Warren needed a break, again. He needed a break, and more than that. The dark haired young man who was dressed in a Beedrill costume needed to feel the cool winter breeze available upon the deck. He needed to feel it and be reminded of home. This was an interesting night so far, but it was also something that made him realize just how much he missed home. He had left just as fast as he could leave with confidence- and he had left without worrying about his parents feelings. Why were his Parents showering him with this attention suddenly? First they had sent Cre to him, to serve as his starter Pokemon, and protection. Then they sent him the money needed to buy Fragarach and insisted he buy her. And finally, sending him Pokémon Eggs. Were they trying to tell him how much they loved him, were they worried about losing him again? Or were they truly believing in him and trying to bring out his hidden potential as a trainer...? He couldn't be sure, but he didn't want to fail in his quest to become a better trainer and to gain strong Pokémon. To get revenge on the mysterious figure who had sent him into a coma for so long, that was the strongest urge he felt when he woke up every day. It was what made him fight so enthusiastically through his journey so far. But he had to do more than that, he had to. His mother had sent him these eggs out of a token of her love for him and also to help him become a better Pokémon trainer. He had to make sure they hatched and grew strong, just as Scuttlebutt had. But he missed home, he missed it so thoroughly it was depressing, the feeling of the cool wind air. They had let him leave, had supported him this far; his parents who he barely acknowledged before his coma... he would do them proud. And so he found himself sitting upon a bench upon the deck of the Articuno's Vision. He found himself and his white 'Beedrill Wing' simulating cloak wrapped around a pair of Pokémon Eggs. The red, yellow and white Pokémon egg from before- and the dark grey-blue and beige egg which was quite a bit larger than the other egg. Each egg was nestled against the other and his chest, the young man's mask pushed away from his face. He wanted to feel the wind against him, the cool moister of the ship's surroundings as they pushed through the winter night. #01 Posts incubating Munchlax egg.

Adeleine followed Warren outside from the ballroom, he had left so suddenly it was rather shocking. Did she upset him? She was sure Taiki and the rest wouldn't mind, they were probably having fun without her. No one seemed to notice her anyways, and all of her classmates back home forgot she existed most of the time; she was used to it. The upper deck, the chill nipped at her skin and it make her feel chilly. Thankfully only part of her face was exposed, but she was covered for the most part by that mysterious golden rabbit mask. She found him, he wasn't far from the entrance to the lower deck. She put her dainty hand on his shoulder, not really sure what to say. "Excuse me, are you alright?" She tried to say without sounding like she was chastising him, yet she couldn't help but feel that it came off that way anyways. She didn't want to get into a heap of mess over this entire thing. They were here to have fun, and also they were there to preform and meet new people incognito. Adeleine adjusted her mask a bit so she could see Warren better from his angle. Eggs? There were four. "Ah, that's an interesting looking egg..." She prodded the reddish one with her gloved hand gently, gently laughing to herself. She retracted her hand immediately after, face flushing red. "Sorry...that was rude." Adeleine bowed, being awkward as usual. She really was bad at interacting with people, but objects were different. They didn't give you backtalk.

Warren continued to lean over the Pokemon Eggs, shedding them the warmth of his body would lend. In silence, he had sat there, rubbing the eggs with his forearms and keeping his senses clear beyond the cool, loving touch of the breeze and the moist air. He breathed slowly, listening to the things around him, trying to feel the eggs which were against his stomach. He was focused on those eggs, and didn't notice the girl he had danced with walking up behind him. She asked him questions, and he simply blinked at her. He wasn't sure the answer. Was he alright? Would he be truly alright any time soon? He didn't know, and rather sourly, the dark haired young man looked at the night sky, and to the girl, and to the sky again. Both of the eggs were interesting, and he didn't need to confirm that for him. She poked the red-orange and white egg, and the young man blinked at her. Was it rude? Not really. “It's a nice night...” he muttered in response. #02 Posts incubating Munchlax egg.

