>"You just love to put it so crudely. Very direct & to the point."
>Audrey's heart isn't weak enough to get embarrassed by such commentary, but it's definitely not her style. Hearing her say it with that polite voice of hers is surreal. Even with Evelyn's natural flow, the audino's voice makes it sound really forced, like she's trying really hard to impress someone.

>"I'm not! I've done it a few times. My friend needed nude models for her art studies. It was pretty convenient since it was laundry day."
>Audrey would cross her arms & pout if she could.
>This pose is just as cute, though. Unintentional or not.
>"It's weird feeling my hair so long. It hasn't gotten this way in a while. I kept it reasonable & professional for most of my life."

>With Evelyn's permission, she guides her through the next step.
>"Okay, go over to the corner where the wall & the shelf meet. You can probably fit your hand between the gap, right?"
>A weird direction, but should Evelyn follow it...
>"You're not strong enough to push the shelf over, but if you *were*, you'd be able to slip through, right?"
>There is a slight tingling, like static electricity in Evelyn's fingertips as she listens. It's energy being released, pokemon magic & all that. But it isn't an attack?
>"Just imagine you're squeezing through the gap & no one is looking. It doesn't matter how you look on the outside because nobody's there. It's kind of like... how you phase through things sometimes. Do that & wait..."

>With warning given out, the Weavile returns to the hallway in search of a...Mimikyu? He's never heard nor seen one before, but takes what Fly said seriously. Though how is he supposed know if he has his thing on or not? Maybe he'll spot something while looking for Oren.
>Looking over towards the doors that look like that have electricity or something running over them, he contemplates how he's gonna find him when an idea strikes.
>Closing his eyes, he focuses his senses on his hearing to hear if any of them are making any noises inside.

>But then, he hears a *thump thump* coming from downstairs.

>>84071634
>For a brief second he wondered if maybe the Spinda returned, but dismisses that thought. With that injury there was no chance they'd be able to win a fight with him.
>Heading back downstairs he makes sure to still avoid the pressure plates, as he tries to pinpoint which room the noises are coming from, while also looking around for anything that could look like Oren's costume.

>There's a smell of smoke?
>Inside the gallery are scraps of fabric, and a black tentacle with a band around it, and inky black liquid leaking out.
>Peeking into the hallway, there's fire coming from the kitchen... and it's spread pretty fast around the first floor.
>It seems when Silve is dealt a bad hand, she's the kinda gal to burn the entire deck.

>Raider laughed
But Ignis! Murrica!
>To Raoul, he just smirked knowingly
>Ivy however looked confused for a moment before becoming elated
>"You think I'm cool!?"
>She looks like she wants to hug Raoul, but just barely is able to hold herself back
>She's a passionate little thing!
>Lulu however isn't feeling it anymore and drags her hooves as she walks
"Can we not talk about this anymore. I just want to get this over and done with..."
>Hopefully seeing Ratchet alive will cheer her up
>Tilly looked relieved to hear that she won't be getting any more nominations
>Rowan looks a little proud of himself before shooting Lulu a dirty look
>"Its only natural. Unlike SOME people, we are good responsible adults here, shrooms notwithstanding. That sounds like a good plan to me. I don't particularly like fighting so hopefully I don't get dragged into the brawl."
>The stairs come to an end and the hallway extends a few more paces
>As Raoul looks down at the TM that was handed to him
>The TM almost felt warm as he held it and looking at it, he could see a number etched into it "118"
>Raider looks at it curiously while bobbing his head to the tune sent to him
Do you know what move it is? I don't have my TM guide with me so I don't know what number means what move.
>Ivy was excited to show Raoul around her home
It'll be fine! I bet the elders will make you honorary denizens after you guys save the dungeon! Come on, lets go get some food!
>Ivy darts forward, leading the other kids back to their home, which Rowan and Tilly are happy to allow
>It was safe here
>Rowan sighs and follows the kids in
>"Man I'm gonna get yelled at for this..."
>Tilly laughs at Ignis's question
The elders know I would never do anything to hurt our home, plus, even if they did throw a fit, its not like anyone here would even even think to try and stop me. I don't really like bragging, but they weren't lying when they said I'm the strongest person in the dungeon.

