Prim, proper, and yet so socially awkward
Well, as long as June's careful I'm fine with her using her illusions as she likes. (I say.) As long as she doesn't turn me or Del into jam again.
Yeah! I don't want t' make people mad or scared! I just wanna make people happy! (June uses an illusion on herself and makes herself look as though she has an enormous head.)
Oh... (Delilah says, bewildered.)

"Heh, well you certainly made me happy. Didn't expect this illusion would make me feel this much like a Skuntank."

If I'm makin' people happy with my illusions and they're actually feelin' them, then I'm usin' them right! (June says to Zebediesalt, dropping her head illusion.) Glad yer enjoyin' it!
(I sit down and lean against Delilah as June chats with everyone. I can see that Delilah herself is still somewhat confused by June's illusions, looking on with a bemused smile.)

At the heart of the world...
[I nod along as she speaks, feeling, dare I say, impressed? Well, either way, it's nice that she's been adjusting well enough.]
"...wait..." [Her talking about "some Orbs" finally clicks in my head: she would've had to have found some Reset Orbs if that's the case.] "...Lucy, are there any more of those Orbs left?"
Prim, proper, and yet so socially awkward
We have a few left, but Mr. Benji told us not t' use them unless we really need to. (Lucy tells Eliot.) And Miss Dinah's told me not t' touch any without lettin' them know first! Think we have...some Invisibility Orbs, Transfer Orbs, Gender Orbs, and one Escape Orb! Think we have two or three of each of the other ones!

Hey, maybe Benji could take you out to the Shifter whenever he gets done taking care of Dinah or something. (I suggest.)
"I shall not be foolish again, my dear Gwendolyn!"
Foxfell
"Oh? That'd be swell. Guessin' the Shifter is 'is boat?"

Prim, proper, and yet so socially awkward
Yeah, it's his boat. (I say.) We docked it further up the beach. Maybe when we're done meeting up with Finley's parents we can ask him if he'll let you take it out for a spin.
"I shall not be foolish again, my dear Gwendolyn!"
Foxfell
"Ah, good. Second guess was that 'e was the boat."
"But anyway, yeah, I'll see what 'e thinks. Hopefully 'e'll be willin' t' supervise me er somethin' so I don't do too bad a job on my first time."

A Quagsire wearing a leather jacket comes into the pub, looking around to see if she can see anyone familiar and, if not, heads to order something from the bar.

Marlon > June and Co,
Hmm..
(I ask after thinking for a bit.)
Actually, you guys mind allowing us to stay with you while we are here?
(I ask.)
Tell....everyone....

Well, I wouldn't put it past Benji ta somehow turn himself inta his own boat. (Marsha chuckles to Salty(?).) But yeah, figure my bro wouldn't no teachin' ya stuff.
Ooh! I bet we could let ya stay with us! (June chirps.) Long as ya don't have any other places yer plannin' ta stay! We've already been lettin' Gooby and his pals stick around.
Pub
(A strange jagged ring is floating above a stool at the bar. An invisible force is holding a glassful of a soda up a few inches above it.)
"I shall not be foolish again, my dear Gwendolyn!"
Atlas
The Ruff Stuff
A Zoroark sitting in the corner of the bar stares into his full glass. He hasn't touched the contents yet - with any luck, he's going to be engaging in some very sensitive negotiations soon, and he wants to be completely sober for that. Still, he's decided it wouldn't hurt to have a celebratory drink ready.
Tastes better on the way back down.
Mila
In Town
On hearing mention of staying with June and co. Mila can't help but feel a bit sick. She remembers the last time illusions were at play with Finley, and given the nature of their visit here the thought itself doesn't feel like it'll be leaving her mind if they stay there.
"Actually, I imagine Finley will have accommodations for us, right? And if I'm being honest... I'd really rather not. I just... don't think it'd be good for me or others to have that chaos around."

(June visibly seems a bit disappointed, but smiles and nods at Mila anyway.)
Gotcha! I understand! Sometimes even Grandpa needs time away from us! (June says.) Hope that place is a good place, too! There's lots of cool places to stay around here, ya know!
"I shall not be foolish again, my dear Gwendolyn!"

-to Marsha- "Heh, cool, looking forward to it."
-to Mila- "Eh, fair. Think I can handle it, but don't want you or others feelin' uncomfortable."

Meet The New Boss
Purrloin Jani by shrubBird
Main Group
*Lilly nods to Lucy, then tells her* Yup! It was a mite frightenin' at first, they were shootin' at us and everythin'...but turned out to be a rivalry or somethin', a bunch of princes and princesses vyin' for the throne, and the pirate was a prince shootin' at the Wailord prince...
*realizing that this story is going off the rails, she summarizes it by saying* In the end, they didn't turn out to be all that bad...just kinda egotistical and all.
The Ruff Stuff
*at this time, Sarah is too enraptured by Kobayashi to notice the Zoroark silently mulling about. She sees the glass suspended in midair behind Kobayashi, but her Weirdness Censor blocks it out. She instead asks Kobayashi*
Job before last? What was that like? Guessing it's not related to that serial killer you guys were hunting?
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.
At the heart of the world...
"Yea, going to Slak Rock was...well, I kinda don't wanna talk about it. We were only ever there for, like two days, and before the second day, our mission there got...kinda derailed, so that's...yea, it was a shitshow...d-don't repeat that, okay?"
[I go back to my previous question, deciding to whisper it to Lucy instead of saying it out loud:] "You, uhh...happen to have any Reset Orbs? Not for my sake, though...i-it's complicated."
Prim, proper, and yet so socially awkward
Outside
Wow! (Lucy says.) Wish we coulda met those princes and princesses though! That sounds like it was cool t' meet them!
(Lucy says this, of course, without knowing the whole sordid story behind it all.)
(Then she hears Eliot ask her a question.) Hmm, I dunno. I know Mrs. Phyllis and Mr. Angelo had to use two of them on me and Ms. Dinah when I was a Gollypod and she was a Bergmite. Maybe we have one left in Delilah's bag?
(Lucy glances over at Delilah's satchel, which is carrying most of our supplies along with the various Wonder Orbs Benji picked up while we were in Agartha.)
Ruff Stuff
(The jagged ring moves off the stool and towards the jacketed Quagsire that just came in. Cam turns fully visible.) Hey, uh, 'scuse me, you wouldn't happen to know when the next boat off of this island is, would you?

"I shall not be foolish again, my dear Gwendolyn!"
The Quagsire, feeling like she finds something familiar about the Zoroark goes over and asks a question.
"You waitin' for something, buddy?"
She then is accosted by a Kecleon and responds with a shrug.
"Beats me. I just got off the last boat I knew was coming here, anyway."

How did your parents have Reset Orbs?

Hearing the Quagsire, the Zoroark shrugs his shoulders.
"Waiting for someone, specifically. We had a deal going."

Figure dat Benji just picked dem up with all da otha Orbs he nabbed while we were in Agartha. (Marsha shrugs.)

Oh, okay, thanks anyway. (Cam chuckles.) Kinda got on the wrong boat tryin' to get back to Gleamscape. Hit my head and thought I went on the right one...been stuck here since last night. What brings you her-
(Cam walks into a chair she isn't looking at, stumbles, and falls face flat on the ground.)
EEP! (splat) Sorry...!
