	Blondelle Champagne: 	thankies~
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Anyway. CONFIRM!
It has been eight years since Husks were last seen anywhere in the world. An event that resulted in massive landscape changes across Kanto and a drop in population. Our eyes set down into a small settlement known as Fairview. A singular police force governed location with a generic set of laws, "Trouble, don't start it. Don't be it.". We focus in on a small cast, four women just entering the small town.
Kaorin Sakura: (( I'll give a signal to start. ))
	Blondelle Champagne: 	(( Was that the signal? ))
DNA: 	no
The small town is centered around a large fountain. To the north lies the shops and to the south lie the residentials. East and west are the gates to town. The shops are: The Ashen Steel, The Spur Garden, The Platinum & Cats and a tavern called Mug Orchards.
Standing in the center of town is a single officer carefully watching the surroundings, standing at 5'10". They are heavily armoured and carrying a person-sized hammer sheathed underneath a small shield and wearing a longsword at her hip. Beneath their helmet is a pair of dark red eyes.
The officer turns to your direction as you enter the town from the east gate.
Kaorin Sakura: (( You may begin. ))
DNA: 	(No actual map of Fairview? The introduction here is our only visual, I assume)
Kaorin Sakura: (( Yeah, we're not doing maps aside from combat. ))
Avara: 	as was said before, we're using maps for battles but otherwise we're not
Avara: 	should we impersonate face tokens or sprites?
Kaorin Sakura: (( Up to you guys. ))
DNA: 	Ah! Okay, I must have forgotten that bit.
	Chloe: 	Seconds after entering town Chloe found a place to rest. She made her way toward and plopped herself on the edge of the town’s center fountain with a hum filled with whimsy. Chloe opened a small pokeball toolbox, letting it perch upon her lap. She hadn't been in the town for more than a few minutes but Chloe welcomed the apparent safety of nearby humans. Tilting her head side to side Chloe examined the green apricorn in her hand, examining it for faults, "Hm~ Nope! This one will be perfect I know it!" She set the box to her side and began to examine through her tools, first pulling out the carving knife to make the first incisions.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	The one with the brown beret didn't say a word as she sauntered into Fairview, her footsteps as silent as the breeze. She couldn't remember how long she'd been walking, but it had been a pretty long time. Another village here was just another sight to her, another stopover on her journey to nowhere in particular. She was tired from all the walking, so she scanned the area for some place in the shade - a large tree would be optimal - and sat there, quietly.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle walked alongside Chloe, clearly a standout beauty with dazzling violet eyes. The young woman curiously looked at the green apricorn in Chloe's hand and gave the other woman a smile. "What is that, Chloe?" she asked. Presumably the pair had met on their way to Fairview.
	Rochette: 	Rochette approached the town with her hands in her pockets and her pack on her back, enjoying the peaceful feeling that the walk down the route gave. She hadn't had trouble with wild pokemon in a while, and today she was hoping to pick up the starter she'd ordered. Well... that and find opportunities to make more money. She was running low there, but she'd spent her savings on preparing for this journey to begin with. Once she got to the town gate, she bowed to the officer in greeting and acknowledgement, hopping to convey that she doesn't mean any trouble at all.
	Chloe: 	Chloe tensed a second as Blondelle questioned her. The two had met only a few hours previous, but Chloe still found the unexpected conversation startling at times. "A-ah! An apricorn ball..." She looked at the apricorn in her hand, "I had to sneak my way here, not having any pokemon... I forgot to make some before I left Cerulean!" Chloe laughed sheepishly.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle guffawed. "Haw haw haw~ well, I am lucky, my father~ got me my first pokemon."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Hey!" Blondelle noticed the cop looking at her and snapped her head that way. "Nyah~" she stuck her tongue out.
	Chloe: 	"Oh?" Chloe smiled, but didn't turn her attention away from her work, "What pokemon is it?"
	Rochette: 	((NOTE: IGNORE PREVIOUS ROCHETTE POST. REWRITING.))
The officer narrows her eyes in Blondelle's direction, "Are you going to be a problem?"
	Rochette: 	Rochette approached the town with her hands in her pockets and her pack on her back, enjoying the peaceful feeling that the walk down the route gave. She hadn't had trouble with wild pokemon in a while, especially with her starter's help, and she'd come here to look for a chance to make some money. She was running low there, but she'd spent her savings on preparing for this journey to begin with. Once she got to the town gate, she bowed to the officer in greeting and acknowledgement, hopping to convey that she doesn't mean any trouble at all.
	Chloe: 	Chloe's head sunk to her shoulders, a strained smile toward Blondelle, "P-please don't cause any trouble..."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"It's okay Chloe!" Blondelle said loudly. "I just don't PERVY cops."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	like*
	Saturn Rosewell: 	She took a deep breath, eager to rest her feet. She quietly murmured to herself something, but it was unintelligible due to how soft her voice was - so a whisper would be essentially inaudible. But it seemed like she was talking to or about somebody.
	Chloe: 	Chloe turns back to her work, trying to tune out Blondelle.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle then begins talking to Chloe without really concerning herself that her new friend wasn't listening: topics like boys, cute pokemon, and pretty clothes and belts were discussed at great length.
The officer bowed briefly to Rochette before turning back to Blondelle.
	Prudence Prewitt: 	"I am Prudence. The strongarm of Fairview. And you obviously are from a city, judging by the idiocy bleeding from your flaps."
	Prudence Prewitt: 	"You will behave or I will forcibly exile you from Fairview."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"My flaps? Lady, I am not even on my period..."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle gives the lady a mean look.
	Rochette: 	Rochette distanced herself from the pinkette quickly.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Of course, Blondelle is not at all intimidating in the slightest.
* Prudence Prewitt clenches her fist.
	Chloe: 	Chloe looked up to Prudence, "I am Chloe Blanchett, I am from the city. It's nice to meet you, I don't want to cause any trouble." Chloe bowed in her seet toward Prudence.
