At the heart of the world...
"Alright, alright...just makin' sure here." [I kinda hate the uncertainty of all this. She seems so steadfast and sure of this identity of hers...hell, one's gotta wonder if she's being shaped by forces outside of her control. Well, besides the two looming, eight-inch ones that have been travelling with us for the better part of a week. Still, she plays her part well...but it has to be her, doesn't it? It all just seems to add up...I would be less certain of it if it weren't for Finley, but again that's just a retread of old ground.]
[I find the irony of it funny...she's been, in a roundabout way, accused twice by Finley of being Jani. And I think, maybe she kinda needed this...maybe I shouldn't have gotten all aggressive about trying to pin her identity down, maybe she needed to pretend she didn't have that responsibility on her shoulder. I can only hope that she'll use this 'leaving' to get back to normal and rejoin us properly instead of masking herself behind this lie.]
"So, uhhh...ya think Scilio would have us back? Or ya think maybe they woulda gone somewhere else?"

Timeskipping...applies to everyone not in the last active scene of Day 19.
Day 20
(Morning. Is it morning? Yesterday seemed to drag on forever with everything that happened. I look down and see a blue blur, which I quickly focus in on and see that it's Marsha's arm. I roll over and look at the still-sleeping Marsha, lean over, and start nuzzling against her face.)

(While lying in bed, Marsha is currently having a very strange dream where she is lifeguarding at Silversand and a giant disembodied Tyranitar arm that emerged from the ocean is wreaking havoc on the beach.)
Zzzz...no ya can't do dat...no dunkin' da otha swimmers...stop it or I'm personally kickin' ya off da beach... (Marsha mumbles. Then she starts squirming around.) NO! DON'T SQUISH ME! EEP!
(Marsha's eyes pop open and she looks around. Seeing Marlon beside her, she sighs.) Aww fudge, I was havin' a dream...how did I not figure dat out before I even woke up? Dair was a giant arm for crap's sake...well, mornin', Marly. I didn't wake ya up, did I?
(Sunny is also waking up. She looks over to Grigori (she can't tell if he's up yet), and then to the sun up in the sky.)
I feel that today is going to be a wonderful day! (Sunny says with a smile.) Today I will make amends with Liesl, and then be on my way to zis Danjor Island...I certainly hope so at least.
(Sunny quickly throws her hands over her mouth and looks over to make sure she didn't wake Grigori up with that last part, which she said in a rather deep masculine voice. Unable to tell if she did or not, Sunny ever so quietly heads into their room's bathroom to shower.)
"Lucian, don’t be afraid, we’ll make it through this."
(Tonight was another dreamless night, without the Frenzy breathing down my neck. I guess it really is going to hang back this time. Though, I don't know how long that's going to last, but I better make the most of it. As soon as I woke up, I felt the wound on my wing. It wasn't as sharp as it was before, but it still stung to some extent. I look over to the other bed to see that my roommate had left for a morning shower. I looked outside the window to see the kingdom. There still weren't any riots or protests, thank God, but I'm not willing to wait around to let one happen.)

Mila
After hearing Finley's concerns, Mila only manages to sleep fitfully through the rest of the night, more often than not finding herself staring at the ceiling and listening for the breathing of the two individuals beside her. Once light begins to show through again and she can hear the sounds of mons moving about in other rooms and outside, she removes the covers from her body an inch at a time and shuffles over to Finley, hoping to not wake up Niles just yet. Once she's over by the Braixen, Mila puts a paw on her shoulder and gently tries to wake her up.
"Finley, it's morning. Do you want me to get everyone together for you?"
I need to update these things more often

Marlon > Marsha, Hotel Room (MORNING)
I was already awake, to be honest.
(I say after watching Marsha wake up herself, and then leaning in again to give her a kiss. After doing this I say:)
Think anyone else is awake?
Tell....everyone....

(Marsha gladly kisses Marlon back.) I dunno. Wouldn't hurt ta check. (Marsha says, shrugging. She gets out of bed and sticks her flower on her head.) Well, let's get goin', huh?
(Sunny is still in the shower. She can be heard singing a song from one of the many plays she was in, her voice frequently changing to different ones as she does so.)
Will someone take this young one in? The lizard with the frills and the million Poké grin? She is kind, happy, and true blue, and would be honored to help someone like you...
(Sunny herself doesn't really care, since she is still excited about what today might bring...and also thinks that she is the only one currently hearing herself sing.)
"Lucian, don’t be afraid, we’ll make it through this."
Former Human
Another day passed. Honestly, I couldn't care less about what was going on in this kingdom, as everything was starting to get boring.
“How long has it been? 23 days?”

