  1. [ 07:58:32 ] [ ~zoofman ] OKAY, SATURDAY THE 27ND. Time to leave Red Blade for now, woooo - you guys woke up to a bit of a surprise!
  2. [ 07:58:41 ] [ ~zoofman ] Those eggs hatched!
  3. [ 07:59:33 ] [ ~zoofman ] Saryx and Genevieve each were waken up to the sound of their eggs wobbling and cracking!
  4. [ 08:01:00 ] [ Saryx ] Oh, did they now? With shaking, cracking eggshells, Saryx advances to his egg, eagerly awaiting just what kind of adorable little 'horrorterror' is gonna emerge from within.
  5. [ 08:02:26 ] [ ~zoofman ] After a bit, out pokes the black snout of...
  6. [ 08:02:38 ]  · · Nick : Domovoi : [ Genevieve ]
  7. [ 08:03:08 ] [ Genevieve ] The snout of what?
  8. [ 08:03:39 ] [ ~zoofman ] an artic fox. It looks up to Saryx and barks "vul!"
  9. [ 08:03:57 ] [ ~zoofman ] Genevieve's, egg, on the other hand, has a beack pecking its way out!
  10. [ 08:04:15 ] [ Genevieve ] "Aw yeah, peck your way to freedom!"
  11. [ 08:05:52 ] [ ~zoofman ] Genevieve's bursts out of its egg after a bit with some kicking and chirping, it sorta looks like a Torchic with the features of an artic owl. It cheep cheeps as it notices Genevieve and hops around her excitedly
  12. [ 08:06:02 ] ! Chase gets up a bit bleary, looking over at the egg hatching with Saryx. "Oh, 's'it time?"
  13. [ 08:06:58 ] [ Saryx ] "Hey... Hey Chase!" Saryx whispers over at the dude, hopefully not awaken--Oh, he's already awake. "... Yeah, come over here and take a look!" He's talking not too loud so as to not scare the thing. "I've never seen anything like this before!"
  14. [ 08:07:12 ] ! Rosetta rubs her eyes, woken by Gen's exclamation. "What's the big d- ohh." She hops over. "Shiny."
  15. [ 08:07:34 ] ! Chase yawns and shuffles out of his bunk to take a look. "Huh."
  16. [ 08:07:37 ] [ Genevieve ] "Hey baby, come here~" Gen picks up the Archic and holds it in her arms.
  17. [ 08:08:12 ] [ Chase ] "Special bred vulpix're somethin?"
  18. [ 08:08:15 ] [ Saryx ] Slowly, he reaches a hand out towards the newborn Vulpix, with intent to pet her. "Morning, there~"
  19. [ 08:08:26 ] [ ~zoofman ] It snuggles up against you, sorta chilly to the touch. The Vulpix slowly makes its way out of its shell and sits in front of Saryx, then stretches and yawns.
  20. [ 08:08:30 ] [ Chase ] "Kent knows how to pick his mystery boxes." Yaaaaawn.
  21. [ 08:09:12 ] [ Genevieve ] "Definitely, that's why it's always the best option."
  22. [ 08:09:30 ] [ Rosetta ] "Whatcha gonna name him?...her?"
  23. [ 08:10:01 ] [ Saryx ] "You're telling me~ I really gotta thank him proper the next chance we get!" He lets out a little bit of a yawn himself not too long after Chase.
  24. [ 08:10:05 ] ! Chase can't help but smile a bit before he gets dressed for the day.
  25. [ 08:10:52 ] [ ~zoofman ] The Vulpix tries to curl up next to you. It is just a pop, after all.
  26. [ 08:12:08 ] [ Genevieve ] "Hmm, I'll need time to think of one, but he's just a baby, doesn't need too many other labels."
  27. [ 08:12:55 ] [ ~zoofman ] A bit after that, least enough time for you guys to get dressed, there's a knock on your suite door.
  28. [ 08:12:57 ] [ Saryx ] Saryx has no problems with this whatsoever. He's a bit surprised by how cold the thing is, but it doesn't stop him from showering his newborn baby with all the affection she could possibly need right then and there, and then some.
  29. [ 08:13:11 ] [ Rosetta ] "Fair enough!" Rosetta stretches and goes to do her morning routine.
  30. [ 08:13:21 ] [ Chase ] "Sup?" he opens the door, to see who it is.
  31. [ 08:14:16 ] [ Rosetta ] "Innamoment!" Rosetta goes to answer the door, toothbrush hanging out of her mouth.
  32. [ 08:15:36 ] [ ~zoofman ] Peyote's standing there, Hawaiian shirted up, sunglasses on, has a suitcase with him. "Mornin'."
  33. [ 08:16:04 ] [ Genevieve ] "Good morning. Are you coming with us?"
  34. [ 08:16:38 ] [ Rosetta ] Chase gets there first though, so Rosetta takes a moment to dash back to the bathroom and get a quick rinse before zipping back to Peyote again.
  35. [ 08:16:59 ] [ Rosetta ] "Is it time to leave already?"
  36. [ 08:16:59 ] [ ~zoofman ] "Sorta. Got a message from Lil' sayin' she'll meet ya'll at Red Port. Which is where I gotta be this time o' day anyway, so."
  37. [ 08:17:12 ] [ ~zoofman ] "Figured I'd catch the train over wit cha."
  38. [ 08:17:50 ] [ Chase ] "Sounds good, then." he streeeetches. "Well, I'm ready. What about y'all?"
  39. [ 08:19:10 ] [ Rosetta ] "I'd like breakfast, but I can just get something on the way." Rosetta tugs her hoodie strings and snatches up her backpack with a spin in place.
  40. [ 08:19:15 ] [ Genevieve ] "Should be, just gotta grab my bag and I'm ready."
  41. [ 08:19:28 ]  · · Quits : Aori_Radidjiu [ Revolution@6E60E480.4AD970E4.D89482D8.IP ] : [ Ping timeout ]
  42. [ 08:20:05 ] [ Saryx ] "About the same here!"
  43. [ 08:20:40 ] [ Chase ] "I'll just grab a soda or something."
  44. [ 08:20:59 ] [ ~zoofman ] "How many sodas ya'll fools got?"
  45. [ 08:21:20 ] [ ~zoofman ] "Man at this rate might as well name yo'selves Splenda."
  46. [ 08:21:51 ] ! Rosetta narrows her eyes. "Diet soda is the devil."
  47. [ 08:22:06 ] [ Chase ] "Pffffff-speakin' of, we should probably decide on our name soon, huh?"
  48. [ 08:22:19 ] [ Saryx ] He's wrapping up the babby Vulpix in a sweater like a makeshift blanket. "She said she was bringing sodas. Idunno about the rest of you, but I didn't think she was buying for the whole year when she said that!" He pops open his cooler to prove a point, which is kind of half-full with his shit and the rest with all her sodas.
  49. [ 08:22:35 ] ! Chase grabs one while the lid's open.
  50. [ 08:23:12 ] [ Saryx ] ... Okay, not all of them, but definitely a sizable portion. 'cause damnit she has a lotta sodas.
  51. [ 08:23:35 ] ! Rosetta grabs one as well, cracking it open on the spot. "One hundred percent cane sugar in these."
  52. [ 08:23:38 ] [ ~zoofman ] He waits for you guys to get your stuff together before you all head off, notices the fox though. "Dem eggs hatch? He always gets hella neat ones. Imagine if any of ya'll wanted the TM it'll be a bit longer. This week sorta threw that allll outa whack."
  53. [ 08:24:26 ] ! Rosetta shrugs. "Not too surprised." Glug glug glug.
  54. [ 08:24:31 ] [ Rosetta ] "We'll live, yeah?"
  55. [ 08:24:32 ] [ Chase ] "No problem, man. I'm looking forward to just seein' what it is." he grins. "Now that our teams are startin' to round out this is gonna start to really pick up."
  56. [ 08:24:36 ] [ ~zoofman ] "Well fine then you's the sugacubes."
  57. [ 08:25:24 ] [ Genevieve ] "Yes, they did! Born with completely different types than normal, it's pretty amazing, but slightly outside my field."
  58. [ 08:25:30 ] ! Chase cracks open his own Dr. Pelipper. "Hell, nah, Peyote."
  59. [ 08:25:31 ] ! Saryx nods, waaay excitedly. "Adorable on top of that, too, Mr. Jones!"
  60. [ 08:26:46 ] [ Chase ] "We better get a move on. Wouldn't do to keep someone as cute as Dr. Vai waiting, right?"
  61. [ 08:26:48 ] [ ~zoofman ] "Nice. Ain't easy to get an ice type without a bit of pokin' around so it's a pretty swag chance to get a neat one!"

