Pokemaids XVI

[22:29]	<GMOwen>	VOICEOVER: They are searching… searching, far and wide. For adventure. Justice. Victory. Food. And a some lot more.
[22:29]	<GMOwen>	VOICEOVER: The girls arrive on the outskirts of Vermilion City as the sun begins to set over the bay. Sara, as their ever-helpful liaison, has gone ahead into the city to locate Iris and Cole, and a way of meeting them. They lounge by a semi-sandy-semi-rocky beach. Twilight approaches…
[22:33]	* [Owen]Marina	is spectacularly failing at skipping rocks.
[22:33]	* [Owen]Marina	does not realize you can't skip rocks on water with a tide.
[22:34]	<[Owen]Marina>	"One! That beats my record! Of one!"
[22:34]	* MissD	sighs as they sun makes her tired and decide to reside in the shade.
[22:35]	* [par]Mara	is sitting under the tree, resting. The past few days have been so crazy compared to the ranch
[22:35]	* [Zem]Aleurna	has climbed to the top of the highest rock on the beach, and stands dramatically silhouetted in the sunset!
[22:35]	* [Zem]Aleurna	raises a fist and yells in triumph! "Huzzah!"
[22:36]	* [Owen]Marina	looks up at Aleurna. She follows suit back.
[22:36]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	"From here, I have the best view on the beach! I would have to climb to the top of that old mansion to get a better view!"
[22:36]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Represent!"
[22:38]	* [Owen]Marina	calls her rock skipping good. She goes over to MissD.
[22:39]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Beauty sleep~?"
[22:42]	<MissD>	I"m not sleeping though....
[22:42]	<[par]Mara>	"Me neithah."
[22:42]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Oh? Does that mean you're not beautiful, neither?"
[22:42]	* [Owen]Marina	puts her hands to her hips.
[22:43]	* [par]Mara	sulks
[22:43]	<[par]Mara>	"Guess not..."
[22:43]	* [Zem]Aleurna	scrambles back down and heads to the rest of the group.
[22:44]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	"I spy no danger, and as you know, I have excellent eyesight."
[22:45]	* MissD	frowns.
[22:45]	<MissD>	I-I am!
[22:45]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	"Each of us has our own unique beauty, Mara! Though you are no wilting lily, you are still like a hearty sunflower!"
[22:45]	* MissD	is taken back from being not called beautiful!
[22:45]	* [999]Faraday	swoops out of a nearby tree and snatches a rock, tossing it at Marina's head before taking cover in another tree.
[22:46]	* [Owen]Marina	is doinked!
[22:46]	* [999]Faraday	snickers.
[22:46]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Ow...?"
[22:46]	* [Owen]Marina	ignores the doink for about five seconds before actually looking around. Nope. Absolutely nothing is suspicious.
[22:48]	* [Owen]Marina	goes back to talking about beauty.
[22:48]	* [Owen]Marina	thinks...
[22:48]	* [Owen]Marina	takes her COOL SHADES off and puts them on Mara instead.
[22:49]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Hah, just look at how awesomely beautiful you are now!"
[22:49]	* MissD	sighs...
[22:50]	* [Owen]Marina	is all :T at such a sigh!
[22:50]	<MissD>	J-just go Marina...
[22:50]	<MissD>	Never thought i needed some time alone...
[22:50]	* [Zem]Aleurna	laughs a hearty laugh. "You most certainly are eye-catching now! But now is not the time to rest! Now is the time to find that rock-throwing troublemaker."
[22:50]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Ehh? Go?"
[22:51]	* [999]Faraday	swoops down and decks Marina in the noggin once more, again taking cover in a nearby tree.
[22:52]	* [999]Faraday	is just a little annoyed at the Blastoise's indifference so far.
[22:52]	* [Owen]Marina	rubs her skull again.
[22:53]	<[Owen]Marina>	"All right, Missy; I'ma 'go' look for all those flying rocks. I mean, seriously..."
[22:53]	* [Zem]Aleurna	's eyes glow golden as she scans the area. Leaves and branches are only a mild hindrance now.
[22:55]	* MissD	sighs then goes up to Marina and giving her a lick as a gesture of affection.
[22:55]	<MissD>	There~
[22:55]	* [Zem]Aleurna	frowns, and waits. Her fur stands on end as she stands like a sentinel.
