Yuumi:

Tokens dropped onto map 'Yoshino Village' by player Agi (Player)
Thrice:
Cahya has 19
Thrice:
had Orochimaru wanted to attack her he probably could have killed hedr

Yuumi:
Also Tirk I'm -totally- lost as far as Masamune's arc goes

Yuumi:
what was he again

Yuumi:
or was I wrong to assume he had significance beyond the initial encounter
Thrice:
he's a pokman
Thrice:
his significance is in being a pokman

Yuumi:
o ok
tirkaroKujo:
Masamune is the Pokemon belonging to/acting as the host to Masamune of the Crescent Tide, and he's mostly been following you around ever since

Yuumi:
Ooh, descriptive paragraphs.

Yuumi:
Alright, what's Miyako's deal

Liesel:
There are a lot of me

Yuumi:
Gimme your Wiki entry on Miyako
tirkaroKujo:
What do you mean, Miyako's deal, there are many deals about Miyako

Yuumi:
This is the start of Season 2 man

Yuumi:
You're the announcer
tirkaroKujo:
Hmm I guess I could say it then

Yuumi:
or rather, the narrator

Yuumi:
Gotta remind the audience of who the cast is
tirkaroKujo:
Considering MT left and we couldn't find him

Yuumi:
oh I'm sure he'll show in good tim

Yuumi:
e
tirkaroKujo:
wait actually no i cant bc it would require interacting with things
tirkaroKujo:
bc I'm assuming you're talking about what happens in terms of the aftermath of Flora "disappearing"

Yuumi:
n-no, I wasn't

Yuumi:
I was just talking like the enthusiastic narrator describing our cast of characters don't judge meee
tirkaroKujo:
Oh, basically you just want me to do the PCs dirty work then despite them all being, like, right there huh :^|

Yuumi:
fine I'll just wait in silence all bored then

Yuumi:
have it your way
tirkaroKujo:
In which case, Miyako went and told her sad...state of affairs to Flora. Something about a terrible "beast" lying within her....I wonder who, or what it is...
tirkaroKujo:
I'd prefer if you'd, like, ask me about an NPC or something, something I can actually give information on :^|
Thrice:
tell me everything about Noshizoki in extreme detail

Yuumi:
wow you've been playing this campaign with us for like a month now and can't tell us a single thing about our characters

Yuumi:
that's sad
tirkaroKujo:
I can, but like
tirkaroKujo:
do you really want me to
Thrice:
to be fair, he's also been NOT playing this campaign with us for like a month now.
tirkaroKujo:
I feel like this campaign is more or less just beginning anyway
Thrice:
never say that

Yuumi:
you'd know better than we would
Thrice:
that's what I said about Tudari
Thrice:
and PCFinder2
Thrice:
both PCFinder2s

Yuumi:
I'll go look up honorifics and pronouns then, never actually did that.
Thrice:
and Iornia.
tirkaroKujo:
I can tell ya'll about Cahya tho
tirkaroKujo:
and how she just fukt everyone by snitching herself out to Orochimaru

Yuumi:
oh shiit did she

Yuumi:
Thrice, you apparently know this stuff

Yuumi:
Is this reliable http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns
Thrice:
probably
Thrice:
Eh, it'll be fine
Thrice:
the only people who can suffer from it are her village
Thrice:
and really, she's just using Orochimaru as a means to an end
Thrice:
he goes in and weakens them, or riles them up by telling them about her plan
Thrice:
and it makes it easier for her to pull her plan off
Thrice:
If the village decides to send more people out to kill her, that also may work to her plan

Yuumi:
Legends say the only thing to rival MT's insatiable need for sleep

Yuumi:
is MT's insatiable need for dick

Yuumi:
whip em out, boys

Miyako:
annnny chance we can do a side thing

Miyako:
I'm just playing JoJos right now lol
tirkaroKujo:
Sure, I guess

Yuumi:
Hey, hey, I remember you said you were holding off on the token switch until... something else
tirkaroKujo:
technically nothing's stopping us

Yuumi:
I don't remember what it was.

Miyako:
I change my mind :D
Thrice:
A side thign when none of us are together and two out of three of us are dead

Yuumi:
no one has ever done that

Yuumi:
I'm sorta locked onto Reika right now.

Yuumi:
And have Reila with us

Miyako:
I have 3 other Pokemon I can use :x

Yuumi:
I don't mind either way

Yuumi:
I just wanna see some tub action today

Miyako:
we could just say this place after the whole talking thing is done

Miyako:
or before it

Yuumi:
there's no doubt in my mind that MT will be here.

Yuumi:
The Flora thing can be gotten out of the way, most likely
Thrice:
dude he may have died in his sleep
Thrice:
you never know
Thrice:
Those who aren't coming with us on our grand trip to wherever the fuck, they're not permanent
Thrice:
Me, you, and Tirk are safe - but Twilt could drop dead any second

Miyako:
Alrighty, ready to do whatever side thing
Thrice:
Nah, I depressed Agi
Thrice:
It's cool now, you can go back to Jojo

Yuumi:
I'm not even needed for the side thing

Miyako:
I-I just turned my Ps3 off ._.

Yuumi:
I could drown in a pool of oreos and you'd be good to go
tirkaroKujo:
Well basically, in this somewhat anticlimatic opening, what's assumed is that right after you do your thing with Flora, you leave the room for some reason or another
Thrice:
so it's a Twilt-only thing I guess
Thrice:
back to Logging Into The Horizon I suppose
Thrice is disconnected.
tirkaroKujo:
This could, of course technically be the ne- yooou dumbaaasss
tirkaroKujo:
the next day, as a means to have everyone healed up

Miyako:
"...I'm gonna get some fresh air. Come, Hiryu." She commands her frog companion as she also carries her sword with her.

Miyako:
Soo can I make it so Reila's back on my side after comforting Reika?

