Marlon > Group onshore
(After not getting much of a response from Eliot at least not yet... Marsha and I finally hop off of the boat and onto the shore, with me slinging the bag of food from the restaurant onto my back. After taking a brief look around us I make an observation:)
This place looks much better off than where we just were.
Dat's for sure, Marly. Dis'll be great!

June 27thFinley gets off the boat, looking around.
"There should be a checkpoint ahead. Don't worry. You just need to identify yourself and be checked for anything dangerous. It's regular."
I'm Huney B now. Okay?"They can't. That process would take far too long. We won't kill you on sight if you do have it though. We're not barbarians."
I'm Huney B now. Okay?"Alright, then."
Dieter heads over to the checkpoint.
"Uh, hey, I'm Dieter and I'm entering here."
They present their bag, which, aside from a metal statue of Entei, some berry pots and berries, along with the usual stuff travelers have, has little of note.

PJ: "Well thank god. At least I know I don't have to hide out in a corner for the duration of our visit here."
*I hop off the boat right beside Finley, looking back over to see if Eliot's not far behind us.*
PJ: "Hey El, you still got my book on you?"
Are you ready? Go live!(Sunny gets up, puts her scriptbook away and leaves the ship. She looks to her right, and her eyes suddenly go wide. If she weren't a reptile, her face would be going pale.)
Cher Seigneur! Mes amies! Mes amies! Aiyeeeeee!!! (She shrieks.)

"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."A Snubbull in the checkpoint booth nods after looking through his stuff, pointing to the entrance to Foxfell.
"You're free to enter. NEXT!"
Finley is about to step up before turning, looking at Sunny confused. "What's up?"
I'm Huney B now. Okay?(Sunny wordlessly points to somewhere on shore not far from where the boat is coming in. A battered Wailmer is swimming towards the shore. She has an unconscious Rhyperior wearing a soggy feathered hat and frilled collar on top of her as she swims up to the sand. Both look like they were in some sort of fight. The Wailmer has large pinch marks all over her blubbery hide and the Rhyperior has a few gashes on him. The Wailmer rolls onto shore, gently laying the Rhyperior beside her, then exhaustedly rolling back.)
Someone...please help...! (The Wailmer weakly calls, tears running down her ball-shaped body.)
It is Monsieur Javert and Madame Eponine from my old acting troupe! (Sunny shrieks.) Zey are injured! We must help zem!!
(Sunny thunders up the beach toward her injured friends.)

"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."[Choosing to wait to eat until we're all acclimated and actually in Foxfell, I perk up when PJ asks about his book.] "Oh, yea, a'got it!" [I reach into my bag and pull out PJ's book.] "Want me t'still carry it? Y'don't really have much on ya in terms of...terms of carrying..."
[I watch wordlessly as Sunny frantically points out a couple of Pokémon approaching the shore, one laying the other down. Seeing Sunny shoot off for them, I give one more look to PJ before placing the book down and following her.]

Foxfell Dock Checkpoint
(Ugh...given Finley's reaction earlier, I wonder if their definition of "dangerous" is as twisted as the United States...) *Sarah thinks to herself...the only thing she's worried about is losing her box of Persim joints. In any case, she heads up to the checkpoint and hands over her duffel pack*
*the pack's contents include a number of those Wonder Cart flyers in a sewn-on compartment [not immediately apparent], the box of Persim joints, the first aid kit, a wallet with money [with Carbon Footprint styling], and that hollow husk of a computer mouse she picked up from the SE Agartha ruins. She explains to the checkpoint guard with that last one* It's an inert relic I picked up in some underground ruins. *not wanting anyone in the party to hear*
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.Finley follows the others, careful, while the guard does his job checking the luggage. "You're fine. Go ahead."
He looks over to Marsha. "... Not my job, pal."

I'm Huney B now. Okay?Thank you so much! Please...would you happen to have an antidote or some other medicine on you? (The Wailmer sobs.) I think Javert and I have both been poisoned...I hurt so much and I'm scared we're both going to die. Javert isn't dead already, is he? ...please help us...
(Close inspection will show that Javert is actually still alive. He is stirring slightly.)
(Eponine explains what happened to them.)
My acting troupe and I were heading to Foxfell to figure out what to do with our troupe because we just lost two of our members... (She explains.) We were taking a boat over there when...all of a sudden, this huge wave of water came from out of nowhere and flipped the boat over. Then we were attacked by the biggest group of Clamperls we had ever seen. Some of them were attacking us, and others were taking all of the valuables out of our wagon and the boat, even the gold trimming on the sides...
They weren't done yet. After they cleaned out the wagon, this Gorebyss and this Huntail came up to us, and the Gorebyss told us about how we needed to join them...but then she dipped her beak in a flask of something that looked like Seviper poison, drove it into the four of us and poisoned us.
(Eponine motions to a small puncture wound on her side where the Gorebyss attacked her. Those looking at Javert might spot where Javert was struck, namely on his belly just above his "belt".)
Poor Beauregard... (Eponine continues.) He was stabbed in the chest by her when she poisoned him...he didn't last long at all before he...he...
(The Wailmer slumps down unhappily, tears running down her body again.)
The last thing I remember seeing was our troupe leader, Tyrell Georgés standing up on the capisized boat to face them, and then I woke up and he, Beauregard, and the robbers were gone...I don't know what happened to Beauregard's body, but I think Georgés may have run the robbers off and gone to get help. I saw his tuxedo on the boat when I woke up.
(Eponine opens her mouth to reveal a nice looking tuxedo. The tux is soggy but otherwise none the worse for wear.)

Purrloin Jani by shrubBird
Foxfell Beach
Thanks...and... *finally snapping out of her own little world, she catches the cries about "poison" from the Wailmer and says* ...uh, I'll need a rain check on that crossing... *before bounding over to them. She pulls out her first aid kit and says* Is it like...a "Toxic" poison? If so, I should have something for that... *and starts rifling through the kit*
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus."Just..." [In this moment, I feel so very overwhelmed...I take a step back...they've been poisoned, attacked...one of them didn't...oh, lord...oh, lord...]
[No, I need...I need to focus...hospital. These two need to be taken to a hospital. I whip around, only to see Sarah approach. Right...that first aid kit of hers. If she's got something like that, it could help. I check Javert again to make sure he's still breathing, then say to her,] "Y'sure it's gonna be enough for the two of them?"
It definitely looked and feels like that sort of poison... (Eponine says to Sarah.) Please just find something...
Oh my poor friends... (Sunny says sadly, walking up to Eponine and giving the large whale-like Pokémon a hug.)
(It then registers to Eponine that her former Heliolisk troupe mate is there.) B-Burns? What are you doing here?
I am travelling to Foxfell with my new friends here to make amends with Madame Liesl. (Sunny explains.) I know what you are thinking, and yes, I have very much learned my lesson. I was a terrible friend to all of you. I am so sorry, mom amie...
(Eponine looks slightly skeptical.)

"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."Seeing the two wash up on shore shocks Mila into silence for a moment, but when she sees Sarah rush over and hears Eliot's concerns, she realizes that she has no excuse not to help as well, since she'd bought a first aid kit earlier for herself. Wasn't this what she was afraid of? Panicking and being unable to help? So, reminding herself that she has no option to run away, she moves over to the others and tries to pull out the first aid kit on her way over.
"Hey! I can... I can help too, if there's not enough."
I need to update these things more often

We've finally made it. I get off the boat, and wait for everyone else to do the same.
“How long has it been? 23 days?”
