At the heart of the world...
#25026: Oct 30th 2017 at 11:22:25 AM

"Bye, guys! And thank you! I won't be long, I promise!" [With that, I walk calmly out of the tent...and then as I make sure no one else can see me, I speed up towards the hotel, pushing open the door and looking around for a room to slink into. There's a bathroom around here, right? That's usually a good place to slink into for these kind of situations...]


Heading down the steps, Merna makes it to the main lobby. She starts jogging towards the entrance, but is stopped, transfixed by the crowd of people outside of one of the conference halls. So many girls and boys giggling to themselves, she thinks she hears squealing inside. It's got her curious...no! She's got to get to Hoard as quick as...

...okay, maybe one peek. Merna files in line, the excitement of the crowd slowly leaking over to her...

-to Goobert and Delilah- Oh, yeah, that could be a nice song to sing in a group...

-to Marlon- Hmm... I'll keep it in mind. I'm also thinking of another song I might try if that doesn't pan out...

Well, Delilah's my friend, too. (I say to Andy.) We could probably still rock it.

(I do wonder if Andy has a point though. However, Dieter as well as Marlon himself voiced their approval, so I decide to just stick with it.)

Well, just teach me the words, and we'll get ready for this, Goobert. (Delilah says.)

Right. (I say. I take the back of my envelope of Poké and begin writing down the lyrics to the song on the back of it.)

(I think about what's going on...I'm going to be singing in front of a bunch of strangers with my girlfriend...this is crazy. I can already feel the butterflies in my stomach.)

There's a singing contest as part of this music festival, Wrench. (I explain to Wrench.) Delilah and I and some of the others have signed up to be a part of it.

(I too, am thinking if Andy has a point. No, I've made my decision already. I'm not gonna take part in this. I look to Goobert and Marsha before saying:)

We'll be there to cheer you guys on. Right, Marsh?

(Before saying to Deiter:)

Yeah, you can try anything, really.

(Finally, I turn to Wrench, though not saying directly at him (or anyone:)

Sure will! (Marsha says, giving Delilah and I a thumbs up.)

Same with Phyllis and I! (Angelo says. He and Phyllis have been oddly quiet for the past while. They begin gravitating toward the center of town where the festival is going to be held.)

(Hearing Serris get mentioned puts a damper on my good mood. I begin thinking about how he double-crossed us and begin to make a hard straight-faced expression. I quickly shake the thought from my head and continue writing the song lyrics on the envelope. I begin marking parts where Delilah would sing and where I would sing.)

"O-oh." Aspen acts nonchalant but blushes chlorophyll green. She glances at the band, who pay them only passive interest. Aspen takes the eyepatch and gazes at it wistfully, nibbling the tip of her pen with a slight smile. "What's your name? ...and what's your favourite song?" The Lilligant's eyes twinkle a bit, framed by heavy eyeliner.

Where's Jani? Niles? Fin? PJ? I think they'd like to sign up as well.

Yeah, we probably could. (I say.) I don't actually know if Belle will have time to help me practice singing though. She seems really busy...I guess I can just wing it.

I can already kind of sing, but it wouldn't hurt to practice... (Delilah adds.)

(Marsha looks around.) Ya know, I haven't seen them since Marly and I went in ta see my parents. (She comments.)

[Fuck! There's people! My people! Ahhhhh, quick, quick, into a random, non-crowded room where I can quickly take refuge, like uhhh, uhh—there, a bathroom! I make a beeline for the bathroom, discreetly opening the door and slinking in. I look around, sighing in relief: it's empty, save for what looks like a Freezie from Mario Bros who looks like they're about to walk out. I move past the little guy and head towards one of the wooden stalls, which look more like indoor outhouses than any stall I'm used to.]

[I brace myself against the door...this is it! I feel like I'm living dangerous here...right, right, I'm wasting time. Just like in the store, just woosh out and—op, there we go! Okay, okay, I'm calm, I'm calm...right, I'm calm, I can do this, I can do this. Right...okay, back to Rossetti...we're gonna give this form a proper send-off!]

''*I've been hanging out on top of a nearby trash can (a surprisingly clean one, thankfully) when Jani decides to include me in her conversation. I listen quietly to what she says

PJ: "A Transfer Orb... Shoot, I just thought you wanted a break from your body, I didn't realize..."

(In her dreams? Jesus, can I relate...)