Miyako:
assuming it's next day

Yuumi:
there's no way this is next day yet

Yuumi:
anything could happen between Reika and I getting back

Yuumi:
and there's MT anyhow

Miyako:
mip
MarthTrinity has connected.
tirkaroKujo:
ok so dam
tirkaroKujo:
I guess it's not the next day

Miyako:
yareyaredaze >:
Thrice has connected.

Yuumi:
yo I'm about to eat
MarthTrinity: (( What is that from agi. ))
tirkaroKujo:
Anyway, now that we're properly in order, let's go thru a checklist- assumedly, Miyako does still go out to get some fresh air
Yuumi: (( Robocop. ))
Thrice: (( what is what from mt ))
Reika: (( RIGHT! Thank you. ))
Reika: (( Robocop fried chicken. ))
Yuumi: (( friedo chigen ))
tirkaroKujo:
and also, Reika and Yuumi are still kinda doing a thing, sorry I dozed off a little at the tail end of that convo, forgive meeee

Miyako:
"...Hmm..." Miyako just seems lost in thought, thinking if it was okay to tell Flora what she told her.

Yuumi:
Naw, we're done with our thing.

Yuumi:
We're headed on back.

Yuumi:
...in critical condition. Kinda handwaved that one, as one does.

Reika:
"Don't worry, my lips are sealed on your secret, Yuumi." Reika looks back at the village, "We should probably head back to the village though, I think my legs are tired of carrying me around at this point, hehe."
Reika: (( ALSO THE PIKACHU WILL SPILL ALL OF YOUR SECRETS. ))

Reila♀ :
maybe I will

Reila♀ :
if there's someone that can speak Pikachu
Thrice: (( Reika is paralyzed it seems ))
Thrice: (( that or she just got a golden shower ))

Yuumi:
"I'm with you on that one. Don't usually end up that close to the action..."
Yuumi: (( I think that's just a holdover from the character rankings ))

Reila♀ :
"Pika!" Reila, super charged with her new move, enthusiastically points to the inn.

Yuumi:
"It's going to have to come out eventually, there's only so long I can keep it secret myself! I'll have to come up with a good story."

Yuumi:
oh SHIT IT'SHER

Yuumi:
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN THER

Yuumi:
E
tirkaroKujo:
You head on back to the village, mostly to the sight of two legendary pokemon bickering loudly to eachother, but thankfully not enough to shatter the village just yet.

Reika:
"Well don't forget, I'm not the only set of ears that heard it." she replies, patting hte Pikachu on the heard.

Kyogre:
"Oh, oh, I forgot. There are still lowly humans around. I need to keep my dignity...and...COMPSURE! I'm not quite a sellout to the humans like you are just yet!"

Yuumi:
"Eh, not too worried. They never seem to remember anyway, which works out for me. Must be a side effect that's kept the guardian hidden all this time."

Yuumi:
"And heello, speaking of..." Yuumi's eyes wander to the bickering ladies of death and destruction

Celebi:
"Mrgrgr....hey all. It's getting a little late, and it seems our peaceful village is still in one piece as it should be...I do wonder, though..."

Reika:
"You do wonder..?"

Celebi:
"Have you seen any, um...suspicious activity lately? I swear I saw that man riding on a snake up to something specific...I think he was contacting one of your fellows up in that hotel in fact...are you hiding something from me?"
Yuumi: (( oh right, anyone remember how much $$$ we got from the last encounter? I forgot to write it down ))

Celebi:
"Not that I'm any less grateful for you, y'know, showing these stubborn fools what for, but I have to keep this region at peace wherever I can..."
Miyako: (( should be 5000? ))

Yuumi:
"Oh, Oro? Isn't he just adorable? He's WAY too small for that snake he's riding around!"

Celebi:
5000 ryo
Thrice: (( that sounds right, I had 60 before that, and paid 200 for the hotel ))

Reika:
"Hiding anything? Of course not, we're simply a new Youkai Buster squad. The one with the snake isn't with us."
Miyako: (( you mind if I "overhear" this discussion and join in tirk, or did you have something else in mind for me? ))

Celebi:
"I have to say, Orochimaru's business here has been eyebrow raising to say the least. He's well known strategic prodigy around these parts. A genius, if I do say so myself...."

Reika:
"That's quite the praise, coming from a legend such as yourself.."

Celebi:
Hmmm, I guess I do, but you overhearing it wouldn't be too out of line

Yuumi:
"Well what's so suspicious about that? He was just looking into the weird time thingie when we met him. Seems pretty reasonable to me."

Celebi:
"I give credit where credit is due. Sadly, my power is not quite what it once was, many years ago...so I haven't been able to protect my people as well as I'd like..."

Kyogre:
"Heh. Me, however, I'm still well at my prime! As I'm sure you've witnessed!"

Miyako:
"...Hmm? What's going on over there?" She says overhearing the conversation and walks towards them. "Hiryu, follow."

Masa:
BUT BEFORE YOU CAN, this man stops you. "Hey, you! You there! You're the kind ol' patrons I heard of that done prevented all these here weather calamities, right?"

Miyako:
"...And who wants to know exactly?"

Reika:
"Yes, I'm still rather achey from that whole ordeal..."

Masa:
"Allow me to introduce myself, 'names Masa, one of the few and proud head chefs of our proud Ristorante Odeo, hands down THE finest caterers of cuisine within all of Johto! Why yes, in fact, this place is due to become the main attraction of our humble little Yoshino Village!....But we've had some trouble actually opening the cursed place, due to obvious reasons."

Yuumi:
"Aw, it wasn't so bad! I just wonder what you were fighting over!"
Cahya: (( well OF COURSE you've had trouble, it's CURSED ))

Reika:
"It's in their nature, I believe, Yuumi."

Masa:
"And to make matters worse! Someone was recently rummaging through our wares! How does that even happen?!"
Cahya: (( shit maybe yo ushoulda thought that one through ))

Kuchi:
*Urp*

Yuumi:
"Are they sisters? That'd make sense then."

Masa:
"But we're reboundin' rather quick, so what I want ya'll to do is to help a lowly chef out! For our grand openin', you oughta be our special guests for publicity reasons!"
Cahya: (( for the record, agi ))

Miyako:
"Hmph...interesting. But...what would be in it for us?"

