Alyesha: "Thanks~ And I'm happy to hear. Seeing others smile after eating my food feels really good, that's why I started my journey instead of becoming a paleontologist like my parents."
Matvey chuckled as he heard that

Chapter 13: Pit Stop
-The ship lands within view of a castle-like structure-
-Ammy and Mia exit first-
Mia: <...Ammy?>
Human!Ammy: ...Yeah?
Mia: <Is Umbra your... mate?>
Human!Ammy: -blinks, rubs back of head- Well, um, sorta. I'm due to be. I'm... becoming his mate as a human and humans have a lot of rules about doing that compared to Pokemon.
Mia: <...Why do they?>
Human!Ammy: ...I don't know, really. A lot of humans consider that kind of love extra-special, I guess.
Mia: <That's stupid. It doesn't seem like it's special, just different. Is that why Sickle was afraid you forgot about her?>
Human!Ammy: ...
-sighs-
Pretty much... I felt awful when I realized it...
Mia: <But you still loved her and she had nothing to worry about though.>
Human!Ammy: Yeah, I mean, of course, but...
-looks off a bit-
If people and Pokemon are that worried I don't care about them in favor of Umbra, I'm worried too... I mean, he is the main person I spend my time with, but I try to focus on others and I worry I do it enough...
Mia: <Well, is he your mate over anyone else for a reason? Why is he different?>
Human!Ammy: ...
...That's... A good question... I'd say we'd been through a lot together, but I could argue that for others too...
-shakes her head-
I just... don't know right now... We just need to focus on finding him before it's too late...
-she walks off. Mia stares quizzically after-
Chaletwo Pimp Ship
Arika: ...So yeah, I basically inadvertently turned myself into a gemsona before gemsonas were cool.
-Dave's expression is decidedly unamused
◊-
Dave: ...So you're telling me you're a magic-wish-granting necklace with a extra human soul that turned itself human via a cosmic loophole. That's ridiculous even by your J-Team's standards.
Arika: -shrugs her shoulders and suit claws- Eh, I've heard worse. And you've seen some of it yourself, Poochyenasona man.
Dave: -grits his teeth- ...Let's go outside.
-He, Arika, and Nandi do so and meet up with Ammy and Mia-
Dave: Alright, let's get going.
-they head over to the castle-
If we wanna get any help with this map or get to that Rextance that's messing with the First Disorder Maz Katana's our best bet.
Arika: I'm assuming she's trustworthy?
Dave: Enough to run this watering hole longer than her species usually lives. She's kinda persnickety so let me do the talking. And don't stare.
Human!Ammy: At what?
Dave: ...Any of it.
-They enter to find a wretched hive of scum and villainy a bustling bar-like place with spacemons engaged in various activities-
-Amidst it all, however, a more Pokearth-y mon - a Medicham with large goggles - turns around at the sound of incoming visitors and glares at the group-
Maz: <David Ambrose!>
-everything comes to a screeching halt-
Dave: Ah shit.
-Maz lopes over to them, then smiles when she sees Mia, activity around them resuming-
Maz: <Heya kid. Keeping Dave in line?>
Mia: <I am.>
Maz: <Good. Always liked you, Mia.>
Mia: <Thanks.>
Maz: -to Dave- <I assume you need something. Desperately. Follow me.>
-She leads them off; in the process, however, an Ampharos and Glitch Clefable in the bar notice Nandi-
Ampharos: -into a communicator- <Hey! Rextance guys! We found our Mantine!>
Clefable: -chuckles; into her own- <First Disorder? The Mantine has landed.>

Alyesha still leaned on the counter
Alyesha: "You wanted to be a paleontologist? Cool, might have to talk to my parents at some point, I'm sure they would appreciate to talk a bit~"
She smiled before looking kinda lost in her thoughts, after a while she spoke up again
Alyesha: "Oh, and I'm sorry to tell... but this foodstand is my business... so sadly I can't give you free meals everytime... though... *chuckle* this time I'll make another exception... and I think I can give you a nice discount for later."