"Yea...it is." She didn't really have anything else to say, she sat down on the boat floor; unladylike as it was. She didn't care, no one would see her except this guy. Now that she got a good look at his face, though; he looked familiar. He had those blue eyes, just like hers. His were more of one of those types that showed purity. Hers, on the other hand, were those eyes that displayed that flightiness that showed she was a little off most of the time. She sighed, at least the deck was comfortable enough. There it was again, that motherly instinct. She reached for the reddish-peach egg and cradled it. Hm, it was a bit toughed and heavier than her previous egg. She wondered, would she end up hatching lots of eggs? She broke her thought, and slowly put the egg down again. She was a bit flustered, acting without asking. "Ah! Sorry, I didn't mean too...feels just like my cleffa egg though. A bit harder, but that's about it. It feels like you're a parent when you hold them." Adeleine sighed, pondering if her pokemon were okay. Ciriatto was in daycare, and the rest were in her room. Thankfully it was locked and no one would bother to steal her pokemon.

“It does feel like that- or at least how I imagine it to be...” he replied to her musing, much more quickly than before. He was still focused on rubbing the eggs against him, though the grey-blue and beige egg got more cradling than the other egg which was red-orange and white. He shuffled on the bench to make room for his momentary companion, gesturing for her to sit down on the room of the bench he had moved on. The ground was a lot colder, wasn't it? “A Cleffa...?” the young man blinked... a newborn cleffa was it around this age? “It's important to learn how to hatch Eggs.. just as important as befriending your Pokemon.” he smiled, snuggling the eggs even as Alice played with his other egg. “You can hold it, miss, if you want. My mother always said it's easier to raise something with a village than on your own...” he nodded. “I'd appreciate your help.” #03 Posts incubating Munchlax egg.

Adeleine nodded, taking the egg into her arms. It was cold, but she thought about how the outside probably only made it seem that way. She sighed, what a nice way to spend the evening. Her ears perked up at the mention of cleffa. "Yes, she isn't that old...yet she's already a powerhouse. She tosses boulders and the like, such a handful." She thought about Farfarello, wondering if she was bored in her pokeball. Come to think of it, she didn't know what pokemon did inside of the balls anyways. Shuckle Egg incubated for 3 posts.

"Sounds like she has a lot of potential." He said the words off handedly, so much that it was a few seconds before he even acknowledged having said it- by giving a nod. The icy blue eyes of the young man looked to the girl, and he nudged his shoulder against her. He had no idea who she was-, but he felt at ease around her at the moment. Maybe it was the quintessential calming act of nestling against a creature which relied on your body's heat for life, and which you in turn focused most of your energies and perception upon it. "Do you ever feel like things are so far beyond your reach that it's futile to extend your arms...? But you know that if you don't extend your arms and stand on your tippy toes and reach with all your might you won't accomplish what you set out to do...?" He let out a heated breath, creating a little puff of fog from his body's heat against the cool night air. Incubated Munchlax egg for #04 Posts.

Adeleine was still cradling the egg close to her when Warren asked her a piercing question. Did she know what that felt like? She wasn't sure, trying to search herself for any particular answer that may be sufficient. Alas, nothing came to her. She kept the egg close to her, adjusting her legs on the boat to make them a tad more comfortable to sit. "I'm afraid I...don't." She was fairly calm, but that last part came out a bit more shocked. His face, she had seen it before. Ah, so it was him. Adeleine did something out of character, she laughed. "Warren, you really should be wearing your mask; dear. Running into people you know really gives it away." Adeleine laughed, not expecting to actually meet another pokemon trainer. He was who she raided team with. Incubated for 4 posts.

"Then it must be something for me to find the answer to myself..." he mused- caught only by her final words, his name especially. She reprimanded him for the second time this night, this Alice in the Wonderland of Cheyenne. And his eyes simply looked at her with a glance to match the passive, piercing of the cold around them. His eyes seemed almost gray when she said those things, but he did not reach for his mask. "I'm not worried about who knows my face. Even if this is a masquerade, a man should be known by his deeds, not hide from them." He nestled protectively against the egg, protectively, like a big dog protecting a child it had taken on as it's 'own'. The wind felt colder against Warren's face as he held the egg. He didn't know who this person was, but he didn't need to know. A beedrill didn't hide its sting. Incubated Munchlax egg for #05 Posts.

