3rd Sapphire Cupcake: [Video / Action for Cianwood]

[rather_eat_turquoise]

[The feed clicks on to Spike looking cheerful but a little dubious. He's sitting on an already made-bed, surrounded by four large eggs. Luckily his Trapinch is off destroying something else in another room, and his Pineco seemed content to stay sleeping on the window sill.]

Hi, it's Spike here, your friendly neighbourhood dragon.

So, everypony is out working or training right now, and I'm stuck here looking after these eggs.

[Yep, Spike may have gone a little overboard with his egg collecting. So being back at the inn 'egg-sitting' is his own fault really.]

Does anypony know exactly how to look after these guys? [He rubs an imaginary dirt mark off one with the edge of the blanket]

I mean, I'm not supposed to sit on them or anything, right? Coz that would be way too weird.... And Fluttershy went home before I came, so I can't ask her.

[He looks a little concerned now]

If anypony can give me any advice on what I'm supposed to do to hatch eggs, that would be great.

Well - you've just gotta wait. A Pokemon with Flame Body'll speed it up a bit, but you can't really go wrong with them.
[...There's a Servine peering into view slightly. So... she vanished. Fluttershy.
Hhsk. Laguna doesn't notice the Servine, though, and just keeps on talking.]
I'd recommend not going on a journey while you've got a bunch, though. Because, well, you can't carry more then six Pokemon, and eggs count as Pokemon.

You should keep them nice and warm, and wrap them in some soft cloth if you have any. Staying close by also helps.

[Spike does look very young, so even if he is a dragon he can be forgiven for not knowing these things.]

Did you say that you are also a dragon?

[This, Temeraire looks excited about. He hasn't met any other dragons here.]

I find it's usually pretty easy to let your POKEMON take care of them, if you happen to have any particularly, uh. Maternal ones.

_{[But then again Heather has a notoriously bad history with eggs so maybe she's not the best person to listen to. :I]}

Nice to meet you, Spike. What kind of Pokemon are in those eggs?

Mainly they just need time, but mine usually hatched when I carried them around with me close by. If you're staying somewhere for a while you could try taking turns carrying one egg each whenever you go out. That should speed things up.

...Wait, did you say you're a dragon? Shouldn't you be naturally warm enough anyway?

[Anypony???]

(Ta-da! Have a Rainbow Dash popping up behind you Spike, laughing while placing her hands over your eyes.)

You had it right the first time, Spike; you sit on 'em so they'll hatch!

Are you really a dragon or was that supposed to be a joke?

[As for the everypony thing...well, quirky puns are hardly new to him. Hardly worth commenting on. Though it's a little weird that a dragon would make horse puns.]

You don't have to sit on them though, just keep them warm. Usually I wrap mine in blankets or have one of my more maternal Pokémon look after them.

[ Rarity watches all the answers to Spike's post and quietly takes notes. Some time later she wanders into Spike's room. ]

Well, Spike, you've certainly made a good deal of progress. You're becoming quite the little father!

(Hi Spike, hope you don't mind Cadence coming into the room shortly after you finish up with all of those responses.)

Did you get the answers you were looking for, Spike?
