[20:40]	<Steve>	"I dunno... the wild pokemon we've seen so far seem to be a bit... off? You'd think it's because they're not used to humans, but I dunno, there's a few around. I wonder if it's something else."
[20:40]	<OmegaX|Laptorp>	(Also, ready for my gym battle whenever, Happy.)
[20:41]	<Steve>	"The ruins aren't so bad, makes me wonder what they used to look like. Wonder if they matched the spitshine that statue has."
[20:41]	<Steve>	He stretches as he looks around.
[20:41]	<Happymancer>	(Doing Steve's first)
[20:42]	<Happymancer>	"Maybe."
[20:42]	<OmegaX|Laptorp>	(Of course. I dont want you to double task anyways.)
[20:42]	<Happymancer>	Around the center of town there are only a few people walking about, most doing manual labor
[20:43]	<Steve>	"Not too many people around either... wonder if they're just elsewhere or if they've really dwindled down to this. Kinda sad to think about..."
[20:45]	<Steve>	He starts walking about, more. "What's Hermes' problem with the place?"
[20:46]	<Happymancer>	"He's just upset that dragons sort of look down on the base elements."
[20:46]	<Happymancer>	"Two of which he is, and I might add he is a big lovable pile of them." She gets him in a headlock and scratches at his chin
[20:46]	<Steve>	He laughs.
[20:47]	<Steve>	"If I had Lena with me I'd probably be able to rip some dragons a new one... ah, well."
[20:48]	<Happymancer>	"Well I think you'll manage pretty well against him either way."
[20:48]	<Steve>	"You think so?"
[20:49]	<Steve>	"Well, I might as well give it a shot before we leave."
[20:50]	<Happymancer>	"Eh, the town won't go anywhere, want to head off and explore?"
[20:50]	<Steve>	"Okay, sure. I almost want to try to get a dragon, myself... almost looked for one back at Pine Haven. But I realized I've probably started to take on far more pokemon than I need to. If I don't watch myself, I might end up like Hau..."
[20:50]	<Kit>	(hey :<)

[20:53]	<Happymancer>	Once you're a bit away from town she laughs, "I shouldn't laugh, since I basically did the same thing to you, but, who wants a tour~"
[20:54]	<Steve>	"Ahahaha. Yeah, she was pretty flirty, wasn't she? This island probably never gets visitors, so..."
[20:55]	<Steve>	He makes a large, sweeping motion with his arm. "Well then, madam tour guide?"
[20:56]	<Happymancer>	"They have to have some way to get off the island, those tattoos looked fairly professional, and a lot of the tech.. Well to our left, we have the magnificent- oh hey, Blue Haze."
[20:56]	<Steve>	"Hm?"
[20:56]	<Happymancer>	She leans over to a clump of blue flowers that grow next to a tree
[20:56]	<Steve>	He has a look.

[20:57]	<Happymancer>	"Blue haze, you dry the leaves and crush the seeds, popular drug for college kids. Aphrodisiac and hallucinogen."

[21:01]	<Happymancer>	She hits your arm, "Pff, you forget that I have to know what all the plants are whenever I get stuck out here without any food."

[21:03]	<Happymancer>	"Maybe that's how they make all the money to buy their equipment." She laughs and jokes
[21:04]	<Steve>	"Giratina's secret drug ring? News at eleven!"
[21:04]	<Happymancer>	"I knew I never should have trusted those hydreigons, with their shaggy haircuts and always smelling like smoke."

[21:05]	<Steve>	"Obviously."
[21:05]	<Happymancer>	She keeps walking, pointing up at a roost of Natu and Xatu
[21:06]	<Happymancer>	"Check it out, these old guys definitely are from here."
[21:06]	* Steve	looks up.
[21:06]	<Steve>	"Oh?"
[21:06]	<Happymancer>	The birds stand stock still, the shiny feathers along their bodies distinctly tinted a turquoise
[21:07]	<Happymancer>	Their bodies have distinct segments that imitate totem poles even more closely
[21:07]	<Steve>	"Huh, that's interesting..."
[21:08]	<Happymancer>	You keep walking out and find a den of something that perks Hermes' interest
[21:09]	<Steve>	(Stooop tempting me to catch ;-;)
[21:09]	<Steve>	(Dragon/Psychic Xatu is best)
[21:09]	<Happymancer>	He pauses and sniffs at the entrance and eventually pups come out barking at the large stranger
[21:09]	<Steve>	"What's he found? Oh?"
[21:09]	<Happymancer>	The growlithe puppies have tufts of blood red fur along their joints, and their face is covered in a mask like fur
[21:10]	<Steve>	"Awww, lookat them..." =D "Wonder if mommy's around."
[21:11]	<Happymancer>	You feel something breathing down your neck and a growl
[21:11]	* Steve	freezes.
[21:11]	<Steve>	"...She's right behind me, isn't she."
[21:12]	<Happymancer>	"No of course not, we would've seen her if she was on the ground, she's above you."
[21:12]	<Steve>	He cranes his neck up, slowly.
[21:12]	<Happymancer>	She looks over, smiling, mentally talking to the arcanine that is gripping the bark of the tree trunk carefully
[21:13]	<Happymancer>	The lithe pokemon slowly drops to the ground next to you and herds the pups back into the den, her lips pulling back to show teeth
[21:14]	<Steve>	"Ooh boy."
[21:14]	<Happymancer>	It lacks the usual black markings, in exchange for a deep red on top of the orange
[21:14]	<Steve>	He backs away.
[21:15]	<Happymancer>	Kalipso kneels down, "Shhh, don't scare away Steve."
[21:15]	<Happymancer>	It snorts a little fire and lays in front of the entrance
[21:16]	<Steve>	"...hah." he says a little nervously.
[21:16]	<Happymancer>	"Come on over, she won't attack you, since you don't mean any harm to her kids."
[21:17]	<Steve>	"The pokemon around here are beautiful at least..." he edges over carefully, not wanting to upset the arcanine.
[21:18]	<Steve>	He has a seat beside Kal.
[21:19]	<Steve>	"I really am jealous though, you have a way with pokemon most people will never have." :3c
[21:20]	<Happymancer>	"Maybe, but hey, is now a good time to talk?"
[21:24]	<Steve>	He looks at the Arcanine, wondering if Kal means the talking is stirring her up somehow.
[21:25]	<Happymancer>	It's fine
[21:25]	<Happymancer>	She looks at you, "No, like is now a good time to talk about you."
[21:26]	<Steve>	"Oh!"
[21:26]	<Steve>	"Me."
[21:26]	<Steve>	He thinks.
[21:26]	<Steve>	"Which part, exactly? That stuff that went on with my dad while you were out, or my fears, or..."
[21:26]	<Steve>	"Either way, yeah, I guess now's a good time to talk."
[21:28]	<Happymancer>	"Already got a secondhand perspective on what happened from what you saw, but I meant about the pokemon."
[21:28]	<Happymancer>	She scratches at the Arcanine, ignoring it while it growls
[21:28]	<Happymancer>	"Oh don't act like you don't enjoy it."
[21:28]	<Happymancer>	Hermes bumps into you not wanting to get left out
[21:29]	* Steve	has to admire Kal's bravery. Oh, sure, he indulges the big, spoiled lug with some scratches too.
[21:30]	<Steve>	"Well, the truth is... I'm not sure. I think... I MIGHT have been attacked by something when I was younger, but I can't remember at all."
[21:34]	<Steve>	"But whenever I see a large, hostile pokemon, or even something that LOOKS fierce, I tend to... you know, freeze up until I'm sure it won't attack." :B "I almost couldn't run from Giratina, even."
[21:35]	<Happymancer>	She sits back, "Steve, I know just saying it might not help, but you can literally take down a lot of the biggest pokemon out there on your own."
[21:35]	<Happymancer>	"You're not a child anymore, and you definitely aren't weak."
[21:35]	<Steve>	"Yeah, I realize that, but..."
[21:35]	<Happymancer>	"Do you want me to dig around in your head trying to figure out what happened?"
[21:37]	<Steve>	"...Alright, sure."
[21:37]	<Steve>	"May as well."
[21:38]	<Happymancer>	She scoots over, tsking at the mud she just realized she was sitting in, and motions for you to lean back against her.

