Tara roosted on top of Erika's head as they hashed out their plan before walking in. Well, plan, as in they were just going to walk in with safeguard and see what happens. Though it was nice that Rose was going to be her backup after all. Erika had never done anything like sneaking around before. It seemed like this could go wrong in so many ways so maybe it was nice that someone who did have experience, whatever length that may be, was joining her.

[color=6ecff6]"Thank you, because..."[/color] Erika muttered, [color=6ecff6]"...I kind of don't know what I'm doing and making it up as a go."[/color] It was rather scary to be so sneaky. [color=6ecff6]"I've never done anything like this."[/color]

[color=00aeef]"Swaaa~"[/color] Tara chirped in reassurance, fluttering her fluffy wings. Erika's eyes shot up, but were just able to look at the brim of her hat. [color=6ecff6]"Thanks Tara, speaking of actually, I think Tara will cover Chimeco, too, but I guess I don't really know for sure. Safeguard might have limit so I'll keep Tara out to keep that up."[/color]

Then without further ado, they entered.

Erika lowered her goggles and analyzed the lines leading her downstairs. Okay, so they had to get downstairs somehow but she doubted she could just walk there. She stepped up to the receptionist and got the explanation on everything. 

She did her best to hide her frown. Did people really come here to sleep more in their lives? Maybe if you struggled to sleep but what if these people just slept all day? [color=6ecff6]"Oh, right, Sleep O'Clock..."[/color] Erika uttered, nodding as if she knew what that was. She could guess considering the people and the Jigglypuff primed to sing, she imagined. How would she work her way to the basement, she wondered. There was no way they just could go walking down there.

[color=6ecff6]"No thank you on the Sleep O'Clock. I actually have a weird sleep condition that prevents me from sleeping."[/color] Erika furrowed her brow as she tried to spin her sudden comment to something useful. [color=6ecff6]"Unless I sleep somewhere underground. All that rock overhead just feels like a warm blanket that puts me right to sleep! So I was wondering if I could maybe use your basement. You do promise nothing but the deepest sleeps and I juuust happen to sleep only deep in the earth."[/color]

Erika wasn't sure how her improvised story would sell the receptionist but she did have an ace in the hole in that regard. Safeguard would prevent her from sleeping when Jigglypuff sang so as long as the receptionist didn't know about Safeguard, this might appear convincing enough.
