"Let me throw pebbles if I want to, woman!!! I hurt no one, see?" Cass turned to Emilee for a moment with an annoyed look on his face and gestured with his hand towards the pebble rolling harmlessly on the woodn floor before turning to the Spy and sighing. "Bad things such as? Mwahaha, you worry too much!" He laughed, but then his smile slowly faded into a serious grimace. He neared the other two and whispered, glancing sideways every so often. "D'ya have a bad reputation as a group or something around here? Should I be worried again?"

Georgey still doesn't care about anything happening around him. If Robert wanted his help, he'd need to physically drag him onto his feet.

SHELLY "Uhm...it was here when I got here." Zeta looks at Shelly. "And it's square, like a house. And it has a roof. Or well, it had a roof...but then some weird looking green trees suddenly appeared in the middle of it and broke it down...that's when Meggie got hurt and Lumi ran off..." EMMANUEL "Boof!" Poochy wags her tail and barks proudly. She follows Emmanuel. [Poochy and Emm have grown closer <3]

GROUP 1 (KALVA, EMMANUEL, SENA) Poochy sniffs the tooth, wagging her tail happily at Emm. She lowers her snout to the ground, tracking the scent, before raising her head and looking to the left path. "Boof!" Take the Left path, y/n? Will you trust Poochy? EVERYONE ELSE Kai picks a couple of branches up. She can't carry too many as they're both sharp and heavy. "O-oh!" Zeta exclaims surprisedly as Kai catches her in a piggyback. Murki flaps its wings and opens its beak as if to start bawking again, but she sees the girl's good intentions and just shrugs. "T-thank you..." Zeta adds and relaxes a bit on Kai back. Kai would only then notice how tense the girl had been until that moment. "We should go there..." She points at the path leading left, the one from which Kalva, Desmond and Taylor had arrived. "...or we could take the one Meggie made..." The girl adds, somewhat dispirited. Pick which path? (up or left) You reckon the path Meggie made (up) was the faster route. But still...

The girl breathes in and out...calming down somewhat. "I-I'm fine, t-thank you..." She says to Kai as she hands her a handkerchief, using it to wipe some sweat off her forehead with shaky hands. She looks confused when the girl pats her and flinches a bit. "It's alright...you couldn't have known so it's not your fault...it's mine..." She adds. "My name is Zeta...I-I live here...and this is Murkibyte...the Gabite, Meggie, is a friend..." "KRA!!!" The Murkrow, perched upon the girl's shoulder, spreads its wings and lets out a shriek as it is called. It eyes Sena for a moment, frowning as to signal to him not to get any closer. It nods with satisfaction when the boy runs off. The girl, calling herself Zeta, doesn't notice Kalva, Emmanuel and Sena going after Meggie. She also doesn't notice the paper at the ground. You can assume she's still shaken up and doesn't have enough shits to give to such menial things (like counting all of you or looking at notes left on the ground) at this moment. Instead, after they've already gone, she exclaims. "We should probably leave Meggie alone for now...I'll take you over to my house, we can search for her later..." She still seems shaky on her feet, even as she tries to move and lead you to her house, so maybe one of you should let her lean against you? Radovan sees that while most of the crystals have been drained of power and/or utterly crushed, there are still a few glowing faintly. Meggie had been thrashing recklessly, so she hadn't cared about smashing into every single one of them. Shelly's A-Comm buzzes with a message popping up: "Good to hear! We're getting in contact with the Prez, apparently, she ran into some press trouble. Damn #07 news-people, jumping at the first mistake she made! Mandibuzz, I say, Mandibuzz!!!" (OoC: The Cadets are splitting into two groups again; Group 1 is Kalva, Emmanuel and Sena) Poochy looks confusedly at Emmanuel as he leaves her behind. She whimpers, her tail between her legs...but she can't let him go alone. He's helped her, so she was going to help him, even if it meant going against that Gabite. "Boooooooooooooooooooooooooof!" Poochy lets out a determined howl as she shakes her fear away, and then runs after Emmanuel, quickly catching up to him and barking to get his attention as they ran. [Poochy's ATK is at +1 now] Kalva's A-Comm buzzes. "Kalva, no! It's too dangerous!!!" Gina yells. "I'm not giving you the map! I don't want you to go against any wild Pokemon without one of your own!" The path of Meggie's destruction leads in only one direction for now. However, the team eventually runs up to a crossroad, with one path leading left and the other right. Emmanuel should let Poochy follow the smell from Meggie's chipped tooth. As you immediately pursue, she could not have gone far. If you keep at it, you might find her smashing some more trees and absorbing their energy too.