[21:52]	<Steve>	"That's weird... she isn't waking up. Hermes!" he calls out. "Did she possess something and leave?"
[21:52]	<Happymancer>	Hermes keeps looking around, growling at something
[21:52]	<Steve>	"Huh..."
[21:53]	<Steve>	He tries to get up, picking Kal up in the process.
[21:53]	<Steve>	"What's up?"
[21:53]	<Steve>	"This isn't like her..."
[21:54]	<Steve>	He runs a quick check of her aura.

[22:17]	<Stevimaru>	Gary begins thrashing the shit out of the Scoliopede with his bone clubs!
[22:18]	<Stevimaru>	lolflinched
[22:18]	<Stevimaru>	Scoliopede's turn
[22:18]	<Happymancer>	1d20 Horn Leech
[22:18]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Happymancer, Horn Leech: 15 [1d20=15]
[22:18]	<Happymancer>	On gary
[22:18]	<Stevimaru>	Yep
[22:18]	<Happymancer>	2d12+21+25
[22:18]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Happymancer, 2d12+21+25: 57 [2d12=5,6]
[22:18]	<Happymancer>	Grass
[22:19]	<Stevimaru>	Gary's hit hard but still up!
[22:19]	<Stevimaru>	1d20 Thrash
[22:19]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Stevimaru, Thrash: 18 [1d20=18]
[22:19]	<Happymancer>	Hits again
[22:19]	<Stevimaru>	5d12+20+42
[22:19]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Stevimaru, 5d12+20+42: 95 [5d12=11,6,5,10,1]
[22:19]	<Happymancer>	(How much damage did it do)
[22:19]	<Stevimaru>	(37)
[22:19]	<Stevimaru>	(er)
[22:20]	<Stevimaru>	(74)
[22:20]	<Stevimaru>	(rather)
[22:20]	<Happymancer>	Perception
[22:20]	<Stevimaru>	1d20+1
[22:20]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Stevimaru, 1d20+1: 4 [1d20=3]
[22:20]	<Happymancer>	I unno man
[22:21]	<Happymancer>	Your action
[22:21]	<Stevimaru>	Body Focus
[22:21]	<Stevimaru>	"Hang in there, Gary!"
[22:22]	<Stevimaru>	He grits his teeth as he focuses, the strong hits and the poison are enough to wear him down quick.
[22:22]	<Happymancer>	The Scolipede abruptly whips around and adjusts how it stand, it's tail now acting as it's head, and it's wounded head acting as it's tail
[22:22]	<Happymancer>	But you look, and you can't tell which is the real head
[22:23]	<Stevimaru>	"What the hell?"
[22:23]	<Happymancer>	The scolipede shoves forward at Gary again, attempting another horn leech, Kalipso still hooked onto the horns
[22:23]	<Stevimaru>	(It's holding Kal in the tail, isn't it?)
[22:23]	<Happymancer>	1d20
[22:23]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Happymancer, 1d20: 15 [1d20=15]
[22:23]	<Stevimaru>	Yeah, Gary's down. Damage?
[22:23]	<Happymancer>	2d12+21+25
[22:23]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Happymancer, 2d12+21+25: 58 [2d12=11,1]
[22:23]	<Stevimaru>	76
[22:24]	<Happymancer>	(She is, but you can't tell if this is the real tail, or the real head)
[22:24]	<Happymancer>	It has eyes, a mouth, and everything
[22:24]	<Stevimaru>	"Dammit..."
[22:24]	<Stevimaru>	He returns Gary and has another antidote, then lets out...
[22:25]	<Stevimaru>	Klaus
[22:25]	<Stevimaru>	Speed 4
[22:25]	<Stevimaru>	He's still working on the (probably false) assumption that this thing is a ground type because of the burrowing.
[22:27]	<Stevimaru>	He could probably solve this problem easily by using his pokedex
[22:27]	<Stevimaru>	But who knows?
[22:28]	=-=	Happymancer has changed the topic to “Steve | Pandorica > Klaus”
[22:28]	<Happymancer>	It charges the large crab and attempts a dragon tail
[22:29]	<Happymancer>	1d20
[22:29]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Happymancer, 1d20: 14 [1d20=14]
[22:29]	<Happymancer>	1d10+15+10+25
[22:29]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Happymancer, 1d10+15+10+25: 58 [1d10=8]
[22:29]	<Happymancer>	Klaus is blasted back through the foliage as he's knocked away from the battle
[22:29]	<Stevimaru>	Klaus is hit hard and ejected. Steve has to switch out! :B
[22:30]	<Stevimaru>	Out comes Dux, then.
[22:30]	<Stevimaru>	Speed 16
[22:30]	<Happymancer>	Your action?
[22:30]	=-=	Happymancer has changed the topic to “Steve | Pandorica > Dux”
[22:30]	<Stevimaru>	(I forget, did Dux learn any new moves?)
[22:31]	<Happymancer>	(He had false swipe, give him detect)
[22:32]	<Stevimaru>	"Let her go... JUST LET HER GO!!" he practically screams. He runs at the thing, flailing his fists and knife.
[22:32]	<Stevimaru>	1d20 Close Combat
[22:32]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Stevimaru, Close Combat: 16 [1d20=16]
[22:32]	<Stevimaru>	5d10+20+5+9+5+5 this is a terrible idea btw
[22:32]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Stevimaru, this is a terrible idea btw: 85 [5d10=5,9,9,10,8]
[22:33]	<Stevimaru>	He aims for the creature's "tail", trying to knock Kal loose.
[22:33]	<Happymancer>	As you slam into it, it doesn't seem effective, but you manage to knock her loose
[22:34]	<Happymancer>	It rolls up in retaliation and spins in place, blasting energy out at you
[22:34]	<Happymancer>	1d20 Dragon pulse
[22:34]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Happymancer, Dragon pulse: 4 [1d20=4]
[22:34]	<Stevimaru>	"I don't care how big you are, you're going to regret hurting her!"
[22:34]	<Stevimaru>	Let's go for...
[22:35]	<Stevimaru>	Aerial Ace, sure.
[22:35]	<Stevimaru>	1d20 crit check
[22:35]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Stevimaru, crit check: 12 [1d20=12]
[22:35]	<Stevimaru>	Nope
[22:35]	<Stevimaru>	1d10+10+24
[22:35]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Stevimaru, 1d10+10+24: 42 [1d10=8]
[22:36]	<Happymancer>	It's neutral
[22:36]	<Stevimaru>	Targeting the same end as Steve
[22:36]	<Happymancer>	Your action again
[22:37]	<Stevimaru>	He steps back a moment, gritting his teeth before pulling out his pokedex. He should have done this to begin with.
[22:37]	<Happymancer>	It appears to be a variant species of Scolipede, Dragon/Poison, but after that, the pokedex can't recognize it
[22:37]	<Happymancer>	That's your action?
[22:37]	<Stevimaru>	Is that all I can do?
[22:39]	<Stevimaru>	What kind of action is the pokedex?
[22:39]	<Happymancer>	No what else are you doing?
[22:39]	<Happymancer>	I'll say a free
[22:39]	<Stevimaru>	"Dragon... I really should have figured." he mutters. "Everything else here is." he leaps backwards, dragging Kal with him, before emptying his hands and going with Normal Gaol.