DNA: 	I am mentally taking notes for when Jack is absent and I have to mimic his character. This is going to be painful.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Intimidation roll:
* Blondelle Champagne rolls: 1d6+0 => 4 + 0 = 4
Prudence Prewitt: (( Lol, whispers don't do rolls. ))
* Prudence Prewitt is unphased.
DNA: 	(I think it's spelt unfazed, but I could be wrong! I'll check)
* Prudence Prewitt decks Blondelle square across her jaw.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Suddenly, Blondelle yelps in pain!
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Oof!
DNA: 	(Yep, it's unfazed)
	Blondelle Champagne: 	The beautiful girl is slogged right in the flaps.
	Prudence Prewitt: 	"Behave city-girl. Anymore from you and you won't be stepping back into this place."
Prudence Prewitt: (( Subtract your defense from the damage ))
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle gets up from her crumpled position, eyes full of tears. Baby-Doll Eyes!
Chloe: 	Chole jumps and yelps, dropping the apricorn and clutching her hand, "Owowowow... I cut myself..." She winced and covered the cut on her palm with her other hand.
Prudence Prewitt: (( That has an AC 2 ))
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"I am ~ sniffle ~ sorry ~"
* Blondelle Champagne rolls: 1d20 => 9
	Rochette: 	"Rochette Higsby, my house is on the road here from Cerulean." Rochette owed to Chloe as well, trying to ignore the pink-haired girl's... shenanigans, for lack of a better term. Hearing Chloe's yelp, she approaches. "Are you alright?"
	Prudence Prewitt: 	"The warning stays, city-girl."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	The sound of the solid punch from the police officer could be heard a fair ways off, even for someone like Saturn who wasn't paying attention. Her eyes briefly moved in that direction, but returned to a lazy resting gaze a split second later, after she realized it wasn't a big deal.
Prudence Prewitt: (( Luckily no injury came from that. ))
	Chloe: 	Chloe looked up to Rochette, "Oh? I'm fine, thank you." Chloe looked worriedly to Blondelle before turning back to Rochette, "We met on the road! I think her name was Blondie but that's as far as I know her!"
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle stood back up, moving back to Chloe and hiding behind the taller girl. "Can you believe I got hit? That's NEVER happened to me before..." she sniffled, then turned to Rochette, wondering who that was.
	Rochette: 	"She's warning the pink girl, not you. You didn't do anything."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"No! My name is Blondelle!"
	Chloe: 	Chloe looked back to Prudence, somewhat assured but still nervious at everything.
* Prudence Prewitt returns to surveying the area, her arms crossed.
	Rochette: 	Rochette approached Prudence. "So... do you know of anything in town a roaming trainer just starting out might be able to help with?"
Prudence Prewitt: 	"I don't keep track of that gossip. Go to the tavern is you're looking for rumors."
	Rochette: 	"Alright, thanks for the tip." Rochette looks around and starts walking towards the tavern, or where she thinks it might be if she doesn't see it already.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle however, rubbing her flappers after that punch, looks for any sign of somebody that doesn't look violent and terrifying.
Prudence Prewitt: (( The tavern is in sight from the town center ))
	Rochette: 	((thank you. that'd be where to go then. the center, then the tavern))
	Chloe: 	Chloe decides to follow, gathering her scattered toolkit. She might as well have someplace less intimidating to do her work. She made her way to the tavern, entering and seating herself if it is such an establishment. She sets out her toolkit a second time and gets to work.
Prudence Prewitt: (( You were at the center. >_> ))
	Rochette: 	((... we were at the gate. unless the gate is at the center.))
DNA: 	I think you were at the fountain?
Prudence Prewitt: (( If you spoke to the officer, who was at the center, you were at the center. ))
	Blondelle Champagne: 	(yes, the fountain)
	Chloe: 	(( Chloe ran to the fountain, that's where action happened))
	Rochette: 	((thought you said the officer saw us as we came in. ah well, whatever))
Prudence Prewitt: (( ...She did see you. ))
Prudence Prewitt: (( I never said she moved. ))
	Blondelle Champagne: 	(it's a small town, maybe? the center and fountain are in looking distance?)
DNA: 	I think Fairview is just a small enough place that newcomers are easy enough to notice. Minor point, though! No big deal.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle looks for other people to annoy!
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Perception:
	Chloe: 	((Chloe saw the fountain and thought "sitting location!" and went there. Then two of you followed, if you spoke with her. Blondelle may or may not have been punched into the fountain))
* Blondelle Champagne rolls: 3d6+2 => 11 + 2 = 13
Prudence Prewitt: (( What's the perception for? ))
DNA: 	Finding othe rpeople to annoy, I assume.
The tavern, titled Mug Orchards, is between two other shops. The doors appear to be unlocked.
	Rochette: 	Rochette opens the door and looks in. Then she checks to see if Blondelle is following her or not. If not, she goes in. If so, she steps away from the door.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	No, Blondelle is sticking with Chloe for now. She does look at a man and woman tending a garden nearby, though.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Wow!" she says, forgetting her battle wound for a moment. "Gardens in small towns are really pretty!"
	Blondelle Champagne: 	She indicates the garden for Chloe.
Mug Orchards is a small tavern. There's four tables with seating and a bar where a woman stands, preparing drinks. The tavern is otherwise empty.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"We only had a small pot plant back home," Blondelle explains, nodding emphatically.
	Chloe: 	Chloe glances toward the talk of a garden. Perception 10
	Rochette: 	Rochette walks in and approaches the bartender, not seeing anyone else. "I was told to ask here. Is there anything a starting pokemon trainer might be able to help with?"
	Chloe: 	Chloe noticed the gardens, and gave a friendly wave to the gardeners. She smiled, wondering if she should go speak with them. For now, she decided, she should continue focusing on her ballcraft.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle waves along with Chloe - but way more energetically. "Hello!" she calls. "Your garden is really, really awesome!"
The man and woman wave back at Chloe and Blondelle after a moment.
	Gloria Dance: 	"Oh, a new Trainer are you? I'm Gloria, pleased to meetcha."
	Gloria Dance: 	"There's a message board you can check by the door over yonder but it hasn't been updated yet."
* Gloria Dance motions to the Mug Orchards entrance.
