Fortree - two days ago

Fletcha: "So Blitz sent a fairly large and detailed text, it'll just be easier if I show you at this point."

-He shows Gogie the text Blitz sent him-

Fortree

-Gogie notices the Espeon staring at them-

Gogie: "..."

-to Ghostus- "Okay, we really need to get better
at not talking about this kind of thing
in the open, especially since I'm
vulnerable to Psychic types right now."

Ghostus: <This isn't really going to stop this, you know.>

Fortree, two days ago

-Gogie reads, taking a bit, but seems to understand after-

Gogie: "Okay, that doesn't sound too bad, honestly."

Though I should have guessed that from my own kids.

"Tell him thanks?"

Klaus: <Oh, don't worry. I think I can guess which group you're involved with, and I happen to be involved as well.>

(This is said without a hint of anything other than straightforward honesty.)

Fortree - two days ago

Fletcha: "Already did." -He smiles-

"So, uh, hmm... -he thinks-

"Anything I could help you with, since you're a new trainer and all, even though I'm also pretty new...?"

Greetings from Santa Fe, where I'm visiting my on-a-trip sister, brother-in-law, and nephews. The wifi here sucks ass.

Renscape

-Dune continues to watch, no longer attempting to draw attention to himself after taking the nasty blow from before.-

Fortree

Dune: So, Dezi, you think you could take another look at my helmet?

Deziree: Why would I need to take another look at your helmet?

Dune: Well it's... damn, nearly two years old now? I figured you'd have made some advancements when it came to that sort of metallurgy.

Deziree: Dune, even if that were true, I'd need to strip the additions of the helmet down to it's base structure if I wanted to add any more onto it - any more weight onto it and you'll break your neck wearing it!

Dune: ... But you're a Magnezone. Don't you do that all the time?

Deziree: ...

Dune: ... You forgot, didn't you?

Deziree: HAVING BOOBS IS DISTRACTING, OKAY?!

Fortree

-Gogie sighs-

Gogie: "Well, that's good."

Ghostus: <You one of those guys who joined last year?>

Fortree, two days ago

Gogie: "Uh, I don't know, really.
Nothing comes to mind now."

Fortree - two days ago

Fletcha: "Ok, just wondering..."

-He struggles to think of anything else to talk about-

Mt.Pyre - Past

The Shuppets giggle in amusement before phasing through the ceiling.

"Well. This is going to be fun." said Lyuri, not looking particularly excited.

"Guess we'll be facing some ghosts in the way up. Let's go then." said Duke.

The couple then starts heading upstairs.

Striation

-man, woman and plush Espeon all sit for refreshments-

Munn: ...

Joseph: So, Aunt Carol, how's Bianca's heart medication doing?

Carol: Oh, it's going just fine! I just need to put a pill in her food every meal, and she deals with it! It was a pain and a half getting her to take it at first, though.

Munn: ...

Joseph: Oh, I can imagine. She's always been a stubborn one, that Bianca.

Carol: Definitely. Did I tell you when I first got her, I tried to get her to battle and she refused? She's a very strict pacifist, you know.

Joseph: Yeah, that reminds me of the Umbreon of one of my friends. He really likes Eeveelutions, maybe he'd like Bianca!

Munn: ...

Joseph: So, has Bianca considered maybe...y'know, finding a mate? Wouldn't you want more Eevees about the house?

Carol: Oh, no thank you! Bianca's been with me since I was a little girl, and she will stay with me until one of us goes. Bianca's more than enough for me, thank you.

Munn: ...

Carol: Aren't you going to eat that muffin, dear? You've been holding it in your hand for ten minutes and you haven't eaten it.

Munn: Huh? Oh, it's nothing, I was just stuffi-I mean, staring into space. Y'know, thinking about stuffin-I mean, stuff. I've always been something of a plushi-I mean, philosopher...

Carol: Oh? Well, then it's wonderful that my lovely nephew found a boy that thinks really deep thoughts!

-a pause-

Carol: Oh, Bianca! Don't be so rude!

Munn: What'd she say?

Carol: She just asked what's so amazing about really deep thoughts.

Munn: Eh? Your plushi-er, Espeon's quoting song lyrics at me?

Bianca: ...

Carol: Oh, you're just too funny, Bianca...!

Munn: Huh?

Carol: She said that perhaps you could figure out what she meant if you thought hard enough.

Munn: Hey, is that a shot at my intelligence?

Bianca: ...

-Carol looks admonishingly at Bianca-

Carol: Now, that was a bit uncalled for.

Munn: What?!

Carol: She said yes!

-Munn points angrily at Bianca-

Munn: Hey. I might look all buff and muscled, but I'm not stupid! I don't have to sit here and listen to anyone tell me that I'm dumb, especially not an Es...

-the realization is dawning-

Munn: ...am I getting into an argument with a plushie?

Bianca: ...

Near Mezzo, Past

-Joseph listens to the music and blinks-

Joseph: Hee hee hee he...hee...hee...

-blinks. His eyes are back to blue-

Joseph: What on earth am I doing wearing this green shirt?

Mt. Pyre - past

Fletcha: "Yeah, looks as such."

-He follows while still sticking very close to Skarlet-

Fortree City, near Joseph, a few days ago

Mezzo: Oh, thank Arceus, you're back to normal.

Xel'lotath: <The experiment was a failure, then. No worries. We shall find more use for yo—>

-Mezzo recalls Xel'lotath before she can finish-

Mezzo: Nope, I think I've had enough dealing with you today.

Fortree City, now

-Mezzo is talking to her mother on the phone-

Mia: I told you so!

Mezzo: Okay, okay, so you were right. Thank you for that.