Adeleine shrugged, it didn't bother her. It just defeated the purpose if you didn't wear a mask at a masquerade ball. She guessed he was one of those revolutionary types. She wondered why people cause trouble like that sometimes, but preferred to just ignore it. He seemed really like an individual, Adeleine admired people like that. "Ah, Warren, you don't remember me? That's unfortunate." Adeleine joked, she wasn't used to making jokes like that. She adjusted her rabbit mask so it covered her face a bit better, adjusting her hair to get it a bit untangled from the bonnet. The egg in her other hand was nestled against her side, warming up despite the cold air surrounding them. Incubated for 5 posts.

"I can't remember meeting Alice with a Rabbit's mask- anywhere but in dreams from reading children's books." He replied to her comment, not sourly persay, but not with a lot of happy emotion either. He didn't know who she was, and this ball hadn't been what he had expected it to be per say- not so far; but he still laughed at it all. It was a nervous laugh, but there was no reason to try to allow himself to stay depressed or downwards in emotion. How could the Pokémon be born happy if it's trainer didn't hatch it with happiness...? "I know you're not Team Death- you'd have attacked me. I know you're not an associate of the Crimson Man's, you'd have attacked me... you're not Abram, he couldn't pull off that dress... and I know Ari's voice..." he mused, rubbing a hand gently against the egg as he held the cloak around it. He could feel it getting warmer. Incubated Munchlax egg for #06 Posts.

Adeleine laughed, she'd make him think hard about this. She caught herself, she never really laughed like this before. Taunting people had a certain quality to it that was fun, she was thoroughly amused. It wasn't that long ago, she wondered if he had already forgotten. "I wonder what will happen first, you remember me or the egg hatches." Adeleine didn't laugh at that one, which made it come off a bit more funny than she even meant it. The egg at her side was comfortably resting against her waist, she felt it heat up a bit more. Incubated for 6 posts

His hands rubbed against the eggs with some high enthusiasm as he felt the heat coming from the egg. It was working slightly as a mirror of the only warmth he attempted to pour over it, and so he smiled stupidly just from the feeling. How long could it be from the Pokemon inside revealing itself, hatching for all the world to see...? He really wondered, with this heat- though they said Pokemon could feel the world around them as they slumber in their eggs, waiting to hatch. Perhaps the discussion with this Mad Hatter of a girl was stimulating the egg to hatch. "Hm... you've mentioned owning a Cleffa... who do I know that's your size and owns a Cleffa..." He was saying it as much to encourage the egg to come forth as to respond to the girl, actually thinking on who she might be as he said the words. Incubated Munchlax egg for #07 Posts.

Adeleine see he remembered mentioning Farfarello earlier, yes she had used one. It helped plow through Susumu with Jay helping them both. She though about just outright telling him, but she decided against him. This game was way too fun to pass. She patted the egg once more, making sure it was fine. "Ah, you're getting there. Just a bit more, you'll remember." She was surprised he was actually remembering her, they hadn't interacted much past mutual agreement to invade Team Death. Even then, she wasn't sure if he'd succeed in remembering. Incubated for 7 posts.

The young man nudged against her, either she was trying to play a game here or she was really really really full of herself. And he didn't sense the same of her as he did of the young woman who had tasted a temple full of headbutt from him earlier in the day, he had even danced with this Alice, maybe it was just her way of flirting, this game... a game? No, he didn't remember meeting a girl at the Verona Trainer's Lounge or Verona, not one with a Cleffa. Think, think, think... Where had he met a person with a Cleffa in Cheyenne? He could only think of one place, one place at all. He grinned incredulously, rocking the egg, from the feeling of heat it was generating against his hands and exuding warmth against his stomach. He wasn't really sure her name, but he knew that she was at the raid on Team Death. So it came, words coming out faster than he could process his thoughts "You were at the Raid on Team Death with me... Addie, Adelaide...?" He shook his head. "That doesn't sound right- not at all... Adelei... Adeleine!" He looked awkwardly at her, it was a big accusation. Incubated Munchlax egg for #08 Posts.

