[@Raijinslayer] No no, that's fair. If I'd been able to go first I would've featured him apologizing to both of them, trying to make amends, and hopefully avoiding all of that... but I was held up at work tonight and got beat out by old Quick Fingers Fei, so the entire thing's gone up in smoke (along with my intentions).

It is what it is. Unfortunately, that doesn't leave me with a readily apparent option. Seth can't even tip off Ms Dragonite to the Club nerds since he doesn't even know they exist. The Banditry on Route 1 I could figure him knowing about (hell, it even gives a credible reason for Celes to have been escorting him as protection), but those two there's just no way.

I'll figure out something eventually. Hopefully before things get too out of hand.

By the by, I've been meaning to ask... how does Jaden have 3 mons if we can't have 2 until Boulder Badge? Or is the slots unlocked by badges a more recent thing that isn't be retroactively applied?