  63. [ 08:27:48 ]  · · Quits : Giantree [ Giantree@sux-49017E78.dyn.centurytel.net ] : [ Ping timeout ]
  64. [ 08:28:01 ] [ ~zoofman ] Peyote laughs as you guys get a move on. "You got no idea, Chase."
  65. [ 08:29:22 ] [ ~zoofman ] It's a pretty warm day outside, not too humid either. You all make your way down to the train station easily enough. There's a small diner next to the boarding platform where you can snag some breakfast as you wait.
  66. [ 08:30:31 ] ! Genevieve grabs a breakfast burrito, which she eats with one hand while still supporting the baby bird with her other arm.
  67. [ 08:30:48 ] ! Chase grabs something light, despite what he said earlier. Maybe an orange and a piece of toast or something.
  68. [ 08:31:01 ] [ ~zoofman ] Chase, you see Nick standing around, looks like he'd been waiting for you.
  69. [ 08:31:03 ] [ Rosetta ] "Hey, I've still gotta say bye to Annette. The Moon Wardens gonna be down at the port too or no?" Rosetta munches on a bagel with a significant amount of cream cheese spread over it.
  70. [ 08:31:19 ]  · · Joins : Aori_Radidjiu [ Revolution@sux-C04F513.dsl.sbndin.sbcglobal.net ]
  71. [ 08:31:31 ] [ ~zoofman ] Peyote nods as he noms a muffin. "They headed on down bit earlier. Got their own ship they gotta get prepped."
  72. [ 08:31:37 ] [ ~zoofman ] "Ya'll should catch em' on the way out."
  73. [ 08:31:53 ] [ Chase ] "Hey, Nick! Sup, bro? You here to see me off? Shit, I really meant to hang with you guys more next time I was in Red Blade..."
  74. [ 08:32:36 ] [ Rosetta ] "Gotcha." Rosetta takes another bite of the bagel then reaches in her bag and takes out a package of mixed nuts, pouring out a handful to eat as she walks.
  75. [ 08:32:40 ] [ ~zoofman ] He jumps a bit as you call out to him. "Oh shit Chase! Was thinking I may have missed you..."
  76. [ 08:33:08 ] [ Chase ] "What's up, man?" he approaches his friend.
  77. [ 08:33:34 ] [ Saryx ] "Yuh don't fink she's too mad iht me fruhm last night, duh yuh?" Saryx tries to ask through a waffle in his mouth.
  78. [ 08:33:52 ] [ ~zoofman ] "Eh I wouldn't sweat that too much. Was basically here to tell ya the General seems he's got a job he might ask us to do, something easier for a few civs like ourselves who don't stand out much to do. Basically get to write it off as a tour of the region. Heh."
  79. [ 08:34:07 ] [ Rosetta ] "She'll probably hate you forever." Rosetta says nonchalantly, popping another few almonds into her mouth.
  80. [ 08:34:15 ] [ ~zoofman ] "We're thinking of taking it, so you'll probably see us around."
  81. [ 08:35:36 ] [ ~zoofman ] The train pulls up about then, and the conductors step off as passengers make their exits.
  82. [ 08:35:46 ] ! Saryx deflates. "... Oh..." He stops to swallow what's in his mouth. "I didn't mean anything bad from that, you know. Was just trying to cheer her up some! That... Didn't go as well as I'd hoped it would've."
  83. [ 08:36:22 ] [ Rosetta ] "I wonder if you'll get to meet Teddy." Rosetta ponders.
  84. [ 08:36:36 ] [ Genevieve ] "Who's Teddy?"
  85. [ 08:36:47 ] [ Chase ] He's really surprised at that. "What, seriously? Well, shit, that sounds good! I hope to see you guys, then. And if you guys are playing, I'll try to fill in my old spot when I can..."
  86. [ 08:37:14 ] [ Saryx ] "... I don't... Think I want to. Not after what Dahlia said about him... Her... It. ... I didn't catch what Teddy was."
  87. [ 08:37:51 ] [ Rosetta ] "Annette's...uh, actually I don't really know! It's a ghost Pokemon of some sort she keeps in her teddy bear." Rosetta takes out a large brazil nut before continuing. "And he ate one of the General's Delibirds." She pops the nut in her mouth in demonstration.
  88. [ 08:38:02 ] [ ~zoofman ] Nick laughs. "Would be rad wouldn't it? But yeah, good luck out there. Kiara spent all night trying to explain whatever crazyness you guys are involved in. Made a bit more sense after a handle of rum, but still don't quite get it!"
  89. [ 08:38:19 ] [ ~zoofman ] "Anyway that's your ride out ain't it? Stay safe out there," he goes for a fist bump.
  90. [ 08:38:22 ] [ Genevieve ] "Who wouldn't eat a Delibird though?"
  91. [ 08:38:48 ] [ Saryx ] "Apparently it swallowed the thing live AND whole."
  92. [ 08:38:57 ] ! Rosetta squints at Saryx. "Hmm, you're a bit bigger than a Delibird is..."
  93. [ 08:39:01 ] [ Chase ] "Yeah man, I don't even know either. Anyway, yeah, guess it is. Seeya, bro.." he fist bumps Nick. "Take care of everyone for me, aight?"
  94. [ 08:39:30 ] [ ~zoofman ] "Will do," he nods. Peyote's already stepping on. "Ya'll niggas comin?"
  95. [ 08:39:46 ] ! Genevieve wolfs down the rest of the burrito and points to the train. "We guhtta guh."
  96. [ 08:39:53 ] ! Chase looks over at Peyote and nods at Nick, grabbing his guitar strap and hurrying over to the train.
  97. [ 08:40:38 ] ! Rosetta hops to attention like a Natu, then 'ports onto the train with her stuff.
  98. [ 08:41:32 ] [ Saryx ] "On our way, Mr. Jones!" Saryx pops out Surt to watch over his little 'pix while he gets the cooler on board before herding the both of 'em inside.
  99. [ 08:42:25 ] [ ~zoofman ] It's a fairly short train ride over as the wilds sorta blaze past you. About fifteen minutes later it stops at Red Port, and the doors open for you all to step off.
  100. [ 08:42:41 ] [ ~zoofman ] Peyote shuffles off and just stands around on the boarding platform, watching the sky.
  101. [ 08:43:25 ] [ Chase ] "Still can't believe those guys jumped off with the train going that fast."
  102. [ 08:43:48 ] [ Genevieve ] "They didn't seem like they really knew what they were doing most of the time."
  103. [ 08:43:49 ] ! Chase glances around the platform, looking for the chick from yesterday.
  104. [ 08:43:53 ] ! Rosetta hops off and stretches.
  105. [ 08:44:09 ] [ ~zoofman ] "Desperate folks do some dumb shit sometimes."
  106. [ 08:44:22 ] [ Chase ] "Yeah..."
  107. [ 08:45:42 ] ! Lilith is waiting just outside of the station gates, with a Drifblim hovering over her. Slung under one arm is a picnic basket and a blue gym bag stuffed to bursting; the other is struggling to hold onto a hyperactive Gible.
  108. [ 08:45:44 ] [ Saryx ] "They really did wanna get their cousin back something bad. I don't blame them for doing it." ... If cousin's not the right word, well, Bothy's an idiot. Saryx woulda said the right family relation.
  109. [ 08:46:35 ] [ ~zoofman ] Peyote looks back down. "Oh, there she is. Aye Lil!" He waves over to her
  110. [ 08:46:52 ] [ Rosetta ] "Takes guts though. Who knows? Maybe with training they'll end up pretty helpful to the Bastards." She shrugs and pops the rest of the mixed nuts into her mouth, then pats her hands clean.
  111. [ 08:47:37 ] ! Lilith -would- wave back, but putting down anything she's holding would probably result in disaster. "Peyote, you card! Get over here so I can get back to my day off!"
  112. [ 08:48:16 ] [ ~zoofman ] "What! Man least you -get- days off! You think they'd hire someone local to be out here but noooooo."
  113. [ 08:48:22 ] [ ~zoofman ] CLOSE UP OF LIL http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/3tbx0y/
  114. [ 08:48:50 ] [ Lilith ] "I packed for the road, at least."
  115. [ 08:49:28 ] [ Lilith ] "Haven't heard too much aout what your buddies here need to do aside from finding Mister Horndog and Mister Sunshine and Cherrims."
  116. [ 08:50:49 ] [ ~zoofman ] "I'll send the briefin' we got ready fo' it when I get to a PC. It's some heavy shit, these here are the..." He looks over to you all. "Well don't think they got a name quite yet."
  117. [ 08:51:01 ] ! Chase checks her out a bit as they approach, and offers his hand. "Dr. Vai? We were on the conference call last night. My name's Chase Violet."
  118. [ 08:51:07 ] [ Lilith ] "Only got some of your names, yeah."
  119. [ 08:52:05 ] [ Genevieve ] "Doctor Genevieve Webb. Cute dragon, by the way."
  120. [ 08:52:25 ] [ Lilith ] "Thanks! Dedekind's friendly and loves people. Always hungry, though."
  121. [ 08:52:40 ] [ Lilith ] "You can hold him if you want, but it seems you've got your hands full already."
  122. [ 08:52:55 ] [ Rosetta ] "Hi! I'm Rosetta Whitacre."
  123. [ 08:53:22 ] [ ~zoofman ] The Gible is wraggling around like the little ball of energy it is, but eeps a bit when it sees Ice types and freezes up.
  124. [ 08:53:46 ] [ Lilith ] "Heeeeey, they aren't too bad. Promise."
  125. [ 08:54:07 ] [ Saryx ] "Saryx here~ Real nice meeting you, Dr. Vai!" He's got his hands kinda full with babby, too, so he just tries to wave.
  126. [ 08:54:08 ] [ Genevieve ] "This one's just a baby, I don't think he can hurt you regardless, so play nice."
  127. [ 08:54:39 ] [ Lilith ] "Ded's pretty young, too."
  128. [ 08:55:16 ] [ ~zoofman ] Doesn't stop the Torchic from giving it a challenging glance. It cheeps in a more friendly manner at Genevieve's request, though. The Vulpix seems more just shocked with the world.
  129. [ 08:55:31 ] [ ~zoofman ] Peyote looks over everything. "Anyway, you need anythin' before I head to the office?"
  130. [ 08:55:37 ] [ Lilith ] "I -think- that's all the formalities we need to trudge through. We can shove off at the port pretty much whenever we want, as soon as I recognize that SOMEONE here owes me a favor."
  131. [ 08:55:45 ] [ Lilith ] "By which I mean a mode of transportation."
  132. [ 08:56:00 ] [ Lilith ] "Before I reveal his Wailord's hilarious crush on my friend's Skitty. Or something."
  133. [ 08:56:02 ] [ ~zoofman ] "..."
  134. [ 08:56:32 ] [ Lilith ] "That means you, buddy. I study this stuff, and I know how the favor economy works."
  135. [ 08:56:46 ] ! Saryx glances about, confused. And then just... Well, this is awkward, isn't it? He tries to cover the Vulpix' ears, albeit a bit too late for that.
  136. [ 08:57:00 ] [ ~zoofman ] "Maaaaan," Peyote hands over an Ultraball from his suitcase. "You always gotta bring up that ONE TIME. Thought we were past that fiasco at the League Ball last year."
  137. [ 08:57:02 ] [ Rosetta ] "So how many sodas would that favor be?"
  138. [ 08:57:29 ] [ Lilith ] "Probably about 36 Dr. Pelippers."
  139. [ 08:57:41 ] [ Lilith ] "Theexchange rate's kinda in flux, though."
  140. [ 08:58:08 ] ! Lilith balances the Ultra Ball on her arm. "I'll take good care of him, honest. I'll bring him back tonight."
  141. [ 08:58:26 ] ! Rosetta nod nods. "So that's also like a pizza or a pizza and a half, depending on where you order from, yeah?"
  142. [ 08:58:27 ] [ ~zoofman ] "Fine, I trust you nough with Thundachunks though. G'luck ya'll," he says as he hoists himself off to the league office before Lillith can bring up any other silly memories.
  143. [ 08:59:32 ] [ Lilith ] "Pretty much! You've got the hang of it." She kinda -throws- the Ultra Ball up in the air for her Drifblim to catch. "Whenever you guys are ready, we'll head out. Maybe chat over breakfast."
  144. [ 09:00:00 ] [ Lilith ] "Brought pancakes, waffles, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, and tortillas."
  145. [ 09:00:08 ] [ Genevieve ] "We mostly ate before we took the train over..."
  146. [ 09:00:16 ] [ Rosetta ] "I just gotta say bye to a friend at the port, then I'm all set to go."
  147. [ 09:00:27 ] [ Lilith ] "Really? Dammit! I spent all morning on this!"
  148. [ 09:00:34 ] [ Lilith ] "Oh, well. More for Dedekind, I guess."
  149. [ 09:01:02 ] [ ~zoofman ] The Gible likes the sound of this, and claws at the basket with his little stubby arms
  150. [ 09:01:12 ] [ Genevieve ] "No reason not to just bump the meal back a bit, make it lunch instead."
  151. [ 09:01:36 ] [ Lilith ] "Works too." She looks down at the babbydragon. "Sorry, bud. Normal portions for you."
  152. [ 09:02:01 ] [ ~zoofman ] It seems to deflate a bit :<
  153. [ 09:02:13 ] ! Lilith marches off towards the port, with the ghostballoon gesturings vaguely towards the group, mostly offering to carry anything.
  154. [ 09:02:17 ] [ Saryx ] "Yeah! I don't think it's gonna all go bad by the time lunch comes around, is it?" And poor Gible :< We broke its little heart.
  155. [ 09:03:34 ] ! Rosetta follows Lil and her ghost, hands shoved into her hoodie pockets.
  156. [ 09:04:42 ] [ ~zoofman ] At the port side, you see a lot of recreational boat rentals and such, and one that stands out a lot.
  157. [ 09:04:53 ] ! Saryx follows along in tow, though he tries to keep pace with Lil to talk to the Gible. "Hey, come on, now! Don't be sad! I'll share some of mine with you, okay?"
  158. [ 09:05:00 ] ! Chase walks along with everyone, lost in thought a moment.
  159. [ 09:05:44 ] [ ~zoofman ] It's a bit larger vessel, seems quite comfortable for living on as well. 'Lunar Blessing' scrawled across the hull with a full moon and cresent moon on either end of it.
  160. [ 09:06:29 ] [ Genevieve ] "That the Moon Wardens'?"
  161. [ 09:06:32 ] [ ~zoofman ] There's a familiar man standing on board coiling some ropes looks over to you. "SUP' BROFASAS."
  162. [ 09:06:51 ] ! Rosetta takes a look across the port for a second, then hops to face the Lunar Blessing and jogs off toward it.
  163. [ 09:07:16 ] [ ~zoofman ] God this guy is loud all the tourists stare in his direction for a bit
  164. [ 09:07:45 ] [ Chase ] "Yeesh. Uproar doesn't even need a mic when he's on stage..."
  165. [ 09:09:53 ] [ ~zoofman ] He looks down at Rosetta. "YOU ANNETTE'S BEE EEF EEF OR SOMETHIN' RIGHT?"
  166. [ 09:09:53 ] [ Saryx ] Saryx stops to rub at his inner ear with a retracted pinky. ... Not really sure how to verbalize that gesture proper. "You're telling me!" He's quick to follow Rose up on deck afterwards, though!
  167. [ 09:10:49 ] [ Rosetta ] "Yeah!" Rosetta stops to look around.
  168. [ 09:11:22 ] [ Rosetta ] "She doin' okay? She miiiight've had a bit much to drink."
  169. [ 09:12:45 ] [ ~zoofman ] Miracle Eye walks above deck a bit after. Sorta hard to avoid the sound. "Good morning. She's got a bit of a hangover, but should be fine."

