Guess Whose Egg Just Hatched [Video]

[no_love_potions]

[The video pops up on what could be just about any average apartment. Basement by the placement of the windows, slightly gloomy maybe, and with little furniture besides a sofa, a large easy chair and some bookcases.

And that sparse furniture is in the process of tipping and falling all over the place as what looks like a hurricane roars through the small space, leaves visibly whipping and blowing all over. There's no sound except for a tune played over it all, courtesy of a certain Rotom.

A Gardevoir rolls past, looking positively outraged at what's going on. A Zorua scampers by, and quickly ducks for shelter behind the overturned sofa. Then the wizard himself slides into view, arms pinwheeling and a Pachirisu clings to his shoulder for dear life, flapping in the breeze. Mouse lunges in, teeth clamping on his trainer's shirt in an effort to keep him from blowing straight over while the wizard yells something that can't be heard over Toot's music. It works.

Until a flying book gets him right in the face and he goes right over as the music finally concludes.]

[ Rumbles a rather bandaged fellow. ]

[Better than this guy's doing, is the first thing Harry thinks to say when he hauls himself up with a grumble. In the background, the aforementioned Gardevoir picks herself up as well and storms out of the room with a huff, brushing herself off.]

Yeah. Yeah, I've lived through worse than a book to the face.

gack I lost this thread.

[greyerrant]

So have I.

So... er, what caused that?

No worries I'm slow as hell lately.

[no_love_potions]

You kinda look it.

[Nobody with that many bandages could be a stranger to getting whalloped now and then.]

Nothing that's an emergency. Just a freshly hatched Pokemon wanting to show off his cool moves.

Re: No worries I'm slow as hell lately.

[greyerrant]

Well, yes. Those are war wounds.

[ He nods. ]

Well, that's rather amusing. Mine are less... rambunctious.

[no_love_potions]

I can tell. They're very war-y

[That's a Calderan accent, if he doesn't miss his guess... that might actually be a compliment.]

That sounds nice, but what do you do when you need your apartment filled with leaves?

[greyerrant]

That's not a common need in caldera. Or, I would imagine, elsewhere.
[ He interprets the comment as a compliment. ]

It would appear, however, that you have found the solution to your own quandary in this matter, however.

[no_love_potions]

[Figures. He's known enough Calderans to have seen that coming.]

You don't say.

[He remarks dryly, then raises his eyebrows a little.]

Sorry, I'm trying to figure out if that was a joke. Little help?

[greyerrant]

It was an attempt at a joke. Forgive me if I didn't deliver it properly, i'm not often given to levity.

[ He gives Harry the flattest look. ]