Route 210, several hours later
-Walking towards the bend that leads to Veilstone-
It's such a nice day today, just me, my mons... and my hanger-ons. Sheesh guys, I didn't think I'd be that interesting to hang around.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
Hajime: "Uh, maybe, yeah."
"Though, you don't need to do that, really, I was planning on paying."

Alyesha gave hearthy laugh
Alyesha: "Haha, I never complain about paying customers, but I'm also a girl of my word. Tell you what? How about we meet in the middle and I give you a 50% discount on the meal?"
Yuri: <Hehe, seems you got yourself a friend in Alyesha... well she always liked folks who treat their team with kindess and respect, doubly so if she can talk to them a little bit... so I'm not surprised.>

Hey, apologies for the minor server issues we've been having lately, we appear to have fixed them and wrangled up all the pesky gremlins eating them for some appropriate punishment. o3o
So in apology, we'd like to invite 4 lucky players to join us for a special bonus dungeon! Sign up quick, space is limited, and after all, Psyche's waiting. o3o
Once again, sorry we couldn't get more out to you, but hey... It's better than nothing, right?

Since finally letting us do something instead of taunting us, will join in for this if available space.

-A certain blonde is looking at her phone-
Tori: "Seriously, how are these texts happening?"
Gee, I was hoping if the plugs stayed pulled I wouldn't have to may my monthly fees.
Guess I'll just have to see if it was worth it

Alyesha looked to Yuri who quickly typed in something into his cash register, after which 250 Pen showed up on it... it was one of these old style ones you would see in those small and cozy corner stores.
Alyesha: "Twohun- *chuckle* Seems Yuri was faster than me again~"

The four peoplemons that responded all promptly fall asleep and arrive in a small town. It's night time, and it's a full moon out tonight. The people inside are all acting... very strange.

-Tori arrives/appears here. However it is when they suddenly poof into being in this place-
-She's still got that cactus, somehow... And that fancy black low-cut dress from last time now reveals a scar running from the middle of her chest to somewhere near her left shoulder-
-Unfortunately, potted cacti aren't very useful for hiding behind while she looks around-
Tori: "Why did I think this was a good idea again?"

-Maria looks the same as ever.-
-Sees Tori-
...stoooop staring. No. Bad Maria. That cutely scarred chest is Lane's
-Beat-
-Facepalm-
I mean...oh geeze, just shut up me...
Only 250 with the steak too?
Hajime: "Alright, then..."
-He gets out the requisite Pen and pays Yuri with it-
-Hyp wakes up here and picks up the spear at his side-
Hyp: <Well, guess got picked for this.>
-He looks around-
<And others here too.>

-Skye arrives in a flurry of frustrated profanity, wearing the same outfit as before. She cringes as the wound in her arm begins to bleed out again.-
Skye: Ugh... Let's just get whatever the hell this is over with.
-She sees Tori and blinks-
Skye: ...Your scar matches Sarah and Kieran's. What happened?

The inhabitants of the town mostly ignore the crew, though one shifty-eyed saleswoman glances at Skye.

Sergey: "So... you got into a battle?"
Loran just fell silent for a moment
Sergey: "Don't worry... I'm not mad at you."
A small nod
Sergey: "Did you... like it?"
Loran: <No, it all hurt and wasn't fun. Well... it was kinda...>
Mireille: ~Seems not too much but at least a bit, it hurts.~
Sergey: "I can see that... but if that is your only problem... I think I can help you..."
He rumaged in his pockets and after a while found the thing he was looking for
Sergey: "That is called 'Protect'... if you do that nothing will hurt... well one attack anyway... but better than nothing."
Loran: <Really?>
Mireille nodded
Loran: <Fwiend, fwiend!>
Mireille: ~*giggle* I would say he wants to learn the move.~
