[Post 010] Forward-Dated to Christmas Morning; Video/Action in Violet City

[francia]

[The 'Gear comes on pointing upwards and unfocused. It's safe to say that this is probably Marianne's fault.]

[If you happen to come across France, he's sitting underneath one of the bazillion springs of mistletoe in the Violet City Pokemon Center with his pokemon all gathered around him. Kai, Drifblim, and David all look rather curious, and Marianne looks... distracted by the mistletoe overhead. He had rushed to the counter upon waking because of the sudden appearance of a mystery egg in his bed. It looks something like this:]



[He's now been assured that it is, in fact, his to keep. A small, warm Eevee egg of unknown origins, but France doesn't look like he's about to question it. Actually, quite the opposite. He's got a calm, almost drugged expression on his face, and the Eevee egg is wrapped in a swath of white fleece as he cradles it in his arms. He looks very, very happy and, if you come close or happen to catch the faint sound on the feed, you would hear France singing from the carol Ah! Quel grand mystère! (O! What a great mystery!) to the egg in his arms.]

Ah! Quel grand mystère!
Dieu se fait enfant.
Il descend sur terre,
Lui, le tout-puissant!
C’est bien le Messie,
Roi de l’univers,
Qui nous rend la vie
En brisant nos fers.

[Envy comes on the feed with his hair mussed all to one side, looking bleary and...sort of a mixture of happy and embarrassedly frowning. He's wearing the pair of earmuffs France got him around his neck, and he has a black, blue, and yellow egg in his arms wrapped in a green scarf, along with the book.] Hey. Thanks...for the presents I mean.

[AWKWARD what are emotions.] You got an egg too?

You appear to be in a good mood. I suppose you've also received one of these eggs?

[And indeed, Cecil is holding one himself.]

_{[Coop spotted France because - well, actually, he was looking for him. So he enters and approaches and fails to notice the mistletoe, make of that what you will.]}

Merry christmas, France. I see you recieved an egg as well?

You got an egg too, aru?

Oh, and thank you very much for the wine and spices! [He smiles.] I just might keep them for my family only rather than using them up at the restaurant. [He laughs.]

[He's in his room at the Goldenrod pokemon center. He's still in his night clothes and his hair is untied.]

[Practically runs into the adjoining room once he sees Francis' video]

I found an egg just now, too! Do you have any idea who they're from?

[Being a totally shameless opportunist, Greed sees the mistletoe and takes it as a sign that he should probably just snog the living daylights out of France. So that's exactly what he does. He pulls away, eventually, wearing a big grin.]

Hey Blondie, Merry Christmas. I got you somethin'. [He holds out a bag.] I got th' cute nurse t' help me wrap it. [He winks over at Nurse Joy, who titters and blushes, then he looks back to France, still grinning.] I think you might like it.

( Spain had been leaning against a doorway listening to the song. When France finishes, he stands up straight and applauds. When France sees him, he'll see that someone's received his gifts. )

Bravo, Francis.
