Luke:
Yea... Hes kinda of a big deal

Coriander:
"...hidden somewhere in that park? I wouldn't put it past him..."

Everett:
"Did he take the plate?

Everett:
"-----"
Everett: (( that sea plate ))

Kenta:
"Ah, there it is. Not the Sea Plate though."
* Kenta gingerly picks up the pitch-black slab

Coriander:
"Really? You would have thought it would be that, with this whole water park motif."

Kenta:
"Heh, one last trick."

Everett:
"That is... the dread pirate roberts?"

Everett:
"Or he was, rather."

"The Dark-typed plate. He was also a dark-type."

Luke:
I though i sensed some familiarity with him

Kenta:
"And why that bug-typed attack from your Accelegor hit him for so much damage."
* Kenta addresses Luke
"BREACH CLOSED." As per usual, the fog is pulled into your watches. As it is pulled in, your vision is obscured and all of you find yourselves outside the abandoned water park. It looks completely run-down and destroyed, not like the lively park it had been.

Luke:
That looks a lot more like what i was staying in beforehand

Blue Girl:
"Hm. I guess that's the end of that."

Coriander:
"Seriously?" Cori walks over and takes Luke's arm. "That's it. You're-oh, hi."
You all notice the blue girl standing nearby. She seems impartial to the vanishment of the water park.

Everett:
"The end of what?"

Kenta:
"You're... still here?"

Blue Girl:
"The water park. Looks like I'll have to take my buisness elsewhere."

Blue Girl:
"Yes, I'm still here. I'm not a Pokemon. Well, not 100% anyways..."

Kenta:
"What... but how does that even... Uggghhh..."
* Kenta is looking awful pale...

Blue Girl:
"It's not that complicated."

Everett:
"You shuld google "Gardevoir" sometime with the safe search off. It'll make sense"
* Ryouta can't help but stare at the blue girl, but tires to hold his tongue
* Coriander keeps a hold on Luke's arm and moves over to support Kenta in case he collapses.

Fern:
"Okay, I'll do that!"

Blue Girl:
"What, pray tell, is a 'google'?"

Luke:
Whats a google?

Everett:
"Kenta, not you

Luke:
Can you eat it?

Blue Girl:
"Or wear it?"

Everett:
"It'd take to long to explain. it's not particularly relevant to you"

Kenta:
"Search engine for the internet here. Looks things..." he staggers, "up."

Luke:
Or throw it?

Luke:
Whats an... internet?

Blue Girl:
"What is an internet?"

Everett:
"See previous comment"

Blue Girl:
"And how have you set trains to search for objects?"

Luke:
Whats a train?

Kenta:
"Lots of computers conntected together, sharing data worldwide. Like the regional PC networks except they're used for all kinds of things..." He's startling to babble now
* Blue Girl frowns, trying to get all that.

Everett:
"ANYWAY MOVING ON. We'll explain electricity later"

Blue Girl:
"Oh please. I'm not a barbarian. I know what electricity is."

Luke:
Oh, computers i know what that is too!

Everett:
"Was a jab at Kenta. he's rambling again"

Luke:
Professor would stare at them, and alot of them were flashing red lights and weird symbols

Luke:
then i hit the ground hard......

Luke:
stupid alakazam

Kenta:
"Oooh lookit the spots..." Yeah, his eyes are starting to glaze. TIMBER!

Blue Girl:
"Hm. Fascinating. Does he do this often?"
* Luke sends his shadow out to catch kenta

Everett:
"Anybody have another bottle of water"

Everett:
"Get the shit kicked out of him by giant toothy monsters, actually, yeah"

Everett:
"lately anyway"

Kenta:
"Dren-lin crsh... n'd rest..." he manages to mutter
* Coriander supports Kenta as well

Blue Girl:
"Seems inconvienient."

Coriander:
"He just got hit pretty hard today..."

Blue Girl:
"Well, I have places to go. Things to sell. I think it likely we shall meet again, customers."

Luke:
If you find some google, save one for me!

Everett:
"have a nice evening"

Kenta:

Everett:
"Who's that?"
* Everett whispers quietly to nobody
* Borchev sends out a blast of cold rippling outwards, covering the ground in slick ice
You whisper to Craig: Human, level unknown. non-hostile, but potentially dangerous. ??? species, level unknown. Shows high signs of intelligence and a love for verbal irony.
Cheesypie says to the GMs: can i stealth off in the direction they are all looking for something?
You whisper to Cheesypie: yes, but everyone will see you since they are looking that direction.

