ITT: We Have All Become Pokémon

Geez, I'm sorry. I didn't realize everyone was opposed to this, Christ.

Andy sighs.

Uh, Pterodactyl friend, this battle might have been lost. I suggest leaving for now.

Andy started back out, hoping the Aerodactyl would follow him.

"Certainly, sir."

I follow.

Taco, you have to vouch for me in court. :P

"I too am a bit curious about this meeting", said Noriaki, suddenly making his presence known right beside Koss and Marlon.

I guided Tropes into this, unaware I was under flak. Blame Tropes for nothing.

Andy sped back up the tunnel, knowingly leaving Lilly behind. When he reached the surface, he walked over to a corner and vomited. He turned to the Aerodactyl, and out of breath, asks, What's your name, Wings?

Sped through what? You realize how sudden that is to say that he just "escaped" right?

's far's I can tell, the police have got clues ta where they mighta taken our friends. Who knows, we might even get somethin' of a force ta work wit' us ta free 'em. I jus' hope we haven't lost anyone else in the meantime.

Koss keeps pace with the others, nearing the meeting hall.

The tunnels, predictably, have little signs of life in them. At some points the commotion of the city above is barely audible, if one makes a concerted effort, but the rock remains too thick to call out and expect a response. Not to mention, unless Andy is producing light it's all pitch-black.

"My name is Anthony."

To everyone trying to contact me on discord, I DONT HAVE ACCESS INTO DISCORD RIGHT NOW. I had no idea people were disliking what I was doing until five minutes ago.

Andy nodded. So are you new to this world? As in, you know, not from 'round these parts?

(We approach the city hall.)

Hey, that's a neat looking town hall... (I comment.)

It sure is. (Delilah adds.) I just wish we were coming here under better circumstances.

Is this a bad time to join?

Yeah, I agree. I wish we were coming here under better circumstances.

(I say, staying hand-in-hand with Marsha as we approach.)

"Not really. I don't understand much of what's happened, but I try to maintain a stiff upper lip."

So you just showed up here then? A couple of us did as well. We could always use an extra hand, too, so, if you want a group to tide you over as you come to terms with your new life, they're pretty alright.

Outside Durango's 40 minute span past to present

*noticing that Lilly's been gone far longer than she should have, Tilly comes up to Jani* Hey, Jani...Lilly has been gone for awhile now. *to which she replies* Come to think of it, the tailor isn't far, is it?

It's been over 20 minutes, and yeah — it's about three minutes from here. *which makes Jani a little uneasy. She tries to rationalize* I'm sure she's fine...but yeah, we better check up on her...

*so the two head over to the tailor, and greet the clerk. The clerk recognizes Tilly, and greets her appropriately, while also making note of Milly's uncharacteristic beret. Tilly responds* Have you seen Lilly? She was supposed to pick up her bow... *unfortunately, the clerk did not see her. The clerk asks Tilly if she'd like to claim it for her* Uh, sure... *so Tilly pays, and she receives the white bow*

*as they exit the shop, Jani grabs the bow and sets it on Lilly's forehead. She tries to say* C'mon, it looks good on you! *while the not-very-amused Tilly remarks* Now everyone will think I'm Lilly. But the others haven't seen it...but maybe I can pull one on mother? *she grins...but the moment passes as they realize*

Right...we need to find Lilly...where else could she have...

*and so they search and search, until it gets to be about 8:55am. At this point, they can barely make it to City Hall on time, and they don't have any clues to go by*

...this makes no sense! I thought the kidnappers only wanted electric-type foreigners!! *to which Tilly calmly replies* The most we can do for her is let mother know. *Jani's heart sinks at the mention, as she's still pretty intimidated by the mayor* I know what you're thinking, but maybe after this, you might have a better opinion of her...

*and with that, they high tail it to City Hall*

City Hall

*the Mayor is speaking with the council in their chamber, while the chief of police probably not playing this one is waiting outside Triss' office. The main hallway has several rooms on either side and leads to a large, circular foyer where the Mayor's office is on the right side (at a 45 degree angle from due-east) and the council chambers are on the left side (also at a 45 degree angle) to symbolize their coequal status. Like anywhere else in the core town, the floors are made of dirt but outside either chamber are both chairs and flat surfaces for visitors to lounge on. A receptionist that I'm not playing is near the western entrance, but they serve more as a help desk for those seeking their department of interest*

???

*Lilly is unconscious, and will be for a bit even after her captors figure out what to do with her*

City Hall

(To any person who would appear at the city hall, they would spot my hooded figure just outside the city hall. I walk inside, taking in the subterranean architecture, looking for someone to talk to. Someone with a job for me.)

( I can't help but notice the Decidueyes suddenly slipping into the hall as we walk up to it.)

Did Nori evolve? (I ask.)

But he's right here, Goobert. (Delilah points out.)

(I look and see that Nori is indeed still with us as he has been for a while now. Huh...)

Is something wrong? (Dinah asks.)

(We get to the city hall, my hand still in Marsha's. The chief of police notices our entrance and begins to head in our direction. As we just about pass the receptionist, I notice the figure walk about.)

Hey, Buddy. Are you alright?

Cyk has found her way to Agartha. She's searching for the rest of the team. Finley, Mila, Marlon, Goobert...heck, even Sushi would be a welcome sight. She does feel some familiar psychic vibes, but not enough to pinpoint the locations of anyone she knows.

(While waiting for the figure to respond, I feel a familiar psychic in my thoughts. I try to ping them. Marsha may see my eyes flash pink:)

Cyk? Is that you?

edited 28th Sep '17 3:23:39 PM by Team42Larson

Gettin' somethin', Marly? ( Marsha asks as we wait.)

Cyk manages to find her way to Marlon, right to city hall. She's a bit confused.

"So, where is everyone else?

She looks at Marsha

"Hey, where are your buddies? Your brother and Delilah?"

I think Cyk may have found her way here as well, Marsh.

(I say. When Cyk then comes to us, I say:)

Its kind of hard to explain, Cyk-

(A voice then calls out to us:)

You folks here for the meeting?

Cyk looks toward the voice

"Umm...What meeting?"

"Thank you very much for the offer. I'll consider it."

Ignore this if it's just going to cause further headaches, but would it be possible for me to drop out soon and rejoin at a better time? Sorry about this whole thing.

*entering City Hall first, Jani notices the others with a sigh of relief. The first thing she can blurt out is* Lilly's gone missing!! Have any of you seen her?

*Tilly is not far behind, wearing Lilly's white bow. Of course since no one present ever saw Lilly with said bow on, that wouldn't cause any confusion*

@Tropes: I vote for one of our psychic types to sneeze and teleport you to city hall, personally.

"So, what the hell happened? I get the feeling I'm not getting the whole story."

Cyk looks at the Digletts, quite angrily. She then takes a deep breath.

"Sorry, I just got pissed. I've been lost and confused this whole time."
