[Cecil looks particularly happy today. Is it because of the absence of angry bugs? The arrival of three new castmates? Rosa's presence? All of the above?]

Now that those bugs are gone, I can finally send the eggs I promised. I apologize for the delay. As compensation, I've added a homemade egg pillow to each of the packages.

Thank you Cecil; and actually, would you happen to have any extra egg pillows? {A nervous laugh, and her mouth twists a little before she goes on.}

I seem to have come into possession of quite a few eggs. {The camera pans down, and there's a Furret curled around a mismatch of five different eggs.} Hanatarou can't stay out of their ball forever, and the only fire-type I own isn't the type to incubate, so... Would I be able to buy five more off you?

{Never mind that one of the eggs is so light it seems to be floating, and another is nearly a foot high.}

[puppet_paladin]

Of course! I have a few left, I can certainly send five to you. ...Unless you terribly mind small drops of dried blood on the fabric.

{This is the face of a relieved parent.} No, not at all! Thank you, it just makes my life so much easier.

How did you find the time to adopt so many? Even two demand nearly too much attention, as their hatching day approaches.

[Video]

[used_glare]

I, uh, well. I can't bear the thought of eggs going to unwanted homes and so, uh - that's how I've ended up with so many eggs. {Yes, Nanao, you didn't think about this, did you.}

They must be quite happy to have found a trainer who cares so much for their well-being.

[Video]

[used_glare]

I.... suppose so. No one seems to have complained about my training of them, so far.

[Video]

[puppet_paladin]

They definitely are happy, then. If they had reasons to complain, they would have quickly let you know.

[Video]

[used_glare]

That's reassuring. {Sigh of relief} Cecil, I'd like to ask a question: were you designated a "Breeder" when you arrived here, or did your Pokemon force your hand?

...Gogo the Ditto is the bane of Ecruteak and every location even remotely close by. Trainers tremble at the mere mention of its name.

[Does that answer her question?]

[Video]

[used_glare]

{She can't help it - she giggles.}

I see. If it helps, I had a similar experience with Casanova. Hir name is entirely appropriate.

[Video]

[puppet_paladin]

I've not yet heard of a Ditto that does not appreciate everyone else's charms. I'm starting to believe they do not exist.

[Video]

[used_glare]

Casanova at least acted like zhe was repentant. Before I boxed hir. The entire species seems to exist merely as a blot on society, sometimes.

[puppet_paladin]

Yet most breeders need their help for their trade, and thus find themselves obtaining them and bringing them to cities where they can find more victims.

[Video]

[used_glare]

That is, sadly, the case. I am honestly regretting it a little now, but I don't want to release hir, you know, in case I ever need to breed more eggs.

[puppet_paladin]

It should be fine, as long as you keep an eye on it. ...Though a leash might be a good idea.