>>84072428
>After a few minutes, Rowan returned
>"Okay so the elders threw a fit, but they say that they will allow them to come in. Sorry Tilly, I had to drop your name a few times to get them to play along."
>Tilly groaned at that
>"Great... Now they're going to annoy me for the next week... Oh well, we got shit to do today that can't wait! Come along, we're good to go."
>Tilly lead the group into the dungeon's common room and it was actually quite lovely!
It was a room full of life and even in the current state of things, the dungeon supplied a constant pleasant sunlight for all to enjoy
>There was a pristine pond of crystal clear water and plants full of ripe fruit
>A Leafeon could be seen leading her kids to a bush fully of berries and as the Vees ate, the berries actively regrew as they ate them
>"Scuse me for a second..."
>Tilly walked off to offer the fallen Amoongus to another that just happened to be in the room with their kids
>Rowan turned to speak to the group but before he could, a Leavanny burst out and scooped up Raider into a tight hug before attempting to do the same to Ignis
>"You're the ones that saved the kids, right?! Thank you so much! I can never repay you for what you did, but if you need anything ANYTHING at all, you just tell me. Just because some of our elders aren't happy, doesn't mean that you aren't welcome!"
>Rowan looked annoyed
>"Lilly, please. If you really want to do them a favor, you'll get them something to eat. A few of them got killed saving the kids and they only had tiny revivers."
>The Leavanny freaked!
>"OH YOU POOR BABIES! Let Mama! feed you! Come along now! I'll take you right to the pantry. You can eat as much and whatever you want!"
>She turned to lead them to the promised food
(If you want to explore before eating, feel free to, she won't take offense.)
(If you notice anything in the map, feel free to point it out and have your character ask about it, there are a couple hidden things that could lead to extra goodies.)

>Skunks may be kinda cute, but Stunky are just stinky little buttheads!
<Blegh, if you say so. Won't catch me coming near one though.>
>They say that Sharks can smell a drop of blood from a mile away and while that is a bit of an exaggeration, Luke certainly can sniff with the best of them!
<Oh, that's awful. Well I can certainly let you guys borrow my nose for a bit. I just hope you have some way of letting me get a sample of her scent. Clothes, shoes, blood, really anything will do so long as it's relatively fresh.>
>But moooom, I hate the pouch!
<Its less messy than whole corpses, but yeah, some of this stuff sounds awesome! You ever had Squid in its own ink?>
>Having already sat down, Luke was already enviously eyeing Mewt and Zed's stuff
<Yeah, my old backpack from the old world. I used to wear it backwards on my chest cause my fin got in the way, but the straps started to get shredded by my scales.>
>>84034809
Yes please, Mister guildmaster.
>After helping Cato join the tables, Luke curled up on the floor at the end of the table
>As the waitstaff brought out the orders, Luke decided to go ahead and order the Squid Ink "Malamari" with some extra bread on the side
(That's a good one, I love it! Haha!)
If you guys want to try something nice, you can have a bite of my stuff when it shows up.
>Hopefully Luke doesn't get in the waiters' way as they run around helping other customers
Oh man, I haven't had cooked food in... I don't even know how long! I hope the sauce is as good as the stuff back home.

>>84072193
>The fire that's currently spreading around certainly wasn't there when he first came in. Must have been a parting gift from the Spinda, trying to cover up what happened here, or maybe even try to kill whoever is trapped inside. He'll need to hurry.
>Black tentacle poking out from the middle of the floor with a band wrapped around it, and shreds of fabric all around? Must be Oren then. Fly warned against looking directly at them, but it should be fine for at least that small part of them, yeah?
>Running up to the tentacle, he stares at the silver band, wondering how hard this'll end up being.
Oren, i'm a friend of Fly and i'm here to help. I need you to keep that tentacle steady please.
>Reaching out, he'll attempt to simply pull it off, but if that doesn't work he'll give a quick apology to Oren before using Icy Breath to freeze the band to make it brittle to break.

