> Well, Anthony's group could use another non-NPC, but you'd have to wait for them to finish their fight. Sounds good ;P

Having found something to eat Jacob was back in the city, walking through the alleys and back streets without real direction or purpose. His thoughts kept straying back to the girl in the park, more specifically what she had been trying to offer. She was far to forward, and rude, and angry, but the concept of what she'd been asking intrigued Jacob. Food, a place to sleep, a job maybe? Sounded more gang like but it would be the closest thing to a job Jacob had ever had. "She said to watch out for people dressed like her," Jacob muttered, doing his best to remember her words. _"Find someone in a creepy jacket then,"_ someone sneered, their voice sounding distant. So Jacob began wandering randomly with a purpose, looking for anyone he could maybe approach. Unfortunately he'd need to hope he could actually find them, since lots of conduits traveled over the streets when in a hurry and Jacob for the most part lacked this ability. Sure he was fast and strong enough to jump from one building to another but climbing or scaling them was beyond his ability.

I'm just kinda making posts to wait for someone I can hopefully interact with. At this point Xeno might be more willing to be social so I'm looking for openings if anyone has one ;P

"Hey, you alright there?" Xeno, still having been frozen in place dared not move when one of the pokemon spoke to him directly. Still as stone he waited for whoever was behind him to leave with every muscle in his body tensed to run should he need to. "Hello?" the same voice asked, whoever it was beginning to move into the corner of his vision. _He's not leaving,_ Xeno concluded, leaping away and making a mad dash towards anywhere he could perceive as safe. The top of the strange dwellings looked out of reach, and so finding the tallest looking one Xeno clawed his way to the top and hid behind it to be best out of view from anyone. "Hey," the same voice said, the sound coming from right beside him. The Abra had teleported up to follow him, nearly giving Xeno a heart attack as he stumbled backwards and fell off the dwelling onto the street. In rather serious pain Xeno could only glance up to see the pokemon disappear to somewhere, looking guilty rather than angry. "ooohrrrrrrraaaaaaaa," Xeno groaned, able to barely pull himself up with one hand on his head and the other on his ribs. Temporarily defeated he sat down, clutching what ailed him while life for others around him continued. _What is this place?_

I find I get past writers block by thinking out a bunch of scenarios in my head and choosing one to role with, even if it wouldn't be my first choice. Normally once you start writing you figure out what you want to do and go back to change it.

> I will, was going to wait for Acer before I did since he said he would post today yesterday so I'm giving him a few hours still before moving on. Aight :).

> So... who were you on MCF, did you have the same username? Same username. I joined one of your RPs before as an Aron, and I think later a Heracross (might have been a different RP). Anyways I made an IC post; I managed to get myself to Allure Town but that's all I have for now :)

_Light. So much bright! Giant GLOWING CRYSTAL! Soft earth. Warmth._ Xeno struggled to process this new environment, not knowing there was a world beyond darkness until now. This new place was so alien, and open, there was no roof to cling to. His claws slashed through the scorched earth of the desert, the sableye still in a panic from being flushed from his home. As he ran one of the green stalagmites moved, turning to face him which only caused him to run faster. _Path. Path is like tunnel with no roof. Stay on path,_ he thought to himself, rushing across the terrain. ---------------------------------------------------- Eventually Xeno's run had led him out of the desert and into a forest, the concept of a forest being unknown to him but he was thankful for the shade. Out of breath Xeno leaned against one of the trees, his breathing raspy and congested as he tried to calm himself. Involuntarily he fell to his knees, hacking as black slobber escaped his mouth. Coal dust was a clingy substance, that was for sure, but the taste was more than enough to keep him coming back for more. After his coughing fit Xeno pushed himself to his feet and wiped his mouth, grunting to clear his throat before getting his first good look around. He was still on the path, but it was now surrounded by soft green stuff and large, brown, stalagmites. "What is this?" he breathed, scratching the corner of his crystal eye while trying to understand what was around him. He spent a few minutes like this, just staring at his surroundings before eventually his eyes fell on the pathway again. _Right_, he reminded himself, moving forward again in a now much calmer manor. ------------------------------------------------- Upon reaching Allure Town, Xeno felt more lost than before. There were little caves everywhere poking out of the ground, and strange pokemon that weren't trying to tunnel or sleep walking about. Standing in the middle of the town square Xeno remained motionless, no idea what to do as pokemon passed him again and again. A few gave him odd looks but none tried to attack him which only made Xeno more paranoid. _Should I run? No, they'll go after me for sure then. Stupid, I walked into their territory. This is horrible; maybe I can get away when none of them are looking,_ he thought, dreading how fast some of them might be able to run or even fly.

Coolio. Also ya, hi KaBling :P.

I think someone needs to give an establishing post as to what's happening with the limited access to sand-sand conduit.
