	Venec: 	"Nya~an"
	DNA-D: 	Any reason Valerie doesn't have a mugshot? Just curious.
Kaorin Sakura: 	A lot of NPCs don't have them.
	DNA-D: 	Which means she's not important!
	DNA-D: 	\o/
Kaorin Sakura: 	And I think Jack said he'd be late today. Like, really late.
	DNA-D: 	That's the signal to just start when Ava appears then, correct?
Kaorin Sakura: 	She's here, isn't she?
	DNA-D: 	......Oh, right. She's been invisible most the day that I didn't even notice.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Tuesday, June 2nd.
2:55 P.M.
Welcome to the World of Pokémon!
	DNA-D: 	"...Hackett. How much longer until we are free of this mountain?"
	Venec: 	Venec walked cautiously across the ground, keeping at least one hand on the ground at nearly all times.
	Hackett: 	"This is the final floor."
	Venec: 	"Ho ho ho HO! It seems rocks can block the aura! Look!"
	DNA-D: 	"...A relief to hear."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Only if the rocks are big enough. And inanimate enough."
	Venec: 	"It does mean it's blocked though, and that's a world of difference. Valerie! You've been around this stuff, have you studied it at all or noticed anything about it?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Also means we shouldn't use Hackett as a meatshield."
	Valerie Latham: 	"Exposure to it does stuff..."
	Hackett: 	"I should think regardless, avoiding it as mch as possible."
	Valerie Latham: 	"Sometimes it does good things. Most of the time it does bad things. And being around it too much well...you saw the dead bodies before."
	Venec: 	Venec nodded, even though he was a ways away.
* Hackett looked behind itself as it moved ahead.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Should we be waiting for Crystal to catch up...?)
	Venec: 	"S'was what I was doing. Miranda's with her though, I have the feeling she'll Danny her way back if we go on.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...Hopefully."
	Venec: 	Venec looked down to his stomach, "... My shirt has a hole in it. When'd that get there?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"When that tentacle thing jabbed you, right?"
	Hackett: 	( Valerie is movable via players )
	Venec: 	"Yeah I guess... I never considered it before. I suppose Aneue always patches it up or something."
	Hackett: 	"Hmm, I can squeeze through, luckily."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...Hold up. What's that up ahead?"
	Hackett: 	"I do not recognize this."
	Venec: 	"We don't got a choice but to hold up..." Venec examines the thing...
: 	A field of force appears to impede your forward movement.
	Crystal: 	(Does Aura vision reveal anything?)
	Jupiter Roswell: 	Perception!
DNA: 	13 Jupiter; 15 Cepheus; 20 Deoxys
You whisper to Avara: It appears to be made of Aura. Normal type energy but not the common kind.
	Crystal: 	15 perception.
	Crystal: 	"It looks like... a variant of Normal-type energy?"
	Venec: 	Venec tries to kick it, not to hard though, to see what kind of give it has.
* DNA-D eyed it.
You whisper to DNA: Jupiter notices that it's blue.
Cepheus notices that it's wavy and covers the entire area from ground to ceiling.
DNA can tell that it's made of the same kind of energy generally used in the Protect move.
: 	Just test kicking it, Venec?
	Venec: 	yes
	Cepheus White: 	"All I can tell it's a force field, from ground to ceiling. We can't pass around it, I don't think."
	DNA-D: 	"It looks like a gigantic Protect, to me."
A loud 'crack' sound is heard as it resists Venec's kick entirely.
* DNA-D moved up near to it and eyed it closer.
	DNA-D: 	"...Do we have anyone who knows Feint?"
	Venec: 	"...huh. Well it's harder'n a marble wall."
* Valerie Latham eyed the thing suspiciously.
	Venec: 	"Noisy too. It had a reaction."
	Venec: 	"Hey Crystal, try hitting it with your foot or something."
	Crystal: 	"... With my foot?"
	Crystal: 	"Why my foot?"
	DNA-D: 	"...No one? Really?"
	Venec: 	"Harder to hurt. Knuckles are sensitive.
	Hackett: 	"I do not possess such an attack."
Avara: 	trying to remember if i used adaptable sheen today. i think yes
	DNA-D: 	"Hmm......"
Hackett: (( You did. ))
	Hackett: 	"'Kick' you say?"
* Crystal backs up a bit... then attempts a roundhouse kick on the wall.
	Venec: 	" 'was curious. You said normal type aura, and I'm a fighting type, maybe that crack was a reaction to me of some kind."
Another loud 'crack' echoes throughout the cave from the force of Crystal's kick being resisted.
	DNA-D: 	"I would think either Feint or possibly Brick Break might be ideal here."
	Crystal: 	"It's made of Normal energy, but... not the usual Normal energy."
	Hackett: 	Accuracy Check 2
'' ''
	Hackett: 	91 Physical Normal Damage!
The field of force shudders as it suffers 56 damage and fades slightly.
Unresolved value "HP".
	Venec: 	"... huh, the one time I don't start with jus' hittin it."
	Force 1: 	Force 1 loses 56 hit points.
	Venec: 	Venec focuses his energy, then lashes his arms out against the wall! 0
* DNA-D attempts to target the section that Hackett struck.
* DNA rolls: 1d20-3 => 6 - 3 = 3
	Venec: 	109 Physical Fighting damage.
	Force 3: 	Force 3 loses 74 hit points.
	DNA-D: 	58 Special Flying
	Force 1: 	Force 1 loses 23 hit points.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Pfft, that all, DNA?"
* Force 1 shines brilliantly!
* Force 1 shimmers a cone of brilliant energy!
All targets in the area suffer 79 damage!
Do not apply stats. Do not apply weaknesses or resistances.
	Hackett: 	"Khhggk!!"
	Hackett: 	Hackett loses 79 hit points.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	What's the roll to take an attack again?
	Jupiter Roswell: 	d20?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Whoops! It cannot miss. I forgot to mention that.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Nor can it critical.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	No, I mean, what's the roll to have someone else take the attack instead? d20?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Yes
	Cepheus White: 	6
Kaorin Sakura: 	What's Cepheus' Dex?
	Cepheus White: 	11
Cepheus attempts to take the hit for Jupiter, but it just not quick enough and instead watches as Jupiter takes the blow.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Hssssssssssssss!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	Jupiter Roswell loses 79 hit points.
	Venec: 	"Ho'boy! E'rryone not hittin' get back!"
	Hackett: 	"Nngh...."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"owowow..."
* Hackett limps back away from the force.
	Valerie Latham: 	"...This looks like an intricate trap designed as a wall."
	Venec: 	"He sprung something, so that might be the safest spot to hit again."
	Valerie Latham: 	"I'm more worried what happens now if we manage to actually break one."
	Valerie Latham: 	"Whoa, whoa! Who knows what that'll do!"
	Venec: 	Venec jumped over. "Then everyone stand back!" Venec waits a few moments.
* Jupiter Roswell recalled himself to his Poke Ball.
	Crystal: 	"Do you guys think there's a way to maybe cancel it from the other side?"
	Venec: 	"Splode probably." Venec answered Val.
Kaorin Sakura: 	4
	DNA-D: 	"Would you like me to look and see?"
	Venec: 	"Well, it has end points. Unless this thing shoots through all of north Kanto
Kaorin Sakura: 	Jupiter suffers another dent into his hide, taking -1 Sp.Def stage from his additional injury.
	Venec: 	"One more step back, for safety. Then I'm smackin."
	Venec: 	Venec pauses. Venec walks away. "I can do this from a range too, can't I."
	Venec: 	Venec readies a blast of energy and waits.
	DNA-D: 	"...he wouldn't."
	Cepheus White: 	"Yes, he would."
	Venec: 	"You guys are still pretty close. This whole wall might explode and I see the outline of the last blast behind you guys."
	Venec: 	Venec through his shiny Blast Ball!
	Venec: 	threw rather!
	DNA-D: 	"...Venec, if this gets us all killed, I'm going to kill you again for good measure."
	Venec: 	1
Kaorin Sakura: 	Solid connection.
	Venec: 	60 Physical Flying.
	Force 1: 	Force 1 loses 25 hit points.
* Force 1 crackles violently.
	Venec: 	As the explosion ensues Venec takes just long enough to point to the others to say "Ha!"
	DNA-D: 	"...well. If we aren't all a monkey's uncle."
	Crystal: 	"Not man enough to be an uncle."
* Force 1 erupts in a blinding swirl of rainbows ripping through the area for 57 damage!
This cannot miss and cannot critical.
Do not apply stats, weaknesses or resistances.
There is now a hole.
	DNA-D: 	"Neither am I but you don't see me talking about it."
	Venec: 	Venec loses 57 hit points.
	DNA-D: 	How wide is this hole?
	Venec: 	"Run run!" Venec dashes through the hole before the barrier repairs.
Force 1: 	One moment bro
Force 1: 	Return to your position.
Force 1: 	I said there was a hole.
	DNA-D: 	tell me when I can stop waiting
Force 1: 	Okay! Continue!
	DNA-D: 	Ah, so it's in the ground.
A familiar roar echoes from the hole.
	DNA-D: 	"Hackett."
	Venec: 	Venec Jumped over the hole!
	DNA-D: 	"Are you afraid of heights?"
	Crystal: 	"... Val, hold onto me real tight, okay?"
	Hackett: 	"I am fine."
	DNA-D: 	"Good."
	Valerie Latham: 	"Okay...!"
* DNA-D reached his arms out and hoisted Hackett over his shoulders.
	DNA-D: 	"Now hold on tight."
Avara: 	threaded on... THEGROUND! 10 squares north of crystal. acceptable?
* DNA-D rose into the air, carrying Hackett, clear over the hole in the ground.
	Hackett: 	"Hu-whoa!"
	DNA-D: 	"Mr. White. I'm coming back for you; hold tight."
Kaorin Sakura: 	That's fine, Avara.
	Cepheus White: 	"How on earth did you lift Hackett with such ease?"
	Valerie Latham: 	"Wheeeee, hee heee!"