Luke:
*Whispers* I got this one guys
A pair of familiar figures slip on the ice, falling into view.

Everett:
"Hu?"

"Luke, just stay quiet for now."
* Kenta is leaning very heavily on Cori at this point

Clara:
"Get off me!"

Everett:
'He's not a cop"
* Coriander whispers to Luke.
* Clara shoves Hu off of her and to the side.
You whisper to Cheesypie: sure
You whisper to Cheesypie: roll it
* Cheesypie rolls to you: 4d6+5+4 => 12 + 5 + 4 = 21

Hu:
"What makes you say that? I've got a badge and everything."
You whisper to Craig: your sword is still active, btw

Kenta:
"S'did I... fer my third birfday... Cori, can you make me a cake fer my birfday?"
Cheesypie says to the GMs: i just wanna hide and put my mask on, planning to jump out behind hu and clara and startle them, since i actually know who they are
* Clara carefully gets up, dusting herself off before moving to not-icy ground.
Cheesypie says to the GMs: thoes be my intentions

Coriander:
"Of course. But you should probably rest for now." Cori lays her hand flat on Kenta's forehead for a moment.
Coriander: (( actually, no wait, scratch that, she doesn't have a free hand ))
You whisper to Cheesypie: That's fine. I'll tell you when you've spent enough time to do that

Everett:
"Because, if my sources are correct, Clara, is not even human?"

Everett:
"What's your game?"

Kenta:
((there's always the forehead method))

* Coriander touches her forehead to Kenta's for a moment.

Clara:
"What? I'm human! I might have a little dragon in my blood but-"

Fern:
"Ooh, what is she then?"

Coriander:
"Fern!"

Hu:
"He's confused, dear."
* Borchev tenses, and rolls in front of the group.

Fern:
"What? If she's not human we don't have to hide in front of her anymore."

Borchev:
"No, am thinking that you are being liar. "Hu." So who are you really?"
* Hu slips a few times before managing to stand on the ice.

Ryouta:
Is she the same as that blue girl?

Hu:
"That device you're wearing is a scouter, correct?"

Everett:
"As far as I can tell"
* Kenta 's forehead feels colder than is probably healthy

Everett:
"If this is an anime, I suppose"

Hu:
"Now that you can see us clearly, I suggest you use it again."

Borchev:
"You are taking one step out of line, I will be putting you both on ice second time. And being much less nice about it."

Hu:
"Cute, but I doubt that."
* Clara smacks Hu, causing him to slip and fall on the ice.

Hu:
"Clara, on the other hand..."
* Coriander hisses and pulls Kenta a bit closer to her.

Everett:
"So the world seems to be falling apart, and every time we get to the bottom of it, we find you. What's your game?"
* Hu forces himself to his feet.

Hu:
"Only that I am an observer and an investigator."
You whisper to Cheesypie: now is good.

Ryouta:
Just who are you?
* Luke pops up behind Hu and Clara

Luke:
BOO!

Hu:
"I am-"

Coriander:
"Or maybe...what?"

Coriander:
"LUKE!"

Luke:
FEAR ME PUNY MORTALS!

Everett:
"Surely you're not the only one curious. Why is it you're all that ever shows up?"
Both Clara and Hu leap into the air. This causes Hu to fall again
* Luke doubles over laughing

Borchev:
"And skilled at avoiding true thrust of questions. Investigator you may be, but... heh."
* Coriander looks back at the hand that she had previously used to hold Luke's arm and shakes her head.
* Everett walks over and offeres either/both of them a hand
* Hu groans in pain.
* Clara frowns

Clara:
"You must be Luke."
* Luke takes off his mask to reveal the biggest grin on his face

Hu:
"Keen observation, my dear."

Luke:
Hey guys! hows it goin!

Borchev:
"And that is confirming. You are not being from this world at all. Who sent you "Hu"?"

Hu:
"Yes."

Coriander:
"You know these guys?"
* Clara kicks Hu

Clara:
"Don't start that again."
* Hu groans
* Borchev begins charging an Aurora Beam

Borchev:
"I am being DONE WITH GAMES HUMAN!"

