DING DONG THERE'S SOMEONE AT THE EEVEE CAFE

[quickattackjack]

[ SEVERAL DAYS LATER....]

[ A tall skinny shadow fills the doorway of the Eevee Cafe. He's got a Murkrow on his shoulder and an umbrella in one hand. He turns and shakes it out on the sidewalk before stepping inside. ]

Anyone home?

[He will be immediately mobbed by happy Eevees who love visitors! They scamper over, calling in delight.

Radley laughs as he tries to pick his way through them.]

Hi there! Glad you could make it!

[quickattackjack]

[ It's been a long time since Jack has seen so many of one Pokemon species all in one place! Maybe never, actually. Luckily, he's used to crowds so he happily crouches down, knees around his ears, and holds his hands out for them to sniff or lick or nibble or whatever Eevees like to do. He's not worried about them hurting him.]

It's good to see you, Radley. Hello everyone! Hello there!

[ Edgar, his Murkrow, shuffles from side to side on Jack's shoulder and peers down at all the Eevee's with one red judgmental eye. She's not sure about this. ]

[crystalmaster]

[Luckily, Eevees delight in sniffing, licking, and rubbing rather than nibbling! They continue to call happily, with Evie especially greeting Edgar too. She waves her tail cheerily. She loves new friends!]

[quickattackjack]

[ Poor Evie! Edgar just turns her beak up and huffs.]

[ Jack, meanwhile, is having a lovely time and he cackles to himself as the Eevees push and shove for his attention. ]

How would one of you like to come home with me?

[crystalmaster]

[Evie's ears droop at that.

Radley smiles at Jack.]

These Eevees are spoken for, but we've got some eggs if you'd like to raise one from an egg.

[quickattackjack]

[ He looks up and gives Radley a nod. ]

It's been a long time since I've hatched an egg. Have the techniques changed at all?

[crystalmaster]

I don't think so, but how did you do it?

[He just wants to make sure.

He picks up Evie and gives her some extra love, seeing she's sad. Evie nuzzles him.]

[quickattackjack]

We have a spot next to the fireplace perfect for eggs.

[crystalmaster]

[Radley nods.]

Warmth is definitely important. We also like talking and singing to the eggs.

[quickattackjack]

[ Jack brings a finger to his chin, his brows lifted. What a brilliant idea. Being a skeleton, he knows more about death than ushering in new life.]

What a great idea...tell me, what kinds of songs do they like? Do they like stories? I could tell the egg the scariest of tales--but would they understand them?

[crystalmaster]

Well, we've mostly tried happy songs and stories. I don't know if they'd understand scary ones or not.

[quickattackjack]

We'll have to see, then...may I see the eggs?

[crystalmaster]

Sure. Come on in.

[He smiles and starts down the hall to the incubation room. The Eevees trot along happily.

In the room, some eggs are in incubators while others are being warmed by Eevees. They look up sleepily and warble Hello.]

[quickattackjack]

[Jack follows. When the Eevees greet him, he can't help but chuckle. What chipper Pokemon Eevees are! He wouldn't mind if his Umbreon ended up the cheerful sort, so long as it could put on a good act when showtime came around. ]

All this Eevee breeding must keep you busy.

[crystalmaster]

[Radley pets some of the Eevees warming eggs.]

It does, but it's worth it.
