ratherbelockyEvening, good folks and gentlepeople. York here, back in town from a quick trip to Ecruteak with an exciting announcement for anyone passing through Goldenrod in the coming months. D-2, take it back.
[Whoever's holding the PokéGear moves back to show York sitting on his couch with about twenty eggs, each bundled tenderly in a cute yellow-gold blanket against the February chill. York and the Granbull sitting next to him don't look cold at all, though. They look hype as hell.
They're wearing Goldenrod Granbulls baseball uniforms and couldn't be more excited.]
Baseball season's right around the corner! Starting in March, there'll be biweekly games every Sunday at the stadium here, and practices are free to watch on Fridays. If you're in town, come on and support Johto's reigning champs, the Goldenrod Granbulls.
[Yankee Doodle, his Granbull, barks a gruff cheer. Go Granbulls! York grins and holds up the egg on his lap.]
As a promotional deal, I'm gonna be offering free Snubbull eggs to anyone who shows me proof of purchase of a Granbulls ticket. All I ask is that you take a selfie with your new buddy at the game! These four'll hatch in about a week, so you got time before the season starts. And if you miss out on these ones, I'll keep breeding until the season ends, so you'll get another chance. I'll add that their father's a shiny, so some lucky winner's got a shot at getting a shiny of their own.
[He hands the Snubbull egg to Yankee Doodle, who takes it with a mother's loving care and moves to settle it like the others. York waves openly at the rest.]
I also got a bunch of other species on offer--Abra, Elgyem, Meowth, and so on. I'll send out the pricelist and the moves each one should learn as a text in a second.
Oh, and any new kids who just arrived, you can pick one out on the house. I recommend Meowth--these ones aren't much right now, but at level thirty, they'll learn a move that'll make your lives a heck of a lot easier.
[Somewhere off-screen, a Persian purrs his smug agreement.]
All right, that should cover everything. Agent York, over and out.
((Here's the OOC egg post, there's plenty of everything left! And you know what, I changed my mind, new arrivals can go for the Elgyem eggs free of charge, too.))

So you want a free egg? I'm happy to help you pick one if you just got here and don't know too many of these guys by name yet.

Date: 2016-02-10 01:10 am (UTC)Thank you.
[His smile fades though for a moment and after some fumbling, he turns his 'gear toward Eli who is diligently tearing apart a couple of short ropes tied together.]
I have him. He's sharp.
[Edward returns the camera to his own concerned face. It very clearly says please give me something this devil bird can't take apart.]

Date: 2016-02-10 01:17 am (UTC)[York rubs his chin as he looks over his offerings.]
Well, definitely not Abra...Hmmm. Hey, Queens, can you c'mere a minute?
[A very pink creature trundles over. His expression's a little goofy, but his eyes are bright and intelligent. York bobs his head at the 'Gear.]
Would one of your kids be able to defend themselves against that thing's feathers? Be honest.
[Queens peers at the feed, but decides, no, first things first. He waves with jolly friendliness at Edward. Hello!]

Date: 2016-02-10 02:02 am (UTC)[He steps out of frame for a moment and can be heard calling his team, and when he returns, it's with a practical menagerie of weird critters. He tilts the screen so she can see them all.]
Oh-kay, starting from my right, we got Beheeyem, Kadabra, Luxray, Weavile, you already saw Granbull, and Persian.
[He pauses for a moment, then kneels and pats his Weavile's head.]
Queens here isn't typical coloring for a Weavile, just so you know. I understand normally they're black and red, so his offspring probably will be, too.

Anyway, once you figure out how much you make and how much you need--I'm really stressing that need thing, D.L.--it's easy enough to subtract and see how much you've got left. At least half of that should go into your savings, and the rest? That's your spending money.

Date: 2016-02-12 09:54 pm (UTC)[She's legitimately impressed.]
I really like the Persian, though.

Date: 2016-02-12 09:59 pm (UTC)Good choice, a good choice. Especially for a new arrival. I'm afraid these eggs didn't get any special moves 'cause I bred Coney Island here with a Ditto, but if you train a Meowth up--that's the younger form--it'll learn a move called Payday. Bet you can figure out what that does.

Date: 2016-02-13 01:48 pm (UTC)[York catches himself for a moment, then laughs fondly.]
Well, I guess he's my boyfriend, now. He and Carolina and I go way back, we were all on the same squad.

Date: 2016-02-14 03:16 am (UTC)You're lucky to have him, I think. I don't know him all that well, of course, but he's a good person.

Date: 2016-02-16 01:03 pm (UTC)[York pats his head and Weavile smiles, then examines Skarmory. After a moment, he nods enthusiastically. Of course his babies can handle that punk bird, what do you take him for, he is a supreme gene machine.]
There you have it. What d'you say, man, you want one of these guys?

Date: 2016-02-16 01:09 pm (UTC)Yes. I will keep it safe.