	Rochette: 	"Rochette Higsby. My partner, Roland, is a young Tropius." She walks over to the message board to examine it. "This is pretty convenient..."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Hey, Chloe," Blondelle strikes up more conversation, "do you see anybody our age in town?" Bondelle looks about the place.
	Gloria Dance: 	"There's been a bit of investigation on the void pockets and strange aura disturbance west of here."
	Gloria Dance: 	"Big reward I think."
	Rochette: 	"Void pockets... that'd be the areas without air, right? It might be something worth looking into, and Roland'll be able to help with that sort of issue."
	Gloria Dance: 	"Yes, that'd be it."
	Chloe: 	"Hm? No I hadn't." Chloe said to Blondelle without looking up. Her basic carving was nearly done, but she never had any idea how long fitting the new casing into a working ball would be. Chloe switched out her tools, moving on to finagling the capture device into the apricorn casing. ((Gm disgression on when crafting is complete))
	Rochette: 	"Do you have a Pokemon translator in town? If not, I could do some work with that before I head out. I had to pick up the language to achieve some semblance of peace around my house."
	Gloria Dance: 	"The Founder speaks to the Pokémon around here. Keeps us on the same page with them."
	Chloe: 	Chloe tilted her head. Seemingly unrelated to the conversation happening across the room, but that was the second time Chloe had heard 'the founder' since entering the town."
	Gloria Dance: 	"But, I wouldn't venture into the forest west of here alone. It's not exactly safe with all that's going on. But you have your Pokémon so you COULD be okay."
	Chloe: 	*no quote
Gloria Dance: (( Your'e in the Tavern? ))
	Chloe: 	(( Yes ))
	Rochette: 	"I think I'll see if one or two of the other travellers in town right now want to come with me. Thanks for the advice, Gloria."
Gloria Dance: (( I didn't see you go into it. I thought you were still at the fountain. ))
	Rochette: 	((just checked. looks like chloe followed rochette a while back))
	Rochette: 	((didn't see it either))
	Chloe: 	(( I went toward it with Rochette, stopped to wave, then continued on in))
	Gloria Dance: 	"Ah, another one! Welcome to Mug Orchards, traveler!"
	Chloe: 	Chloe smiled and bowed in greeting, "It's nice to meet you."
	Rochette: 	"Did you happen to overhear all that, um... Chloe, right?"
Gloria Dance whispers: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/559214
	Chloe: 	"Oh yes, but I didn't want to interrupt." Chole said, turning back to the craft.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle said, "Yeah! Same!"
	Rochette: 	"You didn't. You were one of the two I had in mind to ask, actually. The other's that girl in brown we walked in with. Didn't catch her name."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"I am Blondelle!"
	Rochette: 	"... You're also in white, not brown."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Hey! I have a pokemon!" she yelled. "I can totally tag along!"
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"I have pretty powerful fighting abilities and IMPOSSIBLE survival skills. Not to brag or anything."
	Chloe: 	"Oh? I didn't think you were talking about me. My name is Chloe, and I only came in with this one." Chloe smiled to Blondelle
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Yeah! Chloe and I are best friends."
	Rochette: 	"... Walked into town, I meant. There were four of us."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	She grinned.
	Gloria Dance: 	"Well, your talk of owning a Pokémon leads me to believe you all are new to Pokémon Training?"
	Chloe: 	"I... I didn't notice." Chloe looked confused.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Oh, that other girl, I liked her hat," she thought aloud, tapping her chin.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Yes!" Blondelle said, grinning at Gloria Dance.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"I am a pretty mighty force already, but I should be able to teach these two a thing or two."
	Gloria Dance: 	"Well, I think normally towns have wild roaming Pokémon in them, right? But the Founder asked them to not wander in town and as a result, we'd respect their homes and not go wandering in it. So, if you find it odd our town lacks Pokémon like that, that'd be why."
	Rochette: 	"... Actually, you know what? Why don't we all four go? I'll go talk with lucky lady number four." She wanted to at least do the townsfolk the favor of getting Blondelle out of their hair quickly. "Your founder sounds like a pretty nice person."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle grinned at the other girls. "Don't worry, babes, I'll take you all under my wing!"
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Mother hen, that's me!"
	Chloe: 	Chloe shrunk a little at Gloria's words. "I'm... not quite a trainer yet. I have a license, but i haven't caught a pokemon yet." She paused to listen to Gloria again, "Oh? So where are there homes? We don't want to get them mad at you, so we should avoid them too."
	Rochette: 	"... You're a bit tiny for a mother hen, pink."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Gasp! OMG! That's right," Blondelle said, "we need to fix that ASAP, Chloe!"
	Chloe: 	"I'm working on it." Chloe laughed, lifting up her apricorn project.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Get you a cute 'mon, like a Horsea or somethin' like that," Blondelle changes her mind, "now wait, I want a Horsea. And I don't like copying."
	Gloria Dance: 	"None of you are part of our town so no worries."
	Gloria Dance: 	"But if any of you get hurt on your travels you can come back and rest up here."
	Gloria Dance: 	"I'm not a Pokémon Center or anything but I have medical knowledge."
	Rochette: 	"Thanks, Gloria. And thanks again for the advice."
	Gloria Dance: 	"It won't be free though. So keep that in mind."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Wow! Thanks lady! You're really nice! And your outfit is really, really okay!"
	Gloria Dance: 	"I also have rooms for rent as well."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Hides your tuckshop arms and everything!"
	Rochette: 	Rochette heads outside and tries to find Saturn.
	Chloe: 	"How much are the rooms?" Chloe asked, still sitting at her table.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	Saturn is still resting under the same tree. Her eyes are half-open, resting, but she still seems quite alert.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	(For Ava/Rochette's reference)
	Gloria Dance: 	"100 Pokédollars a night. 400 Pokédollars for a week."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Actually!" Blondelle says, going up to Gloria Dance. "I got hit in the flaps before! Can you take a look?"
	Chloe: 	Chloe smiled. She could afford such a thing, if she was stuck for the evening.
	Gloria Dance: 	"I sure can. It's 75 Pokédollars to fix your boo-boo's. An additional 50 Pokédollars if I have to heal any real injuries."
