Castle Stairs (Sisters)
As in, have Wrench try to repair himself? *Tilly ponders on that for a bit, but she laments* It's unfortunate — our town just happens to have had a Porygon2 as its Council Speaker for longer than I've been alive, and yet...I suppose even if I had asked him about it, I would have lacked any frame of reference for it to be meaningful...
*Lilly, meanwhile, has no idea what the hell they're talking about. She's pretty spaced out at this point*
*Tilly is tempted to bring something up to Dieter, but she feels the need to ask a couple questions first...* If you don't mind my asking, do you happen to know of someone called Serris? Of SuperiorFarms...

"And oh, SuperiorFarms? Yeah, I've heard about it. I'm not a big fan of soda, so I haven't tried any of their products myself, though. Does it have something to do with the group?"

*Tilly gauges Dieter's response...as far as she can tell, he didn't hesitate or react in anyway...she then says something mildly ominous* Can I trust you to keep a secret?

Well, it may be premature — I plan on writing mother about it once we have stable lodgings here... *Tilly explains to Dieter, continuing* ...I'm sure you're aware, before we met you, we had recently left Agartha. On a mission to rescue my sister, Mila, Finley, and some others, we happened across partially working machinery — apparently belonging to something called a Pokémon Center. You might know more about that than I, but I digress...
Although the machines were buried and likely heavily damaged in a cave-in, mother is surely working to unearth them as we speak.

"Well... depends on what sort of stuff, but that could be iinteresting. Assuming the PC didn't survive, but..."
"But, yeah, I'll keep that under wraps. Hope you do end up learning some stuff from that, though."

(At this point we drifted off to the back of the room, and just decided to sit down on a bench. Upon looking backward at the staircase, I happen to see some peculiar sights: Deiter pulling the sisters along in a cart and...A Vibrava crawling along the ceiling? That Vibrava we just saw? Although I wave to the trio coming up the stairs, I carefully watch this Vibrava to see what he does.)

Stairs Leading to "Stairs"
It's actually highly likely the digital components did survive — at least, Jani thought so. *Tilly explains to Dieter as they round the top of the stairs* She warned mother and I to be very careful with this information — mentioning Serris in particular, in terms of who should not be privy to said information.
*Lilly, meanwhile, is thrilled to be free of the blah blah geek talk, and she dirt-waves to the Marduo* Hey you two! Those stairs took forever, didja end up talkin' with the King?

-to Marlon- "Yeah, maybe. What have you learned so far?"
And with that, they finally reach the top and collapse on the floor.

Top of the Stairs, Before the Other Stairs
In all honesty, I don't know the full details. *Tilly tells Dieter, adding* It was an off-mention, that mother should not accept Serris' services if he offers them.
I'm not sure if either of us really have any questions... *Lilly responds to Marlon* mainly because I'd have to PM Taco for locale info first

Well, the VA looks like it's taken a significant toll on him, that's for sure. He did tell me a story about how he's a war hero or something like that.
(I note how Dieter has collapsed.)
Marlon > Sisters, Stairs
I'll help you two up the rest of the way.
(I turn to grab the handle of the cart and start to lead the sisters (and Deiter) up the stairs back to the throne room. Once there, they'd see the description from taco's post two pages ago.

Dieter is led into the room and looks at the king, is already presumably too tired to bow, though, and is somewhat already doing such.

But he won't do anything for now because I have to BRB.

Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.W-What-bzz! (Henry buzzes loudly upon being noticed by the king, not expecting to be noticed this soon. He adjusts his homemade crown and cloak and walks out from under the chair as cooly as possible, not caring what the others say.)
Greetings, your majesty! (Henry says, bowing.) My name is Henry Donohue Buzzton! How are you on this fine day? I hear that you may be looking for an heir to your throne!
"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."(Henry looks a little shocked. From what he had heard he had thought that the king of Slak Rock was looking for an heir regardless.)
I-I offer my most humble apologies, sir. It appears that I was mistaken! (Henry says, continuing to kiss up to the Slaking.) But whenever you decide to step down, I am more than qualified to take your place! I am secretly a prince, you know.
"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here.""I think you're in the wrong kingdom, sir. I don't really think he's, ehm... in the 'stepping down' mood, y'see..." Marie tells Henry.
I'm Huney B now. Okay?

The Litleo's eyes dim as they hear this.
"Ah... guess I got too excited."
"And ahhh. Maybe we will find something. It'd make me excited. Probably her too, if we find her again. But... even if we don't and we don't get desperate enough to try and reinvent our own... it could help if we need to give, like, super precise instructions to someone who doesn't necessarily know what they're doing because, I guess that's what it kinda is."
