ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-The Larvitar is about to respond to Etran, but hears Eggshell's comment and gives a doubtful glance in response-

Near Lake Acuity

-We've been putting this off long enough.-

-The group stumbles upon an area that seems more or less untouched by humans for a long time. Water from both Lake Acuity and the ocean has drained into a snowy landscape, creating a smaller lake of its own. Although civilization seems to have abandoned this place, there are still signs of one having existed in the past — based on the ruins visible in the area.-

-Some Bergmite are visible in the area, as are a few Piloswine with ice frozen to their backs, forming a sort of shell. For the most part, everything seems peaceful.-

-Except, y'know, the fact that there are traces of glitches everywhere, causing several platforms to float in the air. Additionally, this is way further north than those caves should have logically taken everyone to.-

Duniree's Room

-The door swings open, a welder's face plate shoving out from the door's crack.-

Deziree: Jason! You're here! EXCELLENT!

Duniree's Room

-Jason waves-

Jason:Yooooo. Yep, just had a little distraction.

-He indicates Deftarm, who's scuttling about-

@Hearthome@@

Eggshell: <Okay, maybe I am stronger than the baby I was, but still.>

Etran:Um, s-sorry. I didn't mean to offend.

Duniree's Room

-Deziree lifts up her face plate. Despite the protection, it looks like she took a swim in a bathtub filled with soot and motor oil and cleaned herself with an Emboar's fur.-

Deziree: D'aaaw, he's adorable! Anyway, come on in! I need to get cleaned up, but everything else is ready!

=Mt. Coronet, Past=

Zachary: "With my Pokémon? I'm sure I can make it to Eterna in no time, and don't worry about not being able to help me directly, I won't think of you any lesser because of it, directions are just fine really, though i'd really appreciate the first aid if that's no bother to you, Tex"

Venomous: <Pretty cold here...>

Wirrbelle: <It is curious how we got here, though.>

-The Larvitar gives an eh/it's fine gesture-

Old Chateau, 40 minutes until sunset

-Huet seemed to perk up at this, quickly scribbling down the answer-

Huet: Yeah! That sounds right! Okay, next one! Okay it says... "Mad scientist constructs a monster and brings him to life" Oooooh, this one actually sounds kinda cool!

Duniree's Room

Jason:Alright then.

-He walks in-

Deftarm:<Click Click Hm? Metalmask has business with Onearm?>

Jason:Yeah. You gonna nickname everyone?

-Deftarm nods-

Outside the MTT Resort

(From somewhere beside Iggy comes a deep yet friendly voice.)

sans: <hey, kid.>

Old Chateau, 40 minutes until sunset

(Simon throws up his arms in exasperation.)

Simon: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley! Come on, challenge me a little here!

-Mezzo shivers-

Mezzo: <Looks like we're close to Snowpoint.>

Hearthome

Etran: Alright then. Is there anything else you need?

Eggshell:< He's still talking...>

Hearthome

Mimmy: Oooooh, no. Nononononono. No.

Benvolio: <If you want all the money in the card, you have to.>

Mimmy: But-but-but-

Benvolio: <Don't blame me. I didn't throw it out.>

Mimmy: But I don't wanna dive into a dumpster to find a stupid card!

Benvolio: <Well, you should have kept a closer eye on it, then. Chop-chop!>

-Mimmy looks at the dumpster. She looks down at her lovely dress. Then back at the dumpster-

Mimmy: Iiiiiiiii doooooooon't waaaaaaaannaaaaaaa...

-she sucks her teeth in and, gingerly, starts to sort through the dumpster. She makes faces as though she's trying to pull a wrist watch out of someone's intestines-

Mimmy: Little help here, Ben?

Benvolio: <Again, I didn't throw it away.>

-Mimmy shuts her eyes, briefly imagines something very painful, and responds-

Mimmy: I know you wanna teach me a lesson or whatever, but I'd really appreciate it if you sorted through it to make sure that I don't scratch myself on a rusty needle or something. Can you do that?

