ALL RIGHT. NOW THAT WE HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED IN THIS LITTLE BACKWATER TOWN
THERE'S SOME BUSINESS TO DISCUSS.
IN OTHER WORDS, I HAVE SOME EGGS THAT ARE FOR SALE.
IN THE PAST, THIS HAS BEEN FOR FREE.
HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF *REASONS* THIS TIME I CAN'T REALLY AFFORD TO DO THAT.
WE HAVE SHINX, AXEW, BAGON, PURRLOIN, TWO DIFFERENT SETS OF SWABLU EGGS, LAPRAS, FEEBAS, BLITZLE, GASTLY, RALTZ, GROWLITHE, POOCHYENA, AND DRATINI.
MAKE AN INQUIRY ABOUT ONE AND I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I CAN AND THE PRICE THAT I WILL BE CHARGING.
SOME OF THESE SHITTY BEASTS ARE GOING TO BE A LITTLE COSTLY.
WHAT CAN I SAY? YOU CAN'T GET NEW BATTLEMATES WITH A FUCK TON OF MOVES AND NOT EXPECT TO PAY A *LITTLE* BIT FOR IT, RIGHT.
RIGHT
ANYWAY, THAT'S WHAT WE GOT.
UNFORTUNATELY, IF YOU'RE IN JOHTO, I CAN ONLY SEND THEM TO YOUR PC.
IF YOU'RE IN KANTO, I CAN MAKE AN EXCEPTION IF NO ONE IS ADVERSE TO HAVING A GIANT BAT DELIVER.
YEAH, I THINK THAT'S ALL I GOT.

(( ooc: there are still some left ))

A LUSUS IS ANOTHER BEAST THAT ROAMS THE PLANET.
EVERY NOW AND THEN, THEY WANDER INTO THE BROODING CAVERNS
THEY FIND A TROLL GRUB TO WHICH THEY FEEL SYMPATHETIC TOWARDS AND THAT'S THAT.
IT BECOMES THE GRUB'S CUSTODIAN.
A LUSUS ISN'T EXACTLY A PARENT, BUT IT AS CLOSE AS WE GET TO ONE.

[Hiccup tries to imagine how that would be, wonder what it would be like if he had been raised by... Oh, say, Toothless.

...Regurgitated fish for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.]

Sounds tough.

[ perfect mental picture. ]

I GUESS?
HONESTLY I AM GLAD TO HAVE THE MONSTER CRAB OVER WHAT FEFERI HAD.

Monster crab? [THAT DIDN'T SOUND LIKE SOMETHING TO BE GLAD ABOUT.] What in Odin's name did she have?

[usedshooshpap]

UM.
GIANT MASS OF TENTACLES WITH A SCREECH THAT COULD KILL ALL LIFE ON THE PLANET?

...I would want the crab, too.

I KNOW, RIGHT?

A dragon would be even better, though.

[And no one was surprised.]

IF TEREZI EVER COMES BACK, SHE WOULD LOVE YOU FOR SAYING THAT.
HER LUSUS WOULD HAVE BEEN A DRAGON, IF IT HAD EVER HATCHED IN TIME.

[newberktown]

Why didn't it hatch?

Wait, I thought a Lusus finds a baby troll and takes care of it. How could hers have been an egg?

SHE IS AN EXCEPTION TO THE RULE, MUCH LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE.

[newberktown]

You make it sound like there's a lot of rules.