Celebi:
"I thought it was to prevent any curses from materializing from within..."
Cahya: (( that TVTRopes page you linked is PRONOUNS ))
Yuumi: (( I know ))
Cahya: (( not honorifics ))
Yuumi: (( That's what I linked it for ))

Miyako:
Miyako taps her foot, somewhat annoyed that this guy stopped her from reaching her allies.

Kyogre:
"Oh, you know...just a case of my sister being a complete dunsparce as always..."

Yuumi:
"Ha! Called it."

Kyogre:
"Trust me, it was for the better. If I didn't step in, who knows what would have happened!"

Masa:
"So waddya say? Help a starvin' artist out here, huh?"

Reika:
"I think they both have different ideals of how the world should be shaped...not sure I exactly want to swim everywhere though..."

Celebi:
"They're two sides of the same coin, really. One couldn't exist without the other. But level headed and graceful, they are not..."

Miyako:
*Sigh* "I believe I asked you if there would be any benefits to doing it. Not too interested in showing up for nothing."

Masa:
"Oh uh...well, of course, your food would be on us, see? It's damn good food too, y'know!"
Yuumi: (( You can't eat food- wait ))

Cahya:
"Ahhya...that little one, I wonder what he will do? Aha...it will benefit me, any way he spins it. It may even convince Aruna-sama... Ah, but to be that cute, and not attack me, he cannot be all bad! Is that not flawless logic, Cayce?" Cahya does more than mumble to herself; she's practically holding a conversation with the woman in the mirror
Cahya: (( Cahya can't eat food that anyone else prepares, not Miyako ))

Masa:
"Why, in just a few years, there will be people paying top dollar just for the honor of dining here! And you'll get it early, for FREE!"

Yuumi:
"Did I just hear free food?"

Miyako:
"Hmph, how do I know this food won't be trashy? You claim to be a head chef, but where's the evidence?"

Reika:
Reika exhales, "I'm just glad your other little friend didn't show up to break up the fight..."

Masa:
"Why yes! Food, and it's FOR FREE....for you guys, of course, and only for tomorrow AKA our grand opening. Y'know, it's the best we can do to thank you, and also all we can really pay you with."

Miyako:
"This is...a bit too convenient." 21 *Intuition to see if he's planning to ruse cruise or something

Yuumi:
you have my attention Mr. food man.

Masa:
Well he seems certainly excited, if a little desperate.

Yuumi:
"Hey, guy! What's the deal with the free food?"

Reika:
Reika's thought is cut short by the appearance of food guy, "Oh, there's Miyako, Reila, I'm sure you're anxious to get back to her."

Miyako:
"...I'll pass. I'm not here to be your tool just to get some desperate ryo. She seems to be pretty excited for it though, so I have no objections there." She says as she walks past him, and up to Reika/Reila.

Masa:
"Oh, didn't you hear? We'd like to have you as the guests for our grand opening, for, y'know, publicity reasons! Also because you seem to be really good at warding off curses..."

Reila♀ :
"Pika!" She enthusiastically jumps back to Miyako's shoulder.

Yuumi:
"Awesome! We're in."

Celebi:
"I remember this restaraunt was supposed to have it's 'Grand Opening' about a year ago. Various oddities have constantly delayed this opening for a while..."

Masa:
"Yeah well, THIS TIME we're confident everything will go according to plan!"

Reika:
"Hmm, we seem to be short a few members. I'm sure Cahya's off by herself, but wasn't Flora with you, Miyako?"

Miyako:
"Reila. You seem stronger in a way, now." She pets her electric rat. "I take it you're feeling better now?" She says at Reika.

Marona:
Marona goes about sweeping the floors of this level. "Hum dee dum...." she also knocks on your door. "Hello? Is everything okay in here? Mind if I do inspections?"

Miyako:
"She's at the inn, getting some rest. Quite frankly, perhaps you two should be joining her too before you think about food just yet."

Miyako:
should consider joining her too* is prolly a better way to write, but yeah

Reika:
"Heh, not really to be honest. I'm still sorta shakey..."

Yuumi:
"Oh, yeah, and the tutoring went just fine. Give her an hour or so, and she'll be ready to use Thunderbolt."

Cahya:
"Ehya? Ahahya...you are free to enter. It is your inn, after all." Cahya's already cleaned the blood off the floor, so she has nothing to hide anymore.

Miyako:
Miyako sighs. "Yare yare daze...inn's not too far from here, but...you need any help getting there? I can carry you to an extent with my sand if it's too troubling for you."

Miyako:
"And hmph, I suppose that's worth a thanks." She says to Yuumi.

Reila♀ :
"Pika Pika!" She nods as if she feels stronger nao.

Reika:
Reika smiles faintly, "I know I always ride around on Oldboy, but I am capable of walking myself. Thank you for the offer though."

Yuumi:
"That didn't work out so well last time, did it?" Yuumi smirks, alluding to the time Reika got the rocks dropped on her.

Marona:
She heads in, quietly inspecting the place and sweeping the floors. "Aaa aaah! I think you were one of those really beat-up looking women from before. Have any injuries that should be treated? Just so you know, I am also a professional nurse...or closest thing to a professional around here anyway."

Marona:
"If you or anyone else you know needs treating, don't hesitate to ask me for assistance! We've lost enough young warriors around here as is due to such careless behavior..."

Yuumi:
"Hey! Are you two down for the grand opening?" Yuumi points back at Masa. "That guy's treat."

Yuumi:
"You had just as much a role in it as we did, if not more!"

Cahya:
"Ahya...No, that is fine. I myself am the most suited for my own treatments! Mmm..I say that, and it is true, but I do believe our smallest member could use your aid. She is in a worse state than I, and I fear to use my anesthetics on her!"

Reika:
"But yes...I should probably make my way back to the inn...excuse me, please."
Reika: (( I read that as "I fear to use my aesthetic on her!" ))

Miyako:
"I'll follow just to make sure you don't fall over before getting there. We could use a little more rest I suppose." She pets Reila on her shoulder.

