Um, no, I don't mind, PJ-, I mean, Jani...except I'm actually Delilah and Goobert's me. (Delilah-as-me says, motioning to me-as-Delilah.)
Heya, Jani. (I say to Jani-as-PJ. I fist-bump Marlon back...this time with Delilah's normal fist.) Feels weird and crazy, doesn't it?
(Lucy notices Eliot's unease.) Are you okay?
Sure do, Speedy! Let's you and your folks step into my store, okay?
(Belle turns to her sister.) I will wait out here for Manaphy. I will catch up.
Okay, sis!
(Aretha leads Speedy into her store. Bryce motions for Mauveine to follow him and goes inside as well.)

"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."The Azumarill notes the Manaphy's presence before nodding at Marlon's remark and fanning out the envelopes before him, making sure each species is visible on the end.
Yes, of course. While he's currently indisposed, I would like to offer you compensation on behalf of the guild as a whole. I understand that you may not be in your... normal states, so please feel free to take the appropriate envelope and sort it out among yourselves. The payment is slightly lower than we would like, but due to some... setbacks in the Silversands projects we have encountered some monetary trouble as of late.
Mila quickly picks up her envelope, and opens it to find 15000 poke inside, which she stores with the rest of her money.
I need to update these things more often
Purrloin Jani by shrubBird
"She can stare all she wants"
*Helioptile!Jani quips back to Marlon while resting comfortably atop Goodra!Delilah's head. Seems she somewhat wore herself out from all the running. She then notices the Azumarill, and states*
"Uh, give the one marked for Jani to the other Diglett glowering over there..." — *pointing to Tilly, she realizes what a foolish thing that was to say (given her attitude right now and Triss' actions) she backtracks* "Actually, shoot...don't give her anything. Um...err, shoot PJ probably doesn't know how to work my storage uh..."
"Give Jani's to Finley, uh, and like...the one marked for a Ribombee goes to uh...how about give both the Diglett's and Ribombee's to Finley."

Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.(I reach forward and grab four envelopes; one for myself, Goobert, Delilah, and Marsha. I fan them out amongst ourselves and open to yes, find 15000 poké.)
Wow, thanks! Hehe, Marsh, we're even richer now..
(I say to the Azumarill, and then asiding to Marsha. I note Jani's unusual reaction.)

June 27thPlease give m-...Goobert's to me. (I say, trying to sound like Delilah.) And give me his...
(Delilah shakes her head.) This is just getting entirely too confusing...
Yeah, great deal! (Marsha says.)
I was...uh... (Lucy stammers a bit as she looks at herself.) I was thinking about my...mom...I always wanted to be like her when I grew up... (She looks sad.) I shouldn't have done this. Now I'm sad...I should turn into someone else...
(Before Eliot can say anything else, Lucy steals a quick glance at Dinah and begins trying to morph into her. She gets wider bodied, her snout grows longer, and her fur melts away into scaly brown, pink, and black skin. Lucy successfully turns into Dinah, but by the time she finishes, she can barely stand up.)
Oh... (Lucy groans.) What's going on? Usually I don't run out of energy this fast...least I became Dinah...
(The obvious answer is because she's usually a more resilient Riolu and not a Smeargle and unused to the change in stamina.)

"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."Maybe one more. He'd probably want to know.
"Hey, Ni-?"
...
"Where's Niles?" She asks the group.
I'm Huney B now. Okay?The Azumarill watches PJ!Jani for a moment, trying to piece everything together, before sighing and placing the envelopes all together on a bench nearby.
My apologies, but I've got no idea on all of your names quite yet. Though, I suppose since they're all equal it doesn't matter as long as everyone gets one. Unless you have a different system in place, but I suppose that's not my business. Anyways, I have to get going. Feel free to call on me in the guild office here if you need anything.
With that, the Azumarill waits for a moment to field any questions about the town, and if he gets none will turn and walk off the way he came with a quick stride. Mila, meanwhile, is looking around for Niles after Finley mentions not seeing him.
"I... I can't see him anywhere. Did he get swapped?"

I need to update these things more often[I laugh nervously.] "That's, uhh, that is my body yer using, so, uh..." [I try and help her stay upright, though it's difficult at my current height. I imagine that tiredness is gonna hit me like a brick once we turn back to normal.]
"Y'feelin' okay? You, umm...y'think we need t'get ya some food? That always seems t'bring me right back t'normal...don't really know why..." [I have this running belief that Sketching Transform may have changed me a bit, I dunno...I wouldn't think that food would recuperate my energy so easily before that.]

Noriaki bowed respectfully and expressed his gratitude before taking his envelope.
"Lovely, hopefully soon we can locate an establishment where I could find some sellswords. Or would they be sellpaws or something to that effect here? Hehe...."
He hears Finley and responds to her, "I spotted him earlier, but he seemed to be trying to remain distant from the rest of us. I admit, I am a bit concerned to hear he isn't nearby now."