	Venec: 	"Whew, accross. Is everyone okay?"
	Hackett: 	"...You organics are crazy."
	Hackett: 	"Insane."
	DNA-D: 	"Plenty of practice, and a lot of bulk. And yes, I'm fine."
* Crystal vine-slings her way through the air, sticking the landing a bit before letting Latham go. "That was fun."
	Hackett: 	"...Don't rub off on me. I prefer my sanity."
	Valerie Latham: 	"What is SANE around here anymore?"
	Crystal: 	"Everyone's a little crazy."
	Crystal: 	"It helps us survive."
	Cepheus White: 	"It's not like we're suicidal or anything."
	Cepheus White: 	"...Well, probably not."
	Hackett: 	"More of this hellish aura..."
	Hackett: 	"I think I can squeeze by again."
Avara: 	it's not projecting a full circle. intentional?
	Venec: 	Venec waved to the other one, "Hello!"
Hackett: (( Yes. ))
	Evelyn Soto: 	* -sob- -sob- -sob- -sob-
	Cepheus White: 	(Another one. Friend of Valerie's perhaps?)
	Valerie Latham: 	"...I...I don't recognize her."
	Crystal: 	"Hello?"
	DNA-D: 	"She appears to be in pain. Let's hold a moment."
	Cepheus White: 	"Hello there...? What's the matter?"
	Venec: 	Venec frowned. She didn't have charisma.
* Evelyn Soto opens her eyes and looks ahead at everyone.
Her eyes are beautiful jewels. As are her fingertips, toenails and teeth. Her sobbing sounds hollow as if distant.
	Venec: 	"Good thing Ane isn't out." Venec knew at least some of his ghosties.
	Cepheus White: 	"That's a Sableye...or something like one..." he whispered, mostly to himself.
* Crystal sits down, looking at the grey girl with jewel eyes. "Do you need help?"
	Evelyn Soto: 	"....Arrre....yooou reaaaaal...?"
	Valerie Latham: 	"I don't recognize her voice either."
	Crystal: 	"We're real. I'm Jenny Crystal, a coordinator. Who are you?"
	Venec: 	"She might be a ghost."
* Evelyn Soto looks around slowly before whimpering and clawing at her head.
	Evelyn Soto: 	"I-Iiiii..."
	Evelyn Soto: 	"Evellllllyn..."
	Valerie Latham: 	"Oh good, -phew-. Not related."
	Valerie Latham: 	"I was going to feel terrible if I couldn't recognize my sister."
	Venec: 	"Heh. Evelyn is a nice name though."
	DNA-D: 	"She's a little spacey though, isn't she?"
* Crystal winces a bit as Evelyn claws at herself. "Careful, your fingers look pretty sharp. You don't have to answer if something hurts too much, okay?"
	Venec: 	"More confused?"
Kaorin Sakura: 	Switching he rname.
Kaorin Sakura: 	So, backtracking a moment.
	Elaine Roche: 	"Elaaaaaaaaaine..."
	Valerie Latham: 	"Oh good, -phew-. Not related."
	Valerie Latham: 	"I was going to feel terrible if I couldn't recognize my sister."
	DNA-D: 	"She's a little spacey though, isn't she?"
* Crystal winces a bit as Elaine claws at herself. "Careful, your fingers look pretty sharp. You don't have to answer if something hurts too much, okay?"
	Venec: 	Venec felt as if he would have spoken up.
	Elaine Roche: 	"Doeeeeeesn't-hurrrrrrrt."
	Valerie Latham: 	"...Okay. That hurts me. Must you talk that way...?"
	Hackett: 	"Excuse me, flesh thing. I cannot regain forward movement without your own."
	Valerie Latham: 	"I have a name you know."
	DNA-D: 	"Hackett, it's 'excuse me, miss, but would you mind moving over a bit?'"
	Hackett: 	"As does every stone and does every thing have a history. It doesn't change my lack of---"
* Hackett paused a moment.
	DNA-D: 	"Go on, try it."
	Hackett: 	"Excuse me. Miss. But would you mind moving over a bit?"
	Valerie Latham: 	"Since you asked so kindly."
	Hackett: 	"I am impeded again."
* Hackett looks to Venec.
	DNA-D: 	"See? A much more peaceful resolution."
	Hackett: 	"Excuse me. Miss. But would you mind moving over a bit?"
	DNA-D: 	"If you wanted, I could benchpress you," DNA suggested with a hint of a smirk.
	Crystal: 	"That was predictable... Hackett, can you tell males from females? Alter the sentence appropriately if you can. Miss for females, Sir or Mister for males."
	DNA-D: 	"That way you'd be moving OVER everyone."
	Venec: 	Venec didn't realize he was being addressed.
	Hackett: 	"Excuse my lack of organic knowledge. But what is male, female, miss, sir or mister?"
* Elaine Roche crawls forward slowly.
	Venec: 	"Oh? Me? Sorry, didn't realize."
	Hackett: 	"Much obliged tailed beast."
	DNA-D: 	"Crystal...You deal with Elaine, okay? I can talk to Hackett."
	Venec: 	Venec hopped out of the way. "Small things unique to each species. Most know it instinctively. You prolly don't so I'm not about to take offense."
	Venec: 	"I'm a guy if you're curious."
	Crystal: 	"Miss is a polite way to refer to a female you don't know by name, or don't want to refer to by name, when talking to said female. Sir is a respectful way of doing the same with males. Mister is more neutral. Females and Males are the two primary sexes prevalent in most organic species." (can i just have her go into a ccomplete explanation on auto?)
	Hackett: 	"And does that mean...your outer shell is...softer than normal?"
	DNA-D: 	"I'm not sure why you'd ask a question like that, unless you were planning to eat Venec like a crawdad."
* Elaine Roche stands up and violently reaches out to Crystal! 1
	DNA-D: 	"You eat people by sucking out their insides? Strange."
Avara: 	only hits if non-damage.
However, due to the laws of LOLOMGWUT, Elaine misses so badly she falls onto her face. With the utmost force imagineable. Period. Like so!
	Venec: 	He patted his chest, "Women are usualy bigger here in mammals, which are humans and a lot of field types. Fashion is different, gals usually have longer hair or wear things like skirts. Exceptions to everything, even we have trouble sometimes. Especially outside our own speceis."
	Elaine Roche: 	17
* Crystal turns and sees Elaine on the ground near her. "... Are you going to be okay, Elaine?"
Elaine Roche falls flat onto her face with so much force that the cracking of gems can be heard as the ground, through some otherwordly strength, resists the impact of her compressed carbon rock gems and cracks them, knocking her solidly unconscious.
Avara: 	completely failed to notice she was being attacked.
	Venec: 	"..."
	Venec: 	"What'd you do?"
DNA: 	She wasn't being attacked. She fell so hard it knocked her out.
	Crystal: 	"... She fell while I was lecturing Hackett."
	Valerie Latham: 	"...The fuck just happened?!"
DNA: 	er, I worded it wrong.
	Venec: 	"Language."
	Venec: 	Venec scolded.
	Hackett: 	"Ready arms, squishy things! We are under some sort of assult!"
	Cepheus White: 	"...You never seem to say that when Grace says something raunchy."
* Hackett used Curse! +1 atk/def stage, -1 speed stage.
	Hackett: 	assault*
	Venec: 	"I should start." Venec frowned.
	Venec: 	Venec responds with Focus Energy!
	DNA-D: 	"!!"
Avara: 	perception?
* DNA-D shifts to Attack and uses Work Up
Kaorin Sakura: 	Go for it Avara.
	DNA-A: 	"Under attack by WHAT, exactly?"
* Crystal starts grooving in place a bit, pre-emptively starting one of her dances. As she does, she uses the spins to look around. (need to open up dancer, one moment. in the meantime, 16 perception)
DNA: 	21 Cepheus; 14 Deoxys
DNA: 	wow. 21 was actually a perfect roll.
You whisper to DNA: Deoxys can notice the golden eyes of a Rayquaza peering out of the hole southwest of everyone.
You whisper to Avara: You don't see anything.
You whisper to DNA: Cepheus doesn't see anything.
You whisper to DNA: Wait!
DNA-A whispers: Cepheus got the higher roll, didn't he?
You whisper to DNA: That's backwards. DNA doesn't see anything. Cepheus does see the Rayquaza.
	Cepheus White: 	"...Oh crap."
	Cepheus White: 	"I saw the eye of a Rayquaza from that hole we just passed."
	Venec: 	"Keh?"
	Hackett: 	"Where is the foe?!"
	DNA-A: 	"Dammit! Not again!!"
	DNA-A: 	"That Rayquaza in the aura field probably wasn't even dead!"
	Venec: 	"Don't say that! Now I wanna catch it!"
	Crystal: 	(in 5 turns from the start of her dance, every ally within 6m of crystal regains 1/8th of the damage they deal in contact moves or arms features. at that time, crystal will also gain 13 DR)
Kaorin Sakura: 	DNA-A is missing his initiative.
	Venec: 	Lucy was out on the field!
	DNA-A: 	I need to fix that figure for Cepheus too; one moment.
	DNA-A: 	Okay, ready.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Crystal calling out anyone?
	Venec: 	"Sounds like Rayquaza beating again Aneue!"
	Lucy: 	"...Does this mean I need to Transform again?"
	Venec: 	"No, unless you like being naked."
Avara: 	wasn't sure if i was allowed to. bringing out miranda.
Kaorin Sakura: 	It's a free action to call out. You're always allowed to.
	Venec: 	(One pokemon is always a free action at the start of combat)
Kaorin Sakura: 	Do you need me to grab the token?
Avara: 	just did
Kaorin Sakura: 	Just add initiative and we're good to go.
Avara: 	done
Miranda has received initiative.
Kaorin Sakura: 	New Encounter Starts: Initiative Sorted, Top of the Order, Round 1
Avara: 	can telepathy or aura detect any enemies invisible to the naked eye?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Aura requires line of sight.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Give me a Focus check for Telepathy.
