Anom: We'll be starting Round 2 before everyone finishes Round 1. That, and I need to get you to Round 3 ASAP for reasons I can't say.

Dintel (hearing Muddy remembers something) — <Basket, can you please vouch for this piece of paper Tagg has? It has to have Trainer's smell and symbols, it's something about that box *points behind* that Maekrite is defending... please... he means no harm...>

Maekrite — <That's... that's a good idea.> (falls back a couple of steps and keeps his eye on Tagg) <Someone not hypnotized check that smell.>

-Vanilluxe floats into our midst-

Vanilluxe: <Why is this Nidorino looking at you like that Tagg?>

I'll explain later.

-To Dintel-

<Vlad: "Can I see that, Dintel?">

Dintel hurriedly grabs the permit with his good arm and walks towards Vlad to hand him the papers. All the while he is sulking somethin about how he is going to be left without food for a week.

-Is completely fixated on her orb-

-Sniffs paper-

<Vlad: "Well it definitely smells like your trainer, Dintel... But I can't recognize any of the symbols except for the funny circle with the curve and dots in it. I think that that's supposed to be a happy expression...">

Silent! Wait for... oh, it's kinda late... I should look for Pankaja and Cephas...

and Tangent was never seen again. Tonight, anyhow. See you at some point tomorrow, dunno which.

It's a smiley face Vlad.

Yes, Fool. I do think that they're related. They have the same symbols, at least.

Maekrite — <Oh...? Trainer drew a happy face? > (relax his position, lowers ears, to the others) <Can I look at it? If it's like the ones that Trainer draws in his live reports, I guess it's all right...>

Those orbs... they may be an incredible find with a legend tied to them-

Buizel: HEY GUYS, A IS LISTENING IN AGAIN!

<Vlad: "Sure.">

-Gives paper to Maekrite-

Felis: <I think we already figured that out.>

Yeah, really. Who cares what she's listening to?

How should I justify my absence? Get captured by someone? Get stuck somewhere? Fall into a pitfall?

File taxes. It always works for how longever you need to.

(Maekrite holds the paper in his jaw, sniffs it) <...Sure smells like an overexcited version of Trainer... let's see~> (deposits the permit on the ground; there at the end og the signature lies what looks like a decolored version of this: )

Dintel (coming by) — <See? Told you it was all OK...>

Maekrite — <Sure, this is the happy face. It's even the same colour...> He turns to Muddy, looks at him for a moment, then at Tagg <Sure then, you can get to the box but I'll be watching you. And, you owe me a good explanation. Why didn't Trainer tell me about all of this? *turns around, with a menacing tone* Was any of this any of your fault, Dintel?>

Dintel — <I have been a good Sandshrew, I swear. No bad. Even Tracer gave me a cookie.>

You should explain it by doing some non-GC related stuff for a while, getting stuck somewhere, and not coming back until your battle had to be delayed

My reccomendation for you was that someone (perhaps James) locked you in a bathroom stall by mistake. Or you got kidnapped by your fangirls.

Anyway... what are these orbs?

-Looks at the shattered Ophiuchus orb-

But first, maybe we should restore this one.

-Turns to A-

According to the zodiac book Jane owns. This orb and the shattered orb are a part of a collection of orbs called "Zodiac Orbs". They are related to the First Zodiacs in some way.

Hmmm...

Did you say that there were 12 or 13 places for the orbs to be placed into? Because an Ophiucus Troll doesn't exist and I don't want to bring OC's into this

I was re-reading the archives, and I came across the mention of something called obscura. Can someone please explain what that is? All I know is that it has some relation to Dark-Types.

So then which should I do? I think getting locked in a room somewhere would be ideal, but I don't know where.

Hussie said he knew about Ophiuchus, but was playing around with the concept since the start. It's not likely at this point that a new troll is introduced, but it's certainly not out of the picture. Especially since 3 of the kids fall under Ophiuchus and we don't even know John real birthday.

I think it's 12. The shattered orb seems to be related to them, but doesn't have a purpose at the moment.

My hypothosis is that it's patron Zodiac is currently unactive and won't appear at all, even with these orbs.

This is very intriguing.

Buizel: What are you thinking about this time?

It's a legendary treasure. It's amazing.
