I joined in the rest of the group, spying on Arnold and his odd behaviour. "Oh, now he's using it... oh. Euh." By the time I finished my sentence, I was busy trying to pull myself from staring at the pan. "Well, at least he's using it for the intended use." I quipped as I turned to a mere shadow of Spruce, smirking rather nervously at the mentality of our guild leader. This seemed to catch on, starting with Spurce's frozen expression (before he unexpectedly left), before infecting Archie's noisy beak. Man, do we speak clearly or what? Some of us don't even possess mouths for that matter.

"Why can't you EVER understand the definition of sarcasm!?" Hm... here's some tips with dealing with crazy people:

"1. Never assume a crazy person can speak the same language as yourself-"

"Shut up, kid!" Archie squawked to my giant eye, his beak turning to me within a time span of a blink. "Can't you see he's gonna try gliding off the roof next!?" Archie continued exclaiming at my face, somehow the ear-piercing, hysterical voice rivaling my own screeches I used to stun Pokemon... er, I've only used it about twice, both to annoy if you need to know. Despite all the commotion that was going on at the bottom, Arnold seemed unfazed as he continued with his odd breakfast, adding more things I couldn't quite pick out from this distance...

"Either way, you took your time saying how I could!" He yelled out from above, almost slipping and causing Archie to shriek like an overly-protective mother. "This is summer, and I want to enjoy it! My way!" His voice had determined qualities, unusual to those of a crazy Pokemon. He pointed at Archie and targeted himself with the same finger as part of gestures during his turn to speak, using the empty hand he hadn't bothered using. Apart from digging up more food and dumping it into the pan.

"Just get down, and safely! You've got an entire guild to run, and I can't be bossing around 50 teams everyday!"

"Then I'll get Mr. Banana to take over when I'm dead, alright!?" Arnold yelled, forming a cone over his mouth with his pink paw, as he flipped the pancake of... gummis? My God, those things should've stuck like dried glue to... any hot surface.

I assumed by 'and safely,' that Arnold had done this before. And got down unsafely/got down dangerously/fell down dangerously. Of course, several Pokemon (noticeably the more older and experienced ones, or at least the ones familiar with Arnold) had left for their own reasons, be that boredom or lack of free time. Expectantly, people started following the pioneers as the powerless Archie continued to plea for Arnold's safety, his feathers stretching out beyond their limit... I didn't care too much. It was pretty evident Arnold was crazy before I got here, and he somehow survived his crazy acts. I wasn't going to spend my time boiling in the sun, and quite literally too if I was stuck in a pot outside.

'Yo, Archie. Just fly up there or somethin', 'cause you ain't gonna get him with words.' Nah, I didn't actually say that; I was just quoting what somebody else said. I was one of the last of the few to leave, hearing that admittedly quiet message and leaving it here to point out Archie's stubbornness. To my dismay, Archie remained stuck in that cycle, because he didn't hear it. At all. His own voice kicking better advice away...

After departing from the one-man commotion... well, when I turned to Spruce once more, even his shadow was long gone. Thankfully, tracking down his location was much easier, since he was only a meager distance away from my reflective eye with enlarged pupil. I never really knew why my pupil was bigger than a normal Magnemite's one... maybe, it could've stemmed from Davis' first few attempts to make a friend. Oh well, I had always assumed it was better for my vision. "Say what? A beach, AND a CAVE? Who was ignorant enough to leave that out?" I questioned, my voice growing more excited as I reached my final few words of my question. Despite this, the mission itself seemed... suspicious, in a way. It was as if it was just placed there for our eyes only. Literally.

That's what happens, however. At least to the assumptions of brains. Always a feeling of paranoia in first assignments. Naturally, it's not exactly anyone's fault. Probably curiosity's, as it often conflicted with the fear of the unknown.

You mean how you started the whole deal by accidentally switching Arnold for Wally?

Get posting. By the time you finish, I would've edited some time ago.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Void

I'm not editing. I will not edit for reasons clearly stated.

Plus, I'm in that mood where I'm about to have a breakdown again (despite my seemingly peaceful day at school), so...

