Finley suddenly shoots... what appears to be a glare at Nori after he says this. Not entirely true. Just a... very suspicious smile.
Other than that, she's wordless.
I'm Huney B now. Okay?
Purrloin Jani by shrubBird
*after the brief blinding sensation, Lilly is awestruck at what she sees* This is amazin'!! *she can't help but utter as she takes in the whole 180 degree panorama of the mystic Psychics' home town. It's not long before she snaps back to the here and now to respond to Uryu*
You can count on me, sir! *Lilly states, though opting not to mention that she was slated for sponsorship anyway, she adds* I won't tell a soul!
*Lilly then turns to Goobert and says* Guess I'll follow you for now — you know the town pretty well, don'tcha?
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.(Delilah lets out a peep of surprise upon seeing the flash. When it clears up, she can clearly see the town. She looks in around in surprise.)
Oh, Goobert...this town looks amazing! (she says.)
Yeah...ready to head in, guys? (I ask her.) We'll head in and find the others. I strongly suspect they're at the Frau's place, which is that large building just over there.
Sure, Goobert. (Delilah says, still marveling at the suddenly appearing town.)
(The two of us pass through the barrier (with Lilly and Grigori presumably following us) and begin heading toward the mansion.)
If I'm honest with myself, I don't know every inch of this town. (I say to Lilly as we do so.) But hey, I remember where some places are, like the mansion, the bar...that's, uh, pretty much it... (I shrug sheepishly.)
"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."
Purrloin Jani by shrubBird
*Lilly does indeed follow. She says to Goobert* Still more than I know. Maybe more'll come back to ya...y'all had a rough last couple of weeks, right?
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.Oh, you'd better believe it... (I tell Lilly.) I mean, just waking up here as a Goodra was crazy enough. Now we're running all over the place dealing with everything from the VA to political messes to psycho-exes, and Delilah and I have gotten badly hurt. (I motion to my faint scar and Delilah's bandaged hip.) At least some good has come out of this whole thing, like making new friends, travelling to new places, and...well, just being a Pokémon in general. It's really cool despite the trouble we keep getting into. Probably the best part is the fact that Marlon and I have found love here... (I glance over to Delilah.)
Oh, Goobert. (Delilah chuckles, leaning over and kissing me. I make another goofy expression and drawl out a small lovesick-sounding growl.)
"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."Morbitesse: "Indeed, I can do naught but imagine the weight you must be carrying. Including the weight of this package, of course."
*Frau Morbitesse chuckles lightly following this comment as she takes the package. She reads over the note, a puzzled expression forming on her face.*
Morbitesse: "Diglett whose form you... Hold on, Beatrice's... Do forgive me for this, Jani."
*Morbitesse's eyes glow again as she stares at Jani.*
Morbitesse: "Well, so I see. Quite peculiar, the predicament you're in..."
*The unearthly light in Morbitesse's eyes fades, and she places the box and note down on a nearby end table.*
Morbitesse: "Well, with those answers come further questions. A complex situation this is, though it wouldn't be appropriate to wrack my brain over it now. No doubt there is much else to discuss. Unless you weren't planning to stay? I'll leave that to you all."
*I shrug.*
PJ: "I'm open for anything, how about the rest of you guys?"
Are you ready? Go live!(I take some time to listen in on the others conversing with the Frau, before I say something of my own terms:)
Heya Frau, the name's Marlon. You might not have ever met me, but my start in this world came 10 days ago, when I met the others here.
(I briefly shift eyes to find Goobert, and find that he's on his way here, which I motion him over to the best of my ability. Back the others, though:)
I'm up for sleeping here for the night.
(I briefly look to Marsha, before darting my eyes forward.)

Oh, that's so cuuuute! *Lilly fawns over Goolilah, then blurts out the question* If ya ever find the way back to the human world, d'ya think you'll stay here?
*turning to PJ, Jani says* I'd be up for staying...we didn't really explore the town much, did we. Well, I didn't...can't speak for the earlier arrivals.
*Jani turns to Morbitesse with a resolute expression on her face, and says* To be honest, I've had several days to mull over it. Mull, and drink myself senseless...but in any case, it is what it is.
My greatest concern at this point is how my arrival messed with what was partially a diplomatic mission. I guess it wasn't a major one, being entrusted to an apprentice...and that Dugspringa thing isn't going to happen obviously, but I hope my displacement didn't hurt the Agarthans' standing with you or Orichalcum all that much.
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.(I shrug and answer Lilly's question.) You know...I think I probably will stay here. I mean, I feel like I've accomplished more things in two weeks here than I did in two months back home. I got a job in Silversand, made some new friends, I got a girlfriend, helped with a lot of things with you and the others, I like being a Goodra...I think I'm perfectly content with staying here forever whether we find a way back or not...I just hope I can let my family back in my old world know about what's happened to me, where I am, and what I'm doing... (I look somewhat wistful as I say this last thing.)
(As we approach the mansion, I see Marlon spot us from within and motion us over.)
There they are, guys! (Delilah says.)
Yeah, let's get inside! (I say. Delilah and I quickly run in. We can see that the others are already talking to Morbitesse. Marsha spots us coming in and gives a small wave at us.)
Hello again, ma'am. (I say to Morbitesse as we walk up to join the others.) It's great to see you again!
Hello! (Delilah greets the others, particularly the Frau.) What are you all talking about right now? (Delilah asks.)
(Benji continues to tremble as he tries to avoid transforming, but it doesn't seem to be amounting to anything as four black disc-shaped objects are beginning to grow from either side of his head.)
Benji! (Dinah whispers in his direction, him trying to prevent himself from transforming interrupting her thoughts on the prospect of staying here.)

