...geez, where did I put my pot of gold? I must've been really sleepy after the festival...

[Have a Clover rummaging through the stuff she's piled up on her desk, searching for one of the props she used yesterday as part of her leprechaun costume. Books, shopping bags, and her own pack are strewn all over the surface, and she's cleaning them up - and she must have accidentally switched on her gear while sifting through her stuff and setting said gear aside. A Dratini (from Layton, oh yes) is curled around her arm.

She disappears off-screen with her pack and one of the bags, but her voice is still clear as day.]

Light! I can't find my - wait, where'd you find it?

[No Roserade-type sounds. He's probably pointing or gesturing in reply, as the gear is still focused on a...somewhat more organized stack of stuff on the desk.]

Thanks, I - aaaaaah! [And yes, that was an ear-piercing shriek. Well, what do you expect from a girl with a really high voice?] What the - w-when did this happen?! G-g-gimme the gear, quick!

[A Roserade will now step into view and promptly grab the PokéGear as it continues to record. Soon it is passed to Clover, whose eyes are wide and who looks like she's clutching onto it for dear life (the Dratini is gone, probably spooked by her scream or something). Soon her expression of shock gives way to one of...excitement. Exhilaration. Amazement. In fact, she doesn't speak for a while, and lets out a laugh. And another.]

...

There...there are eggs in my pot. I think they're Eevee eggs.

[And now she's yelling into the gear, forgetting to filter this particular bit of the post to one (1) Ken Amada.]

Ken, wherever you are, get over here quick - Io and Neptune probably had eggs!

[Some time later, filtered to Seven, Lotus and Junpei]

[Clover is calmer now, but still happy as happy can be.]

Want an Eevee egg? It's free, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime offer!

[ WHAT IF IT'S THE GIRLFRIEND CALLING? YOU WOULDN'T JEOPARDIZE HIS RELATIONSHIP, WOULD YOU? ]

Uh-huh. Are you sure you didn't lose any of your other ones while you were out of it?

[PROVE THAT IT REALLY WAS THE GIRLFRIEND. THEN WE'LL TALK.]

I did not!

[ ...GIVE ME A SEC; I'LL GET HER TO CONFIRM MY ALIBI. ]

Don't yell at me. I'm not the irresponsible one here.

[YOU BETTER.]

I wasn't being irresponsible! It's not like this happens everyday, y'know!

[ ONE MOMENT, PLEASE HOLD. *elevator music* ]

Oh, really? Well, what about most holidays?

[BRB JAMMING TO THE ELEVATOR MUSIC.]

...I've only been around here for a few holidays, Junpei.

[ /sneaks away quietly.... ]

Oh. Right, I forgot, you haven't been here as long.

Doesn't mean that your holiday partying might not get out of hand, though.

[OI OI DOES SHE KNOW ABOUT YOUR COSTUME.]

Oh no, it won't! For one thing, I never had a single drop of alcohol!

[ ... /running now ]

I hope not. You're not even legally allowed to drink yet, are you?

I'm eighteen! I...think I'm already allowed? Maybe in some countries?

What about in this country?

[ Because he...actually has no idea about the drinking laws here. ]

How should I know?! Does this place even have drinking laws?

...You know, I've actually never checked. I would assume so, though - I doubt they'd let kids drink at bars.

I mean, they probably wouldn't have enough money to pay the tab.

You never know. They let kids have jobs here, remember?

That's true. A country without child labor laws might not police drinking, either. I wonder what their police force even does.

From what I heard, it does almost nothing.

That's....reassuring. It's probably a good thing that there don't seem to be many real criminals here.

Yeah...but that's not gonna stop more from coming. I think I heard that the penalties are pretty much the same for every crime.

...Man, this place has a pretty messed up legal system. I mean, who came up with that idea?

The same person who thought it was a good idea to drag us all into this, probably.

We should stage a revolt.

A revolt?

You know, against whoever's running this place. To show them that we're not gonna take it anymore.

But we don't even know who's running this place!

Doesn't mean we can't cause a commotion. It'll get their attention, at least.

[ video | filtered ] At least she has a jacket?

[ video | filtered ] But...really short skirt...

[ video | filtered ] Santa survived with a flimsy tank top?

[ video | filtered ] True, at least he was wearing pants with that.

[ video | filtered ] But see, it evens out. Each would have half their body freezing.

[ video | filtered ] They probably also rigged the freezer so it wouldn't get too cold?

[ video | filtered ] That would make sense. Otherwise, bad planning on their part.

[ video | filtered ] I know, right? PLAN ALL THE THINGS.

[ video | filtered ] SEE, IT PAYS TO BE A PERFECTIONIST.

[ video | filtered ] THEY PROBABLY HAD GOOD GRADES IN SCHOOL AND STUFF TOO.

[ video | filtered ] CONSIDERING THIS GAME IS BASICALLY "8 GENIUSES AND SEVEN ON A BOAT", PROBABLY

[ video | filtered ] THEY HAD TIME TO TALK ABOUT STUFF LIKE SOCKS AND THESEUS' SHIPS

[ video | filtered ] AND JUNPEI WAS ALL "UM YEAH THAT'S NICE BUT LET'S FOCUS ON GETTING OUT OF HERE"

[ video | filtered ] BUT DON'T YOU WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THAT EXPERIMENT NINE YEARS AGO

[ video | filtered ] YES BUT CAN'T WE SKIP ALL THE RANDOM METAPHYSICAL TANGENTS THAT COME BEFORE

[ video | filtered ] NOPE.JPG. And we get to cheer for pipes.

[ video | filtered ] well, at least pipe cheers are useful and relevant. like ladder puns.

[ video | filtered ]

[ video | filtered ]

[ video | filtered ]

[ video | filtered ]

[ video | filtered ] ALSO ladder puns are amazing and I'm so glad they dumped some even into AAI

[ video | filtered ] ...WAIT there were ladder puns in AAI? How did I miss those...?

[ video | filtered ] There's a ladder in the last case. Examine it. =3

[ video | filtered ] Is it relatively early on? That case irked me a little...mainly Alba, though.

[ video | filtered ] That's understandable because HE WON'T STOP OBJECTING. Umm, I think it's early?

[ video | filtered ] I WANTED TO PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE BY THE EnD OF IT ALL.

[ video | filtered ] EVERYONE DID.