[22:40]	<Stevimaru>	2#1d20 Weapon Rain
[22:40]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Stevimaru, Weapon Rain: 1 [1d20=1], 13 [1d20=13]
[22:40]	<Stevimaru>	2d12+21+33
[22:40]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Stevimaru, 2d12+21+33: 64 [2d12=6,4]
[22:40]	<Stevimaru>	(How are you fluffing Normal Type Gaol anyway?)
[22:41]	<Happymancer>	A bolt of energy
[22:41]	<OmegaX|Laptorp>	(Huh. I imagined it differently.)
[22:41]	<OmegaX|Laptorp>	(I always imagined it as an electrified dagger and normal type was just de-electrified)
[22:42]	<Stevimaru>	(Electric gaol shoots lightning bolts)
[22:42]	<Happymancer>	It stomps towards you, attempting a second dragon pulse
[22:42]	<Happymancer>	1d20
[22:42]	<Stevimaru>	(Apparently normal type shoots normal lasers)
[22:42]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Happymancer, 1d20: 20 [1d20=20]
[22:42]	<Happymancer>	And hits all three of you
[22:42]	<OmegaX|Laptorp>	D:
[22:42]	<Stevimaru>	WELP
[22:42]	<Stevimaru>	okay, bring it bro
[22:43]	<Happymancer>	6d10+30+10+20
[22:43]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Happymancer, 6d10+30+10+20: 98 [6d10=10,1,7,5,9,6]
[22:43]	<Stevimaru>	Steve's hurt badly!
[22:44]	<Stevimaru>	"This isn't good..."
[22:44]	<Happymancer>	(Is Dux fine?)
[22:44]	<Stevimaru>	Dux is up
[22:45]	<Stevimaru>	But badly injured since his new base stats caused his special defense to drop sharply
[22:45]	<Happymancer>	(His action then)
[22:45]	<Stevimaru>	(Can I have him discard his Stick?)
[22:45]	<Happymancer>	(in exchange for something else?)
[22:45]	<Happymancer>	(Yeah)
[22:45]	<Stevimaru>	(No, having no held item)
[22:46]	<Stevimaru>	(Because fuuuck acrobatics on a pokemon with a unique item)
[22:46]	<Happymancer>	(Oh yes then)
[22:46]	<Happymancer>	(Err, wait, that's Klutz's big thing)
[22:46]	<Stevimaru>	(Also, I forgot stab on aerial ace)
[22:46]	<Stevimaru>	(Derp)
[22:46]	<Stevimaru>	(It was 9)
[22:47]	<Stevimaru>	(In that case...)
[22:47]	<Stevimaru>	1d20 Night Slash
[22:47]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Stevimaru, Night Slash: 13 [1d20=13]
[22:47]	<Stevimaru>	(3 off a crit)
[22:47]	<Stevimaru>	2d12+10+24
[22:47]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Stevimaru, 2d12+10+24: 47 [2d12=3,10]
[22:48]	<Happymancer>	It takes another hit and screeches again
[22:48]	<Happymancer>	The plates of armor rattling slightly as it is struck in it's soft underbelly
[22:48]	<Stevimaru>	He's breathing hard, his legs starting to quiver again. He's barely holding on, himself... he's unsure if he can win this, honestly, and running seems like a really good option right now.
[22:49]	<Stevimaru>	"Kal... you had a lot of faith in me, but... maybe I just am a coward after all..."
[22:50]	<Stevimaru>	He looks down at the unconscious woman though.
[22:50]	<Stevimaru>	"...but..."
[22:51]	<Stevimaru>	"I don't think I'd be able to live it down if I ran from something that hurt you like this..." he sets her down and drinks a lemonade. "I just hope I don't get us both killed."
[22:52]	<Stevimaru>	Scolio's turn
[22:53]	<Happymancer>	It charges you, blasting forward with a Draco meteor
[22:53]	<Happymancer>	1d20
[22:53]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Happymancer, 1d20: 13 [1d20=13]
[22:53]	<Happymancer>	AC 4
[22:53]	<Happymancer>	So that's a hit?
[22:53]	<Stevimaru>	9 evasion
[22:53]	<Stevimaru>	:<
[22:53]	<Stevimaru>	1d20 Dux intercept
[22:53]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Stevimaru, Dux intercept: 1 [1d20=1]
[22:54]	<Stevimaru>	noep
[22:54]	<Happymancer>	5d10+20+10+20 on the both of you
[22:54]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Happymancer, on the both of you: 73 [5d10=2,3,3,9,6]
[22:54]	<Happymancer>	(It's a blast)
[22:54]	<Stevimaru>	"Augh!"
[22:55]	<Stevimaru>	Dux wearily flies in with a Slash!
[22:55]	<Stevimaru>	1d20
[22:55]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Stevimaru, 1d20: 14 [1d20=14]
[22:55]	<Stevimaru>	(TWO OFF ;-;)
[22:55]	<Stevimaru>	2d12+10+24
[22:55]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Stevimaru, 2d12+10+24: 56 [2d12=12,10]
[22:56]	<Happymancer>	It takes another hit and screeches in anger, pain, and humiliation
[22:56]	<Happymancer>	The huge creature rushing forward at you Steve
[22:56]	<Happymancer>	1d20 Dragon Rush
[22:56]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Happymancer, Dragon Rush: 13 [1d20=13]
[22:56]	<Stevimaru>	(It got another turn?)
[22:56]	<Happymancer>	(Oh oop, go ahead)
[22:56]	<Happymancer>	(Was thinking that was yours)
[22:57]	<Stevimaru>	"JUST STOP BOTHERING US, YOU HORRID THING!"
[22:57]	<Stevimaru>	2#1d20 third weapon rain
[22:57]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Stevimaru, third weapon rain: 5 [1d20=5], 2 [1d20=2]
[22:57]	<Stevimaru>	Welp
[22:57]	<Happymancer>	Plink plink
[22:57]	<Stevimaru>	13 barely hits
[22:57]	<Stevimaru>	1d20 let's try an intercept on THAT
[22:57]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Stevimaru, let's try an intercept on THAT: 4 [1d20=4]
[22:57]	<Happymancer>	4d12+17+32+10
[22:57]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Happymancer, 4d12+17+32+10: 70 [4d12=2,4,3,2]
[22:58]	<Stevimaru>	Steve is lashed by the attack and has blood pouring from his wounds.
[22:58]	<Happymancer>	It slams you into a tree, one horn piercing your gut and pinning you to the tree
[22:58]	<Happymancer>	(Still up, and if so by how much?)
[22:58]	<Stevimaru>	"I'm... I'm sorry, Kal..."
[22:58]	<Stevimaru>	(6 HP)
[22:59]	<Happymancer>	Dux's action?
[22:59]	<Stevimaru>	1d20 one more Aerial Ace
[22:59]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Stevimaru, one more Aerial Ace: 15 [1d20=15]
[22:59]	<Stevimaru>	1d10+10+24+9
[22:59]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Stevimaru, 1d10+10+24+9: 48 [1d10=5]
[23:00]	<Happymancer>	And your action?
[23:00]	<Stevimaru>	Can't really throw knives from here, so he switches Gaol to an underhanded grip and tries stabbing at the thing's eyes.
[23:00]	<Stevimaru>	No miss knife attack!
[23:00]	<Stevimaru>	1d20 crit check
[23:00]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Stevimaru, crit check: 5 [1d20=5]
