"Clamperl, huh? Well, I can get you some ice for any particularly bad bruises. So long as I don't hold it for too long... As for the poison..."
She gets out some sort of mashed pink paste for Javert.
"Eat this, make sure any remaining traces of it are out of your system?"
The doctor looks at said Tyrunt, figuring she'll probably get to him after the current group.

At the heart of the world...
[I walk alongside this next group of people, having caught up with them after I was finished with doing what I wanted to do. Honestly, I shouldn't coy about it, especially within the confines of my own mind: Rossetti (original flavor, would cause less of a commotion that way) is back, and the beret is now sitting snugly on my head.]
[I'm about to come into the hospital behind Marlon, though he looks like he's forgotten a couple of things. He's missing his scarf, that bag...I decide to double back and make sure he didn't leave it in our immediate area, I dunno...]
[...well, doesn't look it. I decide to head back in and...huh, he already...has it? Whaaaaat? Fueled by confusion (and hunger, like seriously, I just Transformed on an empty stomach, this isn't doing any wonders for my current state), I walk over towards him and tap him on the shoulder.]
Prim, proper, and yet so socially awkward
(Javert takes some of the odd pink paste and swallows it, making quite a strange face as he does so.) Eugh...nasty...
C'mon, Hugh, you've eaten worse before. (Eponine says. She turns to the doctor.) Hey, thanks a lot, ma'am.
(Then she turns around to Sunny.) And thank you again, Burns. If it wasn't for you and your friends, we probably wouldn't have made it.
It is my pleasure, mon amie. (Sunny says, giving Eponine and Javert quick hugs. She turns around. She spots Maran carrying Cortez in. For some reason, she doesn't stop staring at Maran.)
Is something wrong, Marsh? (Marlon(?) asks Marsha.) I just took my scarf off as I came in, that's all. I can go back and get it.

"I shall not be foolish again, my dear Gwendolyn!"
"Well, that should be good. But, yeah, the nurse'll get you that ice. Let me just..."
She heads over to the Tyrunt and Flygon.
"And what brings you here today?"

Marlon > Eliot, Foxfell Hospital Waiting Room
Huh?
(After grabbing a sandwich, I cock my head at a slight angle to see that Eliot's Salazzle form is now before me.
What's going on? You want some food?
(I bring the bag around my body and towards Eliot, with it slightly opened. I can sense the presence of another Gallade in the room, but I don't know who it is yet.)
Marsha > Me(?)
Ah huh...
(Marsha is feeling rather confused but doesn't bring up much more for now.)

Grrrgh... (Cortez groans.)
Boss, please stay calm. (Maran says, turning to the doctor.) You know you shouldn't have eaten that mushroom, bzz.
Whyyy won't duh Flabebes stop flyin' 'round muh heaaad... (Cortez warbles.)
(Maran shakes his head and looks ahead. He then turns to the doctor.) My nephew here ate a bad mushroom that we accidentally packed into our food supplies. Bzz. You have something for it, right?
(Maran then notices the Shiny Heliolisk in a hat staring at him. Why is she staring at him? Did he shift into his female form without realizing it right then?)
Uh, Burns? You okay? (Eponine asks Sunny, noticing that she is looking at Maran.)
Oh! Erm... Eep! Sorry...I was...I was just staring off into space, as they say... (Sunny says, nervously chuckling as she turns back to Eponine.) Ze Libégon, Il est plutôt beau, non?
Huh?
It's just on the coat rack that's by the- (Marlon(?) starts to say, pointing at the door...where there is no coat rack.) Uh...
"I shall not be foolish again, my dear Gwendolyn!"
At the heart of the world...
"Uh, yes, I'd want some—" [My head shoots around as I hear Marlon's voice...somehow coming from the other side of the...]
[...wait, what the fuck? No, yea, he's over there with Marsha but also over here with...]
[I grab a couple of snacks from out of the bag, then start stuffing them into my mouth as I walk over towards...well, really, who else could it be? Reaching up, I grab hold of Not!Marlon's crest and try to pull it down.] "So," [I say with a wry smile,] "couldn't help but come back to us playin' a trick, eh? Or're you missin' yer sister that much?" [I get a nice belly-laugh out of that last one.]
"Hm..."
The Houndoom heads off and returns with a cream-colored paste of a smilar consistency to the pink paste.
"If he's confused, this should help with that."
Meanwhile, Dieter, whose attention has been elsewhere, notices the pair, as well as Sunny's staring.
"I... feel like I've seen that fellow somewhere before, but I can't remember..."

