Poor Buggy... (Marsha says.) Does he rememba anythin'?

(Marsha looks at Zeb/Dieter and the others and back to Marlon.) Should we go with dem, Marly? Or do ya think dey've got dis? I mean, if we do go with dem, dair's nothin' stoppin' yas from talkin' ta Buggy as we go, I guess.

"Well, hehe...a'guess I got a bit a'bite in me..." [I can't really say I'd see myself getting into any scuffles in this form...I mean, she's kinda got a point?]

"And yea, plan'll be...well, we'll...try to look like we're lookin' like we're laying low...though maybe..." [My stomach growling betrays my intentions.] "...to Mullion's, first?"

Marlon > Andy

Can you remember anything about what happened?

(I ping him.)

Marlon > Marsha, SK Group

We could...I mean, what exactly are we going to be doing if we go? Lay low and wait for the killer to come after Zeb?

(I posit.)

(Before I left the library, I heard from Tilly about the lovely couple joining.) Sure thing. If we find her, I'll shoot an arrow up like a flare. (I heard Marlon's talk of strategy.) That's the idea. We hide, tail them, and when she's about to attack, we swarm her and take her down. Now, come on, we ain't got no time. (I exit the library, confident that this team can hunt that bitch down.)

Zeb, unsure what the details of what to do on his end are, adresses Grigs.

"So, uh, you got a plan for what I should do? I'm assuming it's something more like, 'go about your daily business and hope the Basculin notices me' than 'caress my hooves seductively and hope she takes the bait'."

Think we could hide in any nearby water?

As long as she i'nt hidin' in any of dat water, yeah. (Marsha says.) I mean, she could be in da water considerin' she's a Water-type...but I dunno. Maybe we'll find a water hole dat she i'nt gonna be in. Let's go.

(As Marsha begins heading out, she asks Marlon:) Any word back from Buggy yet?

Forest -> Wharf

*Sarah nods to Eliot* Mullion's it is, then. *she says as she continues walking in that direction. She has to think for a bit, being quiet most of the while, about a few things to prop up her persona. As they reach the town border, she says* If we're going to make this believable, and given who you're with...what bands do you like? *after asking that, she slightly shakes her Carbon Footprint duffel pack just to make a point*


SK Group

She seems to attack well inland, and her last attempt was in the slums, so... *Tilly puts forward, then adds* It's unlikely that she'll strike if the rest of us are in sight, however.

(I spoke to the Girafarig.) The former. The latter will just be too conspicuous. When we reach the slums, we'll hide ourselves and you just wander around. If anyone else decides to interfere, we should be able to convince them to stay away. And besides, you said you can fight well.

"Yeah, figured. I'll see if I can't get some errands done around here. Might help make it look more natural."

"And yeah, I can, not like any of the guards around here, but I should be able to hold decently."

If there isn't any source of water for us to easily hide in, where else are we gonna do it?

(Marsha rubs one of her headfins.) Hmm, dair a good barrel or somethin' if we can't find a waterin' hole?

(She's mildly uneasy about this, but knows that as long as she sticks close by the others, she should be fine.)

I can easily make myself inconspicuous... *Tilly tells the group, then states a general* ...I imagine Grigori could watch from the rooftops, and the rest of you...will likely need to just use whatever is at the scene to hide.


Tropius' house, Slak Rock outskirts

*the red-stripe Basculin spent much of yesterday resting...having overexerted herself the other day by summoning an absurd amount of water into a city of all things. She spends the morning eating...grain food, mind you — she's not that kind of killer after all. She's also pining over recent failures that have plagued her in recent days...out loud, and in many "voices"*

You're a failure, missy! An abject failure! *she whips herself with a ruler, but doesn't miss a beat as she continues eating and slips into the next*

But but...I tried so hard! Those mean men keep fighting back!

You've lost your way, young lady. If you don't toughen up this instant, you're through! *she whips herself again, only for her other persona to cry out*

Ow...ow...stop it, it huuuurts!!

*this continues for some time as she casually eats breakfast — it's as if she's used to this routine*

Andy pinged back to Marlon, I remember following a Vigoroth, who had been talking with these three Pokémon. They were all looking for Finley. I followed the Vigoroth to find his boss. It gets a bit fuzzy, but I remember an ambush and a foot.

Hmm...we read about someone coming after Finley in the library earlier...but three Pokémon? Just stay calm, right now we're tied up with something else.

Marlon > Group

Well not to distract us from our current objective but Andy just told me what we basically figured back at the library: except there are three Pokémon after Finley.

(I state. I see the slums slowly come into view..)

[I laugh nervously.] "I don't...see..." [I scratch the back of my head.] "I...I don't really know the local...scene on the island...mm...maybe that'd be enough?"

[I step out of the forest to a spot overlooking the wharfs. I look out for the restaurant, somewhat anxious as to whether this will work. I'll have to act convincingly suspicious...I wonder how people perceived Finley, back before she was involved in all of this. It's only conjecture, but thinking on it could prove useful...]

I'm assumin' dat when we get dair, we should find places ta hide, yeah? (Marsha asks Tilly. She's already looking among the run-down buildings in search of a source of water, a barrel or box, or a water-filled box or barrel. Then she registers what Marlon said.) No foolin'? We're up against three Pokémon as far as gettin' ta Buggy goes?

-to Marlon- "Well... that's good to know..."

-to Tilly- "...Hm, so, am I supposed to wander around a given area and if she shows up, ask if she 'could help a lost stranger' or something or you planning on pouncing before then?"
