[WELL IF IT ISN'T A NICE DAY IN ECRUTEAK CITY! The feed opens up to Kayneth bedecked in a fancy short-sleeved shirt and sitting in a lawnchair with a glass of champagne, a (finally) nice and well maintained lawn in view... though, there are some spots where it looks like grass and flowerbeds and whatnot have only been put in recently.

Funny, that!

Well, let's not dwell on Kayneth's gardening history for now, for he is, of course, going to talk at the camera, because of course he is.]

Well, it's certainly been an odd few weeks, hasn't it? Some things far more odd than others, of course, but that's simply par for the course here. Nevertheless, it does seem like the excitement has calmed down a bit, so I believe it's a perfect time for me to do some research.

I would, of course, ask you all for assistance in this, but it's not as though you'll go uncompensated for it.

[He gestures at the camera with his free hand, and it pans over to a fairly large pile of eggs, with a sign listing prices and species on it.]

I have quite a few Pokemon eggs on my hands, you see, and I'm quite interested in the results of my current breeding pairs. If you're willing to give me a brief report on the Pokemon you've bought once they hatch, then I'm willing to let you name your price --- to a certain extent, of course.

Furthermore, I have trained all these Pokemon, so if you'd like advice on what you might be dealing with, I'll be quite happy to provide you with the details.

[...is it intrusive to ask further? Hell, he's a mage, they're bad at feelings.

So he probably won't, because he's at least gained a drop of self awareness. Character development!

He will, however, head over to the pile and pick out the Hoothoot egg he thinks looks the nicest and brings it over.]

Well, it sounds like this one has two admirable Pokemon to live up to. Here's hoping, hm?

[...but no pressure, embryonic owl]

[GO KAYNETH GO. Do that feelings thing!]

Shall I keep in touch about how he or she is doing? Between their natural hatch time and Ringo Fyre's assistance, I doubt it'll be very long before we're seeing this one's handsome feathered face.

Of course! The father is a Psychic-type, and given Hoothoot's propensity for learning moves of that type anyway, I'm very ---

[...and then something clicks.]

Ringo Fyre...? Really?

...You've never been properly acquainted with my roster and their naming scheme, have you.

[It's nothing but puns. THERE ARE SO MANY PUNS.]

The parents of that egg you're adopting are Tux E. Doe and Zamm Boney, for example.

...

I'm not even sure if I should dignify those with a response.

[what on earth has he gotten himself into...]

Oh, don't tell me. You're going to say they're the lowest form of wit, aren't you.

Actually, no. They do, however, require a certain je ne sas quoi so that they aren't...

[...how does he tell the girl he likes he doesn't like her puns...]

Well, it's difficult to explain.