Avara: 	20
You whisper to Avara: Only you can see it.
Avara: 	well. that's a thing.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Miranda shifting at all?
Avara whispers: Is it flying?
Avara: 	planning.
You whisper to Avara: It's in the hole. It's difficult to tell if it's flying or climbing. It's claws are, however, dug into the walls of the hole.
Avara whispers: So Sleeping it is uselesss basically? Is it green or black?
You whisper to Avara: It's black.
Avara whispers: You're the one who handles Miranda's dialogue, with Rawi and all. Is Miranda going to report it while i scheme?
	Miranda: 	"Yup. That's definitely a Rayquaza in that hole. Looks black methinks..."
	Venec: 	"I've already got the best one in the world, if anyone else wants it."
	Cepheus White: 	"...any relation to the black Rayquaza from 20 years prior...?"
	Miranda: 	"Tch, no. This one's way too small."
	Crystal: 	"Can you close in on it and trap it with Whirlpool? It might be alone, but it might not, so we should be as prepared as we can. If it's still in the tunnel it might not be able to hit us that well."
	Miranda: 	"I'll give it a whirl!"
DNA: 	(YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH)
Avara: 	5 squares between miranda and rayquaza. will elevation be an issue?
	Lucy: 	"I don't like that move."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Range is not an issue.
Avara: 	-1 vs sp.eva
Avara: 	... DFAFN
	Venec: 	"It's good. Just not fun to be on the wrong side of."
DNA-A has received initiative.
Miranda fires a pressurized line of water that goes into the hole without any contact.
	Miranda: 	"BLARGH! I missed."
	DNA-A: 	"Hmm...!!"
	Rayquaza: 	"...."
* DNA-A shifted forms, and moved forward a bit to join in the skirmish.
	DNA-A: 	(Shifting to Normal Form, Init of 26)
	DNA-A: 	"If it's not alone, I'd rather not take any chances."
* DNA-A used Stealth Rock. 5 rocks to place, if you don't mind.
* Crystal sighs. "I was hopping trapping it there would keep the tunnel clogged up until we figured out how to deal with it."
	DNA-N: 	And, pass.
* Valerie Latham casually walked behind everyone.
	Rayquaza: 	"..."
Venec has received initiative.
	Venec: 	Venec tapped his Stone Medal, gaining +1 def stage.
You whisper to DNA: * This echoes in DNA's head.
Rayquaza: "You there, please, no hostilities. Assist me upward. I will be grateful."
	Venec: 	Done
Cepheus White has received initiative.
DNA-N whispers: "How do I know this isn't a trick?"
	Venec: 	"Aneue, stay near Valerie and Hackett in case they come from the other way!"
You whisper to DNA: What of my kind has ever stooped to trickery?
	Crystal: 	"... It's not roaring or firing off hyper beams or anything. Might be more willing to talk than the ones flying above. I can't guarantee anything like that yet, though."
	DNA-N: 	"...I don't think it's hostile, guys. It just wants to get out."
DNA-N whispers: "As prideful as any other. I see."
	Crystal: 	"If I can get close, I'll try talking."
	Crystal: 	"Unless anyone's opposed to the idea."
	DNA-N: 	"Do try."
	Cepheus White: 	(pass)
Hackett has received initiative.
	Hackett: 	"I shall remain Sentry."
Lucy has received initiative.
	Lucy: 	"...A talking Rayquaza?"
	Lucy: 	"No, wait."
	Lucy: 	"A stuck Rayquaza?"
	Lucy: 	"Is it...crippled/"
	Lucy: 	?"*
	Crystal: 	"Subterranean environs aren't great for them, I imagine."
	Venec: 	"Oi! You alright down there?!" Venec shouted.
	Rayquaza: 	"As much as it pains me to admit...unable to fly."
	Venec: 	"If you don't chomp us we'll get you out!"
	Rayquaza: 	"I will offer no hostility if you all do the same."
Avara: 	crystal's dance is in effect, by the way. although it doesn't seem like it'll be getting any use.
	Venec: 	"Sounds good to me! We've got a dragon up here though, if you have any rivalry impulses or anything."
	Rayquaza: 	"Hardly."
	Venec: 	"Can you climb?! We could dig a hole by a wall!"
	Rayquaza: 	"I can climb."
	Venec: 	"How many human widths toward my voice is a wall?"
	Rayquaza: 	"Human...? None. I can climb out. Just do something about those troublesome pointy stones."
	Venec: 	"Ah. Sounds good." Venec turned around and shrugged.
	DNA-N: 	"I'll move them aside, then."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Should I keep up initiative?
	Venec: 	(Not unless it attacks again)
Kaorin Sakura: 	Go ahead and move about, folks.
	Rock 3: 	But...but...I wanted to hit him!
	DNA-N: 	No. Move over.
	Venec: 	Venec waited where he was. I'd be an awfully nasty trick for it to try chomping everyone but Venec wanted to be prepared if it was.
* Rayquaza slowly climbs out of the hole and settles down nearby.
	Miranda: 	"...First for everything, I suppose."
	Venec: 	Venec got a trail ration out of his bag, a meatier one, and tossed it over. "Ya must be hungry!"
	Lucy: 	"..."
* Rayquaza looked down at the small sized meal and rested its head on its arms, its tail flicking behind it.
	Venec: 	"It looks small but it fills up just about anyone, no matter how big."
	Rayquaza: 	"...I am full. I captured my prey."
	Rayquaza: 	"And paid the price it seems."
	Venec: 	"It wasn't human looking was it? Because we're looking for a few."
	Rayquaza: 	"No. It was large. Pink. It flew. And was delicious."
	Crystal: 	"I'm guessing that whatever the 'prey' was... you ran through the corrosive fields to catch it?"
	DNA-N: 	"Large and...pink?"
	Rayquaza: 	"Large for a Human. Not large for me."
	DNA-N: 	"...large...pink...flying."
	Crystal: 	"I can't really think of any pokemon like that. It might've been one of the abominations."
	Venec: 	"That's good. You look pretty nasty though, been through a lot? I figured the promise of no chomping came with my promise of no catching, but I know some human medicine might go a ways to help. If you don't mind me catching you I could release you once they see what they can do."
	Venec: 	Venec turned to the others, "Isn't that moon, shiny legendary one pink?"
	DNA-N: 	"Cresselia?"
	Crystal: 	"... Ah, I guess? I stopped paying attention to it when I learned its dance knocked itself out."
	DNA-N: 	"But that'd be perfect for you, Crystal, if you ever got insomnia."
	Crystal: 	"I'm not into self-harm."
Avara: 	brb
	DNA-N: 	"It was said in jest." (Not even so much as a smirk,) he thought to himself.
	Rayquaza: 	"I took a gamble here, as most of your kind felt more like myself than Humans. In my current state, I don't believe into the Human populace is in my best interest."
	Rayquaza: 	going into*
	Venec: 	"Ah yeah, there was an attack a bit ago. I dunno, I help who I can. If you want to follow us we're on our way out. By the way did any humans talk to you about splicing something? Or fight you and take DNA from you? Just curiou."
	Rayquaza: 	"Me? No."
	Venec: 	"It was some black rayquaza, no sure if there's that many. You seem human interested enough to know Japanese so it was a good bet. Anyway!" Venec skipped back over to Lucy, "Sorry I called you for nothin."
	Rayquaza: 	"You refer to The Master."
	Venec: 	"Hm? The big black one from Rayquaza wars?"
	Rayquaza: 	"Indeed."
	DNA-N: 	"...Not surprising that one is famous."
	Venec: 	"Ah, didn' know it was that'un."
	Rayquaza: 	"Not surprising. Humans don't usually ask questions when they get what they want."
	Rayquaza: 	"Like, where it came from? Who got it?"
	Rayquaza: 	"So long as Humans get what they want, they're content."
	Venec: 	" 's how most people work, pokemon or human. Pokemon love houses once humans build it for 'em. Never think to figure out how to do it themselves."
	Rayquaza: 	"This is true. Though I wonder if it's out of ignorance, stupidity or disorganization."
	DNA-N: 	"Apathy."
	Rayquaza: 	"I can name quite a few species that are organized enough to have safe shelters. Away from you Humans."
	Venec: 	"I think it's folks can only know so much. You're a smart species, your head's a lot bigger. Smaller heads like mine have to pick and chose what we learn, cause we run out a lot quicker and start to forget."
	Venec: 	"An' have to keep studying just to remember what we already learned."
	Miranda: 	"...I'm curious."
	Miranda: 	"Who got the Rayquaza genome?"
	Rayquaza: 	"Miranda, Miranda, Miranda."
	Rayquaza: 	"You should know better than anyone."
	Miranda: 	"..."
	Miranda: 	"I have a sick feeling it isn't Mewtwo."
* DNA-N laughed to himself a bit, quietly.
	DNA-N: 	"This is getting interesting."
	Rayquaza: 	"It's been parading among your cities. Your towns. Infiltrating your most precious of places and obtaining all that it wants. No different from before."
	Rayquaza: 	"Smart enough this time, however, to not attempt to persuade The Master into whatever it thinks it can do."
	Venec: 	"Ah, mews and such."
	Miranda: 	"...The Hero?"
* Rayquaza remained silent.
	Miranda: 	"That can't be right."
	Venec: 	"Hero? Did we ever find out who that was?"
	Cepheus White: 	"...Been a while since that name has been brought up."
	Miranda: 	"Mewtwo, Gary and Red killed that bastard."
	Cepheus White: 	"And no, we didn't. We're still trying to figure it out."
	Rayquaza: 	"Did they? Most believe it killed you. Yet, here you stand."
Avara: 	back
	DNA-N: 	"So is this hero alive or isn't it?"
* Crystal hugs Miranda tightly at the mention of Miranda's demise.
	Miranda: 	"The Hero, as some idiots call him, is the bringer of the Rayquaza War."
* Miranda wrapped her wing around Crystal.
	Rayquaza: 	"Odd that it's called that. Yet, we were only pawns in it."