  174. [ 09:14:03 ] [ ~zoofman ] Miracle Eye nods and walks back under for a bit. "SHE BEST NOT HURL ON DECK. I JUST CLEANED THIS."
  175. [ 09:14:55 ] ! Chase hops onto the boat and finds a place to sit for the ride.
  176. [ 09:15:26 ] [ ~zoofman ] About a minute later Annette wobbles above deck and clings onto the railing. "Morning Rosetta..." She looks to Saryx. "And Buttface."
  177. [ 09:16:18 ] [ Rosetta ] "G'morning Annette!" Rosetta trots up and puts both hands on her shoulders. "Hey, you don't look too bad at all."
  178. [ 09:17:13 ] [ Saryx ] "Hey there, Miracle!" Saryx chimes over to her gleefully. Aaaand then Annette. "... Hey, Annette!" He frowns at being called Buttface, though. "... I'm sorry about last night. Really, I am. I just didn't want to see you all sad last night, so I... Thought that'd cheer you up some. Didn't think you were gonna freak out as bad as you did over me tickling you..."
  179. [ 09:17:38 ] [ ~zoofman ] She nods. "I'll be okay! Already made a little remedy for it. Just...hasn't kicked in."
  180. [ 09:18:17 ] [ ~zoofman ] "Mmmmm." She doesn't quite seem to trust your words, Saryx, "We'll see about that next time we meet then!"
  181. [ 09:19:20 ] [ Rosetta ] "A remedy, huh? Guess you really are gonna be a doctor then."
  182. [ 09:19:56 ] [ Genevieve ] "Hey, if you can invent an actual cure for a hangover, you'll be a medical superstar."
  183. [ 09:20:34 ] [ ~zoofman ] "SHIT ALL SHE DID WAS TAKE A SHOT OF -" Annette kicks him in the knees to get him to shush. :>
  184. [ 09:21:17 ] ! Rosetta laughs. "Yeah, that's one way to deal with a hangover."
  185. [ 09:21:50 ] [ ~zoofman ] "Miracle Eye says she has a good idea where to look for Njord, so when we're done there we'll probably head to meet you on White Chord!"
  186. [ 09:22:36 ] [ ~zoofman ] "Careful in the swamps though. It can get dangerous out there..."
  187. [ 09:22:49 ] ! Saryx frowns at Annette. "Ohhh... kay..." And then grimaces when she just outright kicks Uproar.
  188. [ 09:23:13 ] [ ~zoofman ] It's less a kick and more what you do under the table when someone's saying to much.
  189. [ 09:23:44 ] [ Rosetta ] "Shiny. We'll see ya there then. And don't worry about us - we'll manage."
  190. [ 09:23:51 ] [ Saryx ] Oh, disregard grimacing, then.
  191. [ 09:24:06 ] ! Lilith is busy prepping THUNDACHUNKS for transit.
  192. [ 09:24:12 ] [ ~zoofman ] WROOOOOOOOOOOO
  193. [ 09:24:25 ] [ ~zoofman ] The giant creature plomps into the water with a large splash!
  194. [ 09:24:40 ] [ Lilith ] "ALRIGHT THUNDACHUNKS"
  195. [ 09:24:43 ] [ ~zoofman ] It looks over to Lilith confused a bit at first but gets the gist of things, seems he recognizes her.
  196. [ 09:24:53 ] [ Lilith ] "WE HAVE A JOURNEY AHEAD OF US TO PLACES"
  197. [ 09:25:00 ] [ Lilith ] "DO IT FOR US"
  198. [ 09:25:05 ] [ Lilith ] "DO IT FOR YOUR HOT SKITTY WIFE"
  199. [ 09:25:11 ] [ Lilith ] "SASHA IS WAITING, MAN"
  200. [ 09:25:29 ] [ Saryx ] Not sure how far away from that Wailord we are, but Saryx is sure as all hell turning to keep the babby from getting drenched. Just as a pre-emptive. Poor Uproar if that messed up the deckswabbing, though.
  201. [ 09:25:42 ] [ ~zoofman ] Annette looks over to Thundachunks. "The Thunderc-...ocks are a bit odd but mean well! You really should invest in a boat when you get the chance to though..."
  202. [ 09:25:48 ] [ Rosetta ] "And hey," Rosetta looks like she's about to lean in to whisper something, then backs up, waving her hands. "nevermind, nevermind." She turns and gives Lil themost horrified confused look.
  203. [ 09:26:21 ] [ ~zoofman ] THUNDACHUNKS SEEMS QUITE ALARMED OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF SASHA
  204. [ 09:26:34 ] [ ~zoofman ] and then just wrrooooos as it waits for everyone to hop on.
  205. [ 09:27:20 ] [ Genevieve ] "Alright, Wailord surfing might be a little too high adventure for the first day of life." Gen taps the Torchic with a Pokeball to recall it before awkwardly getting on the whale.
  206. [ 09:28:10 ] ! Lilith hops on Thundachunks, sets a blanket down, and preps the picnic.
  207. [ 09:28:11 ] [ ~zoofman ] Uproar squints at Thundachunks. "I DON'T EVEN WANNA KNOW."
  208. [ 09:28:26 ] [ Rosetta ] "I, uh, I concur." Rosetta nods at Uproar.
  209. [ 09:28:26 ] [ Saryx ] "We'll see you guys around later, then!" Saryx takes Gen's cue and balls his babby before boarding the... Wait, are we going inside or on top of the Wailord?
  210. [ 09:28:37 ] [ ~zoofman ] It's sorta like a giant beach floaty! One that won't flip on you.
  211. [ 09:28:46 ] [ ~zoofman ] (on top you goofus)
  212. [ 09:29:44 ] [ Rosetta ] "Anyway, sorry we couldn't hang much Annette, but we'll see each other on the job sometime anyhow, yeah?" Rosetta gives the girl a quick hug then heads for the Wailord.
  213. [ 09:30:02 ] [ ~zoofman ] Annette hugs back "Yup!"
  214. [ 09:30:21 ] [ ~zoofman ] Miracle Eye comes back up above board during the commotion. She waves you off as well. "Good luck out there."
  215. [ 09:31:41 ] [ ~zoofman ] "PEACE NIGGAS." They all wave you off as Lilith gets that waillord revved up.
  216. [ 09:32:02 ] [ ~zoofman ] You can see Dahlia poke her head out a window and wave half heartedly before collapsing back to a nap.
  217. [ 09:32:39 ] [ Lilith ] Lil's Drifblim BRACES FOR MOTION as she finishes the setup. "And away we go!"
  218. [ 09:33:26 ] [ ~zoofman ] WROOOOOOOOO. The waillord starts sailing across the surface! Water splashes around you as it moves a bit like a jet ski! Surprisingly agile out here!
  219. [ 09:33:48 ] [ ~zoofman ] And give me 2 d100 rolls each!