Mia: You're very welcome, my dear daughter.

Mt Pyre - Past

Upon reaching the second floor there seems to be... Nothing but graves.

"Okay now this is just eerie." said Lyuri, looking around "Those ghosts must be up to something."

"<They're probably just trying to psyche us out.>" said Zack, looking unfazed

"Or maybe they're trying to set up a trap." said Duke, then looking at the stairs to the second floor "How many floors does this place have?" he asked Fletcha.

Fortree

-Dune finds his meal of a peanut butter sandwich interrupted by a package being dropped into his lap.-

Galvani: <There ya gooo~>

*BZZZZZZZZZZZZZAP!*

Dune: Hm?

-Dune opens the package, revealing a black metal-and-gold filigree helmet with a lamp placed on the front of it.-

Dune: Woah.

Deziree: Fixed it up, using much the same techniques I used on Psyche's leg brace and the Snag Machines, as well as some notes Celebrimbor left at the airship that Mobius found for me.

Dune: You... beautiful woman who would live in my house.

Deziree: It's what I do~

Dune: Say... what happened to Celebrimbor, anyway?

Deziree: I dunno. He was still wandering Hoenn, last I heard.

Mt. Pyre - past

Fletcha: "Let's see...if I remember correctly there are four floors, with an opening to go outside on the third one."

Skarlet: <Yes, they could be waiting to ambush us on a higher floor.>

-Fletcha starts to get a little nervous-

Fletcha: "Yeah, and I agree. we should be ready for anything, including the possibility of a trap."

Striation

-having finished refreshments, Joseph and Munn started work on moving some of Carol's stuff. Most of the stuff has been packed up and stowed away under the watchful eyes of Carol and Bianca, but only the stuff in the basement remain-

Joseph: Oh, come on! You're being wholly irrational about this.

Munn: Oh really? If she's not a maniac, then why does she have seven different kinds of melon ballers? What sane person has that many different kinds?

Joseph: She has poor buyer's impulse, and she watches QVC, OK?

Munn: And the books on how to sew your own Hazmat suit?

Joseph: Yard sale find.

Munn: And the Magic 8 Ball that tells you the likelihood of your death on that particular day?

Joseph: Gag gift from a very morbid friend.

Munn: And the fact that she treats a damned plushie like her starter Pokemon?!

Joseph: Shoosh! Don't speak so loud. Anyway, we just need to pack up the basement, and that'll be easy.

Munn: Oh, sure, nothing incriminating in the basement!

Joseph: Oh, please. She just like tchotchkes!

Munn: Hmmmph...fine. If all we have to deal with is knickknacks, I think I'm...

-they open the door and are greeted with a wall of nothing◊ but these◊ posters◊ of paintings◊-

Munn: ...

Joseph: ...!

Munn: Joseph, sugar? I think we're going to die here...

Joseph: Oh, don't be silly. They're adorable!

Munn: ...WHAT?!

Fortree, two days ago

Gogie: "Well... you say you're a new trainer?
What kind of Pokemon do you have?"

Mt.Pyre - Past

"Only four floors huh? Let's keep going then and try to keep ourselves alert. The Sableye is probably on the fourth floor by now." said Duke

He then begins heading up again

"This place looks different since last time I came here." said Lyuri, looking around as she followed behind him.

Indeed, the Duskull has brought the Sableye all the way up to the fourth floor.

"<Well well, the others are likely going to drive those humans away. I'd say you're pretty safe from them right now.>" he said.

Fortree - two days ago

Fletcha: "A Goomy, Torkoal, Skarmory, and Sableye."

-He sends out Brandon-

"This is Brandon, my starter."

Brandon: <Hi there!>

Mt. Pyre - past

-Fletcha and Skarlet continue to follow, staying alert for any spooky ghosties-

Fletcha: -to Lyuri- "Oh, you've been here before?"

"All I know about Mt. Pyre is from a school assignment, this is the first time I've been here."

Sableye: <Thanks for that...>

<Though I hope they don't get too badly hurt, all I want for them is to be gone...>

Mt.Pyre - Past

"Yeah. Not because anybody died or something, just out of curiosity." said Lyuri

"<They shouldn't get too hurt unless they're really stubborn.>" said the Duskull, then looking at the Mega Stone the Sableye was carrying "<So, what are you going to do with that? It doesn't look healthy to eat it... Though you're a being that lives out of eating gems so that probably wouldn't make a difference.>"

Fortree, two days ago

Gogie: "Uh, hey. Nice to meet you, Brandon."

Mt. Pyre - past

Fletcha: "Huh, doesn't seem like the nicest place to explore to me, but I can understand why someone would... to each their own." -he shrugs-

Sableye: <I don't know, I think maybe I'll still try to eat it...>

-and the Sableye does so, but finds that it's too hard to chew and probably doesn't taste good regardless-

<Bleh... Well now I don't know what to do with it.> -sigh-

Fortree - past

Brandon: <Nice to meet you too, whoever you are.> -he smiles-

Fletcha: "My parents caught him while we were vacationing in Kalos, we became good friends and now he's my starter."

"What about you, how did you come by Hazard's egg?"

Fortree, two days ago

Gogie: "Oh, I got it from Tori, actually."

Fortree - two days ago

Fletcha: "Ahh, duh, that makes total sense..."

"Have you known Tori for a while or something?"

Fortree, two days ago

Gogie: "Uh, no, just a month, really."

Fortree - two days ago

Fletcha: "Alright, just wondering..." -shrugs-

-thinks-

"I know the J-Team definitely isn't the most normal of groups...do you have any fun stories of crazy shenanigans with them?"
