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]

You can make a small donation to the Kurain School if you want, but it's free to play.

[ She wordlessly digs into one of her pockets and procures a small bag filled with money, sliding it across the table and over to the girl. Katarina understood the importance of an education, and was more than happy to fork over what she had in her pockets. It didn't hurt that the Du Couteau family was fairly wealthy in its own right, but that was neither here nor there. ]

I choose that one, then. [ Katarina points to the Misdreavus decoration. Here's to hoping luck is on her side. ]

[somnambulatory]

Th-thank you very much!

[That is way more money than Jinxie has ever seen at once. And perhaps that generosity has paid off in more ways than one, because Katarina's choice does indeed result in a slip of paper with 'Pokemon egg' written on it.]

Oh, congratulations! Which egg would you like?

[Drifloon, Rotom, Shuppet, Gastly, and Misdreavus are the eggs that are left.]

[ Katarina simply inclines her head in response to Jinxie's gratitude. ]

A school is a respectable establishment. I'd hope donations have been frequent and generous.

[ To say that the ranger's eyes light up at the sight of the words "Pokemon egg" on the slip of paper would be a severe understatement. Were Katarina the smiling type, her face would have cracked in two with the sheer brilliance of the smile that threatens the corners of her lips.

But alas, a smiler she is not. Instead, she looks vaguely surprised, though not displeased. ]

...The Shuppet egg, then. [ How marvelous! ]

[somnambulatory]

Still, thank you. I'm sure Maya will be very happy.

[Jinxie bows her head gratefully as she waits for Katarina to make her choice. Looks like they were both able to make each other happy! And once she chooses, Jinxie nods and retrieves the egg from behind the table, setting it down in front of her.]

Here you go.

[ooc: It hatches on the 16th and will know an Egg Move.]