	Chloe: 	Chloe tried not to laugh.
	Rochette: 	Rochette approaches Saturn, and gives a small bow. "Hey, my name's Rochette. I'm heading out west to look into ongoing research on the void areas and stuff. Want to come with? Doesn't really look like you've got much else going on."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Oh wow, you are wonderful," Blondelle compliments the lady, "it hurts around here." Blondelle showed off the battle wounds around her jaw.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Some police lady smacked me in the mouth!"
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"It was TOTALLY unfair."
	Gloria Dance: 	"Take a seat."
* Gloria Dance motions to a chair at the bar.
	Gloria Dance: 	"Yeah, Pru takes her job seriously."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	She takes a seat.
	Gloria Dance: 	"She's fought off some Snorlax and Ursaring that sometimes wander into town thinking we're easy pickings."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"You're telling me!"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Wat zei je?" Saturn replied, but then quickly cleared her throat and corrected herself. "Oh! Sorry. Forgot. ...Well, I just came from the west, so I don't really have much incentive to go back that way. ...I was just about to head out, actually. ...Why do you ask?"
	Gloria Dance: 	"But, she's a pretty likable gal. Just try not to insult her or anyone else while she's around."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"She seems like the type to wrestle bears..."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Oh, don't worry," Blondelle says, "I am picture perfect! An angel! A real doll! No insult will ever exit these flaps."
	Rochette: 	"Like I said, it doesn't really look like you've got much going on, and there's safety in numbers. I've got a Tropius that can provide air for us if we hit a Void Area, and there's a couple others that're interested in coming along too. Well... one's more like a possible distraction than an ally, but still."
* Gloria Dance applies some medicine on Blondelle's lips and cleans the blood off.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"How long do you think this will take? I want to try and make it to Cerulean by nightfall..."
Gloria Dance: (( Subtract $75 and recover to full. It'll take longer next time. ))
	Rochette: 	"Do you know of anything in Cerulean we could do to make money instead?"
* Saturn Rosewell seemed reluctant, though not unwilling.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"I don't know. I haven't been there yet. It's bigger than here, so probably."
	Rochette: 	"Well... stick around for a bit. I'll have to think about going that way instead. We'll pass by my house going that way."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Your...Your house?" Saturn was confused by the statement. "What about your house?"
	Rochette: 	"... My house is on the road to Cerulean. I was going this way to see if there was anything I could do in the area before going around the region on a journey."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"You too? You're going on a journey as well?"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	The notion of a journey seemed to strike a chord, however small.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	Her face didn't seem any different, though. It still seemed as melancholy as it had been two minutes ago.
	Rochette: 	"Yeah, that's the idea. I was going west to check out the research stuff and try to raise money for the journey. The tavern owner said there's a big reward for helping with the research."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Raise money, huh..."
* Saturn Rosewell 's gaze diverted to the ground, but not to avoid Rochette - she was definitely thinking.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"...I guess that'd help. I need to get some source of income. I guess I can tag along with you for a bit...I guess..."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	Again, reluctant, but not unwilling.
	Rochette: 	"We can see about heading to Cerulean after, if we don't run into something else on the way. Sound good?"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Fine...but unless we run into something big, I plan to head to Cerulean regardless, since I was heading that way anyway. But for now I'll see what you mean by this research stuff."
	Rochette: 	"Alright. Let's go grab the other two and get going."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"The...other two?"
* Saturn Rosewell shifted uncomfortably.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"There's going to be...more people?"
	Rochette: 	"... I told you that, yes. A noisy pink-haired girl and a shy ball crafter."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"I must have missed that bit." She shook a bit. "I'm getting second thoughts already..."
	Rochette: 	"..." Rochette sighed. "Well, if you decide to come along, meet me at the gate, alright? I'm having enough second thoughts for the whole group, but like I said, safety in numbers. Travelling alone is suicide in Kanto."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"I...I guess so... How long do I have to decide?"
	Rochette: 	"I'd like to leave before sundown. Don't have a specific time in mind though."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"...Guess I'd better decide quickly, then...I'll see you round."
* Saturn Rosewell stayed in one spot, thinking it over.
	Rochette: 	"Alright. Thanks for talking. If you don't come with us, maybe we'll see each other in Cerulean."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Maybe." She nodded.
	Rochette: 	Rochette heads back to the tavern, sighing and rubbing her temples.
Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle is blabbing about boys again, her lips looking a lot better.
Blondelle Champagne: 	She notices Rochette as she enters the tavern. "Hi! So, how'd it go?"
* Chloe Blanchett listens in with a content smile. She had little to add, but she didn't look uncomfortable anymore.
	Rochette: 	"She might come with us. Hasn't decided yet. Blondelle made her have second thoughts, I think."
Blondelle Champagne: 	"Hey!" Blondelle said, looking distraught. "I have you know I am, like, the mother hen of this group! I am this group's rock!"
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe looked at Blondelle with an expression of bewilderment. "... what color is the sky in your world?"
Blondelle Champagne: 	"Rose."
Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle sticks her tongue out cheekily.
	Rochette: 	"... Right. Let's get this straight now. You're not the mother hen, you're not the rock. You're lucky we're inviting you along is what you are, Blondelle. I'm not as short-tempered as Prudence, but I'm not interested in being called your inferior."
* Gloria Dance pulls out a scroll and begins to read it.
Blondelle Champagne: 	"I am not calling your inferior! I am saying that I am this team's rock and mother hen!"
Gloria Dance: 	"The petitioner is Vendrick Metts."
Blondelle Champagne: 	"Yeah! What she said!"
Gloria Dance: 	"Offering a reward of 10000 Pokédollars."
Blondelle Champagne: 	"Yeah! Wha-- whoa! That's a lot of shoes!"
DNA: 	...
Gloria Dance: 	"If the source is neutralized in the research, there's a bonus reward of 3000 Pokédollars."
* DNA OOC facepalm
Blondelle Champagne: 	"Okay! We should probably give our group a name or something, y'know?"
Gloria Dance: 	"Are you all doing this as a group?"