	DNA-N: 	"We know that much. Supposedly he controlled the Black Rayquaza and wreaked havoc everywhere. Then he was ultimately killed."
	DNA-N: 	"...Supposedly."
	Venec: 	No one paying much attention to the hurt girl Venec walked over and used a revive.
	DNA-N: 	"Your words are sewing doubt. I'd like an explanation, from your side."
* Elaine Roche recovers a bit and awakens.
	DNA-N: 	*sowing
	DNA-N: 	frick i hate that word
* Elaine Roche looks around and rubs her face.
	Crystal: 	"It's a recognizable name. I imagine few people ever learned there was a force manipulating the Rayquaza."
	Venec: 	"You tripped and fell there. Want a massage? You look pretty sore."
	Rayquaza: 	"Well, I do owe you all a debt of gratitude. What would you like to know?"
* Elaine Roche sits cross-legged and stares at Venec.
	Venec: 	Venec sat cross-legged and stared back.
	DNA-N: 	"Who has this Rayquaza genome, who the Hero is or was, if this person is still alive, and what threat the current holder of Rayquaza genome has on the world right now."
	DNA-N: 	"And any other questions my friends have."
	Rayquaza: 	"As much as I know, it was taken to some structure in your large city."
	Miranda: 	"Saffron from the sounds of it."
	DNA-N: 	"It, as in the genome, or its holder?"
	Venec: 	If she didn't protest Venec gave Elaine a backrub.
	Rayquaza: 	"The genome and where we last tracked its location."
	DNA-N: 	"....Cepheus, get over here. You need to memorize everything you're about to hear."
* Elaine Roche doesn't move.
	Rayquaza: 	"The Hero was, from what I understand, a Human."
	Rayquaza: 	"Old. And was some sort of tinkerer."
	Rayquaza: 	"Loved building things, that Human."
	Rayquaza: 	"However, as it began to age and die, it slowly replaced itself. Piece by piece."
	DNA-N: 	"Why do you call this Hero an 'it'?"
	Rayquaza: 	"Because it is no longer Human."
	DNA-N: 	"....It's a machine, then, I assume."
	Rayquaza: 	"It is no longer something definable by a sex."
	DNA-N: 	"Does that mean it's still alive?"
	Rayquaza: 	"About as alive as most clanky creatures. Like a Magnet thing."
	Rayquaza: 	"One day though, it gave up."
	Crystal: 	"Gave up what, and how?"
	Rayquaza: 	"Life. It gave up on life."
	DNA-N: 	(A Magnet thing...) he thought. (I'd rather not have Jupiter compared to this creature.)
	Rayquaza: 	"Whatever life was like twenty five years ago, it didn't approve. And it demanded a restart."
	Rayquaza: 	"Somehow, it convinced The Master that this was the right course of action. And that life start over."
	Rayquaza: 	"The Master is ashamed of what it did. It hasn't moved from its perch since that day."
	Cepheus White: 	"Whose life was restarted - the Master's, or the Hero's?"
* Rayquaza paused for a moment.
	Rayquaza: 	"No one's. It wanted to restart the world."
	Rayquaza: 	"And to do that, it wanted to wipe the world clean."
	Crystal: 	"The sort of destruction that would require... you'd have to kill every living thing on the planet."
	Cepheus White: 	"And that's why the Rayquaza were used, as pawns as you put it, to wipe out the world and start it anew. Correct?"
	Rayquaza: 	"Yes."
* Cepheus White shifted uncomfortably.
	Cepheus White: 	"Carry on."
	Rayquaza: 	"The Hero is alive."
	Rayquaza: 	"Weakened when we last saw it."
	Cepheus White: 	"Damn."
	Rayquaza: 	"'A different approach' was all it mentioned."
	DNA-N: 	"...What does it look like now?"
	Rayquaza: 	"A large black and white doll."
	Venec: 	Venec listened, but was at the time working his hands over Elaine's shoulder and neck.
	DNA-N: 	"A doll?"
	DNA-N: 	"Like...a children's plaything? That kind of doll? Just bigger?"
	Rayquaza: 	"But, since it moves throughout your towns unnoticed, I imagine it can change appearance."
* Rayquaza points to Cepheus.
	Rayquaza: 	"Around his size."
* Rayquaza pondered.
	Cepheus White: 	"...I'm of above-average height..."
	Rayquaza: 	"A black doll with black clothes and a white, porcelain face."
	Cepheus White: 	"That should narrow it down a bit, right?"
	Miranda: 	"It's cannon."
	Miranda: 	"Does it still have that...that cannon?"
	Rayquaza: 	"The cannon that fired beams of death similar to our Hyper Beams?"
	Miranda: 	"The one it could shoot constantly? Yes, that thing."
	Crystal: 	"Average human adult, Pale, dressed in dark tones. Any particular form of dress?" She pulls out her fashion designer notebook and shows a few outfit concepts. "Anything like these?"
	DNA-N: 	"...If it can keep repairing itself, how do we kill it?"
* Rayquaza points out a dress shirt, dress slacks and a strands pointy hat, slumped backwards.
	Rayquaza: 	strange, not strands*
* Crystal bookmarks those. "Thank you."
	Crystal: 	"Now... the repeating deathray?"
	Rayquaza: 	"I saw no cannon."
	Miranda: 	"That cannon is what killed me."
	Venec: 	"Are you feeling alright Elaine, can you stand up?"
	Miranda: 	"And its arm changed into it. It didn't carry it."
	Crystal: 	"He's had over two decades... he might have refined it to a smaller size."
* Elaine Roche nods to Venec and stands slowly, but remains hunched over.
	Venec: 	Venec stands there to help her keep balance.
	Rayquaza: 	"It's not unkillable. Turn it to dust. Smashing it to pieces solves nothing."
	DNA-N: 	"Turn it to dust. Vaporize it in some way."
	DNA-N: 	"..."
	Rayquaza: 	"Now. Here's the interesting part of the whole thing."
	DNA-N: 	"If the Rayquaza know so much, why haven't they tried it?"
	DNA-N: 	"Know beyond shadow of doubt who he is, then nuke the f*cker. Spare the lives of millions."
	Rayquaza: 	"The Master doesn't allow us to."
	DNA-N: 	"Why?"
	Rayquaza: 	"I don't know."
	Rayquaza: 	"But...you do not disobey The Master."
	Venec: 	"Where is The Master?"
	DNA-N: 	"Grrggrgh..."
	Crystal: 	"... Is there any way to checek if The Master's mind has been tampered with?"
	Rayquaza: 	"I have suspected such a thing."
	Rayquaza: 	"But I value my life too much to check."
	Venec: 	"Gonna knock some sense into him."
	Crystal: 	"Maybe you should find a Doctor to check for you?"
* DNA-N shook his head back and forth, to try and calm his growing frustration.
	Rayquaza: 	"The only non-Rayquaza creature allowed upon The Master's perch is The Hero."
	Venec: 	"Well I'll hit him until he changes his mind. Then we can talk like civilized people."
	Rayquaza: 	"Anything else dies. Sometimes, other Rayquaza."
	Crystal: 	"Can The Master read auras or minds?"
	Rayquaza: 	"The Master can, yes."
	Cepheus White: 	"Lucy may have to be our representative, then. Whatever works."
	Crystal: 	"I guess Transform won't work, then..."
	Rayquaza: 	"Palkia and Dialga didn't even dare to stand up to The Master."
	Rayquaza: 	"Whether or not they could or just didn't care to, it another question entirely."
	Rayquaza: 	is*
	Cepheus White: 	"...The gods of time and space themselves didn't try to stand up to an overgrown Rayquaza?"
	Venec: 	"Yes, the oversized ponies didn't stand up to the lord of all dragons."
	Cepheus White: 	"They aren't ponies."
	Venec: 	Venec shrugged, "It's all in what myths you buy."
	Rayquaza: 	"We refer to The Master as such, not because it's simply strong. But because it possesses powers we do not. We cannot hope to take it down. Mind you, many of us has tried. We learned not to."
	Crystal: 	"Didn't that notebook from those... following the Hero suggest that they wanted something to do with the space-time duo? Those two might be avoiding the Master for fear of being caught up in their scheme."
	Rayquaza: 	"And we no longer hear their cries."
	Cepheus White: 	"We're not trying to take the Master down. We're trying to negotiate with it."
	Rayquaza: 	"The have been very quiet for almost two weeks..."
	Rayquaza: 	they*
	Rayquaza: 	"However, the Ghost one, Giratina, still cries in Lavender."
	Venec: 	"We might have to do one to do the other."
	Crystal: 	"It sounds like The Master's been tampered with and has become unstable. I don't know if we -could- negotiate with the master of the rayquaza.."
	Cepheus White: 	"I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm a bit more willing to trust Dialga or Palkia than a Rayquaza."
	Miranda: 	"We get Mewtwo."
	Miranda: 	"We Mindslave The Master."
	Miranda: 	"We win."
	Lucy: 	"...I don't like that move."
	Crystal: 	"We have to get close enough."
	DNA-N: 	"...Can something that insane even work?"
	Miranda: 	"Ray? When is Arceus' scheduled appearance?"
	Rayquaza: 	"..."
	Venec: 	"I don't like it either, and you shouldn't be tapping into the memories of something that old, it's dangerous."
	Miranda: 	"I know you know."
	Cepheus White: 	"I believ eit's July 16th."
	Venec: 	"We know when, just not where. It's in the book."
	Rayquaza: 	"Normally, yes."
	Cepheus White: 	"That may or may not be current."
	Rayquaza: 	"Arcues has a tendency to appear when Palkia or Dialga or Giratina get into conflict with one another."
	Rayquaza: 	"Or any go missing."
	Miranda: 	"...And they are missing, aren't they?"
	Rayquaza: 	"Not confirmed. But we cannot hear them any longer."
	Cepheus White: 	"... ..."
	Miranda: 	"Where is The Master? Where is The Hero? We need this."
	Rayquaza: 	"...Don't you already know?"