[23:00]	<Happymancer>	The bird slashes at it, getting in between its armor and trying to get it off its master
[23:00]	<Happymancer>	Roll damage
[23:00]	<Stevimaru>	2d12+21+33
[23:01]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Stevimaru, 2d12+21+33: 71 [2d12=6,11]
[23:01]	<Happymancer>	You stab the knife into its eye and its screeches quickly die out, the monster falling to the ground
[23:01]	* Stevimaru	is assumedly dragged along with it if he's impaled
[23:02]	<Happymancer>	But unfortunately in doing so it pulls the horn out of your middle
[23:02]	<Happymancer>	And you feel your hands go cold as the ground underneath you becomes warm
[23:02]	<Happymancer>	The mud around you turning red
[23:03]	<Stevimaru>	He breathes in and out, unable to force himself to move, just staring at whatever's fallen into his gaze.
[23:03]	<Stevimaru>	"I... fucked up..."
[23:03]	<Happymancer>	And you feel sand hit your face, the hot wind blowing past you
[23:03]	<Happymancer>	When you open your eyes, you are half buried in the sand
[23:03]	<Stevimaru>	"...huh?"
[23:04]	<Stevimaru>	"Pfff!"
[23:04]	<Happymancer>	The wound in your gut still there, but not nearly as bad
[23:04]	<Stevimaru>	He spits sand out of his mouth.
[23:04]	<Happymancer>	Full health -36
[23:04]	<Stevimaru>	"Augh... hell..."
[23:04]	<Happymancer>	Regain uses of features and those two poison heals
[23:04]	<Happymancer>	Kalipso tromps over, "There you are, hell, I couldn't find you, what happened?!"
[23:04]	<Happymancer>	She starts digging you out
[23:05]	<Stevimaru>	"What do you mean, what happened?! Where's that... thing that was burrowing everywhere?! Where are we?" he looks around.
[23:05]	<Happymancer>	"Outside of Auburn."
[23:05]	<Stevimaru>	"...that's impossible, isn't it?"
[23:05]	<Happymancer>	She points to the east where the plateau sits
[23:05]	<Stevimaru>	He has a look.
[23:05]	<Happymancer>	It's there indeed
[23:06]	<Stevimaru>	"Ugh..." he clutches his stomach.
[23:06]	<Happymancer>	"Christ."
[23:06]	<Stevimaru>	"Did we die...?"
[23:06]	<Happymancer>	She pain splits with you, regain health and your gut closes up a bit
[23:06]	<Happymancer>	"Sure hope we didn't, I've still got a fair bit of living to do with you."
[23:07]	<Stevimaru>	"I don't think being dead's supposed to hurt this much either, christ. Thanks, Kal."
[23:07]	<Happymancer>	"We've gotta hurry though."
[23:07]	<Stevimaru>	"Why?"
[23:07]	<Happymancer>	She pulls you out of the sand, "Well we've got to find you."
[23:08]	<Stevimaru>	"...What are you on about? I'm not following what just happened..."
[23:08]	<Stevimaru>	He brushes himself off as he gets up, wincing.
[23:08]	<Stevimaru>	"I couldn't wake you up, we were being attacked by that... what did the pokedex say? Scoliopede? Hermes got hurt..."
[23:09]	<Happymancer>	"I couldn't find YOU."
[23:10]	<Stevimaru>	"I think... I got it though."
[23:10]	<Stevimaru>	"But it got me, too, and when I woke up, I was here."
[23:10]	<Stevimaru>	"So, what, are we in my head now or something?"
[23:10]	<Happymancer>	She looks around, pointing out, "Did you really wear big purple boots when you went out into the desert as a kid?"
[23:11]	<Stevimaru>	He just looks exhausted.
[23:11]	<Stevimaru>	"Yep."
[23:11]	<Happymancer>	She helps you walk
[23:11]	<Stevimaru>	He looks where she pointed.
[23:11]	* Stevimaru	slings his arm over her shoulder.
[23:12]	<Happymancer>	Where she's pointing you see a kid, barely older than a toddler waddling through the sand, following an aron
[23:12]	<Stevimaru>	"Always did want an Aron... didn't ever realize what they grew up into..."
[23:12]	<Happymancer>	As the aron walks further he hurries to catch up, and soon he does catch up, trying to pick up the heavy steel type
[23:13]	<Happymancer>	As the sand around him starts to sink into a sand pit
[23:13]	<Happymancer>	He keeps on trying to hold onto the aron, not matter if it's dragging him down
[23:13]	<Happymancer>	Kalipso pulls you along, "Come on!"
[23:13]	* Stevimaru	grits his teeth and hobbles forward the best he can with his injury. "Was I always that dumb? Kids..."
[23:14]	<Happymancer>	It's not too bad now, you aren't impaired at all
[23:14]	<Stevimaru>	"It's a damn wonder I'm still alive today."
[23:14]	<Stevimaru>	He eases off of Kalipso once he's sure he can move.
[23:14]	<Stevimaru>	And then hurries onward.
[23:14]	<Happymancer>	She breaks into a sprint, trying to reach the sand pit,
[23:14]	<Happymancer>	1d20+2
[23:15]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Happymancer, 1d20+2: 10 [1d20=8]
[23:15]	<Happymancer>	The little Steve manages to push the aron up the side of the pit slowly, as the rest of the sand starts to pull them both down
[23:15]	<Happymancer>	The aron is nervously working its stubbly feet as fast as he can
[23:16]	* Stevimaru	wonders if he can even interact with all of this.
[23:16]	<Stevimaru>	"Is this just a memory, or what?" he calls out to Kal.
[23:17]	<Happymancer>	Your wonders are stopped as Kalipso jumps into the pit and snags LilSteve by the back of his shirt, chucking him out onto the sand to his loud protests
[23:17]	<Stevimaru>	"...huh."
[23:17]	<Happymancer>	You're by the pit as well now
[23:17]	<Stevimaru>	"Hey, don't get caught in there yourself!"
[23:18]	* Stevimaru	reaches out a hand to her.
[23:18]	<Happymancer>	She's picking up the aron with a lot of effort, "God, you need to lay off the heavy metals little guy." She grabs your hand
[23:18]	* Stevimaru	pulls her out, looking at little Steve and the aron.
[23:18]	<Happymancer>	You pull them both up and out and she rolls the aron on it's feet
[23:19]	<Happymancer>	Little Steve glares up at you, "I was taking care of it! I coulda, I coulda picked him up and then just jumped out of there, easy, real easy!"
[23:19]	<Happymancer>	The Aron is wobbling away, fairly shaken up by almost getting eaten
[23:19]	<Stevimaru>	"Yeah, yeah, just keep practicing before you try a crazy stunt like that again, kid." he crosses his arms, grinning.
[23:21]	<Stevimaru>	<I don't really get what this has to do with anything, though.> he comments to Kal, thinking as he looks around.
[23:21]	<Happymancer>	<I don't either, nothing really happened.>
[23:21]	<Happymancer>	1d100

