[It's been two weeks and a lot of trouble for young Emil, navigating with his blindfold. The unfamiliar setting was hard enough, but with rain on top of that? At least he'd accepted the Sableye after a few days and had time in Cherrygrove to unwind. He's gone out again now, though the image he shares with the network shows him indoors and in dry clothes -- he'd had to change back into the clothes he'd arrived in, soaked as he was from the day's rain. It's a little blurry, definitely not something that would win awards, but it's still enough to show a Meowth egg settled in his lap and that was the idea. Well, that and testing out the 'gear's functions to see if he'd gotten it right and he really could attach a picture to his voice.]

So this...really isn't a mistake? This egg will really hatch into a cat?

[He makes a thoughtful noise, switching to a tone that sounds more like he's musing to himself.]

I don't really know how many things come out of eggs back home -- like this, I mean, with a shell and everything. Definitely not cats. But I look forward to it, if it's true!

[There's the soft clatter of glass being set onto a table before the feed abruptly cuts out, but it's only an hour or so before another picture shows up with the same voice accompanying it -- softer though, warmer. The photo shows the young boy eating and laughing with an older man that some might be able to recognize as Mr. Pokemon. Well, honestly the image is mostly table, like something small had taken the picture instead of another trainer. Emil might not have known Stilzchen was playing with the camera again, but...he's glad he did, if he gets to have this memory to share.]

It's been raining a lot, but...that's okay. People here are really nice. Nicer than I ever expected...

Even the friendly people back home were never this welcoming towards me. Is this just how other worlds are? I wonder... [He seems to remember then that he's not just recording his thoughts for himself and clears his throats.] They did have a good reason, so maybe it's just me. What were your worlds like for you?

[ooc: this is slightly forward dated to the evening, around suppertime!]

[The voice that Emil will hear answering him is soft and friendly, responding with a tone that's clearly fond.]

It will. All Pokemon hatch from eggs, whether they're cats, dogs, or something else entirely. It's certainly a little strange, and hard to get used to at first...but I'm sure your egg will hatch for you soon enough and you will be able to see for yourself.

I never understood the egg thing, either. I was all "I thought only chickens came from eggs!" and then POOF! Mine did not bearcome a chicken at all. It's nuts! I just don't get it.

[But before Teddie can rattle on any further about his lack of understanding basic biology, he finds himself kind of...stuck on something.]

...Why weren't people nice to you?

Everything comes out of eggs here. Animals, rock animals, ghosts...

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the humans here came out of eggs too.

[Rossiu can't really answer the first part of the video, because cats hatching from eggs still sort of weirds him out. Instead he'll respond to the second. Rossiu's sitting in a Pokémon Center and he's... trying to smile when the feed turns on. He's still pretty bad at it though.]

The people here are very nice, aren't they? I wasn't expecting anything like this when I first showed up. Everyone's been very courteous and helpful... it's definitely a nice change.

[The humans were nice back home! They're just... very loud and shounen.]

I've heard that I come from a very strange world, but hearing stories about everyone else's worlds has always fascinated me. If I tell you where I'm from, will you tell me a little about your world?

Mmm, yeah, I noticed that too when I came here. Everyone here's nice. [Henry grins.] But then, I also found out the other day that apparently my entire home country was full of jerks, so... [SHRUG]

Maybe there are just some homeworlds that really, really suck.

Oh! To answer your question from before, eggs hatching into mammals is just kind of a thing that happens here. It seems weird, but you get used to it in time. [Henry holds up a pale grey Espurr egg of his own.] See this one? This is gonna hatch into a Pokémon too, soon.

The weather here can be...unpredictable sometimes, it's true. Around this time last year, there was a massive storm; hopefully the rain this year will stay just rain.

...It's good, that people have been being kind to you.