>>84072598
>When the Weavile goes to pull the band off the tentacle, instead of the band coming off, the whole tentacle lifts up. It seems like it's been severed.
>Another *thump*.
>When the Weavile peeks into the hall again, he sees the closest crate bang against a wall. A few tentacles peek out from the bottom, and more inky black liquid leaks from it.
>Hearing the Weavile's voice, Oren responds.
S-she tore up my costume... I'm under the box.
>His voice travels ethereally into the Weavile's mind.
Is Fly okay? I- I can't see anything.

>Yuki continued to watch Carrie zip to and fro with an amused smile on her face
You think? I thought she was more confident than this.
>Luke was pretty firm and tone for a human, but next to a dragon, yeah, squishy was the right word
Haha~ Maybe, but he was always so good to me, even when we were kids so that kinda made up for it.
>Oh they definitely were...
>Yuki pouted a little
Hey I turned my fair share of heads too, but yeah, she was the pretty one on the team. Well, other than Char... Hehe~
>Yuki playfully growed at Dino
You better not if you know whats good for you!
>If he's kinda hot as a human, wait till she sees him now
You know it! Though his scars as a human were more from fights than anything else. He tended to get way to close when he lead us in battle. He took an attack or two over the years. Had a few near death experiences too.
>After saying that, Yuki suddenly visibly paled
F-Fen, I just got a really bad feeling... Like something terrible just happened... I feel angry... really really angry and I don't know why...
>The room began to chill, her wisp form shifted from the normal purply color of his other wisps to a cold icy blue
>A deep menacing growl escaped her and lasted a long time before she started to calm
>She was taking deep controlled breaths trying to calm herself
Fen... Where's Fly? Wasn't she sleeping here when we left?

>>84072598
>The severed tentacle has him freak out for a moment, though a thump sound snaps him back to reality and has him investigate a nearby box in the hallway.
>A voice coming out from it confirms the presence of Oren. It's also leaking more of that black fluid...is that his blood? They were gonna need a medic regardless.
>It's pretty spooky hearing a voice that sounds like it's coming from inside your own head, but he tries to roll with it.
I wouldn't say she's alright, but she's free from containment now. I left her upstairs to recover while I came looking for you. Anyways, I was warned about avoiding looking at you directly, and you'll need this more then me right now.
>Taking off his cloak he sets it next to the box, not caring if it gets more blood on it. It'll need a wash anyways to remove the blood that had splattered from slashing the Spinda's eye out.
I'm leaving my cloak here for you to use, I gotta get going back upstairs to get Fly, make sure to hurry as this place is starting to burn down.
>The Weavile rushes back upstairs to where to he left Fly. While Oren makes use of the cloak, he'll notice an orb in an inner pocket, having been pick-pocketed in the fight earlier.

"She's weird. She weirds me out. Her doing weird things is in character in my humble opinion"
>Something about Carrie is off to Dino, even if she's funny
"Bah, yer plenty tough enough, so yer man has plenty room to be a squishy if he knows how to be a proper mate"
>Of course, seeing Luke now would make Dino drool
"Bwahaha! Oh I bet ya did hot stuff, no doubt in my mind~"

"I'm not known for makin good decisions..."
>Sometimes the most fun options are the dumbest, worst choices
>And those are the ones Dino lived for
>...Probably why she died
"Is that unusual or somethin? I know he was bossin ya around and watching the field for ya, but I figured he at least threw some punches and stuff"

>Dino pauses and cocks her head as she watches that switch in Yuki's mind flip
"Uh, you good?"
>Fen picks it up too and starts to worry
B-bad feeling? What d-do you mean? I don't feel anything weird...
>But he might be getting a bad feeling too if Yuki is all of the sudden this worked up
>Especially when she starts that threatening growl! Fen scurries away and hides behind the straw pile, only peeking around when she stops
F-F-Fly? I thought uhm, m-maybe she and Oren w-went out into t-t-town to explore while w-we were gone. Its been a while!
>He's starting to really stress now
W-why do you ask?
>Dino, for her part, has been scowling the entire time
"You think something's up? Trust yer gut, we don't know anything about this town all that much, could be more dangerous than we thought..."