  222. [ 09:34:24 ] [ Saryx ] Okay~ Saryx clambors atop the Wailord, and waves off the other butts. Kind of giggling at Dahlia as she turns into a tiny speck before their eyes. "Hey, Dr. Vai? Is it any safe to fish on Thundachunks from up here?"
  223. [ 09:34:26 ] [ Rosetta ] 2#1d100

  229. [ 09:35:32 ] [ Lilith ] "I never checked! The main problem is that there isn't much of an 'edge' to fish from."
  230. [ 09:35:54 ] [ Lilith ] "Anyway, I've got the usual array of breakfast foods, with some butter and maple syrup."
  231. [ 09:36:07 ] [ Lilith ] "Take what you want, and....ah, dammit, I think I forgot the drinks."
  232. [ 09:36:22 ] [ Rosetta ] "I brought soda. So much soda."
  233. [ 09:36:25 ] [ Genevieve ] "Oh we've got drinks covered."
  234. [ 09:36:26 ] [ Lilith ] 2#1d100 oh what the hell

  237. [ 09:37:02 ] [ Lilith ] "Soda's unusual for brunch, but sure, why not?"
  238. [ 09:37:19 ] [ Saryx ] "Can we start with what's in my cooler at least? I think I'm gonna need to start freeing up some space in there, soon."
  239. [ 09:37:44 ] [ Rosetta ] "Sure, sure."
  240. [ 09:37:59 ] [ Lilith ] "Tell me about yourselves, though. And what you plan to do once we get to PLACE."
  241. [ 09:38:38 ] [ ~zoofman ] As Thundachunks gets out to sea some he slows down to a more relaxing pace to counterout the waves.
  242. [ 09:39:17 ] [ Genevieve ] "Oh, you know, we're just your average Unown abduction survivors trying to stop a god-based apocalypse."
  243. [ 09:39:24 ] [ ~zoofman ] You notice a school of Finneon not far off, though after a bit a school of Carvanha and Goldeen appear as well, locked in chase with each other it seems.
  244. [ 09:39:32 ] [ Lilith ] "Peachy!"
  245. [ 09:39:51 ] ! Lilith seems legitimately untroubled by this.
  246. [ 09:40:36 ] [ Genevieve ] "Oh, fish!"
  247. [ 09:40:41 ] [ ~zoofman ] A Mantyke soars by briefly as it jumps from the water, and you also notice a school of Remoraids in the distance a bit.
  248. [ 09:40:56 ] [ Rosetta ] fishgun
  249. [ 09:41:17 ] [ ~zoofman ] It seems fairly safe to fish up anything, Saryx, at this pace.
  250. [ 09:41:18 ] ! Rosetta perks up and takes notice of the school of fishgun.
  251. [ 09:41:53 ] [ Rosetta ] "Uh, where should I start? I've been doing a lot of different things the past three years."
  252. [ 09:42:11 ] [ Genevieve ] "Anyone for some angling?" Gen rummages through her bag and pulls out a collapsible fishing rod that flicks open with a shake.
  253. [ 09:42:18 ] [ ~zoofman ] It's not -too- long before Lilith's phone bings with an email from Peyote with a word document that covers a lot of the details as well.
  254. [ 09:42:22 ] ! Rosetta then grabs Saryx's arm and shakes him. "Hey, hey, you wanna help me fish up one of those?" She points.
  255. [ 09:43:34 ] [ Lilith ] "I'll be find without fishing for now. You guys have fun. Just need to catch up first."
  256. [ 09:43:46 ] [ Lilith ] "...."
  257. [ 09:43:55 ] [ Lilith ] "Awww, yes. We're heaing to the BEACH."
  258. [ 09:44:18 ] [ Lilith ] "Not for fun and games, mind you, but Ben's going to be there. Probably to tell me that I need to come in tomorrow or something."
  259. [ 09:44:53 ] [ ~zoofman ] Anything in particular you guys are trying to angle up other than the Remoraids?
  260. [ 09:45:03 ] [ Saryx ] Saryx watches the Mantyke shoot overhead, which is pretty damned cool to him, probably 'cause it's probably doing the sparkly water anime shit, before being shaken back to reality by Rose. "Sure can do, Razor! ... You want me to get it, or you wanna take a shot at it yourself?"
  261. [ 09:45:34 ] [ Genevieve ] (Gen will try to pull up a Carvanha)
  262. [ 09:46:18 ] [ Rosetta ] "I'll do it."
  263. [ 09:46:25 ] [ Rosetta ] "You gotta learn all the world's got to offer you, yeah?"
  264. [ 09:46:31 ] ! Rosetta holds out a hand for the rod.
  265. [ 09:46:44 ] [ Lilith ] "Gauss might be able to help pull things in."
  266. [ 09:46:49 ] [ Lilith ] She points to the Drifblim.
  267. [ 09:48:38 ] [ Saryx ] "Just... Be real careful, okay Rose?" Saryx reaches into his shirt and pulls out his Horsea from within, before stringing it up. "I'll be right here if you need me, but this lure's real special! Dad would kill me if I let something happen to it."
  268. [ 09:48:52 ] [ ~zoofman ] Since it'd be silly to keep you guys rolling d20's on this trip till you brought something up, it's not too hard for Genevieve to pull up a Carvanha!
  269. [ 09:49:29 ] [ Genevieve ] As the fish comes down, Gen cracks open a Pokeball and releases the ever-kawaii MARIPU-chan!
  270. [ 09:49:37 ] [ Lilith ] "~"
  271. [ 09:49:41 ] [ Lilith ] "So cute!"
  272. [ 09:50:08 ] [ Genevieve ] "Kanto definitely knows how to make 'em cute, yeah!"
  273. [ 09:50:12 ] [ Lilith ] Dedekind is too busy with chowing down to help with fishing. He bites into a pancake...and the fork that was holding it up. Delicious.
  274. [ 09:50:13 ] [ Rosetta ] "Got it." Rosetta takes the rod with confidence. "One, two, three!" With a dramatic swish back, Rosetta launches the horsea bait over to the school of fishgun.
  275. [ 09:50:19 ] [ ~zoofman ] The sheep BAAAAH's~ and the bitey fish eyes its opponent!
  276. [ 09:52:10 ] [ Genevieve ] "First thing first, obviously. Time for a Thunder Wave."
  277. [ 09:52:44 ] [ ~zoofman ] The fish is paralyzed quite easily!
  278. [ 09:52:52 ] [ ~zoofman ] It flops around as it tries to bite the sheep!

  281. [ 09:53:00 ] [ ~zoofman ] Nada, stuck
  282. [ 09:53:46 ] [ Chase ] To Lilith's question, he responds, "Me? Well, I'm a musician from Red Blade. Majored in Pokemon Behavioral Science, no minors or anything... Just the bachelor's, too." he frowns, but shrugs. "Decided to form a band with my best buds but now I'm here chasing the unknown. Exciting stuff. I recently learned how to read auras, too. Or... was given the ability to. Helps a -lot- in
  283. [ 09:53:46 ] [ Chase ] catching moods, y'know?"
  284. [ 09:54:18 ] [ Genevieve ] "And then a Thundershock, but try not to kill it, Maripu~"

  292. [ 09:54:56 ] [ Lilith ] "Hey, I studied that, too! My minor, but anyway...it's interesting stuff, just getting into their heads, you know?"
  293. [ 09:55:32 ] [ Lilith ] Ded's already done with his pancake. This little ball of teeth is a -black hole-.
  294. [ 09:55:34 ] [ Chase ] "Yeah! Mostly I'm interested in what connects Pokemon to humans. The connections between us."
  295. [ 09:55:57 ] [ Lilith ] "I might be able to direct you to a few papers."
  296. [ 09:56:10 ] [ ~zoofman ] (ppppht)
  297. [ 09:56:13 ] [ Chase ] "Yeah? I'll have to check those out."
  298. [ 09:56:20 ] [ ~zoofman ] The sheep shocks the hell out of it, you just barely didn't make fish sticks.
  299. [ 09:56:30 ] [ ~zoofman ] It flops pitifully, defeated but not unconcious.
  300. [ 09:56:33 ] [ Lilith ] "And I mean that a little more generally, considering what I've been told about preventing the apocalypes and the Peyotesplosion on my phone."

  304. [ 09:57:09 ] [ ~zoofman ] I'm going to be nice and say this thing is effortless to catch, it's completely defeated
  305. [ 09:57:12 ] [ Lilith ] "Let's just call it a unique connection to the issue, yeah?"
  306. [ 09:57:19 ] [ Genevieve ] (Thanks)
  307. [ 09:57:37 ] [ Lilith ] "Good job! Doesn't look too happy, though."
  308. [ 09:57:39 ] [ Lilith ] "..."
  309. [ 09:57:47 ] [ Lilith ] "Not like they ever do look happy, but ANYWAY."
  310. [ 09:58:14 ] [ Genevieve ] "Good work, Maripu-chan, have a pancake."
  311. [ 09:58:34 ] ! Rosetta whistles to herself as she moves the fishing rod back and forth, trying to hook a fish.
  312. [ 09:58:37 ] [ ~zoofman ] The sheep nibbles a pancake happily, glad it did a good job on its first try. :>
  313. [ 09:58:43 ] [ ~zoofman ] (Lemee read up to make sure I didn't miss anything)
  314. [ 09:58:49 ] [ Lilith ] "There's also enough here to construct a basic breakfast burrito if you guys want."
  315. [ 09:58:52 ] [ Chase ] He nods. "I guess something had to get you interested if an economist studied it on the side. I wouldn't mind hearing about that sometime . As for me, somewhere along the way I'm gonna try to use these powers of mine to look a bit deeper than I could in my studies at school."
  316. [ 09:59:37 ] [ ~zoofman ] After a bit Rosetta gets a tug!
  317. [ 09:59:44 ] [ Rosetta ] She would totally be whistling this if she could somehow whistle two melodies at once: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4aE7oApIXQ
  318. [ 10:00:29 ] ! Rosetta braces herself, then gives a big yank on the line! She obviously doesn't know proper fishing technique, but she's trying.
  319. [ 10:00:36 ] [ Rosetta ] 3d6+2 athletics roll I think it is?
  320. [ 10:00:37 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Rosetta, athletics roll I think it is?: 10 [3d6=4,2,2]
  321. [ 10:00:43 ] ! Genevieve sits down next to the sheep and grabs a soda. "Actually, now that I think about it, I'll have to pick up a good brush the next time we get a bit of cash. Wool is hard to keep neat."
  322. [ 10:01:38 ] [ ~zoofman ] A remoraid comes up on the hook and flops onto the back of Thundachunks.
  323. [ 10:01:47 ] [ ~zoofman ] It seems a bit miffed but endured the ride.
  324. [ 10:02:27 ] [ Lilith ] "Nothing with metal in it, though."
  325. [ 10:02:43 ] [ Lilith ] "That brush is going to generate enough static electricity to fry a television as it is."
  326. [ 10:02:58 ] [ Rosetta ] "Hey, Scherzo, whack this thing, will ya?" Rosetta nods over to her flock of birds. Murkrow, speed 15
  327. [ 10:03:13 ] [ Saryx ] "Nice catch, Razor~"
  328. [ 10:03:25 ] [ Lilith ] "So! Dr. Webb. Doctooooorrrrr." The last word rolls off her lips, because it's just so satisfying to say. "Of what are you scholarly?"
  329. [ 10:03:44 ] [ ~zoofman ] The bird goes first!
  330. [ 10:04:20 ] [ Rosetta ] It swoops in with an incredibly precise blow with its wing!
  331. [ 10:04:22 ] [ Rosetta ] 1d20 faint attack

