[action] [NEW BARK TOWN]

[imthe_shit]

Hnn...

[Snake is looking rather worried. His mysterious egg is wiggling around a lot more than usual lately. He'd been trying to take good care of it, such as letting it stay close to his body, even when he slept, he'd also polish it daily.... or fall asleep while doing it. But he was really trying to at least have it hatch... If he couldn't eat it, it might as well entertain him somehow.


But now he had a feeling it was hatching. And oh god. How he wished he'd just eaten it. It was now that he realized he was going to have to look after a baby animal. He didn't worry too much about Solid, Liquid and Solidus, the three chickens on the Nomad, mostly because Sunny and Otacon took care of them. But this... this egg was his responsibil-- oh god. What was that sound.]

... Hahhnn... [Grabs the egg and picks it up, looking about worriedly. He could hear a crackling sound. Nononono, don't hatch don't hatch don't hatch-- oh god it was hatching. Snake's hands were shaking, half in anticipation, half in OH GOD WHAT DO I DO. He stepped over to the bed, and sat there, holding the egg before him, just staring at it... And suddenly...

POP.

The top of the egg popped off, surprising Snake enough to cause a large, red exclamation mark to appear above his head, along with a ZING like sound. His eyes were wider now, and he swallows nervously... But it doesn't end there. Little feet and arms also emerge from the egg, but the rest of the egg doesn't seem to be coming off...

What in the...

[And then, there's a face looking at him, with adorable beady eyes and a confused look. Snake's face is white as a sheet, and he just stares back, mustache twitching somewhat. I-it was... c-cute...??]

Toge...briiii?

[..............................]

.... Uh, hi. [Well, this was going to be fun.]


[ooc: Shelly can respond here and anyone else who happens to enter Snake's borrowed house in New Bark Town. :3]

[Looks at Hayate.]

Y-yeah... But it's still in its egg... What the... hell is it? [Looks back... the tiny Togepi is reaching for Snake's mustache, and giggling.]

[combat_butler]

I-- Don't know the proper name for it, but a girl I met had one of these as well... *Coming a bit closer to have a good look*

From what I could tell, I think it's... supposed to stay in the egg like that.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... ...

[.....Togepi is pulling on his 'stache.]

....hhnnn.... [Looks at Hayate, distressed.] What... do I do?

[combat_butler]

Well... *Watching it tug at the awesome 'stache* It already seems to like you, so why not just play with it a bit? That's as good a way as any to make a good first impression.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Play with it? [Pulls it away from his mustache.] I don't "play". Do I look like a babysitter??

[combat_butler]

Ah-- Definitely not... But you don't need to be a babysitter to play with it. Just try something simple, like lifting it high above your head.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

.... [Is already feeling embarrassed. He looks at the Togepi, which is wiggling its arms and giggling at him. He sighs and lifts it up, staring at it with creased eyebrows. The Togepi blinks and squeals excitedly.]

....... Huh.

[combat_butler]

See? Simple, yet super effective!

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... [doesn't understand that logic yet.]

Briii briiii! [Snake looks at it and brings it back down... before holding it up again... and gets an encore of giggles.]

[combat_butler]

Hehe... Looks like it's enjoying itself. Maybe you're secretly a natural at this?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... Maybe. [Thinks about Sunny and sighs... Hmm. Sunny. Maybe...]

... Is it a boy or a girl?

[combat_butler]

--hm? *looking it over* I'm... Not really sure. I think the PokeGear could tell you if you use the Pokedex function... Do you want me to check for you?

AAAGH SORRY. Accursed timezones...

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

[He's not sure what to comment on first: the magically appearing exclamation mark or the cute... little... thing that just hatched from the egg.]

... These Pokémon are... strange little creatures. [Also, Weasley is poking Togepi. Poke poke poke.]

lmao it's okay XD I'm in an awkward time zone

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[Holds Togepi away from Weasley and frowns.]

Yeah. I'm not sure about them...

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

I will try to make sure Weasley does not hurt your Pokémon, don't worry.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... [Nods.] All right.

[Realizes... he doesn't remember this guy's name. He blinks, and rubs the back of his head, trying to see if he can remember it...]

Hnn...

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

[A penny for your thoughts, sir.]

Is something bothering you?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... I, uh... Don't know if I got your name...

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

... Oh. [He smiles politely. Also, yes, he has yet to realise this is a dumb alias.] I am John Doe.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... [Eyes him suspiciously.]

John Doe.

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

... [Raises an eyebrow.]

And you are...?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... Call me Snake.

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

[He sounds... vaguely amused.]

Mr. Snake it is, then. At least until we know we can trust each other.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[even Sunny calls him Snake.]

... Trust.