>>84073086
>Oren waits for the Weavile to go upstairs before he climbs out from the crate and throws the cloak over him.
>As the Weavile goes upstairs, Oren again projects his voice.
You really need to hurry. I-I'll see if I can open some windows but... you two are g-going to be susceptible to smoke inhalation before the fire becomes a serious issue...

W-Weavile! What's happening?! I smell fire!

>Her blood runs cold
Oren! Where are you!?
>Fly sees that the room to the orb pit is blocked off again
>No more help there
>Fly's not strong enough to dragon rush through a wall again
>This looks bad...
>Then she smells something else
>Something metallic... Blood and not blood that belongs to Silve...
>She wobbles to the stairs and tumbles down them unfortunately meeting weavile as he climbed up
>Upon landing at the bottom she sees the banded and severed tentacle...
Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!
>Tears well up in her eyes again
O-Oren! No...
>She begins to feel like maybe she doesn't deserve to be rescued...
O-Oren...

>>84074037
>>84074746
>Having barely reached the halfway mark, he stops to respnd to Oren, but doesn't manage to before the sound and sight of Fly tumbling down the stairs alarms him. She ends up going down too fast for him to catch, wincing as she lands at the bottom and begins crying out for Oren.
>Rushing back down he scoops he up into his chest, the now uncloaked-fur getting soaked in her tears.
Hey, calm down there Fly, he's alright. I found him hiding himself under a box. He's injured yes, but he'll live. The same can't be said about his...whatever it was, but i'm letting him borrow my cloak in the meantime.
>He really wish she'd have stayed up there, at least until he was able to tell her this so she didn't have to fall headfirst down a flight of stairs. His inner big brother in him is trying it's best to come up with a way to comfort her, but now isn't the best time.
Listen, this place is going up in flames, which means we need to leave right now. Oren should be covered up by now, so let's go.
>Thinking that's she's too injured to walk right now, he hoists her up into his arms to carry her, Unlike with Vex before, the Weavile isn't nearly as tall leaving it very awkward for the both of them, but necessary to move on.
>The Weavile-now carrying Fly- steps into the hallway, looking for where Oren is. Hopefully at an exit...

Hey Luke! Thanks for giving us a hand earlier. Come take a load off and have some food.

>Mewts follows shortly after

>Zed hands Cato, and Lilith the Menu's from him and Mewt to pass about
>The Dolliv takes Luke, Cato and Lilith's orders

Seems like the seas around here are quite bountiful.
>Malamari sounds pretty excessive though, remembering how big the one they saw back in Oasis was, though he was sure Luke wouldn't have trouble
>The dreepy hitching a ride within Cato hasn't made herself known yet, but there's plenty for her too

>The spread before everyone is as follows
>greek grilled cheese, pita bread, tzatziki, grilled fearow, what are effectively wedges with greek herbs and olive oil, and this watmel berry and feta with onion thing.

Oh man, I wonder if they have chicken salt.

Hope so. Our guild members have been going through some harrowing dungeons lately and making it out the other end though.

Oh you're coming surfing for sure!

It would be a little unbecoming, but I am a big fuzzy monster now. I think the bloke downstairs was just tryna be friendly back

Well I could just illusion us off.. But we're still on a bumpy cart, might be hazardous

<Sure, sure. Rowly it is forevermore, then.>
>Uh oh
>Meanwhile, Lulu's clear sadness has Ignis sigh, but she nods
Right. Let's move on then.
>She can only hope. ...And hope that Ratchet goes along with what they tell him, she doesn't really know anything about what he's like.
>Tilly's laugh slightly surprises Ignis, then she nods
Elders huh? Well if you're sure. I believe it, you were fast enough to save Raoul from his own plan after all.

Sorry guys.
>With that, she follows them into the common room
>Ignis can't help but stop and take it all in. It's actually quite nice! The sunlight really helps combat the strange atmosphere of the dungeon in general
Wow... this place is actually really nice!