"Haha, as great as the last time! Let's hear an applause for Emilee!" Cass sets his guitar down and bows, while Emilee hopefully does the same. "Y'know, time really flies in a place like this, wouldn't ya agree? It goes almost as fast as a...SPY!!! A-HA!" Cass turns in the direction from where he felt the pair of eyes burning themselves into the back of his skull and throws a pebble that got into his sandals earlier at whoever is there, assuming a comically vigilant attempt at an intimidating pose with his hands raised above his hands. There, however, as his pebble flies and falls harmlessly, completely and utterly missing its target, he spotted a bush of painfully blue hair that was going anything but actually fitting into the crowd. Because it was goddamn neon blue. "And whaddayasay, 'tis really a spy. Huh. Wasn't actually expecting anyone to be there." Crossing his hands, he raises an eyebrow and grins. "Well then. Come join us."

"A-ha! So you do know, but are just unwilling to admit your mighty statue-person's house was built upon heaps of liiiiiies!!!" Klaren strikes a victorious pose with his fist up, grinning widely, before Rosalyva disrupts him. "Lilyyyyy...." He pouts. "Iunno, have Lou go." He shrugs in response, pointing at Luka whatever he was doing.

"Well that's not nice. What kinda rumors though?" Cass proceeds to ask the man while taking a sip of his own drink. He was sort of feeling like they were being watched, but he attributed it to the paranoia caused by Emilee's possible stalking, so he dismissed it as well. "Hey, 'neeways, since we're all here, Emilee! Howabaoutya sing that song again, aye? Imma play for ya."

Georgey sighs and rolls over to his back. "Ow..." He then realizes that he is still in his armor, so he sits up, pulls the upper part off and throws it to the side. "You might want to clean that up too..." He says to the man cleaning up, all the while picking his nose.

GROUP 2 (TAYLOR, DESMOND, KALVA) The girl turns to Taylor and looks him over. She seems confused for a moment, perhaps by his odd dressup, or perchance something else, but she shrugs and focuses on Meggie again. She was her priority. "Noooo, Meggie isn't mine. I mean, I keep her at my house but....she was a Gabite when I got her. I really don't know much about how to battle...Murki does most of the work..." She says, clasping her hands together on her chest. The pouch she carries jingles as if something inside hits something else inside. Murki lets out yet another bawk in confirmation of the girl's words. Meggie is still trashing. You can hear audible gasps from the girl. She flinches as she hears Desmond and addresses him without turning around. "I-I don't know how you could help...I don't know...There's no other humans around here...no one to help us...ah-what're you doing!?" The sudden appearance of Emmanuel and Poochy alerts the girl as they approach Meggie from the other side. She also reacts to Kalva throwing dirt at her. "S-stop it!!! Meggie doesn't like getting dirt on herself! That's why she couldn't live underground! S-S-ah!!!" Meggie, angered by Poochy's attempts to neutralize her by throwing dirt at her, directs her rage at the young pup. Poochy's eyes grow wide with fear. Meggie has [Fountain of Life]; Meggie recovered some HP. *CONFUSION RULING* The Gabite turns at Poochy, readying another slash attack. However, as she tries to swing at her, sharp pain shoots through her head, causing her to yelp in pain, miss her attack, and start thrashing against the ground again. The Mystery Girl turns at Emmanuel and Poochy with teary eyes filled with anger. She runs over towards the raging Meggie, while her Murkrow flies up and showers the Gabite in black feathers which catch onto her, reducing her thrashing. The Mystery Girl, without any fear, throws herself at the Gabite as she rages, catching her in an embrace around her neck. "MEGGIE, STOP!" However, angered as she was, Meggie does not comply. Having been dirtied and assaulted and confused, she didn't know where to go and what to wish for. So she shook the Mystery Girl off herself, throwing her by the side. Meanwhile, she roared again and ran off into the trees on the other side from which she came, crushing them as she passed through. "GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...." [COMBAT RESOLVED] You got 0 Exp You got 0 EP Emmanuel received an item: Gabite Tooth At Emmanuel's foot, he find part of a carnivorous tooth that the Gabite had likely splintered as she thrashed around. Maybe Poochy would be able to follow the scent? Not now, however...the poor puppy is trembling beyond control. You can hear the Mystery Girl sniffling as she gets up. She almost falls right back down, seeing as that fall must've hurt a lot. ... You wonder if you should approach her...she could be really mad with you. Also, you don't like the way her Murkrow eyes all of you as it perches on the Girl's shoulder. (OOC: GROUP 1 has joined with GROUP 2)

"Guys here said she got married shortly after kicking the poor guy." Cass sat next to Emilee, gestured for another pint and drank a bit more. "And hell, the guy who wanted to marry her actually was from a rivalling family, so no romantic fantasy stuff there. 'Twas something that's gotta do with the Romani family's famous brew, right?" He looked over at the men at the bar for confirmation. "Some Baron dude from the north." "Other than that, there was something about some holy lady murdering someone. Tell us about that." Cass nudges the men to tell 'em more about it.