Luke:
woh

Luke:
Hey now

Luke:
Calm down

Hu:
"How many times do I have to tell you that she's the human?"
* Luke steps between borchev and hu + clara
* Hu forces himself to his feet. Again.
* Luke turns back to the 2 getting off the ice

Luke:
I take it you didnt fill them in on anything?

Everett:
"Then you are?"

Coriander:
"What are you then?" Cori glares intently at Hu. "And be quick with it. Kenta needs more medical attention than I can provide here."

Ryouta:
Can we stop beating around the bush pleasE?

Borchev:
"If you are wanting me to hold my strike, speak plain and speak now."

Hu:
"Part of the job, unfortunately."
* Luke takes a step back from everyone talking at the same time

Hu:
"To make a long story short..." he whips out his badge "I believe your world knows me by my codename. They call me 'Looker'."

Coriander:
"What job?"

Hu:
"My assistant here is known as Zinnia."

Borchev:
"Looker is human in games. Had to listen to Kenta's theories for HOURS when you first showed up."

Luke:
And I am luke!
* Clara facepalms

Borchev:
"You have said you are not."

Clara:
"Yes Luke, yes you are."

Luke:
I just figured i would help with introductions!

Hu:
"I honestly wish I could answer your question. Really, I do. But even I don't technically know at this point."
* Kenta is now sort of nuzzling into Cori's neck

Everett:
"I FUCKING CALLED IT"
Everett: (( wow that took a long time to go through ))
* Coriander is smiling a bit, but then jumps at Everett's shout.

Coriander:
"Whoa!"

Ryouta:
Okay, so you ar ethe lookker.
* Coriander gives Everett a look.
* Hu slips, but manages to stay upright this time.

Ryouta:
That sounds weird in normal company, I'll keep calling you Hu

Coriander:
"Keep your voice down!"

Everett:
"Sorry"

Hu:
"I'd prefer that, actually. Don't want him catching onto our presence here."
* Borchev hasn't let his attack dissipate

Borchev:
"You speak of the one calling himself "Ashton"?"
* Hu raises an eyebrow.

Everett:
"So... INTERPOL, huh?"
* Luke tilts his head

Hu:
"Who is Ashton?"

Luke:
Whats an ashton?

Luke:
Is it like a google?
* Clara smacks Luke.

Clara:
"It's clearly a name!"
Everett: (( lol ))

Ryouta:
I'm very confused...

Coriander:
"I think he's the guy Kenta said he met with..."

Luke:
Ow! hey, im still trying to adjust to all these people here

Borchev:
"Said he was from your world. But had not transitioned properly. Only half there. Powerful, a mind-reader. Plucked Kenta's name from his head. Made some badly veiled threats, and laughed at Kenta."
* Coriander looks displeased at Clara smacking Luke.

Borchev:
"Knocked three bullies on their asses with wave of hand."

Looker:
"Our world? There's nobody in our world like that. Except maybe Sabrina. But that might be because I was not particularly good at keeping dates."

Zinnia:
"How hard is it to remember a birthday that happens literally days after yours?"

Luke:
You would be surpised.....

Looker:
"She only threw a few boulders at me."
* Borchev blinks

Zinnia:
"That's because you ran away!"

Borchev:
"Wait, Sabrina is powerful Psychic woman. Kenta mentions her before. And... sheis your mate?"

Looker:
"Well, it's been a few years. I'm sure she's forgiven me by now."

Everett:
So uh... where's Aster? Doesn't shw follow you everywhere?
* Zinnia looks a little sad.

Zinnia:
"Yeah... she did..."

Looker:
"It's been a long time since anyone has mentioned Aster."

Everett:
"Oh. Uh... sorry. Didn't mean to..."
* Ryouta tries to follow whats going on

Zinnia:
"It's fine. It was her time."

Borchev:
"What is happening. Please, we must know. The Guardians were supposed to be testing us. This we learned from Fang. But each time, something influences them, forces us to strike them down before we get answers. The dark is tiresome place to be, unless you are musroom."
* Borchev finally lets his Aura Beam dissipate

Fern:
"Hey, I like sunlight too!"
* Looker looks slightly relieved

Borchev:
"Was meaning no offense."