>Ignis freezes, staring in shock at the sudden Leavanny
>Once she realizes what's happening she smirks at Raider trapped in the hug
Well, uh, thanks! Just glad they're alright.
>And then she's trying to lead them to food. Well, she is hungry...
Definitely, but I gotta admit I kinda wanna take a quick look around first if that's alright
>But the place was also pretty interesting, she can see a group of strong looking pokemon on the other end of the room. Looks like there's a Shiinotic among them...
Are those the elders?
>She nods in their direction
>Speaking of, from her position by the pond, Ignis may just catch sight of that Morelull peeking around a corner down in the back
>Maybe it's the one she saved earlier? She can't exactly tell them apart. She looks at the rest of her group, curious if any of them noticed too

>....if Jack was in a culinary high before, then now he must be in culinary heaven.
>Everything that was so good about the slice of meat in his mouth was ramped up to a new level beyond anything a normal chef would be capable of. It had to have been some form of magic at this point, and that magic came in the form of Starf berries.

>Jack's been silent long enough for Vex to look at him with a small amount of concern.
Dude, you alright there? Is that stuff actually that good?
>Vex had been using some of his own sauce on his meat, though it's less adding to the flavor of the fish as he'd thought it would, but still just as good. He'll have to stick with using it for the usual kinds of red meats, and look out for something else to go with fish.

Ahaha...ha....whew! Jeez, that caught me off-guard. Fuck, you got me good there Jack.

>Dit is understandably still weirded out by the bizarre berry sauce, but with such a "glamorous" reaction from Jack, Vex can't help but want to give it a go himself. Reaching over and taking the bottle himself, he too spreads some out onto the remainder of his current chunk of fish flesh, watching with fascination as it repeats it's earlier feat.

Oh, I think I remember snagging that from the Spinda when she hit me earlier. I barely even noticed when I did that, old instincts and all that.

(Heya Samba! Super happy to see you back! Ignis is actually in a dungeon adventure with Raoul at the moment. I'm running the adventure so if you want to get caught up, you can read the posts from Raider to see what the heck is happening. It happens to be the grass type dungeon, so you could totally be there, but I'll have to come up with an explanation for why you showed up in this particular part of the dungeon. (Which is absolutely no problem at all! Heck your character could be a denizen of this dungeon if you want.) Do you want to join in the adventure proper or just pop in and get chased out for lols after talking with Ignis?)

>>84094517
>audrey/evelyn after jack finds them

>>84103357
(Hi Raider, I felt like trying this again. I could get chased out no problem. Samba is always looking of big sources of water for reasons, and fresh underground water is better than salty Oasis water. Maybe she was following from behind them or through some unknown passage.)

>>84104239
(Yeah that's what I was thinking. She could sense the pure groundwatery goodness with her cactus powers and decided to follow them in after Rowan opened the way into the denizen area. I usually don't post until after Raoul and Ignis both have posted though so you have plenty of time to chit chat with Ignis if you want! I was a little bummed when you disappeared so I'm glad you're giving it another try! Samba seems like a fun goofball character to interact with.)

>>84104563
(That works, don’t let me hold you back or anything, I just remembered Ignis was interested in the cactus the first time I posted. Sorry for worrying, I got distracted by things here and there. She really is, I love comedic characters and Maractus is peak funny pokemon.)

That usually depends on what kind of TM you have. I’m not sure how you use disks here, though. Doubt they have a CD player for that lying around. Nor a screen or telly for that matter.

I- I think that's our best bet if we want to save them.
>Oren looks over at one of the statues, trying to gauge how heavy it will be to carry.
>He looks to the Weavile.
You go throw the orb at the door, and maybe try and do something about the fire around it.
We'll each pick one up and carry them out, r-right Fly?

>Samba looks the same direction and sees that Lurantis, can’t be that strong
“Got it, so you only eat babies, some fine appetite that you have eeeh!”
>She points to the round Charizard belly
“Quite the successful hunter!”
>Luckily Samba can’t talk so She is safe for now, happy maracas for everyone. All Maractus have maracas in their arms.
>And she can’t stop shaking them, the rhythm lives inside her forever, a bundle of joy}
>She puts her arms behind her and gently sway back and forth. Looking cute wanting to manipulate the big charizard.
“I could if you also come here often, why did you come down here? I am sure you can come back down again.”
>She stops dancing for a second, digging the memories out of her brain, the thousand-yard stare penetrates beyond Ignis
“Ho right! you really scared me that time, I thought you’d eat me for sure”
>She swings her right arm
“That’s why I smacked that small dick Poochenya, him instead of me!”