Yes...please... (Lucy wheezes. Between morphing into her deceased mother and then morphing into Dinah straight afterward, she is on the brink of tears.)
(Dinah-as-Benji is in the form of a Charizard when she suddenly notices Eliot and Lucy. Not catching Eliot and Lucy switching bodies, she assumes that her doppelganger is Eliot. She runs over to them.) Eliot, are you all right? (She asks "Eliot" in concern.)
(Benji-as-Dinah runs over as well.) You okay, kid?
What's going on now? (Delilah-as-me asks me-as-her, pointing to Lucy-as-Eliot.)
I...uh...I dunno... (I say.)
🎵 My dear prince... (Belle says.) I think things are getting a bit out of hand. You should return everyone to normal very soon. Even I am starting to lose track of everyone.
(Manaphy nods. He waits to be asked first, however.)
"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."
Purrloin Jani by shrubBird
"Wouldn't want to throw this opportunity away too soon. At least, if it's okay with PJ."
*Helioptile!Jani grins, perking up from her perch atop Goodra!Delilah's head*
"Maybe we could get a bite to eat, first? And...uh, Prince Manaphy, are you going to be around for awhile?"
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.(Hey, me. I have to question: What's with this violent aggression? … Stop that. Anyways, what's wrong with me? I knew I had anger issues, but this is… What, do I have VA or something?) Running virus scans… (Nope, all those weird thoughts are definitely still mine.)
If I don't clash, I don't change. The world ends at my borders, and the best moments slip away."Whoa, guys..." [I feel a little overwhelmed with everyone towering over me, I can feel my heart thumping for a moment, but I soon calm down and keep at helping Lucy-as-moi stay upright.]
"Uuiiihhh, Imma need y'guys to, umm—hey, anyone got any food fer'er? [I look over on the benches, noticing a fan of envelopes that I saw someone leave there out of the corner of my eye, and that I see in the hands of some of the others. More money?: I hope the payout's as handsome as it was last time.]
Wait a minute, that's Lucy? (Delilah-as-me asks.)
But we don't have any- (Dinah-as-Benji starts to say, but then she remembers the candy Arie gave Lucy when they were in her store earlier. She digs the candy out of Lucy's satchel and gives the bag to Lucy.)
(Lucy takes the candy and begins hurriedly gobbling it down.)
What did she do? (I ask Eliot-as-Lucy.)
Yeah, she's a mess... (Marsha says.)
(I realize that Marlon asked me if Del and I wanted to switch back. At this point, it's probably a good idea. Thinking about it, I'm so accident prone that I'll probably fall and bust Delilah's hip open. I look to Del.)
You ready to switch back, Del? (I ask her.)
If you're ready to, Goobert. (Delilah says.)

"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here.""Whoa!" [I'm a little shocked when the Charizard (I don't fucking know who) reaches into my...no, this is Lucy's satchel. I didn't even realize that was hers...]
"Uh," [I say, answering Delilah's (no, Goobert's) question,] "I told her about Transform, 'n...she did it twice..." [I look around for any kind of restaurant...I know a candy bar won't suffice for food. Damnit, damnit, damnit, where is one?]
🐟 You aren't kiddin', Marly. (Marsha says.)
(I cringe when Eliot tells me what happened. Poor Lucy.)
If that ain't gonna be enough, then we can take her to the cafe and get her something, just sayin'. (Benji-as-Dinah says, picking up the still clearly exhausted Lucy and loading her onto Charizard!Dinah-as-Benji's back.)
(In the meantime, Delilah and I walk over to Manaphy.) Hey, I think we're ready to switch back now.
Okay... (Manaphy says. His antennae glow.)
JOLT!
(I look at myself.) Feels good to be slimy again. (I remark to Delilah.)
That was fun while it lasted. (Delilah says. Then she turns her attention back to Lucy.)
🎵 Should we go with you in case they want to switch back while away? (Belle asks me.)
I mean, you can so we don't have to hunt you down... (I say.)
(Belle starts to follow when she suddenly realizes something.) 🎵Oh goodness, I forgot, I have to get to the ding-up table for the singing contest! (Belle says.) I am so sorry, but I must go...best of luck to you all!
(Belle, Manaphy, and the Ludicolo guards hurry off. Delilah and I turn back to the incident at hand.)

Purrloin Jani by shrubBird
*Helioptile!Jani atop Goobert's head gives gives an upside-down look as she says with a grin*
"Back to your gooey self, huh? I hope you don't mind me being here for awhile...having four properly proportioned appendages again is nice, but I never knew how dry a Helioptile's skin was..."
*Tilly sighs as Manaphy and Co. leave. A bit unnerved by the situation, especially how casually Jani is acting, she opts to stop drawing attention to herself, but she intends to follow the Helioptile like a stalker*

Dana is standing towards the back of the group while the Heart Swapping goes on. She still seems a bit tired, but she's standing at least.
we will survive.