Luke:
Geeze Borchev you are scary

Borchev:
"Wait until am fully evolved boy. THEN will be scary."

Borchev:
"Now, am kickball with teeth. But have seen pictures. I will not be mocked then."

Fern:
"So, Cori, are you going to throw rocks at Kenta if he forgets your birthday too? Is that what human mates do?"
* Luke puts his head down and kicks at his feet
* Coriander flushes red.

Looker:
"I can't reveal everything at this junction, but I will say this- the corruptor is back."

Luke:
*quietly* Shade can be scarier

Coriander:
"um."

Luke:
I know the corruptor is back, Oak was shouting at me, then his alakazam threw me and shade over here
* Kenta giggles quietly and blows a rasberry into Cori's neck

Zinnia:
"That was why Samuel initiated the 'chosen ones' setup. We need you kids if we're going to stop him."
* Coriander squeals and squeezes Kenta harder for a moment.

Ryouta:
That I understand. So we gotta beat up this corrupter guy?

Borchev:
"And what of others? They have mon as well."

Borchev:
"And have device to rip open the space between worlds."

Coriander:
"Legerdemain, they call themselves."

Looker:
"I'm not entirely sure. We've been investigating them as well, but they have a teleporter of some sort that is making things difficult."

Borchev:
"Is Abra. Kenta idntified when first met."

Looker:
"Yes, I suppose that would do it. Pity we don't have a psychic along with us."
* Zinnia glares at Looker

Everett:
"If we find a ralt, trust me, we'll grab it"

Ryouta:
So... if you guys are from that world do you have Pokemon?

Luke:
A Raltz?

Borchev:
"The tinkerer is key. Others not so bad. Kenta and Cori seem to be making progress in bringing the girl with Duskull into their lek."
* Everett looks up ralts in the pokedex and shows it to Luke
* Luke turns red out of embarassment

Looker:
"Unfortunately, we had to make this jump alone."

Luke:
Go... Shroom....

Zinnia:
"It's rather troublesome when you have to work without something you've been with all your life."

Everett:
"Err... well okay then."

Looker:
"Like an arm."

Everett:
"Did someone say we needed teleport?"

Borchev:
"We have Aura User and White Witch, but... ah, we do have Psychic type at least."
* Zinnia shoots Looker an odd look

Looker:
"What? You've never lost an arm before?"
* Kenta seems to have passed out

Looker:
"You should probably get your friend some medical attention."
* Coriander nods.

Luke:
Where is the nearest pokecenter?

Looker:
"They don't have those here, boy."

Luke:
All these people and no pokecenter?

Everett:
"How about a hospital?"

Luke:
How do they live?!

Borchev:
"No pokecenters here. Kenta is medic. Get him awake enough, he can heal rest of way. Is saying, physician heal thyself, yes?"

Looker:
"Without Pokemon."

Ryouta:
He's the one of us with medical training

Coriander:
"Hospitals might ask questions, though. Although my grandma does know a bit about healing magic..."

Everett:
"Well generally we don't make a habit of throwing spears of ice and lightningbolts at each other"

Luke:
This place is weird and scary.... i wanna go home..........
* Coriander seems to blush again, probably remembering what her grandma said previously.

Zinnia:
"Best take him to your grandmother then. Here, give me a moment..."

Coriander:
"Hey," she says, expression softening as she looks at Luke, "it'll be alright. You can stay with my family as well. No more sleeping in abandoned parks."
* Luke turns a little white
* Zinnia reaches into one of Looker's pockets and pulls out an object somewhat like a cell phone.

Luke:
isnt the big scary guy with glasses there?

Luke:
I think ill stay with Zinnia and Looker if thats ok

Borchev:
"That is Archie. Is no threat."

Zinnia:
Pressing a few buttons, she finalizes it and places it back in Looker's pocket.

Coriander:
"He thought you were going to hurt me."
All of your watches note you have a new contact.

Borchev:
"Seeing you were threatening to stab her, is to be expected, yes?"

Borchev:
"Even if was bluff."

Looker:
"Are you sure this is a good idea, Zinnia?"

Zinnia:
"I'm sure I'm sure! Not like we haven't practically told them everything as it is."