	Rayquaza: 	"You possess its key."
	Miranda: 	"It's...what?"
	Cepheus White: 	"...You mean this?"
	Crystal: 	"The book."
* Cepheus White holds out a crystalline key.
	Rayquaza: 	"...Yes. That."
	Crystal: 	"Or that."
	Cepheus White: 	"...All I know so far is the door it opens is east of here."
* Elaine Roche fell asleep under Venec's touch.
	Crystal: 	"We found that here. After fighting creatures neither human nor pokemon in nature."
	Venec: 	"... that's a neat trick. I should work on it."
	Rayquaza: 	"Of which The Hero is neither Human or Pokémon."
	Crystal: 	"Our foes were crystalline in nature."
	Rayquaza: 	"Crystalline? That's a new trick for it."
	Miranda: 	"I thought they were slaves of Fate or something."
	Venec: 	"And strange, oozy, glitchy, nuclear powered psuedo living things."
	Cepheus White: 	"A new trick for...what?"
	Crystal: 	"Maybe the so-called hero is Fate."
* Rayquaza suddenly chuckles.
	Rayquaza: 	"...I'm beginning to understand."
	Rayquaza: 	"That's why The Hero didn't come to The Master this time."
	Rayquaza: 	"It went to Fate instead."
	Miranda: 	"...Is Fate more powerful than The Master?"
	DNA-N: 	"Somehow this doesn't surprise me."
	Crystal: 	"... Miranda, does the thing we fought back in Pewter remind you of anything that the 'hero' used?"
	Crystal: 	(the Husk)
	Miranda: 	"No. I don't know what that thing was."
	Rayquaza: 	"I can gauge The Master's power. I have seen what it can do. And you have as well."
	Crystal: 	"You're a bit more scientifically-minded than me. Could you describe it?"
	Venec: 	Venec tries to lift Elaine and slump her over his shoulder. (Max overhead 190lb)
	Rayquaza: 	"Nothing has ever spoken of the capability of Fate. Other than the results of this hellish place. And this is only for it being around. Nothing direct."
	Crystal: 	"If the corrosion here is any sign of Fate's power... we're going to be depending on Danny, I fear."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Venec is able to lift and carry Elaine.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Elaine is movable by all players.
	Rayquaza: 	"It's what forces me to climb rather than fly.
	Rayquaza: 	"And why I'm black instead of my precious green."
	DNA-N: 	"...The aura fields..."
	Crystal: 	"Coloration's easier to fix... if we can find a berry specialist. Maybe in Pallet. There are berries that change a pokemon's color when eaten."
	DNA-N: 	"...One of our number is immune to their effects. Completely."
	Crystal: 	"If there's a green one, it might restore your proper color."
	DNA-N: 	"I have no idea how."
	Rayquaza: 	"Your companion is quite lucky then."
	Rayquaza: 	"And while that may be tempting, your towns seem a bit pre-occupied."
	Crystal: 	"Consider it an offer for the future, if we both live long enough."
	Rayquaza: 	"I will consider it, indeed."
	Rayquaza: 	"Now, I have a question for you all."
	DNA-N: 	"..."
	Rayquaza: 	"How close to the surface am I? I want out of this place."
	DNA-N: 	"This is the topmost floor. So, probably not far."
	Venec: 	"I think we're almost out, if you follow us."
	Crystal: 	"From what our guide, Hackett, said, we're close to the exit. We've to find the Regigigas that reign here and negotiate the freedom of some once-humans who were altered, as you were. Then we'll be close to a town that... either is in the midst of a dire emergency, or has been wiped off the face of the planet."
	Rayquaza: 	"I will follow you. Until we reach the surface."
	Crystal: 	"Will you be able to avoid the corrosive auras?"
	Rayquaza: 	"I have felt their effects. I will do anything it takes to avoid those things."
* Crystal nods, then turns to Hackett. "Lead on. Venec, you should be the one to decide if Elaine's fit to come with us. She seems comfortable with you."
	DNA-N: 	"...Let's go, then. Mr. White?"
	Rock: 	Dangit DNA, you used to be cool. I thought you loved hazards.
	Venec: 	"She's not fit to leave behind I don't think. She could barely stand without knocking herself out.
	DNA-N: 	Not against non-hostiles.
	Crystal: 	"Venec, does your Sylph Scope see anyting?"
	Venec: 	Venec puts his goggles down.
You whisper to Venec_Myles: ^-^
	Venec: 	"the goggles, they see nothing!"
	Lucy: 	"...You smell of contamination..."
	Rayquaza: 	"...I apologize. There is not much I can do about that."
	Venec: 	"I only smell lotion. It's usually all I can smell."
	DNA-N: 	"...I had a thought. What if the Hero is using Fate is using the Sky Ships?"
	DNA-N: 	"Crazy, although feasible..."
	Crystal: 	"Then that would be convenient--all our enemies would be one big happy target group."
	DNA-N: 	"....hold on a moment..."
	DNA-N: 	"Hackett."
	Rayquaza: 	"The Sky Ships were silent during the previous reign. That would be very disturbing news."
	DNA-N: 	"I think I saw someone on the other pathway."
	Hackett: 	"Yes?"
	Crystal: 	"The Sky Ships have sent artificially-created lifeforms to assassinate us. A few times."
	DNA-N: 	"Possibly a friend of Valerie's. Wait here. I'll go check."
* DNA-N zipped off.
	Norma Rogers: 	"...Uh, hi?"
	Crystal: 	"Latham, you should go with him, right?"
	Valerie Latham: 	"Oh! Okay."
	DNA-N: 	"...Hello. ...I'm looking for someone at the moment."
	Norma Rogers: 	"I'm pretty sure it's not me..."
	Valerie Latham: 	"...Norma?!"
	DNA-N: 	"On behalf of someone named Valerie."
	Norma Rogers: 	"Hah, if it ain't Vale---oh crap. You got it to?!"
	Valerie Latham: 	"What're you doing here?!"
	Norma Rogers: 	"...Dying, I guess? Since when was Mt.Moon so...weird?"
	DNA-N: 	"...I see you two know each other...That's good."
	Valerie Latham: 	"She's a friend, yes."
	Valerie Latham: 	"C'mon, Norma. We're leaving here."
	Norma Rogers: 	"But...Ingrid is..."
	DNA-N: 	"Not one of your sisters, though, I'm assuming..."
	Valerie Latham: 	"She's not."
	Valerie Latham: 	"Ingrid is here...?"
	Norma Rogers: 	"Yeah. Changed. She changed a lot."
	DNA-N: 	"...Looks like we have one more to look for. That brings the total to...3?"
	DNA-N: 	"Ingrid, and...Valerie, how many sisters did you say you had? 2?"
	Valerie Latham: 	"Yes. Uh."
	Valerie Latham: 	"One was Milotic looking last I saw her."
	DNA-N: 	"Milotic....Okay, that's a lead."
	DNA-N: 	"Let's go rejoin the others."
	DNA-N: 	"Hey. Guys. Small detour. This is Norma, one of Valerie's friends. She's missing someone in here too."
	Venec: 	Venec stood with the third hybrid, carried piggy back at this point.
	Venec: 	"Nice ta meetcha!"
	DNA-N: 	"Keep your eyes extra peeled."
	Norma Rogers: 	"Big...group. Uh, hi!"
	DNA-N: 	"Introductions we can do as we walk. For now let's find your friends."
	Venec: 	"Bigger by the hour. We'll have a picnic once we're out. Or go save the world, not sure. Lotsa stuff happening today."
	Cepheus White: 	"Hopefully the picnic is AFTER we save the world."
	Venec: 	"But I'm hungry nowwww." Venec whined jokingly.
	Cepheus White: 	"Then munch on a banana and walk." Cepheus quipped in response.
	DNA-N: 	"Hackett! Wait up a moment! We still have to catch up!"
Avara: 	where did hackett go
	DNA-N: 	Over by where I am standing. Southwest of you.
	Venec: 	he's over here
Avara: 	found him
	DNA-N: 	"..."
	DNA-N: 	"There might be someone to the west."
	DNA-N: 	"Wait here. I'll go check. I'll need to hug the wall."
	Venec: 	Venec set Elaine down, "Gonna check over here!"
	DNA-N: 	"If I need to, I'll signal you."
	Crystal: 	"Going to check."
	Venec: 	"It looks like a straight path down here."
	Venec: 	"Hi there!" Venec waved!
	DNA-N: 	"...Bingo."
	DNA-N: 	"Excuse me, miss."
	Crystal: 	"DNA, go get Valerie."
* Emma Sullivan stands frozen as she stares at all of you SUDDENLY approaching her.
	DNA-N: 	"Do you know Valerie?"
	Crystal: 	"Hello," she says, curtseying to the girl ahead.
	Emma Sullivan: 	"...How do you know my sis'?"
	DNA-N: 	"We're trying to find her sisters. She mentioned one was a Milotic and I figure you may be it."
	DNA-N: 	"Understood. I'll go get her."
	Venec: 	Venec wondered where everyone else came from. He shrugged and left.
	DNA-N: 	"Valerie? We found a Milotic girl. She's a bit scared right now. Can you follow me?"
	DNA-N: 	"She's down this corridor. Hug the wall.
	Valerie Latham: 	"Okay!"
	Valerie Latham: 	"Emma!"
	DNA-N: 	"...Next time, I should probably call for you sooner. Or have you follow me."
	Emma Sullivan: 	"Oh, thank goodness you're okay, Val!"
	Venec: 	"Scouting done!" Venec said before he hoised Elaine up.
	Valerie Latham: 	"These people are helping us get out of here."
	Valerie Latham: 	"C'mon, they're good folk."
	DNA-N: 	"One more down. Two to go."
	Valerie Latham: 	"This is all I have left. My other sister is a skeleton on the floor below..."
	Venec: 	Venec recalls Lucy, mumbling something about DM multitasking and lag.
	DNA-N: 	"......"
	Norma Rogers: 	"I came here with Ingrid and Chelsea though."
