Toothy just so happens to hear a certain pair of bickering Zoroark, as well as a certain ghost, on the shore nearby. Curiously, he swims over to them.

Toothy: <Hello! My name's...well, I'm not really sure. Most peoplemons just call me Toothy. Who are you? And I know this is going to sound weird...but where am I?>

Toothy: <Bladeshore?>

Didn't sound like the most inviting name in the world. It made him worry if the locals were maybe adverse to visitors.

<Hello then, Eir. So, you're training to be a reaper?>

He tilts his head in a mixture of curiosity and worry.

<As in the "Taking souls to the afterlife" sort of reaper?>

PEFE-That-Was

Human!Ammy: Wait a minute...

-presses the switch for the propulsion gel, then the repulsion gel, creating a path of the former that leads to a patch of the latter. -

Now we can slide and bounce across! ^_^

The Bowels of the Earth - PEFE-That-Was

-Watching Ammy make a path of Propulsion Gel with a dollop of Repulsion Gel along the edge of the platform-

<Pepper: "(You can't be serious...) ._.">

<"Oh! That's brilliant, Ammy! ... But how do we get around that tower in the way?">

-And points at the tower with portalable surfaces-

<Teala: "Wait a minute...">

-And casts a portal into the wall, and one at the forward panel of the tower. Before walking through and along the ringing catwalks-

<Teala: "Maybe there's something he- OH!">

-And spots a second level with a panel facing directly towards the elevator-

-And squeezes off a portal before coming back to the side of the tower facing us-

<Teala: "Can you see it through the portal now?">

Bladeshore - PEFE-That-Was

<Eir: "Eh? But you need to be dead first for me to do that! ... Or do you? Hmm...">

<Zoltan: "We're friendly! (Or at least I think Eir's friendly... I don't really know...) Where are you from anyways?">

Bladeshore - PEFE-That-Was

<Eir: "Memory problem? What do you mean by th-">

-It is at this point that a number of mons wearing and carrying armor that was secured through totally peaceful negotiation last night draw near-

<Shaun: "We're back!">

<Vlad: "Yeah, we got that- ... Who's this?">

<Nadia: "(That Duskull has totally been harassing him, hasn't she?)">

<Moogle: "Oh cool! Have you come to be a soldier too? (Even if this militia's disorganized and filled with undertrained serfs...)">

Bladeshore - PEFE-That-Was

-A voice calls off from beside the group-

<???: "You could say we've been having some computer troubles.">

-Revealing a Sandslash-

<Bottles: "(How does he do that, anyways?)">

<Andre: "We're going to go smash up a computer! (Uh... We are... Right?)">

Suddenly, Sandslash out of nowhere!

Toothy: <WHOA! Where did you come from?! How did you even DO that?!>

He blinks, confused.

<And you're having computer trouble? Well, I don't know much about them myself, but If you need armor to try and fix it, then something's probably gone horribly wrong at some point.>

PEFE Bowels

Skipper: I'll try!

-slides across the gel and bounces through the portal at the end-

Nazz: Wait for me! -does the same-

Styx: Muddy and Treeo are SO gonna kill us. ._.

Toothy: <...Oh wow.>

Having soaked for long enough, Toothy climbs out of the water and onto the shore.

<This isn't any ordinary computer you're dealing with here, is it?>

Thank goodness he hadn't asked of they had tried turning it off, then on again to try and fix the problem. It wouldn't have gone down well.

The Bowels of the Earth - PEFE-That-Was

-We follow the others' lead-

<"WHOA!">

<Lardna: "I'M PRETTY SURE THAT THIS ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LEGAL!">

<Pepper: "AAAAAAAAAAAAH!">

<Cleo: "Is this what flying is like?">

-And we reach the catwalk as an elevator draws near-

<Toothless: "Are you all okay?">

<@_@ "That depends, is it normal for your heart to stop for a couple of seconds?">

<Toothless: "... I will take that as a yes. Let's just get into that elevator.">

-And we begin to cram into it-

<AU!Tangent: "Great job, engineer, specialist, and/or political emissary! With your help, we're going to-">

-The recording abruptly speeds up-

<AU!Tangent: "This on? Hey. Listen up down there. That thing's called an elevator. Not a barf bag.">

<Pepper: "(After how we just got across that chasm, I'm pretty sure I understand why they were using these things for that.)" >_> >

-And the elevator closes behind us and begins to take us upward-

Bladeshore - PEFE-That-Was

<Bottles: "I'm pretty sure that most computers don't throw you into rooms where you get shot at, and threaten to kill you with poison.">

<Passing Displaced!Nidorina: "Sounds like my mother-in-law!">

Bladeshore - PEFE-That-Was

-A certain truck-sized female Samurott happens to be passing by and notices the group just standing around-

<Giant Female Samurott: "Hey, you! What do you all think that you're doing just loafing around! We have an assault to prepare for!">

-Casting an icy leer at Toothy-

<Giant Female Samurott: "Especially you! At least the young ones have an excuse to be playing around!">

<Buizel!Cecil: "(Good thing I picked a small mon for my illusion.) ._.>

Bladeshore - PEFE-That-Was

<Eir: "(Oh. Well that was convenient!)" < ) >

<Female Giant Samurott: "Mmph. (Spineless punk.) Alright, all of you, put that armor you're playing with to some actual use! The assault groups are leaving by sundown! If you're not with them, I had better see your tails in training or securing the perimeter!">

<All: "Alright! Alright!">

<Buizel!Cecil: "... At least she's kinda nice...">

<Eir: "I know! I think that I like her!">