Marona:
"Hmm, all right. If you're doing fine enough, I'll have to assume the best. Now to just inspect the other rooms...."

Cahya:
"Mmh...who else stays here today?"

Marona:
After checking a few more of the rooms, Marona lets out a panicked scream and clumsily falls over, snapping her broom in half as a result.

Yuumi:
>FLORA WAS ASSASSINATED OFF CAMERA

Yuumi:
DAMN IT AKATSUKI.

Cahya:
"Hofyeh? Ahya, assault?" Cahya hobbles out of the room after her actually-alive Pokemon, which dashed out right after the scream, "Whatever is it?"

Reika:
Reika hears the scream and hurries inside. She may be hurt, but that's never stopped her from butting into situations she probably doesn't need to be a part of before.

Miyako:
"! Tch, can't leave for 5 minutes..." She hurries inside. "Flora, where are you?!" She calls to her.

Yuumi:
"Whoa! Where'd everyone else go?"

Marona:
Marona simply sits on the floor, trying to piece together what she just saw. Nonetheless, the door to Flora's/Miyako's abode remains open.

Miyako:
"...Flora?!" She looks everywhere in the room. "She was severely injured, there's no way she would be foolish enough to leave her room in her condition...would she?"

Yuumi:
"Craap, I better get going too. Hey! Grand opening tomorrow, don't forget!" Yuumi points eye to eye with Celoli and Kyuguu before rushing after the other two

Masamune (Dewott):
"Dew!"

Reika:
"What happened?!" Reika asks, rushing over to the obligatory Marona expy.

Yuumi:
"Gyouch..." she stumbles but keeps up the jog. "I guess they really did a number to my ankle back there..."

Yuumi:
"Hey, what's everyone freaking out over?"
Reika: (( And then Flora is literally -covering- the room. Merge just told tirk to kill her off in the most spectacularly gory fashion. ))

Marona:
The room itself is now, unfortunately, empty, save for massive splotches of dark, ghostly matter splattered across the room, and a mess of tags all over the ground. You can tell these are the specialized tags Flora used. "Wh-what's the meaning of this?!"

Cahya:
"Ahya, little one, what has happened? Aggressive littering, perhaps...?"
Yuumi: (( am I "little one" ))

Miyako:
"Flora...what on earth happened...?" Is there no last message Flora attempted to leave behind
Reika: (( Yes. You're like two feet tall. ))
Yuumi: (( is everyone "little one" ))
Yuumi: (( is Cahya 8 feet tall ))
Cahya: (( She calls everyone that ))
Cahya: (( She was talking to Marona there ))
Cahya: (( Cahya's 5'11", which is taller than everyone here at least ))

Reika:
Reika looks around the room, "What in the...? What on earth is this...?"

Marona:
The tags are separated into two groups, a rather organized and compact deck of tags, and some spread messily along the ground, those being Flora's special tags which she used to write notes with.
Reika: (( WHICH SHE USED TO BEFORE SHE DIED ;~; ))

Miyako:
Flora: "That was my final emerald splash...please understand..." ;_;

Yuumi:
"Whoaa...! this is something else." Yuumi scans the room. "This was Flora's room?"

Miyako:
"..." She walks up to the ones with special notes, hoping maybe there's some sort of message on them.
Reika: (( Note: "I'm ded. lol" ))
* Agi rolls secretly to you: 19 Occult Education, maybe I have an idea of what could cause this from off-camera minor instruction with Flora => Invalid expression: 19 Occult Education, maybe I have an idea of what could cause this from off-camera minor instruction with Flora.

Cahya:
"Hmhm...I wonder what our greying friend has left?"

Marona:
The notes themselves go quite a ways back, but the primary ones of interest are notes detailing how she's currently recovering, and one particularly ominous one that simply states how she's paying off the cost of her powers.

Yuumi:
"No one heard anything?" Yuumi attempts to bend the goop, to see if there's any water content.

Reika:
'This is...bizarre..."

Marona:
The one directly aside it, in the dead center of the mess, is written a little more sloppily and simply says "I will be back in due time"
Reika: (( Oddly calm about being taken away by ghosts. That's our Flora." ))

Marona:
And the mysterious black goop isn't really made of water. It's simply ghostly matter. More like a plasma if anything.
Reika: (( Taste it. ))
Yuumi: (( You taste it. ))
Reika: (( No you. ))
Miyako: (( the taste of a liar? ))
Yuumi: (( Let's have Miyako taste it. ))

Yuumi:
"Weird. This goop is totally unnatural... I'm not sensing any water at all! She must've done something hugely otherworldly here!"

Marona:
also, the tags in a neat little organized deck are more standard cleanse tags, as you could tell. Quite important for the act of busting Youkai.

Marona:
There are about 7 of them total, previously 8 but one of them seems to have been ripped apart beyond repar.

Miyako:
"...Flora...where did you go...?" She falls to her knees, upon reading the tag. She seems to be lost in thought, losing her first human friend so early...

Marona:
"But no really, what IS the meaning of this?!"

Marona:
"I don't have to take anyone in for this, do I?"

Yuumi:
"Well, who signed the papers for liability in case of damages?"

Cahya:
"Ahh...to depart so suddenly, leaving a vague promise of return...hyaya! We are crippled now! Oh, my, this was not in the plan at all! I may have indeed caused myself some trouble earlier..."

Yuumi:
"You're going to need more than rubbing alcohol to clean THIS up..."

Yuumi:
(The heck do you think you're doing, Flora, disappearing like this...?)

Marona:
"What an utterly dreadful residue...." The cleanup lady tries to the best to her abilities to clean up the scene before her, but boy is it a mess nobody should have to deal with.

Yuumi:
Yuumi squelches on over, and inspects the room. "So, do you think she went to the shadow realm, orrrr JUST OUT THIS WINDOW RIGHT HERE?" She pulls the curtain, revealing a closed window.

Yuumi:
"Dang, no dice. Shadow realm it is!"

Reila♀ :
"...Pika, Pika...?" She says, trying to comfort her master.

