[Spruce] I woke up in front of the mission board with only Celes near me, and a giant snaketrack in the wood leading somewhere. [i]That M... he almost killed someone! I don't want to end up on the outlaw board. Maybe he's just stressed out[/i] I think as I try to think of some way to lighten him up, or, cheer him up. [i]Maybe a good old-fashioned prank would do. I've still got that bucket in my room, all I'd need is some water, and a door.[/i] I ponder as I head towards my team's room, making a note of where that indent led, as well as a single poke that seems to have fallen off of someone. I take the bucket from behind my bed, one that I used to use to occasionally refill the guild's well during droughts, a job that I never liked too much, and I head off, passing by Celes again. I head towards the guild's well, which wasn't too far. Just a few steps to the right of the guild, and there it was, missing bucket and everything. I tied the rope to my bucket, and lowered it into the well, eventually getting some water, and raising the bucket back up. Obviously, it was much heavier like this, so it took a little longer than lowering it. As soon as the bucket was back up above ground, I took it using my vines, and headed back towards that room that M MIGHT have been in... with my only clues being a giant snake track, and a single pokecoin that nobody seemed to want for some reason. I open the door very slightly and very carefully, and place the bucket on the top of the door using my vines. I then head back up to the mission board, standing next to Celes as I act like I've been looking at missions this whole time. --- [Anthony] "Hey! That's my water gem... actually... I think you can keep it. I don't use Bubble all that often anyways," I say to Xeno, as I notice him hold up the water gem I was saving in my bag. It was originally going to be a gift to Martin for being my friend and helping me and my mother out of our situation, but, well... everything kinda changed that day, and I found out what Martin was really up to. I heard that sableye, such as Xeno, eat gems as if they were food, so, I'm sure that he'd appreciate the gem, at the very least. I then explain Xeno's possible confusion on the word 'team', saying "Well, as a teammate of ours, you can, fistly, always teleport back here, using that badge, but it also means that we will help you out of any bad situations you might find yourself in, and you'll do the same for any of us... oh, and we split all of the reward money amongst each other... I hope you at least know what money is," I then head towards the outlaw board, and notice a very familiar-looking mudkip on a poster. [indent][indent][indent]'This hoodlum has been seen kidnapping and stealing from rookie and veteran exploration teams, and even random civilians who try to explore Foggy Plains, and he always seems to escape from officers due to the fog of the area. Hopefully someone can catch this crook.'[/indent][/indent][/indent] The reward seemed to be a hefty 4,000 poke, that is, after the guild fee, of course. I then showed the poster to the rest of the team, wondering if they also remembered this mudkip... from when they first met me, of course. --- [Bonnie] "So much for stealth... urg..." I comment as I notice a giant group of enemies appear. Two scrafty were already trying to use high jump kick on me, and the only thing I could think of doing was to duck. It worked on one of the attacks, but the other nailed me right in the face, and flung me backwards several feet. I try to use attract on one of them, however, she, as I now know, simply laughed at me, and tried to attack again, this time with low kick. I jump to avoid that attack, and head over to the sandslash, using frustration on him, somehow dealing quite a bit of damage. "Tini, mind using Fairy Wind? There are a lot of enemy fighting types, around," I say to Tini, who seemed dazed and confused after waking up. The two scrafty from earlier then show up again, and, cornered, I try to think of something to do, and end up basically flinging myself towards the scrafty who laughed at me earlier, making sure to kick as I jumped towards her... I think I might have just used jump kick, somehow. Either way, the move knocked her down, and allowed me to escape, or, at least, get out of that mess. I wasn't going to leave the rest of my team behind, but I wasn't about to be stuck with two scrafty and a sandslash all trying to attack me at once. The other scrafty, as in, the one I didn't knock out yet, then runs towards me, and I try to use the move again, but, the heat finally gets to me "Water... shade..." I say just before I pass out from, well, I guess the heat of this place, alone. I could hear someone laughing at me as I said that, but what could I do, right?
