[20:58] <KamenWriter> Cait and Elsa, Day 7, between Morning and afternoon slots. Talky talky.
[20:58] * Cait comes into the village, all of her pokemon look tired.
[20:58] * Cait herself is wiping sweat from her brow
[20:59] * Elsa goes over to her, walking with her Jolteon and Growlithe, <Cait.>
[20:59] <Cait> "Yeah?"
[20:59] <Elsa> <I was planning on getting everyone together, but this might be easier, we're all so spread out.>
[21:00] <Cait> "Sure, what's up."
[21:00] <Elsa> <Rudiger is either dead or held hostage. The water brother has him.>
[21:00] * Cait 's expression goes from light to serious.
[21:00] <Cait> "That idiot."
[21:01] * Elsa doesn't seem too upset over the fact, <Apparently he got into a scuffle in the paras cave and got dragged away after losing. Groudon spotted the brother leaving with some of his followers and Rudiger.>
[21:01] <Cait> "How the heck did that happen? I thought he went north? there's no water north."
[21:01] <Cait> "Sheesh."
[21:02] <Elsa> <After I manage to talk to the others, I'll see what we need to do about it. Just a few small other things I wanted to mention to you.>
[21:02] <Elsa> <I don't trust Charles.>
[21:03] <Cait> "Why's that, besides the obvious."
[21:03] <Elsa> <I spoke with Groudon and there seems no indication that there should be more than five humans.>
[21:04] <Elsa> <All of us were together, even when we should have been miles apart before the accident. Except him.>
[21:04] <Elsa> <Now after two generals have fallen, there is suddenly a sixth member that shows up.>
[21:04] <Elsa> <Has he talked to you at all?>
[21:05] <Cait> "asked about my family. rather rude."
[21:06] <Cait> "Could you tell if he was lying? the local cheiftan of the native tribe always said they could tell if you were lying...not sure how true that was though."
[21:06] <Elsa> <He asked of my past as well, but what struck me as odd wasn't that. He is acting under cowardly motications, yet immediately turned around and didn't even flinch at me, when yesterday I threatened to kill him for simply speaking.>
[21:07] <Elsa> <I couldn't tell anything beyond what he wants himself to appear as.>
[21:09] <Elsa> <Proceed carefully with him.>
[21:09] <Cait> "I have a hard time believing he's anything other than what he seems...a bumbling buffoon. I'll definitely heed that advice. I still heed it with Rudiger and Ivan..."
[21:10] * Elsa starts to turn, but stops, <Ah, and not really as important, but Groudon seemed that he wanted to meet you.>
[21:10] * Cait thinks about something, then snickers. "Oh?"
[21:10] <Cait> "That's the big red ground pokemon, correct?"
[21:11] <Elsa> <And he insists on not heading into town because he would cause trouble, so you'll most likely need to head to Terrakion's old base to talk with him.>
[21:11] <Cait> "Ah. Alright."
[21:11] <Elsa> <Well yes, but he did seem a tad more familiar with you than just, the other woman.>
[21:11] <Cait> She pauses, "Any idea why?"
[21:12] * Elsa raises an eyebrow, <And of course, the Hasbrouck girl.>
[21:13] * Cait 's face does show recognition with that name. despite this, she says, "That's not my name."
[21:13] <Elsa> <Alright.>
[21:13] <Cait> "I'll go see him though." She nods
[21:13] * Elsa does turn to leave this time, <If you see Ivan and Karsten, tell them I'm looking for them.>
[21:13] <Cait> "I will."
[21:14] <Elsa> <And I suppose Charles. Hrmph.>
[21:14] <Cait> "Oh, did he talk to you about his gal back home?"
[21:15] * Elsa turns and gives a small snort, <Yes.>
[21:15] <Cait> "Can you believe that? well, I can, but still."
[21:17] <Cait> "Maybe its because I grew up around father more, but the boy really needs to break the leash from his 'mum'"
[21:18] <Elsa> <The blame for the situation lies equally on both parties.>
[21:18] <Elsa> <He is simply the easier one for us to see.>
[21:19] <Cait> "Point. Still." She starts walking, "Would it kill him to grow a backbone?"
[21:19] * Cait says her goodbyes to Elsa, before heading north to mr Groudon
[21:23] <KamenWriter> Alright. So you go north to speak with Groudon
[21:24] <KamenWriter> You go into the cave
[21:24] * Cait goes!