Reila♀ :
wow insensitive much

Reika:
Reika sighs, "This is all so much..."

Cahya:
"Shadow realm...hm. Ahahya...let us hope not, little one. There would be nothing we could do, were that the case."

Reila♀ :
shizaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yuumi:
"There already isn't much we can do!"

Yuumi:
"Come on, you guys knew Flora! She was totally into that occulty, ghosty stuff. I'm not sure what she means by atonement for her powers... but if she says she's coming back, I believe her."

Cahya:
"Ahahya! If she has gone for the shadow realm, there is no hope. That is the domain of one alone, and from my hearings, they are not a friendly presence! Hope instead that she is simply gone elsewhere, snatched away in the day!"

Marona:
"Well, this took way longer than I'd have liked...you should be thankful I'm not charging extra for this...I'm still not quite sure what happened here..."

Reika:
"This is all so sudden..." Reika rubs her forehead, "I mean, she has been using her powers a lot lately...I have no idea how often she did before she was with us..."

Miyako:
"...She doesn't even bother to say goodbye properly in person? Like, not even a warning at least?! What the HELL is wrong with that girl? She pisses me off so much!" Miyako punches a wall in frustration.

Yuumi:
"Aw, whatever! I'm sure Flora's dealt with worse!"

Yuumi:
"If you haven't noticed, she's kind of a badass."

Reika:
"I assume she didn't have much of a say in it.."

Cahya:
"Hah...Maah, oh well! What concern of ours is it, where she goes? Hmm...but she has left us without our strongest fighting force. We are barren now!"

Cahya:
"If you do not learn to make up for your weaknesses with proper teamwork, you shall be ravaged on the battlefield!"

Cahya:
"After all, you cannot improve your imperfections!"

Yuumi:
Yuumi sneaks 500 ryo to the cleaning lady as a tip. "You deserve more, but we're on a budget... just be glad it's not in irredeemable card form."

Miyako:
"Yeah, but...she was my frie-...ally..." Miyako looks sadly on the ground, thinking. She crushes the paper with Flora's message in it out of frustration.

Yuumi:
"Phoo, yeah, Flora's been carrying us for a while..."

Yuumi:
"Our journey would've been over without her earlier today."

Cahya:
"Ahah...companion today, foe or dead tomorrow. You must learn to use your allies to the best of their abilities while you can, but not to lack them when they are gone!"

Reika:
"I agree...if Flora says she'll be back, then we should have faith in her coming back...and I also agree that this means we'll have to be more careful. We've lost a strong ally and our form of long range communication..." Reika turns to Yuumi, "Don't sell the rest of us short..." she replies, a slight tone of irritation in her voice.

Yuumi:
"Are you kidding me? I ran the numbers, Flora's POKEMON might not be much, but one on one I could see her taking down just about anything."

Marona:
"How kind of you...even if you sound quite distressed right now. Still, a tip's a tip..." Marona just does what she can to survive in this climate.

Cahya:
"Ahyaha! Do not put too high a price on yourself, little one! None will buy it! This team, it does not work well together. Yesterday was the first time an order had been heeded... I have worked on few teams, and even fewer stable ones, in my years. This one has more potential than most..but it is shaking now."

Cahya:
"With one pillar gone, the others must be wider!"

Cahya:
"And more intelligently placed..."

Yuumi:
let's cluster em

Yuumi:
into one gigantic superpillar

Yuumi:
nothing can go wrong
Reika: (( A gigantic super pillar dripping with oil ))
Yuumi: (( I can't tell if that's a jojo's reference or a penis joke ))
Cahya: (( Kars is dead, now we have to rely on Santana ))
Cahya: (( -Santana- ))
Yuumi: (( who's Santana ))
Yuumi: (( is Reika Santana ))
Cahya: (( apparently he's jsut called SAN VIENTO or some shit in the sub ))
Yuumi: (( is CAHYA Santana ))
Yuumi: (( I know who Santana is, but who's Santana (D) ))
Cahya: (( Santa was the weakest pillarman ))
Cahya: (( so it's Yuumi. ))
Yuumi: (( I see. ))

Marona:
*Sigh* "I guess my cleaning is done now...you can keep those scraps of paper. Just...don't hesitate to contact me if things seem to get a little sketchy again..."
Cahya: (( Reika is Wamuu, Cahya is ACDC ))
Cahya: (( Miyako is Speedwagon ))
Yuumi: (( why does Miyako get to be the best character ))
Cahya: (( Speedwagon BEFORE he was a good guy. ))

Reika:
Reika squirms in place slight, "Believe me...I know Flora was our strongest member...I'm not trying to downplay that..."
Yuumi: (( So Speedwagon in his 2 second appearance? ))
Cahya: (( Yes. ))
Miyako: (( I like how Speedwagon becomes essentially because Jonathan didn't kick him as hard as he could have ))
Miyako: (( becomes good* ))

Yuumi:
"I'm just saying, Cahya's right! We

Yuumi:
're all totally strong and stuff on our own, but we don't really do much as far as teamwork goes."

Cahya:
"Ahah...do not be overconfident. I could name many now who outpower us greatly! Do not believe that simply working together allows one to be faultless. It is a good step forward, however, certainly, we would not die as quickly!"

Yuumi:
"I thought the 'take one of them down at a time' strategy was a good idea, but that didn't really work out..."

Masamune (Dewott):
"Dew dew..."

Reika:
"I don't think anyone's being overconfident...it seems the exact opposite at the moment..." Reika sighs, "..and yes, I was hoping that strategy would go somewhere but..."

Yuumi:
get outta here, cleaning lady

Yuumi:
shoo, shoo
Yuumi: (( >tfw the cleaning lady doesn't shoo vaguelyRelatedButNotReallyVine.vine ))

Marona:
:^(
Yuumi: (( where did everyone go ))

Cahya:
"Ehyeh...not all strategies are meant for implementation. Now, I must recuperate! I suggest you do the same! After all, we may be under attack soon, yes?" Cahya says it as cavalierly as possible, but it's nonetheless clear that she's not joking.

