♒ + ♏

Who: Vriska and Eridan
Where: Route 29
When: 3/4, later in the evening.
Summary: Eridan got some pokemon back his first day, and among them was a near-ready to hatch egg. Guess what's hatching.
Rating: pg-13 for language.
Log:

[Why he had agreed to travel with Vriska is beyond him. Maybe it's just better than traveling alone, especially in the cold like this... But god does he kind of want to kick himself for that decision. Let's just say there's a reason they were once kismesisses, and time has not changed that one bit. Though, what he is feeling is more of the wanting to choker her out variety, than something more black.]

[However, they are traveling at least, making their way through the first route, which has proven to be little challenge; the beasts not anything worth mentioning really. Of course the fact he has such overpowered beasts with him tends to help, but he's been relying on his own weaker beast, because relying on them seems far too easy. If he's going to be here, it might as well keep him entertained! And relying on beasts already trained seems boring.]

[Though, among the pile of pokemon, he did receive an egg. And while he was a bit skeptical to accept it, he eventually did. Little did he know the thing was about ready to hatch.]




--What the hell?

[He stops in his tracks, feeling a distinct wiggling in the backpack that was gifted to him on his arrival, which was where he had stored the egg.]

Hold on Wris, somethin's mowin' in my bag.

[With that said, he unzips the bag, peering inside. Making no move to actually get the egg, because who fucking knows what's going to come out of it.]

Oh god. I think it's the egg...

[WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN AN EGG HATCHES????]

[Traveling with Eridan had come down to practicality. She didn't want to, but if he was going to stay in Johto and head the same way as her, it would just be a needless hassle to try to avoid him. Besides, with Aradia warning her on the possibility of ill-timed memory comas, having someone to make sure she didn't die of hypothermia if it happened was a smart idea.]

[Even if Eridan would probably just draw on her face and ruin her hair. But hey, she could always do the same if the reverse were to occur.]

[Such is the arrangement that's left her trudging alongside him, trading barbs here and there, even as she continues to wish her jacket were made of thicker material. It's at least given her the opportunity to train her Joltik a bit. As she's discovered, the little spider isn't useless, even if she is small. A Luxray on backup helps to take care of the rest, though Vriska's sure she'll want to train him, too, once they hit the appropriate areas.]

[They, for the record, does not necessarily include Eridan. He's a shitty travel partner. Speaking of--]


What is it now?

[So comes her answer to his startled state, her own steps stopping after a turn to face him. Her hands prop on her hips, one eyebrow cocked, and she watches him fuss with his bag. They slip off their perch when he states his idea.]

What, the egg? Right now?

[Eyes now widening, she takes a few cautious steps closer.]

You're sure about it? Let me tell you, if that thing hatches you're on your own. Entirely!

[Vriska scowls back, but her focus is short-lived. She can't keep from looking back at his bag. Even Minifang peeks from her mess of hair with a curious jol?]

What do I look like, a lusus? It's not even my egg! Just because we've teamed up - if you really call this a team - doesn't mean I'm gonna raise your pokemon. You raise yours, I'll raise mine, and hopefully neither of us will have strangled the other in our sleep before we get to Cherrygrove.

[Not that it would be fatal, if what she's been told is true. But that's far from mind right now.]

[Did he just--]

[He did.]

[He dropped it.]


Look what you did, dumbass!

[Vriska crouches down, but does not kneel. She's cold enough without snow melting into the knees of her jeans. What should she even do, though? Her hands hover, torn between wanting to check the egg and having no clue in hell how to go about it.]

Are you trying to smash it? God, you're going to be the shittiest pokemon trainer ever. Why did I agree to travel with you?
