YES I KNOW JASMINE IS IN OLIVINE BUT SHE'S PINCH-HITTING FOR JANINE TODAY ON THE ICON FRONT

[islandshore]

[The feed clicks on to show a living icicle staring into the camera. Nudging it with its face, as if touching it will allow it to pass through somehow. Said icicle is pushed out of the way by another icicle, and then another. They all huddle around the camera, pushing it. Water starts to trickle down the screen and then freezes within seconds.

Cue one disgruntled groan from off-camera.]

Okay, seriously. Did you have to let them into my hotel room? I swear they've dropped the temperature by fifty degrees.

[There's a sad sort of whine before the 'Gear finally returns to its rightful owner.]

You know, compared to those lucha birds, these icicle guys actually make sense. It's Mahogany town-- the place has ice written all over it.

[And speaking of ice, his breath is visible as he speaks, and he might be shivering.]

But I'm not too big on the cold, so I'm more than happy to pass these guys on. The sooner they're gone, the sooner this place heats up.

[ossifragant]

[Look at the pink bird thing look at it! Greed is currently hugging one of them like it is the fluffiest thing he's ever held and the Pokemon doesn't seem to enthusiastic about the attention, actually.]

These things are everywhere in this city! Does anyone want one?

I don't know what kind of bird it is but it kind of smells like a woman's perfume.

[Greed: the world's worst salesman.]

[suncrushed]

Um, hello...t-this is Juniper Woods...

[She rarely ever makes posts on the network, but considering the fact that she's in the area for a swarm, she's making this post to be useful to others. She can be seen outside, currently crouched down by a large mass of Helioptiles; the majority don't seem to notice her presence, but there are a few who are rather curious as to her being there, sniffing at her dress curiously or nudging her body with their noses.]

I-I...have no idea what these are, but...there's a lot of them here by my house. If anyone would like one, I'd be more than happy to give it to you...ah, free of charge, of course. I-I don't really want anything in return... Making someone happy is good enough for me.

[islandshore]

[Are those lizards? ...They definitely look like lizards. Cue Riku eying the camera carefully. Out of all the new species so far, this one's definitely one of the more interesting ones to pop up.]

Sure you don't want something? I could always pass on one of those icicle guys, but I won't push you.

[He shrugs.]

Anyway, I'd be happy to take one of those lizards off your hands.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[Birds! Pink birds everywhere! A group of Spritzee were swarming Veronica as she tries to adjust the video screen, and she seems less than happy about it all by the way she's trying to get them away from her and covering her nose and mouth.]

So, does anyone want more Pokémon? These critters smell a lot when there's a lot of them around. If you don't have anything to trade, that's okay.

[She tries to distance herself from the group of Spritzee, but they're still following her. Fed up, she swats at a few which seems to send the rest into a fury. So, soon enough, the video is obscured by a shower of pink feathers, the only sounds being from several angry birds and Veronica shouting something.]

[suncrushed]

O-Oh, um...i-if you'd like to trade, that's fine... I'm just saying it's not required to trade to receive one...

[She'd feel bad asking for something in return, but she supposes there's a difference between asking for something and someone giving you something willingly.]

But, um...consider it yours. I-I'll head over to the PokéCenter right away...

[She's not too worried with leaving the Helioptiles there in her absence. Her house isn't too far away from the Center, so it shouldn't take that long to trade and come back.]

[killer_sweets]

You know, this place usually calms down after a few weeks or so after something weird happens. It’s week three and there are a bunch of stranger lizards on my room deck.

[Said lizards are dancing, lounging around, and soaking up that sweet sweet sunshine. A daring Lizard has taken found a creative sport of perch on Killua's head.]

As long as things aren’t getting boring fast, who am I to complain? Though I’m more than happy to trade out most of these guys.

[islandshore]

[He waves his hand.]

Well, it's up to you. Just thought I'd offer. In fact, here...

[He turns the camera to show one Bergmite dozing in the bathtub. A living icicle with stubby legs and great big eyes.]

These guys were swarming all over Mahogany a few days back. Kinda cold, but hey, I bet they'll be great around summer.