[23:22]	<Happymancer>	As the pokemon opens its maw and starts climbing out of the pit it created
[23:23]	<Happymancer>	It breathes out the sand it collected in a dust cloud, the scolipede scurrying up the side with its many legs
[23:23]	<Stevimaru>	He baaaacks up. "Another one...? Oh god, what?"
[23:23]	<Happymancer>	But its mouth is much different than normal, the multi segmented jaw opens up wider and wider, and starts scooping up the sand as it scurries towards you, sifting through the sand to get to the goodies
[23:23]	<Happymancer>	Little Steve leans back in horror
[23:24]	<Stevimaru>	"Look out!"

[23:26]	<Stevimaru>	"The one I fought earlier was a dragon type... wanna bet this one's a ground type?" he grits his teeth, holding his place. For some reason he doesn't seem quite as scared as before.
[23:27]	<Happymancer>	She nods, "It's not really caring that we don't want to fight, just wants to eat, keep on eating.."
[23:27]	<Stevimaru>	He lets out Klaus, on this line of thought. He doesn't really imagine the pokedex is going to work here.
[23:27]	<Happymancer>	(It won't)

[00:42]	<Stevimaru>	<HNNNGH.>
[00:42]	<Happymancer>	You are getting pulled back in by the sand, and the one handed pulling isn't helping
[00:42]	<Stevimaru>	He attempts to turn the sand under him into rock.
[00:43]	<Stevimaru>	Hopefully since he's on top of it it won't fling around and become an even more dangerous hazard.
[00:43]	<Happymancer>	It sort of helps, but it quickly gets dragged past you along with the sand
[00:43]	<Happymancer>	Hope he's ready for some terrible indigestion
[00:44]	<Happymancer>	Roll again
[00:44]	<Stevimaru>	He attempts to use his teeth in aiding his arm this time.

