(Marsha is in mine and her room at the inn, snoring quite loudly as she sleeps.)
(Benji, meanwhile, is in his own room, sitting there wondering how Mookie and the others are doing as they watch the Shifter...and also thinking about the boss of the Board in Hoard. He tried to see if Cortez(?) was available when he got back to the inn, but he was informed by the Dragonair up front that Cortez(?) was in a very important meeting and couldn't be disturbed. Benji is now waiting until later to talk to him(?).)
"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."(Benji hears the knocking on his door. Hearing how tiny and low to the ground it was, he realizes that it must be Andy. Remembering how Andy was hitting on Marsha earlier, Benji decides to have a little fun with Andy and turns into his sister before answering the door.)
Huh? Oh, it's you, buggy. What do you want? (Marsha(?) asks, looking down.)

They do seem pretty in love, at least from what PJ told me yesterday. Hopefully the biological reality is different, for PJ's sake... *Jani remarks, but decides to change the subject* So...have any plans for after the tournament? There's a great big world out there and hardly anything left for me to do here. I got a distributor set up...a Goodra much like Goobert. He's a bit quirky, but he can be down to earth if needed.
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.Well, don't mind if I do, buggy. Gimme a sec. (Marsha(?) looks away and coughs, eliminating that slightly masculine sounding tone Benji usually speaks with.) There! That's better! Now, what brings ya to me again today? (Marsha(?) asks, her tone now sounding a bit closer to Marsha's usual tone of speaking.)
The gang and I will probably stick around with you guys for a while. (I say.) I heard some of the guys talking about going to a place called Wild Ridge that has a lot of camping grounds after we leave here. That sounds fun.

"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."Oh yeah? (Marsha(?) says. Benji internally chuckles to himself, Andy's still on this? Regardless, he continues to play along.) Hm, ya know...I know what I said earlier, but I dunno, it probably wouldn't hurt to get to know ya better anyway, as long as ya don't propose ten minutes into our talk, of course. Where are ya thinkin' of goin' for lunch, buggy?

*Jani's face lights up at the sound of Wild Ridge* Camping sounds like so much fun...I used to do it myself, a long time ago... *and yet another human memory gets triggered* ...though come to think of it, not much of what I knew from then really applies here, huh? No point in hanging your food off a branch when the bears are sentient and can just snap the line. Or more realistically, might be camping themselves...
Not to mention, who needs tents when it's more comfortable to sleep in a burrow?

Well, yanno... those pencil-pushers you met on the way in here? Them! He wants them to be soldiers! There's no other security besides Khmalidze's people? Exactly! It's a dumb, dumb, dumb idea! And he wants to... to close the city, kick out all the... he's gone nuts! And Ripley, I... I've known her long enough to know she never loses her cool, but... this time, she was all like..."
Suddenly, Fan morphed into a Noivern, an exact copy of Ripley, and clasped her wings in front of her, looking uncharacteristically pleading for Merqury's seemingly-unflappable assistant. "Council, I beg of you. Merqury... has our best interests at heart... and we must do our utmost to follow him... does that seem stupid of her to say? Yes! B-but... she didn't have a choice, I could tell... she needed to keep him sane..."
Those sell-by-dates won't stop me because I can't read!

*Jani nods to Marlon* It's all I've been doing for the last several days. It's way more comfy than sleeping above ground. The high CO2 count doesn't seem to be an issue, guess I'm well adapted for that, and the underground is naturally warmer when it's closed off...works not unlike an igloo... *Jani then catches herself* ...agh, sorry, geek-out moment there...
*she then turns to Wohm* Oh, you must be the "Wohm" everyone's talked about! Jani here...nice to meet you.
*Voxno-V admits to Fan* I must apologize, I was not briefed on the current situation of Hoard, and my information was many years out of date. My official mission was to tail the others, given their proximity to the Viral Aggression. As you have surely noticed, I have gone somewhat off-mission myself.
*commenting on the rest of Fan's spiel, Voxno remarks* Ejecting a town full of powerful, surly fighters...not to mention a number of promising up-and-comers, would not be wise. If Merqury has a shred of sanity remaining, this could well be an empty threat, at least for the duration of the tournament.
Not to mention, if the Pawniarmy were ejected prematurely — particularly if any lingering contractual obligations were not honored, I do not imagine them leaving peacefully.

*Jani shrugs* Who knows...you know how lovebirds are, probably painting the town red... *then it dawns on her* Oh Groudon...I just remembered something from biology...the uh...stinger it's been awhile of the male is torn off when he uh...and don't males need that to live?
*Jani shudders at the thought* Maybe it's different with his subspecies of bee...not much better than the anglerfish, otherwise...