	Norma Rogers: 	"They're both somewhere by the exit."
	Cepheus White: 	"...Another we need to rescue, it seems. DNA, you got that?"
	Venec: 	"Do eany of you know Elaine here?"
	DNA-N: 	"Chelsea's with Ingrid too; understood."
	Norma Rogers: 	"Chelsea may need a different kind of 'rescue' though."
* Elaine Roche remains asleep.
	Cepheus White: 	"...What kind of 'rescue'?"
	Valerie Latham: 	"No, she's...no."
	Norma Rogers: 	"I sure don't."
	Hackett: 	"We're almost there."
	Cepheus White: 	"The sooner, the better. Phew."
	Cepheus White: 	"I'm surprised we haven't run into the Gigas yet."
	Hackett: 	"We did."
	Cepheus White: 	(man he's way ahead of us)
	Venec: 	"Sorry to take so long." Venec said to the Rayquaza.
	Rayquaza: 	"I am in no rush to jump at what's ahead."
	Cepheus White: 	"...what?"
	Cepheus White: 	"I didn't see any..."
	Venec: 	"Awright! Nother path, I'm gonna jump this one right quick."
	DNA-N: 	"Those crystal monsters were not the Gigas, were they?"
	Hackett: 	"They were not."
	DNA-N: 	"...Never mind."
	Venec: 	Venec tries to jump over whatever part of the radius is close to the wall, keeping himself as flat against it as he can! Vertical jump 5
	Venec: 	Acrobatics 28
	Crystal: 	"They're immediately ahead of us."
	Chelsea Romero: 	"H-Holy---!"
	DNA-N: 	"I...um."
	DNA-N: 	"I see we found them."
	Venec: 	(Touch anything?) Venec landed and waved to the dizzy one.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Nope.
	Crystal: 	"Wait for Venec."
	Venec: 	"...hello?" Venec asked.
	Chelsea Romero: 	"Aiiiuuh...h-hi...?"
	Chelsea Romero: 	"D-didja catch it too?"
	Venec: 	"Dunno, I might have. But I'm here with your friends!"
	Chelsea Romero: 	"I-Ingrid's not my friend anymore, oka-ay!"
	Venec: 	"Why is that?"
	Chelsea Romero: 	"W-We all caught it. She go-ot caught up in w-what it did to her."
	Chelsea Romero: 	"S-She's just up ahead w-with the R-Reg-gi-i-gi-things."
	Venec: 	"I'm not with that one yet. I'm with the other girls who say they know you. And I'm your friend too so we should get out of here."
	Chelsea Romero: 	"Y-You're with Norma...?"
	Venec: 	"Mmhm. And Valarie and Emma and Elaine but no one seems to know poor Elaine."
	Chelsea Romero: 	"I don't...ei-ither."
	Chelsea Romero: 	"C-Couldja take me to Norma?"
	Venec: 	"Well lets get sneakin'!" Venec sneaks past the aura! Stealth! 21
	Chelsea Romero: 	17
Kaorin Sakura: 	You guys hugged the wall there. Common sense thing.
	Venec: 	Venec Piggybacks Elaine again, "Lets get going!"
	DNA-N: 	yayaya
	DNA-N: 	"Hackett."
	DNA-N: 	"If you would not mind introducing us."
	Hackett: 	"Masters...I have guided a troupe to you all."
* Hackett kneels before the shiny Regigigas.
	Regigigas 7: 	"..."
	DNA-N: 	"......"
	Venec: 	Venec sets Elaine to a wall before walking back.
	Hackett: 	"Masters...?"
	Regigigas 1: 	"This one lacks the voice now."
* Regigigas 7 shamefully steps backwards.
	Hackett: 	"What defeated the Grand Master?"
	Ingrid Azure: 	"More like WHO."
	Crystal: 	"... Was it Ingrid?"
* Ingrid Azure places her hands on her hips.
	Hackett: 	"...Impossible."
	Venec: 	"Oh hey!"
	Venec: 	Venec waved.
	Crystal: 	"Venec... This is not going to be a good thing."
	Ingrid Azure: 	"I am the Grand Master now. The Grand Master Regigigas. Recognize me, stone."
	Hackett: 	"Not...possible."
	Ingrid Azure: 	"You would dare defy your Grand Master?"
	Crystal: 	"Hackett, get back!"
Kaorin Sakura: 	The rest of the Regigigas do nothing but speculate.
	Hackett: 	"..."
* Hackett placed its arm on its cracked body.
* Hackett steps back to the others.
	Venec: 	"Dunno, if she's happy with her new life power to her." Venec shrugged.
	DNA-N: 	"......"
	Crystal: 	"She sounds... unstable."
	Ingrid Azure: 	"...You stand when you should kneel. And side with outsiders before your Masters. Where is your loyalty, stone?"
	Hackett: 	"..."
	DNA-N: 	"Norma...I fear your friend is not altogether 'with us'. Do you have any suggestions."
	Venec: 	"Probably confused. This is kind of a big thing to walk back to after a short time away."
	Norma Rogers: 	"I...I mentioned she'd need another kind of 'help'."
	DNA-N: 	"Ah, yes. Yes you did."
	Chelsea Romero: 	"She beat up the blue one...and took control of them all."
	Crystal: 	"Hacket... do what you think is best. But I don't think Ingrid is... going to be a safe 'Master' for you, your fellows, or the regigigas group."
* Ingrid Azure confidently walks over to you all.
	Ingrid Azure: 	"Stone. Kneel. And I may at least give you pity."
	Rayquaza: 	"Alright, had enough of this girl."
	Rayquaza: 	"Move aside. I'm gonna put her in her place."
	DNA-N: 	"...heh."
	Venec: 	Venec turned to Ingrid, "Hey, wanna spar, just you and me?"
* DNA-N took Cepheus and pulled him aside.
	Ingrid Azure: 	"...Stone! You sided with THAT?! They're a BLIGHT on our world!"
	DNA-N: 	"Mr. White. Stay here, for now."
	Venec: 	"I've fought a few Regigigas. They were okay I suppose."
	Hackett: 	"..."
	Hackett: 	"No, allow me."
* Crystal looks to Ingrid Azure. Then back to the Rayquaza. The to the other Regis. "We hoped we could come and speak like -civilized- pokemon and humans. However... I'm asking you, do not interfere with whatever Ingrid and our group do. If she is Grand Master, let her prove herself a capable negotiator, or a capable tyrant."
Avara: 	charm vs regigigas group?
Kaorin Sakura: 	The Regigigas remain silent and simply watch.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Nah, no need. They were just watching to begin with.
Avara: 	... why do i do things
	Venec: 	Venec was ignored as well, so he decided to ignore her back.
Hackett: (( Hackett responded to you. ))
	DNA-N: 	What was some sort of a fiendish smile crept across the Deoxys' face.
	Crystal: 	"Hackett, if you're going to... you should at least have your wounds tended to first, right?"
	Venec: 	"You all doing okay? I got some food if you'be been stuck here for a while."
	Venec: 	((Venec was ignored by Ingrid, who he was talking to. I didn't mean ignored by GM))
	Hackett: 	"You are no Regigigas. You are no Grand Master. I will not follow you. I'd rather become rubble!!" 5
As Hackett attempts to thrust itself at Ingrid with all its might the Regigigas woman halts its advance with a single arm.
	Ingrid Azure: 	"Attacking me. When you're just a stone."
* Ingrid Azure lifts her other arm up to strike.
	DNA-N: 	"Hackett! No!!"
Avara: 	... can i intervene without an inter?
Kaorin Sakura: 	You can try to take the hit since you're closest, but if anyone has an Interrupt or Intercept that is applicable here, they can use that too.
Avara: 	2
Avara: 	...
Avara: 	...
Avara: 	Dammit RNG!
So, a thought crossed your mind? Must have been a long and lonely journey.
Kaorin Sakura: 	RNG is trolling hard today.
Avara: 	Dammit RNG!
You're as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle.
Avara: 	Dammit RNG!
Come again when you can't stay quite so long.
	Venec: 	Venec thought about it, but he wasn't quite sure what she did wrong other than participate in a fight someone brought to her.
	DNA-N: 	Dammit, Teleport. Why are you not applicable.
Avara: 	attempting vaccuum wave
Kaorin Sakura: 	Go ahead.
Avara: 	in range.
Avara: 	i think i have a IBIY left. one or two.
Avara: 	-1
Kaorin Sakura: 	Oh man.
	DNA-N: 	I take the blame for this.
Avara: 	... nevermind. *ava goes to the corner*
Kaorin Sakura: 	And Danny isn't here with his rerolls.
Kaorin Sakura: 	The GM should be SOMEWHAT MEAN!
Kaorin Sakura: 	Geez, man.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Hmm...
	Rayquaza: 	Accuracy Check 0
'' ''
	Venec: 	She's got enough "RNG hate" points. Just give her the reroll. Everyone knows she deserves it.
	DNA-N: 	I want to try and run up to Hackett and Teleport him out of there.
	DNA-N: 	But I don't think that's really legal.
* Rayquaza speeds up to the Regigigas girl only to be swatted to the side.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Give me a D20 roll.
	DNA-N: 	Me?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Yes.
	DNA-N: 	4
	DNA-N: 	Fuck.
Avara: 	... chosen one.
Avara: 	normally feat-only
Avara: 	can i use it here
	DNA-N: 	...you don't HAVE to, you know
Kaorin Sakura: 	Go ahead.
	DNA-N: 	So, would I grab Hackett and either push or warp him out of the way?
Avara: 	chosen one used.
Avara: 	hacket should probably be stepped back.
	Ingrid Azure: 	Accuracy Check 15
'' ''
	Ingrid Azure: 	116 Physical Fighting Damage!
	Crystal: 	Crystal loses 106 hit points.
Avara: 	roll an injury for her
Kaorin Sakura: 	6
Kaorin Sakura: 	-1 Acc, totally a black eye there.
	DNA-N: 	...