[00:44]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Stevimaru, 1d20+10: 15 [1d20=5]
[00:44]	<Stevimaru>	Not really much difference and god that hurts.
[00:45]	<Happymancer>	You continue sliding, and now your teeth feel loose
[00:45]	<Happymancer>	You're starting to think that one of these two will have to go
[00:45]	<Stevimaru>	He frowns... and eventually knows he has to make the decision.
[00:45]	<Stevimaru>	He lets the Aron go.
[00:45]	<Stevimaru>	And pulls Little Steve up.
[00:46]	<Kit>	(D:)

[00:46]	<Kit>	(Nooooo)
[00:46]	<Kit>	(How could you do thaaaat)
[00:46]	<Stevimaru>	(Steve will try to go back for it ;-;)
[00:46]	<Kit>	(He better D:<)
[00:47]	<Happymancer>	It flails as it falls into the sand and starts getting pulled back in
[00:47]	<Happymancer>	"Roooo!"
[00:47]	<Stevimaru>	<Sorry! Try to hang in there!>
[00:47]	<Stevimaru>	He attempts to solidify the sand into a wall behind the Aron.
[00:47]	<Happymancer>	Roll a strength check now
[00:47]	<Stevimaru>	1d20+10
[00:47]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Stevimaru, 1d20+10: 19 [1d20=9]
[00:48]	<Happymancer>	You start pulling yourself up a lot easier now
[00:48]	<Happymancer>	You soon reach the mouth, but it's not open, what do?
[00:48]	<Happymancer>	Sand is sifting in through the gaps in its teeth
[00:48]	<Stevimaru>	Punch the uvula
[00:48]	<Happymancer>	Roll an attack

[00:49]	<Happymancer>	You punch up, but instead accidentally lose your grip and start slipping again
[00:49]	<Kit>	(Karmaaaaa)
[00:50]	<Stevimaru>	He grabs the rope again, gritting his teeth, and tries reaching for a knife to stab the inside of this thing's throat with.

[00:50]	<Happymancer>	It's a lot easier just to slash at it
[00:51]	<Happymancer>	And is a lot more successful, it roars in pain and opens its mouth
[00:51]	<Stevimaru>	He tries to heave little Steve through.
[00:51]	<Stevimaru>	<Hang on!>
[00:51]	<Happymancer>	Strength to rip him off your leg

[00:51]	<Stevimaru>	<And I didn't mean to my leg!>
[00:52]	<Happymancer>	You easily chuck him out, hearing him thud against the sand and wail in the bright light
[00:52]	* Stevimaru	then slides back down the rope, looking for the Aron.
[00:53]	<Happymancer>	With aura you see it bouncing back towards a churning open system stomach
[00:53]	<Happymancer>	Your clothes have actually started getting sanded away from the wear of the stream
[00:53]	* Stevimaru	concentrates as much sand as he can towards that hole and turns it into rock.
[00:53]	<Happymancer>	take three more turns of sandstorm if you haven't so far
[00:54]	<Stevimaru>	<I'm coming, don't give up!>
[00:54]	<Stevimaru>	(Okay, done)
[00:54]	<Stevimaru>	He tries to make a pass for the Aron again once he's down there.
[00:54]	<Happymancer>	He's past the end of the rope, do you let go and go after him?
[00:55]	<Stevimaru>	Yes.
[00:55]	<Happymancer>	It's wiggling and trying to swim through the sand as hard as he can
[00:55]	<Stevimaru>	He slides down, letting go of the rope, and grabs at it.
[00:55]	<Happymancer>	Strength again
[00:55]	<Stevimaru>	1d20+10 DRAMATIC
[00:55]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Stevimaru, DRAMATIC: 21 [1d20=11]
[00:56]	<Happymancer>	You grab him up and start pushing against the sand
[00:56]	<Stevimaru>	<...Now how the fuck am I getting out of here.>
[00:56]	<Happymancer>	He's a lot smoother than most arons now, but you hold him in close
[00:56]	<Stevimaru>	Well, only one thing to try.
[00:57]	<Stevimaru>	He solidifies some rock under his feet for the split second moment he needs sure footing...
[00:57]	<Stevimaru>	and uses Bounce
[00:57]	<Happymancer>	Roll it
[00:57]	<Stevimaru>	1d20
[00:57]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Stevimaru, 1d20: 16 [1d20=16]
[00:57]	<Happymancer>	And which way
[00:57]	<Happymancer>	Forward
[00:57]	<Happymancer>	Or up
[00:57]	<Stevimaru>	Forward
[00:57]	<Happymancer>	You leap forward and slam down in the locomora's mouth