Blondelle Champagne: 	"Yeah! And I am the mother hen!"
Gloria Dance: 	"If you do, and register as one, the reward isn't split."
	Rochette: 	... Rochette walks out.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"Yes, we are as a group." Chloe said.
Gloria Dance: 	"How many members?"
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"Four." Chloe continued. "Perhaps less by the time we're finished."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	Saturn's decision was leaning more towards yes. There would be a more immediate source of income, plus there'd be no guarantee that what she found in Cerulean would be any better. Might as well take the opportunity as it comes. The downside is she probably wouldn't get to Cerulean by nightfall as she wanted, but she had to take it in stride.
Gloria Dance: 	"Well, to register you will be provided with a Signet Ring with an emblem of your groups choice."
	Rochette: 	Rochette walked over to the fountain to watch the water flow, holding onto her lone pokemon's ball while she thought things over again.
Gloria Dance: 	"A Signet Ring costs 1000 Pokédollars. But, that can just be deducted upon your first pay."
Gloria Dance: 	"Beats splitting 10k amongst four, right?"
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe shifted, "Hrm... we've only just grouped up, and I don't know if we'll even stay together. We're just all here at a good time to help each other."
Gloria Dance: 	"Your choice. But the rings is a proof of group to avoid leaving out as two and returning later as eleven."
Gloria Dance: 	"So, without the rings, the reward is split."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe nodded. "... I understand. What emblems do you have?"
Gloria Dance: 	"We have..."
Gloria Dance: (( And I'll let you guys decide on it later, as a real group. ))
DNA: 	inb4 it's the double-helix Poke-Ball logo
Blondelle Champagne: 	(( so long as it's not heart, that was the worse power from Captain Planet ))
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"I'll go find the others..." Chloe looked at her unfinished ball, but knew it would be dangeorus to let Blondelle try to gather them. She packed up her things and walked out to look for the distincive clothing of her newest friend.
DNA: 	oddly enough, heart being useful is the only thing I remember from CP
Gloria Dance: (( The ball can be done by the time you exit town OR the session ends. Whichever happens first. ))
	Chloe Blanchett: 	((^__^))
Blondelle Champagne: 	"Hey! Can I pay for those rings now?"
Gloria Dance: 	"All four will be 4000 Pokédollars."
Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle forked out the cash for two rings: one of them was a gift for her best friend Chloe.
Gloria Dance: (( Two is 2k. So feel free to subtract that. ))
Blondelle Champagne: 	With those two rings paid for, Blondelle smiles happily. "Wow! So pretty!" she cooed. "We are still getting two more, just they can pay for their own."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"Hey... We need to buy some signet rings for our group, so we can earn our reward... It's a bit up front and I don't want Blondelle paying for it." Chloe smiled innocently to Rochette, "Unless you want to be indebted to her."
Gloria Dance: (( Don't forget it can be taken out of your first payment. ))
Gloria Dance: (( She said that. ))
	Rochette: 	"I don't have the money. Was there an option to pay later?"
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe nodded, "It can be taken out of our first payment."
	Rochette: 	"Alright. Do you have any issues with going towards Cerulean once we collect our pay?"
Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe tried to hide a look of disapointment, "Hm... I suppose not. That's where I came from. I was hoping to see what Merribell Resort was all about, but that may have to be an adventure for another day."
	Rochette: 	"You can sort out which way we won't be going with Saturn, she's basically your opposite. I'm game for going either way."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"I don't mind at all." Chloe smiled.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	She continued, "I've never been to the other side of Cerulean anyway, it's just a bit of backtracking before I see something new."
Gloria Dance: (( People doing things? ))
	Rochette: 	"Like I said, I'm good either way. Should we go get Saturn and get going?"
Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle left the shop and went to find Chloe and show her the rings she bought!
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe nodded, starting to feel uncomfortable with the silence, "I just need to finish something up, you can pick me back up here."
* Saturn Rosewell sauntered slowly towards the western gate, having made up her mind, to tell Rochette her decision. But it looks like she was in the middle of town already.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe walked back to Mug Orchards.
	Rochette: 	"Saturn, hi. You coming? If so, we can put a signet ring on order for you if you don't have the money for one up front. It'll be taken out of the first payment, apparently"
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Meeting Blondelle halfway Chloe waved, "I'm going to go get the rings, you can meet up with the others if you wish."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"......"
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"No!"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"How do you know my name?"
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle grinned. "I bought mine and one for you, too!"
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Besssttttt frieeeennddd~"
	Rochette: 	((scratch out the name if she didn't introduce herself))
DNA: 	(Neither of them know the other one's names)
	Blondelle Champagne: 	She gave Chloe a signet ring.
	Rochette: 	((then like i said, she didn't say it))
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe shifted uncomfortably, "... you know what? There's the fourth one, the one whose not sure about coming. Maybe you could give it to her as a gift of starting a new friendship!"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Yeah, I've decided to tag along with you. ...A signet ring? What for?"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	(Noted!)
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Hmmm," Blondelle thought about that, "that's something a best friend would say. Thanks Chloe! You're so nice!"
	Rochette: 	"Group-ness. Didn't really get told why we need it, ask Chloe. I'm Rochette. Chloe's the one with a cream beanie on her head. The one you want to watch out for has pink hair."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe beamed, "She was concerned about joining us, just think about how much happier she'll be with such a generous group!"
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"And smart and pretty and I really, really like your outfit. It's really farm girl like."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"All right, so the rings identify us as a group. Trust the one with the cream beanie, who is Chloe, and avoid the pink-haired one."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe laughed and blushed, "I... um... I'll just be going."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"...I'm Saturn. It's nice to meet you."
* Saturn Rosewell nodded her head slightly.
	Rochette: 	"Nice to meet you too."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe walked into the tarvern, waving to Gloria if she would see her.
	Rochette: 	Rochette gestured for Saturn to follow, and walked towards the tavern.
* Saturn Rosewell followed Rochette, quietly. Her footsteps barely made any noise.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle was standing outside the Tavern. She spotted the two girls and waved at them happily. "Hello!" she said.