  336. [ 10:05:04 ] [ Lilith ] "In?" She opens up a Dr. Pelipper.
  337. [ 10:05:14 ] [ ~zoofman ] The fish looks a good bit beat up! It counters with a barrage of...stars, from it's mouth
  338. [ 10:05:15 ] [ ~zoofman ] 1d20 swift
  339. [ 10:05:15 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] zoofman, swift: 9 [1d20=9]
  340. [ 10:05:20 ] [ ~zoofman ] 28 damage!
  341. [ 10:05:39 ] [ Genevieve ] "Oh, medicine. Would have been a double doctor at that point, ha."
  342. [ 10:05:59 ] [ Rosetta ] "Ooh, this one's got some fight! Alright, Scherzo, back up a bit here. Clavier!" Hoothoot speed 11
  343. [ 10:06:16 ] [ ~zoofman ] The fish goes first, shooting water at this new opponent!
  344. [ 10:06:18 ] [ ~zoofman ] 1d20 water gun
  345. [ 10:06:19 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] zoofman, water gun: 8 [1d20=8]
  346. [ 10:06:22 ] [ ~zoofman ] another 28 damage!
  347. [ 10:06:45 ] [ Rosetta ] The hoothoot shakes off the water and responds with a hypnotic stare

  350. [ 10:07:00 ] [ ~zoofman ] The fish seems mesmorized...and then flops over asleep
  351. [ 10:07:29 ] [ Lilith ] "Interesting stuff. I was always -really- bad at biology and chemistry when I took those classes, though."
  352. [ 10:07:33 ] [ Lilith ] "Math was just more my thing."
  353. [ 10:07:55 ] [ Lilith ] "And just hanging out with the little buddies and trying to understand what's going on in their heads."
  354. [ 10:07:57 ] [ Rosetta ] "Nice!" Rosetta readies a pokeball and touches it to the remoraid.
  355. [ 10:08:07 ] [ ~zoofman ] VWOOP

  368. [ 10:11:11 ] ! Rosetta raises a hand. "So uh, I never went to college so maaaaybe I'm just missing something here, but...how the fuck do a Wailord and a Skitty get it on?"
  369. [ 10:11:32 ] [ Genevieve ] "Carefully."
  370. [ 10:11:33 ] [ Saryx ] Myrr's at his side, ready to roll as quick as a Slowpoke can.

  381. [ 10:13:55 ] [ Rosetta ] "Anyway, you wanted to hear about all of us, yeah?"
  382. [ 10:13:59 ] [ Lilith ] "I'm not going to get in the way of sweaty Wailord lust."
  383. [ 10:14:06 ] [ Lilith ] "That I do! It's your turn."

  385. [ 10:14:17 ] [ Lilith ] "I take it that you -really- like soda, first of all."
  386. [ 10:14:24 ] [ Saryx ] "... What?!?" Saryx stops and head turns so hard at Lilith.
  387. [ 10:14:33 ] [ Saryx ] 1d20 Oh God why Lil?!?

  391. [ 10:15:08 ] [ Rosetta ] "Hm hm." Rosetta sits down cross-legged and rocks back and forth a little. "Yeah! I do. The sugar rush is great for what I do. The uh, crashes not so much, but..." She shrugs.
  392. [ 10:15:41 ] [ Saryx ] "Ooh, sorry!" He calls out to the Mantyke. "Didn't mean to bop you on the head!"
  393. [ 10:16:06 ] [ Lilith ] "Don't start with energy drinks or coffee, then."
  394. [ 10:16:20 ] ! Chase pats poor Thundachunks. "Aw, sorry, man."
  395. [ 10:16:36 ] [ Lilith ] "It's okay to be in love! Really!"
  396. [ 10:16:38 ] [ Rosetta ] "So...let's see. I ran away from home at 15, spent about three quarters of a year slummin' it up in Veilbeak. Then I found a job working the docks, but honestly that sucked. I was a small girl, and not cut out for that kind of work."
  397. [ 10:16:44 ] [ Lilith ] "It's sweet and I'm happy for the both of you."

  403. [ 10:17:33 ] [ Rosetta ] "So then I snuck on a boat to Darkfeather, and the Vauxs - Annette's family - thought I was amusing enough and took me in. It sorta helped I had some talent in psionics. And that's where I met Annette of course!"
  404. [ 10:17:44 ] [ Saryx ] Not happening. Saryx turns face back in time to see the spray of bubbles and ducks for cover! Detect! "I said I was sorry!"
  405. [ 10:18:03 ] [ Saryx ] He yells at the fish-ish thing.
  406. [ 10:18:14 ] [ ~zoofman ] It squabbles at you a bit then puffs its cheeks as it swims closer.
  407. [ 10:18:24 ] [ Rosetta ] "I was their maid for about a year, til I had saved up some cash. Spent the next year in Johto, til...well, I heard the unfortunate news about my brother, and I came back here." Rosetta takes a deep breath at the end of her ramble.
  408. [ 10:19:31 ] [ ~zoofman ] It looks up to you wondering what the heck you want
  409. [ 10:19:35 ] [ Saryx ] "I wasn't trying to pick a fight with you! Honest, I wasn't!" He's taking one shot at getting this thing to not try and hit him again before it gets ugly.
  410. [ 10:19:41 ] [ Lilith ] "Sounds like you've had a hell of a time for one so young. I wish I had the chance to travel as much as you did."
  411. [ 10:19:45 ] [ Saryx ] 3d6 Don't you believe me Mr. Fish?!?
  412. [ 10:19:46 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Saryx, Don't you believe me Mr. Fish?!?: 11 [3d6=6,4,1]
  413. [ 10:19:46 ] [ Lilith ] "Too much an old fart now, though."
  414. [ 10:20:05 ] [ ~zoofman ] Okay it seems to believe you but wonders what you want then
  415. [ 10:21:03 ] [ Rosetta ] "That's my thought exactly really. Spend each year doing something different." She rocks back and forth a bit more, with the motion of the whale. "Though, this gig is pretty shiny. I could see staying on here a bit longer 'cause there's so much different to do anyhow."
  416. [ 10:21:47 ] [ Rosetta ] "Anyway, here, I'll send you a friend request so you can see..." Rosetta takes out her phone and gets to Lil's profile, sending a friend request.
  417. [ 10:22:55 ] ! Lilith takes out her phone and promptly accepts it.
  418. [ 10:23:13 ] ! Saryx gets closer to the Mantyke, as close possible without dismounting being concerned. "Hey, I'm looking to explore all the waters of Visiwa while I'm travelling with my friends! Fish everywhere I can with my lure! You look like a cool fish, and seem like you enjoy exploring the ocean you're in here; why not explore all the land with me and Myrr and all the rest of us, too?"
  419. [ 10:23:19 ] [ Lilith ] "....pardon the insanity on my meetup profile. Shawyun is special, as you'll soon see."
  420. [ 10:23:24 ] [ Saryx ] He offers a hand out to the not-a-fish.
  421. [ 10:23:50 ] [ Rosetta ] "You guys ought to start a sit-com on the side. Seriously. It'd just be a documentary really, but you could air it on a comedy station."
  422. [ 10:23:51 ] [ Lilith ] "Dude's really into Ponytas."
  423. [ 10:24:26 ] [ ~zoofman ] The fish considers
  424. [ 10:24:31 ] [ ~zoofman ] then holds up a fin to you
  425. [ 10:24:42 ] [ Rosetta ] "Oh he's one of those My Little Ponyta fans, huh?"
  426. [ 10:25:13 ] [ Saryx ] Saryx grabs the fin, grinning wildly. "Shake on it?" ... As if he expects the thing to know what a handshake is.
  427. [ 10:25:27 ] ! Chase considers making a comment on how he doesn't think Lil looks too much older than Rosetta, but his player can't think of how to make it come off smooth so he just listens to the conversation for now.
  428. [ 10:25:28 ] [ ~zoofman ] It seems sorta confused, figured you were gonna pull it up
  429. [ 10:25:31 ] [ ~zoofman ] So instead it hops up.
  430. [ 10:25:59 ] [ Saryx ] ... Oh. Well, that works, too~
  431. [ 10:26:01 ] [ Lilith ] "He might be."
  432. [ 10:26:23 ] [ Lilith ] "Honestly, I'm too scared to find out. Might come back home to more of those damn eggs."
  433. [ 10:26:38 ] [ Chase ] "Man, I don't even wanna know."
  434. [ 10:26:51 ] [ Genevieve ] "What damn eggs?"
  435. [ 10:27:08 ] [ Saryx ] Befriended Capture Count +1?
  436. [ 10:27:15 ] ! Rosetta opens her mouth, and raises a hand as if to ask a question, then lowers it and closes her mouth. She shakes her head. "Yeah, uh, I'll just see later...
  437. [ 10:27:17 ] [ Rosetta ] "
  438. [ 10:27:26 ] [ ~zoofman ] Yup, it just sorta sits there and watches the waves go by with ya
  439. [ 10:28:03 ] [ Lilith ] "Cadbury eggs. Likes to leave them as some sort of twisted calling-cardy-thingy."
  440. [ 10:28:11 ] [ Saryx ] Saryx makes his way over to the convo after he's got the Mantyke comfortably aboard and sharing a sliced apple from his cooler with Myrr.
  441. [ 10:28:20 ] [ Lilith ] "It's like a murder, except with less death and criminal activity and more chocolate and toys."
  442. [ 10:28:28 ] [ Chase ] "But it ain't even the right time of year for those."
  443. [ 10:28:30 ] [ Lilith ] "So, really, nothing at all like a murder."
  444. [ 10:28:41 ] [ Lilith ] "I know! That's what's so screwed up about it!"
  445. [ 10:28:48 ] [ Lilith ] "He -knows-. And he still does it."
  446. [ 10:28:56 ] [ Lilith ] "With those soulless, unblinking, glowing eyes...."
  447. [ 10:28:59 ] [ Rosetta ] "Wouldn't they all be expired for...months?"
  448. [ 10:29:03 ] ! Lilith shudders. Dedekind burps.
  449. [ 10:29:05 ] [ Chase ] "...Eugh."
  450. [ 10:29:06 ] [ Saryx ] "..." He has no clue what he just walked into.
  451. [ 10:29:19 ] [ Lilith ] "I ate some of the fresh ones. Chocolate's chocolate."
  452. [ 10:29:50 ] [ Lilith ] "Most of the gifts inside were just little plastic Gligarman toys, really."
  453. [ 10:30:01 ] [ Lilith ] "Didn't bother to check all of them."
  454. [ 10:30:53 ] [ Rosetta ] "Where did he leave these? Your team base?"
  455. [ 10:31:02 ] [ Genevieve ] "You know those things are worth a lot of money sometimes? Collectors are crazy."
  456. [ 10:31:03 ] [ Rosetta ] "Wait hold on..." Rosetta taps at her phone.
  457. [ 10:31:04 ] [ Lilith ] "My apartment."
  458. [ 10:31:08 ] [ ~zoofman ] The mantyke nibbles on the apple as it contemplates what the hell it just agreed to.
  459. [ 10:31:14 ] [ Rosetta ] "Oh, megacreepy." She just got to that part of the comments too.
  460. [ 10:31:24 ] [ Rosetta ] "Archcreep."
  461. [ 10:31:28 ] [ Lilith ] "He even took my premium Oran Juice! That's not cool!"
  462. [ 10:31:32 ] [ Chase ] "Dude needs to step his game up- no wait, I take that back. Dude needs to take his game back to the store, get a damn refund, and get an entirely new game."