[22:55]	* [Owen]Marina	smiles and kisses MissD on the cheek.
[22:56]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Get some rest, hon~"
[22:57]	* [999]Faraday	shoots a quick succession of three branches at Marina's head.
[22:57]	<[999]Faraday>	{Geez, what does a girl gotta do to annoy someone...?}
[22:58]	* [Owen]Marina	is under attack! She reacts in time to grab the third branch, but can't find the perpetrator.
[22:58]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Oho! I've got it!"
[22:58]	* [Owen]Marina	waves the branch around.
[22:59]	* [999]Faraday	's eyes widen.
[22:59]	<[Owen]Marina>	"What now, spook?!"
[22:59]	* Sara`	teleports from far away, winding up near, but not among the group.
[22:59]	* [Owen]Marina	can't see a bloody thing in those trees.
[22:59]	* [999]Faraday	stealthily climbs further up the tree, taking care not to disturb a single branch
[23:00]	<[999]Faraday>	Let's see how ya like this...!
[23:01]	* Sara`	takes a deep breath and starts to walk towards everyone.
[23:01]	* [999]Faraday	launches a pinecone high-speed at Marina's noggin, accidentally shaking the tree around her
[23:02]	* MissD	sits down and resumes her daydreaming.
[23:02]	* Sara`	's face bears a frown. She plucks a rock off of the shore with telekinesis, and throws it into the sea.
[23:02]	* [Owen]Marina	ignores the pinecone and sees what may in fact be a spook!
[23:03]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Ohoho! What's this~?"
[23:03]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	"If you seek a fight, then fight me, you craven cur!"
[23:03]	* [Owen]Marina	holds out a hand in front of Aleurna.
[23:03]	<[Owen]Marina>	"They hit me first, Ale! Let me take 'em!"
[23:04]	<[999]Faraday>	Haha! Took ya long enough, ya dumb turtle!
[23:04]	* Sara`	walks up to MissD, first. She sits down next to her.
[23:04]	<Sara`>	So, what's the ruckus this time?
[23:04]	* [Owen]Marina	points into the tree energetically.
[23:04]	<Sara`>	Is there someone new here...?
[23:05]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Dumb is only as dumb as you make it, Miss Spook!"
[23:05]	<[Owen]Marina>	"It'll take more than that to scare a vet like me!"
[23:05]	<[999]Faraday>	A vet? Bwahaha!
[23:05]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Laugh at me, will you~?"
[23:06]	* [999]Faraday	is still in the tree, only moving her mouth at the moment
[23:06]	* [Owen]Marina	is disappoint, girl!
[23:06]	* MissD	thinks about it for a moment..
[23:06]	<MissD>	Ah!..yes~
[23:06]	<MissD>	I shall proceed to licking you now~
[23:08]	<Sara`>	Wha? Agh, not now...
[23:08]	* Sara`	is not having the best day.
[23:08]	* [Owen]Marina	sprays a heavy mist of water into the tree.
[23:08]	* [999]Faraday	shoots a thunderbolt though the water stream!
[23:09]	* [Owen]Marina	can't possibly miss the tree with MIST! When suddenly, lightning!
[23:09]	* MissD	giggles.
[23:09]	<MissD>	Anyway..
[23:09]	<MissD>	They were looking for someone who was throwing rocks at us...
[23:10]	<Sara`>	And they found someone?
[23:10]	<Sara`>	amiable?
[23:11]	* [Owen]Marina	is thrown back! No! The spook knows Thunderbolt! The horror!
[23:11]	* [999]Faraday	falls out of the tree and lands on her butt. Hard.
[23:12]	* [Owen]Marina	is on her back, wobbling around on her shell.
[23:12]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Nngh, damn... woo, ouch."
[23:12]	* [999]Faraday	jumps up, holding her rear and yelping.
[23:12]	<[999]Faraday>	Owowowow!! Aargh, yer gonna pay for that!
[23:13]	<MissD>	I'm not too sure.. but at least they're not dead yet so.. they'll be -just- fine~
[23:13]	<Sara`>	Well, that's good...
[23:13]	* [Owen]Marina	tries to get to her feet. Man is she dizzy...
[23:13]	* [999]Faraday	calms down and takes a battle stance, fists clenched in front of her.
[23:13]	* Sara`	leans forward and rests her head on her hands.
