Marlon, Marsha
(We must've got Zangoosed because my player definitely went to sleep... because we missed pretty much that whole encounter. Upon hearing the insistence that we should go to sleep I turn to the others and say:)
Guess we should go to sleep then.
(We still pay mind to the Farfetch'd and Eliot in case we could help.)
Slaking
(The Kerchiefed Slaking grumbles and joins Michael and co. below deck.)
Slaking: Transform my ass....maybe?

Mixy
*uncertain of her fate, Mixy simply waits nervously for the exchange between James, Finley, Eliot, and the Slak's to come to some definitive conclusion*
Sarah
*satisfied that the events will eventually come to a conclusion without her, "Sarah" heads over to Marlon and asks* Maybe it's like, my ears acting up...but I totally hear some womens' voices below deck...at least I think I do, y'know?
@fdiaperhead: Giving you a segue in.
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.

Tilly
*Cart!Tilly has been listening to the goings on, and eventually rolls onto the scene, and states what likely many of us are thinking. This is mainly directed at the ship's crew* I certainly hope your crew remembers who is doing a who a favor here. This is clearly more than simple mercenary work — and as someone who has experience with hiring mercenaries, I can say with authority that it behooves you to treat them well.
Sarah
Pretty sure. They like...don't sound in pain or anything... *"Sarah" says, but then shrugs* ...maybe they'll come out and talk to us sometime, y'know?

Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.[I stare at the persistently bitchy Slaking...this guy can't be fucking serious about this. I join in after Tilly says her piece.] "Really, if I wanted to, and I may feel I'll need to, I could just bring her back to Gleamscape and just not come back myself, if yer gonna impound me once I get back. And I know I resisted joining you guys, even with that money, but she's right...your boss, that Michael fella...he's gonna need us. All of us."
[I start slowly pacing around, drawing out my steps like a slow march.] "Now I could ferry a few more people, too...I mean, after all, if the personnel we're dealin' with's gonna be this much of a pill, then why deal with 'em? Outside a'transportation and the promise of money, you haven't give us anything to show yer good graces, no reason to convince us to go along with it besides 'experience'..." [I have to laugh at that...I find it cute that us having fought three vectors means we just know how to deal with VA.] "...and obligation."
[I shake my head and stop pacing, facing him.] "What am I saying, though...it's not like yer gonna budge. I mean after all, it's only in your blood to be so confrontational, it's only in your blood to blindly resist anything that may disrupt your...your first impression a'the situation, the right impression!, i-is it not?" [I bring my hand down into my palm, decisively!] "Just like that. No complexities or...eh, eccentricities...just a guy with a badge and an ego...and a stick up his ass, and five people who are just wrong." [I can't care at this point if he's gonna get pissed. It's not like he isn't at this point...I guess I'm just sealing the deal.]
Marlon
(I shrug at Sarah's suggestion.)
(I sigh and look to the others:)
Look guys, we had a unbelievably long day, can we all just go to sleep at this point? We've only known these guys for a few hours.
(Yeah, but they are treating us like dirt.)

"... How long will they be imprisoned."
I'm Huney B now. Okay?"If you want to break the law, go ahead. But if you do, there's nothing stopping boss man from having you pinned down in a manhunt, and kept in the room with the king until you fix him or you catch it yourself. So choose wisely, bud."
He turns to Finley. "That's up to a judge."

Huzzah"Whatever, I've run out of attempts to care. Hey Eliot, go ahead and ferry them back. I'd like to see them send police across the ocean to arrest someone for delivering a message."
She leaves. Now to find Sarah...
I'm Huney B now. Okay?

