Action - come and win some baby ghostie eggs

[somnambulatory]

[During the Soulfasting celebration, Jinxie can be found in Ninetales Vale wearing a hoodie designed to look like a Drifloon, sitting behind a table set up with what looks somewhat like a shell game - three little ceramic decorations designed to look like a Duskull, a Gastly, and a Misdreavus covering up whatever hides underneath.  There's a sign in front that reads 'A WINNER EVERY TIME' with a list of prizes below:

1st Prize: Ghost Pokemon egg of your choice
2nd Prize: Magic charm from the Kurain School
3rd Prize: Pokemon food - special Ghost type blend]

Step up and try your luck!

((OOC: I'm basically just going to randomize for everyone who comes up to play.  It won't exactly be a shell game so much as 'pick one and get the prize written on the piece of paper hidden underneath' for ease of threading.))

[Eggs left: Drifloon, Misdreavus - pending 1 win for Melaka
Charms given: Confusion x1, 1 for Elly, 1 for Quinn]

[Oh...fine. He can go out of his way to be supportive, for once. He knows how important Soulfasting is to the girls.]

A winner every time, huh? You can't turn much of a profit like that, you know.

[He steps up to the table, taking one hand out of his pocket to adjust the Duskull mask over the side of his head.]

[somnambulatory]

I thought more people would come this way.

[biteoutofcrime]

Hm.

[He looks over the ceramic ghosts thoughtfully.]

Maya's being an obstinate asshole about dragging me around with her, but if she gives me a chance to breathe, I could try to send some business your way.

[By hook or by crook, you know. It's not really any skin off his back to bully people down to Jinxie's booth. He picks up the Gastly, finally, to see what's underneath.]

[somnambulatory]

Thanks... I'd appreciate it. I want to make sure these ghosts find good homes.

[Jinxie peers at the slip of paper underneath the Gastly face.]

You win one of my charms. Which one do you want?

[Fishing into her sleeve, Jinxie fans out four different charms in front of him: Hex, Curse, Barrier, and Confusion.]

[biteoutofcrime]

[He glances over them, then selects the one for Confusion and tucks it into his festival yukata. Shit's been confusing enough lately, it can't hurt to have some protection.]

Yeah, of course you do. [The Kurain girls are like that. Too nice for their own good sometimes, all of them.] Some of those eggs came from your partners, right?

[somnambulatory]

Uh huh. From Waff, Sparky, and Bonsai.

[Which is to say, her Drifblim, Rotom, and Trevenant.]

[biteoutofcrime]

[Either disturbed by Kuzuryuu putting the charm away, or somehow prompted by the talk of baby Pokemon, Karintou--Maya's Sylveon's daughter--pokes her little Eevee head out of Kuzuryuu's yukata to yip a hello. He rubs her between her ears absently.]

I'll keep a lookout for good trainers, then. Wouldn't want your friends' kids to end up with someone shitty.

[somnambulatory]

[Jinxie smiles, reaching her hand out toward the babbu.]

I don't think anyone would come here to try to win a ghost egg if they weren't planning on taking good care of it once it hatched...

[biteoutofcrime]

Yeah, well, you got a lot more faith in people than I do.

[Karintou, easy-going and cheerful, leans forward to touch her little pink tongue to Jinxie's hand.]

You never know what kind of an asshole you might be talking to, so keep your eyes open.

[somnambulatory]

[Good girl, Karintou. Jinxie pets her head gently.]

I'll make sure to watch out.
