103rd moon [video]

[Cecil does not speak nor does he show himself when he first turn the Pokégear on, but his purpose should still be clear. Three piles of eggs, two small and one extremely large, are proudly displayed with signs that claim prices of P500, P1000 and P1500 respectively. Rosie the Clefable and Noelle the Blissey are also present, repeatedly pointing at the eggs and at the signs as if to show off their wares. Other Pokémon, while unseen, make various comments as it goes on, mostly to praise the strength of their unhatched children.

Cecil lets them do so for a minute, before he finally comments on the whole situation.]

...Noelle, is this an inappropriate time to mention I've been craving poached eggs the whole day?

[Mercifully, he turns off the Pokégear before the ensuing screaming becomes too loud.]


((Eggs a-plenty still available here!))

[Please don't joke about egg babies like that. Have one somewhat horrified young man just not knowing what to say for a moment.]

.... P-Please don't eat them.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

Wha- I was hardly going to eat these! I've only been thinking of a regular, poached Blissey egg, I swear it!

[...Considering there's a baby Happiny in one of those piles, that might not be so reassuring.]

[Video]

[seasaltkey]

Y-You eat Blissey eggs? But... what if there's a Happiny in the egg?

[HOW COULD YOU]

[video]

[samsa]

[So tactful, Cecil.

Also is it just him or do these Network posts by breeders seem to be showing exponentially more eggs over time...]

I don't think that comment was all that appreciated...

[video]

[paladinlost]

[That's how the Pokémon World will end: buried under a pile of eggs.]

Noelle is usually happy to give me her edible eggs! I did not imagine they'd believe I'd eat their own children!

[video]

[samsa]

I guess it was still bad timing to say that, either way.

[Edible eggs? ...huh. He didn't know that was a thing. Or, well, edible in the sense that you're not eating an unhatched Poochyena or something.]

Do you think you'll be able to find homes for all of those?

[the_pilgrim]

W-Wow....

Video

[paladinlost]

The pile is... impressive to behold, I admit. But it's not exactly what I strived for.

Re: Video

[the_pilgrim]

Do you know what species they all are?

[usedlightscreen]

Trying to find homes for a few surprises?

[Or a lot of surprises. It looks like a lot.

Also those two pink pokemon are very cute what are thoooooooose]

[paladinlost]

I've not had a 'few' surprises at a time for many years, believe me. But it would make me very happy if they all found loving trainers and teams.

[He cares about them all, really. There's just so many...]

[usedlightscreen]

Well, I could probably help you out with that.

[He DOES owe Carolina something for the Eevee egg after all.]

[ratherbelocky]

Jiminy Christmas, did these all happen at once?

[What kind of crazy orgy did your Pokémon organize, dude?]

[paladinlost]

These happened over a period of approximately eight hours, while I was at work. They know I do not usually encourage such large clutches.

[Cecil doesn't know. Cecil doesn't want to know.]

[ratherbelocky]

I see I've got a lot to look forward to. Maybe I oughta get North to invest in a covered wagon with me.

[York leans back in his seat, arms crossed.]

I guess for now, though, I could help take one of those off your hands.

[dreamsofahero]

Ah, I see your team's been busy...

[paladinlost]

Busy, active and affectionate. I should be glad.

[He's not. Much.]

[dreamsofahero]

You would just prefer if they'd been slightly less affectionate?

[Video]

[wing_attack]

... Is that a Magikarp?

[He's been looking at Gyarados recently, so...]

[Video]

[paladinlost]

Ah, yes. Were you seeking one? They'll not know Tackle, but they should be very healthy.

[Please take a Magikarp. They deserve love and respect, and they never get them.]

[Video]

[wing_attack]

Sure. I've been meaning to get my hands on a Gyarados anyway. It's not a bird, but it's a flying type.

Video

[eclipse_of_time]

My goodness!

So many eggs....

How many can they have at once?

Video

[paladinlost]

By waiting until I've left the house, and working efficiently as a team.

[That almost makes them sound like a criminal group, but Cecil doesn't want to know more of the details.]

As a trainer, I'm very lucky. A breeder's clutch would have been much larger.

[secondplacing]

[The third of the merry band of mercs arrives!

...Okay, no. She starts out on voice out of habit, but quickly switches to video, since that seems to be norm around here.]

I'd be willing to take one or two off your hands. One of those looks like one I was looking at the other week.

That happen to be a Tyrantum egg?

Video;

[paladinlost]

[Ah, a woman of great taste. Cecil digs into the pile to grab the egg in question.]

It is, yes. I've no idea what moves it'll know, but considering the father's type there should be a handful. In what other species are you interested?