[23:13]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Whah, if I wasn't old I'd be too old for this, nnnmmmggg..."
[23:14]	* [Owen]Marina	shakes her head and gets back in the game. Where's her opponent!
[23:14]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Hoh, there you--!"
[23:14]	* [Owen]Marina	stops and looks.
[23:14]	* [999]Faraday	grins and waits for Marina to move.
[23:14]	* [Owen]Marina	is all /:|
[23:15]	* [999]Faraday	is notably smaller than her opponent.
[23:15]	* [Owen]Marina	sort of points a swiveling finger at her.
[23:15]	<[Owen]Marina>	"You're... poofy."
[23:15]	<[999]Faraday>	...
[23:15]	<[999]Faraday>	W-well, you're bulky!
[23:15]	* [999]Faraday	stamps her feet.
[23:16]	<[Owen]Marina>	"It's a balloon. A goddamn purple balloon with clouds on her head!"
[23:16]	* [999]Faraday	's face turns bright red.
[23:16]	* [Owen]Marina	doesn't know what to make of this. She's never seen a Pokemon like this...
[23:16]	<[999]Faraday>	Hey, I'm tougher than I look!
[23:16]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	"Well, now you seem far less menacing and far more comical."
[23:17]	<[999]Faraday>	Just shut up and move! Move you big fat turtle girl!
[23:18]	* [999]Faraday	looks mighty ticked.
[23:18]	* [Owen]Marina	is NOT fat. She's quite shapely, actually, but noooo, everyone's gotta be 36-24-36 these days!
[23:19]	<MissD>	What do you make out of this Sara?.. for once I feel like being sensible..
[23:19]	<Sara`>	Agreed.
[23:19]	* Sara`	stands up and approaches the scuffle.
[23:19]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Hey now, you're just a kid, girl. I can't fight you."
[23:19]	<[999]Faraday>	A kid that just knocked you on your ass! Come on, I can take you!
[23:19]	* [Owen]Marina	thinks about it.
[23:19]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Well... no, you can't. But that ain't the point."
[23:20]	* [Owen]Marina	thumbs to her chest.
[23:20]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Name's Marina. Need somethin'?"
[23:20]	* Sara`	folds her arms and gives the newcomer a good hard look.
[23:21]	* [999]Faraday	stops for a moment, then huffs.
[23:21]	<[999]Faraday>	Faraday.
[23:21]	* [999]Faraday	points at Marina and does a "come get me" gesture as an answer.
[23:22]	* [Owen]Marina	nods, but isn't goaded.
[23:22]	* Sara`	continues looking on.
[23:22]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Nice name. Haven't seen your kind before. You from across the sea? They got lots-a neat folk over there."
[23:23]	* [999]Faraday	grumbles.
[23:23]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	"Greetings, Faraday! I am Aleurna. If you stick with us, I will show you how to fight honorably and skillfully."
[23:23]	<[999]Faraday>	Shut it!
[23:23]	* [999]Faraday	barks at Aleurna.
[23:24]	* MissD	prods Sara and then leans onto her.
[23:24]	* [Owen]Marina	smirks, and taps a palm downwards at Ale.
[23:24]	<[Owen]Marina>	"I've got this, I've got this. Go talk to Sara some, eh?"
[23:25]	<Sara`>	If you say so, then.
[23:25]	* Sara`	steps back, leaving this to Marina.
[23:26]	* Sara`	introduces herself before separating, however.
[23:26]	<Sara`>	My name is Sara. Nice to meet you, I suppose.
[23:26]	* [999]Faraday	spits.
[23:27]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	"Very well. You have a reprieve from my attentions. Lead on, Sara!"
[23:28]	* Sara`	sighs.
[23:29]	<Sara`>	Unfortunately, there's not much to tell...
[23:29]	<Sara`>	I couldn't get tickets.
[23:29]	* Sara`	frowns again.
[23:29]	<[999]Faraday>	So, what's your deal, ninja turtle?
[23:29]	<[999]Faraday>	You and your little gang here marching around like ya own the place or something?
[23:30]	* [Owen]Marina	shrugs.Is there something in our teeth?"
[23:30]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Sounds like you're doing that plenty yourself, kid."
[23:31]	<[999]Faraday>	I live 'round here, and you all just walk in like this place's your turf! It pisses me off!