Marlon, Marsha > Marlon(?)
(It's at this time that Marsha hears my(real!) voice from a bit down the way...she turns back to me(?) and cocks a suspicious brow as Eliot investigates them.)
(I come over, scarf in full view.)
Marsh...did you really think that you'd fall for that again?
Hehe...what're you doing here anyway, bro?
(Marsha asks.)
Tell....everyone....
Prim, proper, and yet so socially awkward
Thank you! Bzz! (Maran says, taking the paste and attempting to feed it to Cortez.) C'mon now, boss, eat this.
M-Maran...? W-Where's your neck...? (Cortez babbles, reaching for Maran's head.)
(Sunny resumes looking at Maran.) Mon amie, look at him...look at his strong wings, his lovely face, his eyes...he looks utterly wonderful...! Do you think he is as nice as he looks?
Well, why don't you try talking to him instead of just staring at him? (Eponine says.)
All right...but I will wait until he is done attending to his nephew... (Sunny says.)
(Realizing that he's sunk, Benji shifts back into his trademark Swampert form as Eliot yanks his crest and chuckles nervously.)
Heh heh, heya, fellas, sis. (Benji says.) Decided tuh go with Goobert, Delilah, and Lucy anyway. Dinah and I are gonna sightsee around here while Goobert, Delilah and Lucy hang out with you fellas. Lucy's itchin' tuh meet Finley's parents, just sayin'.
(Then he realizes what Eliot was suggesting and looks immensely embarrassed.) Oh...whoa, nelly, I was just tryin' tuh prank her by disguisin' myself as Marlon, just sayin'. Ugh...I'm never doin' that uhgin... (Benji shakes his head in disgust, not really realizing that Eliot was only kidding.)

"I shall not be foolish again, my dear Gwendolyn!"
Dieter turns their attention back to Benji.
"Oh, hey, Benji, right? I don't think I got the chance to know you too well back in Gleamscape, so... hey!"
The doctor, meanwhile, looks at Maran.
"You need some help with that?"

[Benji's reaction gets me wheezing with laughter, almost doubling over and having to put a hand on Benji's shoulder so I don't fall completely over. As my laughter dies down, I'm able to say to him,] "Dude, dude, I was joking, hehehehehehe..." [I wipe a tear from my eye, standing upright again.] "So Lucy's here, huh? Where's the others anyhow? We...kinda had t'make a detour here cuz...well, some friends of someone who was travelin' with us got...attacked and poisoned..."
Purrloin Jani by shrubBird
The Ruff Stuff
Y'know, I swore off drinking...and I'm probably about to remember why, but I really, really need this... *Sarah tells Milo, right before the barkeep sets down both their drinks. Sarah's is pretty high proof, a quick whiff of it makes her reel and wonder if it's safe for consumption. Milo's Leppa Cider and Kobayashi's Lansat cocktails are also set by their respective buyers*
To be honest, I have no idea what to do again...I do not want to be busing tables again... *Sarah says, before downing the beverage...only to just as swiftly wretch* UGH...so going to pay for this later...
*she then turns to Milo to say* A part of me actually wants to like...do...whatever it is you do, or did...before you met up with them. High adventure sounds like way more fun...
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.

