[Day 184] Actually we DO know how those eggs got there... [OPEN]

[unwrittenformula]

Who: The New Daycare Couple N, Hilda, Anna,  a whole lot of Pokemon and Pokemon Eggs, and YOU
Open: Open!
When: Day 184
Where: The new Pokemon Daycare Center in the Bastion
What: There's a new house in the Bastion. People are moving in to it, and Pokemon are playing in the yard.
Format: action
Warnings: Lethal amounts of adorable

[It took a lot of shards, and a lot of work, but it was worth all of that in the end. With the eggs they'd found at the broken Daycare Center getting so close to hatching, and their Pokemon numbers growing, staying in the apartments was just not going to continue to be a viable option. So the two trainers put their heads together, and after a lot of discussion, planning, counting shards and re-planning they had managed to come up with an entirely new Daycare Center of their own, complete with a yard and living area on the second floor.

And there it was, a new house standing on a new section of land in a slightly expanded Bastion, and after some shuffling around of personal belongings out of the tower apartments, N, Hilda, Anna, and all their Pokemon and eggs were successfully relocated to this new location.

So if anyone is making their way around the south quadrant of the Bastion today, this new house with its strange creatures playing happily in the yard is likely to catch your attention.

Come see what it's all about?]

[Crona is curious. Who wouldn't be, when faced with a completely new building in their little safe haven?

The little creatures get Crona's attention as well, and the meister inches closer. Psychic types might not want to interact with Crona, with the fear-unsureness-worry radiating off the teen, but Crona isn't going to hurt any of them. It's just curiosity.]

[unwrittenformula]

[Luckily for Crona, and any psychic types, there isn't any in the yard currently. That there does seem to be is a very large red and black furred fox, with...

A cloud on his head.

Okay, that's not a cloud. It's another Pokemon. Swablu, to be exact.

The fox seems to be wandering about it's new home trying to get a feel for it, and upon seeing Crona staring it stops and stares back.]

[freedom_engineer]

[Well, this sure is a new building. And from a distance, his scans have told him all he needed to know. Hilda and N are here, their pokèmon are here, and several others are here as well. This looks to be the new home away from Pokèhome. All it needs is a housewarming gift.]

[So, what's that coming down to the new daycare center? It looks like Colin, and he's got a basket with several things inside. Some donuts, some cookies, some fruit, a couple of knotted rope toys and balls, all to welcome everyone into their new place.]

Hello? Anybody home?

[He's also got Zorua's ball in his pocket, just in case. He knows that animals imprint on toys. If she wants her ball, well, he's got it.]

[unwrittenformula]

[All of the above is true!

And there is some one home, of course. Hilda and the others have gone back to get more things from the apartments, but N stayed behind to watch the Pokemon there and rest a bit.

The voice calling out gets his attention from where he's found a semi-comfortable spot on the play room floor to lay down, currently buried under Eevee, Swablu and of course Zoura who are all laying on him. Zoroark is near by, not quite flopped on his friend but using his arm as a pillow.

... this is awkward.]

... ah... come in... !

[freedom_engineer]

[Colin arches his eyebrow slightly and he reaches for the door, opening it and sticking his head inside. He spies N pinned beneath the wee ones, and he smirks.]

You look like you've been outnumbered, N.

And somewhat tired, too.

[unwrittenformula]

I've never had to move before...

[Hence the tired.]

I believe I was always going to be out numbered by them.

[Colin's entrance seems to have gotten the attention of a certain little fox...]

[ourlegends]

[ Zorua's head immediately shot up and looked toward the door. Upon seeing who it was, her little tail started a-waggin', and she hopped off of Papa to bark happily and rush over to Colin.

Hiiiiiiii!! Hi, friend!! Let's play again, friend!!

Clearly, moving hadn't worn her out as much as it had the others. ]

[freedom_engineer]

You should have come to get me, I'd have been happy to lend you a hand.

[He grins as Zorua comes to greet him, and he sets down the basket of stuff on a table out of the reach of inquisitive young pokemon. Certainly not inquisitive young FLYING pokemon, but there's only so much defense one can give around fliers.]

Hello, Zorua! Do you mind if I pick you up? I want to talk to N a little first, then we can go out and play for a while!

[He leans over closer to Zorua, holding his palm out to her.]

[gianthobo]

[AZ has moved his bag into his room (his room, it's weird to think of it like that), but he's still more comfortable outside with his Pokemon. Sigilyph is watching everyone from the roof, and Golurk is sitting in the yard with Floette on its shoulder, having some kind of conversation. Torkoal is puffing smoke for Eevee to pounce at.]

[AZ himself is sitting on the porch, looking a little lost. He's... not quite sure what to do with a home. He hasn't had a home in a long time. But for the moment he's more or less content to watch over those in the yard.]