Sarah
I'll see if I can find those voices, but...like, it's not like I'll break into anyone's cabin. *and with that, "Sarah" leaves Marlon and heads into the passenger quarters*
Tilly
Times must be desperate indeed, if the once great Slak Kingdom is now reduced to veritable banditry... *Cart!Tilly says out loud, but she's looking at the guard square in the eyes*
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.Perhaps the best place to check other than the deck is the living quarters...
As such, she begins going door to door, looking for Sarah. "Hey, Sarah? Are you around? We gotta talk about something."
I'm Huney B now. Okay?Marlon
Oh, alright...? I hope you find whatever is making that noise.
(I tell Sarah. I cast a glance towards the living quarters as I see Finley heading over after Sarah.)
Marlon < > Marsha
Hey, Marly? Aren't yas noticing how Sarah just seems ta be actin' all funny?
Yeah. It's almost as though she's hiding something from us, but what is it?
Do ya think she's like da rest of ya fellas?
Quite possibly.
(We turn to that area and prepare to head there ourselves.)

Sarah
*"Sarah" isn't in any rooms, though the sound of Finley searching draws her attention away from ~~Schrodinger's~~ voices. She assumes two things out of Finley when she sees her — either it's about the same voices, or...it's about the package*
*and Jani has a plan*
*Jani...always...has a plan*
Hey princess! Do you hear those voices too? *she opens up with*
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus."... The what?" Jani always goofed like this... didn't she act like she was never a human before all this?
"Listen, I don't have time for that." Finley says flat out and getting close. "Are you Jani?"
I'm Huney B now. Okay?
Purrloin Jani by shrubBird
No. *"Sarah" says with a straight face and direct eye contact...just as she'd practiced on herself...*
*she then starts to faux-ponder, paw-to-chin, and says* That's, like, a girl's name, right? I could swear I heard two women down here — but I must be totally imagining it.
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus."Sarah, look. You're really the only one it can be. Nobody else's profile matches." She pulls the box out and shows her.
"C'mon, just fess up..."
I'm Huney B now. Okay?
Purrloin Jani by shrubBird
The box is open, right? If not, this needs to change.
Sarah
*next in "Sarah"'s arsenal, reverse psychology* That's a lot of Poké... *she stares longingly at the money inside the box, then looks to Finley with a grin* ...sure, I'll totally be Jani if I can have this. *she attempts to grab the box*
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus."Uhm, w-wait..." she pulls the box back.
"I'm not too sure, uh... hey Sarah? Why don't you just... go to bed, okay? I'll work this out." To say Finley's hurt is an understatement. One of her closer friends is either gone forever or lying straight to her face.
"It's just that, you know... she promised she would come out to me and PJ, and I was hoping you were her..."
I'm Huney B now. Okay?
Purrloin Jani by shrubBird
Sarah
*that reminder hits her like a ton of bricks...internally, "Sarah" is pretty conflicted. She already has a sense that something's up with the sisters...and Finley's tone is just causing her to retreat internally...like the moment she admits who she really is, she'll have to go back*
*with a bit more of a serious, downbeat tone...she says, albeit not breaking character* Oh mon...that...sucks. *she then asks* How did she go missing?
Mixy
*Mixy nods to Eliot* S-sure... *and attempts to clandestinely follow him*
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.For the second time today, Finley feels herself tearing up. "She, uh... used a Transfer Orb on herself and... you know like, it would have been a little secret. I'm not going to run around shouting who she is, I just want to know if she's okay..." She's breaking more and more as the realization she could be gone forever begins to sink in deeper and deeper.
"C-Can you... let me know if anyone's acting odd? Anyone new to the group, I mean. J-Just..." She holds the box tight to her chest. "... I'll go." Wracked with new fear, she begins to make her way down to where she'll be sleeping tonight. She's moving slowly, but not so she can force Sarah to fess anything up. It looks more like she's genuinely having a rough time moving.

I don't move from my spot. "Is there anyway we can workout a deal?" I say then look to Eliot when he makes his offer. I don't know if he is able to keep the form up, but he looks just as determined as me to do something. Then a small miracle comes oin the form of that order that has me making a sigh of relief, my arms dropping to their sides.
(Thank god! Even if she is a prisoner now at least something can be thought up on the trip there.)
