And while neither Venkman or Egon are happy about this, there is a little silver lining...
They have four eggs that are all on the brink of hatching.
The real question is if Egon's even noticed that fact, yet- because Venkman sure as hell hasn't.]
no subject
He's completely forgotten about the eggs under Bond's care, which means it's a great time for them to start hatching. A small crack has appeared on the Morelull egg, and a small, pale tendril has extended out from it, feeling around.
Spengler is sitting completely still at his desk, bagel in hand. He seems to be staring right down at the notebook on the desk, facing away from Peter.
He's been there for hours.]
no subject
Right now, he's at least awake, though he's still in bed and clinging to Ray.
As for the eggs, the Alolan Vulpix only has minor cracks in the egg, but the Elgyem has a hole large enough to stick its hand through. The egg wriggles, and Bond peers down at her little clutch, chirruping to herself. She squawks once in an effort to gain Egon and Venkman's attention- Venkman ignores it.]
no subject
As little sleep that Egon gets normally, he's been up for almost five days straight. Which means eventually, his body is going to force him into the realm of unconsiousness, whether he likes it or not.
Slowly, ever so slowly, Egon starts slumping over in his chair and his head hits the desk with a loud thud.]
no subject
She preens at her primary feathers and watches as the Elgyem egg is engulfed with light.
...]
'🌑...🌒...🌓...🌔...🌕❗ 🔥🎇💥❓'
[Bond ruffles her feathers slightly at the psychic barrage of sensations. She chirps a hello in response, and the Elgyem sends over further feelings of warmth, blinking kindly up at her.
The extent of the baby's influence probably can't reach the bedroom with Egon and Venkman, but if Egon happens to have any other Pokemon in the room with Bond and the eggs...]
no subject
The unfamiliar psychic touch causes her to let out a confused burble as she reaches out a metaphorical hand towards the source, turning to see--oh! She blinks, then starts chirping and bubbling excitedly. Another baby!!! She's so lucky to be able to talk to so many new babies!!!
She sends a feeling of gentle enthusiasm and wonder, intermingled with plenty of abstract thoughts--psychic baby talk. It'd be better than just coming out swinging in "English".]
👋 hi!!! 👋 you're 👶 baby!! i'm 👶 ⚛️ baby!!! 🤯🧠 you're 💭 thinking, too!!! 🤗🤗🤗
no subject
[The Elgyem wriggles out from under Bond and hops off the couch to the floor. She's very wobbly on her feet, but she can't quite hover, yet, so it'll do. She watches Ko float around and raises her hands, the lights blinking excitedly. Ko will feel a wave of excited emotional sensations, all tinged with warmth.]
no subject
💖🙌 hi baby!!!! 👓👔 and 💥💬 . wait here
[And then she zooms off to the other room to go headbutt herself against Venkman as hard as possible. For some reason, Egon's asleep. Weird! She never sees him asleep.]
no subject
'🙂❕ 👓❓ 💬❓'
[Her lights blink red in surprise as Ko nyooms away, and she takes a couple steps to follow before she comprehends what "wait" means. Wait = ✋🚶🚫. She can do that!
Venkman, meanwhile, cries out in alarm when the baby slams into the back of his head.]
What- what're you- what's happening?
no subject
[She nibbles on Venkman's hair and starts trying to drag him out of the room. Egon is still unresponsive, though Venkman might hear faint snoring.
It's fine.
Meanwhile, another crack has appeared on the egg, with a few mushrooms sprouting out of it as the Morelull tries to wiggles out. The hole is still too small, but he's trying his best.]
no subject
[He squints, trying to sort through the barrage of mental activity he's getting bombarded with. He gasps and grabs Kölliker in both hands.]
Shit, the eggs- wait, no, forget I said that.
[Venkman glances over guiltily at Egon, and briefly panics to find him passed out, too- oh God is Ray's coma shit spreading- but the snoring is enough to set him at ease. He pulls himself out of bed and follows Ko to go see a Baby.
The Alolan Vulpix egg is still chilling- a few new cracks, but nothing too major.]
no subject
[Her "voice" sounds kind of impish and petulant--like a child that's about to tattletale on someone else. Still, she flies back to the Elgyem and hovers by her, burbling excitedly.]
she's baby!!! think baby!!! say hi baby 💬💥💖🙌💖💖🤗👨👨👧👧
no subject
[Before the absurdity of that really sinks in, Venkman's mind gets inundated with feelings of surprise, excitement, and warmth, and he stops dead in his tracks.]
'😮👋💬❕ 👍☉🎉🎊🔆❕'
Oh- the alien baby-
'👽❓'
[Venkman nods, a little dazed. Trying to translate this stuff in his head is confusing, but at least it's not too complex yet.]
no subject
[Kölliker seems confused by this. Glasses serious dad said that aliens don't exist, but baby exists! So what is the truth, loud fun dad?
