Outside the Inn

(A Fennekin is hiding under a bush or a small tree of some kind, clearly not enjoying the weather at all... also seemingly oblivious to anything but said weather, staring up into the sky.)

...Storms, why is it always storms when I ask for something interesting to happen? I hope this isn't a serious one or I'm doomed... I mean, I kinda feel like I'm doomed anyway but—

(A bolt of lightning interrupts their monologue, causing them to jump up in a panic.)

Ok, yep, definitely doomed, bad bad bad...

(Even if someone approached them, it would likely take a bit of effort to keep their attention at the moment.)

I notice something hiding in a nearby bush, so I searched it.

(A Fenniken? Did the 'Mon appear from out thin air?)

"Are you alright?" I Inquire while pulling a branch from the wreckage and offering it to the Fire-type.

(The unknown Fennekin looks at the stick, confused by the sudden introduction of such a thing.)

A stick? I... don't understand. Why a stick?

(They then look at the stranger, equally confused upon realizing what they're looking at.)

Wait wait wait, hold on, who and what are you? Do you know somewhere better to hide from the storm? Please say yes...

Outside the inn

Well...Maran and I were spending ze morning on ze beach when Phoebe's barge arrived- (Sunny pauses when her voice changes again.) Please bear with me. Zis is what I am cursed with...anyway, first we saw my old troupe leader Tyrell Georgés running past after swimming away from it. Zen Phoebe and her clan arrived and caused chaos across ze town!

What happened next? (Polly asks.)

A scuffle with Phoebe and a number of Clamperls at the Blissparce in...I did not see what happened to Goobert at first...

(At this point, June tugs her Machoke face off like a mask, revealing her actual face, and the rest of her fades back into her normal Zoroark self. She adds on to what Sunny is telling everyone:) Gooby was just tryin' t' protect Benji 'n I from her. He swung 'n punched her away, but then she got mad and stuck him with her face! Then after that, Gooby just shrank away int' a Clamperl and she took him away...just watchin' it happen t' Gooby was just terrifyin'...makes me wish I coulda done somethin', but I just froze while it was happenin' to him...


(As Sunny and June explain what happened, Rich looks to the others among the cursed mons.) Whaddyeh say? Ye goin' t' join us as we look for clues?

(Maran turns away from Henry long enough to address Rich.) Well, bzz, I should really get inside before- (Before he can finish speaking, the rain triggers his curse.) ...well, too late now. But I think I'll go into the inn and rest anyway. I'm exhausted. Bzzz....

Yeah, me too. (Cortez says. He mostly just wants to get away from Henry, though. He immediately turns and begins heading inside ahead of anyone and everyone else.)

So will I. Let us know what you find. (Liesl says.)

Is there anyone in need of help in the inn? (Bo asks.)

Yeh can find Judy inside and see if there's anythin' ye can help with, sure. (Polly tells the Chansey.) She's the Tyrantrum.

Alrighty! (Bo says, waddling inside.)

(Rich turns to Salty(?).) Ye comin' too, matey?


(As much as I want to join everyone in looking, I feel apprehensive about leaving Mother so soon after we just got back together.) Mama, do you-

Della, silly, I'll be fine. You can join everyone else. (She tells me.) Besides, we need to see if Bruce's partner is in there anyway, and you need to get one step closer to getting Goobert back, don't you?

(She knows me well...) Well, of course... (I nod and go back to join the others...)'

(Wait, what's going on now? Did Daniel find a Clamperl-...oh, no it's only a Fennekin hiding in the bushes. Are they a survivor of the invasion?) Daniel, who is that?


(Renata sighs and shakes her head after Delilah turns away. Once this is all over, she needs to have a talk with her about certain things.)

Salty, having been staring off into space sometime during the reunion, comes to when Rich asks them a question.

"Oh, yeah, right, sorry fer spacin' out there, matey... Real glad Polly's okay at least by the way..."

Outside

Shit, is that a kid?

Stellan quickly runs over to the Fennekin and attempts to look them over.

Are you quite alright? We must've missed you earlier when we tried to comb the town. We'll take you inside if ya want.

He looks over at Daniel.

If they can't walk, do you mind helping me?


June, she...froze in the pivotal moment that could've saved him from being captured. I have half a brain to give her a piece of my mind but...yet I am not giving into those thoughts. June is too kind of a girl to really be blamed for this. They're all too kind, victims of their shit circumstances.

I sigh after listening to the story.

Its not anyone's fault this happened, if I'm being honest. You all still did what you could to fend her off and the fact that the rest of you still made it makes me feel a sense of relief. Anyway, I think we gotta get to moving now. Grigs is already in the air.

Clayton begins to move amongst the side of the road, digging down and popping up to check his bearings, with the goal of funneling towards the row of houses. I begin to follow.