Yuumi:
"Whoa, whoa, run that by me again? Under attack by what?"

Cahya:
"Any number of people! Our cutest friend, our second cutest friend, those with a grudge against us, or the one responsible for Flora's disappearance! Some are more likely than others."

Reika:
"It seems to be a running trend that we're attacked by things, so I wouldn't be too terribly surprised..."

Miyako:
"...Yes, we should all rest." Miyako says as she stands up. "This is happening just all so suddenly..."

Yuumi:
"Dibs on not sleeping in the room filled with ectocooler."

Reika:
Reika turns around to face Miyako, "We'll find her, Miyako. She said she'd be back and I have no reason to doubt her..."

Yuumi:
anyway unless anyone has anything to say

Yuumi:
WE NEXT DAY BOYS

Yuumi:
or GALS

Miyako:
"...You're right." Miyako sighs and prepares to get some rest. (...Flora, wherever the hell you are, you better come back...)

Yuumi:

Cahya: (( it's probably a p low check to notice that her eye color is different ))

Reika:
The injury lowered the Special Defense stat!

Hiryu♂:
Healed up! Recovered 21 HP.

Masamune (Dewott):
Healed up! Recovered 47 HP.
Reika: (( O rite. ))

Yuumi:

tirkaroKujo:

Oldboy:
Healed up! Recovered 161 HP.
Oldboy: (( Yeah, I'll use a bandage ))
Yuumi: (( I've been breaking the temporal/setting wall for a while ))
Yuumi: (( shocked you just noticed ))

Reila♀ :
lord he had that much health to recover

Yuumi:
Maya: reminder: you can only heal 100% of your HP per day
Cahya: (( using a bandage doubles the rate of healing ))
Yuumi: (( oh ))
Yuumi: (( missed that ))
Yuumi: (( my b ))
Cahya: (( The reason you normally can only heal 100% is because natural healing only functions for the first 8 hour of rest per day ))
Cahya: (( and you usually only heal 1/8th per hour ))
tirkaroKujo:
But yeah, it's now a whole new day for you to seize, albiet this time you'll just have to seize it without Flora
Cahya: (( but bandages double it allowing you to heal up to...well not exactly 200% but sort of close to it ))
Cahya: (( since bandages function for 6 hours, not 8 lel ))

Cahya:

Marona:
Anyway, Marona is currently outside doing the usual morning routine, and basically keeping the place clean.

Noshizoki:
And big nose here is simply managing the water as always.
Yuumi: (( fuck I'm back ))
Cahya: (( missed your chance, man ))
Cahya: (( twilt will kill you if you take any more time ))

Yuumi:
I don't think you understand how Tirk does things.

Miyako:
Anyway, Miyako waking up to the first song tirk posted, gets up and presumedly prepares to leave as she walks down the hallway before presumedly meeting up with Reika.

Noshizoki:
I assume you're staring directly into my soul

Noshizoki:
like naruto in that vid
Cahya: (( yes ))

Miyako:
believe it

Cahya:
"Ahahya..is that a question whose answer yo uwish to seek?"

Reika:
Reika wakes up early, feeling physically better, but still emotionally drained. She summons up Oldboy and approaches the dog. "I'm sorry about yesterday..."

Yuumi:
"Sure, why not? As if I'm going to let such an obvious change pass me by..."

Yuumi:
"You'd ask if I was suddenly a redhead, wouldn't you?"

Cahya:
"Ahya! No! In what way would that impact me?"

Miyako:
Oh well then, I'll just do some self training over here. Did it change much in the new version of the book?

Cahya:
"Look and be as you will; it is none of my concern!"

Yuumi:
"Curiousity? Come on, don't yank me around! One of the Guardians said Orochimaru was taking an interest in you yesterday, are you taking a fancy to him? Does he like chicks with a lot of eyes?"

Oldboy:
Oldboy remains quiet until Reika gets closer. As soon as she gets too close, Oldboy flashes his teeth and growls.

Yuumi:
"Snakes usually have two, I think..."

Cahya:
Cahya closes her eyes and tilts her head, "Ayahh...no, it is unfortunate, but he does not...But that is to be expected! None do! It is not me he is interested in...it is my goal."

Noshizoki:
I'll just assume it works the same entirely because I can't find it for the life of me in the book

Yuumi:
"Ooh, your clansmate? Why would he care about them?"

Reika:
Reika gasps and takes a few steps backwards, "I-...I'm sorry.."
Cahya: (( Are you talking about Pokemon training? ))

Noshizoki:
yes
Cahya: (( page 202 ))
Cahya: (( 'training pokemon' ))
Cahya: (( Miyako probably has Untrained, so it's just half their level ))
Yuumi: (( whoaa that certainly sounds changed from what I remember ))
Yuumi: (( it IS ))
Cahya: (( it's MUCH simpler ))
Miyako: (( kk how many Pokemon can I train with untrained? ))
Cahya: (( and I kind of need to Train my Pokemon now. ))
Yuumi: (( it's much more favorable to a high command rank. ))
Cahya: (( it's equal to your rank ))
Cahya: (( so 2 ))
Miyako: (( ah kk thanks ))
Yuumi: (( assumedly 2. ))
Yuumi: (( you do have Untrained Command, right ))
Yuumi: (( it's equal to your Command ))

Miyako:
welp the only training feature I have is Focused so

Miyako:
yeah I do

Cahya:

Cahya:
Cahya opens the window and scales down the side of the building, her bugbuddy flying along beside her.

Reika:
Reika sighs and takes a seat a fair distance from Oldboy, "Nothing's working out like I planned..."

Miyako:
After half an hour of an intense workout, Miyako lets out a phew and says, "Well done, you two. Both of you are looking sharp." She smiles at them kindly.

Ippongi:
but unfortunately in the middle of your training and stuff, a lone, shadowy-faced swordsman waltzes up to you. "Aye.....aye.....are you aware of yourself, love?"