	DNA-N: 	Not...even...gonna comment.
Avara: 	Spore cannot miss. Ingrid gets a black eye of her own as the ring activates.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Yup, that totally puts her to sleep.
Kaorin Sakura: 	So, what're folks gonna do from this point forward?
Avara: 	following with an ingrid-only teeter dance.
Avara: 	-1
	Venec: 	"So what'd she do wrong again?"
Avara: 	... RNG GO FUCK A CAMEL
Kaorin Sakura: 	omg that thing hates the world right now.
Avara: 	fucking... GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
	DNA-N: 	"You think it might be possible to stare into her mind and try and sort out this mess?"
	Venec: 	"I know I'm a little slow at times. But really, she's a Regigigas. Apparently a really tough one." Vehec scratched the back of his head.
	Crystal: 	"As a leader, she would've tormented everyone she forced to follow her."
You whisper to DNA: Go ahead and try it.
	Crystal: 	"... Put it this way. According to your own code, she betrayed her honor."
You whisper to DNA: Give me a Focus check.
You whisper to DNA: 3d6+INT
DNA-N whispers: For Deoxys, that's 3d6 plus what capability? (Also, he has Telepathy and Dream Smoke, if that makes any difference.)
	Crystal: 	(can i sprout some vines to bind her with? using sprouter and/or threaded?)
You whisper to DNA: Oh, it does then. 6d6+INT
DNA-N whispers: oh, int. but do telepathy/dream smoke help?
DNA-N whispers: Sweet.
	Venec: 	"... yeah I'm just missing something then." Venec shrugged.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Threaded can bind her. And you need existing plants to use Sprouter.
	DNA-N: 	25
	DNA-N: 	An average roll.
	Crystal: 	crystal's vines from threaded are existing plants.
	Ingrid Azure: 	12
* Crystal attempts to wrap up Ingrid from neck to ankle in vine-rope.
Avara: 	please don't make me roll for that.
You whisper to DNA: You succeed in invading her mind with your Telepathy. She's obviously in poor mental condition from her sudden transformation and the hostility of the Regigigas. You may try to mend her broken mind with another Focus check.
Kaorin Sakura: 	It, kind of IS a roll. But first.
Kaorin Sakura: 	3
Kaorin Sakura: 	Okay, she's still asleep
DNA-N whispers: Dream Smoke doesn't help?
You whisper to DNA: It gave you a bonus while she's asleep.
Avara: 	ok. what is the roll
	DNA-S: 	22
Kaorin Sakura: 	Let's go with a 1d0-2
Avara: 	*whine*
Avara: 	11
Avara: 	....phew.
	DNA-S: 	whoo \o/
Kaorin Sakura: 	10
Ingrid is slowly bound by Crystal as DNA stares intently at Ingrid. Ingrid slowly begins writhing and groaning slowly.
Kaorin Sakura: 	1
Kaorin Sakura: 	Well then.
* DNA-S 's eyes were focused on Ingrid, his stare seeing at and into her.
You whisper to DNA: One more successful check outta do it.
DNA-S whispers: Would I keep making Focus checks?
	Venec: 	"Who else was here?" Venec asked the others, "And what species?"
	DNA-S: 	26
* Crystal rolls Ingrid away from the Rayquazas.
	DNA-S: 	"Almost......there......"
Kaorin Sakura: 	10
Kaorin Sakura: 	Who's Venec talking to?
	Crystal: 	please move ingrid over to the other pokefolk
	Venec: 	the girls in general.
* Crystal gestures to Ingrid, then looks at Valerie. "Yours?"
Ingrid whines and groans as DNA stares at her more and suddenly becomes calm.
* DNA-S let out a sigh.
	DNA-S: 	"...Hopefully that should do it."
	Valerie Latham: 	"Mine? Oh no. We aren't dating."
	Crystal: 	"Is she one of your group?"
	Norma Rogers: 	"Uh, yeah. And I that's everyone I can think of."
	Crystal: 	"That punch hurt... but a full Regigigas probably would've knocked me out."
* Rayquaza looks at the others and crackles his claws.
	Venec: 	"Eh... full, not full, regi or otherwise. Power is a very personal thing."
	Rayquaza: 	"So, tell me, gigas'. Are you going to stop them? Or are you content in being free of her?
	Hackett: 	"..."
	DNA-S: 	"Hackett...Are you all right?"
	Crystal: 	"Will you four be able to carry her? I'm not untying her."
	Hackett: 	"I am fine. If not disappointed. Very disappointed."
	DNA-S: 	"Disappointed in...who? or what?"
	Venec: 	"I can probably carry her."
	Hackett: 	"Myself and the Grand Master."
	Regigigas 7: 	"..."
	Crystal: 	"You're already carrying Elaine."
	DNA-S: 	"......"
	Venec: 	"I'll go for both, maybe I can."
	Venec: 	Venec was trying not to lose his temper.
	DNA-S: 	"I can, Venec, if it is not any trouble for you."
	Rayquaza: 	"Thank you all. I bid you all farewell."
	Venec: 	Mankey did not make it easy.
* Crystal leans against Miranda, still trying to ignore the building pain of her bruised eye and face.
* Miranda attempted to soothe Crystal.
	Hackett: 	"Would it be any trouble if I came with one of you?"
	Hackett: 	'I believe a bit of a journey would do me good."
	Cepheus White: 	"I don't think it should be, no."
	Venec: 	"There's a lot of work, both ways. A pokemon never considered a real trainer, and now a human not considered a real regi." Venec punched the wall once before lifting Elaine, "Go ahead DNA, you can carry Ingrid."
	DNA-S: 	"All right." (How much does Ingrid weigh?)
	Crystal: 	"Cepheus has been gathering a group of Regi-family pokemon. You might remember helping him with that a little before?"
Kaorin Sakura: 	195
	Crystal: 	"He... ow ow ow... he'd probably be best suited to travel with for you."
	DNA-S: 	Oh good. Speed Form can lift up to 200, so that'll work.
	Hackett: 	"...This is true. May I accompany you..."
* Hackett looks at Cepheus' chest.
* DNA-S gently lifted the still-bound Ingrid onto his back. "easy now."
	Hackett: 	"Mr.Cepheus."
	Cepheus White: 	"Of course. I would be honored to have you."
	Cepheus White: 	"In fact, with you, i'll have a 'full set', so to speak."
* Crystal turns to whisper something to Miranda.
	Hackett: 	"Thank you, Mr.Cepheus."
Hackett: (( Hackett will accept capture by this point. ))
* Cepheus White offered to Regirock a Poke Ball.
	Miranda: 	"Anyone else ready to head out?"
Crystal whispers: Would you be upset if I tried to get Valerie to come with us? She's kind of cute. Nothing on you, but she might be fun for both of us if we keep her around. Emphasis... -both- of us. I'm not really sure how that would work, though.
	Venec: 	"Hey, do you girls want to take this one with you? She's a little off but she's going to be among strangers no matter who she is with. It might be best if she stays with you, else she'll end up hurting someone or getting eaten in the wild."
	DNA-S: 	dammit venec i was going to type that
* Hackett kneels to Cepheus and taps the Pokéball, accepting capture.
	Crystal: 	"I'd like to have a quick talk with the Gigas group before we leave. You guys can go ahead of me if you want--if you don't go too far, I can probably catch up."
	DNA-S: 	"I don't think we're in any rush, Crystal. We can wait."
Avara: 	waiting for something else before i start on the gigases
* Miranda gives Crystal a thumbs up.
	Norma Rogers: 	"I was kinda...wonderin' 'bout what that Regirock just said."
	Norma Rogers: 	"Finding a Trainer...hmm...don't sound like a bad idea."
	DNA-S: 	"You are not trainers yourselves?"
* Crystal hugs Miranda tightly. "Can I talk with Valerie about that once I'm done talking to the Gigas group? Please?"
	Norma Rogers: 	"Kinda hard to be when you don't have Pokemon anymore."
	Miranda: 	"Sure."
	DNA-S: 	"...Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be presumptuous."
	Crystal: 	(asking the group as well)
	Venec: 	"My offer is still out to Valerie. Fire types are pretty cool!"
	Valerie Latham: 	"Oh, to be captured?"
* Crystal steps forward to the Regi group, curtseying and bowing her head, then standing up straight and clearing her throat. ((Cool contest, cool contest)) she thinks to herself a few times.
	Valerie Latham: 	"I'd like to remain with my sister. Wherever she is."
	Venec: 	Venec shrugged, "captured, trained, I suppose. We joked about it, it's still a fun idea." Venec laughed.
	Emma Sullivan: 	"Agreed."
	Crystal: 	(rob, i promise i won't roll charm. so can we both make attempts to get her to join us instead of first come first serve?)
	Cepheus White: 	"DNA? Is something the matter? You keep staring at the ground."
	DNA-S: 	"Not per se, no. Mostly concerned."
	DNA-S: 	"And curious. Curious as to exactly what drove Ingrid mad with power. And how she even got that power to begin with."
	Crystal: 	"Regigigas, I hope this incident taught you the issues of a group that's run by a single person. Especially if the person is chosen by a matter of who's strongest. If it's not too presumptuous, might I suggest ruling by committee instead? A small council of a few of the strongest and wisest in your group, possibly including at least one representative of your subordinates. That sort of approach would avoid repeat incidents, and allow the leadership to stand united against someone trying to steal control."
	DNA-S: 	"...Mostly the latter question, since the former is much easier to answer."
	Venec: 	"Ah, whatever you all want," Venec laughed, "I'm just all about having fun and going on adventures. Always feels a bit odd to be put on the spot, either way. You've got Charisma Val, and Milotic does as well. We all kind of tumbled together real quick so I dunno what you're all like, I just know the kinds of pokemon I'm good at working with."
	Regigigas: 	"Will be taken into consideration."
	Venec: 	"Put on the spot on either side, as a pokemon a trainer asks to join, or a trainer who has a pokemon insist they join you I Mean."
	Crystal: 	"Are you saying that sincerely, or are you simply trying to appease a mouthy outsider?"