Addie trots out to see the commotion and amongst the crowd she does see Bruce. A wave of relief cascades her as she rushes to her boyfriend.

Ah...Bruce...glad ya did make it.

ADDIE!—Oh thank Arceus...after Suz'n'Brady didn't make it I thought—

Yeah...let's get yeh inside, eh, lover boy? Gotta make sure ya didn't get injured or anythin.

Comb the town? Uh... erm... this is a lot of information at once and—

(Another distant flash startles them further.)

A-and I'm not sure this is the place to hear any of it! But, I think I can walk?

(They get up slowly, but unsteadily, not helped by the soggy terrain.)

Just please don't ask me to go fast.

"I'm not really sure -who- this is. But he's definitly not aware of the situation." I respond with my steel jaws to whomever asked me.

"I remembered that Fennekins like to munch on sticks to fuel their fires. Anyway this town (If you could call it that) was attacked by a Gorebyss called Phoebe and her Clamperl army, who presumably where transmuted into that shape." I inform the new arrival, "I think I'll be able to get you somewhere out of this rain."

I turn to whoever addressed me earlier, "One of us might have to stay behind, so that that person can let the newcomer of what's going on in more depth. That is he or she doesn't know."

(They seem shocked by one part of that statement in particular.)

T-transmuted? That, uh... it sounds oddly familiar for some reason. Maybe that's too vague, but I also can't remember the exact details either...

(They— no, I go over to a puddle, looking at my scattered, yet distinct reflection, before looking back over at the others.)

Uh, anyway... you can call me Igni. That definitely sounds like a name I'd have, yeah.

(I simply can't deny it any longer, having seen my own visage in the water. This is really happening, so I try my best to go with it, having internally worked out at least a small bit of what's going on by this point.)

Stellan lumbers forth to the inn, taking glances back every few steps to make sure Igni is following him.

Thank yeh, matey. (Rich says.)

Nice t' properly meetcha, by th' way! (Polly says.)

(Those among the cursed mons also go back inside, with the exceptions of Marsha, Delilah, Benji, June, and Rich. Polly is also still out, ready to join everyone in searching for leads on Phoebe.)

Let's get going. We can talk along the way.


Whispering Pines (Town)

(There are so many damaged houses everywhere...many of them look as though they were hit by many Water-type attacks at once. Is that one building that was collapsed completely? How many Clamperls were in that one??)

Really makes ya wondah how many people she's got with her if they could make this big a mess. (I hear Marsha remark.) How many do you fellas think she-OWW!!!

(All of a sudden, Marsha screams and grabs her foot.) Marsha??

Ugh, sorry, I stepped on somethin' sharp! (She grunts.) Ow...least I'm not bleedin'...

(If anyone in the current group were to look at where Marsha stepped, they might see a dull pink object, a scale with a visible dent in it, on the ground.)

Back towards the Inn

Daniel... that's a nice name.

(Indeed, I am following Stellan, even if my movement speed is a bit slow due to unfamiliar footing. Though I am likely still visibly concerned due both to what I've heard and the still-ensuing storm overhead, I can at least see the potential of this situation and try to stay optimistic in some capacity.)

Indeed, dry is nice, and hopefully I'll be able to make sense of all this soon. It's so much at once, incredible but terrifying at the same time... oh, I'm probably making no sense again. Sorry.

(I'm honestly not trying to sound so vague and mysterious, but old habits are hard to break, unfortunately.)

The town

Shit. Not even five minutes into trying to solve the mystery of what could be driving this Gorebyss and already...Marsha winds up stepping on something sharp. I immediately come to her aid, as Clayton goes to investigate the object.

Marsh, are you okay? I can take a look at it if you need me to...what did you even step on anyway?

Clayton investigates the object in about every capacity he can; inspecting possible smells, the shape, textures...he knows exactly what this object is.

Deep Sea Scale. Object used to evolve Clamperls into Gorebyss. Used already. It's clear to me from a simple glance at this that she's selecting random victims and forcing them to evolve. But why would she leave this one particular scale here...? There must be something else nearby than just this. You up there, Grigori, right? Tell me if you see anything up top.

Deep Sea Scale. Of course, how could I forget that bit of knowledge?

The inn

Easy does it kid...alright, just come under this little canopy.

Stellan looks back indoors. As Bruce and Addie are sharing their embraces Stellan tries to rouse someome else from within to come help Igni.

We might have a kid here...can't tell who they might've belonged to.

Belong? I don't quite understand. I... well, I don't really belong to anyone, especially not here, and if I did, my memory's been a bit spotty in that regard. Though... I guess now I technically belong to your group in some way? Seems better than the alternatives.

(Following the directions and finally getting out of the drenching rain, as soon as I'm fully inside I shake off some of the moisture that's stuck to me, letting out a bit of a sigh.)

Anyway, I feel like I can finally think straight now that we're in here, so if someone wants to tell me the general idea of what's happening, be it what's happened to me or otherwise, please do...

