[True to her word to several by this point, Heather's almost back to Violet. Her end of the line has been oddly silent for the past few days except for a few snarky remarks or other brief conversations, and that's largely due to her... well... unexpected traveling situation. But she's dealing! It's okay. She's got this. Really

Oh? What is it?

[foolishwren]

Can't tell yet. It's cracking, though...!

[leafking]

Do let me know when it finally comes out. I'm rather curious.

[It's awhile before he gets a reply, but he does eventually.]

DUDE, IT WAS A DEER!!

[stupidera]

[ He's just going to watch, hoping that it's either something cool or something super lame ]

Do all eggs take this long to hatch?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

The others I had didn't, but this one is much bigger...

[The egg's wiggling back and forth-- a few cracks have appeared in the top.]

[Video]

[stupidera]

I guess that makes sense.

[ His eyes are pretty much fixed on the egg now. Oh the tension. ]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

[The egg continues to wiggle for... quite some time actually. In the background there's voices, Heather's talking to other people who are watching, the people with her are asking questions, etc-- but finally, there's a few loud SNAPS and the egg breaks apart enough to let out a-- ..... deer. A wet baby deer.]

......... oh my god.

[CUE PROLONGED SQUEALY GIRL FIT. ... She sure hoped it wouldn't be as disappointing as the Magikarp.]

Can you see it okay?!

It's totally hatching, Rise. This is amazing.

[ video ]

[restardom]

Mm, I can see it fine!

[ barely withholding a squeal herself. ] This is so exciting!! And by the way it's cracking, it should be hatching any minute now!

[ video ]

[foolishwren]

I've been keeping it in my bag with Claudy, I guess between the heat and her sitting on it, it worked!

[The egg's cracking more vigorously now, and there's definite sounds of something moving around inside. .... It sounds big. Now Heather's put the Gear down on top of the bag (which seems fortunately absent of owls) and leaned into the screen, herself.]

... But if it's ugly, you are so not allowed to make fun of me.

[bakaitoukid]

What's it hatching into?

[video]

[foolishwren]

A deer!

Ohmygod Kaito it's a little baby deer.

You are jealous. Admit it. You're jealous.

[... He probably isn't. But in Heather's mind, he SHOULD be.]

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

[... yeah he's not really jealous, but he is kinda of. Wtf over a deer hatching from an egg.]

There's a deer coming out of an egg?

[video]

[foolishwren]

YES.

I had a DEER EGG.

This is pretty much the most amazing thing ever to happen, ever.

... In history.

[travelbycandy]

WHAT IS IT?

[Not so loud, buddy.]

[video]

[foolishwren]

[It's okay, Sora. She's kind of being just as loud right back. Between her and all the curious onlookers speaking through her PokeGear, she's probably annoying the hell out of her two traveling companions.]

IT'S A DEER!!

[And sure enough, it is! A LITTLE BABY DEER. WITH A STICKY NOSE. ... THAT IT'S TOUCHING THE SCREEN WITH.]

[video]

[travelbycandy]

[Oh my gosh look at the little baby deeeeer.]

I didn't know there were deer pokémon!

[video]

[foolishwren]

Neither did I! This is the first I've ever seen of one!