[lieutenantantichrist]

[Blake is at a cafe table under a patio umbrella.

This takes a moment to see, as he is also under a shifting, cooing, flapping flock of curious little birds. They hop over his arms, nibble curiously at his buttons, and purloin the lettuce from the crust of a sandwich left over on a plate on the table.

Sitting very still, he stares unblinking into the camera as one murrs softly and rubs its head against his cheek. His eyes are portals into a dark place beyond anger.]

Get. These chirpy little assholes. Away from me.

[tentacletrainer]

[She's...she's trying really hard not to laugh. You can see it on her face. Rose did her very best to get all the giggles out before responding but now that she's looking at it again, it's really hard.]

They seem to...r-really like you...pfft...

[lieutenantantichrist]

[Rose gets a baleful glare that can only come from a man with champagne-colored down all over his shoulders.] I didn't ask for any fuckin' pink bird groupies.

Hey! [He yells at one that's tugging at the zipper of his backpack.] Get outta there! Don't you have somebody's car to go crap on?

[He looks back to Rose.] You want one? You want a dozen?

[The nuzzling of his cheek never stops. Never, ever stops.

His eyelid twitches.]

You want some fried drumsticks and a feather boa?

[tentacletrainer]

[Yeah. Sorry. She's laughing.]

While drumsticks do sound good and I could rock a feathered boa in that shade of pink fabulously, I believe I can only offer to take one off your hands for you.

[Come on, it can't be that bad! They really like you! What is better than the love of a Pokemon?]

[lieutenantantichrist]

Yeah, yeah, see how funny it is when you have one of these bastards getting all friendly with your beard.

[The one nestled by his face chirrups. It's all scratchy!]

All right, hold on a second. C'mere you little-

[One's strutting across the table in reach, so he grabs it by its legs.

Turns out they do not like being grabbed by their legs.]

Ow! Son of a bitch!

[He yanks back his pecked hand as the tiny bird flaps off, shrilly tweeting its opinion of him in detail.]

Christ, will one of you bastards hold still?

[Steve happens to hear from the sidewalk nearby, where she is chalking a tiny-bird-sized hopscotch court on the pavement and being no help at all. There's a row of birds taking turns to bounce their way across. She gives the nearest a gentle bop on the head.

Blake's still grabbing uselessly at the little things and snarling profanities when Steve taps him on the knee. She holds out the woozy bird.] -little tweety pieces of-- oh. Thanks.

[He digs out a ball and soon the thing is safely ensconced. He holds it up to the camera.]

There ya go. I'll drop it in the mail as soon as Alfred Hitchcock's fuckin' wet dream dies down some.

[beholdmydemons]

[What the fuck is this...

What...the fuck...is this....



It begins waving more furiously when it spots the camera. >8I!!]

...Is this one of the mystery Pokemon? It's not very....

[...very...uh. One of the Binacle's faces bends down and picks up a length of seaweed in its mouth, popping back up and munching rapidly without taking its eyes off the camera.]

...Does anyone want one?

[captainash]

...Lizards, you say. Maybe my Blastoise would like a fellow cold-blooded friend.

[Or not, considering the types, but poor Ash doesn't know that.]

What would you like in exchange? We haven't really had anything interesting this week in Olivine.

[heartofmetal]

[What a day to go sightseeing in Lavender Town! Here's Ed surrounded by a bunch of ... pumpkin-like Pokémon. How does he get out of this mess? One of them seems especially attached to him.]

There's no end to these random new Pokémon is there.

[It takes a while for Ed to actually get rid of a few in front of the camera. Oh boy.]

Anyone want a... pumpkin?

[in_praetego]

I guess the swarms aren't over yet.

[ He's just settled on a bench in Ecruteak with his little dragonbat flapping around and chasing one of the pumpkaboos around. He'll just turn the gear to these two a moment. ]

Does anyone want one of these pumpkin ones? They look like they come in different sizes, too. I could try to catch one for you.

ooc

[codpieces]

[ can gamzee get one of them, please? (o: ]
