Crowgepi: <Oh, we're going to PEFE Island because->
Ghostus: <Of reasons you shouldn't tell someone you just met.>
Misdreavus!Every: <Well, I'm not sure, but I think it's supposed to be really->
Rush: -places a hand over Every's mouth- <Ignore him. He isn't really used to dealing with others.>
Guardian: <We're going to a place called Seaside Wonder.>
-Every simply phases through Rush's hand and pops into Rojos's face- <So who are you? How old are you? What's your favorite color? What do you do for a living?>
[spoiler]Special thanks to Tangent for helping me with this.
-A certain party is taking in a maze of modules erected seemingly haphazardly in twisting towers… Interwoven by platforms of both wood… And...-
<Dreyer: "Oh! They have the glowy bridges here, too!"> :O :O
-As the plethora of newly added blue hard light bridges would indicate, a number of less tangible platforms too-
<Maurice: "… How do these guys get all this stuff? And are they going to miss any of it?"> ._.
<Natrix: "How do these guys sleep at night with that glow?"> >_>;
<Savarin: "What's glowing? |O">
<Gelato: "Oh. It's those bridges that we saw down in those bug mines earlier! They're up here too!">
-Giving an involuntary shudder at the mention of said mines-
<Elh: "I don't know, they seem far more inviting with different mons living here…">
<Tracer(?): "So… This is where that Pidgey was supposed to have flown off to, right…?">
<Savarin: "Yeah! So all we gotta do is catch a bird and we get our rings, right? You peoplemons with eyes, just tell me what to chase!">
<Passerby!Pidgey: "Welcome to Flipside!">
<Nimbus: "Aha! There you a-!">
<Messenger!Pidgey: "Out of my way! Got a big order from Unova to fill!">
<Nimbus: "Eh? Wait, but-"> ._.
-Some dust falls on the group from above-
<Janitor!Pidgey: "Oh, sorry! Thought that elevator wasn't in use today, didn't see where I was cleaning!"> ^v^;
<All: "…"> ._.
<Elh: "This could not have been so easy, could it?"> >_>
-A nearby square hosts a performance of a classic drama-
<Skarmory!Pidgey: "You won't get away with this! I will defeat you and save the world's gummi supply!">
<J!Unown: "… This one never remembered that episode… Must be fan-made.">
<Truck!Pidgey: "Vrrrrm, this is the end of your life, Valiant!">
<Silly!Pidgey: "Coo, coo~ I'm baaaaack~">
<Skarmory!Pidgey + Truck!Pidgey: "Impossible!!!">
<Narrator!Pidgey: "We would like to thank Croagunk Cola for sponsoring this public art performance, and congratulate them on their reopening after 600 years out of business!">
-There is a long and awkward silence as Pidgey can be seen interspersed throughout the settlement-
<Savarin: "Hrmmm? What's the holdup? This shouldn't be that hard… Right?"> |/
<Everyone Else: "…"> >.<
Rojos: <PEFE Island? Have you got a boat yet?>
<'cause I imagine Peeko could get you there faster than anybody!>
-gets Everyfaced-
<Oh. Um... I said I'm Rojos, I'm about 8 years old, I like red, and I told you already, I'm an adventurer usually, but specifically a sailor right now.>
<Er... how's the ghost thing going? How long have you been dead?>
Misdreavus!Every: <Billions of yea->
Guardian: <Maybe six months.>
Misdreavus!Every: <Hmph.>
Hive: <Wait,><You'><re a sailor?><Perhaps you could take us where we are going?>
J!Unown: This one believes some sort of Pidgey convention is going on right now...
<Elh: "... Ugh... I guess we should start asking around?"> >_>;
<Teala(?): "How on earth are we supposed to keep track of these guys anyways?"> ._.
