[Appearing on the network this morning is a video live from the Dangan House, where things have...certainly happened. Chihiro stands in the center of his bedroom facing the camera with three eggs cradled in his arms of different colors. He seems to be alright, though rather flustered...and it's easy to see why. A Flareon lies on the bed next to a Persian with several eggs between them. Across the room, a Meganium has the edge of a towel in her mouth, fussing over getting it draped over one of the eggs.

Standing next to Chihiro is a Leavanny with an egg held carefully in her arms, watching the screen with a happy smile. All in all, if someone cares to count the eggs filling the room, they will find twenty in all.]

U-um....good morning.

[MISTAKES WERE MADE.]

Would...would anyone be interested in taking care of an egg? I can send a list of what I have, and their moves...

[The Leavanny gently places the egg in her arms on the bed between the Flareon's paws before stepping back over to Chihiro, relieving him of one of the eggs with a cheerful, "Lea! Leavanny!"]

They won't cost much...I-I trust that whoever gets one would take good care of them.

I just...have too many. I hope I can find them all good homes..

[He frets to himself as he looks down at the two eggs in his arms, one tawny and brown, the other plain white. The feed cuts as the Leavanny takes another egg from Chihiro before taking him by the hand, leading him back over to the bedside to check on the rest of the eggs.]

((OOC: There are still some eggs available HERE if anyone's interested!))

... Some kind of orgy happen?

[ SNAKE, PLEASE. Asimov the Ampharos gives Snake a bitter look and a static shock of disapproval, to which Snake responds with a grunt of pain. ]

Augh-- Er, I mean... Sorry...

I'll take an egg... How much are you selling them for...

[Chihiro jumps slightly at that, pulling back from the screen.]

O-of...of course. ...

...are you alright?

Yeah... Fine.

So... What do you have left?

U-um, well....

[Chihiro just sends the list of what's available. Some of the Pokemon are crossed off if they have been spoken for already.]

[ Snake reads it over, muttering to himself. ]

... Porygon? What the hell is that? [ He gets a stern glare from Asimov. ] Uh-- I mean, I'll take it.

[Chihiro frowns slightly, glancing off to the side nervously.]

Porygon are, um...man-made Pokemon. Mine likes to stay in my Gear, for example.

They....they can be a bit of a handful, but they are good Pokemon.

Man-made Pokémon, huh? Looks like we'll have something in common. [ Snake gives a bit of a smirk, checking the price. ] All right, I've got 1500P. I just send it to you, or how does this work?

Ah...yes. I will send the egg to your PC as soon as I possibly can. Hopefully I can get...most of these eggs off to their homes at the same time.

All right.

[ Snake's never transferred money through anything before, other than face-to-face, so... He's gonna be a bit slow, and obviously confused looking as he tries to figure this out. ]

[Chihiro doesn't mind. To be honest, he doesn't really need the money so much, but it is always nice to have some saved up and on hand, just in case.]

Thank you, by the way. I have so many eggs, so I'm glad people are interested in buying them.

Ever thought of forcing your team to... sleep separately? Might lower the egg count.

[ There wasn't really any Pokémon contraception, right? So in this case, just barring it off entirely was the only way to be safe. ]

Um...well...not exactly. But I bred them intentionally, actually.

[SO...the five million eggs was entirely his own fault.]

I just...was not expecting for there to be quite this many eggs...

[He's learning!]

Hnn.

I guess it must be that time of the year for Pokémon. Probably would be best to monitor the breeding or something... Or only let specific sets breed at specific times.

That way, you won't get swamped with eggs. [ That's what Snake thought, though, he definitely wasn't a breeder... It just made sense to separate horny animals. ]

Mhm. Next time, I will just breed one pair, or two perhaps, I think.

Better stick to one, kid. Two sounds like it'll get out of hand fast... What if they get interested in the other pair?

A-ah....yes. That is a good point. Perhaps one at a time might be better..

Sounds safer.

Considering the amount of times I've heard of people selling eggs and having a bunch of them, it's really not a bad idea...

I'd be a shitty breeder. [ Snake smirks. ] I'd just put two of them together and hope they get to third base.

[Chihiro ducks his head slightly and reaches up to brush his bangs out of his eyes, his face growing a bit red by now.]

Y-yes I....that...wouldn't be a smart practice...

[ Right, talking to a kid. Snake is terrible with kids. He rubs his neck absently, thinking about what to say. ]

...

Anyway, so, the Porygon will be in my box? [ BACK TO THE SUBJECT AT HAND. ] What do you recommend for raising one of these?

[And he's just going to latch onto that subject change, thank you very much.]

Yes, that's right. I have been...told before that it is a good idea to give Porygons something to do to keep them busy. Mine used to text people sometimes over the Network, and he still does...but not as often since I gave him a coding project to work on.

Coding?

[ Uh oh. ]

What if... you're not the best with gadgets and tech? [ Snake could always just throw Porygon at Otacon. That'd probably work. ]

Oh, well...that's alright. My Porygon seems to enjoy playing the games on the Gear too, sometimes. And of course I'm...sure you battle more than I ever would, so it's unlikely that it will get bored.

... Yyyeah.

I might need to get on that battling thing... [ Has not been battling as much as he shouuuuld. ]

Y-yes....me too. Though I do prefer simply...breeding over battling.

[Maybe one of these days he'll actually train more than just letting his 'mons spar with each other out in the yard.]

I prefer actual hand-to-hand than making my team fight for me. My instincts are pretty useless here.

[ Sigh. ]

What levels are your team anyway?
