bamfsecretary | twenty-fifth form; Happy Tanabata + Git Yer Eggs Here~! {Video/Action for Ecruteak} (dated 07/07)

{When the feed clicks on, it's obviously been done by accident, as the first thing you'll see is a shot of Nanao's face - but she has a thick strip of cloth across her eyes as a blindfold, and she's talking to herself.}

Well, at least the nausea's gone. And the headache's receded to a tolerable level. And I can mostly remember things. {She grimaces.} It's a pity my balance is still off, but at least that's not as bad as the light sensitivity. I really don't like that.

{She shifts about, and cocks her head to the side, listening to the sounds of the crowded streets, and she frowns a little.} I wonder what's going on... Well, no better time to ask.

Excuse me! {She calls out into the street, and miraculously, some poor man with blonde hair and a lovely purple yukata responds. Those who've faced the Ecruteak Gym might know him - it's the gym leader, Morty.}

Yes, ma'am, can I help you?

Thank you. Ah, I was wondering, what is the occasion today? There is so much hubbub, and since, well... {She gestures to her face, and smiles.}

No, that's no problem. Today is Tanabata - we always have a few street vendors out on this day.

R-really? Well, thank you, sir. {Her surprised expression melts into a kind smile.} May your wish come true.

And yours, ma'am. Good day.

Good day, sir. {He bows politely, she does too out of instinct, and he wanders off, and Nanao is left alone, sitting on the verandah of the Inn.}

Tanabata already..? Well now, that's a surprise. Another year has passed, and I've survived it.... just. {She raises a hand to her mouth, and chokes back a sob.} T-to think.... N-no. I'm not going back there. I'm stronger than that.

{She sniffs, straightens her spine, and brushes down the lap of her pale blue yukata.} I'm one hundred and thirty-seven today. I think that I shall enjoy my birthday this year, instead of hiding inside.

{She stands gingerly, reaching out a hand to the nearby wall of the Inn for support. Slowly, moving one foot at a time, she makes it back to her darkened room, the door thumps gently against something. Frowning, she slips inside, and removes the blindfold, letting her eyes adjust. And then she gasps.}

I - I - what. How did this - how are there so many - ? {She is, of course, talking about eggs, which are all over the room. Her Alakazam and Furret freeze, in the middle of putting an egg onto the bed.} I - I don't even know. Wow. Um.

What a birthday present. {Annnd the feed finally times out.}

{{OOC: For those that claimed eggs here, this is the place to ICly collect them! Video replies will come while she's still in her room, but she'll be wandering the streets with her blindfold, staff and seeing-eye-Riolu later on if that works for you, or she can just be. Hanging around the Inn some more. And, last but not least, HAPPY TANABATA, GUYS!}}

[Winry is staring at you, Shuuhei. You're absolutely adorable!]

Practice makes perfect~, I guess that's what they say.

He doesn't look like a joke at all. [Sorry, there are no Christmas, Valentine's Day and other funny days in her canon, so Winry misses the joke here.] Uh huh, he makes me miss puppies.

That it is, that it is.

Well, the way he acts can be misleading... {Dat statement...}

I actually have too many eggs at the moment, and I'm pretty sure I have several Houndour eggs, too.... Would you like to buy one?

Misleading?

[Oh. OH! Is this Winry's lucky day or what?]

Ummm... Sounds great, and I'd love to but I guess it depends on money. So, how much does one egg cost?

He's really quite mischievous.

{Leaning out of the camera view for a second- and then back, holding a black and red egg, with a off-white skull pattern towards the top.}

Well... how does P600 sound? I think these come with an egg move, as well.

[Winry giggles. He's still very adorable.

Oh, lookie, the egg looks almost like Ed's badass style~. She feels like facepalming at the thought but she won't.]

P600 sounds great! ...What's an egg move?

{They do look rather odd, don't they.}

An egg move is an inherited move that comes from another compatible Pokemon in the same egg group.

It's basically a move that they wouldn't have had access to otherwise, and they are often quite useful.

Ah, thanks for telling me that. [She's kind of new here~.] Sounds great.

You're welcome - I'm a Breeder, it's my job to know these kind of things.

[A Breeder~ it's like a magic work. See, Winry would love to be one too but she woke up in the wrong town. Nothing's going to stop her from being like a breeder, though she loves the Pokemon Centers too! She might be a little jealous in this comment.]

Breeding pokemon sounds nice...

{Well, you know, you don't have to stick to your assigned path.}

It can be - and new-hatched Pokemon are absolutely adorable.

If you'd like, I can send you a copy of the Breeder's Manual. It has a lot of information in it about breeding - as the title says.

[She won't! And we'll pretend that the one word there was 'word', not 'work' and swear that it's just this girl's workaholic mind doing a typo like that.]

Mmm, all new born things - hatched or anything else - are always absolutely adorable.

You could? I'd really love to have it!

{Aww, Winry, y u so cute? Smiling broadly.}

I'll throw a copy in for free, how does that sound?

[Because she just is. And she's smiling broadly too.]

It sounds almost like a wonderful dream come true. We can also forget the word 'almost' there.

{Oh, Winry, I think you just went up a rank.}

Wonderful. Where are you at the moment?

[♥ You're going up on her ranks too.

Oh... That question.]

Mahogany.

Well, I can send my Skarmory over to you with the egg, how does that sound?

Sounds great!

Well, you should be seeing him in the next few hours, Miss Winry.

Take care of the egg, won't you?

Okay~. I'll be outside waiting for them then, miss...?

I promise I'll take wonderful care of it.[♥]

Ise Nanao.

Thank you - and he'll love you in return. { ;w; }

It'll be a he? ...He or she, I'll love my Houndour every day too.♥ Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~ very much for the egg [in advance]! I promise I'll let you know how the Houndour is doing every now and then!

I'm just generalising, Miss Winry.

And thank you for that, I'm sure Shuuhei will appreciate the updates.