[23:31]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	"You couldn't? That is entirely unfair. Is our money not as green as everyone else's? Do we smell bad?
[23:31]	* Sara`	's voice is flat.
[23:31]	<Sara`>	You're right. It's unfair.
[23:32]	* [Owen]Marina	holds an arm out at the beach.
[23:32]	<[Owen]Marina>	"It's a beach, come on. No one don't own any beach. We're just here for the night."
[23:32]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Turf? Don't be like THEM."
[23:33]	* [999]Faraday	falters for a second, and asks shakily-
[23:33]	<[999]Faraday>	Them?
[23:33]	* [Owen]Marina	shakes her head and looks at Faraday in the eyes. She is very direct.
[23:33]	<[Owen]Marina>	"THEM."
[23:33]	* [Owen]Marina	sees how she'll react.
[23:34]	* [999]Faraday	keeps a tough face on.
[23:34]	<[999]Faraday>	I don't care who does what, so long as they keep away!
[23:35]	* [Owen]Marina	takes a step or two closer, palms outward and below her waist, trying to appear non-combatant.
[23:36]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Hey, hey, chill. Take it easy, girl~ Sounds like you're quite the toughie. S'cool, s'cool."
[23:36]	* Sara`	looks over once more, her thoughts following Marina's.
[23:36]	* MissD	sighs at this madness...
[23:37]	* [999]Faraday	keeps her fists up, watching Marina's every move.
[23:37]	* [Owen]Marina	knows the type, even if she doesn't know HER particularly.
[23:37]	<[Owen]Marina>	"You wanna talk about it?"
[23:38]	<[999]Faraday>	Talk's cheap!
[23:38]	* [999]Faraday	brushes a hand against her nose.
[23:38]	* [Owen]Marina	folds her hands across her chest.
[23:38]	<MissD>	Everything is cheap now a days if you think about it....
[23:39]	* MissD	is mostly talking to herself.
[23:39]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Fightin's cheaper, kid. Trust me; I know."
[23:39]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Anybody 'ken fight."
[23:39]	<[999]Faraday>	My whole life's fighting! I lost my eye fighting! You saying my life's cheap!?
[23:40]	* [Owen]Marina	seems to have gotten a nerve struck. Her eye twitches.
[23:40]	* Sara`	pipes in.
[23:40]	<Sara`>	Humans seem to make many things cheap...
[23:40]	* [999]Faraday	glares at Sara.
[23:40]	<[999]Faraday>	You look enough like them, Missy Green!
[23:41]	* Sara`	's opinion of "Faraday" just sunk a bit lower. o O ( I am not human, even if... )
[23:42]	* [Owen]Marina	glares back at Faraday.
[23:43]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Hey. Don't talk to her. Me. You look at me, kid."
[23:43]	* [999]Faraday	grins.
[23:43]	<[999]Faraday>	Struck a chord?
[23:43]	* [Owen]Marina	taps her heart.
[23:44]	<[Owen]Marina>	"I lost my HUSBAND fighting, girl. You wanna rephrase that bullshit?"
[23:44]	* [Zem]Aleurna	is shocked at Marina's admission, but wisely says nothing.
[23:44]	* [999]Faraday	stays still for a moment.
[23:44]	<[999]Faraday>	...I don't carry my heart on my sleeve, unlike som'a us.
[23:45]	* [Owen]Marina	points to the patch over her eye.
[23:46]	<[Owen]Marina>	"We all carry SOMETHING, kid. Some of us more than the rest."
[23:46]	* [999]Faraday	grunts.
[23:46]	<[999]Faraday>	So what?
[23:46]	* [Owen]Marina	thumbs to the girls behind her.
[23:47]	<[Owen]Marina>	"We're together 'cause we ain't got nowhere better to be, and no human's gonna give us better than what we've got."
[23:48]	<[Owen]Marina>	"We all got our reasons."
[23:48]	* [999]Faraday	looks upset.
[23:48]	<[999]Faraday>	Can we just fight already? I didn't come here for no patty-cake life lessons bullshit.
[23:48]	* [Owen]Marina	grits her teeth.
[23:49]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Ain't gonna prove nothing..."
[23:49]	<MissD>	Life huh... be glad you're all still alive you fools...
[23:49]	* Sara`	stares at Faraday.
