"I... don't have a single clue." She spins her fork, getting a big bunch of spaghetti before eating.
"Yeah, I have nothing."
Long live the New Bev.
Purrloin Jani by shrubBird
*Jani sighs, albeit facetiously* It's from Sliders...you know John Rhys-Davies, right? Shakespearean actor in a lot of B-works? He's actually been on a lot of Sy Fy works...even a Sharknado cameo or two. *while Jani's losing herself in all this, she tries to think about exactly what she's talking about...but it doesn't come to mind*
*sighing for real this time, Jani says* Not quite there yet, I guess... *but it seems she's not getting headaches from all this anymore*

Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus."Huh, some of the names are familiar, but I must not have seen it. I was never much for television..."
Mila thinks for a moment on Jani's last comment. It seems a bit odd to her, that she'd know the specifics, but not remember the rest. But whatever it was, they would help how they could. It made her feel better, at least, to know she'd done some good.
"Don't worry about it, Jani. It'll come in time."
I need to update these things more often"Just give it a bit, okay? Tonight's a night to relax. Heck, celebrate even! We already broke one layer to fixing you away, right? Just gotta keep at it!" Finley cheers.
Long live the New Bev.

*Jani nods to Mila, then smiles at Finley as she remarks* Yeah! *and downs a bit of water in "celebration", almost as if it were after a toast. She takes the notion of needing to be fixed pretty well...but she wonders about the village she unknowingly fabricated. Is it really there? Is her imaginary Diglett mom still waiting for her? Can't be though...so conflicted, but still no headaches...the truth will come in time*
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus."Yes, to celebrate. Thanks, Finley."
Mila smiles, and thinks back to the initial reason she stated to go here. It had been worth it; not initially what she'd thought of, but nice nonetheless. She idly puts a paw on top of Finley's as she looks at the others at the table. It felt good, even if they all had their own wounds. They'd heal, in time.

I need to update these things more oftenAs Jack goes back to the stands a Shiny Lilligant bumps into him as he took a seat
Shiny Lilligant: Oops, sorry sir! Trying to get the best seat to watch the doubles fighters from my town of Wild Ridge!
Jack: Wild Ridge? I actually defeated one of the Three Defenders of Wild Ridge in the first round of the singles!
Shiny Lilligant: Wow, really? Then I'm impressed! Allow me to introduce myself then. I'm Emily, and I'm the tour guide for the island that my home town of Wild Ridge is on.
Jack: Nice to meet you, Emily. My name's Jack. I'm planning on going to Wild Ridge myself once the tournament is over with a few of my friends.
Emily: Really? Sweet! Then you'll definitely need my help to travel to Wild Ridge, the entire island is difficult to navigate due to the terrain and wildlife, not to mention that the island is infamous for its occasional violent storms. It got the name Wildland Island for a reason you know!
Jack: Huh, interesting. So, what types of terrain does this island have?
Emily: Off the top of my head, Wildland Island has a mountain range, a forest, a forest that's always covered in steam and fog due to volcanic activity, and a large purple lake that gets its color from the stones on the bottom of the lake.
Jack: Huh, I'll tell my partner-in-planning about this as soon as I can find him. Thanks for the info, Emily!
Emily: You're welcome Jack!
The two continue to watch the fights

The League of Heroes"I'm glad to see you both ha-" Finley feels a paw touching hers and looks down.
It's Mila. Finley suddenly begins stuttering, blushing immensely. "H-Hey, touchy, Mila?" She doesn't mind this, of course. As shown by her not moving her hand at all.
"Ahem... anyway, Mi-er, Jani. It's good that you... you... ya know..."

Long live the New Bev.Jack sees Andy and goes to him
Jack: Hey Andy, a tour guide from Wild Ridge is nearby in the stands!

Purrloin Jani by shrubBird
*Jani grins and nods to Finley, stating* I meant what I said earlier...I guess the way I see it, if you can find companionship and a purpose, you can be happy anywhere. And as anything... *gushing at the happy couple, she continues* I'm actually really happy for you two! And a little jealous...

Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.Jack gestures at the Shiny Lilligant nearby
Jack: She's right over there and willing to help.
The League of HeroesPJ: "Oh! Oh dear, I didn't make it seem... She's around my age, only been out on her own for two or three weeks, I should've mentioned that before. Her tutoring isn't really anything professional either, I'm sorry to make you worry. Should've thought before I spoke. Coulda worded that differently, huh?"
*I scratch the back of my head awkwardly. Something makes me think I've ruined the conversation in a way.*

Are you ready? Go live!Mila is a bit surprised by Finley's reaction, but she leaves her paw there when Finley doesn't pull away. Instead, she looks over to Jani with a grin still on her face.
"Thanks, Jani. She's definitely helped keep me going on several occasions. I'm sure you'll find someone as well, but until then you've got the rest of us as friends, right?"

Purrloin Jani by shrubBird
*Jani nods to Mila* Yep! *she's a bit chipper now, to the point of forgetting all her problems. Whatever might happen in the coming days, at least for now, at this informal girls' night out...she has some sense of normalcy in her life...*
Sleepy time.
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus."Yea, maybe." [Don't think this takes Bella out of the firefight; thinking about his description of the kiss just gets to me in all the wrong ways. I chuckle, but there's a bitter tinge to it that I probably should've masked, but oh fucking well.]
"Still, only three weeks and she was that good? What, was she some sort of professional fighter back in her hometown or something?" [I'm just trying to egg him on some more. After losing that last lead, I'll need something good to try and latch onto.]
"Sorry. Guess I'm a bit dramatic tonight." Finley looks to Jani. "It's good to see you happy, is what I tried to say."
Then back to Mila... "Hey, ya know... this still kind of is like a date! Just +1 is all." Then back to Jani. "Not that you're a third wheel or anything..."
Long live the New Bev.*Something about her laugh rubs me the wrong way, but I try to brush this off. Still though, there's a lot about this whole thing that's starting to feel off...*
PJ: "Well, I wouldn't be surprised. The girl's a natural, lemme tell ya! She doesn't really like talking about her hometown, though, kind of a touchy subject for her. I don't like to pry either, so I don't know anything beyond what she's comfortable telling me."
Are you ready? Go live!"That it is. Whatever you want to call it, I'm glad both of you are here. It's been fun, really."
Mila looks back to her food, and begins to finish it off. They should probably be getting back soon, and regrouping. Plus, she does need to get that slash on her back looked at eventually. She wouldn't want it to get infected, after all.
I need to update these things more often*I sigh and clutch my arm. Here we go...*
PJ: "She's from... actually, wait. Do you mind if I ask a question first? What's got you so interested in us? In her, rather? I mean, I know she's pretty special and all, but you don't know neither her name nor mine. Hell, I don't think I know yours either. Maybe we should get that out of the way sooner rather than later?"
Are you ready? Go live!"Right, right, where's my manners? The name's Rossetti."
[Shit, I really hope I haven't painted myself into a corner with this. I don't know if he's catching on, but he's starting to get suspicious. Oh, fuck, what if he finds out that it's, well, me he's talking to, then what? I don't think he'll want to press on Bella much more, and I feel like I've just been running in circles with this conversation.]
"I agree. It feels like the worst day of my life immediately turned into a perfect one. But maybe that's just me being melodramatic." Finley looks at her plate, suddenly realizing she's been wolfing down her spaghetti and is almost done.
"... Whoops."
Long live the New Bev.

"Huh... I've got nothing. I can think of other Maximilians, but none that fit that name exactly. You have an idea, Finley? Because she's got me stumped!"
Mila takes another bite of her food in between her sentences. She can't help but enjoy the lighter conversation. For once, it feels like they're just taking the time to enjoy the scenery and live instead of always working towards a goal. It feels nice.