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Void

At this point, I assume he's dead for the time being.

Either that, or his rash/headache/some other serious medical problem has returned again...

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Void

Well, if you need me, I'll be at an expo for a while.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Void

Well, there seems to be a distinct lack of IC posts today.

"Just call me 'M.'" I requested to Spruce, who was apparently not mindful of me not giving my name; he left after calling me 'um... you.' "I can't be bothered giving my name around these days." I explained, a rather slack reason being my only foothold here. I followed Spruce out the now-messy room of blankets, passing through doors of the hallway before ending up in the most crowded place I had ever known; the lobby. Yesterday, it was quite empty, because it was getting late and Pokemon left to their own homes/went to bed early. Now... well, let's just say the crowds formed at my community were hostile. If they were that size, only Arceus would know what would happen.

Of course, I couldn't I think straight. The sudden heat that had developed overnight was getting me to slur my sentences slightly. "I believe I joined yesterday." I answered again to Spruce, who was busy trying to find a feasible mission that was also available. Celes seemed like herself, convincing two Pokemon to end their bickering and choose a different side (awkwardly, if you could observe closely). Otherwise...

"What the hell is Arnold doing? If anything, my friend Davis explained how it was a better weapon than a mirror."

Day had come so suddenly for me. I closed my eyelid for about a minute or something, the sun rose and smacked me in the face for it. "No... sun, please. My reflective body makes my eyes more painful than they already are." I groaned, tumbling around the corner of the light-brown wall. Sooner or later, I'd have to get some sunglasses with only one lens. Or three, depending if I evolved or not. The glare of the sun seemed to target only me, thinking I was eye-candy. Obviously, this was contrary to my own perception of the sun. So, I rolled up the wall and pushed myself towards the window. before showing off by doing some sort of improvised, acrobatic move mid-air. Thankfully, the window panes were strong enough to let me bounce off, although the fact I was traveling in the opposite direction forced me to grab onto the worn, crimson curtains.

To my relief, they didn't rip. Not shoddy, I guess... After regaining my control magnetism, I swiped the curtains to the left, letting only about a centimeter of sun through the edges of the windows. "Finally..." I sighed to myself, floating out the room and... well, it appeared someone else had gotten up earlier than I had. Curious, I decided to observe the bed.

...what the hell was I doing, observing a bed? Nothing moved, that's all. I wasted 10 seconds of my life before whizzing off towards the hallway to salvage some of that time. Now, the wide hallway had the occasional morning birds. moving around and beginning their work. From boring bureaucratic stuff to preparing for their adventures. I veered out the way of a Beldum, because he narrowly missed me as a rocket. "Watch it!" I warned, before getting knocked into the wall by a tail. Then, five other tails.

"You watch it!" A bit of warmth covered me, because that Pokemon happened to be a Ninetails. I made a face to up-right tails before leaving the hallway rather quickly, exiting to...

...somewhere. I had to go back to our room because I had little idea what I was supposed to be doing. See? Now you understand why I can't be bothered finding Davis?

There was something off about Celes. She explained her daunting experience to me, but I felt as if there was something more to it. There were parallel bits to my own experiences, but otherwise I couldn't put my finger on it. (Parallel, as in we were both threatened, could pick up stuff from a distance... not so parallel, as in I was involved with an entire community, whereas she was involved with a family. You've also got the 'pick up stuff' bit, which I cannot be bothered to explain.) "Well... er, seeya then." Attempt to make friends: inconclusive. Didn't seem rejected, didn't seem accepted. I let the thought of that drift away as I followed her to our rooms, staying out in the hallway and clinging onto a wooden wall of planks.

I didn't have anyone to be with, after all... of course, that statement would've been true, had I not stalked that Turtwig. I grinned to myself, as I entered the room where my 'teammates' slept. After all, I never really officially joined, because I never said 'yes, I'll join' or 'no, I'll leave.' But, despite this (and my tendency not to give answers to such questions due to a sense of awkwardness), I felt as if I was home. I carefully lay down by the wall of the room, shutting my eyelids as if today was my last.

Davis, you bloody friend... The only thing I could remember from my dream were those four words.
