Serpent's Cage, Beach
The group has now reached the beach. In front of them is the lantern on the post. It is unlit, and swings in the wind.

Serpent's Cage, Beach
-Joseph tilts his head at the lantern-
<Oh? What's this, here?>
Serpent's Cage, Beach
<A lantern?.. Huh. Maybe we need to light it, [Zelda] style?>
To bad I don't know any fire moves yet..
off the shitsSerpent's Cage, Beach
<Red: Huh... weird.>
It seems that the lantern is... sobbing?
Serpent's Cage, Beach
-Joseph's eyes widen with concern-
<Oh?>
-he stands on his tiptoes to see what's going on-
Serpent's Cage, Beach
Okay, no setting it on fire..
<It's crying?>
off the shitsSerpent's Cage, Beach
<Red: Well, that's not creepy at all...>
The sobbing suddenly stops.
Lantern: H-hello? Is someone there?
=Veilstone=
Zachary: "Uh yeah, his name is Nack and he used to steal a lot from people and has always been making trouble for the police, so I caught it and decided to adopt it to see if I could get him to change his ways, so far I seem to be making some progress?"
Nack: <Well, I mean I have been resisting the urge to bite you time and time again so that must mean something, right?>
Ghiaccio: <Yeah, ever since that battle with Etran Nack has been....nicer, who knew fighting was the key to forming bonds with people?>
Zachary: "I'm really not sure if i'm doing this right, I haven't caught a Pokemon since years and now suddenly i'm trying to raise one that used to be a criminal, but I don't think anyone else would've wanted to take care of him so I jumped at the chance, I guess"
Serpent's Cage, Beach
-Joseph nods-
<Yes! Who are you?>
Veilstone
Sergey nodded
Sergey: "Heh, haven't actually catched one for a long time either, Loran hatched from an egg I got. He's been very nice... heh I think he can make friends with everyone."
He looked to Nack
Sergey: "So... you've been stealing huh?"
Mireille looked at Nack too

-Cid taps his desk as he drinks his coffee. A snowstorm is pounding the area outside, and the heating is straining to keep up. In response, one of Cid's Pokemon is out and about to keep the temperature up. Said Pokemon, a Volcarona, takes notice of Cid's tic.-
Baldur: <A penny for your thoughts?>
-Cid looks over at Baldur. It takes him a moment to realize the curious intent of Baldur's question, even if he couldn't understand the words themselves.-
Cid: Just thinking, Baldur. Thinking about something that I probably shouldn't.
Baldur: <Confess unto me your sinful thoughts, so that I may absolve them.>
-Cid leans back and works his jaw.-
Cid: ... What would happen if a Pokemon infected with Pokerus was Shadowed?
-Baldur blinks, and is struck silent. Cid swirls his coffee.-
Cid: I need to visit an old friend. Hector!
Kanto Institute for Toxicology and Toxicogenomics
-Bartholomew Orlandeau sifts through the reports on his desk. A possible case of mercury poisoning south of Pallet Town; slight traces found, but nothing serious. Ekans cultures from Saffron; idiots botched the collection, contaminated every single sample.-
Dr. Orlandeau: *Sigh*...
-He jumps ever so slightly as the phone on his desk beeps.-
Receptionist: Dr. Orlandeau, you have a visitor.
Dr. Orlandeau: ... I didn't have any appointments today, did I?
Receptionist: No sir. It's Dr. Bunansa.

<Why're you crying?>
off the shitsSerpent's Cage, Beach
<Red: Gah! It talks!>
The lantern sniffles.
Lantern: I'm just a lantern... I used to light a corridor in the castle... but they kicked me down here!
It starts sobbing again.
Veilstone
-Walking around-
Maybe I could try tracking down DS or something, we don't really get all that many times to talk really...

- DS is probably wandering around somewhere -
Veilstone
-Etran is wandering around with Siku and Malice behind him-
Etran: Maybe we should rematch Maylene later today.
Malice: <Agreed. I would like to see that Lucario again, and destroy him.>
Siku: <Hopefully our training these last few days has been enough, buddy.>
-They are open for interaction.-

Des pats the Lantern with one of his weird tassel thingies.
<There, there. It'll be ok. What's up in the castle?>
GIVE ME YOUR FACEVeilstone
- Notices Tagg -
Oh, Tagg! I haven't seen you or the others around recently. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places...
- Clears throat -
So, anyways, has there been any glitch activity recently that I should know about?
NEW TURN ORDER: Me, Newf, Dogs, Daydre, Uil. THANK!
Veilstone
Oh, okay... So, what have you been up to, then?
-To DS-
The usual "Weird asshole from nowhere tries to kill me and those I'm with" kinda stuff.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.Veilstone
Ah... I see.
Mireille: (to Zachary) ~Indeed, that would be me~
Mistral: <Err... H-hi>
Sergey: "Just sightseeing mostly, currently I'm thinking about doing another contest somewhen, but for now I'm content."
He looked at the Pokémon
Sergey: "Chased by the police you say?"
