Munn: Uh-
Joseph: Daisy and Marigold were getting into a tiff again, and Rosie's going on about how in her day there weren't any hydrangeas around. Other than tha,t not much.
Zeal: Oh, that...?
-He glances at his flute for a moment, a blue glow coming through the mask.-
Zeal: Just an impromptu. If I had to put it into words... I guess it's my tribute to those who fight back against their own misery.
-He grins, his eye shining green again.-
Zeal: Though that's a bit of a mouthful. Not exactly the catchiest title.
Stellaluna: <And your point is...?>
Lina: Nothing... Better try elsewhere.
Thank you! That was all I needed.
-She flies off on Stellaluna-
Maggie: "...Okay, this guy is totally creepy. Why did I want to talk to him?"
Zeppelin: <Which is why you should have listened to me before. Now, let me drag you away.>
Maggie: "No, that won't work. He'll guess something's up if I don't fight and you're not hard to get away from anymore."
-Zeppelin huffs indignantly as Maggie continues-
"Besides, maybe this is the worst of it? Still wouldn't help much, but..."
"Uh... that sounds nice. Maybe you'll think of a better title?"
Sprite: (noticing Lina flying away, thinking) "Wasn't that another one of DS' friends? Ah, but she's already left..."
- HotStuff is presumably travelling with the Emboar -
- Georgette is barking and poking at a small opening in a wall -
Georgette: <Come out, little Rattata! I want to ask if you've seen my friends!>
Deziree: Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, alright. But only because you're my most favorite apprentice ever!
Dune: She's your only apprentice.
Deziree: Details, details!
Zeal: I hope so! Though that all depends on whether or not I can remember the melody in the first place.
-He grins once more. The Gengar is now a bit more awake, though he's still content with sitting and listening to the conversation.-
-Savannah laughs nervously as she hurriedly folds the design up and stores it in her pouch.-
-The Emboar is most definitely travelling with HotStuff, then-
Maggie: "Ah, yeah..."
Deziree: Anyway, herbology isn't exactly part of your current studies, so I'll give you a choice - you wanna come with us to find some flowers, or would you rather watch the shop while we're gone?
Savannah: U-um... I'm f-fine either way, I think. W-would one option be m-more helpful for y-you?
Zeal: So, then, what brings you here?
Maggie: "Uh, 'to this place' here or 'to talk to you' here?"
-Lina and Stellaluna are still soaring and may spot or be spotted by someone-
Dune: More time with the shop open means more chances at getting a commission...
Deziree: But more time with her means more Master/Apprentice bonding time!
Dune: Unless you can turn that bonding into some kind of tape that can hold anything together, I suggest we concern ourselves with the constant costs we find ourselves paying the local glassworks.
Deziree: Oh, fine.
Garuda: <That was an oddly linear cave system...>
-Garuda gains altitude in an attempt to get his bearings.-
Garuda: <This is... quite odd.>
-Stellaluna nearly runs into Garuda-
Stellaluna: <Ack! Watch where you're going!>
Lina: Garuda? What are you doing here?
-Garuda blinks his third eye.-
Garuda: <Miss... Lina? Ergh...>
-His third eye begins to spin.-
Garuda: <Feel... something strange. A force has attempted to do... something with my mind. Backup memory - enacted.>
-Garuda looks around.-
Garuda: <Where are we? Have you seen Dune anywhere?>
Zeal: Would the answer be different if it was one or the other?
-A red flash comes from his mask.-
Zeal: You wouldn't be asking me to clarify if that wasn't the case, of course. So...
-Another green flicker and another grin.-
Zeal: Guess I'm asking both!
Savannah: Er... Then I-I should...
-She looks down as her voice trails off.-
-Deziree gives Savannah a reassuring pat on the shoulder.-
Deziree: Just keep an eye on the front door, take down the orders of whatever customers come in, and if they ask for me, just respectfully inform them that I'm out at the moment.
Dune: And if that obnoxious knight, Doradan, shows up, turn him away as usual. I swear, I've half a mind to take him up on his duel challenge.
Deziree: Honey, last time you did that, you broke both of his legs.
Dune: One of those was an accident.
Lina: I don't know... But those Unown, they must have done something to everyone's minds... But why were you and I unaffected?
-She nods.-
Savannah: O-okay! U-understood!
-A look of nervousness crosses Maggie's face briefly as she thinks-
Maggie: Wait, why did I specify? I don't trst this guy enough to tell him why I'm here.
Maybe if I just answer one...
"Uh..."
"I wanted to see if you knew anything happier."
-Garuda's third eye blinks.-
Garuda: <No immediate evidence suggests any one theory. My hypothesis: I was not an intended target, and thus my backup memories were not overwritten. Odd side effect of my Sigilyph designation.>
-He looks around.-
Garuda: <I know very little of the Unown. They are not known for their willingness to communicate despite, as Deziree so adequately put it, "literally being letters".>
Deziree: Alrighty, then! We'll be back before sundown!
Dune: Hopefully we won't be accosted by anyone wishing anything untoward, but if that's the case we might be back after dinner.
Zeal: Oh? Guess that makes sense...
-Red flash.-
Zeal: Still don't really know why you're here to begin with, but...
-Green flash.-
Zeal: I guess it doesn't matter all that much.
-He holds his flute up.-
Zeal: Anything in particular you wanted to hear?
-Savannah waves goodbye.-
Lina: OK, that explains you... Then why wasn't I...
-She thinks back to something Waka told her a year ago, and what happened as a result-
...Aha! I'm a Mind Of Crystal! They couldn't get to me!
...Garuda. We need to find Dune, or any of the others. See if we can get their memories back and find out what's going on.
Stellaluna: <I have no clue what you two are talking about and at this point I don't wanna know.>
Maggie: "Nothing more comes to mind."
-Dune and Deziree wave as they head out.-
Deziree: Now, where was the field with the Peacebloom again...?
-Dune facepalms as Deziree ponders over a map.-
Garuda: <Indeed. However, I have no experience with the local geography, and thus have no idea where to begin looking. What sort of situation were you in when you first found yourself in this... World?>