	Regigigas: 	"Former."
	Valerie Latham: 	"I don't mind anyone here. You're all kind folk to me."
* Crystal curtseys again, before stepping back. "Once the current conversation is done, we request permission to pass through your chamber and out of the mountain. That is all."
	Valerie Latham: 	"As I am now, I need to get used to this new...me."
* Crystal turns to look at Valerie, and puts on as big of a smile as she can.
	Venec: 	"You and me both."
	Valerie Latham: 	"And I'll accept whoever to be my Trainer so long as I stay alongside my sister."
* Emma Sullivan smiled happily and took Valerie's hand into her own.
	Emma Sullivan: 	"That's right. Together."
	Cepheus White: 	"...It's been a good day overall," Cepheus quietly remarked, mostly to himself. "We managed to reunite a group of friends and get through the mountain, and make this place a little better while we were at it. Good deeds go a long way."
	Cepheus White: 	"But we aren't going to be done until we can do this for places like Cerulean and Saffron as well. There's still a lot ahead of us and we need to be ready."
	DNA-S: 	"Mr. White, I take it you've never heard of 'internal monologue.
	Crystal: 	"Um... in the process of getting punched, talking politics and hugging Miranda I guess I got a bit distracted. Like I said before, I'm a coordinator. That's what I do the most, aside from travelling with Team Oak here. If you both are interested in that kind of thing, I'd be happy to work with you both and help you achieve your dreams, and try to feel out where you are in life now."
	Venec: 	Venec looked uncomfortable, it seemed Crystal was going for Valerie too. He turned and started to walk away.
	Crystal: 	"Venec, don't. Valerie and her sister are the ones who will choose who to go with, okay?"
	Chelsea Romero: 	"W-What're the rest of us? Chopped liver?"
Venec whispers: (For log cause it is important, but not to ruin moments) He gritted his teeth and sighed, it felt like Miranda all over again suddenly. He worried if it was worth it, if it would grate on him again like it did with her. He was tired of fighting with Crystal, or even past Crystal. Or even if it was just his own imagined battle. He didn't like it.
	Cepheus White: 	"...Chelsea, I get the feeling you'll get along well with our fourth member."
	Cepheus White: 	"He's not here right now, but he's friendly, outgoing, and somewhat bouncy. Not unlike yourself, actually."
	Chelsea Romero: 	"T-Think he'll come to like me?!"
	Cepheus White: 	"I wouldn't doubt it."
* Crystal looks to Chelsea and Norma. Very intentionally ignoring Ingrid. "Sorry. I didn't mean to offend. My mind kind of got stuck on Valerie back when we first saw her. As for Danny... if you're friendly with him, probably. He takes some patience and some getting used to, though."
	Cepheus White: 	"To be honest I can see you two getting along swimmingly."
	Venec: 	Venec did stop, but looked to his feet.
	Cepheus White: 	"Though...he is a bit rambunctious at times."
	Crystal: 	"... Venec, look at me."
	Venec: 	"...I really don't want another contest."
	Emma Sullivan: 	"You two seem the most interested in my sister."
	Valerie Latham: 	"So, we'll be forward here."
	Valerie Latham: 	"You aren't at all newbies here."
	Crystal: 	"I'm not going to argue. It's Valerie's choice, not yours, not mine. I'm not going to be upset if she chooses you."
	Valerie Latham: 	"So, which of you can accomodate both me and my sister on your teams?"
	Venec: 	"Both of us I believe."
	Crystal: 	"I have two spots on my team I can comfortably exchange. Venec is a lot more free to change up who he's training and when. Venec, try and talk with them about what they'd gain working with you, don't just give in because I'm interested to. That just makes me feel awful for stepping on you."
	Venec: 	"One of my senior pokemon was talking with me about setting out on her own. And I've been raising real young ones but it's growing really dangerous. I might have three open spots by the end of tomorrow."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Now, since you're both interested, I'll do the fair thing here.
Kaorin Sakura: 	1
DNA: 	Flip a coin.
DNA: 	Wait, that's not fair.
Avara: 	let rob pitch first?
Kaorin Sakura: 	In a sense.
	Venec: 	"Um... well I'm a martial artist, and a fire pokemon trainer. I tend to stick with field types and humanshapes and, well, kind of girly pokemon if that's fair to say. I like to train for combat, both for sport, the power to defend oneself and those one loves, and to reach their potential. I fight with my pokemon, work with my pokemon and ask nothing of my pokemon that I wouldn't do myself."
	DNA-S: 	ask RaWI!
	DNA-S: 	see who wins!
	Venec: 	Venec walked over to pick up Elaine again.
	Emma Sullivan: 	"I kind of like the monkey guy, sis'."
	Emma Sullivan: 	"No offense to you."
* Emma Sullivan curtseys to Crystal.
* Crystal shrugs. "I don't mind. Good luck."
* Emma Sullivan and Valerie stepped over to Venec and nodded.
	Emma Sullivan: 	"Looks like you're stuck with us."
	Crystal: 	"And thus Venec's potential harem grows."
DNA: 	Somewhere, Jupiter whistled.
	DNA-S: 	"What about you, Norma?"
	DNA-S: 	"You've been awfully quiet."
	Miranda: 	"There's a few others we could grab."
	Norma Rogers: 	"I'm a bit weird looking..."
	Norma Rogers: 	"Who'd want me?"
	DNA-S: 	"We're ALL weird looking."
	DNA-S: 	"......"
	Crystal: 	"I'm a walking, talking fishy flower in a human shape. How are you weirder than me?"
	DNA-S: 	"Heck, Danny and Mr. White are the only ones that still look even slightly normal. Even though they're nowhere close."
	Miranda: 	"Wanna take Norma, Crysa?"
	Miranda: 	"And I think Cepheus should take Ingrid."
	Miranda: 	"For the obvious reasons of his Regi-fetish and because DNA here works magic on her brain."
	Cepheus White: 	"Tagging me with the Regi-fan stereotype, eh?"
	DNA-S: 	"Worked, past-tense."
	Crystal: 	"It might not be a one-time-only fix."
	DNA-S: 	"...I'm not used to using Dream Smoke. It puts a bit of a strain on me, to be frank."
	DNA-S: 	"That's true."
* DNA-S sighed a bit.
	Chelsea Romero: 	"I'd like to go with someone until that Danny fella comes around!"
	DNA-S: 	"Guess I'd better massage my brain a bit."
	Crystal: 	"It's up to Norma who Norma goes with. I already gave my introduction for everyone except Ingrid to hear."
	Norma Rogers: 	"I'd go with you...if you'd have me."
	Venec: 	"Sorry I'm a bit off... Crystal and I have been butting heads a lot lately." Venec laughed, but it was a bit hollow. "You should probably meet my team first, see what kind of culture you're getting yourself into. Two of them are ..." Venec scratches his head and blushes.
	DNA-S: 	"....She'd be glad to have you."
	DNA-S: 	"I've never known her to turn away a friendly face."
	Venec: 	"A-any way. I'm Venec Myles. It's nice to meet you."
* Crystal nods a bit. "You heard me say I'm a coordinator, right? Will you be okay with going up on a stage, in front of so many people?"
	Norma Rogers: 	"As long as you make me pretty enough!"
	Crystal: 	"What's your favorite kind of contest?"
	Norma Rogers: 	"I like Smart or Beauty ones."
	Crystal: 	"Miranda here's going to be my Smart star," she says, hugging Miranda in front of her for Norma to see. "Eli's done some cool-beauty stuff, but he's still deciding what he wants to do, so the Beauty spot's open."
	Norma Rogers: 	"i'd like to go with you then."
Kaorin Sakura: 	It's a quarter to 1 here for me.

Kaorin Sakura: 	So, what I was saying...
Kaorin Sakura: 	It's 10 of 1 AM.
Kaorin Sakura: 	And as much as I'd love for you guys to RP this and have fun and what-not.
Kaorin Sakura: 	I'm sure you guys want to see the outside WORLD before we quit. >.>''
DNA: 	z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z?
	Crystal: 	(can i just get one reply please?)
DNA: 	that too
DNA: 	Crystal: "Miranda here's going to be my Smart star," she says, hugging Miranda in front of her for Norma to see. "Eli's done some cool-beauty stuff, but he's still deciding what he wants to do, so the Beauty spot's open."
	Norma Rogers: 	"i'd like to go with you then."
	Norma Rogers: 	( I responded by I DC'd apparently too soon before you could see it. )
DNA: 	(Yeah, I missed that too.)
	Crystal: 	(alright)
Kaorin Sakura: 	So, people capturing folk just subtract the ball and I'll add them to your Pokehome.
	Crystal: 	"Okay. Chelsea, stick with Cepheus until Danny shows up--Cepheus is the closest to Danny in terms of friendship. They'll probably meet up first."
Kaorin Sakura: 	DNA, are you grabbing Chelsea as well as Ingrid?
	Crystal: 	"Now... Let's get out of here already!"
	Venec: 	"If you don't mind following me for now I want to give propper send-offs to the ones being sent off and everything. And I'm sure you want to see real daylight."
DNA: 	I will be snagging Ingrid. Chelsea I guess I will momentarily, until Danny shows up.
	DNA-S: 	"Venec, you can still carry Elaine, right?"
Avara: 	subtracted a pokeball
	Venec: 	"Yeah, she's as light as a ghost."
	DNA-S: 	"...har har."
Avara: 	changed norma from NPC to PC so i can actually see her name
* DNA-S carried Ingrid with him towards the exit. (still don't have control over her yet)
Kaorin Sakura: 	Now you do.
	Venec: 	I think we should call it here.
Avara: 	hellno
Avara: 	we are going outside the fucking cave
	Venec: 	haha
Avara: 	and we are going to see some manner of light. day or night.
	DNA-S: 	FREEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
	Venec: 	"Me first!"
* DNA-S sprint!
	Venec: 	Venec shouted as he ran behind Crystal
* Crystal is first out of the cave!
