[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 guess you'll be moving on again soon, huh?

[Jinxie's been laying off on hassling her about that quite so much lately, but she is still a little sad about it. She's grown fond of Eu in recent weeks.]

[Eu nods. She can't stay here indefinitely.]

Yes.

I wanted to give you something before you go.

[There's a head tilt before she jots down her next message.]

?

[Jinxie reaches into her sleeve, pulling out a small rectangular slip of paper with some stylized symbols written on it in ink and handing it toward Eucliwood. She's been staying with Jinxie long enough that it's probably pretty recognizable for what it is - a charm.]

Here. I want you to have this.

[She does recognize it for what it is. That doesn't mean she understands why Jinxie is offering her one.]

Why?

For protection. It's a Barrier charm.

How does it work?

All you have to do is hold it in your hand and concentrate for a moment. It's only good for one use, but I thought it might help keep you safe once you're out traveling again.