"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."*Morbitesse gives Marlon a nod and a warm smile.*
Morbitesse: "A pleasure to meet you, Marlon."
*Morbitesse turns her attention back over to Jani.*
Morbitesse: "Truth be told, it was somewhat concerning that I had heard so little from Agartha in the past few weeks, but it's nothing that would sour our relations so drastically, especially now that the root of this has been found. I won't fault you for-"
*Morbitesse's train of thought is derailed as she catches sight of Benji gradually shifting form. She cocks an eyebrow before addressing him.*
Morbitesse: "Sir, are you quite well?"
PJ: "Oh, that's... one of the group members I don't know, actually."
(Shit, now that I think about it, Eliot's the only one here I know all that well, huh? I gotta work on changing that.)
(...But then again, if they see me as a burden, then what's the point?)
Are you ready? Go live!(Benji manages to suck the frills back in.) Please excuse me, miss, I have been having some troubles with my Psychic abilities lately, just saying... (Benji states in Marlon's voice.)
(Dinah is visibly uncertain that a Psychic-type like the Frau will buy this, considering Teller yesterday. Marsha simply shakes her head.)
What actually is going on right now? (Delilah asks again.)
"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."(Unsure of how much more covering I can do for Benji, I just try to play it off, and look to Delilah:)
We're talking about Jani's situation and everything else that's happened.
(I figure to still try and cover for him though, saying to Frau:)
Yeah, he indeed has been having some trouble with that recently.

That takes a load off my mind. Thank you, High Oracle. *Jani states respectfully, then adds, looking more toward the party* That said, we've...been through a lot to say the least. I'm sure others here would like to take the floor.
*and with that, Jani heads over back by Tilly and the others*
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.Oh, okay. (Delilah says to Marlon, nodding.)
' Yes I have!' (says the other "Marlon".) ' It's a strange quirk with my Psychic abilities that I've had flare up since I was a Ralts, in fact.' (As Benji says this, a silver bow-like object appears on the back of his head, which he quickly makes disappear.)
Poor Benji, (I say aside to Delilah, Marlon, and Marsha.) This must be torture to him...
I know... (Delilah says.)
Yeah, I dunno how long he can't stay like that. (Marsha says.)
"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."[I look over at Benji with a raised brow. I don't know what he's cooking up in that head of his, but I'm not sure staying like Marlon's gonna be the best for him, especially considering his particular transformative tendencies...I saw that bow...]
[Looking back to the Frau, I decide it's high time to engage in some conversation with her. Not for any particular reason, just to...]
[...oh, shit...right, I forgot about the money I lost in Silversand. I just hope she won't bring it up, that would be excellent.]
"Uh...hey, Frau!" [I grip the strap on my satchel, inhaling through my teeth. She doesn't mind just being called Frau, right?]
Morbitesse: "A quirk that makes it difficult to hide the fact that you're a Ditto?"
*Morbitesse gives Benji a knowing smirk as I look Benji over, trying to process this.*
PJ: "Wait, we've had a Ditto with us the whole time? Dang, I really know nothing about our group, huh? ...If you don't mind me asking, Morby, how'd you know?"
Morbitesse: "Same way I was able to recognize you in your current state. It's not that easy to keep secrets from a psychic like me, though you have my word that I'll not pry without permission."
PJ: "Right, right..."
*Morbitesse waves at Eliot before continuing.*
Morbitesse: "Now then, would you all like to move this further inside? As cozy as I try to make this front hall seem, I feel that there are more appropriate rooms to hold a discussion in."

Are you ready? Go live!Uryu follows behind the others quietly. Once they enter town, however, he slips off to somewhere else. Probably his house, wherever that happens to be.
Mila is quiet, not knowing what to say or even being fully sure on what they're doing back here. David, however, has gone quiet and is looking around the manor to take in the scale of the place. Mila notices the silence and considers asking him about it, but when she tracks his gaze she decides better of it. Instead, she walks over to Finley, and taps her on the shoulder.
"Do you remember the first night we stayed here, Finley? I just wanted to say... thank you for that. You were strong, stonger than me. You still are."
I need to update these things more often(Benji suddenly rapidly cycles through the forms of several of the others nearby before stopping on the Frau herself.)
Whew...I guess there wasn't any—oop-! AHEM! I guess there wasn't any point in tryin' to hide it, huh? (Benji says, catching himself speaking in Morbitesse's voice at first.) I guess I shoulda told just gone ahead and told ya instead of looking and sounding ridiculous in front of ya, just sayin'.
(Marsha shakes her head.) Please excuse him, yer Frau-liness. He does this all the time. Always tries ta turn inta every new person he meets even when he tries not to.
Moving further in sounds okay to me. (I say, turning to the others.)
(Dinah slowly and nervously walks up to Morbitesse before we start moving.) H-Have you looked in my head since I came in here? (She asks nervously.)

"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."(I sigh with some form of relief as Benji finally is able to not have to strain himself so hard. I turn to the Frau:)
Yeah, sorry fer not making it any clearer sooner for yas. And yeah, I'd like to continue on in for some more discussion amongst ourselves.
(I aside to Marsha all the while:)
Marsh, sorry fer makin' 'im strain himself..
(I look forward and prepare to advance on.)

Sounds good to me. Haven't really, truly relaxed in days... *Jani says, before starting into the house. She turns around to see Tilly's with her, but Lilly's a bit of a statue...simply taking in the splendor of the foyer in an almost childlike fashion* Coming, Lilly?
*snapping out of her daze, Lilly says* Coming! *and the three Digletts follow the party*
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.

Noriaki bows and eloquently speaks, "A pleasure to see you again, Frau Morbitesse. It is true, many events transpired since we last met. Many new faces, many encounters, many left us stronger, although some left a few us having to put ourselves back to together."