[01:00]	<Happymancer>	In a spray of digestive fluids and sand, with chitin shards shooting up, you land in the sand nearby covered in goop.
[01:00]	|<--	Stevimaru has left irc.thisisnotatrueending.com (Ping timeout)
[01:00]	<Happymancer>	The Aron wiggles and cries out
[01:00]	* Steve	lands like a badass, of course.
[01:00]	<Steve>	He puts the Aron down.
[01:01]	<Steve>	"You ok, little guy?" he looks for Little Steve.
[01:01]	<Steve>	He's chuckling to himself. He's never felt this badass before.
[01:01]	<Happymancer>	Little Steve is further back, holding onto Kalipso as she pats his back
[01:01]	<Happymancer>	Klaus waddles over after righting himself. The huge scolipede decides that he'll find lunch someplace else, and hopefully heal up :<
[01:01]	* Steve	goes to collect Klaus, then jogs over to meet them with the Aron presumably
[01:02]	<Happymancer>	It burrows down and leaves
[01:02]	<Steve>	"Yeah, that's what you get!" he jeers after it.
[01:02]	<Steve>	He then collapses onto his ass next to Kal and LilSteve.
[01:02]	<Happymancer>	She picks up little Steve and walks over to you, "Shhh, shh it's alright."
[01:03]	<Happymancer>	The sandstorm dies down quickly enough
[01:03]	<Steve>	Or not
[01:03]	<Steve>	"Is he okay?"
[01:03]	<Steve>	"Am... I okay, I guess?"
[01:03]	<Happymancer>	He's crying and scared, but ok
[01:03]	* Steve	smiles a bit.
[01:04]	<Happymancer>	She rubs at his back, <He's ok, shaken up, but alright.>
[01:04]	<Happymancer>	She rocks him slightly, trying to calm him down, then grins, <You were amazing there, and apparently you were also adorable.>
[01:05]	<Steve>	<Hah... thanks.>
[01:05]	<Steve>	He rubs the back of his head a bit sheepishly.
[01:05]	<Steve>	Then he pats LilSteve on the head.
[01:06]	<Steve>	<...Forgot to go get my grappling hook, but it probably doesn't matter here.>
[01:06]	<Happymancer>	Eventually lilSteve falls asleep, worn out and sorta beaten up
[01:06]	<Happymancer>	<I think it'll be fine.>
[01:06]	<Steve>	<So, what now?>
[01:07]	<Kit>	(The Aron, the Aron :<)
[01:07]	<Steve>	Steve put it down a bit ago.
[01:07]	<Steve>	He looks over at where it went to.
[01:09]	<Happymancer>	The Aron is unsteadily walking around, then plops down
[01:09]	<Happymancer>	Staring wide eyed at everything
[01:09]	* Steve	would consider trying to catch it if this weren't probably just a figment of his mind.
[01:10]	<Kit>	(At least comfort it :<)
[01:10]	<Steve>	(Yeah, I was going to)
[01:10]	<Kit>	(kay)
[01:10]	<Kit>	(I'll be quiet now)
[01:10]	<Steve>	He goes over and kneels, down, patting it. "Sorry for the scare back there. I wasn't going to abandon you."
[01:11]	<Happymancer>	It burrows slightly in the sand then shakes the sand off and nods, "Roooon."
[01:11]	<Steve>	"I dunno what ever happened to you, but... good luck out there, and try not to get eaten again." he grins.
[01:13]	<Happymancer>	It waddles off, jumping at everything that moves
[01:13]	<Steve>	He turns back to Kal, waiting for the answer to his question. "Kinda wish I could bring it with me, but you know."
[01:14]	<Happymancer>	"There will be more arons, and preferably ones that exist outside of your thoughts."
[01:15]	<Happymancer>	She stands up, "Let's go get you back home. You're sleeping so heavily."
[01:16]	<Steve>	"Yeah."
[01:16]	<Happymancer>	She can't help but smile down at you/him
[01:16]	<Steve>	"Doesn't look like much, does he?"
[01:16]	<Steve>	"Hah..."
[01:16]	<Happymancer>	"I think he looks like he could be the greatest."
[01:16]	<Steve>	"Sweet dreams, kid. Maybe we can both rest a little easier."
[01:17]	<Happymancer>	As you near the city gates you jerk awake, holding at your gut where you feel like someone stabbed you
[01:17]	<Steve>	"Nnnngh, fuck."
[01:17]	<Happymancer>	Kalipso clenches at your shoulders and jerks up as well, "Hoooly shit, what just happened."
[01:18]	<Steve>	"I tried to tell you!"
[01:18]	<Happymancer>	The moon shines above you
[01:18]	<Happymancer>	"Pede pede."
[01:18]	<Steve>	"My head wasn't the only place I had to fight a damn Scoliopede."
[01:18]	<Steve>	He looks over. >=/
[01:18]	<Happymancer>	A scolipede tries to nudge you both out of the way to get at the plants that sit underneath you
[01:18]	<Steve>	He sits up, looking around. Is the place torn up?
[01:19]	<Steve>	IS his gut still wounded?
[01:19]	<Happymancer>	It's a bit larger than normal, and has plates of armor like the one you fought, but it's horns are not horns, but regal crests
[01:19]	<Happymancer>	No, it just feels like it
[01:19]	<Steve>	"Wait..."
[01:19]	<Happymancer>	All pokemon are at full, no loss of abilities, and +1 Trainer level
[01:19]	<Happymancer>	The area is not torn up at all
[01:19]	<Steve>	"This place is supposed to be a lot more..."
[01:20]	<Steve>	"And that Scoliopede's..."
[01:20]	<Steve>	He just sits a moment, not sure what to think.
[01:20]	<Steve>	"Huh."
[01:20]	<Happymancer>	It noses at you both, trying to get at the Blue Haze flowers
[01:20]	* Steve	moves aside to let it.
[01:20]	<Happymancer>	It nibbles on the plants happily
[01:21]	<Steve>	"I could have sworn that was the first one I fought... but it had different horns."
[01:21]	<Happymancer>	Kalipso moves over as well, "What happened with you, I woke up in the desert and wondered around by myself for nearly a few hours."
[01:21]	<Happymancer>	"I still feel all sunburned."
[01:21]	<Steve>	"By yourself? Wait a sec."
[01:21]	<Steve>	"You didn't meet up with me at all?"
[01:21]	<Happymancer>	"I did at the end."
[01:22]	<Happymancer>	"With LilSteve and the big train scolipede."
[01:22]	<Steve>	"Oh, okay, good."
[01:22]	<Happymancer>	The dragon scolipede looks over, munching on the flowers
[01:22]	<Steve>	He pops his neck. "I guess while you were wandering, I 'woke up' here. The entire place was being torn apart by something burrowing."
[01:22]	<Steve>	"It took out Hermes in the meantime, and then showed itself... It was a Scoliopede, a lot like that one."
[01:22]	<Happymancer>	(She mindread you)
[01:23]	<Happymancer>	"Yeah.. but a lot bigger."
[01:23]	<Steve>	"Huh."
[01:23]	<Steve>	"Okay, new plan."
[01:23]	<Steve>	"Don't try psychic shenanigans next to hallucinogenic plants."

[01:25]	<Steve>	"I feel... different, though, after all that."
[01:25]	<Happymancer>	It looks at you, and sits down next to you
[01:25]	<Happymancer>	Hermes is snoring on his side nearby
[01:26]	<Happymancer>	And the arcanine is staring you down from inside the den
[01:26]	<Steve>	"Huh, guess confronting my fears helped me out a bit." he looks at the Scoliopede, deciding it doesn't deserve his scorn if the other two were from him tripping balls.
[01:26]	<Steve>	"You seem awfully tame."
[01:26]	<Steve>	He says to the scoliopede.
[01:28]	<Happymancer>	<What mora would you expect from mede?>
[01:29]	<Happymancer>	It wiggles its tail and chomps down on more blue haze
[01:30]	<Steve>	<Oh! Another aura pokemon... huh.>
[01:30]	<Steve>	<I don't suppose you know anything about what happened to me a bit ago, do you?>
[01:31]	<Steve>	It's a fair assumption given that this thing looks so similar.
[01:32]	<Happymancer>	<Well you two were sleeping, andora you didn't move for a long timede.>
[01:32]	<Steve>	(Hnnngh :3c)
[01:32]	<Steve>	<Alright, that's about all I can ask. Thank you.>
[01:32]	<Steve>	He has a look at Kal. "Think we should be getting back now?"
[01:33]	<Steve>	He looks up. "It's... a lot later than I expected." :B
[01:34]	<Steve>	"Thanks for helping me out, Kal..."
[01:34]	<Steve>	"I think I do feel a lot better now."
[01:35]	<Happymancer>	She lays back, "Did it rain again while we were sleeping? Because there's a lot more mud than there was before."
[01:35]	<Steve>	He laughs. "And yet you're wallowing in it."
[01:35]	<Happymancer>	She waves a hand from where she's laid down
[01:36]	<Steve>	He quickly texts the others that he's fine, then scooches next to her.
[01:37]	<Steve>	"If you don't do something, I'm going to have to give you a bath." he threatens, wagging his finger.
[01:37]	* OmegaX|Laptorp	receives said text @ whatever time this is.
[01:37]	<Happymancer>	Like midnight
[01:38]	<Happymancer>	"You're just as muddy as I am, that's not fair."
[01:38]	<Happymancer>	She laughs
[01:38]	<Steve>	He chuckles. "Well, you'll have to do the same to me then."
[01:38]	<Steve>	He lays down next to her.
[01:40]	<Steve>	(I guess they can hang around here for the rest of the night)
[01:40]	<Steve>	(That's probably sufficient)

