timelymaid | ninth bubble; video/action for goldenrod.

[ Aradia's pretty clearly somewhere busy - the breeding convention, day 2, as it happens! - when the image goes live. She'll just give the gear a bright smile before starting up. ]

Hey! I've got...three things? Yes, three things today! The first one is pretty obvious. [ But she'll spin the gear around to catch sight of the booth and eggs and her compatriots at the booth at that point in time. ] We've got a booth at the convention, and if you're not in Goldenrod, I've attached a list of what we have to offer! Just in case.

The second one is sort of related! I don't know how many of you know Sollux Captor - tallish, likes blue and red, he types with double I's and swaps twos for s's - but! As it happens he's also really, really good at coding! And because he's also really helpful when he wants to be, he's made a pretty nifty application, which you can download at the end of this transmission. To summarize it, it's a spreadsheet-type thing that allows you to enter your roster - or at least anyone you feel like entering - so anyone else with that application could view it. I admittedly just asked him to make it for me so I'd have an easier time keeping track of ours, but I mentioned it to a few people who seemed interested, so why not? There was a lot of collaboration for this convention, if booths are anything to go by, so I think some people might find it useful!

Entering your roster doesn't mean you have to agree to anything! But if by chance someone has a pokemon you'd like to do something with and you're far away from one another, the lovely Saber - she runs the Breeding Centre! - has agreed to let people use the BC as a staging area. And that's it on that count!

My third thing is rather a long way off - Francis and I were talking about parades, and how it would be neat if there were any, but since there's absolutely no way we'd pull it off in a short period of time, we were considering trying to do something for next Christmas? Oh, and in Kanto and Johto both. Basically we're at the stage of asking people what they think, and asking if anyone wants to be involved!

And I think that's - oh, no, wait! A belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Ren Jinguji - his birthday was on Valentine's! And everyone should be sure to say happy birthday to Sollux on the twenty-second! And that's really all I have, so I'll end this here.

[ Breeding applications + eggs. ]

[He'd answer with a video or at least an audio, but under circumstances he's currently in he's really can't. So you get a simple text instead.]

Thank you. I hope you had a nice Valentine's Day, Aradia.

i did!
and i hope you did as well
in addition to your birthday :)

It was different, at least, but that was to be expected, since we're in a different world. Not in a bad way completely.

yes the customs here are quite charming though arent they
its sort of like
a mix
because everyone is a mix

Yes. There are people from so many different world so there has to be some mixed customs. It's a nice thing, though. You rarely get to experience different customs back at home.

i certainly have never experienced most of these!!!
im learning a lot just from being here

which is a good thing i think

I think so too. New experiences make us grow as people... or so they say.

A breeding center?

Yes! There are branches in Kanto and Johto both - the Johto one is in Goldenrod - but you can call them from anywhere, and they deliver eggs to other places. Here, I'll send you their contact information.

[ And she does so. ]

It's actually a really useful resource - some of the eggs offered there are pokemon who you can't find in the wild except in certain areas, or not at all. And there's a cool new trainer deal, for one free egg, which is definitely worth checking out!

[ Brb reading the information. This was actually very useful. Unlike Piper, he didn't have much of a childhood so he didn't know much about this game. ]

Wow ... this is --- really great. Thanks ...

No problem! This place can be a little confusing when you're settling in, you know? So just let me know if you have any questions, and I'll do my best to answer them!

This will take some time to get used to. I'll be alright. I am pretty good at learning some things on my own ... but I appreciate the offer.

What was your name again?

Aradia Megido!

-so this convention is offering things to people out of town, as well?

[Don't mind her distracted face. She's perusing the list of eggs Aradia put up.]

Yep! A lot of the other booths are doing the same thing, offering things to people further out. It's just practical, really.

[ She doesn't mind in the least! ]

That makes sense, with trainers spread so far apart from each other.

...does it take any special experience to raise a Pokemon from hatching?

I don't believe so. At least, nothing that you can't gain on the go! It helps to have an egg sling to carry the egg around - I can include that, if need be! - and that can be helpful for some of the smaller hatchlings, too.

There's diets to look at, of course, and training them up - but I think it's pretty rewarding overall.

Oh good- And I would appreciate the sling, thank you! Hopefully I'll have time for them to grow, since we'll be in Viridian City for a while, at least. Though I'm not certain how small they would be.

I was looking at the "Swablu" and "Eevee" eggs?

Those pokemon are fairly small! Swablu like to sit on heads, by the way - Eevee are, oh, the size of a small barkbeast? ...Er, dog.

[ Sorry, Menma is... pretty bad at listening to long speeches, so she'll look a little sleepy when she finally replies, understanding only a part of what was said. ]

Parade? ... Something about a parade, uu-?

[ It's okay, Menma, Aradia was rambling. And that was the most important part, anyway! ]

Yes! For Christmas this year. Want to help us plan one?

But Christmas just passed...! Are you sure we can do that again so soon?

[ Blink blink, she rubs one eye. ]

Well, it would be for this December! ...So a ways off, but planning a good parade probably takes time, don't you think?

It takes uh... ten... months to prepare all that?

[ she had to count them on her fingers before saying it. ]

Well...I'd say two months is more spot-on, but it's definitely better to start preparing earlier, so people have enough warning!
