Good morning!

[The greeting precedes the video by just a hair as Chihiro's bedroom swings into view and dear sweet gracious Lord there are eggs everywhere.

No joke, there are eggs. Everywhere. They are resting on every available surface that is soft and/or isn't the floor, most of them taking up space on Chihiro's bed. May God have mercy on those living in the Dangan House, but he has been making pains to be as least intrusive with all of this as possible, at least.]

It's only a few days until Christmas, right? I've been working on a big breeding project this month, so I have a lot of eggs to give away.

They are all going to be free, so don't worry about paying me anything! Consider it an early Christmas present.

[He offers the camera a warm smile, then continues.]

Just make sure to give them good homes, okay?

((OOC: Egg list is here! There are still plenty left!))

[Luckily for Archer, Chihiro has the utmost confidence that he fully intends to give his fox a good and loving home.]

You're welcome!

And, well...I'm not sure yet, actually. I'm considering raising a few myself, but I'm really hoping I can find homes for the rest. I haven't thought much about what I would do if I couldn't.

[And he can't donate them to the breeding center, since it isn't running currently...]

I'm sure there has to be plenty of trainers out there who would want them, right?

[sadisticwarfare]

[Well you're not wrong there! Archer is actually not a godawful trainer! Somehow. Maybe it's because he's been here for three years.

However once he finds out it evolves into a Psychic-type everything is going to go downhill really fast.]

I'm sure there will, but you should be careful with them. The last time I had leftover eggs I had to hatch them all before I could do anything with them and that took quite a long time.

[LOOK HE PRETTY MUCH LIVES IN HIS HOUSE AND NEVER LEAVES SO...]

[codeforhope]

[...Oh dear. Well, at least it'll be fine for a little while?]

I can imagine it would. I honestly wasn't expecting to end up with quite this many eggs...

[Did you know that for some inexplicable reason, Musharna can produce 8-10 eggs for breeders? He sure didn't.

Thankfully he was blessed with far less, and that was just with one pair.]

[sadisticwarfare]

Believe me, I understand how that goes.

[NEVER AGAIN.

...Also never talk to him about Musharna, he has never been so disappointed in a Pokémon.]

[codeforhope]

[Well that's a bit concerning.]

If I do end up with leftover eggs I will hatch them, I suppose...though I'm not sure what I'll do with them after that.

[He'd much rather not just release them, if he can help it.]

[sadisticwarfare]

Unfortunately I had to release the ones I had into the wild, but I'm sure they were taken in by the local Pokémon.

[Though that means that there are some absolutely terrifying Onixes in the Ice Path now, um.]

[codeforhope]

[ARCHER WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING...]

Oh, you think so? Well, that isn't so bad, if that is the case...

[sadisticwarfare]

[DON'T BLAME HIM it's Kimblee's fault for loading his Steelix with all sorts of horrifying moves, honest!!]

They're resilient; their level and age doesn't determine how well they'll fare in the wild, so you don't need to be concerned about that.

[codeforhope]

[He nods a little, both in agreement and to try to reassure himself that Archer's right.]

You're right. Even Pokemon who have just hatched can be a lot stronger than they get credit for.

[If you've ever dealt with a, say, freshly hatched Gible, you'd know that. He learned that the hard way. Whoops.]

[sadisticwarfare]

Of course, especially the ones with a lot of powerful egg moves. There's no reason to be concerned about them.

[codeforhope]

That's right! And all of them have at least a few egg moves. Some quite a few more than others.

[Barring the Riolu, but at least one already has a home!]