[01:46]	<Kain>	Especially if I can teach Dux some fightan moves
[01:48]	<Happymancer>	I sort of wanted you to fight the scolipede and maybe capture it :S

[02:06]	<Steve>	Takes takes another hit, but is still going!
[02:06]	<Steve>	"Okay, use False Swipe!"
[02:06]	<Steve>	1d20
[02:06]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Steve, 1d20: 19 [1d20=19]
[02:06]	<Steve>	Critical!
[02:06]	<Steve>	(That doubles JUST the dice right)
[02:06]	<Happymancer>	I've been doubling dice and bonus
[02:07]	<Happymancer>	But it MIGHT just be dice
[02:07]	<Steve>	(What I mean is not his attack)
[02:07]	<Happymancer>	including any base amount in the Damage Dice Roll.
[02:07]	<Happymancer>	yeah
[02:07]	<DamienLunas>	(it's dice and bonus I think)
[02:07]	<Happymancer>	Just damage dice and bonus
[02:07]	<Steve>	4d6+36
[02:07]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Steve, 4d6+36: 43 [4d6=1,3,2,1]
[02:07]	<DamienLunas>	(I'm fairly sure I looked it up recently and that's what it said)
[02:07]	<Happymancer>	(Just looked it up, that's right)
[02:08]	<Happymancer>	And he stumbles to a knee, looking fairly hurt
[02:08]	<Happymancer>	At least below a third
[02:08]	<Steve>	Steve isn't ready just yet... he waits.
[02:08]	<Steve>	(Or hm)
[02:08]	<Steve>	(Would the critical hit bonus to capture be worth trying now...)
[02:09]	<Steve>	Eh, let's try it.
[02:09]	<Steve>	1d100+5 POKEBALL GO
[02:09]	<DiceMaid-9001>	Steve, POKEBALL GO: 14 [1d100=9]
[02:09]	<Steve>	Steve throws a regular pokeball at the 'pede!
[02:10]	<Happymancer>	Success!
[02:10]	<Steve>	"...Hah! I did it!"
[02:10]	<Steve>	"Great job, Dux!"
[02:10]	<Happymancer>	Kalipso sits up, applauding
[02:10]	<Happymancer>	Level 45, Male Scolipede, Dragon/Poison
[02:10]	<Steve>	He grins, heading over to the ball, and letting the Scolipede out.
[02:11]	<Steve>	"Looks like we won. But don't worry, we're going to be great friends."
[02:11]	<Steve>	He proceeds to start healing it.
[02:11]	<Steve>	And then offers it some of his superfood anyway. :3c
[02:11]	<Happymancer>	Choose between Battle Armor/Poison Point, and high ability of Reactive Armor (When suffering from a condition increase Def/Sdef by 2)
[02:11]	<Steve>	(Niiice)
[02:12]	<Steve>	(Let's go with Battle Armor)
[02:12]	|<--	Aeros has left irc.thisisnotatrueending.com (Quit: )
[02:12]	<Steve>	<Do you have a name you're known by?>
[02:13]	<Happymancer>	Replace Bug Bite with Dragon Claw, Steamroller with Dragon Horn, and he knows Megahorn
[02:13]	<Steve>	(Whooo =D)
[02:14]	<Happymancer>	(And dragon pulse, derp, the reason he has aura)
[02:14]	<Happymancer>	<No, butora Pandorica is what the dragons callede me.>
[02:14]	<Steve>	Nature?
[02:14]	<Steve>	<Do you like that name?>
[02:17]	<Happymancer>	Nature +HP +SDEF, -SATK -SPD
[02:17]	<Happymancer>	Nature: Pleased
[02:17]	<Steve>	Ooh
[02:18]	<Steve>	(Pleased to meet you, I am a Scolipede)
[02:18]	<Happymancer>	Pleasant/Pleased whichever you prefer
[02:19]	* Steve	looks back at Kal, grinning.
[02:19]	<Happymancer>	She's smiling, "Now, I really have to know, do you like those flowers a lot?"
[02:20]	<Happymancer>	<Mmm, they have suchora a spicy bitede.>
[02:21]	<Steve>	"Hah... You like spicy foods, hm? I'll have to show you some of the stuff the humans make on the mainland." He seems pleased.
[02:23]	<Happymancer>	"I'm just glad you didn't pick up the scolipede that was hooked on hallucinogens." She goes over and pats him
[02:24]	<Happymancer>	"He's a big old guy, isn't he." She looks at you Steve, "You doin' alright?"
[02:24]	<Steve>	"Yeah, I feel... fine!"
[02:24]	<Steve>	"For once... it's not bothering me at all."
[02:25]	<Steve>	He punches the air a bit.
[02:25]	<Happymancer>	She hugs onto you, "You're not worn out after that?"
[02:26]	<Steve>	"My gut still hurts... phantom pain I guess? But other than that..." he puts his arm around her. "I feel great."
[02:27]	<Happymancer>	"Well sheesh, you're like a ball of energy."
[02:27]	<Steve>	"You haven't seen the half of it." he remarks.
[02:28]	<Happymancer>	"Pfff, was that a challenge or a brag."
[02:29]	<Steve>	"Both, maybe."
[02:30]	<Happymancer>	"Well then."
[02:32]	<Steve>	He grins, returning his pokemon. "Shall we find somewhere a bit less mud-covered to wallow in for the night?"
[02:32]	<Happymancer>	"I think that's an admirable goal." annnd mini
