(As if by pure psychic instincts, my eyes flash pink as I lock onto the area fairly far ahead of us. After looking about for some time, I motion to the others:)

I feel...a large amount of beings ahead.

(Benji turns into a clone of Marlon and does the same thing as him.)

Hey, I'm feelin' the same thing! (he says.)

That's good, right? (Marsha asks.)

*Jani looks to Benji, impressed* I swear, sometimes I forget you can do that. That'll help a bit, but we'll definitely need to get Marsha, Dinah, and Grigori sponsored...

*more time passes as they get very close. Tilly eventually stops on her own...the tracks leading in and out are hard to miss, as if no one has been around recently to sweep them up. She then says*

This is not far from where Milly typically vanishes. *to which she then turns to Jani. Jani herself states* I know it seems ludicrous that a large town is right here, but well...I'm sure Marlon and Marlon are feeling something by now. You two can follow me...not sure what it'll feel like when Psychics enter the barrier, but everyone else should probably hang back until we get you all set up, okay?

*and with that, Jani moves about 25 feet in, crossing the barrier and seeming to disappear*

(I feel a good deal of energy from just ahead. I think it's honestly a whole lot of psychic vibes from the townsfolk...)

Man, Marlon, do you feel anything? Because I sure do!

(I jokingly say to Benji, before preparing to move inside.)

Noriaki suddenly appearing in the guest room finally throws in his two cents, "If I may, I was already recently considering putting money towards hiring some mercenaries to act as bodyguards as sorts, given how dangerous things seem to get for us wherever we go. We could potentially assign the theoretical hired Pokemon to guard young David, or we ourselves could keep more of an eye on him with the extra hands compensating for our diverted attention wherever else needed."

Heh, sure do, Marlon! (Benji chuckles.) Sounds like there's a lot going of chattin' and stuff goin' on just up ahead.

Be careful, bro! (Marsha calls after them as they prepare to walk ahead.)

I decide to come back to reality and find where everyone went. I sneakily poke my head into the guest room, seeing the small Pichu again. (He won't even recognize me…) Trying my best not to draw any attention towards me, I carefully return to my previous postition in the house.

If I don't clash, I don't change. The world ends at my borders, and the best moments slip away.

*as Marlon and Marlon!Benji cross the barrier, the comparatively weak feelings they were getting just go Up To Eleven — while still unable to really see much, they can detect the precise location of others and see ghost images of what they see. It's surely disorienting to say the least, but it should allow them to at least avoid running head first into walls or other large objects. Some of the locals are stopping and staring at them, though it's unlikely they could determine the latter by sight. They are likely to be aware, however, that their presence is known and met with suspicion*

Everything okay? Can you get around alright? *Jani asks the two Marlons*

Huh... *Jani can't even imagine what the two Marlons are seeing* ...everything looks normal to me, I guess we should get you two sponsored as well, ASAP...

*she then looks around, not really recognizing the residents who stopped and stared. Though by now, they probably deemed the arrivals as not much of a threat, as they've already gone back to their business*

So...I guess our options are Frau, though I really want this to be more of a low-key visit...Koss, though I don't have a clue where he is...and Teller, who should be easy to find. *Jani says* I suppose we could go to Teller's bar, and hope Koss stumbles across us along the way...it's this way.

*Jani starts heading in that direction*

#22787: Oct 7th 2017 at 4:11:13 PM

On hearing the words "leave David," he begins bawling and holds on to Mila as best he can. She likewise holds on to him, feeling overwhelmed by the situation.

NO! I DON'T WANNA GO! I WANNA STAY! I WANNA STAY WITH HER! I DON'T LIKE THIS PLACE! I DON'T WANNA LEAVE HER! I DOn't, I dont, I don't.... I don't wanna go...

Eventually, he devolves into tears and Mila just stares at Eliot with an icy glare.

"If I have to stay behind in Orichalcum to keep him safe, I will. I'm not leaving him until they're found. Not even a moment before."

"Nori," [I object, sighing,] "I don wanna leave'm wiffa couple'a hires goons, we need t'—" [David's crying scares the fool out of me, and realizing what I had done, I back away a little, lowering my hand with the note and form. Mila's stare does little to help...I can't bring myself to make eye contact.]

"I juss...I dunno if 'e..."

[I don't really say anything, just kinda breathe. I...I don't even know where to start with this. She's thinking of staying, with this kid...wouldn't he just be a burden for us? His parents, if they're not here, they could be anywhere in the island.]

[I huff and finally, definitely answer,] "Then stay."

*Jani smirks* That might not work in a town of mind-readers...oh, and speaking of that... *she mentions as they're right by Teller's bar* ...I should probably see if my little trick works against the seasoned pro. The barkeep's alright, but he's an information broker...aka don't trust him with anything sensitive.

*Jani puts in the effort to think in Japanese again, then enters the bar...though not without being a little Diglett doorstop for the other two, just in case*

"I didn't mean to leave him completely under their care, just vamping up our security. I was leaning more towards the latter of using the theoretical recruits to give us more space to watch over him ourselves, anyway", Noriaki explained, "Either way, I think that we should bring him with us. He seems to be rather attached to Mila, and the anxiety separating them would give him seems just as bad as any he may get from whatever we may face. And there is also the fact that we may just find his parents."

*as Jani approaches the bar, a familiar Alakazam named Teller greets her warmly at first* Well well, never thought I'd be seein' you again! What'll it be...hmm? *it takes Teller a moment to realize that Jani's obfuscating her thoughts, given the sudden foreign language he picks up on her "stream". His expression turns to one of ambivalence* I see ya learned quite the trick there. *before whispering to Jani* Ya do realize, I'll have to charge this time if I can't get a peek.

*Jani shrugs as Teller lifts her and some modesty dirt onto the bar stool* Fair enough. I'm still a bit sore about what happened last time, you know... *to which she looks at the picture menu before ordering* I guess you have no cranberry equivalent here, huh? Hmm...how about: Bluk Sitrus Vodka?

Comin' right up...oh, and about last time — business is business. *Teller admits as he gets Jani's drink ready* Besides, Vox wanted to get a chance to see you all fight, and well...they'd have made sure it didn't go too far. *he then sets the drink by Jani*

*Jani's irritated expression doesn't waver as she pays Teller, and Teller notices the two disoriented Gallades have been talking to Jani as well* How about this? I'll make it up to ya by sponsoring your friends there. Give me one moment here...

*Teller glows pink for a moment, as do a number of bar patrons shortly after, and Marlon and Benji are now able to see the bar as it really is, though not without a somewhat flashy transition. Same would go if they explored the town*
