chasingstorms | [Serah Farron - 003 Video/Action] Some chapters are happier than others (Olivine)

[Private Video - Lacus]
Hey, sorry it's been a while. Things got really crazy for a bit there. I wanted to tell you about Snow though, he evolved!

[She turns the feed to focus on an Espeon as way of explanation, Lacus might notice that he's more or less curled around what could only be two eevee eggs.]

I haven't talked to you in a while so I just wanted to make sure you were okay after everything that happened.

[Video - Unfiltered]

I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, after all it seems to happen pretty often, but we've got eggs!

[She's seriously happy about this, because as far as she's concerned this is all so amazing. Snow's going to have babies! It's nice to have some good news for once after...everything that's happened lately]

I can't wait for them to hatch, so I can meet them.

[There's a quiet 'hmph' in the background, and the camera shifts to show Lightning, still on her bed, with an Absol in her lap. After all that's happened? ...yeah she's grumpy and the eggs didn't help matters much.]

You know we can't keep them, Serah. It'll be easier to just give them away now, before you get attached.

[The feed doesn't change angles as Serah answers her older sister.]

Of course I'm going to keep them. I can't give Snow's kids away. Look at him!

[The feed does change then, to show an Espeon who's curled up near two eggs protectively.]

We can't separate them, Lightning! We just can't!

And what do you intend to do with two Eevees? It's not like we've got the room to keep them, and your team is already full. Will you just start not paying attention to the others?

[Grumpy, cranky...just noticing the gear is still on and she makes a "tch" sound.]

Turn that off. We're not having this conversation for everyone to hear.

[And so without any further comment from Serah, the feed goes dark. Sorry everyone! Responses might be Serah, Lightning, or both depending.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Linefacing so hard. While Cecil's humor would be appreciated under normal circumstances, this is not a normal circumstance.]

If she can't come up with a valid plan, it may just come to that.

Why? Most people manage larger parties easily enough, and Eevees would give her the opportunity to build a team with a good variety of types.

[Of course, this is coming from a man who has a lot of experience travelling with young children.]

[Experience that Serah doesn't have. Yet. Lightning can't see this ending well, which is why she's not backing down. ...That and her nerves are shot, which makes her very cranky.]

Only if she learns what she's doing before something catches her off guard. Besides, it's harder to keep a larger team ready for what this place throws at us, and it's not like hatchlings are easy to deal with.

How many young Pokémon does she already have in her team? If most are already older, they could help raising them. As long as they have the right personalities, of course.

[Which is admittedly far from a sure thing.]

I've got five that I caught myself, my starter, and then four I've hatched from eggs since I've been here.

[As if on queue, a smoochum takes that time to crawl up into Searh's lap with a crooned "Smoooo" that causes her to smile.]

She's my youngest, hatched during that big storm.

[Poor thing, that's not a good intro to the world.]

That's a very excellent start, I must say.

[...Start might not be the word to use, Cecil.]

A storm baby? I hope it's not left her with a fear of lightning.

[...Worst joke ever, Cecil.]

Don't give her any ideas, Cecil.

[Said in a tone flatter than flat. Whether she's talking about the use of "start" or that terrible joke is hard to say, but she isn't pleased.]

Of course not. They'd be terrible ideas. Sorry.

[He does look sorry, if it helps any.]
