rather_eat_turquoise[The feed suddenly clicks on at an ungodly hour of the morning, on a weird angle which shows that it's obviously sitting on the floor and has been accidentally turned on. There are crashes as growling Trapinch dashes past, followed by an annoyed looking Pineco.
The feed shows the two attempting to tackle each other and dodging, hitting furniture and slamming into the walls.
At this point, if anyone is wondering where the heck their owner is, he's dead to the world, snoring on the bed. You can just hear him in the background over the noise these two pokemon are making.
The pair become tangled up in a corner of the blanket which is draped on the floor. Struggling to both get loose, they pull the entire blanket off the bed, dragging three eggs with it.
They hit the ground with a crack and the feed blinds everyone watching with a series brilliant white lights.]
Karp...karp...karp...karp.
Reeeeep, Mareep?
Hor...seaaaaaa.
[The light fades and Spike's three newest pokemon are revealed (well, at least two of them...the Magikarp egg rolled off screen). Spike's Trapinch and Pineco, obviously surprised by this development, immediately start arguing, each blaming the other for what happened.]
What? Who's there?
[Cue their bleary owner, who has finally woken up.]
What the!?! YOU GUYS HATCHED?
[You can see Spike's feet as he hops off the bed, and starts frantically running around the room]
Oh Celestia, whatdoIdowhatdoIdowhatdoIdo???
Okay, stay cool Spike...you can handle this....
Wait, YOU'RE A FISH?!?
[A beat]
Water! I need water!
[Spike's legs race past into the bathroom, and you can hear the water being turned on in the bathtub as he dumps his Magikarp into it.]

Oh, yeah, flopping is... pretty much all he does. He likes water, a lot, but he's okay without it for a while. I keep him in his ball most of the time, but... [He gestures at the Magikarp. He was going to say 'but being out doesn't kill him' but now that he's thinking about it, he can't really say that with complete certainty, considering Dingle's tendency to look half-dead at the best of times.]

Date: 2013-05-08 09:28 pm (UTC)Yeah it's hard to forget Pinkie Pie! She'll make sure you remember her.
[Spike looks over his shoulder towards the bathroom, where he can hear his Horsea and Magikarp splashing]
So they don't...really do anything else then?
[Spike sighed.]
Well, at least they're okay out of water, for a while anyway. I guess when we leave Cianwood I'll have to put him in a fishbowl or a pokeball...
[video]
Date: 2013-05-08 11:49 pm (UTC)Not really, no. But it'll be worth it when it grows up.
Definitely don't leave it out when you're traveling, unless you wait for it to flop fast enough to catch up.

Date: 2013-05-10 11:15 am (UTC)Although how a fish turns into a dragon, I have no idea. How does that even work?
[Spike blinks]
Flops...to...
[He starts laughing at the image in his mind]
That would be HILARIOUS! I'd have to call him Magi-CAN'T.
[video]
Date: 2013-05-10 02:24 pm (UTC)Anyway, yeah, a fishdragon. So careful you don't make it too mad when it's still small.
[Okay, so he's not sure that matters, but the other kid with the Magikarp had said it, and Jack's enough of a brat to repeat it just for fun.]
[video]
Date: 2013-05-16 10:57 am (UTC)Yeah...yeah I'll be careful...wouldn't want it...to flop me to death...
...Fishdragon...
[Spike collapses back into laughter. After a few moments, he's able to pull himself back together.]
At least he seems pretty happy at the moment. I'll have to think of a name for him.
Speaking of names, I'm Spike!
[In all the confusion, he forgot to introduce himself]
[video]
Date: 2013-05-16 12:55 pm (UTC)But I'm Jack. Nice to meet you, Spike.
[video]
Date: 2013-05-24 10:24 pm (UTC)Nice to meet you too Jack! Have you been here a long time? I only got here a couple weeks ago. Are any of your friends here?
[video]
Date: 2013-05-25 07:09 pm (UTC)A couple of my friends from back home are here, yeah, but I don't think they're nearly as outgoing as your friends. They're back in Cherrygrove.
[video]
Date: 2013-06-01 02:10 am (UTC)Oh well that's good that they're here too! It wouldn't be very fun coming here by yourself. Where did you come from?