[21:25] <KamenWriter> And as soon as you get into his chamber, you're hit by the hot, dry aura of a Groudon.
[21:25] <KamenWriter> He appears to be up and about now, and as soon as you come in, he seems to brighten up.
[21:25] <KamenWriter> <Howdy.>
[21:26] <Cait> "Hoy."
[21:26] <Cait> "You wanted to see me?"
[21:26] <Cait> "And...you said my father's name." :I
[21:26] <KamenWriter> <It wasn't real important, but yeah.>
[21:27] <KamenWriter> <Is that bad? It's your name ain't it?>
[21:27] <KamenWriter> <That's how human names work, right? Your last name is the same as your daddy?>
[21:28] <Cait> "it aint, actually. Well, that IS how it works normally. But not if one family is more influential than the other. Sometimes."
[21:28] <Cait> "Mine's a rare case. would rather keep the other family name than Hasbrouck."
[21:29] <Cait> "Even if I do take after my father..."
[21:29] <KamenWriter> <I reckon I don't rightly know which family is more influential. Bruce's daddy allied himself with Kyogre. That makes his family the more impressive in my book.>
[21:29] <Cait> "Mom did too, personally."
[21:30] <Cait> "So I guess, in a way, I'm an enemy of yours? does that work like that?"
[21:30] <KamenWriter> <Nah. Your folks did me a big favor.>
[21:31] <KamenWriter> <Don't matter much to me what your grandpappy did.>
[21:32] <KamenWriter> <And your... er... Ma... She helped me before he... she helped the other guy.>
[21:32] <Cait> "She." :I
[21:32] <KamenWriter> <Not at the time.> :I
[21:32] <Cait> "Mom is mom. Uncle is uncle. they're different."
[21:32] <KamenWriter> <Right, right.>
[21:33] <Cait> "I'm not gonna argue about this; in fact, I'd rather it be kept quiet."
[21:33] <KamenWriter> <Quiet, huh? That ain't gonna be easy.>
[21:34] <KamenWriter> <The asshole and the buzzkill both think highly of your family. Prolly one of the few things all three of us can agree on. That's impressive on its own.>
[21:34] <KamenWriter> <Celebi had a big mouth and lots of friends.>
[21:34] <Cait> "Yeah, I've noticed..."
[21:35] <Cait> "Thing is, I promised mom and dad not to mention my last name, since its KIND OF a known name, in more ways than one."
[21:35] <KamenWriter> <And then there's Palkia and Dialga, they crossed both their paths, and then there's that creepy Ice dragon.>
[21:36] <Cait> "Mr Kyurem."
[21:36] <KamenWriter> <Right. The one who never wants anything to change ever, good or bad.>
[21:36] <KamenWriter> <Anyhow, you really don't want me mentioning it?>
[21:37] <Cait> "Well, i promised so...Although I think it may be too late."
[21:37] <Cait> "Since yeah, EVERYONE is all 'oh yeah THAT GIRL'
[21:37] <Cait> "None of the others have mentioned anything yet, but..."
[21:38] <KamenWriter> <Well, from our point of view, not many humans ever get to hang around with one of us "legendary" pokemon. It's common that a human goes through without ever meeting even one.>
[21:38] <KamenWriter> <To meet a whole bunch is notable, and we've got long memories.>
[21:39] <Cait> "Well, its the same for us now, isn't it?"
[21:39] <KamenWriter> <Legends are gonna talk, is my point. Don't mean nothing by it. It maybe even kinda flattering.>
[21:40] <KamenWriter> <I'll stop mentioning it, and if I see anyone else that'll listen to me I'll tell 'em the same.>
[21:42] * Cait scratches the back of her head, "Thanks, anything I can do for you?"
[21:44] <KamenWriter> <If you guys win... you could tell Bruce and Ed something fer me, I reckon.>
[21:45] <Cait> "Sure!"
[21:45] <KamenWriter> <Tell 'em...>
[21:46] <KamenWriter> <...S'aright.>
[21:46] <Cait> "...Will do."
[21:46] * Cait nods, and heads out.
[21:47] <KamenWriter> You head back to town.
[21:48] <KamenWriter> And... Lets let other people finish out their days
[21:48] <KamenWriter> So you guys can maybe plan a rescue operation?
[21:48] <Cait> kk