...Oh! She turns her attention back to baby, floating close to her.]
name? i'm Kölliker
[Accompanied with her "saying" her name are various memories and emotions associated with when she first hatched and interacted with Egon--excitement, the feeling of accomplishment when you solve a puzzle you've been working for hours on, curiosity, and stoicism.]
no subject
[Just because Venkman apparently can't corrupt Ko by teaching her swears anymore, doesn't mean he can't still "corrupt" her.]
'⚛️🧠🧩👶❗'
Right, names- you don't have a name yet...
'👽❗'
[The Elgyem points at herself and tilts her head.]
I'm not just gonna call you "alien".
[There's a pause, and Venkman winces at the feeling of something probing the edges of his mind and memory. He rubs at his temples and moves to sit on the floor, legs crossed.]
Warn a guy first, kid-
'👽🛸👾... 👩🚀🚀❗'
... Huh.
no subject
Egon stumbles out of the bedroom, trying to look as though he literally didn't just fall asleep at his desk. His glasses are askew as he glances back and forth between Venkman and the baby Pokémon. His eyebrows furrow together.]
I'm...did I miss something?
[Kölliker perks up and turns her attention to the dad that just entered the room. Hi! New baby! So many new babies today!
Egon frowns, looking down at Venkman sitting on the ground before also going to sit next to him. When in Rome....]
no subject
Ok, no, how about we don't invade Dad's privacy and give him a complex about little aliens digging through his brain.
He turns his head to look up at Egon as he approaches, grinning.]
Oh, you didn't miss much, just the birth of our child. No big deal.
no subject
alien!!!!!!!!
Please, Kölliker. If this was an alien, it would have originated from an extraterrestrial source. This creature clearly hatched from an egg native to this dimension.
[He then turns to Venkman, fixing his glasses as he frowns.]
I don't suppose you've been the one telling her this.
no subject
Instead of answering outright, Venkman pulls out his Pokegear and taps a few buttons. The gear beeps and offers the Pokedex entries for Elgyem-]
"This Pokémon had never been seen until it appeared from far in the desert 50 years ago. ... Rumors of its origin are linked to a UFO crash site in the desert 50 years ago."
What were you saying, Egon?
no subject
Just because it was linked to a supposed UFO crash does not mean that they originated from supposed extraterrestrial life. It could be that the crash of an asteroid simulated certain organisms enough to emerge from the earth.
[Don't even get him started on this. Venkman knows how this will end. Kölliker blinks, apparently confused.]
Did you even come up with a name for this creature, yet?
no subject
He leans over to kiss Egon on the cheek.]
Yeah, yeah, ok. But the theory is there, isn't it? And you can't dispute the possibility, especially since this is another universe that abides by different rules, right?
I was working on it when you came in. Think I'm going with... Sigourney.
[The Elgyem tilts her head, and floods both Egon and Venkman's minds with images from the movie Alien, plucked from Venkman's own head... and images from a different movie, as well, with the same actress.]
Yeah, thanks.
no subject
Egon moves to grip Venkman's hand when his brain gets assaulted with various images and snapshots. He barely has a moment to register the pictures from Alien when--
He pulls back, looking down at the Elgyem.]
Hang on--that was Dana Barrett. Why was she--? [He shakes his head and tries again.] That movie that Peter and Ray--my dimensional Peter and Ray brought, she--
[He trails off, staring straight off into the distance. He doesn't appear to make any effort to continue as his brain just tries to wrap around what he just saw.]
no subject
[Venkman makes a "time out" gesture with his hands. The newly-christened Sigourney mimics it.]
You didn't have the movie based on the Gozer event. But you recognized Dana on sight from my memory of watching the movie. Dana- the real Dana in my world- she looked pretty similar, but not, like, spitting-image to Sigourney Weaver.
Egon, what does that mean.
no subject
And then--]
Who's Sigourney Weaver?
no subject
[That's obviously the real take-away here. But, no, because now Sig's digging through both their memories, and Venkman's own side of the Gozer incident- his own of his loved ones [and Louis]- are brought to light and appear in Egon's own mind. Egon finally gets to see his counterpart's pompadour for himself.]
I thought- I remember thinking you looked a lot like the, the guy who played Egon in the movie adaptation, but I haven't seen it in years and I thought it was, I dunno, a coincidence-
[As if on cue, memories of watching the movie flash in both their minds, and hoo boy, yeah, Harold Ramis is just the spitting goddamn image of this Egon.]
What the fuck-
[Not wanting Venkman to be left out, Sig transplants memories of Egon's dimension's version of Venkman, and he nearly chokes.]
BILL MURRAY?! YOU MEAN I WAS RIGHT ABOUT- oh my GOD, Egie, I'm so sorry your version of me is him.
