Sounds good to me. I already let Danielle said she wouldn't mind taking care of it since it seems to bother Henry so much. Maybe the Togepi will be uncomfortable with her so she will hand it off to Robert then?

"Nice to see you all goo-free too, Henry~" Danielle immediately retorted back with a light tone, turning around to find annoyed Henry with the Togepi being oblivious to his attitude. She giggled at his disdain. "Well, this reminds me of how Avis keeping on tailing me until I accepted her. Honestly, I wouldn't mind keeping Togepi if it really bothers you, but why not accept it? The 'thing," as you called it, seems to like you enough."

So... Is there any intercom for calling the headquarters? I was waiting on Hukuna's response to the suggestion.

lol! I found the scene cute, that's all. I don't know if Commander has a plan with how to catch it though?

"Hmm...?" Danielle looked over to where Robert was signaling to. Her lingering question was answered by the appearance of Henry and a Togepi. The Pokemon looked happy to be with Henry while the trainer seemed troubled. "I guess we can work on this problem then, right?" she suggested to the boy next to her as gave a wave to her fellow coordinator. 'A Togepi, a Pokemon that symbolizes happiness, following Henry.' Danielle couldn't help but giggle at that thought. 'And to think that Henry thought of himself so horribly.' As they are waiting for Henry to come over, Danielle gave a sigh as she looked back at the group. "I'm sure Ryan can fix it, I'm just worried about what Kristen could cause in the future..."

We could try picking up the Togepi, only to have it cry until she is returned to Henry? That's what happened with Misty's Togepi in the anime, so maybe we could use that as a base?

I did drop Henry's name in my post, so Turbo could probably spot him? Or I could edit mine to say she saw him?

"Oohh, so that explains the brunette being so upset." Danielle sighed sadly at the revelation, although she is thankful for Robert being here. "I knew Ryan was taken before this trip, so I can confirm that he is definitely not interested in Sofia, unfortunately for her. What surprises me is that the redhead, Kristen over there, is actually being nice to someone other than Jacob." She turned to Robert to explain. "Let me explain what I know, since it ties into what I just said. Basically, Kristen is nasty to me and some of my friends that support me because of jealousy. She made herself known to me while we were out with the Gible and the desert dragons. She told me that I'm her rival now just because I am more popular then her." Danielle rolled her eyes before getting back to her side of the story. "Henry can back me up on that statement, since he did try to help me in his own way in dealing with her... Kristen also told me that has a crush on Jacob and she knows I like a guy, so she has been trying to hit that weak point, although I just find her attempts to piss me off amusing." She nodded to the gathering up ahead. "This all probably sounds strange since she isn't acting up now and insulting me but, believe me, she may only be doing that because she doesn't want to lose her chance with Jacob. That's what girls do when they want to impress the guy they like." Avis crowed in confirmation to what Danielle just said, hoping that her chiming would convince Robert that Danielle was telling the truth. Avis then went back to observing the group; her feathers, at least, have returned to normal now that the subject was addressed.

Poliwrath Get in line; we passed Fearow a long time ago~

Danielle nodded towards Robert before going back to observing the scene. "Thanks, Robert~ I could also fill you in on some information too, if you would like." Avis only ruffled her feathers more to indicate her dissatisfaction with Jacob approaching Kristen. "Avis probably won't let me down if I don't tell you though." Danielle added, chuckling quietly as she calmed her bird down with a few strokes.