(Benji chuckles even more embarrassedly when he realizes that Eliot was joking.) Oh, heh heh, I feel dumb, just sayin'.
Ooh, that's not good... (Benji says when he hears about why they were going to the hospital here, glancing over to Javert and Eponine and guessing that they're who Eliot is talking about.) Well, anyway, yeah, everyone's here. Goobert, Delilah, Dinah, and Lucy are all at June's house. You guys remember June from thuh carnival right? (Benji assumes June's form.) The Zoroark Goobert swapped bodies with that time. We bumped intuh her and her grandpa after comin' intuh town and they invited us tuh stay with them while we're here.
(Benji turns to Dieter, taking their Girafarig form while doing so.) Oh hey there, you must be- AHEM, you must be Dieter, yeah? You doin' okay? We heard ya got cursed and turned intuh somebody that ya use tuh know.
Hold it... (Maran says. He turns to Cortez and forces his mouth open. Cortez simply lays there limply with it open. Maran gives him the paste.)
(After a moment, Cortez shakes his head and looks up.) What in the bwazes? What's goin' on?
Okay, there we go! Bzz! Sorry, boss, I tried to tell you not to eat the mushroom. (Maran says.) You've been acting crazy all afternoon!
Ugh... (Cortez moans in embarrassment.) I'm never gonna live this down...
(Sunny cautiously approaches Maran. Maran notices Sunny approaching him.) Can I help you, miss? Bzz?
Erm... (Sunny's frills glow slightly and she turns bashfully away from him. She runs back to Eponine and Javert.)
That was strange, bzz. (Maran comments.)
(Cortez snickers.)

"Uh, yeah, I am. Actually, I kinda still know him..."
"Well, must admit it's surprising seeing someone using my body like that."
Sunny might get a brief mental ping. ~If I'm not totally misreading what you're trying to do... good luck.~

"Somebodyyyyyy-yyyyy..." [I chortle some more, but...it comes back to me, the reason why we're here. I look back to the others.] "I'm...I think we should head back and—" [Okay, I'm still laughing a little...okay, get it all out of your system, get it all out. Letting out a sigh after my last laugh escapes me, I go back to saying,] "A-a'think we should go back 'n make sure everything's going okay..."
[I don't wait on the others, heading over towards Sunny, Javert, and...the Wailmer, I don't think I got her name, giving Dieter a quick "hi" along the way. Peeking my head in, I blurt out to the patients,] "So, uhhh, is everything goin' good so far?" [It doesn't occur to me that they'd probably be confused by my current appearance, or if I would even be the same person. I also happen to notice a familiar face back from Hoard and the singing contest, with a kid no less. Kind of odd...maybe he was related to the guy who owned that inn, that asshole.]

Heh heh, sorry, still not sure why I always change intuh people I know, besides bein' a Ditto. (Benji says to Zebediet.) So...wait a minute, yer sharin' a body now?
(Sunny gets a ping from Dieter and gasps.)
What is it, Burns? (Eponine asks.)
Dieter knows zat I have a crush on ze Flygon gentleman over zere! I— (She jumps when she sees Rosetti!Eliot walking up to her and her friends.) Oh! Oui, madame...erm...everything is going all right. Thank you for asking.
Who are you again? I don't remember seeing you with Burn's friends. (Eponine asks Eliot.)
"I shall not be foolish again, my dear Gwendolyn!"
Zeb gives a nod to the Salazzle, not knowing it's Eliot, but seeing him, go off, figure he'll meet him more later.
"Uh, yup, I started being around again sometime yesterday mornin'. I'm Zeb, by the way."

Oh...I didn't think Smeargles were able to sketch Transform. Learn something new every day, I guess. (Eponine says.) I think we're both doing all right at this point...Javert? How are you coming along?
Still hurt...but doing better... (Javert tells Eliot.)
Thank you again for helping my friends, monsieur...madame?...monsieur...I am not sure I would have been able to help zem all by myself before it was too late. (Sunny says to Eliot. She is noticeably occasionally glancing back and forth between Eliot and Maran as she says this.)

"Yes, monsieur." [I catch her glancing between me and...I believe his name was Maran. I would wave at him to get his attention, see what he's been up to, but he'd probably be just as confused as these guys were seeing me like this.]