  480. [ 10:34:00 ] [ Rosetta ] "Uh, I thought we weren't having a beach party to start."
  481. [ 10:34:53 ] [ Genevieve ] "We shouldn't be with time constraints and everything." She recalls Maripu to her Pokeball for safety.

  557. [ 10:50:58 ] ! Chase shakes all of the sand off of himself and tries to resume looking like a cool dude. Oof.
  558. [ 10:52:00 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "We got some odd reports of some unusual geothermal activity at an ancient burial site out here in the swamp and went out to investigate it about a week ago."
  559. [ 10:52:52 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "Along the way we nearly walked right into a bandit caravan. Pretty heavily armed too. Saw least five humvees and a truck. Their progress is slow but we got a hunch they are heading to the ruins."
  560. [ 10:53:18 ] [ Genevieve ] "What kind of geothermal activity?"
  561. [ 10:53:28 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "Shawyun and Thomas have been running the gig while I've been in contact with H.Q."
  562. [ 10:53:31 ] [ Rosetta ] "What would bandits want with a burial site?"
  563. [ 10:53:44 ] [ Rosetta ] "They in the occult biz?"
  564. [ 10:55:41 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "Genevieve was it? I'm no expert on that but the guys we had check it out thought it might be mechanical. Like they are digging."
  565. [ 10:55:59 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "And Rosetta? We got no idea."
  566. [ 10:56:37 ] [ Genevieve ] "Yes, nice to meet you, by the way. I suppose just digging is the best case here."
  567. [ 10:57:14 ] [ Rosetta ] "Alright then, are we heading out immediately?"
  568. [ 10:57:34 ] ! Chase ponders, while listening.
  569. [ 10:58:03 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "Probably should soon. Haven't heard from those two in a bit but got their locations on a G.P.S."
  570. [ 10:58:29 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "With more people here we can probably wrap this up sooner, the caravan's pretty close to the burial site by now as well."
  571. [ 10:58:41 ] [ Rosetta ] "It'd be shiny if there were time to stop by a Pokemon center, but I imagine time's sorta tight."
  572. [ 10:59:14 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "Eeeeh..."
  573. [ 10:59:28 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "We're about a day on foot from New Ivyhollow. This is something we've had to take slow. No room for backing out really."
  574. [ 10:59:46 ] [ Rosetta ] "Gotcha."
  575. [ 10:59:55 ] [ Chase ] "What kind of burial site is it?"
  576. [ 11:01:24 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "Well, it's a tomb, for one. Underground complex, pretty large. Given where it is I'd imagine it was Veilbeak origin..."
  577. [ 11:02:35 ] [ Rosetta ] "This sounds kinda complicated. But let's get goin' and you can bring us up to speed as we walk, yeah?"
  578. [ 11:02:36 ] [ Saryx ] "If it's that complex, then maybe it explains why they got so much stuff to break in with. Seemed a bit much before that they'd do all that just for grave robbing what might've already been looted a real long time ago."
  579. [ 11:03:17 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "Saryx and Chase, right? I'm honestly not that up to date on ancient burial practices. None of us really are. This is a pretty out there topic for us."
  580. [ 11:03:36 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "What we do know is these guys got some serious hard ware from -somewhere-"
  581. [ 11:04:56 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "Right, we should get moving." he hops up. "Sorry McArthur, you're lunch is gonna be cut short," he returns the Krabby as it gives off one last 'cookie cookie' over some sausage, the Fearrow remains planted on his shoulder.
  582. [ 11:05:05 ] [ Genevieve ] "High tech doesn't sound like the Sons' deal, but I guess we'll see."
  583. [ 11:05:56 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "Thanks again for bringing them out here, Big Lil."
  584. [ 11:06:09 ] ! Chase nods. "Arright, let's go then."
  585. [ 11:06:16 ] [ Rosetta ] "So what's the approach plan?" Rosetta recalls her birds except for Trilloby to be more discreet.
  586. [ 11:06:26 ] [ Rosetta ] "And yeah, see ya Lil." Rosetta waves.
  587. [ 11:06:44 ] [ Lilith ] "No problem. Don't be strangers - feel free to message or call me if you guys need anything."
  588. [ 11:06:57 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] Ben checks his G.P.S. "We're a good bit off from where those two are. So I don't imagine we'll have to tred too carefully for a bit."
  589. [ 11:06:57 ] [ Lilith ] "Ben's still double-fired, though."
  590. [ 11:07:06 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "What!"
  591. [ 11:07:15 ] ! Chase gets on the move!
  592. [ 11:07:17 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "That's horse radish you can't do that!"
  593. [ 11:07:27 ] [ Lilith ] "Yes. You're fired. Except -twice-."
  594. [ 11:07:28 ] [ Chase ] ...Once Ben's ready anyway
  595. [ 11:07:41 ] ! Lilith goes back to her tablet business.
  596. [ 11:07:52 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "Baaaah! Alright, alright, I'll help you get the eggs out of your place or something later. Let's get a move on guys."
  597. [ 11:08:40 ] [ Chase ] "Can we trade her in for Genevieve?" he jokes.
  598. [ 11:09:10 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] Ben leads you into the swamplands.
  599. [ 11:09:16 ] [ Genevieve ] "Let's not say anything we can't take back."
  600. [ 11:09:23 ] ! Saryx is totally tactless and loses it at Chase's comment.
  601. [ 11:09:39 ] [ Chase ] "Chill, girl, it was a joke!" he's laughing too.
  602. [ 11:09:56 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] It's murky, smelly, hot and humid, muddy, it's not long before you're dredging through water up to your knees.
  603. [ 11:10:03 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] Roll me 2 d100's each!

  613. [ 11:10:40 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "Back in the day most Explorer Guilds out of New Ivyhollow never made it out of this place after their first visit..."
  614. [ 11:10:47 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "Which was usually their first day, terribly enough."
  615. [ 11:11:02 ] [ Chase ] "Wonder how different things'd be if they had GPS."
  616. [ 11:11:07 ] [ Rosetta ] "You'd think they'd pick a different spot to go for first day fun."
  617. [ 11:11:08 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "But that was back when you couldn't walk a mile without tripping on a F.o.V. as well."
  618. [ 11:11:26 ] [ Genevieve ] "Oh, right. Proximity to ancient ruins and everything."
  619. [ 11:11:28 ] [ Saryx ] "... This is really, really nasty, Ben!" He comments as he wades through the muck. "... How long have you and the other two been camping here, again?"
  620. [ 11:11:35 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "Wasn't really an option, Rosetta. Ivyhollow was -the- city. That's it."
  621. [ 11:11:40 ] [ Chase ] "Well, we ran into one of those on our first day anyway." He says with a grimace.
  622. [ 11:11:42 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "This was way before the unification."
  623. [ 11:11:56 ] [ Chase ] "Guess that's what you call old school then."
  624. [ 11:12:41 ] [ Genevieve ] "It's just some swamp water. After you've gone deep into Thundercry, you don't worry about walking through water unless it's purple or glowing."
  625. [ 11:12:46 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] You hear a Wooper WOOOOP as it dives into the water. There's a bunch of Poliwags and Tympoles swimming around here as well.
  626. [ 11:13:25 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "I've been hanging out in the trees," he answers Saryx as he nods to one of them.
  627. [ 11:13:41 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "Not the most comfortable, but keeps you dry and away from the murk dwellers."
  628. [ 11:13:49 ] ! Rosetta already caught fishgun. All other water types are inferior. She ignores them. "Are those sturdy enough to travel by?"
  629. [ 11:14:03 ] [ Rosetta ] "Cause, man, I'd rather that than wading through this."
  630. [ 11:14:05 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] You see a pack of Duckletts a bit off, and an Ekans following them via the canopy.
  631. [ 11:14:12 ] [ Chase ] Hnnngh tympole
  632. [ 11:14:26 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] There's also a Totodile swimming after the Duckletts, seems it's working with the Ekans
  633. [ 11:14:45 ] [ Saryx ] "... Murk... Dwellers?" Saryx staaares,
  634. [ 11:14:53 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "I guess if you wanted to. I'm not that agile," he answers Rosetta
  635. [ 11:15:11 ] ! Rosetta immediately finds a nice tree and hops up.
  636. [ 11:15:33 ] [ Saryx ] Saryx... Is surprisingly quick to try and follow Rose in her insanity. "Room for one more up there, Razor?!?"
  637. [ 11:15:40 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] As you hop up you wake up a Shelmet that was hanging out in a hollow It raspberries at you in annoyance.
  638. [ 11:15:48 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] There's also a Snivy up there sunbathing
  639. [ 11:16:18 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "See that Totodile? That's just a pup, for example."
  640. [ 11:16:31 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "Many a person's lost a limb to stuff out here swimming around."
  641. [ 11:17:33 ] [ Rosetta ] "If you're careful, sure, Saryx." She carefully hops from branch to branch.
  642. [ 11:17:50 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "It's been a bit better since the Surskits are sorta rare out here in the wilds. Sorta did weird things to the ecosystem."
  643. [ 11:18:45 ] [ Rosetta ] "Yeah, I'm glad there are farms for that now. I love Danger Syrup."

