticky note faces the camera. Purrloin?] You meant this one right?

Re: Video

[naive_nature]

No, the other ones- I think I can make out a "D" on the note...

[Blake may never truly understand how the goggles kid talked him into letting him borrow his team]

[The pile of eggs makes things harder to ignore]

Remember the conditions, kid: I get a couple of the tough ones, and you never, ever tell me the details of how this works.

[itsjustdust]

[He couldn't help it, he laughed.]

I know, I know. I set some aside I figured you might like, I'll run them over to you this afternoon if you're still in town. Think you want any you didn't have a hand in? I have some variety!

[video]

[lieutenantantichrist]

[Blake scowls. This is not funny.]

No way. I'm only taking custody of the ones mine are...what, egg parents for?

[He looks disturbed] Am I some kind of magic dog pimp now?

[canthearyou]

I don't need any eggs, but if you don't mind my asking, what do you mean by all isn't well?

[He's assuming it's some sort of ninja problem, but Gordon's not entirely sure what that entails.]

[text]

[itsjustdust]

Oh wow, I haven't seen you around in a while, how you been?

But... just things going wrong, then more wrong, in big, life ending catastrophic ways, and I know I don't even know half of what goes on.

[text]

[canthearyou]

Things haven't been great lately, but they're getting better.

I'm sorry to see that you've had to deal with things like that. I have no idea if they're comparable, but as a federal agent, I've seen my share of catastrophes and they're not something I'd want other people to have to deal with.

[Hikari couldn't help but be... completely confused. That was, well... a lot of eggs.]

You really should remember that for next time, Obito-kun.

[There was his other question, and Hikari didn't really need another egg right now anyway.]

But did something happen Obito? That's not really a question most people would ask just randomly.

video

[itsjustdust]

I will, it's kinda a hard learned lesson here.

[He gave her a small smile, then sighed.]

I've just found out a lot I'm not sure I'm happy knowing in the last few months is all.

[ragnarok_strike]

[Laguna pauses... and then crosses his arms. He doesn't know what's going on back home. He doesn't know if he's dead or alive, he doesn't know if awful things are happening or not. I mean, the ruler of Esthar just went to space. There must be more happening... argh. Laguna doesn't like thinking about things like this, but... he can't help but worry.]
I don't know. [He finally said, before shaking his head.] I mean-- if I could change whatever bad things were happenin', that's what I'd do - but if I couldn't, even though I knew about it?
I think that'd worry me the most.
[But, a pause.]
Chikorita are grass-types, right? I'm thinkin' of getting a secondary team all trained up in case Ellone shows up here.

[video]

[itsjustdust]

So I'm not the only one in that position. That's kinda reassuring Laguna.

[But he sees what you did there.]

Yeah, Grass types, pretty feisty too.

[video]

[enjoymyatelier]

I have enough on my plate already, unfortunately, so I'll have to pass on the eggs unless you manage to sell me on one.

As for your question... never accept helplessness as the only option.

[video]

[itsjustdust]

I don't mind trying if you want me to, I mean, the Dratinis are awesome!

And... I don't really want to, and I've been doing a lot around here, but I'm not sure what else to do.

[While he'd seen the video on his break, Minato had decided to wait until after work to talk to his student. They were staying in the same place and all, it was a little silly to chat over the 'gear when he could wait a few hours and just walk down the hallway instead.

So. Knock knock, kiddo.]

Obito?

[action FOREVER]

[itsjustdust]

[The egg supply had dropped by a decent number, but were, by no means, all gone.]

Hey Sensei.

SHIT I FORGOT ABOUT THIS [video]

[digitalorunknown]

[Huh, eggs.



-wait, that word there-!!]

Meowth? [THE MONEY CAT]

NO TROUBLES, ALL IS HAPPY [video]

[itsjustdust]

Eh? Yep! I have a whole pack of them. Did you want one? [He headed that way immediately, because seriously, that was one of his biggest egg piles.]
