Alright. You can come with me, miss Jani, and anyone else who may have left things in Doug's place. Hudson?

Yeah?

Go fetch Johnson, and tell him that we need two reset orbs to start out with, for the swap orb victims. Also, if you can, find the mayor, and deliver the news.

(He leaves to find Johnson, who is is presently stationed at the Warp Plaza.)

Aye, aye!

*as Jani heads with Don over to Doug's, she wonders to herself how she'll get the cart out of there in the first place*


*meanwhile, the mayor and the Diglett sisters are currently scouting (and window shopping) not far from the warp plaza — figuring that "Milly" won't show up at their house or anything*

Sounds like we're gonna be first, June. (I say to June.)

Okay! (June says.) Hey, can I try somethin' real quick before we go back to normal?

What? (I ask.)

June, wait-

(Before we can stop her, she suddenly lets out a mighty Flamethrower straight up into the air.)

Sorry, just had to try that... (June giggles as she looks down, smoke coming from the corners of her mouth.)

June, wait until he says yes or no next time, okay? (Darnell says.)

Yes, Grandpa. (says June.)

"Gyah!"

Still close to June, July quickly hits the deck to avoid being hit by the Flamethrower.

"I thought we were done with the circus for now!"


"Hmm..." Finley looks around. She won't lie, she was kind of curious about what was going on with Doug's place.

"Hey, Mila, wanna head over there?"

Johnson?

Yes?

Go fetch two reset orbs for the Goodra and Zoroark, and then help them through the process. Got it?

Ooh yeah, can do!

(Johnson scuttles off, collects two reset orbs from where the Explouds presently have stored them, and heads down to where our group presently is.)

Ah, good. Are you all ready to begin to switch back?

(Don asks.)


(At the Warp plaza, Hudson sees the mayor, and her daughters doing some window shopping.)

Miss mayor, miss mayor! Over here! We got the schematics back!

Johnson, care to explain?

Can do! Alrighty, for swap orb victims to swap back with a reset orb, both pokemon have to place their opposite hands on the other orb! Sound simple enough?

(He holds out the reset orbs for both Goobert and June to take.)

Yeah, sounds simple enough. (I say as we both take our Orbs.) Ready, June?

Ready!

(We both touch our Orbs as directed. Suddenly, there's another shock that blows us backwards as before.)

( I sit up and look down at myself. I see my gray and purple (and bandaged) Goodra body below me. June sits up and looks back at me in her own body.)

Oh, that's much better. ( I say, grabbing my antennae.)

Ya know, I'm actually really glad to be me again, too. (June says.) Hey, Grandpa, Jules! Lookit me! I'm June again!

Heh heh, welcome back, June! (Darnell says, picking June up and hugging her.)

(I turn to see Delilah walking up to me. I quickly spring to my feet and give her a hug and kiss.)

"Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshhhhhhh!!" Despite how long it was since the last hug, July grabs her again.

She feels something watery behind her eyes. As they begin to move out, she realizes they're tears.

"I'm so happy you're okay I missed you so much I was so worried we can go home we can forget this happened everything will be okay!!" She word vomits out.

Hey, hey! My buddy's back in his own body! Where's that fistbump?

(I extend my arm to offer up a fistbump.)

(Don quickly explains to us.)

Now, to get the rest of your friends back in line, I'll need more reset orbs. Johnson?

Yeah?

Go fetch our cart in the guest house.

Yes sir!

(Johnson runs off to the guest house. Don stays with us for now.)

Near Warp Plaza

*Mayor Triss is greeted by Hudson while shopping with Tilly and Lilly. Not particularly expecting to be flagged on the street, distracted, and with a somewhat "off the clock" mentality, she states offhandedly* Ah...yes, yes, stupendous! *before looking Hudson directly in the eyes* I trust that there will be no further delays?

*Tilly's been watching this exchange all the while, and after the Exploud answers Triss' question, a light bulb turns on in Tilly's brain and she whispers to her mother* Hey, mom...when Milly was in the library, she and her group were speaking to one of these Exploud. Something about helping them find some missing Whismurs, could be related. *to which Triss replies* Clever girl...if we can get you three together, I'll be sure to nudge you over to the "leader" position...

Now, far be it from me to impose any further, let alone drag you fine folks into our humble affairs... *Mayor Triss asks Hudson* ...I believe that you, or at least your associates, may have made contact with my prodigal daughter as it were. Milly — you remember her from the ribbon planning, I presume? Would you happen to know her whereabouts?