Benvolio: <...very well.>

-he shuts his eyes and concentrates. The dumpster glows purple, and reorders itself-

<All sharp objects are safely out of your reach.>

Mimmy: Thanks, B-eeeeeeuuuuugh...

-she sees the massive pile of wet, sticky, nasty garbage that the card is in-

Mimmy: ...welp.

-with the expression of a zombie infectee making one last stand to protect her group from the horde, she climbs up, carefully, and breathes in-

Mimmy: Now or never.

-there is a loud squelch, and a stream of filthy Kalosian swear words-

center:Crawling in my Sins: Have a character do something that they hate.]]

Outside the MTT resort

Iggy:Oh! Hi mr. Sans! :D

-She skips over-

Whatcha doin?

Kalos, abandoned concert hall, past

-The Sunny Day illuminates the room.-

-The person in the center of the room is now more obviously Lanie-ish. It is also clear by the unnatural position she's in that her legs are very broken, and there's an X-shaped scar on her face, cutting straight through her eyes.-

Zeal: Mel...

-There is also a Munna hiding in the corner of the room, though it's remaining in the most shadowy area and Zeal hasn't noticed it.-

-The Larvitar shakes his head and starts heading off-

Sholto: <...What did he do to you?>

-He doesn't notice the Munna yet-

Kalos, abandoned concert hall, past

-Lanie doesn't give much of a response, as she's still just chanting to stop over and over. Zeal looks down.-

Zeal: ...What do we do?

Duniree's Room

-Deziree giggles.-

Deziree: And he continues to be adorable. Wait here while I go clean up!

-She bounces off to the bathroom. Dune is leaning back in a chair at the end of the room, which is conspicuously dominated by a large white plastic canvasing and what appears to be a dentist's chair with a modified armrest and headrest. I should have probably mentioned that part first, huh?-

Code Talker: <Ah, I see we have more than one guest. Welcome. I am Code Talker, anesthesiologist and assistant today. I will be able to manually turn off and on your neural pathways for just long enough to allow both Deziree and Dr. Mobius to attach whichever appendage you so desire.>

-A Metagross drops down from the ceiling with surprising gentleness.-

DR. MOBIUS!: <What arm have you CHOSEN today?!>

Sholto: <Mm...>

-He then notices the Munna-

<Uh, hey, do you know Lanie?>

Kalos, abandoned concert hall, past

-The Munna cowers, psychically broadcasting its fear.-

Zeal: Who's...

-Zeal sees the Munna.-

Oh, that Munna! Yeah, that's Mel's.

Duniree's Room

Jason:Woah...really goin' all ou-

-Sudden MOBIUS!-

Gyah!

-He jumps-

U-U-Uhm...the S-Snagger...for now. ._.

Deftarm:<Onearm scares easily. Then why does Onearm come to room of Metalmask and friend?>

Duniree's Room

DR. MOBIUS!: <Ah, a DURANT! WELCOME! Your people once knew me as THUNDERVOICE! Perhaps your Storyteller knows of my last visit?>

Code Talker: <Ah, the "Snagger" model. Much room for improvement, but a solid platform for upgrades.>

-Deziree soon returns from the bathroom, dressed in a sharp white coat and gloves.-

Deziree: I heard "Snagger" mentioned! Good choice - just don't expect to feel a pea under a mattress with it.

-Sholto, being a Dark-type, completely misses the psychic broadcast-

-However, being a Heart, he does recognize the Munna's fear-

Sholto: <Hey, don't worry, we're here to get you out. We've got that guy and he can't set off any bombs either.>

I don't know the nature of the injury, so I'll pretend it's a blunt force contusion with a twisted ankle.

-Tex applies an elastic bandage around the injured ankle and under the arch of the foot several times to stabilize the pressure and reduce swelling-

Tex: "The ankle will heal in around 2 or 3 days. I can't do anything about the bruise, so once you get actual medical attention, use cold compresses for 24 hours, then altrenate between cold and heat."

The first aid merit badge is useful even when it's not being used IRL. Who knew.