Yuumi:
"Oh, yeah, like you're getting away THAT easily... Aquali! Give me some water to work with!"\

Cahya:
She lowers herself off the lowest level of the roof, landing behind the inn
Tokens dropped onto map 'Yoshino Village' by player Agi (Player)

Ippongi:
"A've walked 'ere for days at a time, love, so you best be within my interests...."

Cahya:
Are you following along, kiddo

Yuumi:
yuu and mi both

Yuumi:
Yuumi manipulates the water into a knot, from which she lowers herself from the window.
Reika: (( I assume Ippongi is talking to Miyako? ))
Tokens dropped onto map 'Yoshino Village' by player Thrice (Player)

Miyako:
Miyako turns around and notices Reika. "Hmm, looks like somebody's still depressed." She says as she walks up to her.
Miyako: (( IDK lol ))

Cahya:
Cahya walks over to the edge near T H E V O I D and releases her other Pokemon, "Ahya...and now we start..."
* Agi rolls: damn it => 0
Ippongi:
Well yeah, I kinda assumed you were still indoors, but if you're not, more power to you @MT
Reika: (( Nah, I stepped outside to summon up Oldboy ))

Reika:
"Oh..good morning, Miyako." Reika turns her attention to to the mysterious figure approaching them, "Who're you?"

Miyako:
"...Can we help you?" She looks at the strange man(?).

Maya:
Maya gained 21 experience! (661) Level 23

Cayce:
Cayce gained 22 experience! (772) Level 25

Ippongi:
"Oi...bout time someone notices me..." The cloak fo the mystery figure sways in the wind. "Been doin' some huntin' business as of late. Needed to catch up with my old partner, see....aye, but I can see right into your soul, with my special abilities...."

Yuumi:
"Huh... I'd have THOUGHT I'd have noticed this kind of thing earlier..."

Ippongi:
"I can see, my next hunt just might be you, love. There's something mighty valuable a-brewin in your guts..."

Yuumi:
"Or, well, that anyone would have."

Miyako:
"...Tch, another creeper. Lets go talk somewhere else, Reika."

Maya:
The Buhdreel and Medic Ham continue to spar, interchanging attacks. The speed of Buhdreel's onslaught is something else, but it can't hope to match the Medic's sheer force of blows

Yuumi:
"Cahya, your eyes, your feet... you're not totally human, are you?"

Ippongi:
Ippongi falls over. "C-creeper? Love, I've never been so insulted in me life, I 'aven't..."

Cahya:
Some of Cahya's eyes tilt toward Yuumi, while others keep a sharp tack on her Pokemon, and still others wander, seemingly undirected, "Ahahya...what do you mean of that?"
Miyako: (( MT, you not typing anything out or...? ))

Gen:
"Hey! What the HELL is going on down here? You're getting dangerously close to my- Oh, why hello there uh....ladies, and...uh....oh man..."
Agi is disconnected.

Miyako:

Cahya: (( sign a da biyitch ))

Ippongi:

Miyako:
"...You heard me." 27 Intuition on this guy

Ippongi:
which guy

Miyako:
that guy

Miyako:
(Ippo lol)

Ippongi:
Ippongi is, well, he speaks a lot like a foreigner, and adds lots of weird foreign quirks to his japanese. He also refers to Gen as his "aniki", so they must go a while back. Also, he's still very much intending to hunt you down, going by his hunches.
Reika: (( Miyako in particular or...? ))

Miyako:
Can I silently place my sand near his feet incase I need to trip him

Gen:
"I see, I see...but are you sure this is a wise idea? Just picking off random ladies off the street? You need more dignity than that..."

Miyako:
"Hmph, so he IS a creeper."

Reika:
"So he's more of a creeper than a hunter...disappointing..."
Agi has connected.

Miyako:
Ippo really hunts girls? NO DIGNITY
Agi:
for some inexplicable reason my computer shut down
Agi:
what'd I miss

Ippongi:
Yeah, he seems to be rather distracted, and yes he was referring to Miyako. "No, no....within this woman is none other than a demon...and quite a valuable one at that. I fully intend on hunting it down...if you have the courage to take up the blade once again."
Cahya: (( if you saw Cahya's last line, then you didn't miss anything that involved you ))

I think I did

"Oooh....oh...it's like that, huh? Just so you know, I'm not a very violent man anymore. That's mostly behind me..."

Miyako:
"...I...What? On earth are you going on about?"

Reika:
"A demon within her? That seems a bit..ridiculous.."

Yuumi:
"Well, nothing personal... but come on, you have to know what I mean!"

Miyako:
"What...absolute nonsense. Reika, let's please go somewhere else to talk." Miyako turns her head to Ippo. "You, you better not follow us or you may regret it."

Ippongi:
"Trying to decieve me, huh? My eyes know a demon when I see it! But enough talk! Have at ye!" roll a perception check Miyako and Reika

Miyako:

Yuumi:
seems legit

Cahya:
"Hm...Orochimaru was one matter...he already knew! But to disclose such information to you! My, this is a turning point."
Reika: (( Oh right, mind, that should've been a 15 ))

Ippongi:
Reika notices 3 paper bombs flying above their heads, ready to detonate extremely shortly. But it seems you can easily get away if you jump out quick.

Yuumi:
"Cahya-san, if your intention was to keep it a secret, couldn't you have chosen a less obvious color?"

Reika:
"What the?! Miyako, move! Quick!" Reika shouts, noticing the paper bombs floating above them. She quickly leaps back, jumping over Oldboy instead of onto him like normal.

Cahya:
"Ahya...little one, these were all I had on hand!"

Miyako:
"Tch, I wake up to THIS...!" Miyako jumps out of the way then, making sure her Pikachu hangs on tight!

Miyako:
did we need an acro check

Ippongi:
Miyako needs to roll an acro check due to having a delayed frame of perception

Cahya:
"Ah! And with that...yes! You are likely to be targeted now, as well! I hope you are prepared to defend yourself."

Miyako:
I have HighJ: 2, and LongJ: 3 if that helps

Miyako:
19 Either way

Ippongi:
you narrowly avoid the asplosion

Miyako:
"Hmph, so that's how we're going to play it, huh..." Can I NOW trip him with the sand I planted?