"Huh, coincidence? So were ya here from before or just came? I mean, these folks said you've been...'eyeing' me for a while now. Why didn't ya come to say hi or something?" Cass looks at the girl confusedly. Was she always this scatterbrained? Or was she faking it? But why in the world would she follow him from the shadows? Unless... "...akh-!" No way, no way, she couldn't have been. Nope. It was too early for that. Definitely. But unless that was the case...why would she follow him? Unless she was telling the truth and hadn't noticed him. He shook his head and sighed. "Nah, whatever it is, nevermind. Come join us or something, we're talking about some big ass jerk who got shot down by the Romani family daughter. It's pretty entertaining." Cass gestures for Emilee to come sit with them at the bar.

"Hah. Roman. Romani." Cass grins before downing the rest of the mug. Except he doesn't manage to down it all. Instead, he chokes after a long gulp as the man nudges him and tells him about the certain lady. Cass turns his head around to see who it is, but he already knows the answer. "EMILEE!?"

"Church lady and murder? Hah! And the other part! That's rich!" Cass laughs along the others. "I totally get the guy though. Who wouldn't wanna get their hands on somethin' as good as this!" He holds his mug up before bringing it to his lips. He then adds. "Who is the Baron guy anyways? Some big shot around here?" After wiping the foam off his face with his one sleeve, he raised a brow to the guy. "Mmmm, oh right, yes, I'm a traveling musician. I've gone all across the isles, so it ain't a surpise you haven't seen something like this."

"Finally!" Free drinks? Hell yeah! "I shouldn't have even gone to that stupid store, ha!" He salutes the gentlemen at the bar before walking over, setting his guitar to the side and ordering one up himself. He'd chug it down immediately. "So what're ye talking about?" He tries to join their conversation. Meanwhile, he'd order another drink.

Cass looks the specialized Bard mechandise over for a moment, turns around and walks out of the store. "Nope." He mutters, turning towards one of the taverns and entering it.

Georgey would certainly not want to go rest in the barracks. The floor was good enough. And not like the distand hoove-sounds bothered him. So he stays on the floor, only really shifting slowly and laying on the side, with an arm under his head.

"Money, money, sweet money, haha!" Cass walked off the ship, tossing one of the beautifully beautiful Vespers he'd gotten practically from nothing from these people. 3,000 was way better than 300, that much was certain. What to spend it on, tho? "Hmmm?" He puts a hand on his chin, ruffling a couple strands of his beard. "I sure wouldn't wanna spend 'em on something I'd only use to help these guys." He mumbles a bit too loudly, not really giving a crap. "Ale, then? Or something else?" He walks towards the general store. Later, he'd prolly head over to the tavern. A couple of hours was hella' lot of time. He'd need to eventually play for Idei. Tsk, all these unthough-through promises were gonna be the end of him.

GROUP 1 (EMMANUEL, RADOVAN, SENA, SHELLY, KAI, ANTHONY) Shelly and others could continue down the path that lead off the clearing. The closer they got, it would be easier for them to discern that it was indeed a Gabite and that it was thrashing around on the road. There were also two figures visible near it now, but they're standing idly and the Pokemon isn't targeting them at the moment. "Ahhhhh-! If you can, you should hurry! Gabite are really dangerous and we don't know if your friends have any Pokemon with them to defend themselves!!!" Ray answers immediately. Her worry is apparent in her tone.

