[Video]

[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.]

((OOC: Note to self on current charm totals - Barrier x0, Hex x1, Confusion x1, Curse x2))

[ It's not the season for aspear juice anymore, but there's still a season for payapa berries. They come to be with spring and more importantly they thrive on people's positive emotions, and Melaka is now working hard to to and collect a lot of them. She's doing this flanked by Lurks.

So that's her day, searching hard for the cheapest prices ]

[somnambulatory]

[Eventually Jinxie manages to track her down while she's out shopping for deals.]

Hi, Melaka.

[makeitquick]

--Oh, hey there. Speak of the spirits.

[ That's a lame expression-gag.

But she says it with a smile, turning with a somewhat amused expression resting an arm against her hip. Lurks, meanwhile, is carrying a bag of berries ]

[somnambulatory]

[Jinxie smiles, steadying her egg-pouch.]

I'm glad I found you. I wanted to give you something.

[makeitquick]

[ Egg pouch? That makes he glance at that and then look back up at Jinxie's face. ]

You did?

[somnambulatory]

Uh huh. For helping me.

[Jinxie reaches up into her sleeve, pulling out a charm.]

I made some new ones since I evolved. Like I was telling you about before.

[makeitquick]

[ . . . ] Oh yeah, you did mention that, didn't ya? I dunno how much I've helped you though.

[somnambulatory]

You gave Brownie a good home and the training he needed. I couldn't have done that on my own.

[makeitquick]

Well yeah, but we were even 'bout that. I couldn't manage that Screwball guy.

[somnambulatory]

I guess so... but I still want you to have it.

(ooc: She's got Hex, Confusion, and Curse charms left by this point. You can decide which one Melaka gets.)

[makeitquick]

[ Confusion. She tries to res it or make sense of the marks on it but . . . ]

So what's this one for?

[somnambulatory]

That one is for a psychic attack that sometimes leaves your opponent confused.

[makeitquick]

...Come again? What's an attack gotta do with a charm?

[somnambulatory]

Charms can do all kinds of things.

[makeitquick]

Well yeah, but I didn't fig it for being that direct. [ She flips the thing between her fingers, and ] Explain for me?

[somnambulatory]

With this one, you can either slap it on your target's forehead, or throw it at them. Either way, the Confusion attack will come out. All you have to do is concentrate on the charm for a moment before you use it. It's only good for one use, though.

[makeitquick]

[ Wow ... ] I'm gonna guess this was something you picked up from the evolution? Still, this is pretty amazing.

[somnambulatory]

Uh huh. I can do it as many times as I want, but I can make these too for other people to use later. It takes a lot more concentration to store it up like that, though, so I can only make so many.

[makeitquick]

Oh wow... that's amazing. Psychic types can do stuff like that now? I'm in trouble there.

[somnambulatory]

Didn't you learn how to do new Fighting type attacks, though?

[makeitquick]

... Prob? Picked up some new heights I can jump and some new hits I can do. Nothing this flashy, though.

[ Said while having the tag in her hand. That said, it's between the biologically-grafted-to-her-body fingerless leathery "gloves" she has on ]

[somnambulatory]

I don't know if I'd really call it flashy...

[makeitquick]

What, so it's not gonna glow purple and sparklize people if I use this thing?

[somnambulatory]

Well, it does glow a little when it activates...

[makeitquick]

See? So that's some quality dazzling there.

[ And finally she slips the thing into her jacket pocket before reaching out and clapping a hand on Jinxie's shoulder. ... Possibly a bit too hard she did get a little stronger with her own evolution oops ]
