"Just...keeping it from gettin' dusty."
[Making sure we're all ready, I notice Finley come down the steps.] "Uh, hey, we're...goin' off t'Belle's house." [...oh, the cap. Would she think it's weird that I'm wearing it? I dunno, I don't think there's any lice here...though wait, that wouldn't be the issue, here, would it.]

Finley gives a small "are you fucking kidding me" look when they mention Jani's disappearance, knowing she's safe.
"Uh... yeah. We could use some fresh air, definitely." She looks to Eliot, who has Jani's cap.
"That's a bit tasteless, isn't it?"

I'm Huney B now. Okay?"W-well," [I say to Finley, somewhat nervously though trying to drudge up some confidence,] "she did amscray down to Silversand and leave this for us. Well, officially, it was so one of us could take her place, but in the absence of that, I'm gonna do my best t'keep it nice and warm until she comes back."
Aspen chuckles, giving the book back. There was something fishy about the cat—pun intended—but they weren't going to press the matter. Her story seems watertight anyway, if not airtight. "Alright, then." They rise to their feet. "Well, I wanna check out the fiction and reference sections. You feel like coming along, or do you wanna chillax here? I'll come back once I find some good reads, if you'd like to stay."
they butchered the Punk Punk article >:/Mila listens to the conversation, trying to remember who Belle was while looking around the room. She notices her barely-touched pancake, as well as Niles trying to avoid eye contact. She considers going over for a moment, but then reminds herself that she's done enough damage as it stands. She really should get something to eat, though, but she doesn't feel hungry for whatever reason.
I need to update these things more oftenOh, thanks.
Dieter takes it.
I'll read it when we have some down time and not debating the ethics of impersonating someone who suddenly vanished.

"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also EveryWell, if we're all ready, we should be able to get going! (I say.) Is everyone ready to get going?
I'm ready if everyone else is. (Delilah nods.)
(I look at Finley after saying this. I give her as best of a "you want to talk?" look as I can.)
"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."
Purrloin Jani by shrubBird
*a wave of relief falls over "Sarah"...all her rehearsing wasn't for naught. She then tells Aspen* I'll be here for awhile. You should totally bring whatever books you find back here and we can study together! *she resumes reading the book about Nifel, but intends to sneak peeks at the Lunalis book while Aspen's browsing the fiction section, masking it as turning the pages of all the books at once*
Plus I we need some passage of time going...
*Tilly nods to Noriaki* Indeed. There have been rumors that the Terranports once had noble ancestors, but that is so far in the past as to be mere speculation at best. *looking onward as they head to the library, she continues* Though it also makes one wonder where the concept of nobility first originated from...
*Lilly says to Lucy with a grin* How about you decide? I think they're goin' to see Miss Belle, aren't they?
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.Finley looks to Goobert. Yeah, it'd be best to talk with him.
"Well, yeah, I guess that makes sense." Finley tells Eliot.
"Should we head out?"
I'm Huney B now. Okay?(Marsha, Delilah and I head out the door.)
Well, we're heading out. Gonna wait for the rest of you guys, though. (I say.)
Um... (Lucy thinks. She hasn't really gotten to meet Belle since yesterday. Plus Eliot seems to be going that way...) Let's go to see Belle! (Lucy finally says to Lilly.)

Finley is quickly tapped by Goobert.
... Power through.
"Yeah?"
I'm Huney B now. Okay?(Now that I have Finley's attention, I try to think of what to say to her, eventually spilling out:)
Um...uh...I'm sorry I...I'm sorry I kinda bailed out on you last night. I just...I'm probably going to sound like a little kid or something, but my feelings were just kind of hurt. I just really felt like I never knew you...or something like that...
"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here.""... I mean." Finley suddenly feels something snap in her. She's done with being all coy.
"Listen, Goobert... I lied, yes. And it was abhorrent that I did. But please understand. I'm still me. I'm still the person you spent over two weeks exploring this world with. Maybe there are some things I'm still hiding, but I'm not as scared to reveal those things as I was that. The worst is behind us."
I'm Huney B now. Okay?[Putting Jani's letters into my bag, I make my way to the door, but am stopped when I see Finley through the doorway, talking with Goobert. I can catch the last few moments of their conversation...I...I don't really know how to feel. I...guess I feel a little frustrated with her, that it took her so long to tell us all this. I mean, I'm glad she's apologizing, but...I still feel somewhat betrayed. And maybe I've no room to have that feeling...but it's still kinda there.]
"'Scuce me," [I say, stepping around the two as I head out the door.]
(I think about it. Yeah...she's right...she may not have been who I thought she was...and I still can't help but feel a little betrayed...but she's at least apologizing for all of it and is deeply sorry. She's not going to be another Serris who will double cross us the minute it suits her with no regrets whatsoever. That's good enough for me. I smile a bit and give her a quick Goodra hug.)
You're right... (I say as I do.) I forgive you, Fin, and I'm glad that you're feeling better. Can you promise me that you won't lie again, though?
(Tricia's Singing Classes)
(As Benji waits for Dinah outside of Tricia's house, he begins thinking about all the new forms he's taken over this journey, such as Marjorie, Cortez, Frau Morbitesse, that one Krokorok form, and even the Eon twins. He really liked taking the forms of the last two. Why hasn't he tried taking one of their forms again since then, anyway? Just for the heck of it, Benji makes sure that no one else is looking and takes the form of Latios. Benji walks over to a window on the side of Tricia's place to look at himself. Latios is a quite nice-looking creature. If it wasn't for the fact that he liked being Benji (and to a lesser extent Marjorie) so much, he feels that he would just switch to this form and identity.)
(He's so intently focused on this that he stands there looking at himself for several moments...failing to notice the small gust of wind that suddenly blows by him.)
Hey, bro, whatcha doin' here? (Benji hears a female voice in his head say.)
(Benji jumps and looks behind himself. After a moment, a Latias (a real one) suddenly fades into view in front of him.) Uh...
"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."

Yeah, Marsh, not like they're just gonna run away, heh..
(I slightly chuckle. I finally take time to notice what Eliot's doing:)
What are you doing with that? Besides the obvious.
(In any rate, I look to the door and prepare to start off, hoping that the others are as well. I offer a small wave to Finley and Mila.)