[unwrittenformula]

Mm, we had AZ. It wasn't too much of an issue until I got tired.

[Hikikomori life, man. It has not been kind to N's stamina.

Once Zoura is off of him, though, the others shift enough to let N get up.]

You said the magic word. Good luck getting her to leave you alone now.

/gently tosses a half demon at

[hellpyre]

[Well that sure is a new... thing in the Bastion. It really is hard to ignore the new structure and all of the interesting creatures wandering about in it. It takes Rin a moment to realize that they're Pokemon (just not the Pokemon she met from Hilda) and that they're... living there now. Apparently.

Alright then.

It's even more difficult to ignore the large man sitting on the porch, though, and after a bit she finally decides to approach, tail swinging low beneath her skirt.]

Uhm. Hi. ... you okay?

[ourlegends]

[ You did indeed say the magic word, Colin, and she's okay with you picking her up. She does seem to pout a little about not playing right away. Buuuut she's been ... slowly learning patience. Slowly.

Okaaaay. Talk with Mama's Mate. And then we play! Plaaaaay ~ ]

[aprettyred]

[ Anna helped a little - there was only so much she could carry at once, and probably only so much that wasn't more easily carried by another person.

So here is Anna, settled in the yard with an egg wrapped in a blanket on her lap. ]

[freedom_engineer]

[And once she seems fine with him picking her up, he scoops his hand under her and picks her up, giving her fur a friendly tussle with his other hand.]

Don't you worry, Zorua. I even brought your ball, so we can do lots of playing in a little bit!

[He grins over her towards N, then.]

Don't worry, I know what I'm getting into. I played with her for almost an hour the other day, and I think I've given her a solid impression that I'm going to be a good playmate. That's fine with me, she's going to have boundless energy, I can help her burn some of it off to give you two a break.

[And while he talks, he's just going to hold Zorua and pet her. Is Uncle Colin spoiling her?]

[unwrittenformula]

[Spoiling her forever, Colin.]

That's good. I have no problem dealing with young Pokemon, but she's got far more energy than I'm used to. She even wears out the others, often. It's been... difficult. Especially with all these eggs to care for.

[ourlegends]

[ Everyone gets tired easily! It's not right! Play all the time!

But she is definitely loving the pets. Such a spoiled little Zorua. She leans into Uncle Colin's petting happily. ]

[ourlegends]

[ After moving everything over from the apartments, Hilda knew the work was still far from done ... but she was so tired at this point that she just. Collapsed. On the couch. She didn't even try to get to her bed.

All of the Pokemon were out playing or resting themselves, and she wasn't entirely sure where the rest of the humans were. She just knew she was exhausted, and she needed a bit of a rest herself.

Obviously, this means people should feel free to come bug her. Do it. Do it now. ]

[freedom_engineer]

You've been lucky. Kids often have more energy than their parents. But they sleep longer, too. If you're able to tire them out, or at least satisfy them, you can get some much needed rest time yourself.

Fortunately, you can recruit friends to help with that. Isn't that right, Zorua? Aren't we friends?

[What's that? What's that? It's a TUMMY RUB! Colin totally doesn't play fair.]

/eeeeee

[gianthobo]

[AZ looks up and - ah. It's that girl. The one with the friend who...]

[... Now's not the time for such thoughts. He smiles a little at her and waves.]

Hello. I'm all right. I'm just trying to get used to the idea of having a home again. I'm usually a wanderer.

[unwrittenformula]

[Gosh, Colin, you're just giving her everything she wants.

N makes a face at her with that comment she made about playing, failing to resist a groan.

He's not built for this, Zoura...]

That's just it, she's barely sleeping. I've never seen a Pokemon with so much energy running on such limited rest! It's baffling.

[hellpyre]

[Well, after bothering AZ for a bit, Rin decides it's a good idea to bring a nice housewarming gift to the new home owners.

And what kind of gift?

Food, of course!

She tries knocking, but when she doesn't get an answer she attempts the door handle. Finding it unlocked, she pokes her head in, calling out.]

Helloooo... ?

[ourlegends]

[ She groans a little, but she recognizes that voice, and knows that it is a friend. She sits herself up on the couch and waves a little, tiredly, from the living room. Not sure if Rin can see her, but eh. ]

Hey! Come in here, I don't think I can move too much right away.

[ And with that said, she flops back down onto the couch. ]

[hellpyre]

[Yes. Her. But she's clearly doing better now, even if she does miss Night every day.]

Ohhh... that would be different...

[She shuffled closer then, finding a seat next to him on the porch.]

It's a nice house, though. Nicer'n anythin' I've ever lived in.

[hellpyre]

[Well, that was an invitation. Rin wanders in and closes the door behind her, holding a basket with something wonderful smelling inside it.]

Ohboy... you do look tired. You coulda asked for help, y'know! Heavy liftin' is kinda my second skill!