	Gloria Dance: 	"Welcome back and hello new Trainer."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Hey, is that the other girl?" she asks, indicating Saturn. "I really like your beret! It's so pretty!"
DNA: 	(Is Gloria referring to me? I think Saturn is just trying to hang back at a distance.)
	Rochette: 	"This is our fourth. Everyone say hello to Saturn."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe smiled, "So... myself and... Rochette? Yes. We don't have the money up front, so you can take the price of our rings out of our reward."
DNA: 	(Ah, okay.)
Gloria Dance: (( Yes. ))
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"H-Hi..." She waved weakly. "M-My beret? You like it? Oh, um...thanks..."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"But! To welcome you to the group, Fourth Girl!" Blondelle walks up. "Here!" she says, offering the ring.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	It was fairly obvious she didn't do so well in social interactions.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"It's a nice of our new friendship!"
	Blondelle Champagne: 	sign* not nice??? hur durr
DNA: 	gurdurr indeed
	Gloria Dance: 	"That's quite alright. It'll be a note on your record so even if you don't succeed on this Order, any future Order you do succeed will have it taken out. So don't feel bad if you can't succeed this particular Order."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"I am Blondelle! I am this team's mother hen and rock!"
	Rochette: 	"Good to know, but hopefully we won't fail--Blondelle, stop saying that!"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"A...mother hen and a rock?"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Your muscles look kinda squishy to me..."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe smiled, relieved that she would be paying for her own, "Thank you very much." Chloe bowed again before heading out with the signet rings. "H-hi everyone." She said as she walked out the door, seeing the others.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Well, that's because I am not tensing them..." Blondelle looked away shyly.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"T-Thanks for the ring, though, I suppose..."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	She looked it over, but put it in her bag instead of wearing it on her finger.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Yes!" Blondelle's confidence return with force. "You're welcome!"
	Rochette: 	"We might as well sort out what each of us can and can't do while we're walking to the job site."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe looked to Rochette, then looked down. "... I'm not very good at anything... It's why I wanted to travel and learn."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Uhhh...I don't really do much. I'm kinda average. I do know how to take care of myself, though...Met a nurse once who showed me the ropes."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"...She was nice. It was surprising."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"I am pretty fantastic at everything."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"I think my greatest strength is my humility, though."
	Rochette: 	"I'm mainly good at fighting, just got started as a Pokemon Trainer. My Tropius, Roland, inherited a pretty interesting type combination and some unique powers, but he's no good if the enemy's using Rock. Still working on my accuracy, but I'm following the training regimen my mother and father left behind."
	Rochette: 	"I also know a bit about wilderness survival, and I can speak with Kanto pokemon."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"You can speak with Kanto Pokemon?"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"...That's wonderful. Natasha and I have been working on it, but we haven't been doing so well..."
	Rochette: 	Rochette says a few words in Pokemon (Kanto).
* Saturn Rosewell sadly didn't understand any of it.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"Maybe she can help teach you on the road?" Chloe smiled, eager to give everyone a reason to cooperate.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Yeah! Teach me, too!"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"That could work, though I think Natasha could use the training more than me."
	Rochette: 	"If I can teach it, I'll give it a shot. You've got to be willing to focus on it though."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Shouldn't be a problem, I hope..."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe smiled, "Should we get going...?"
	Rochette: 	"Yeah, let's head out."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle tags along, paying attention to Saturn and appraising her outfit. "You have really nice taste in clothes," she says, nodding in approval.
* Saturn Rosewell followed quietly about 3 steps behind Rochette. These people seemed nice enough, though she wasn't willing to take a chance yet.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Who, me? Uh, thanks...?"
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Of course you, silly!" Blondelle guffawed.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"O-Okay then..." She shifted a bit.
	Rochette: 	Rochette takes the lead, since nobody else (aside from Bragelle) said they were any good at fighting.
DNA: 	Bragelle?
	Blondelle Champagne: 	(me)
	Rochette: 	(brag+blondelle)
DNA: 	I know, but lol
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe had her hands folded behind her back, humming gently to a tune she had heard a meloetta on the TV sing once.
DNA: 	AHHHHHHHHHH
* DNA straightened her beret a bit, then let her arms hang at her sides. Her eyes darted about, taking in the scenery.
	Rochette: 	Rochette took a deep breath as she walked down the road, relaxing rather quickly.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe's head seemed to be in the clouds, but even as they walked she kept careful note of her surroundings. 20 Perception.
Kaorin Sakura: (( Fookin' crit. ))
Avara: 	hahaha
DNA: 	lol
DNA: 	first public roll of the night yeeboi
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Eyes like a hawk...
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"Oh? It looks like there are some pokemon over there. Maybe they know something?" Chloe turned to Rochette, "They look pretty attentive."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe had snapped from her daydream in an instant, acting as if what she was pointing out was obvious and mundane.
	Rochette: 	"What kind of pokemon do you see? What do they look like?"
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle looks around, trying to see what Chloe is pointing out.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"I'm not sure. It's a group of them though, by that river."
	Rochette: 	"Alright. I'll take the lead, let's head over there." She walks slowly and quietly, going a bit ahead of everyone. 17 stealth for silence.
Kaorin Sakura: (( Oh wait. ))
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"Oh, Cottonee, Foongus, a Diglett and I'm not too familiar with the other two. At least what I see."
	Rochette: 	"... They sound nice~."
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle hides behind Chloe, using the taller girl as a potential meat shield.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	Saturn stayed back a bit, but remained quiet. She did look around for anything else that might be nearby. Perception: 7
	Blondelle Champagne: 	(lucky number 7?)
	Saturn Rosewell: 	(I can only hope.)
Kaorin Sakura whispers: You see a river ahead and a forest in the distance behind it.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe notices Saturn looking, "What are you looking for?" She joined in her search. Activating Let Me Help You With That. Roll again Saturn, add 3.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Nothing in particular, just wanted to make sure we don't run into anything that might jump us or something." Rerolled Perception: 8
DNA: 	(I think i'll just stop for now lol)
Kaorin Sakura whispers: Same result.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	(the dice Gods hate you)
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: I assumed as much.