<Gelato: "I mean, if we had paint or something and it wouldn't get us in trouble, we could just dab them with a little bit of it.">
<Savarin: "Or flour! Wouldn't be mistakin' anyone with that!">
<Tagg(?): "Oh come on, if Luxray could lead us down a well, I'm sure that she can get us to that bird without a problem.">
-Staring blankly at the sea of birds-
<Luxray(?): "... I'll see what I can do. Tracking a single Pidgey without a tag charge or having seen it before... Could take a while."> ._.;
<Baker!Pidgey: "Hello, might I interest you in a bagel? My poppyseed bagels are famous the entire island over!"> ^v^
<Elh: "I'm fairly sure that this isn't who we're looking for..."> -_-;
<Dahak: "Still worth a shot... Say... Do you happen to know a Skarmory named Valiant?">
<Baker!Pidgey: "... Eh? Someone named their chick after that character from the play? Strikes me as a little... Well... Excessive."> ^v^;
<Natrix: "Yeah, this isn't who we're looking for."> >_>;
<Luxray(?): "Well excuse me for having to pick between a bunch of muddled trails!"> >.<
<Garchomp(?): "Wait, maybe this isn't a total bust... Say... Have you had any Pidgey that have started buying stuff here relatively recently?">
<Baker!Pidgey: "Well, I might know a few peoplemons that fit who you're looking for...">
<Simo: "How many Pidgeys has this been?"> -_-;
<Natrix: "37."> >.<
<Maurice: "At this rate, we'd be better off asking the next mon at tailpoi-"> >.<
<Teala(?): "..."> >:|
<Maurice: "It was just an observation!"> >.<
<Nudi(?): "Okay, what about this candidate?">
<Florist!Pidgey: "Might I interest you in a bouquet? All the flowers are locally grown!"> ^v^
<All: *groan*>
<Florist!Pidgey: "... Would you perhaps be more interested in a corsage?">
<Tracer(?): "No... It's not that... It's just that we've been looking for someone who's a long, LONG way from home...">
<Tagg(?): "And been having terrible luck at it."> >_>;
<Luxray(?): "I mean, we're sure enough the mon's been here sometime recently..."> >_>;
<Florist!Pidgey: "Erm... I mean, usually I'm not comfortable passing on information about my customers like this... But... You're looking for someone that's not from here?">
<Natrix: "Yeah? Why?">
<Florist!Pidgey: "Well, I mean, I'm not sure if it's helpful, but there was this one customer that was asking me about where the updrafts were around the island...">
-The group approaches the form of a solitary Pidgey pecking at some seeds-
<Tracer(?): "... Are we sure about this?">
<Luxray(?): "... The scents match up. If that's not who we're looking looking for, it's someone who's been really close.">
<Tracer(?): "... Good enough...">
-And approaches the Pidgey-
<Tracer(?): "Hello, do you happen to know a Skarmory-">
<Overlook!Pidgey: "NO. I don't know a Skarmory named Valiant, you nosy lizard! Buzz off!">
<Savarin: "... We never mentioned the Skarmory's name...">
-There is a long and awkward silence-
<Unown!J: "... This one thinks we have found who we're supposed to... Though suspects there is a story behind this.">
Rojos: <Well, I don't command the ship, but I think we're looking for work. Shall I lead you to our captain?>
Misdreavus!Every: Yes! You shall~
Crowgepi: <Ooh, we'd like to meet them, yes.>
Ghostus: <Speak for yourself...>
Turtwig!Tagg: <That would be appreciated.>
Cuyahoga: Charizard prefer to fly their own way-
Blenda: You'll be carrying ALL of us? Maybe halfway around the world?
Cuyahoga: ...Charizard also happily accept assistance when offered.
Slowpoke!Tangent: hmm... it would simplify our transport arrangements...
-A certain Buizel and Machoke are helping to load crates onto a Wingull-shaped catamaran-
<Miles: "What's taking him so long?"> >_>;
<Lamarr: "Well hey, Rojos did say that he grew up around here, he's probably taking some time to soak things all in.">
<Miles: "Actually, I was referring to Matryx. But now that you mention it, this land does seem to have a way of making dragons act wierd."> -_-;
<Peeko(?): "Hey... Have any of you seen the axe-?">
-And a certain Fraxure plods up the ramp, carrying a large open crate-
<Matryx: "Aha! Got it!"> ^_^
<Miles: "Got what? We already got supplies, Matryx.">
<Matryx: "Not like these, you haven't!"> ^_^
-And reveals the contents of the crate to be a large batch of Casteliacones-
<Matryx: "Ta-dah!">
<All: *groan* >
<Miles: "You seriously spent all this time buying ice cream?"> -_-;
<Matryx: "B-B-But it's a regional specialty!"> D:
<Peeko(?): *sigh* "They look nice, Matryx, but I'm paying you to help get this boat out of harbor, not to ferry us sweets!"> >v>
<Matryx: "But- Aww..."> :(
<Peeko(?): "Well hey, you're not the last one back to the boat so I probably can't yell at you too much... If you give me one of those Wacan-flavored cones, that is."> ^v^
<Miles: "... Tell me that you didn't just get that to suck up to Peeko."> :|
<Matryx: "Eh?! No! That's not what I was trying to do at-!"> ._.;
<Lamarr: "So, I take it that that's an invitation for us to take one, then?"> :P
<Matryx: "Er... Ehehe... I mean, I figured that they be best shared, yeah..."> ^///^