"Feeling better, Avis?" Danielle asked the bird that is now underneath a towel. The coordinator then heard a muffled cry of satisfaction before taking the towel away from Avis. Danielle resisted the urge to laugh; her small Murkrow was now twice as big as her normal size thanks to her loose feathers from her bird bath (which she took in the sink while Danielle used the shower). Avis looked more like a chubby, overgrown Pidove than the scrawny, little Murkrow. This scene cracks Danielle up every time. Turning her attention towards the mirror, Danielle then proceeded to comb out the tangles from her now clean and lustrous brown hair before she tied it back up into a ponytail. While Avis was preening herself, the girl wiped off the water left by the sink and the floor, talking to the mischievous bird all the while. "So much for getting Henry to open up, right Avis? Right when he was about to tell us, another obstacle has to appear." At that, she heard Avis gave a disgruntled grunt. "I guess we have made progress with him though. At least he's not going to prank us anytime soon... I have a feeling that just as long as Kristen isn't around, Henry doesn't mind our company. He seems bent on staying out of this supposed rivalry, which is reasonable, although I find the reason for Kristen's declaration to be pretty pathetic." Her Murkrow, now looking a little more recognizable, gazed down at her master who was wiping off the last spots of water on the floor. Avis gave a small cry before going back to grooming. "I'll take that as a yes." Danielle responded. "To be honest, I don't even consider her a real rival; she only declared that I am her rival because I get more attention than her. So lame~" The coordinator got back up and threw the drenched paper towel away. She then proceeded to gather her gooey clothes and towels. "I'm not going to lie, though, her liking Jacob scares me a little, n-not because I'm afraid he'll turn on me, no~" she quickly added after Avis made a face. "I'm just afraid he'll get hurt a second time. And, considering her attitude, it could spell disaster." Avis gave a laugh before flying back onto Danielle's shoulder. The bird then gave her disappointed look once again before Danielle stroked her wing. "Are you trying to say that Jacob has more sense than that?" Avis nodded. "You're right. I should have more faith in him; he's not dumb after all. But, if he does fall for her..." Danielle shrugged, despondently. "Well, what are we to judge?" Avis rolled her eyes and stared at Danielle after the human girl put everything back into their rightful place. Danielle stared right back, trying to figure out what was going through Avis' head. After a short while, Danielle smiled and patted Avis. Although they are separated by a language barrier, they were always able to feel what the other is trying to say. "I get it, Avis. Thanks, as always." Danielle turned to address Sissy to apologize for that strange moment, only to find that Sissy had disappeared. The door was also left ajar. "Well, I guess we better head out too." Danielle then followed Sissy's footsteps to head outside. Once outside, she saw some similar faces gathered around and approached them carefully. Upon closer inspection, she found a crying girl with a less-smug looking Kristen and the guys around. No Slade, Raiza or Lana... Where are they?' Danielle felt Avis ruffling up her feathers as if something, or someone, had offended her. "What's wrong?" She found Avis eyeing a small group with Kristen, an upset brunette, Ryan, Claude... and Jacob. "Easy, Avis. Remember what you told me." Danielle walked over towards them, but stopped short of the crowd to avoid unnecessary attention, observing the scene all the while. Despite her silence, though, the gravel and leaves crunching beneath her feet could be giveaways to her presence. 'Well, that's new, Kristen has a soft side, or does she...?' Danielle spied Jacob giving her a polite smile as Ryan went over to speak with an upset brunette. 'Sweet love: A beautiful, yet deadly force, as Valerie once said. But... sooner or later, our personalities will reveal whether or not a pair is meant to last. I couldn't understand what that meant before, but I think I do now, somewhat. Jacob, don't be fooled.'

*hugs K_H* Artemis loves you~ ^^

Welp, it's official: Danielle is going to have to go back outside then. Does Ryan or anyone want Danielle around? If not, I could just have her wandering around looking for Raiza, Lana and Slade. Edit: Nevermind, Danielle will head out, but she will come around if anyone calls for her.

Now I'm going to be alone with an NPC

While Henry and the rest of the guys were busy trying to get Ryan alone with Sofia, Danielle had gone back into her room to get a fresh set of clothes to change into after a long needed shower. Danielle began greeting Sissy before leaving for a wash but, upon seeing Sissy's blank stare, Danielle figured she wanted to be left alone for now. 'I guess I'm not the only one who had a long day...' With that, Danielle left for the bathroom. Avis followed Danielle into the bathroom, but not before she gave a nod to Sissy's direction. Although Sissy was lost in thought, Avis knew her Misdreavous is around and watching.

Danielle knows it too, but yeah, she isn't going to use it to her advantage yet.

I'm going to let one of you handle the situation. Danielle will probably try to find her missing roommates.