GROUP 1 (EMMANUEL, RADOVAN, SENA, SHELLY, KAI, ANTHONY) The Carbink would follow Anthony wherever he went. Poochy doesn't seem to want to go towards the Gabite, but...she will follow Emmanuel. Meanwhile, Shelly's A-Comm buzzes: "Can you hear me? A sudden burst of energy disrupted the signal, but it should be fine now! We're reading a massive Class-B Pokemon energy signature somewhere in the direction of the rest of your friends! They might be in danger! If you have Pokemon as you say you do, move and help them!!!" It's Ray again. She seems really panicked. "Oh boy, oh boy...where's the Prez..." Group 1 can't yet reach Group 2. However, they see and hear the Gabite and its red aura in the distance. GROUP 2 (TAYLOR, DESMOND, KALVA) As Kalva carelessly approaches the Gabite, he disturbs it during its...feeding (?) time. The Gabite immediately looks in the direction of the footsteps and sees the boy. "GYAAAAAAAAAABITE!!!!!" Player v Boss combat initiated! It's a Gabite!!! Turn Order: Gabite -> Kalva Gabite has [Fountain of Life]; its stats went up!!! Music: This is what we've trained for... Gabite (F), Lv 17 HP: #################### ATK: 134 DEF: 84 SP.ATK: 76 SP.DEF: 81 SPE: 113 Nature: Lonely (+ATK, -DEF) Ability: --- Moves: Slash (PP: 19/20), --- The Gabite lets out a roar before dashing directly at Kalva. Faster than the blink of an eye, Kalva would get slashed apart by its sharp fins...had not a flash of light from somewhere above suddenly stunned the Gabite, sending it writhing to the side, missing Kalva by quite a distance as it got blinded. "Murki, Confuse Ray!" ???'s [Awakening] is in effect; Murkibyte can utilize its Hidden Ability!!! *ACTION RULING* The creature groans as it tramples around, smashing itself against the ground and hurting itself in its frenzy. Meanwhile, a black-feathered bird swoops down from above, carrying along a...girl? They land between Kalva and Gabite, turned towards the Pokemon. "Meggie! What're you doing!? Stop, please!!!" The girls exclaims, looking at the Gabite. She seems distressed, as if watching the Pokemon in hurt brings her pain as well. Also, she addressed the Gabite by a nickname. The Murkrow looks over at Kalva, perching on the girl's shoulder. It eyes him for a moment. "Kro-!!!" It cries out, attracting the girl's attention. She turns around and sees Kalva. "Oh, p-people? I haven't seen any other people here.......I hope you're not here to hurt Meggie! She's a good girl! She's just...I don't know what happened...I made her some of the life extract because she got hurt by some new Pokemon that I've never seen...but then she grew and started breaking everything! Ohhhhh I must've made too much...it's all my fault! Maggie, I'm sorry!" HP: #################### (OOC: Everyone is free to post. The Turn Order is cancelled for now.)

Georgey looks at the man and frowns slightly, but more out of confusion that anything else. He then pulls out some ruffled scrolls from his pockets and raises them for the man to look at. He'd let the man take them off his hands and walk around the room or something as he read. Not like Georgey cared much. They're scrolls containing notes and drawings of various medicinal herbs generally found around the area. "Mmmm." He then pulls out a couple of books from god knows where behind his back and lets Lucius have them too. More medicinal reading material. Georgey crosses his hands and yawns again, waiting for it all to sink in.

'Pleased to make your acquaintance'? They already knew each others' names...so they counted as acquaintances, right? Maybe. Then his hand-shaking gesture would also be seen as odd. Oh well. Georgey nods at the man and follows him with his eyes as he starts walking around. Ok, so he could go back to resting...or not. "Hmmm? I'unno." He answers briefly when Lucius returns with a question. "Have you?"

"..." Georgey raises an eyebrow and tilts his head up just enough to be able to glance at the man standing before him. He wasn't particularly concerned about shifts, so he was fine if he got to be the Day Shift. He'd also have been fine being the Night Shift. So long as he could rest the other half of the day. "Mmmmm." He responds confirmingly. Was he supposed to hand this man a hand, though? He was looking at him kind of expectantly... Georgey extends a hand to the man, still sitting down though, of course.

"Whooooosh-!" Klaren jumped and held his fist up towards the sky, mirroring the insignia on the alleged Ironhand house symbol, not caring much about how loudly he'd exclaimed his little vocalization of excitement. Or maybe it was boredom? He already knew all of this. Bla-bla, Ironhands, bla-bla Sergius...the only fun part was that they were actually walking around the city and seeing it all for themselves. So perhaps he was vocalizing both of these emotions at the same time? Like, he yelled 'cause he wanted to interrupt the tour-lady but he chose to say 'whoooosh' because he was actually happy? Mayhaps indeed. "They had to have been really cool if they used their house symbol as a forge!" He added, putting a finger on his chin innocently, now that he'd probably attracted some attention onto himself. He grinned for a moment, his eyes glinting against the daylight as he first crossed his hands around his waist before stretching one out and pointing at the lady. "But you're wrong-!" The volume of Klaren's voice seemed to only raise with every word he said. "There was actually a survivor of the Ironhand lineage! Well...sorta. Tell us about Erik Pyre if you dare!" ...you eeevil possible-shopping-mate stealing lady!!!

Georgey, unimpressed by the officer's speech, unfazed by the unwelcomeness of the Watchtower's exterior and untouched by his comrades' introductions, but very much tired from having to wake up so early for the last couple o' weeks or so and now made to carry all this heavy gear on himself, walks inside of the building, yawns, waves lazily, and sits on the floor. "...nah."