  658. [ 11:23:03 ] [ Genevieve ] "Newton, I'm going to need you to try to aim carefully, can you do that for me?"
  659. [ 11:23:27 ] [ ~zoofman ] "A Koffing, huh? I didn't expect something like that out of a girl like you, Genevieve. Pretty awesome."
  660. [ 11:23:53 ] [ ~zoofman ] Newton nods in a jolly manner. It's an odd motion, like he's just bobbing forward and backward
  661. [ 11:24:10 ] [ Genevieve ] "Haha, well, I do like some of the less environmentally responsible types. And he knows how to party."
  662. [ 11:24:22 ] [ Chase ] "...well, as long as we're stopping..." he scans around and picks a target, readying the artillery ball. What, going to use a fire type again water? Is he a dumbass or just confident in Brahms' strength? Well, we'll see after everyone's had their chances.
  663. [ 11:24:46 ] [ Genevieve ] "Alright, Newton, launch a Will-o-Wisp at that Totodile."

  667. [ 11:25:40 ] [ ~zoofman ] The water around it starts to steam as it hops out all angry and flailing, scaring the Duckletts off. The Ekans facerattles.
  668. [ 11:25:56 ] ! Rosetta watches from her tree perch for now.
  669. [ 11:27:46 ] [ Genevieve ] (Is it acting or can I go again?)
  670. [ 11:28:12 ] [ ~zoofman ] It looks around for the source of this, sees Newton, and waddles over and jumps up to scratch at him!

  677. [ 11:29:13 ] [ Rosetta ] "Uh, I'll nab that snake. It looks kinda pissed, and I don't want it ganging up on Newton with the 'dile."

  715. [ 11:38:37 ] [ Chase ] "Bit overkill..."
  716. [ 11:38:58 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] Ben shakes his head and scoops it up and puts it back in the tree. "It'll wake up...eventually. If you aren't going for the kill something like that is uh...sorta overkill ya know?"

  759. [ 11:50:12 ] [ Chase ] Chase isn't having any luck diverting this thing's attention.
  760. [ 11:50:36 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] This frog seems so frustrated with your attempts at confusing it and fires back a Supersonic of its own!
  761. [ 11:50:46 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] Which...does nothing cause you have Own Tempo. It seems puzzled.

  777. [ 11:53:48 ] [ Chase ] "Got a lot of spirit, this one. Arright, let's try this!"

  784. [ 11:54:40 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] The ball plops into the water
  785. [ 11:55:32 ] [ Chase ] He grins. "Nice job, Brahms! Brains work over brawn sometimes, huh?" he slogs through the water to retrieve the pokeball.
  786. [ 11:56:50 ] [ Saryx ] Saryx pulls out a slice of apple from his pocket; seemed he was saving it for himself for later. He hooks it onto his lure and tries dangling it out for one of the Poliwag down below to nibble at.
  787. [ 11:58:45 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] After a bit a Poliwag comes by and squints at the dangling apple.
  788. [ 11:59:04 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] It tries to pry it off with it's lips and ends up hooking itself, zut.

  791. [ 12:01:00 ] [ Saryx ] "Hey there~" Saryx calls out to the Poliwag from his perch on the tree. "You like the app-Oh, whoops, that's not how you... Hold on a sec!" He shimmies down the tree and tries to unhook the Poliwag.
  792. [ 12:01:44 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] It flails around as you grab at it until you unhook it, doesn't seem too pleased though.
  793. [ 12:02:46 ] [ Saryx ] "... Sorry." He patpats the poor Poli. "Didn't mean to do that to you! ... You still want apples, though? Got more in the cooler." The one that's, like, two-thirds submerged now.
  794. [ 12:04:13 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] It doesn't seem particularly interested in your apples after getting hooked in the lips
  795. [ 12:05:28 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] In fact it tries to bat at you with its tail to try to make some distance between you
  796. [ 12:06:55 ] [ Saryx ] "... Guess that... Wasn't the best idea." Well, this is awkward now. He unhooks the apple and just... Puts it on top of the Poliwag's head before preparing to book it with the rest of the guys. "... See you 'round later, maybe?" Mission abort.
  797. [ 12:07:37 ] [ Rosetta ] "Yeah, let's handle the job first, catch Pokemon later."
  798. [ 12:07:45 ] [ Genevieve ] "We'll probably come back through here later anyway."
  799. [ 12:08:25 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "Most the stuff out here aside from that Snivy are pretty common. There's more grassy stuffs as we head further inland, but yeah most this is always here."
  800. [ 12:09:50 ] [ Chase ] "Can't hurt to pick up a little extra help." he comments.
  801. [ 12:09:59 ] [ Rosetta ] "Alrighty, onward then?"
  802. [ 12:10:12 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] You guys continue to march on for quite a while. The water starts to dry up, and before long after that you're walking on muddy grasslands.

  817. [ 12:15:43 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] Genevieve stumbles upon a rather interesting branch of kudzu. It seems to have bits of metal entwined into it.
  818. [ 12:16:09 ] [ Genevieve ] "What is this?"
  819. [ 12:17:24 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] Chase trips over something, when inspecting what it was he finds the rusted remains of an old machete lodged in the mud Outside the blade being rusted though...huh. It was once a rather pretty weapon.
  820. [ 12:18:28 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] Ben looks over the branch. "Looks like it grew from the spores of a Metathorn. Pretty rare. Bet you could make something really cool with this, hrm..."

  823. [ 12:19:15 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] Rosetta finds an old locket stuck in a tree, opening it has a picture of two girls kissing. GROSS.
  824. [ 12:19:36 ] [ Rosetta ] "What."
  825. [ 12:19:37 ] [ Chase ] "Ow... shit. Huh, looks like someone didn't get as lucky others."
  826. [ 12:19:47 ] ! Genevieve wraps up the piece of kudzu and puts it in a pocket inside her bag while trying not to jab herself with the metal bits.
  827. [ 12:19:51 ] [ Chase ] *as lucky as
  828. [ 12:20:14 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] You're not quite sure what he's talking about. He elaborates. "Well...uh, they are sorta horrifying."
  829. [ 12:20:24 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "It's like a Metagross and a Ferrothorn in one."
  830. [ 12:20:29 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "I don't like them :<"
  831. [ 12:20:32 ] [ Chase ] He recovers the old machete anyway. Maybe it can be cleaned up a bit...
  832. [ 12:20:44 ] [ Genevieve ] "Yeah, that doesn't sound too fun. What was one doing out here?"
  833. [ 12:21:12 ] [ Rosetta ] "Hey, that'd be kind of neat to have actually." Rosetta then turns to squint at the locket. Like, what the fuck man?
  834. [ 12:21:14 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "They live out here. They plant their seeds in fleshy species, sorta like some insects do."
  835. [ 12:21:29 ] [ Rosetta ] "...Okay nevermind."
  836. [ 12:21:43 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "If you realllly wanna know...uh..."
  837. [ 12:21:49 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "...Well ask Thomas about them later." he shivers.
  838. [ 12:21:52 ] [ Genevieve ] "Oh wow, yeah that's not good." Gen holds out a hand to Rosetta for a look at the locket.
  839. [ 12:22:09 ] ! Rosetta tosses it over.

