[When the video comes on, Jinxie's already glancing back and forth like she's about to say something super secret and important.  She sort of is, but it's also pretty benign on the whole.]

Um... so, you know how usually when people have babies, there's a party for the parents to invite their friends and celebrate?  Has anyone ever done something like that for their Pokemon?  I know the breeding center just handles all the eggs and everything, but... what if the mother and the father are two Pokemon you've known for years, and are more like friends of the family?  Would it be silly to have a party to celebrate?  Do you think anyone would want to go to a party like that?

[This could just be Jinxie inviting people she knows to just such a party.  It's hard to tell, with the needlessly furtive way she's going about it.]

[Action]

[Later in the day, Jinxie can be found running errands around the city.  She's got a little cloth pouch hanging around her neck, with a black egg with a white skull on it inside - helping out Dokuro and Shi a little while they get some rest during the day.  She'll be heading for the breeding center to pick up some supplies for the baby-to-be, but she's also looking for some specific people today: Quinn, Melaka, Eucliwood, Blackquill, and Rise in particular.]

I don't see why they wouldn't want to. They're two pokémon you care about and they have a child on the way. It sounds like a good reason to celebrate to me.

[somnambulatory]

I thought so too. The egg's due to hatch in about a week, so I was hoping to have a big celebration for them.

voice

[globetrotting]

Who are the lucky couple? Do you know what the child will be?

voice

[somnambulatory]

My cousin Maya and I have both had Duskulls ever since we were little. It's their baby. We sent them to the breeding center a few weeks ago because we thought it was time they stopped dancing around their feelings for each other.

voice

[globetrotting]

That's definitely one way to do it. Sounds like it worked, too. I hope you all have a fun time!

voice

[somnambulatory]

If we do have a party for them, would you like to come?

voice

[globetrotting]

Oh! Are you sure that would be okay?

voice

[somnambulatory]

I don't see why not.

[globetrotting]

Well, if you're okay with it. And your pokémon too...

Oh, let me introduce myself. [ And she swaps over to video, showing her face. ]

I'm Blue. It's nice to meet you! And I would love to be part of your party.

[somnambulatory]

Nice to meet you, Blue. I'm Jinxie.

[globetrotting]

Is there anything I could bring as a gift? I'm not sure what ghost pokémon usually like.

If he turns out like the other ones in my neighborhood, he'll like to play tricks on people.

video

[globetrotting]

Hmm, I don't know if I can really offer a trick, but I'll see what I can find.

video

[somnambulatory]

Maybe just a toy or something to play with.

video

[globetrotting]

Oh, now that I can get!

video

[somnambulatory]

I'll see you at the party, then.

video

[globetrotting]

Oh, yes! Will you let me know where it is and that when it's decided?

video

[somnambulatory]

Oh. Right. It'll be in the Kurain neighborhood, near the northwest wall of the city.

[Which has a bit of a reputation around the city for being haunted.]
