Man... I really gotta keep tabs on this thing.

[ the feed turns on to Hilda muttering to herself and holding her head in one hand. she seems to be in some kind of pain - enough to momentarily distract her from the fact that she's recording. but once she brings her gaze back to the screen, she manages a smile. ] Hey, everyone. Miss me?

I guess I kind of dropped off the face of the earth for a little while there. Sorry. [ a chuckle. ] I've never lost my bracelet up until now, so this is kind of new to me. If anyone has a remedy for a splitting headache, could you let me know? My healing's kinda weak right now.

Oh! [ she's remembered something, and it's enough to make her perk up! ] About Poketopia... We've sort of lost some of our workers over the past few weeks. That means we're a little short-staffed, and we could reeeeeally use some more help! We'll be holding a sale in the next few days, so you should come and check us out if you're interested in getting a job at a cafe! You won't regret it, promise.

[ PRIVATE to Pokemon Trainers ]

The house is totally empty! Where'd you guys go?

[ PRIVATE to Hope Estheim ]

So... How's the egg doing?

Of course I'm okay! You didn't think you could get rid of me that easily, did you? [ le wink. ]

I wouldn't want to get rid of you.

[he tries saying that jokingly... but you can't really joke when you say something as cheesy as that...]

[adventurous]

Well I sure hope so! [ hey, cheesy is her middle name when it comes to jokes. and what goes better with those than some good old fashioned teasing? ]

You didn't miss me that much, did you?

[selfestheim]

I'm not allowed to get worried about my friends?

[ oh... okay. that tone says it's time to put the jokes aside for a little. ]

Of course you are. Thanks for worrying about me, Hope... But i'm really okay. No long-term damage.

[selfestheim]

Mm... I'm glad.

But for your question, uh... it's doing good? It moves around sometimes... is that normal?

[adventurous]

Oh! Yeah, that's totally normal. That means it's growing and healthy, actually!

[ she smiles. ] At that rate, it'll be a few more weeks before it hatches.

[selfestheim]

Huh... and it'll be the same kind of Pokémon that Samurott evolved from, right?

[adventurous]

Yep! Oshawott are pretty cute and small, so you'll be able to carry it around with you and stuff even after it hatches.

[he briefly pauses before he answers.]

It'll be fun having it around.
