Eighth Step -> Video/Action for Repliku's inn room

[falseshore]

[Today, the subject of this video is a very confused and somewhat irritated Evan. He woke up less than an hour ago, and his room was carpeted in eggs. Pretty much literally. He was expecting a batch of them, but he was not expecting more than fifty.

That's the only thing that the video shows, the carpet of eggs. Evan's voice is coming from off-camera.]

There are eggs all over the floor and I don't even know what half of these are even supposed to be. Tch.

[And then the video shuts off.]

[The second video comes on an hour later, and shows two piles of eggs, one slightly bigger than the other. There's an open notepad balanced on a couple of them, and you might be able to read what's written on the page--if you could read Evan's handwriting, that is.]

There's no way I'm taking care of all of these, so I'm selling them to whoever's interested. The smaller batch is Tenten's, and I'm attaching both of our price and movelists. Ask her about buying her eggs.

[That notebook stays sitting there, long enough for the text to be easily read, before it's snapped up into the air and a certain ninja-lacking-her-forehead-protector drops into view, obviously proud of herself.]

Evan's not here right now, but fortunately for him, he has a cute secretary to take his calls. And sell his things.

[She offers the camera a quick wink and a grin -- eggs!]

[The feed shows Dustin holding a Pokemon Egg while Kelly the Sandile and Eggs the Exeggcute were looking after the other one.]

Ooh. That Ferroseed egg looks pretty cool Tenten. Think we could have make a deal?

[video, Tenten's gear]

[usedswift]

Dustin-san.

[A quick smile, then she leans in, quirking an eyebrow.]

What've you got?

[video, Tenten's gear]

[usedearthquake]

See right now I'm short on cash, but I figure a trade would be good. If at some point later I can give you a Sandile or Exeggcute egg and in return I get the Ferroseed egg. How about it?

[video, Tenten's gear]

[usedswift]

...One sec.

[Calling up both of those on the Pokédex and biting her lip in concentration as she reads.]

...Yeah, sounds fair! The Ferroseeds don't have any egg moves, but they're good as throwing weapons in a pinch.

[She beckons, and her own Ferroseed, Renkon, drifts over with a curious, metal-on-metal noise.]

As long as you don't mind hurling around forty pounds of solid metal.

[ video ]

[gracefall]

Oh, oh! Can I get a, um, skarmory? [ waving arms and flailing here! she's wanted a pointy bird for a while. ]

[ video ]

[falseshore]

Yeah. It'll be...P750 for one.

['Scuse him while he goes to locate a Skarmory egg and separate it from the pile.]

[ video ]

[gracefall]

Oh, that's great! [ she's not going over budget! ]

How long do they take to hatch?

[video]

[aburame]

[Apparently proper phone etiquette is something the ninja have yet to work out. Or perhaps it's just Shino. Either way, he's doing the thing where the video is switch on, but he doesn't... actually... speak yet.

You two seem to have been keeping busy in his absence.]

[video]

[falseshore]

[Hey, at least Rep planned half of the eggs, and they weren't a surprise like last time. Also he's staring at his side of the video call in confusion--is there supposed to be sound?]

...Is this thing broken again?

[video]

[aburame]

[Brows furrow. Oi, Rep, why would it be broken? It's not like not-speaking is anything new from Shino.]

There does not seem to be anything wrong from my end, at least.

[video]

[believeit]

What sort've eggs have you guys got? Anything interesting?

[video]

[falseshore]

[This face, Naruto. This face forever.]

...Depends on what you consider 'interesting'. What type do you like?

[video]

[believeit]

I don't really have a favourite type or anything yet, I just like ones that look interesting, or I can afford to buy.

[video]

[yoctogram]

One of the Meowth eggs, iff it's not a dog.

[iff being maths shorthand for if and only if welcome to Sho talk.]

Shouldn't be, but who knows with Pokemon.

[video]

[falseshore]

I'm pretty sure it's a cat.

[We're ignoring the fact that the mother is a horse.]

I'll take it back and...return your money if you don't want it later. The egg's P800.

[video]

[yoctogram]

[He fiddles with his Gear for a moment]

P800 sent. Thanks for the offer.

[video]

[artofthestress]

Exactly what is a ... ponyta? It can't be anything like a pony... can it?

[video]

[falseshore]

It, uh...wait a second.

[The video is still on, but he's covered the microphone with one hand. He's never seen a real pony, so he has to relay the question to someone else. He and the audio return properly soon.]

Yeah, it's like a pony...if it were on fire.

[video]

[artofthestress]

Why in Equestria would you set a pony on fire?!

[Video - Evan]

[usedstrategy]

[Hm... When the feed clicks on, it shows an extreme close-up of the blue-eyed dark-skinned boy adjusting the gear. It doesn't take him long to pull back and clear his throat.]

Okay I think I've got this working... Uh, how do I buy an egg from you and what do you recommend?

[The chances that he'd actually go with his recommendation were slim, but it couldn't hurt to hear it.]

[Video - Evan]

[falseshore]

[Hey there dude he's never met.]

You pick the egg you want to buy and I'll send it to you. I don't care how you pay, as long as it happens sometime. I recommend either a Houndour or a Ponyta...they're more useful than the others. But the birds know Fly...

[He trails off, shrugging.]

[Video - Evan]

[usedstrategy]

[Hello person he's never met either!]

Why wouldn't birds know how to fly? Or is that a special move?

[Video - Tenten]

[usedstrategy]

I guess the spiky egg thing looks pretty cool. How much are those going for?

[He's going to have to look up just what that one is, but these pokémon things are all pretty fascinating. Still, limited budget... He'd have to make sure that he's not caught by Katara too. He'd still have enough money to feed himself and his pokémon but still.]

[Video]

[usedswift]

[Tenten whistles, summoning over her Ferroseed to drop contentedly -- albeit carefully -- into her lap.]

You mean these guys? Yeah, they're pretty great! Even if they've got no egg moves, they're fantastic throwing weapons.

[Even if they're forty pounds of solid spiky steel...]

P500, since they've got no egg moves.

[Video]

[usedstrategy]

Weapons? Uh... That looks more like an animal to me.

[Just blinking at it. Granted, it's an egg with eyes and spikes, but still!

Wait, P500?

His face drops a little before he visibly shuffles through his wallet for the money. Uh, he really shouldn't spend that much...]

... How about P250?
