[Hello, video feed. Let's play Kindergarten reading! Alright, let's start.

See Souji.

See Souji in his room.

See Souji in his room going "fmlfmlfml"

See Souji in his room going "fmlfmlfml" while facepalming.

Why is he like this?

Well, the camera pans around and-- oh! Look POKEMON EGGS!

He's pretty much swamped with Pokemon eggs. They are just everywhere. The beds, the chairs, the floor. Yeah, it's pretty bad. His Pokemon asides from Gible looks pretty guilty in the background, even the huge Gyarados outside that's looking through the little window. They all have this guilt-stricken look...except his Ditto which is just grinning like it just did the greatest thing ever. It doesn't take much to figure out what has happened, and oh, did we mention this Ditto is just giving this smug look to the camera?

What a douche.]

Hey guys...

[A pause....how does he word this...]

Long story short: I found a Ditto in my box, left it in my room with my other Pokemon to let it know each other, came back from shopping an hour or later, and found this....

[Just...Just give him a few seconds to facepalm again and stop looking so damn proud, Ditto.]

So, does anyone want any eggs? I got eggs from a Jynx, a Skarmory, a Gyarados, and a Charmeleon.

Just...take your pick. I can't keep all of these... Just give me any offer. I'm more concerned about trying to find homes for all of these guys than anything else. I'll just have my Skarmory deliver them if you're somewhere other than Violet City.

Yeah...thanks, guys...

[So, tl;dr MY DITTO IS A GODDAMN PERSONA PROTAGONIST TAKE THESE EGGS AWAY]

(( OOC: PS: this is for you, kosy ))

[Well, let's go and find out! Souji just clears a small path towards the door through the eggs and opens it up.]

...Are you alright?

[a very tall, lanky man greets him on the other side, and looks at him somewhat-guiltily. There is a Glameow dangling from his nose by it's claws, and an Eevee happily gnawing on his pantleg]

Y-Yes. [he says, clearing his throat] I'm fine. [...aaand detaching Princess from his face with a scowl]

[...Right...Well, he's just going to step aside to allow the other person in.]

Come in-- [A small pause since, hey, he doesn't know this guy's name!]

Edited 2011-01-22 18:29 (UTC)

--Gaga [he says, with a cordial bow before accepting the invitation inside] Head steward of His Majesty's palace for over one thousand years.

....and these are Princess [brief gesture at the Glameow he's still holding between his hands] and Eevee.

Veeee! [the little brown vulpine squeals in delight, romping into the room and...seeming content to chase it's own tail in circles in the middle of the floor. As she's set down, Princess is more cautious, taking the time, seemingly, to sniff curiously at every egg. ...either way, they're behaving.]

Nice to meet you, Gaga-san, and so as your Pokemon. [He does a small bow with his head. Well, no handshake since Gaga did a bow, but the Pokemon get a wave. Oh, and he guesses he can introduce his own Pokemon since he did so.]

I'm Souji Seta. That's Izanagi. [The Skarmory flaps its wings and lets out a cry] Kohryu is the one by the window. [The Gyarados roars in greeting a bit too loudly.] Ishtar with the egg. [The Jynx makes a kissing motion towards both Gaga and Souji.] Mada watching over Ongyo-Ki. [The Charmander just waves along with the baby Gible.] And, Ditto over there. [The nameless Ditto just transforms into a Charmander and waves.]

[He seems a bit taken aback at just how -large- the Gyarados, in particular, is. Were he still in possession of his fur, it would have bristled in alarm. No one warned him pokemon got THAT big...]

I--Its a pleasure to meet you all. [...were you meant to greet pokemon? He isn't sure. He'd rather air on the safe side than risk insulting a giant blue dragon and a knife-winged bird.

As the Ditto transforms, a smile ghosts at his mouth, seeming to break the ice.]

...ah, the proud father, I assume?

[Souji nods and looks more embarrassed than anything else. Why does he have a sex icon as a Pokemon?]

Yeah, but more like the mother since all but one of my Pokemon are male... [Well, Souji gotta fix that with some new Pokemon!]

Ah, I see...

Well, surely one of these must be... [he trails off, realizing just how MANY of the eggs there are. Even moreso than there had appeared to be on the communicator. If HE were in Souji's place, he certainly would have no interest in waiting for them all to hatch in hopes of finding a female.

He clears his throat, and offers another brief bow] My apologies, Mister Souji. I'm sure you have much greater worries on your hands at the moment than worrying what gender all of these might become.

[He raises one hand and just shakes his head.] No need to apologize. My only main concern is to find homes for all of these.

And no need to add the "Mister". Just "Souji" is fine.

Of course, M--erm, of course, Souji.

[Manners clearly have been pummeled into this guy. Sort of. Clearly he'd never taken having to deal with pokemon into account. As long as they're staying occupied and aren't causing trouble, however, it's all good. And he doesn't HEAR any eggs breaking (thankfully)...]

Well, that being the case, I'd gladly give one of them a home. I only have two to look after myself, and now that I'm making steady progress on my travels I have more than enough to feed the three of us. Four shouldn't be a problem.

Is there something in particular you'd like as payment?

[Souji was jammed with manners too, so they can bond over that. Awww yeah and he just shakes his head.]

You don't need to pay me much. Some people are paying with an egg of their own, but just P100 is good.

Hm? That little? [he really wasn't kidding about wanting to be rid of these eggs...he'd had shops charge him more for a hot lunch than that]

I'm afraid I don't have any eggs to offer, but--let me see...

[And he'll just...set his bag on the floor and begin to rifle into it. He's sure he can afford the money but surely there's something ELSE he can throw in to make the trade a bit more even-sided so he's not--]

Mrewwwww!!

[he tenses, gritting his teeth. They'd not even been here ten minutes and she was picking a fight?! ....except Princess sounded much different when she was angry. This had almost sounded like a happy cheer of some sort.

....why did he suddenly dread turning around to check?]

[Suddenly...Souji is feeling that same dread to check. Oh God, please don't tell him--]

...Do you know where Princess is off to right now? [NOT WITH HIS DITTO, PLEASE DON'T BE WITH HIS DITTO, DO NOT BE IN THE CLOSET WITH HIS DITTO OH GOD WHERE'S THE EEVEE OH GOD PLEASE TELL HIM THAT GAGA HAS HIS POKEMON WITH HIM]

She was... both of them were visiting with yours. I thought--

[Well he apparently THOUGHT Souji's ditto might at least confine itself to the standards of being friendly with pokemon it at least was on a first-name basis with...

....

He drags his eyes away from Souji with great reluctance and toward the source of the noise. It couldn't-- They hadn't POSSIBLY--

Princess sat in the midst of three eggs, beaming proudly. Look what she helped make. Are you looking? Pff, like she expected YOU guys to understand...

A short distance away, Eevee likewise sat in the middle of a small cluster of eggs, looking just as clueless as ever as it sniffed at them. When that didn't provide any answers, it extended it's tongue and tasted one. They tasted like....being daddy? 8B]