  841. [ 12:22:34 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Genevieve, General Education to learn anything about it: 10 [3d6=6,2,2]
  842. [ 12:23:01 ] [ Chase ] "I'm not seeing any skeletons or anything... But this seems like a place a group of people passed through and had to leave in a hurry. Wonder what happened..."
  843. [ 12:23:10 ] [ Saryx ] "That really doesn't sound pleasant. ... At all, Ben!" Saryx has a mental image and it's not pretty. All you really need to know is that chestbursting action is involved. And not the hot kind, either.
  844. [ 12:23:15 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] Well, you don't find this stuff all at once!
  845. [ 12:23:18 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] It's over the trip
  846. [ 12:23:22 ] [ Chase ] Ohh
  847. [ 12:23:25 ] [ Chase ] Nevermind then
  848. [ 12:23:56 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] It seems like a rather nice silver locket, nothing really wrong with it by itself. If you had to guess it's maybe 5 years old?
  849. [ 12:24:00 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] Hell if you know who the girls in it are.
  850. [ 12:24:41 ] [ Genevieve ] "I think this thing is pretty recent, but beyond that..."
  851. [ 12:26:22 ] [ Rosetta ] "Let's just move on, yeah?"
  852. [ 12:26:28 ] [ Chase ] "Right."
  853. [ 12:26:40 ] [ Genevieve ] "Sure thing."
  854. [ 12:26:52 ] [ Chase ] "Saryx, what do you think of this, anyway? Can it be salvaged?"
  855. [ 12:27:02 ] ! Chase walks along side him, showing the abandoned machete.
  856. [ 12:28:13 ] [ Saryx ] "Gimme a sec real quick to look this thing over! I mean, first thing is I can start whetting the blade real quick to sharpen it some, but gonna need a bit either way..." He starts looking the thing over.
  857. [ 12:29:35 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] The blade is completely done for, rusted to all hell. The hilt, though...well whoever waterproofed it did an awesome job with the finish. It's really well preserved, and carved in a way to make it look like the blade is coming out of the mouth of a Gyrados.
  858. [ 12:29:43 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] The leather bindings on it are all but gone as well
  859. [ 12:30:28 ] [ Genevieve ] "How close are we to the ruins?"
  860. [ 12:30:46 ] [ Rosetta ] "Yeah, are we gonna have to start being more discreet about our approach?"
  861. [ 12:31:12 ] ! ~Ben_Argo checks the G.P.S. "Oh...huh..." He motions for you guys to quiet down and duck down a little.
  862. [ 12:31:35 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "They stopped moving an hour ago? We're almost on top of them..." he whispers
  863. [ 12:32:09 ] ! Rosetta nods, slinking down into a practiced stealthy trot.
  864. [ 12:33:15 ] [ Saryx ] Saryx smiles as he looks over the thing. "Well, the blade's done for. No amount of sharpening's gonna make this thing any useful anymore. ... Whoever made this before, though, did a real good job making--" He stops to whisper back. '... Sorry, Ben. But yeah, Chase, the hilt's real good, both as art and as a weapon component; I could maybe try and fashion a new blade to attach
  865. [ 12:33:15 ] [ Saryx ] to this one, I think...'
  866. [ 12:33:20 ] ! Genevieve stows away Newton and sends out Dessoir, then gives the Sableye a silent finger shush.
  867. [ 12:33:42 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] He motions for you guys to stay still for a bit, moves on ahead some, then motions for you to follow.
  868. [ 12:33:58 ] [ Rosetta ] Trilloby gets returned to his Pokeball for Scherzo, as he's a lot sneakier.
  869. [ 12:34:04 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] This repeats for a bit as you move away from the mud and to more dry and stable ground and forestry.
  870. [ 12:34:21 ] [ Rosetta ] "If you need someone to go ahead and do a bit of recon, I'm not too bad at sneakery." Rosetta whispers.
  871. [ 12:35:30 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "Eeeeh..." He looks you over, then nods. "Alright, go ahead then."
  872. [ 12:36:33 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] Roll me stealth as well as you do that.
  873. [ 12:36:37 ] ! Rosetta takes a look at Ben's GPS, then slinks on ahead. What's the terrain around here like, and does Ben point out where I'd be looking for bandits and the like?
  874. [ 12:36:40 ] [ Rosetta ] 3d6+6
  875. [ 12:36:40 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Rosetta, 3d6+6: 20 [3d6=6,4,4]
  876. [ 12:38:03 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] It's slowly starting to look more like a forest than a swamp, Ben was having you go through some foilage slowly, but it seems like a pretty straight shot path to the blips on the device.
  877. [ 12:38:41 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] As you sneak along quietly you start to hear the sound of drums and hollering and dancing, and smoke from a campfire.
  878. [ 12:39:19 ] ! Rosetta makes her approach slowly, teleporting between the cover of bushes where she can't make a continuous path with cover. She peers and listens for..just what the hell is happening here? Would knowledge: occult help?
  879. [ 12:39:29 ] ! Chase quietly sneaks along with the rest of the nonstealthy goofs
  880. [ 12:39:52 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] Well, as you get closer it's -somewhat- clear
  881. [ 12:40:52 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] you see a section of the woodlands where there's about fifteen unusually short men in rather shoddy clothing. They got a campfire going, drums, dancing. A few have masks on, but that's not really the odd part either.
  882. [ 12:42:24 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] There's a rather tall guy sitting on a stump that has been furnished into a makeshift throne with a feathery headdress on, smugly staring at a normal short guy being tied to a tree branch as two of the littler men set up a spit over the campfire.
  883. [ 12:43:01 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "You are -such- an assmuch, Shawyun," >:T says the short guy.
  884. [ 12:44:12 ] [ Rosetta ] Does Rosetta recognize the short guy? (Guessing it's Thomas?)
  885. [ 12:44:22 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "LORD URMABUTTA KNOWS NO SUCH MAN, HA~HA~HA~" it's evident none of these short guys understand a word they are saying.
  886. [ 12:44:38 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] You do not recognize him (but yes http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/3tbx23/ )
  887. [ 12:44:48 ] ! Saryx stares at the scene, in all sorts of confusion. ... Then slooowly peeks over Ben's shoulder at the screen.
  888. [ 12:44:57 ] ! Rosetta quickly retraces her steps and reports back to the others.
  889. [ 12:45:06 ] [ Rosetta ] "...So uh."
  890. [ 12:45:09 ] [ Genevieve ] "What are we looking at here, exactly? These are your guys, right?"
  891. [ 12:45:09 ] [ Saryx ] (... Wait. SHIT.)
  892. [ 12:45:17 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] Ben is just
  893. [ 12:45:18 ] [ Saryx ] (That wasn't us who saw that was it?)
  894. [ 12:45:26 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] (yeah only Rosetta did)
  895. [ 12:45:38 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] having the worst feeling about this, he's facepalming already even before he hears the news
  896. [ 12:45:44 ] [ Rosetta ] "...Shawyun is king of a buncha tribal shorties now, and they're tying up some other dude to roast over a fire."
  897. [ 12:45:55 ] [ Saryx ] DISREGARD THEN.
  898. [ 12:46:07 ] [ Genevieve ] "Is that better or worse than bandits, Ben?"
  899. [ 12:46:20 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "Did the other guy look like he needs a hug."
  900. [ 12:46:25 ] ! Rosetta whispers, continuing. "Masks, drums, the whole nine yards. They've got a friggin throne for Shawyun and a headdress."
  901. [ 12:46:44 ] ! Rosetta thinks. "...Yeah."
  902. [ 12:46:56 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "God. Damn. It."
  903. [ 12:47:27 ] [ Chase ] "...This shit cray count: 3."
  904. [ 12:47:42 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "He's fucking with those Firefoots. He's really gotten really good at tricking them into thinking he's a god."
  905. [ 12:48:08 ] [ Chase ] "Whoa, back up, what's all this then?"
  906. [ 12:48:44 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "Firefoot Tribe. Pygmy bastards who live out in the wilds still. And worst of all, cannibals."
  907. [ 12:49:02 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "There was a bunch of em with these bandits, guessing they employed them."
  908. [ 12:49:03 ] [ Rosetta ] "Yeah, he called himself Lord Urmabutta..."
  909. [ 12:49:11 ] [ Rosetta ] "So...what's that make the plan now?"
  910. [ 12:49:28 ] [ Genevieve ] "Let's go save your friend from your other friend. If that's what he is, ostensibly."
  911. [ 12:49:32 ] [ Saryx ] Okay, now Saryx is just staaaaring with the only 'What the fuck?' expression on his face. "... I'm with Chase here. ... Do we have time to rewind back to the beginn... Oh, ummm... That... Doesn't sound..." Saryx is kind of at a loss for words here. "... And this guy's part of your team?"
  912. [ 12:50:01 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "Point is this is all Shawyun messing with Thomas for some dumb reason. Let's just bust in there and ruin his gag so I can strangle him."
  913. [ 12:50:08 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "...In the most clean and efficient manner possible."
  914. [ 12:50:14 ] [ Genevieve ] "Can do."
  915. [ 12:50:16 ] [ Rosetta ] "I fully understand now why Peyote and the General are functional alcoholics now."
  916. [ 12:50:26 ] [ Chase ] "Great. So... plan?"
  917. [ 12:50:28 ] [ Rosetta ] *-1 now
  918. [ 12:50:28 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] Oh, and, http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/3tbx3v/
  919. [ 12:50:57 ] [ Genevieve ] "I figure if he tricked them into thinking he's a god, it'll be easy for one of you to do something similar."
  920. [ 12:51:32 ] [ Genevieve ] "I mean...a psychic, an aura user, do something flashy."
  921. [ 12:51:54 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "He may be a moron but he's got a sharp wit, and more importantly is a mystic."
  922. [ 12:52:12 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "What he does is he talks to their Blazikens and Combuskins and eases his way in that way."
  923. [ 12:52:38 ] [ Rosetta ] "Fire types, huh? Damn, I wish I had that fish I caught now..."
  924. [ 12:52:59 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "Not to mention he's more than capable of punching them all to kingdom come."
  925. [ 12:53:21 ] [ Genevieve ] "Is it worth trying diplomacy with him?"
  926. [ 12:53:42 ] [ Rosetta ] "Why doesn't he then? If we pop in and he knows the gig's up, will he just up and join us in beating them down?"
  927. [ 12:54:09 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "If you can think of a way to match it, maybe. The Firefoots are pretty backcountry so they fall for this sorta thing easier than you'd think - even with their own hexxers."
  928. [ 12:54:44 ] [ Rosetta ] "Well, Aura might help us there."
  929. [ 12:54:56 ] ! Chase taps his chin, thinking...
  930. [ 12:55:03 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "He's probably trying to get Thomas to agree to something then stop it."
  931. [ 12:55:14 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "So we -could- just wait it out but then Thomas will be all pissy."
  932. [ 12:55:32 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "And then I'm going to have to threaten him to get Big LIl to hug him and it's just going to be awkward for everyone."
  933. [ 12:55:47 ] [ Genevieve ] "Let's go speed things along." Gen starts down towards the pygmies with Dessoir at her heels.
  934. [ 12:55:49 ] [ Rosetta ] "...So what you're saying is we better do somethin?"
  935. [ 12:56:04 ] [ Chase ] "Gen! ...shit."
  936. [ 12:56:40 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "Yes. If you guys wanna ambush em or something we can do that as well."
  937. [ 12:57:05 ] [ Saryx ] "... You guys have a real interesting way of being friends with one another, you know that, Ben?"
  938. [ 12:57:32 ] [ Chase ] "Well, I can't think of anything clever. so I guess it's gonna have to be the ambush." he sighs.
  939. [ 12:57:58 ] [ Chase ] "Can't let Gen go in there by herself anyway..." He starts to follow her.
  940. [ 12:58:00 ] [ Rosetta ] "I could try to play up the god role here, but you guys gotta back me up if it goes south. Actually, hell, I don't see that getting us anywhere. Then it's just two of us stuck on that throne. Or worse, they want us to fight it out to be true goes..."
  941. [ 12:58:03 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "There's a reason I prefer to play contact with H.Q.!"
  942. [ 12:58:48 ] [ Rosetta ] "Right, uh, I'll circle around and try to get a better angle for the ambush. I think I could handle that..." Rosetta starts off trying to approach so they can flank the camp.
  943. [ 12:59:56 ] ! Chase nods at Rosetta. "Good luck."
  944. [ 01:00:21 ] ! Rosetta nods back and pulls her hood up as she sneaks off.
  945. [ 01:00:28 ] [ Chase ] Chase is going to have Sibelius out for this one, as a note.
  946. [ 01:00:28 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] "Right then. I'll handle Mr. High and Mighty so you guys try to get Thomas off that spit ASAP, and we'll see to those damned Firefoots as well."
  947. [ 01:02:01 ] [ ~Ben_Argo ] Annnnd we'll call session for there since the scene is set~