Adeleine clapped her hands together, she was happy he solved it. She smiled, having someone figuring this out was really exciting, too. She lowered her mask, exposing her white hair and her blue eyes to Warren. They were calm, if a bit flighty. "It's nice that you guessed it correctly. Warren, how have you been?" Adeleine poked the egg between them, making sure it was okay. It was still warm despite all the hassle. She turned to him, not really sure what to say. Her nannies always took care of her at home, so she really wasn't apt at conversation. "So...how have you been Warren?" Adeleine asked, not really using formalities with him. While she usually called older people mister or miss, she'd save it with him. Incubated for 8 posts

The young man could swear he heard a heartbeat echoing in his ears as he sat there, nestling the little Pokemon Egg which he was trying to warm. A glance of the icy blue eyes looked over the girl's newly revealed face. Yes, this was the girl who had helped him and Jay in the raid on Team Death. He remembered faces very well in regards to things like that, as it had been no minor day. And as he listened to her, was she nervous...? She had repeated herself. "As good as anyone can be in a place like this... I've found new Pokemon and I've made my Pokemon stronger, but I'm no closer to my goals... I haven't even entered the Gym in Ile Electrique yet..." He gave a simple nod. What did she honestly care how he had been? "Why did you become a Pokemon trainer...?" He held the egg even closer to himself, feeling the heat of it and the thrill of it all; he definitely could feel a heart beat coming from the egg. Incubated Munchlax egg for #09 Posts.

Adeleine was somewhat embarrassed by this, she hadn't meant to repeat herself. She guessed she was just spaced out by talking to Warren again, they hadn't seen each other in a good deal of time. She wasn't quite sure how long, but it had been a good deal. "Why did I become a trainer? Well, I really wanted to preform in contests. I'll be preforming here soon, check it out. My parents lost their income when the power outage happened, and it was what sent me on my way. It's fixed now, but here I am. You?" Adeleine shrugged, taking care not to upset the balance of the egg that was next to her. She made sure it didn't tip over and crack, especially since it wasn't hers. Incubated for 9 posts

The young man was silent as he listened to Adeleine's response, his hand rubbing around the egg which was carefully placed against his crotch and stomach, the cloak pulled even closer around the young man as he felt the egg coming closer and closer to hatching. Closer and closer and closer, he could feel it about to pop, and he could swear he felt an occasional punch against the shell or nudge against it. What could be going on, really? "That's far more noble than me, going to help your parents- though i guess my reason for being here isn't too different from that... I'm here to become strong. To find a certain man who happened to put me in a coma for four years..." the young man winced at admitting in. "But it's more than that... after the incident I feel I have to prove myself to myself. That's why I'm on my journey, that's why these eggs will hatch and the other eggs my mother sent me will too- I'll add them to my team of Pokemon if they're something which would help the balance, and even if I don't I'll value the experience that hatching them taught me." He gave a firm nod to himself, and to the girl. He could feel the moment coming; oh so closely, that this egg hatched. He nudged oh-so-awkwardly and [likely uncomfortably for Adeleine] to drape his cloak around her and the red and beige egg as well, nudging against it and holding his free hand against that egg.

Adeleine was satisfied, that was a textbook answer. She wondered why she didn't just go off on her own. Then, she thought about it harder. While she really did want to do this for her parents, she did it for herself; too. She wanted to actually leave the house more than once or twice a week for once. She sighed, it was nice to be finally out and on her own in a way. "I see. Raising eggs like this is fun." Adeleine said, not really sure what else to say. The sudden draping didn't help her either. It made her feel uneasy, but she was okay. She knew Warren was a good person. "Her" egg was very warm now, almost ready to hatch. She felt a bit of jiggling which excited her. Incubated for 10 posts.