(I do end up glaring a bit as another bolt of lightning from the storm outside flashes and rumbles in the distance, but given how long I was out there I'm at least able to largely disregard it for the time being.)

#41218: Sep 3rd 2019 at 9:11:06 PM

Whispering Pines, Town

Mila quiets down again as the new arrivals make their way inside and some of the humanmons exit the building. She's not sure what they're planning to do, but she may as well follow for now. Spotting a lost Fennekin, however, she considers going back to the inn with them to help explain; something tugs at her as she remembers her own first few days with Autumn before she'd evolved. But an inability to speak up in time and the progress of the others pulls her away, and Mila is forced to file yet another thing in the back of her mind for later.

What does catch her attention (aside from the approaching bolts of lighting and thunder, causing her to prickle up with a sympathetic welling of energy) is Clayton's discovery and subsequent explanation. Everything about it seems a bit... sudden, and she's not sure if she agrees with his assessment.

"Wait— how do you know that's what happened? Why would she even want to do that? Couldn't it have just been something she gave to one of her lieutenants to use as a surprise if necessary? It seems like you're getting a lot out of a little there..."

(More new arrivals. Let's hope they can adjust quickly. I overheard the others talking about a Deep Sea Scale and wondered why is this doing here? It might be connected to her, but why make more Gorebyss? When the Excadrill yelled, something caught my eye over at a nearby house, whatever's left of it. I made my discovery known.) Found something by a nearby house.

(I fly close to the ruined building to point out which one.)

Whispering Pines (Town)

Eh, don't bothah, Marly, I'm not bleedin' or anything. (Marsha says, looking at the underside of her foot again.)

Mila has a point. That scale could have been used for anything. (I add.) For all we know, it could have belonged to someone in this town who dropped it during the invasion. If this was used by Phoebe or anyone with her, we need to find proof that it was.

In the meantime, what say we hold on to the scale for now and see what Grigori found, eh? ( Benji says, moving toward where Grigori is.)


Oh, it's normally just such a wonderful place. (Polly tells Salty.) Peaceful 'n quiet, barely any noise...it's a wonderful vacation spot. Much be'er place t' live than Slak Rock by a long shot. Mine and my siblin's parents actually used t' take us 'ere on vacation every few months 'fore they passed away. Seein' it in such disarray is just...kinda heartbreakin'...

(At this point, the cursed mons who didn't go with the clue-hunting crew have gathered in the lounge to warm up by the fire. Having absentmindedly forgotten to leave with the clue-hunting crew, Henry has rejoined his Tenn and Shelley at the table in the lounge. Periodically, Henry and Maran turn and look at each other suspiciously. Shelley appears to be feeling a little better and is eating a sandwich. Cortez is dozing.)

(Meanwhile, Lucy continues conversing with Patch as the Smeargle continues painting and Dinah and the Slowking look on. Judy and Bo can be heard conversing down the inn hallway. Renata is in the middle of the lounge, still with Bruce and now Addie.)

Town

Right...you do have a point. But, at the same time, from what we learned about her before her army invaded is that she only has one other mon with her that isn't a Clamperl to act as her muscle. On her own, she really can't fight all that well, hence that muscle. So, it might make sense that she would need more Gorebyss and/or Huntail to help bolster her defenses. Emphasis on might. Regardless, we will keep this safe for now.

Clayton marches ahead and scours for any other scales while I look up toward Grigs, after reaffirming that Marsha is alright.

Can you bring it to us? Can you tell what it is right from where you are?

Inn

Stellan looks at Igni a bit confused, as he really has no clue who this mon is now that he's discounted the idea of them being a lost kid. Nevertheless...

We..we're trying to stop a Gorebyss from growing her army. Just take a rest for a bit, you must've been through a lot here, and maybe we'll try to pin down where you've came from.


Wow, so you're really the Renata? Nice't be in the presence of someone who was so famous once.

The strangest thing is it feels like I've been resting for ages, yet not at all at the same time, honestly. Maybe that's just because of the stress of all this happening at once, though...

(I head over towards a nearby chair, laying down on it in short order.)

Also, why did you keep calling me a kid? Am I really that young? For all I know, I probably am. Any weird thing's possible by this point.

(Though my mind is running rampant with ideas of what might be true or not, the fact remains that I'm lost and confused in an unfamiliar world... a bad combination, but I do feel a degree of relief about having met them first. I overhear someone else inquiring about me, but presume for now that Stellan or someone who already knows my name will let them know.)

If you are asking me to speak to my brother, then I am not sure I'm ready for that, Tenn. (Henry says.)

You have been talking about revealing what all has happened to you to him for who knows how long at this point, though. (Shelley points out.)

I just need time to prepare myself for it, that's all... (Henry says.) We have not had a meaningful conversation since I left Hoard five years ago.
