[Let's just ignore Valetine's Day shall we? Tobias has something else he wants to talk about right now anyway. Such as... well. His room seems to have a nice little pile of blankets set up in front of the camera, with a bunch of eggs tucked into them all snug and warm.]

[He turns the camera from them back to himself, smiling.]

So my Pokemon had a bunch of eggs, and I'd been really busy so I didn't get to put up an offer for them. I think some of them aren't the best pairings, but... hopefully people like them anyway? I started this off to get some Munna eggs, and I've got two available for free. I... noticed a lot of people around here come off of some bad situations, and Munna help with nightmares. They don't cure them completely, but they do help.

I've also got some Espurr, Teddiursa, Pidove, Zorua, Amaura, Charmander, and Flaafy eggs available.

And I should mention to the new people who might not know - I consider myself pretty experienced with any sort of bird-like Pokemon, so if you're ever having trouble with one of them let me know. I might be able to help out and figure out what's wrong.

[He waves and shuts off the feed.]

[[ooc; There's still plenty of eggs left on his post!]]

[Ashley has certainly had a surprise in that one of the eggs she's been waiting for hatched today, to- well, a bat with no eyes. One that is currently snuggling up to her, right on her shoulder.

...Yeah that went over swimmingly.
But uh.]

You said you have something that helps with nightmares? Really?

[...she hasn't slept well in a week. Help.]

Yeah. It's not perfect, but Munna do make them less often and less severe a lot of the time.

Then I'll take one. ...It's really free?

They are. The Munna I bred them from isn't the best fighter, but I thought the nightmare thing was more important. What's your name?

Ashley. I don't really care about the fighting, just if they can help with...all that stuff.

I... understand. What town are you in right now?

Cherrygrove. I haven't been here all that long.

That's okay. It's pretty bad weather to be traveling anyway. I'll send it over right away. I don't think they take too long to hatch.

... A lot of people come from bad situations here. Just so you know you're... not alone with the nightmare thing.

That's...somehow weirdly reassuring? [Strained little smile.] Nothing like...knowing others are having just as hard a time getting a good night's sleep.

I gave you mine, what's your name, nightmare-chaser?

At least there's people you can talk to about it?

[Oh. Right.]

I'm Tobias. I've been here a little while, so if you have any questions you can give me a call.

Well I do have one question. ...What's Munna look like? I bought, um, this guy [The snuggly Zubat] without knowing that and he...kind of surprised me.

[She glosses over the idea of talking to someone else; despite the assurance that some would, she still doesn't know how many people would believe her.]

Oh, sure. Hey, Powers, can you come over here for a second?

[Sure enough, a sleepy looking pastel and flower-covered pig thing floats over.]

Muuu?

She just wanted to see what you looked like since she's taking one of your eggs.

Muu.

[For a moment, Ashley's nervous- but from the sight of the strange pig-thing, she's at ease. The snuggling Zubat perks up for a moment, before nuzzling more into her neck.]

...It's got flowers.

Yeah. A lot of Pokemon look... strange. I mean, I have a Pokemon that looks like a bird broke into a luchador's dressing room. I've given up trying to make sense of it.

No, no, it- it's weird, but flowers. Flowers on a pig, that's pleasant. I like that.

Yeah. I guess maybe it helps with the whole soothing aspect of them? I don't know.

Whatever it is, you've got me looking forward to these mythical pleasanter dreams already.

Well, I'm glad. I'll send it with Pidgey Post and it should show up soon. I'm just happy to help, really.

...Thank you. Thank you a whole lot.

You're welcome. And... I mean it about being able to call me up if you need to.

I really.... I appreciate the offer.

... Only if you want to, though. I don't... want to make it weird or something.

[And he doesn't want to push it, so. Yeah. Powers floats in front of the screen again.]

Muu?

Hey! I was talking to someone, Powers...

[Oh, surprise return of the cute pig. She can't help but laugh reflexively.]

Seems a lot like my Psychic-type, good-natured but nosy... [And has kind of broken some awkwardness on her end.]

It's- look, it's just all new and I don't really- know how to talk about a lot of...it. So I do mean it when I say- thank you, for the nightmare-muncher, for the offer. It's sweet and really helpful, I just haven't...done this before.

Yeah. Regal, my Braviary - he was my starter - likes to poke his beak into my calls, too.

... No, I totally get it. I... had trouble at the beginning, too. And then after I got back it was... really hard. But... even if it's hard, I think it's... better this way.