[23:49]	<Sara`>	Tell me. Why do you want to fight?
[23:49]	<[999]Faraday>	Who cares about proving anything? Like I was sayin', I want you off my turf!
[23:49]	* [999]Faraday	ignores Sara.
[23:50]	<Sara`>	Why is it "yours"? Did you "buy" it?
[23:50]	* Sara`	's latent contempt begins to drip out. She mentally prepares to move.
[23:54]	* [Owen]Marina	shakes her head, and with practiced tactics suddenly strides forwards and swings a powerful roundhouse with an ICE PUNCH!
[23:54]	* [999]Faraday	tries to dodge but takes the blow, getting the wind knocked outta her.
[23:55]	* [Zem]Aleurna	watches closely. They each have no type advantage over each other, it seems, so it all relies on who is stronger.
[23:55]	<MissD>	And here we go~
[23:56]	* Sara`	remains silent, glowering. o O ( If this "Farad" wins, victory won't live long... )
[23:57]	* [999]Faraday	tries to hit Marina with a Charge Beam, but somehow completely screws up.
[23:58]	* [Owen]Marina	must have absorbed the shot on her shell or something. She doesn't feel any pain from it at least.
[23:58]	<[999]Faraday>	Ghh...!
[23:58]	<[Owen]Marina>	"You wanted this, kid! You wanna stop, jus' say so!"
[23:59]	* [Zem]Aleurna	slips next to Sara.
[23:59]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	"Do not worry! Marina has victory in the palm of her icy hand!"
[23:59]	<[999]Faraday>	You...
[23:59]	<[999]Faraday>	I don't back outta fights! Even if I lose, at least I don't punk out!
[23:59]	* [Owen]Marina	nods.
[23:59]	<[Owen]Marina>	"That's the spirit I like ta' see!"
[00:00]	* [999]Faraday	is obviously worse for wear, but still determined to scrap.
[00:00]	* Sara`	responds by whispering her thoughts aloud.
[00:00]	<Sara`>	I... could really use a break from all this...
[00:01]	<MissD>	Over heeeeerrreee Sara~!
[00:01]	* MissD	waves at her.
[00:02]	* [Owen]Marina	blasts out a torrent of water from her cannons. At this range it's hard to miss.
[00:02]	* [999]Faraday	has a delayed reaction, and takes the hard blast of Marina's large metal pillars.
[00:03]	* [999]Faraday	staggers backwards dizzily.
[00:03]	<[999]Faraday>	Wh... Water? Ya seriously used a water attack...?
[00:04]	* [Owen]Marina	wipes the spray away from her eyes. Sunglasses would have prevented that...
[00:04]	<[Owen]Marina>	"It's what I am, kid."
[00:05]	<[999]Faraday>	...
[00:05]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Can't aim for shit, though. Have to shoot point blank or I'm useless~"
[00:05]	<[999]Faraday>	Hehh...
[00:06]	<[999]Faraday>	I'm not half as nice as you, though...
[00:09]	* [999]Faraday	's eyes spark red as her shadow links to Marina's.
[00:09]	* Sara`	glances towards MissD.
[00:09]	* Sara`	waves back, then resumes looking at the combatants.
[00:09]	* [Owen]Marina	feels... something. In her heart. This...?
[00:10]	* [999]Faraday	wipes her nose again.
[00:10]	<[999]Faraday>	Heheh, sorry! Can't pass up on a good trick!
[00:11]	* [Owen]Marina	rubs her temple. Destiny Bond... really?
[00:12]	* [Owen]Marina	crouches down to eye level next to this little hellion balloon.
[00:12]	<[Owen]Marina>	"I ain't dumb, kid."
[00:12]	* [Owen]Marina	playfully pokes Faraday on the nose.
[00:13]	* Sara`	sighs, thankful that apparently this won't end in explosions...
[00:13]	* [999]Faraday	gives Marina a shit-eating grin.
[00:13]	<[999]Faraday>	Cheap though, I know.
[00:14]	* [Owen]Marina	shakes her head.
[00:15]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Nah... Jus' dumb. Dumb when it's jus' you, that is."
[00:15]	<[999]Faraday>	Haha, never said I was a smart kid!
[00:16]	<[999]Faraday>	You knocked the crap outta me though, I gotta admit.