Borchev:
"Except reason why all this is happening in first place. "Ashton" claimed was war by Oak, an attempt to rule world. Am thinking was lie."

Looker:
"Hm. It's possible. We'll look into this 'Ashton' character and let you know if we find anything."

Luke:
OOOH OOH I can help!!

Borchev:
"Being careful. Was powerful. Am thinking would swat you like bug Luke. Laughed when Kenta threatened violence, and you seem to be on same skill level."
* Zinnia looks at Looker

Luke:
I have Gilbert to help though

Looker:
"....Fine, fine. He can stay with us. I hope you like british sci-fi shows."
* Luke 's shadow rises out of the ground and waves
* Zinnia looks pleased.

Borchev:
"And Kenta had me and Asura. Would have still been flattened. Know to pick battles."

Luke:
Did we have any of thoes back home?

Zinnia:
"Looker here was bluffing. He couldn't hurt a fly."

Looker:
"Wouldn't, Zinnia. There's a difference."

Borchev:
"Even Magikarp learns Tackle. Nothing is completely without ways to cause harm."

Looker:
"Anyways, let's part for now, before your friend goes completely blue. Luke, are you coming?"

Luke:
Sure, we have a bit to catch up on, things oak shouted at me and stuff

Luke:
OH before we go, i should give you guys my contact info

Luke:
Thanks for saving my bacon back there

Coriander:
"No thanks necessary.
* Luke pulls out his watch and gives his contact info to the party

Borchev:
"Am hoping you would have done same for us."

Coriander:
"Don't be a stranger, okay? I want you to meet my family sometime."

Luke:
I think ill keep my distance from the big scary guy if you dont mind

Borchev:
"Don't make Kenta track you down with Asura. We know your scent now."

Coriander:
"We could meet in the park. Or you could come over when he's out. I'm not going to trick you like that again."
* Luke chuckles and turns to borchev

Luke:
It didnt work last time, cant see how it would work now
* Luke turns to Cori

Luke:
Thanks, we will all have to meet up and compare notes sometime

Ryouta:
Before you leave is there anything we can do to find these bad guys, or should we just wait for you?

Zinnia:
"It's probably best if you just wait for us. There's a lot we have to explain."

Luke:
And I'll keep a lookout for this "Ashton" character, I'll let you know if i find anything

Coriander:
"Also...is there any way to contact you through a normal phone call or something like that? I'm worried about my little brother, since he's still in the dark about a lot of this, and I'd feel better knowing there was someone else he could call in case of an emergnecy who knows about what's really going on."

Looker:
"Unfortunately our phones don't work on your world's network."

Looker:
"Frankly, I'm amazed they even work."

Zinnia:
"Samuel sure does have some amazing gadgetry."

Borchev:
"So buy burner phones with local cash. Cheap, one-use, easy to get."

Looker:
"Burner Phones?"

Borchev:
"At least according to show Kenta watches. Burn Notice gives such interesting lessons."
* Looker pulls out a pair of what look like 3D-Glasses.

Borchev:
"Pre-paid cell phones."

Looker:
"Come Zinnia! Luke! We must seek out these... burner phones!"
* Looker heads off
* Zinnia gives a short bow. "Sorry about him."

Borchev:
"Ask for pre-paid cell phones. Burner phones is criminal term!" Borchev shouts after him.

Luke:
wait for me!
* Luke hurridly takes off after them

Coriander:
"And let us know what their numbers are too!" Cori calls after them.
* Zinnia chases after looker
Aaaaaaaand we'll end here for the night.

Everett:
"Now what?"
Luke: (( unless the others have some stuff they wanna do ))

Borchev:
((A little shorter than average, but we'll live))

Coriander:
"We head home. Ryouta, mind giving me a hand with Kenta here?"
Coriander: (( Okay with ending it here ))

Ryouta:
No problem
* Ryouta picks up and puts Kenta on his back
Dan: (( I don't really have anything else, and the party is now split. Also, I'm ravenously hungry right now. ))

Borchev:
(9stopping here is fine))
Everett: (( most everything I want to do is solo ))
Everett: (( or with Ryouta ))
Coriander: (( we could probably do Cori bringing Kenta home as a side-session ))
As a reminder, the campaign will be temporarily put on hold until I figure things out with my potential job and move, though I might be able to squeeze in side-sessions.
