It missed! Hahaha! How are you still fighting me?! He eats a Blast Seed, creating a blast right in front of him.
ALL ABOARD THE BIG SHOT EXPRESS!!!!!
Konknitive Dissonance
Royal manages to guard his body against the Play Rough, still getting scratched up by the assault. He panics as the Seed gets tossed at him and he processes what he's being told by Dylan. In his panic, Royal kicked the seed upward to keep it away from him. Thinking fast and heeding Dylan's advice, the Raboot kicked the seed forward as it came back down.
He didn't realize it, but his foot was suddenly ablaze as he made his second kick, which likely would have set the seed on fire as well.
"... Well, even if that messed up the seed's gimmick, I guess that's still an Ember."
Scampton
BINGO! The flaming seed hits Maxwell's tail directly, causing lots of damage! AAAAHHHH!!! *heavy panting* that… hurt... but... I'm... still... alive and kicking...

Mila
To the Bedsheets
Having difficulty tracking where the Thievul had gone off to after they disappeared, Mila waited until she heard their yelp from being hit with the seed, and launched off another Thunder Wave in the same direction, trying to make the net wider this time to have a better chance of catching them with it. At the same time, hearing the yelp of pain, Autumn jumped forwards into the space between them... or what she guessed would be the space, holding up a Protect barrier and trying to separate the two sides from any more attacks at the immediate moment.
"Come on, stop this! Nobody is going to get anything from this... what do you even want from us?"
I need to update these things more often
Konknitive Dissonance
Royal kicked up a pebble and began juggling it with his feet.
"Dude, Dylan doesn't want to live under you anymore. It'll be better for both of you if you just let go, leave him be, and move on with your life. I can't exactly say I want to seriously hurt anyone, but if you don't stop, I won't."
The pebble ignites intoa small fireball, still being kicked up in a juggle.
Vs. Maxwell
(Quicker than I thought. When he threw the seed at me, I reflexively brought out my Leaf Blade to intercept it. Regardless of what happens, I continued to keep my distance and let the others keep him busy.)

Yeah, just leave Dylan and us alone already! (I concur with Royal, building up a Dragon Pulse but not using it yet.)
(Delilah lands and glares in Maxwell's direction.)

"Just...just cut your losses, dude. This Dylan kid was stutterin' when we found him." [My hands fall back to my sides. The others are already doing enough of the threatening, so we might as well not go for overkill.]
Shapeless wisp of wind
Deciding to finally join in, Roland calmly pulls out a Thick Club and twirls it, sliding the ends across his head and lighting them up. With his weapon ready, he walks up to the others.
"So… can someone point me in his general direction?"
The Best Worst Psychonaut
Mayor Cygnot gives a brief aside glance to Ultramarine - she shrugs, tapping her quill against her mouth, and subtly shrugs. The Swanna turns back to face the others.
"Heh... I suppose calling them 'boxes' is a bit of an oversimplification. They do have some features. I'm told they're... 'post-modern'. That's what Serris says, in any event. I've heard he has knowledge of the old human world, so I just defer to him on such matters."
He turns to address Marlon's concern, craning his neck down to inspect his injury. "Hmm, I see..." he lied, doing his best 'knowledgeable figure closely inspecting the issue' sort of gesture, complete with chin-rubbing. "No physical activity, then? Not to worry, you could also join the all-encompassing, ever-expanding bureaucracy! We're going to need more mons to keep track of all the residents and possessions that are going to get moved around. It's really more fun than it sounds - believe me, before I got elected I was the city's chief tax accountant! You just sort of do it automatically after a certain point, like a... meditation, almost."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! DID YOU REALLY THINK I CARED ABOUT HIM?! NO! I DON'T CARE FOR DYLAN AND I NEVER DID! THE SOLE REASON I EVER "BEFRIENDED" HIM IS TO HAVE SOMEBODY TO BLAME FOR MY CRIMES! AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT MY CONS, I'M TALKING ABOU SOMETHING WAY WORSE... WAY WORSE INDEED. JUST HAND THE SCAPEGOAT OVER OR I WILL MAKE YOU REGRET THE DAY YOU WERE BORN!

Roland nods to Eliot, saying, "Okay, thank you." He walks forward a bit and calls out to everyone else. "Step back, please!"
He bends his knees before leaping into the air, raising his club over his head. As he nears the ground, he swings down and slams the club into the earth, creating an Earthquake focused in a general fan-shape in front of him. If that Thievul is anywhere in his line of sight, then he's got a pretty good chance of getting hit.

(I quickly jump back when Roland unleashes his Earthquake. Delilah backs away as well, pulling Dylan back with her as she does so.)
Silversand
Hmm, what do you think of that? (Angelo asks Marlon.)
(Marsha still can't help but feel very skeptical about all of this given that Serris is involved, but nevertheless she looks at Marlon, anticipating his answer.)
"Hey, gimme a minute to get to know everyone, 'kay, Brainy?" "Of course, but please allow me to get a word in, too, bzz."
Scampton
The earthquake hit!
Wait, what did I just say? I feel dizzy...
One last shot should do it! Get ready team!

"With pleasure" said Royal, kicking his Ember at the Thievul.
Scampton
The ember hit, causing his tail to burn!
Ok, ok, ok I get the message! I’ll leave this kid alone, he was honestly kind of annoying anyway
Hey!
Well, I guess this is goodbye for now, he's your responsibility now, and I had fun battling with you guys! Consider us on good terms now. Ok? I’ll let you go on to the place you were going to go, what was that place called again? Bedsheets? That name is so dumb. See you again!

[...I just shake my head. Just a moment ago, the guy was screaming at us. You'd think he had a split worse than me...folds like a card, good lord...]
"...guys, let's just..." [We've wasted enough time already...it's really starting to get dark. Can we even make it to the Bedsheets in time?]
[Adjusting the strap of my bag, I pull away from this Maxwell dude and head back the way we were going.]

Um...sure. (Delilah says, also turning to go. I’m still too puzzled by this whole situation to say anything as I also get moving.)

Royal returns to his usual stance, feet firmly on the ground, hands in pockets.
He briefly shoots Dylan a thumbs up before he follows with everyone else.
Scampton
I have a question, why is the place called bedsheets?
ALL ABOARD THE BIG SHOT EXPRESS!!!!!En Route to Bedsheets
(All those fancy items and he can't even take a few hits. Predictable. I kept my eyes on him if he tried anything. At least we can agree on one thing: that this place's name is indeed stupid.)
(Sighing, I looked at the Raboot, the one that put in the most work in that scuffle. Might as well talk to him about it.) Your first fight in and already you've sent that fox packing. How does it feel?
(I answered the Orbeetle's question about the place's name.) The closest thing I got is that it used to be a hotel of some kind. As for why that particular name, I haven't the faintest idea.

Really satisfying, to be honest. That fox was on my... carapace for around a year, it feels good to send him packing.

"Pretty rewarding, I gotta say. I really felt like one with the moves I was using, this Raboot body seems to just... Get hot to Double Kick and Ember like any other Raboot, I guess" said Royal, his eyes shining for a brief moment. "The guy was pretty shitty too, so I could mostly let loose on him and not have to worry."
"About the Bedsheets... Your guess is as good as mine, buddy. I never knew the people who were a part of it. Maybe it's a reference to hiding under your bedsheets and how they were a covert organization or something? I dunno."
To Bedsheets
(Wow, I can't believe we got him!)
Whoa! (Delilah quickly rolls to the left to avoid the X-Eye Seed. I swing with one of my antennae at where I think Maxwell is again.)