PJ: "I'll keep it private, you don't need to worry about that. I just wanna know, why's Till stalking you like this? Is it just because you have her sister's body, or is there something I'm missing? I'm probably missing a few details because uh... while all the Agartha stuff was happening I was busy with lizard peri..."

(No. I know she probably knows the female body thing, but this is just TMI.)

PJ: "...per, personal stuff. D-don't ask, it's not important anyways. So, yeah, remind me what her deal is besides sister stuff?"

Are you ready? Go live!

There's nothing wrong with just winging it...

(I trail off to think about this.)

but maybe you can still catch Belle in time to at least get some brief practice in?

(I ask Goobert and Delilah. I then comment on the missing group members:)

Eh, I guess she really did have something to tell them.

(I begin wondering if maybe there are seats for us to sit in or something for the festival.)

Lizard peery...? ...oh, my... *Jani briefly shakes her head again, trying to present herself as at least somewhat sane* Okay, to be fair...the stalking thing, I mean yeah...it's because of her sister, but also...I was overtly enthusiastic during our little experience, and well...before that, back in Agartha, she pretty much acted as a liaison for Triss...

*she looks down at the orb, already getting second thoughts, as she continues* ...and of course, Triss gives my part of the reward to Tilly...if it weren't for that Hoard windfall I'd be dependent on her at the moment.

I mean, I dunno...maybe it'll be temporary, maybe permanent...but I have to get away from her. But it's not only that... *looking to PJ, she admits* Your reaction...especially when we swapped back. It, well, it struck a chord. This....isn't normal. I mean, I can get around and all... *she moves around, manipulates nearby dirt in waves, and such*

I rolled the dice and got "weird". Plus, before the sisters invaded my dreams, something else did...

*looking intently at the orb again, she says* Chances are pretty good, right? It's won't return me to being human, but maybe I'll have something resembling normalcy...

Yeah. (I say to Marlon. I look over to Belle. There doesn't appear to be anyone attempting to sign up at the moment.) She doesn't seem too busy right now. I'll give it a try.

(Delilah and I walk over to Belle.) Belle?

🎵 Yes, Goobert? (Belle asks me.) Would you like me to help you practice?

Yeah. (I say.) I figure that a Primarina like you would be an expert on singing.

(Belle chuckles.) 🎵 Well, I can tell you that, first of all, you must make sure that you are singing from your chest and not singing through your nose. Can you do that, Goobert?

Well...I dunno... (I clear my throat and try doing so.) La...la...lalala...I'm a little tea pot short and stout...how was that?

That didn't sound bad, Goobert. (Delilah says.)

🎵 Indeed. (Belle says.) It seems that you can actually sing, Goobert, but you need to remember not to sing from your nose, and instead sing from here... (Belle places her flippers over her chest.) I do not expect that you and Delilah will be the first ones to sing in the contest, so you will have plenty of time to practice.

Okay, Belle. (I say.) Thanks!

(Delilah and I walk back over to Marlon and the others who are still outside.) Belle said that I can sing, but I just need to not sing through my nose.

🐟 Well, dat shouldn't be too hard, should it? (Marsha says, looking up at Marlon.)

"Oh yeah, dude~ the 'Face to Faith' album. You don't wanna know how long it took me to convince these junkheads—" Aspen points at her bandmates— "to go grunge on it." She smiles widely and signs her name and Carbon Footprint's logo, a stylized CF inside a heart dripping oil, on Sushi's eyepatch, then turns to Topher. "Yo, significant annoyance. We've got our biggest fan. Sign his eyepatch!"
Topher glances at her with a bemused smile that somehow still manages to be obnoxiously smug. "Why is this guy a bigger fan than—"
"Pretty please?" Aspen bats her big, pretty goth eyes at him, pouting. He blushes slightly and sighs, grabbing the eyepatch. Soon, Sushi's patch has the signatures of each band member on it. Aspen hands it back to Sushi with a flirty grin.
"Come hang with us backstage before and after the show, cutie, okay?~"

"Being a Metapod for that night was easily the most terrifying experience in my life... there's a chance you could be like that. Are you sure?"

She seems deep in thought for a second. "Should we at least find a Reset first, just in case?"

Noriaki has still not left the bar, having just recently finished his drink. He's partially keeping a subtle eye on Mila just in case, partially scanning the general vicinity, and also looking like he wants to ask someone something.
