Purrloin Jani by shrubBird
"...what the hell was that?"
*Helioptile!Jani perks up from her resting position, then turns to ask the others*
"Can't seem to get a break anywhere, huh?"
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus."Well, first of all, beats me," I say, referencing whatever the hell that noise was. "Second, I dunno if you didn't notice, but I really do not like you. Third, God fucking damn it, I'm still alive."

If I don't clash, I don't change. The world ends at my borders, and the best moments slip away."That sounds wonderful." [I feel somewhat relieved of the burden of Lucy-'s weight, but I still need to make sure nothing else happens to her, especially since it is my body. I freaked out a little when Belle and Manaphy ran off, but I figure I could always just get back to the two of them once we get this sorted out.]
"So café, you know of a café, where's this—" [I jump in surprise when I hear this banshee shriek emanating from somewhere in town.] "...what the fuck was that?" [I realize now that I just said that while I'm inhabiting a little girl's body, but at this point, that really isn't my main concern...]

I know you don’t like me. And I know you don’t like yourself. But I think if you have problems, I’m your foil, man! You’re non-confrontational, I’m confrontational. You hate yourself, I love myself. You could use someone like me! And me, well, I don’t know where the others are, so you’ll suffice for now. Come on man, venting is healthy! Usually.
Andy wasn’t sure why he all of the sudden gave Nyquil this spiel. This was just the most interesting thing he could do right now, really.
HuzzahWow, hearing myself use a grown-up word is...wheeze...weird... (Lucy says, hugging Dinah after being placed on Charizard!Dinah's back.) -I got in trouble last time I did that...
It's not far from the entrance to town, just sayin' (Benji says.) Come on, Dinah and I will show you!
(As Delilah and I turn to follow, I also look for the source of the strange noise.) What is that...?
Sounds like somethin' I heard in a nightmare once... (Marsha says as she also turns to follow the still switched Benji and Dinah.)
(I speak to Jani as we go along.) Yeah, it always feels good to be back to my normal self after incidents like this. And you can totally ride up there.

"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."(I watched the shenanigans around me before I heard a horrible screech. I flinch at the sudden noise and put up my wing. As soon as it grew worse, I speak to them.) I'll check out what that was. Follow me if you want. (I headed off in the direction of the wail, hoping to find the source.)

"I treasure every day with you, darling." "No need to be so sappy, love." "You know that's how she is, Nia." - AU!Pyra, Nia, MythraAs I went through this next paragraph, my talking was accelerating. "Bitch, please. The last thing I need is you. You keep thinking that you're able to read people and get into their heads when all you do is get under their skin. But who am I to talk? I'm just some dumbass, killing fuckwad who has absolutely NO right to exist. Deadass wondering why whatever higher power you may or may not believe in thought it was a great idea to let me live. Cuz I didn't ask for this shit. I never asked for all the depre-" The ranting kinda trailed off due to lack of breath.
If I don't clash, I don't change. The world ends at my borders, and the best moments slip away."..." Finley is set off by the combo of Niles being missing and the screaming.
She is now on the floor quietly panicking.
I'm Huney B now. Okay?

"'Incidents'? You speak of it as if it were a chore, or some horrible curse."
*Helioptile!Jani says to Goobert, riding atop his head but making sure not to obstruct his field of view*
"If anything, this is kind of a blessing in disguise. Really gives you a different perspective of things...I dunno if being ground-locked made me mildly stir crazy or what, but I kinda feel more alive than ever." *realizing who might be trailing behind, she adds* "Speaking of which..."
*Jani turns around to wherever Diglett!PJ is*
"Coming, P—I mean, uh, Jani?"
*Jani can't help but grin with that last part*
*Tilly, too, investigates the noise...she takes Jani's cart along with her. She's troubled by everything Jani's saying, to say the least*
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.I mean, I wasn't saying that like I didn't like it when things like that happening to me... ( I point out.) It's interesting getting a new perspective like that. I just like returning to my normal self afterwards. There's something comforting about going back to my normal self...
(Now that I'm thinking about it, though, I can't help but wonder what would happen if there came a time where I would be stuck as someone else permanently...)

"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."As the town comes into sight, the Goop Troop and Jani see a crowd of teenage girls, predominantly Rock- and Poison-types, crowding around a carriage driven by a very clearly pissed off Hydreigon. The girls are screaming, fanatical smiles plastered on their faces. A shiny Lilligant peers out of the reinforced window of the carriage with bored eyes, a Sawk's arm draped around her shoulder. She barely flinches as a Bergmite throws herself at them and bounces off the glass. "TOOOOPHEEER!!! COOOOLTOOON!!! WEEEENTWOOOORTH!!!" they scream.

"..."
"They have...pop idols here...?"
*Helioptile!Jani wonders aloud to Goobert and the others, not particularly expecting such a scene. After thinking more about the others she's seen...hell, even Swoop Up Your Dreams never had this kind of fanfare, she asks the group*
"Think we should check this Gopher Cult Wentworth out?"
*Tilly, too, files it under "strange". She opts to follow along with the others, making mental notes and comparing to what she learned from Jani*
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.The Hydreigon's expression turns from PO'd to panicked as a group of the fangirls seizes the carriage and begins rocking it back and forth, attempting to carry it off or crack it open—it's hard to tell given how chaotic the frenzy is. His right head drops the rein and begins hiccuping bouts of flame. A Nidorina climbs up beside him, brandishing a tube of lipstick. He begins calling for help, but the teens inside the carriage are unperturbed.
they butchered the Punk Punk article >:/"I'm just trying to say…" I keep breathing to make sure I can actually get to the end of this. "I'm not up for trying to making things better. Gave up on that a looong time ago."

If I don't clash, I don't change. The world ends at my borders, and the best moments slip away.[Before I leave, I run over and go through the envelopes, ultimately settling on one labeled "Smeargle" and snatching it up before returning to follow Benji (right, Benji, they would've switched) and (by that logic) Dinah.]
"Okay, okay, these are gonna be big portions, right? Like...like the Beacon!" [Wait, fuck, they wouldn't know what the Beacon was! None of the others who were human would either, I went there after a track meet! I'm kinda freaking out a little about all this...I clutch my envelope...I want to catch up with Dinah(?) and stuff it in my bag, but...]
After seeing what's happening with Finley, Mila drops down to hold on to her and try to comfort her, oblivious to the source of the noise itself. She can't help but wonder if this music festival is just one cruel joke and their definition of "music" doesn't fit with the one she knew as a human. But for the moment, she puts that thought aside and focuses on Finley.
"Hey... Finley, it's going to be alright, okay?"
I need to update these things more often

Seemingly out of nowhere, a loud, shrill noise pierces the morning calm, coming from the town like the dying screams of a thousand tortured Noibats. The honking of a horn accompanies it, barely audible over the hysteric cries.
