003 ♖ [video]
[It's fairly late in the evening when N decides to make a broadcast. In a shift from previous messages, he's looking rather chipper, beaming at the screen. He's sitting in the center of a bed (one of those provided to travelers by the Pokemon Center), legs folded. An egg with a dark purple shell sits in his lap, wrapped up in a sort of makeshift nest formed by some of N's clothes.]
Look. [The Xtransceiver is adjusted to better show the egg in his lap. There is a patient silence from N, until the egg makes the smallest movement-- a slight twitch. N's face lights up with wonder.] There! It moved! Did you see?
[The swell of pride in his expression is almost akin to a doting parent's.] It's amazing, really, that there's a Pokemon inside this. I hope I'm caring for it correctly... [All the Pokemon N ever cared for were full-grown; this is his first experience watching over an unhatched one.] Linoone and I have been keeping it warm and watching over it. Oh! And I can hear the Pokemon inside it sometimes too! When it moves. That's good, right?
[And here he's supposed to be the expert of Unova. He pauses as the aforementioned Linoone steps onscreen, with... what appear to be several DVDs in its mouth.]
Ah. Right. Paprika, I found a video store nearby! I... wasn't sure which genres to look for, so I had Linoone pick out some. [Yeah, fool proof plan there, N.] Is that okay? I think he got you a zombie movie. [He picks out one of the DVDs and scrutinizes it.] ... But I do not approve of the portrayal of the Pokemon on the cover. It is... unsettling. [A movie with zombie humans and zombie Pokemon! Linoone hit the jackpot.]
((OoC: Moving Team Socially Awkward Failboat to Striaton, if that's alright with everybody! If it's not and I'm moving too fast or something, please let me know!))

Re: [action]
So...
...How do I know if it's working? [If it's still alive, she means. Dragonite is not good with babbies.]
[action]
Well... Sometimes, the egg will shake or twitch, like mine did-- that's the Pokemon inside moving. And if you listen closely, you can hear sounds from the inside too.
[As if on cue, the egg in his lap gives a very slight twitch. N beams.] Did you see? This one moves around a lot! Maybe it is close to hatching...? [Or maybe he just has a hyperactive baby oh no.]
[action]
...So, you can basically hear life.
[She's silent for a few minutes (yes, minutes), before sitting down next to Swablu and egg. She's listening for any sounds, any twitches...
...And then it makes the slighest of movements. Most people wouldn't notice such a twitch, but, hey. Dragonite is used to seeing the slighest movements.]
...Hah, so I guess it's alive. I wonder what my egg was like?