Ippongi:
"Interesting..but..." and yeah, you can.
Cahya: (( Do you have something to increase your Jump values? Normally with Expert, it'd be 1/2 without a running start ))

Yuumi:
"Defend myself...? From whom?" Yuumi retracts her wall tether from practical use, and repurposes it to more traditional defense.
Miyako: (( I took the Acrobat edge ))
Cahya: (( that'd do it ))

Miyako:
I do just that then! That was just me improvising my sand skills, so I dunno what the check that would be for.

Cahya:
"Why, my clan, of course! Handing out our most guarded secrets is not regarded highly! We shall both be hunted, should they find out! And they are likely to, after last night!"

Ippongi:
Ippongi trips over. "Ow....but as I was sayin', I don't even use explosive tags..."

Reika:
"What..? So that wasn't him..?"

Gen:
"Indeed he does not!" Gen tosses another tag directly towards 1

Gen:
Miyako, acro cheeeck

Miyako:
23 "What th-?"

Yuumi:
"W-whoa, excuse me?"

Gen:
You again, narrowly avoid the explosion. "Faster than you look....that, or I just lost my lustre after all these years..."

Reika:
"What the..why are -you- attacking us?!"

Kan:
"Oooodddd...." A shiny gleam shines in the Oddish's eye.

Cahya:
"Ahah...little one, I gave you ample time to think your decision over. At your insistence, I have decided to share my secrets with you! After all, it is not as if you can partake of them. You should have known the risks!"

Miyako:
As Miyako lands, she turns to the bearded man. "Tch, what are you trying to pull here, huh? You're not telling me you actually believe his...ludicrous claims."

Yuumi:
"What, am I just supposed to say nothing, and drink to forget?! I thought it was a cute accessory, with your bug theme!"

Gen:
"I don't, no...but I'm also not one to leave my partner hanging. Whatever he believes in, I'm morally obliged to follow....besides, on the off chance you're totally innocent, consider this a healthy sparring match..."

Cahya:
"Ehyehe! Well, do you want to know still more? The amount you know will not impact their aim! It will be straight for your heart, even with simply the tidbit you now know! Whether or not you are curious enough is the only barrier left."

Miyako:
"Tch, Reika, looks like we don't have much of a choice. Are you feeling better enough from yesterday that you can fight?"
Reika whispers: I can't remember if this is how I send whispers...
You whisper to MarthTrinity: it totally is

Yuumi:
"Look, assuming you're being serious, I'm not about to lay my life on the line for someone I barely know!"

Cahya:
"Aha...and neither am I. I am only warning you! You shall be targeted, even if you were to run from here now. We may all be!"
Reika whispers: Cool, did it right. Would you mind controlling Oldboy for me in this battle. He's sort of mad at Reika over yesterday's battle, so I doubt he's going to cooperate as much as she wants him to.
You whisper to MarthTrinity: awwright

Yuumi:
"Well that's dumb! Shouldn't you be a better liar if it's some clan secret?!"

Cahya:
"But do not fret overmuch! The two most frightening of my clan...they are EX-members, little one. They do not care! And bless yourself for that! Aruna is one thing! A fearsomely fast warrior the likes of which I cannot compete with! Sanjit...all five of us would be dead before we could react!" yes she did say five

Ippongi:
"Kukuku! Now that's more like it!" With a blade in hand, Ippongi rushes towards you for the kill!....but it's not really his turn yet, so you attack first.

Reika:
"Right, I know you're upset over yesterday, but we'll discuss it later..." she whisper aside to Oldboy as she climbs on top of him.

Yuumi:
well there are five of "us" "here"

Cahya:
"Ahah...Orochimaru knew already, I believe. I think he has gone to alert my clan as it is! It was not outside my planning...but I felt I should warn the one who showed interest in me!"

Oldboy:
"(눈_눈)" Oldboy grumbles and stays put

Reika:
"Wounding Strike!" 8 on Baku Juppongi

Cahya:
"If you wish to know no more, that is fine. However...the information may help you understand those that will be attacking you."

Yuumi:
I just thought your makeup was cuuuute

Reika:
2d6+8 | 34
Reika: (( Also he takes a tick of damage in addition. ))

Tsunade:
Meanwhile, the lady from the hot spring you saw before was sort of awkwardly hiding behind the building and sipping her tea. She moves to the side, so you probably get a brief glimpse at her spying and creepin', almost as if you can hear her saying "don't mind me fam"

Ippongi:
Ippongi took 26 damage.

Ippongi:
Ippongi loses 7 hit points.

Ippongi:
"Blargh!" Ippongi gets cut open from that wounding strike, and slides along the ground. "C-clever girl..."

"You're giving up on your partner already..?"

"Oh, hey! Everyone else is here too! Small world, it seems like..."

Gen:
"Well, it honestly depends...he should be here right...about..."

Ippongi:
"aaaaaAAAAAAHAAHOOOEEEEY....!" And then Ippongi crashes like a meteor onto the ground, his body smoldering like a crater.

Gen:
"So what's you're take on it, huh?"

Cahya:
"Ohya? Ah! Then I should indeed quiet down! Listen, little one...tell nary a soul of what you know! I do not want the others to know."

Ippongi:
"Random acts of violence are bad..."

Gen:
"Good idea! Better idea in fact, since I'm woefully outnumbered here..."

Kan:
"Odd...." Kan is a little disappointed...

Yuumi:
"Alright, fair enough...." Yuumi is hardly enthralled by having brought the wrath of an ENTIRE CLAN upon herself

Miyako:
"Tch, maybe next time you should think about creeping up on people like that..."

Ippongi:
Ippongi tries to stretch up. "A-all right then! Even though I still sense a hint of demon within thee..."

Tsunade:
"So what ARE you doing here anyway?"

"Hmm? Oh, you're the girl from the hotsprings."

Miyako:
Umm hate to be that guy, but holy shit I just realized what time it is, and I should head to sleep soon