DNA: 	At least tonight they do. They know how much I hate low-level play.
Kaorin Sakura: 	How exactly are you sneaking, Rochette?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Along the road or what?
	Blondelle Champagne: 	(tippy toes, of course)
	Rochette: 	Rochette is moving with controlled steps and slow motions through the light brush, but not deep into the... forest?
Kaorin Sakura: 	You aren't anywhere near the forest yet.
	Rochette: 	right. well she's not on the road, but she's staying within reasonable distance of it.
Kaorin Sakura: 	You're moving along a defined path west of the city (And on the region map).
Kaorin Sakura: 	I'll assume you're simply staying out of view, otherwise that auto-fails. >_>
Avara: 	yes. you haven't really -described- the route, so i haven't really been given the tools to describe my sneakery
Kaorin Sakura: 	Are folks allowing Rochette to approach alone and are waiting of...waht?
Kaorin Sakura: 	You guys didn't exactly give me a CHANCE to.
Avara: 	... =|
Avara: 	anyway. yes, i'm trying to stay out of sight
Blondelle Champagne: 	*awaits description*
Blondelle Champagne: 	=3
DNA: 	Saturn is about still on the main path, though trying to keep about 3 paces behind Rochette.
Blondelle Champagne: 	You have the floor, maestro!
The path is made of dirt and in follows directly west of Fairview. Ankle high-grass covers the north and south of the path with small patches of flowers scattered about. Several stones and tree's are also scattered about the grass. In the distance the sight of a river can be seen to the west.
	Rochette : 	Rochette is moving low, using the taller grass to obscure herself as she moves from tree to tree, or bush, or so on, until she could get within clear hearing range of the Pokemon by the river.
* Saturn Rosewell tries to just stay out of sight near the path, hiding behind a tree or something, unless beckoned closer. She's trying to stay close-ish, though.
Kaorin Sakura: (( Listening in, eh? Gimme a moment. ))
	Rochette: 	((yes))
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle remains with everyone else, a confused expression on her face - God, she hated being out in the wilderness. Fortunately, she found a group of able bodied Amazons to keep her safe in this dangerous world.
Kaorin Sakura: (( For the rest of the party. ))
	Fletchling: 	Words.
DNA: 	lol
	Foongus: 	Words.
	Diglett: 	Wooooords.
DNA: 	irl giggling
	Fletchling: 	Words!
	Rochette: 	Pokemon words said gently!
	Fletchling: 	Angry words!
	Scatterbug: 	O.O
* Scatterbug big eyes.
	Rochette: 	Rochette moves slightly out of cover, enough to be seen but enough to hide behind the tree again if attacked.
Cottonee: (( Words, for the party. ))
	Rochette: 	--still speaking pokemon words at pokemon.
	Diglett: 	Words! Words! Word.
* Saturn Rosewell didn't know what was going on, but she knew Rochette was doing something, so she stayed quiet.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"What do you thinks going on there?" she asks, looking at Chloe and Saturn.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	She was whispering, of course.
	Foongus: 	Wordyness occured.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"If I had to guess? She's trying to get permission to let us pass peacably."
	Rochette: 	woooooooorrrrrrrds. More words. Lots of words. Some more words, and a few more words.
	Fletchling: 	Uh, words. Words. Or chirping.
* Scatterbug eyes grow larger.
	Scatterbug: 	@.@
	Rochette: 	Rochette steps out from behind the tree, but stays low to avoid coming across as trying to intimidate. Words.
	Diglett: 	"No e te nonoi noa koe. Waiho inaianei. Whakatūpato Last."
	Rochette: 	((kaorin, any other pokemon going to speak up?))
Diglett: (( They HAVE been. ))
DNA: 	Wow, Kanto Pokemon is Hawaiian. Funky.
	Rochette: 	((i know. i mean right now))
Diglett: (( Ah,no. They're obviously in agreement with each other. ))
Diglett: (( I chose a random language. ))
	Rochette: 	Rochette sighs, and pulls out her pokeball. She gestures towards the group to come over, and speaks in Pokemon before repeating in English. "Looks like the pokemon here really aren't that cooperative. We can either fly over you guys, or we can fight past you. Either way we're planning to cross."
* Saturn Rosewell gripped her wrist. She imagined this ending in a battle, which she didn't want happening.
None of the Pokémon seem to understand Rochette.
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Blondelle approaches, slowly...
	Saturn Rosewell: 	She turned to the other two. "Chloe. Pink-hair. Looks like something's going down. Careful."
Chloe: 	"What are they saying..?"
Avara: 	like i said, she said it in pokemon before speaking it in human
	Blondelle Champagne: 	She gives the PokeMon her most pretty, big eyes, "Why won't you guys let us pass?"
Diglett: (( Ahhhh. ))
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Charm:
* Blondelle Champagne rolls: 3d6+3 => 9 + 3 = 12
	Foongus: 	"Mahalo kihai ahau kia mārama te reira. E kore tera taha o tenei wāhi mai e koe. Ahakoa, ki te meinga te reira koutou mua ia tatou, nei ka hopu matou ia koutou ki raro, ki te koutou i roto i, kia ka whainga atu koe i ētahi atu rite pai. Haere atu."
DNA: 	And thus was born the Legend of Mata Nui.
* DNA shot
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"What's the PokeMon with the fantastic lips saying, Rochette?"
* Scatterbug shakes its head at Blondelle.
	Rochette: 	More pokemon words.
* Cottonee narrows its eyes and leaps forward.
Cottonee: (( Rather than be mean and hit you before combat happens I'll be initiating it now. ))
	Rochette: 	"They're threatening us. Even if we make it past, they say we'll be hunted by others. This is the way we have to go, right?"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Is it? I'm following your lead, so..."
	Rochette: 	"You're the one whose been this way before."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"Why are they guarding it?"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Oh. Right."
* Saturn Rosewell recollects.
	Rochette: 	"They won't say."
	Fletchling: 	Initiative = 12
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"...I'm pretty sure this is the way. It does look familiar."
	Rochette: 	((Rochette also has a speed of 12.))