[00:16]	* Sara`	, seeing the situation defused, goes over to MissD. o O ( That's probably why she was waving... )
[00:18]	<MissD>	That was fun~
[00:18]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	"Excellent news. Now, where were we before we met Miss Faraday here?"
[00:21]	* Sara`	takes a deep breath.
[00:21]	<Sara`>	I guess.
[00:22]	* [Owen]Marina	nods.
[00:22]	<[Owen]Marina>	"I've been around, kid. I know a few things."
[00:22]	<[Owen]Marina>	"You really to cut this crap out, then?"
[00:23]	* [999]Faraday	thinks.
[00:23]	<[999]Faraday>	...You shot some water at me last, didn't you...?
[00:23]	* [Owen]Marina	smirks and shakes her head.
[00:23]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Ahh, you little cheater~"
[00:23]	<[999]Faraday>	Kihihihi~
[00:24]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	"I was about to find some food, and I could easily find enough to feed one more."
[00:24]	* Sara`	flops back, lying down on the ground.
[00:24]	* MissD	snuggles next to Sara.
[00:24]	* Sara`	glances at her, but doesn't shrug away. Contact is nice, sometimes.
[00:25]	<[Owen]Marina>	"I'm tryin' ta be nice to you, kid."
[00:25]	<[Owen]Marina>	"But I'll kick your ass just the same."
[00:25]	<[999]Faraday>	So long as you don't go easy!
[00:27]	* Sara`	remains silent and just looks up at the sky.
[00:28]	* [Owen]Marina	rolls her eyes. She's still not finished?
[00:29]	* [999]Faraday	suddenly jumps back, launching a Shadow Ball at her foe in the process.
[00:29]	<MissD>	Talking about killin each other.. silly people~
[00:30]	* [Owen]Marina	is in point-blank range! The darkness... the painful, darkness...
[00:30]	<[999]Faraday>	BAM!
[00:31]	* [Owen]Marina	collapses to the ground, trying to blink the shadows from her eyes.
[00:31]	<MissD>	...
[00:31]	<MissD>	Oh?
[00:31]	<[Owen]Marina>	"You..."
[00:31]	<MissD>	Developement?
[00:31]	* [999]Faraday	finds her ground a little further away, waiting for Marina to make another move.
[00:31]	* MissD	looks over.
[00:31]	* [Owen]Marina	shakes her head, crawling on all fours.
[00:31]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Damn it..."
[00:31]	* Sara`	looks over as well.
[00:32]	<[Owen]Marina>	"Don't go easy... ehh...?"
[00:32]	<[999]Faraday>	You look halfway beat! That's better then you thought I'd do, right? Huh?
[00:35]	<Sara`>	I guess the newcomer's more on guile than fight...
[00:35]	* Sara`	lies back down. Marina will be fine, and fights are just one on one. She wouldn't want someone interjecting.
[00:36]	* [Owen]Marina	grabs at the sandy ground. Bracing... Have to get a good bracing...
[00:36]	* [999]Faraday	watches what Marina's doing, smiling a stupid, nervous smile while bouncing on her feet like a boxer.
[00:37]	* [Owen]Marina	gets her feet into a good position. Solid foundation... you have to make sure you won't move...
[00:38]	* [999]Faraday	continues jumping on her feet, at this point entirely baffled.
[00:39]	* [Owen]Marina	stretches. If you watch, you can see her cannons extend out more than usual.
[00:40]	<[Zem]Aleurna>	"Oooh, this will be good!"
[00:40]	* [999]Faraday	stops jumping and looks at Aleurna.
[00:41]	<[999]Faraday>	What'll--?
[00:41]	* [Owen]Marina	looks at the violet girly-girl for a few seconds, talking to her calmly.
[00:42]	<[Owen]Marina>	"This'll, kid... THIS'LL."
[00:43]	* [Owen]Marina	...uses... HYDRO, CANNON.
[00:43]	* [999]Faraday	barely turns her head before being shot back into the woods with the blast.
[00:45]	* [Owen]Marina	is STILL blasted backwards into the water despite her preparations, leaving a groove in the sand as she clutches the ground for dear life.
[00:48]	<GMOwen>	[The Hydro Cannon rockets with as much force as any sort of Hyper Beam does, uprooting trees in its wake and scouring the ground in front of it.]
[00:48]	<GMOwen>	[Too much overkill...]