Outside Doug's House

*Jani arrives at Doug's house, apparently losing track of Don* (Huh, must be a busy guy...) *she figures, as she gives the somewhat imposing structure one more look before popping underground, intent to slip inside*

*slowly entering the house, she notices that Doug and Koss are conversing together. Remarkably, her dirt-clone is still intact, and the two are off in a different room. Figuring this is her chance, Jani grabs a small book off the bookshelf and cracks it open, propped up vertically. She creates another Double Team-style dirt clone behind it, creating the passive illusion of a Diglett reading in the living room*

*now there's the problem of the cart itself...her best bet is to shift some dirt to slowly move it into the house's foyer using gravity. Once feeling sufficiently away from the house patriarch, she smacks down the door and re-enters the cart, demolishing the old dirt clone from when she initially slipped out. Easily opening the door before getting inside, she wheels out of there without closing Doug's front door*

*as she starts heading down the street, the dirt covering up the orb in her cart shifts a bit, and the top of the orb is visible — though Jani hasn't noticed*

Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.

No, Miss Mayor, we will not have any more problems here. We're honestly really sorry that any of this had to happen.

(Hudson listens in closely to the conversation amongst family members before starting up again. He's aware that Milly is missing, yes, but the more he looked at this odd Diglett, the less certain he is that she is actually Milly. He decides to concoct a small lie, but is also trying to hide it well behind what he has to say.)

Y-yes, I did help lead an expedition into one of the residential extensions of this city to find those Whismurs, but rest assured Miss Milly was not among those who came with us. Besides, don't you know that all Digletts look alike?

(Don, meanwhile, observes Jani leaving, but still is waiting for Finley and Mila to do something before he enters Doug's home on his own accord.)

Heehee, sis, I wasn't about to die, ya know. (June says, nevertheless hugging her worried sister back.)

(I quickly and happily return the fistbump with my antennae like I usually do once I break away from Delilah.)

Now how about ya go a whole week without swappin' bodies with someone, big guy? (Marsha jokes.)

I can sure try not to, Marsha! (I say, smiling back.)

The three of us should probably head back home. (Darnell says.) It's probably dark above ground by now, and we've had enough excitement for one day, especially July.

Near Warp Plaza

We ALL look alike?!? Are you blind or something?! *Triss, Tilly, and especially Lilly ask, before staring Hudson down hard* Her fine balanced distance between the eyes...that cute little birthmark on her back...eyes, 1.3cm from the nose... *they look at each other before deciding to let Triss do the talking*

That is only the tip of the iceberg regarding what makes Milly, or any other Diglett, unique...sir! Such insensitivity...why I have half a mind to hold y'all to the incurred penalties of your contract down to the last Poké for such a remark!


Outside Doug's House

*Jani, meanwhile, passes by Finley, Mila, and whoever else is with them and remarks* Whew...the old man seems distracted with Koss for now...I'm still not 100% sure if I'll be staying here tonight, to be honest...

...but now that I've had a bit of time to unwind, I wonder if I should...if anything, to get some answers...might park this outside in case I feel I need to make a hasty retreat, though...

You folks have a nice time! I'll be sure to visit that carnival you guys work at some time. I do enjoy a good carnival.

(Don says.)

Say, what should we do for now while we wait for this guy to get the other reset orbs?

(I ask after graciously receiving the fistbump.)


(Hudson sighs, and then tries to Deescalate things.)

Point is, I don't know where Milly is, alright? If I see her, I'll let you know. I've gotta get to work now, if you don't mind.

(Hudson begins hauling some wood boards out of a backpack that he carried with him to Agartha, laying them down in a square around the intended point for where one would land when they warp.)

July looks happy for once. She finally did something.

"Yeah. Let's go home."

Was there a Diglett present with those who helped y'all find your lost kin?


Um... *Jani steers her cart at a low speed around Finley (and Mila?) a couple times, before hitting the brakes and silently grinning at Finley*

*Triss doesn't particularly have a reason to expect Hudson lie like that, so she relents* I see. Well, I suppose I should let you get back to work now. *and leaves. Lilly more or less follows the lead of her mother, but Tilly is not so convinced, so she tells her quietly* Hey mom? I just remembered one of the shops we passed had something I liked. I'll meet up with you soon, okay? *to which her mother nods, stating* Don't stay out too late...

*the two groups leave the area, but it's not long before Tilly ducks a corner and starts to silently tail Hudson* (I know I saw them together. Why would he lie? This is getting curiouser and curiouser...)

That's probably what...

"Okay. Now I feel dumb..."

Suddenly, she feels her eyes drawn to a small glint in the cart, but tries to stay quiet about it.
