Warnings: nnnone?

[ good afternoon esco network!! today's video brings youuu...


and then drayton's arm coming into view to scoop this adorable noodle up and focus the camera on his face! which also brings into view the... three other dratinis draped around both himself...

and a very very unimpressed-looking kieran in the background. the dratini kieran is carrying is a cute shade of pink compared to its grey-blue siblings. ]

What's up! Man, we've had a fun couple of days. Turns out that whole Dragon's Gale thing doesn't mess around, even if the dragons aren't locals.

[ there is a slight strain in his cheery tone that might be attributed to the menacing dark aura kieran is giving off behind him while he says all this. ]

Long story short, we've ended up with this bunch'a baby Dratinis on our hands. They're cute as heck, and pretty well-behaved, but any Dragon-type that's gonna spend some time around humans should have some socialising. So we're givin' everyone a rare, excluuusive opportunity to interact with these adorable lil' guys while we, uh, decide what to do with 'em.

[ the dratini he'd picked up at the start makes a pleased trilling noise, one matched by the pink one kieran is holding. drayton smiles, still slightly strained, and lowers the camera so he's just out of frame and begins talking offscreen in hushed, but still audible tones. ]

Man, c'mon, at least say somethin'!

("Say somethin'?? This is your fault anyway! Why should I say anythin'??")

Again, how is this my-- ahh, hold on.

[ the feed ends with a clatter. ]

[telepathicignorance]

Those baby dragon Pokémon?

[breezily]

[ exasperated; ]

I mean, probably. A few baby Dratinis would be no problem back home, but here's a little more difficult.

[breezily]

Yeah, Dratinis. There's four of 'em.

[breezily]

yup

theyre dratinis. friendly lil guys

[fractales]

You can bring them by Cosmo Conservatory- we do have a place they can enjoy some water, and meet a few of the more sociable animals.

[Then, what was more on his mind than that—]

Along with looking them over, they may very well be the first pokémon born here. I had wondered if it were possible, but unable to see given those of my team do not breed.

[telepathicignorance]

Sure, I'll help. Where are you gonna be socializing them?

[breezily]

Thanks, Prof. I reckon we'll be keepin' the sparkly buddy, they're pretty attached. The others seem more independent.

[ he glances back at kieran, and grins brightly. ]

Happy to help with the research!

[breezily]

hey thanks

not totally sure

was gonna jus walk around eltrut but mayb take em to the conservatory

[fractales]

Quite the luck to have a shiny, and I do not doubt it. At least this will also make an easy place for visiting its siblings?

[An easy place for observation simply to make sure they were healthy, and if there was anything different about them being born here out of curiosity's sake.]

Certainly one way to make sure all of them are healthy- and also a reinforcement of how much both of your pokémon trust you; assuming if they presented you both with eggs as tends to happen.

[ i am breaking the restrictions of self-cr to also throw puppy eyes at coffee dad about the noodle dragons. ]

[telepathicignorance]

Conservatory might be a good place.

I can come over there whenever you guys think you're likely to bring them.

Where'd those noodle dragons come from? Is Kieran okay? Why was that one pink?

video

[breezily]

[ ticking off on his fingers. ]

They're from eggs. He's fine, just mad - dunno why, they're his eggs just as much my eggs. It's pink because it's a shiny! Lucky us, they're really, really rare.

video

[refantasma]

Huh. He seemed like a cheerful guy to me.

[But Nico knew that some people frustrated you, no matter what else you felt for them. Maybe Drayton was like that for Kieren?]

Wait. So, did your Pokemon, er... you know, mate, and that's why there are eggs?

[octoblot]

[you're still not our dad Kaveh but as an employee of your cafe we also think you should adopt the noodle dragons for cafe marketing reasons Azul could come up with just saying]

un; perfpilot, video

[sos_pilot]

Oh my gooooosh! Wookit those widdle baby noodles!

[ Della's already pretty susceptible to babies in general, but yeah, let's face it, them some cute mons. ]

I would literally do anything for a chance to help you guys with these. I would rip out my own kidney.

[empyrean_mirror]

[Okay so after a protracted argument of puppy eyes and pleading has failed--]

Are those--pokemon? What will you do with all of them?

[Do they need a home. With a lagoon. Just asking for a friend.]

[Kieran takes this opportunity to lean over Drayton's shoulder, still looking irritated even while holding the cute little pink noodle in his arms.]

Yeah, I'm cheerful when this bozo ain't bein' irresponsible and causin' messes like this! If he'd've kept a better eye on his Dragonite this wouldn'ta happened!

video; threadjacking

[ohwowzers]

[Kieran sticks his head over Drayton's shoulder, a frown heavy on his face as he sends a Look at Drayton]

Yeah, they're Pokemon. Baby Pokemon. Cause someone wasn't watchin' his Dragonite properly!