Noriaki slowly rises from bed as morning arrives. He yawns and mumbles to himself a bit.
"No nightmares last night...I slept rather soundly. I suppose I have taken my thoughts off of... Her much better. But even now, the memories still plague my thoughts... Ah well, I suppose there is nothing to be done, I might as well make myself useful."
He gets up and checks if Roisin woke up yet.

Marlon > Marsha, Hotel Room (MORNING)
Yeah, suppose so. I really hope we get out of Slak Rock today, honestly.
(I say. Looking down at myself, I happen to realize that my scarf isn't on me, but rather hanging on a nearby wall. Something I didn't remember doing last night..) Shrugging that much off, I walk over to the wall and wrap the scarf around my neck, tightening it, and catching up with Marsha.)

Same here, Marly, same here... (Marsha says.)
(Marsha steps out of her and Marlon's hotel room and looks for someone else who might be up. She soon spots Zebediet.)
Hey, are ya Zebby or Deets right now? (Marsha asks.) Whoeva da case, how are yas dis mornin', and have ya seen anyone else?
(Sunny sticks her hat back on and leaves the bathroom, still feeling quite good. She spots Grigori looking out the window.)
Bonjor, monsieur. (Sunny says to him.) How are you this morning? It's a lovely day outside, no?
"Lucian, don’t be afraid, we’ll make it through this."
Zeb turns to Marsha. "Mornin', Marsha, Marlon. Zeb here. Doin' pretty fine. And, no, you're the first of the group I've seen this mornin'."
He is currently watering a Kelpsy bush, which seems to have sprouted several pink leaves, but no sign of flowers or berries yet.

A bleary-eyed Róisín is sitting on the edge of her own bunk. As she blinks in the morning light, Noriaki may hear her whistling fragments of a melancholy tune from many years past his time
.
(I hear the Heliolisk talk and I reply without turning back.) Better than most nights. (There were clouds over the city but not enough to blot out the sun and the streets were calm in a relative sense. Yet, I morosely sighed.) The island didn't start tearing itself apart, but I feel like it's only a matter of time before it does. (I turn to her and ask.) How was yours?

Oooh, I'd know dat bush anywhere. Kelpsy berries... (Marsha says, looking at the bush Zeb is currently watering.) I hope people hurry up and get up. We need ta talk about how soon we can get outta here.
(Sunny is a bit disconcerted by Grigori talking about the island tearing itself apart.)
Oui, I had a pleasant night compared to the one I had last night... (Sunny says, nodding.) I've heard about the unrest here since my troupe abandoned me. Are you concerned that something terrible is going to happen after we leave?
"Lucian, don’t be afraid, we’ll make it through this."

"Ah, good morning, Miss Róisín", said Noriaki with a slight bow, "If you are feeling prepared, shall we head out and greet the others?"

Marlon > Zeb, Marsha
Huh, yeah...seems that everyone's kept calm for now especially after yesterday..but I just know that'd change.
(I say.)
Tell....everyone....
"Well, suppose I'm ready. Dropped off a pair of berries for Dieter's maybe-boyfriend and know how to get in contact with him, so... yeah."
"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also Every(I respond to Sunny's question.) Maybe. Maybe there won't be a disaster when the news gets out. (I pause and look back outside and back to Sunny.) Look, I'm not trying to be all doom-and-gloom about our departure, but considering what's been happening before the king died, I'd rather not take my chances. (I put my glasses on and walked to the door.) Ready to go?

All righty, den. (Marsha nods.) Well, let's see if anyone else besides us is up, huh?
Oui, monsieur. (Sunny says, thinking about her plans for the day in order to lift her spirits back up.) Let's be off...
(Sunny heads out of her and Grigori's hotel room. Looking down the hallway, she spots Marlon, Marsha, and Zeb.) Bonjor!
Huh, looks like Frills and Grigs are up. (Marsha remarks, looking down the hallway.)
"Lucian, don’t be afraid, we’ll make it through this."

Marlon > Hotel Group
That they are.
(I say as I look towards the advancing Decidueye and Heliolisk. As they draw closer I then say:)
I would imagine that Fin and Mila are going to be waking up soon.
(I say.)
Tell....everyone....
Zeb nods to Sunny and attempts to echo her. "Bonjour."
He then mentally pings something to Marsha. ~Uh, Dieter was kinda drunk off their ass last night when she said it, but I think she wanted you to stick with Sunny?~

Oh yeah? (Marsha pings.) Well, we shouldn't have a problem with dat, right, Marly?
(Sunny walks down to the three.) So, my friends, how soon shall we be departing? Once everyone else is up, oui?
