[Prose]

( Marianne knows she's not a nice girl. )



[Action]

[The 'Gear comes on to find a very self-satisfied France grinning at the audience of the network. Have you missed this arrogant fail, Johto?]

Today, a milestone has been reached in Johto history!

[The camera shifts around to show one massive Charizard and a glaring Ninetales. If you look closely in the background, you can spot one sunbathing Umbreon as well as a rippling Ditto at her side.]

Louis has evolved into a Charizard, and Marianne has reached her hundredth level nearly a year since my glorious and eventual arrival in this place!

[France shifts the 'Gear back upon himself, wearing his most sparkletastic winning grin.]

I propose this be declared a national holiday, in honor the greatness of France!

[The 'Gear comes on to a very smug-looking Martin the Ditto in the middle of France's pokemon who all look extremely happy and utterly pleased with themselves. Behind them, there is a pie of eggs of all sorts of different colors arranged neatly and with an extra space heater to make sure they're kept warm.]

Okay, Merlin, you were right.

[France doesn't sound too upset; he actually appears, once the 'Gear shifts to his face, rather more amused than put-out. He beams after a moment, throwing an air kiss at the camera.]

Hello, Johto! Would any of you handsome gentleman and lovely ladies like to get your hands on fresh, authentic French eggs? I've got Drifloon, Eevee, Poliwag, and Vulpix eggs here, and they need to go to good homes.

[The 'Gear turns back to France's pokemon and the eggs. Thérèse the Eevee pokes at Martin, who wiggles happily, whilst Kai and Drifbim float over the eggs and Marianne and David stare at the camera, the former with a latent threat and the latter utterly soullessly.]

I've got a number of each, so just drop me a line or a text within the next few days if you'd like to purchase an egg or two or three.



[[OOC: IC post following yesterday's OOC post here. Again, there are twenty egg slots in all, but they can go anywhere; current egg slot count is 20/20.]]

[There's rather self-satisfied laughter just off-screen as the 'Gear comes on. It reveals two Ninetales, both with their tails facing the camera. The giggling follows the camera as it goes around and reveals one very cross-looking Marianne and... a derp-face Marianne?]

Change back, Martin. I'm trying to show you off!

[The derp-face Ninetales makes a very un-Ninetales sound, and, after a shimmer of mysterious light, a very pink, very pleased-looking Ditto appears!]



[France makes a cooing sound before the 'Gear is turned to face him. He looks so pleased with himself.]

Isn't he adorable? He will be a perfect French gentleman in no time!
