Duke's Mindscape

-Herbert looks away from Anger as if seemingly trying to figure out how to respond.-

Herbert: You...

-He leaves the incomplete sentence hanging in the air for a few moments, then turns and heads down the staircase indicates by Loyalty. After a few steps, his footfalls audibly increase in pace.-

Camphrier Hotel

-EDI returns to her ball.-

Near Dune

Arika(?): A shiny? Damn. Those are rare.

Duke's Mindscape

Anger is left behind and Loyalty turns to face Herbert

"Is there something wrong?" he asked.

Lower Route 8

-Notices an odd rock up ahead-

Hmm...

AU!Vermilion

-Is waiting around-

Muddy: <So when is this thing going to start?>

When Surge gets here I believe.

Duke's Mindscape

-Herbert stops midway down the stairs upon being addressed by Loyalty, his voice trembling slightly.-

Herbert: ...Take a wild guess.

Duke's Mindscape

Loyalty sighs

"Look, don't... Don't take what he said personally, he's just the aspect that represents stress and general wrath. He'd act like that with anyone."

AU!Vermillion

-Umbra and Lina are with Tagg-

Vermillion - AU - Some Manner of Hideout

-Scanning a small crowd within the structure-

<"Eh? But how on earth are we supposed to know what he'd even look-?">

-Right as a Raichu in sunglasses and pieces of a military fatigue comes in along with a number of primarily Electric mons with various military effects-

<"... Of course.">

<Kammy: "I dunno, it seemed obvious enough to me.">

Connecting Cave

Dune: True, but I'll admit that I already had one with Dom. This is the first one I've ever seen in the wild, though!

Candace: <My father was a great Braviary! I carry on his legacy as leader, or ex-leader I guess, of the Roost. I hope my troops can survive without me. They're not the brightest gems in the cave, if you know what I mean.>

AU!Vermilion

Lt. Surge: <Alright, look alive you lot!>

-With an Electivire serving as a platform-

<I won't sugarcoat things and say that things are going fine right now, because they're not. One of our main issues is our lack of food supplies, and those lizards guard their food stores jealously.>

Near Dune

Arika(?): Well congratulations.

-Her eyes shift back to sea-green-

Arika: And from me too!

Vermillion

Lina: <Someone sticks to his roots.>

Umbra: <So... How do we get to food, then?>

Lower Route 8

-Maggie notices the rock Tagg notices-

Maggie: "Oh, huh, that's one of those rocks that can be broken."

"...And by some miracle, I actually have had a TM that can do something with that. I must avail myself of this!"

"Use Rock Smash!"

-Titanium, M. Bush, and Connie all look at Maggie-

Titanium: <...Which one of us?>

Maggie: "...This is my first time doing this. All three of you?"

Titanium: <...I don't think it works like->

-Meanwhile, M. Bush goes over to the rock and pounces on it, breaking it-

Vermillion - AU

-Blinks-

<Kyle: "Wait... You mean to tell me that all your food basically boils down to what you can steal?">

<Dovile: "What's wrong with that? It's not like it's hard.">

<Kyle: "No one asked you!"> >_>;

<"Surely you guys must have some other source... Right? Hidden berry fields or something?"> ._.

Connecting Cave

Dune: I'm really going to have to get used to that.

Candace: <If this is any indication, your group is going to be really weird.>

Deziree: I'm a Magnezone in human form.

-Candace sighs, barely audible over her rapid wing beats.-

Candace: <Yep, this is gonna be weird.>

Duke's Mindscape

-Herbert gives a small sigh.-

Herbert: If you say so... but still, this isn't helping of my various inferiority complexes any. Can we just get back to trying to the exit?

I need a tablet so fecking badly

Lower Route 8

-Eyebrow raise-

AU!Vermilion

Lt. Surge: <Some, but as you know it's hard to grow a decent Berry crop on Kantonese soil, and the few that we do manage to make get burnt down by the dragons.>

Hmm...

Camphrier

Dash: <Morgan, snap out of it. Don't you recognize me?>

Morgan: "...Dash? Can't you hear them?"

Dash: <Hear who?>

Morgan: "The trees. They whisper to me. They want me to stay..."

Dash: <Don't listen to them. I don't know why this Coyote changed you. But surely he doesn't want you to lose yourself and let your mind become a slave to a bunch of plants!>

-With considerable effort, the human-turned elemental begins to stand.-

Madeline: -stirs from her sleep- <Mama, what's going on?>

Morgan: "M-mama? But-" -she stops herself- "Everything's okay Maddy. Get some rest." -returns her to her ball- "Thanks, Dash. If it weren't for you-"

Dash: <Shush. What are friends for?>

Azrael: <Let's get you out of here, miss.>

Duke's Mindscape

"I'm sorry if he gave you a bad first impression, but the other aspects aren't like that, for the most part. There's a reason Anger is the lowest ranked here." said Loyalty, rubbing the back of his neck "But anyway, you're the boss I guess."

Loyalty goes back to guiding Herbert, as they go, they come across a small garden that didn't really lead anywhere and seemed to be there mostly for looks as there were plenty of flowers in it. However, another aspect could be seen there, sitting on the grass.

Lower Route 8

Maggie: -to Tagg- "Hey, that's the only field move TM I have aside from Dive, and only Damburst knows that one..."

-As the rock is shattered, a Binacle is revealed underneath it-

-Maggie blinks-

Maggie: "...What's that supposed to be?"

Vermillion - AU

<Buster: "Er... Wow. That sounds like a real drag."> ._.

<Leana: "Wait a minute... How long have you had this place anyways?">

<"Eh? What are you suggesting? Hydroponics?">

<Leana: "No, you big beak, think about it.">

<"Eh?">

-And is hit by a dawning realization-

<"Oh!">

Route 8

- Blinks at the Binacle -

... Yeah, what is that?

Near Dune

-Arika pats Dune and Candace. -

Vermillion

Umbra: <What are our options?>

Lina: -to Tracer- <Oh?>

Duke's Mindscape

Herbert: It's still coming from his mouth, using his voice... then again, I guess I should be used to that kind of thing by now, seeing as I've heard it enough from the actual Duke...

-He keeps on following Loyalty until he sees the aspect sitting in the garden, at which point he tugs on Loyalty's sleeve.-

Herbert: ...What about him? Is he also going to... well, be like that?

Lower Route 8

-Casually-

Binacle.

AU!Vermilion

Oh right, we may have a way of solving that problem...

Lt. Surge: <You mind explaining what you're getting at?>
