*I turn to the door, feeling an odd giddiness wash over me as Lars busts in.*
"Yo, holy shit, is that Lars? Dudes! This is great! I remember when I pulverized his ass back in Orichalcum, that was awesome! What's he here for, do you think? Maybe he just wants me to mop the floor with him again?"
Are you ready? Go live!

Before Lars Bursted In
*Voxno-V furiously jots down notes as PJ tells his tale, then begins speculating* Hmm, perhaps the Torracat is responsible...
*Jani retorts* Nah, that's just Sushi. She more or less gave into her baser instincts on her own...she's practically feral, just without all the...tragedy of real world feralness...
*Voxno-V then continues* Well, it cannot be Dras-Il. She was almost definitely a vector, and your party calmed her. *thinking for a moment, Voxno concludes* I suggest that we visit the only pokemon that we have any chance of tracking — the Ribombee from the restaurant.
After Lars Bursted In
*Jani looks at Lars, then looks away and quietly tells the group* Shit...maybe he won't recognize me with the beret on... *then she thinks* ( Then again, what better opportunity to hone that earthquake I learned... Oh yeah, I did...didn't I. But...no! Even this place would kick me out if I did that... Do what it takes to survive. )

Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus."YOU!" Lars yelled yet again, his gaze fixating on Goobert, swiftly followed by PJ, Jani, and some others he didn't remember quite so well. He pointed at them with great force, beginning to slowly walk towards them, but with his claw always remaining pointed towards the same group.
"Fer those o' you unaware in here, I have a score to settle with this bunch. These are grade-A bastards, even to members o' the lower classes! Like fer instance, that one, right there...", he said, pointing towards PJ, "He burned all my freakin' scales off while I was trapped HELPLESS in a bottomless pit! That was his idea of a fair-freakin'-fight! An' fer your information, Fairy Godmother, I been doing some proper self-improvement since our last encounter! See, last time I made the mistake of assumin' you'd be stupid-strong, like the humans I heard about in stories! But nah, you were smart-strong, so now I learned to not rush into shit! Shit like bottomless pits set up by smug-ass li'l moles who manipulate me into actin' in ways I ain't appreciative of! ...Speakin' o' which, where the hell is she?!"
He folds his arms and begins to impatiently tap his feet against the ground, not seeming to notice Jani hiding under her beret. "Anyone? Well, y'know, if y'don't show yerself, I could always just pay every broke lowlife in this bar big money to overwhelm ya, y'know. I don't need any Arcsdamn friends, no more. They're nothin' to me now!" he finishes, responding to Guy's query.

Those sell-by-dates won't stop me because I can't read!The Mr. Mime ends up being taken to a empty room and is treated for his staged injuries. The staff then leaves him in the room none the wiser.
Mr. Mime: Mwe-he-he-he-he! My plan worked! Now I can hit on the beautiful nurses and patients while pretending to be in bad condition!

The League of Heroes*I manage to squeeze in one last word to Jani before we're spotted.*
"Who cares if he recognizes you? Won't be long before he acquaints his face with a Dazzling Gleam anyways!"
(If I didn't have an exoskeleton, I would totally crack my knuckles right now. ...Oh yeah, forgot about the exoskeleton thing, ew.)
*And then Lars recognizes us. Perfect, here we go!*
"Well well well, if it ain't Lars! You shiny-scaled bastard, how the hell are ya!"
*I speak to him with the kind of aggressive affability one would expect from an old drinking buddy.*
"Here to settle the score, my man?"

*she grins at PJ and states* Kind of hard to resist at this point
*slowly heading down the ramp, Jani is somewhat compelled to get involved* You know, Lars, after our little heart-to-heart, I thought we may have settled our differences.
*she turns and looks straight at him as she continues* Lately, I've been somewhat hankering for a fight myself. It's kind of a rush in fact. (Atta girl...)
You might say I've made some...earth shattering developments since last time.
*at this point, Voxno instinctively shifts to Unown-! form
◊ and floats in front of the duo* Control yourselves you guys!! It doesn't own you...YOU own you!

Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.Mila rushes towards the room Finley mentioned, pushing open the door carefully before looking on inside. Seeing Finley there— awake, alive, but badly wounded, pushes Mila over the tipping point. All she can do is go over to Finley's side, and sit there, crying freely now. She doesn't even try to speak, she just puts a single paw on her shoulder.
I'm not leaving you.
I need to update these things more often*I tilt my head back towards Voxno and smirk smugly.*
"Y'think I don't know that? Look, man, this guy ain't gonna be a challenge. In case you haven't noticed, I am a Fairy and he is especially susceptible to my ethereal mojo."
*I hold out my hand and throw out a gentle Fairy Wind to get the point across.*
"Things are probably gonna come to blows anyway, so I think we should be golden. Speaking of which..."
*I turn back to Lars and begin concentrating, the pink shine of a growing Dazzling Gleam appearing on my hands.*
"There we are."
Are you ready? Go live!

("Shoot, not him again!" I think to myself.)