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"Maybe they're trying to protect us from the void pockets."
	Rochette: 	"Nah. We wouldn't be -hunted- if it was for our protection."
	Cottonee: 	Initiative = 14
	Foongus: 	Initiative = 2
	Diglett: 	Initiative = 18
	Scatterbug: 	Initiative = 2
Avara: 	diglett is fast
DNA: 	That is to be expected. Very fast, but not very durable.
Avara: 	not very familiar with diglett
Diglett has received initiative.
Kaorin Sakura: 	New Encounter Starts: Initiative Sorted, Top of the Order, Round 1
* Diglett burrows!
* Diglett emerges in front of Rochette!
* Diglett kicks sand at Rochette! 0 vs. Speed Eva!
* Diglett fails miserably.
Cottonee has received initiative.
	Rochette: 	Rochette boggles at the fact that Diglett can kick. (joking)
DNA: 	Its nose is secretly a pressure gun.
Avara: 	or maybe that's actually its mouth
* Cottonee throws a gust of wind at Rochette! 2 vs. Sp.Def Eva!
	Cottonee: 	18 Fairy Special Damage!
Fletchling has received initiative.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"If someone hits the cottonee, I'll try a friend ball..."
	Rochette: 	Rochette loses 8 hit points.
* Fletchling flies up and tries to ram into Rochette! 1 vs. Def Eva!
	Fletchling: 	Fletchling goes up 1 meter(s).
DNA: 	Tankin' it.
	Rochette: 	Rochette avoids it.
Rochette has received initiative.
	Rochette: 	Rochette side-steps the bird, and tries to hit the Diglett with a quick pair of hits! 1 16
	Rochette: 	crit miss, crit
Avara: 	wait no, not crit miss. still
Fletchling: (( Which attack? ))
DNA: 	If it's a Double Strike move, then just double the DB from that one hit.
Fletchling: (( Not how it works. ._> ))
Avara: 	(double hit. it's a double strike move)
Fletchling: (( 1d8+5 extra damage on 1 crit ))
Fletchling: (( 2d8+10 extra damage on 2 crits ))
Avara: 	(if i hit twice it'd double the DB. crits just double the dice.)
Fletchling: (( Double Strikes have that exact ruling. ))
DNA: 	Yeah, so it'd be (1d8+5) *2
Avara: 	31 normal physical damage.
DNA: 	I know how Double Strike works.
Fletchling: (( 30 damage? ))
Fletchling: (( I see two 1d8+6. >_> ))
Avara: 	31
DNA: 	In that case it'd be 29, if the attack is 1d8+5 at base.
Avara: 	double hit is 1d8+6
Fletchling: (( Double strike criticals don't deal with the damage base. ))
Fletchling: (( I said it plainly. ))
DNA: 	oh, whoops
Fletchling: (( If 1 crits, 1d8+5. ))
Avara: 	... double hit, in the pdf
Avara: 	1d8+6
DNA: 	Wow, I didn't even notice the number under DS had absolutely NOTHING to do with the damage base.
Avara: 	so i rolled 1d8+6+1d8+6
Fletchling: (( You aren't listening! ))
Avara: 	it's in your sheet too.
DNA: 	can I say it
DNA: 	please
Fletchling: (( Please DNA ))
* Avara sighs and facepillows.
DNA: 	When a Double Strike move crits, it doesn't double its own damage base. It adds 1d8+5 instead, regardless of the move's actual damage base.
Avara: 	okay
Avara: 	then 30 damage
DNA: 	Not exactly sure why that is, but that is how it is written.
* Avara gets some water.
DNA: 	I myself also learned something today! And thus we were all closer together.
Avara: 	30 normal physical damage
DNA: 	So, yeah, 30 damage. Take it to the face, Fletchscrub.
DNA: 	er, Diglett.
Avara: 	not fletchling
Avara: 	diglett
	Diglett: 	Diglett loses 26 hit points.
DNA: 	The fatigue is starting to get to me.
* Diglett is solidly knocked unconscious.
Blondelle Champagne has received initiative.
Avara: 	that's... that's a lot of injuries
	Blondelle Champagne: 	"Okay!" she says, throwing a basic ball. "Go... June Oliver!"
DNA: 	Probably solidly knocked past -50% HP.
Diglett: (( Throwing distance is 4+athletics rank! ))
Diglett: (( June is added to initiative. ))
Avara: 	i'm pretty sure that's the symbol for 5 injuries
Diglett: (( 4 ))
DNA: 	The 5 one is a red fuzzy blur.
Avara: 	ah
	June Oliver: 	so, 6 distance?
Diglett: (( Up to 6. ))
Avara: 	still... rochette smote it.
	June Oliver: 	easily within
Diglett: (( Add June's speed please. ))
DNA: 	"But, I smote him. I smoted him good."
	June Oliver: 	Set.
Diglett: (( That's your shift. Any standards? ))
	Blondelle Champagne: 	Pose! And cheer on June Oliver. "Go cutie! Do your best!~"
	Blondelle Champagne: 	End.
Chloe Blanchett has received initiative.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe takes out and equips her Hand Net! Holding the net in both hands.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	((Going to pass until I have more actions at once))
Saturn Rosewell has received initiative.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	Saturn reached for a Poke Ball at her belt, and threw it a clear distance ahead of her into the fray. "Ze zijn boos ... Probeer ze te kalmeren, Natasha."
DNA: 	Natasha enters combat! Her Init. is 10, so may I take my turn now?
Natasha has received initiative.
DNA: 	(Saturn has no standards for this turn.)
* Natasha looked around, assessing the situation. These Pokemon looked quite angered! With a swish of her hand, and a wink of her eye, she tried to calm them down!
	Natasha: 	Charm check, aimed at the opposing side: 19
DNA: 	That is presumably a Standard Action, so I will await results.
Diglett: (( Doing what exactly? ))
DNA: 	Trying to either distract or dissuade the wilds' anger.
DNA: 	Or, to quote you, "Go Victini, use 'fuck I'm adorable'!"
	Cottonee: 	34 Resisting that Charm!