>The dragon sputters, staring in shock at Samba. Did she hear her right?
What?! No! Okay, rephrasing that. I don't want to eat anything that has the capacity for intelligent thought!
>She puts a claw on her round belly with a slight blush
I do not hunt, I just look like this!
>A more tempermental dragon may have eaten Samba for her insolence, but Ignis is nicer than that!
>If Ignis ever wants maraca or belly dancing lessons, she knows who to call
>Samba certainly looks cute like that, it remains to be seen if it'll have an effect on Ignis beyond her idly thinking that Samba is cute... and also kinda dumb. The dancing probably has nothing to do with that last part.
I mean... maybe if we get more requests here. I came here on a guild job to rescue a Miltank that got lost down here, it uh, got more complicated than that but we'll deal with it soon enough.
>Those cactus eyes can see across the entire desert if she wants them to
>Ignis's expression goes from amusement to shock as Samba mimics the smack she delivered to the poor Poochyena
>...She can't help a half surprised, half amused snort
Seriously? Well you'll be glad to know I don't plan on eating you, and I didn't eat him either.
>Looking over Samba's body, she points out the yellow spikes
Besides, even if I was the kind of dragon to just randomly eat pokemon, a cactus pokemon has to be the worst choice. I'd get a mouth full of spines on the first bite, no thanks!

I don't know... He called us fuckers and idiots, yet went and gave you a cute little pet name. I'd say that's a little bit suspect...
>Raider was dragged away before he could hear her response so It would remain a mystery...
>Tilly watched her catch the TM
Oh, got yourself a little prize, eh? Nice! If you want to use it, just press it to your head and take in the knowledge.
>Rowan was happy to educate Ignis on the superiority of his dungeon
Well, our dungeon makes the best food, has the cleanest air, and has the cleanest water! Its only natural for the grass dungeon to be the most prosperous and healthy place to live! Even injured, OUR dungeon is still provides for all of us!
>Lulu narrowed her eyes at him for that jab
The Fairy Dungeon was better...
>Rowan smirked at her
"Was..."
>She glared at him before marching away to follow Raider and the Leavanny
>That stung the little pony
>After laughing a bit Rowan followed her, he was hungry too after all
>Tilly sighed having watched the whole thing
He wasn't always an asshole, just so you know... Anyway, feel free to hang out here for as long as you need. I'm gonna soak up some sun while I can. Don't mind the locals. We're a calm bunch.

Woah, Lulu, check it out!
>He bolted forward, hopping right over a Hoppip to grab the biggest apple he could find and start munching on it before moving on to an Oren berry
>Lulu did the same, save for the enthusiasm, choosing to simply lay down in front of the pile of stuff
>Ignis was acknowledged by the little smroomlet with a little flash from her caps
>She didn't approach, but she didn't seem to be afraid of her anymore either
>Knowing that Ignis was on their side probably helped her confidence

I haven't seen you before. You must be a new denizen! Whats your name?

“You certainly have the appearance of a fearsome baby hunter”
>It was a compliment! Can’t get angry at a compliment!
>Where would Ignis get her Maracas tho? There is only 1 pair here, and it’s attached to Samba.
>Samba’s can’t help herself, the dancing lives inside her
>She looks around and doesn’t see any Milktank, sooo
“Requests, right, Good luck Ignis, I’m sure you’ll find her, eventually. A FAT mon can’t be easy to miss”
>Samba has wide hips/base and her music, she isn’t a fit or stealthy pokemon.
>Her eyes go wide, and arms lift above her head, happy that Ignis is too dumb to know the spikes can be removed
>She starts dancing around the bucket attracting the attention of all the plant pokemons around
“That’s right Ignis, these spines go deep inside my body, they cannot be removed, they don’t hold a juicy, tasty sweet green meat that every pokemon in the desert wants!”
>Her dance eventually stops when she is addressed directly, she totally forgot she was sneaking in here!
“I’m SAMBA, I’m huuuuu”
>She looks jumps off the bucket and holds it. Looks at Ignis, bucket, Ignis, water, Ignis, bucket
“Ignis’ wwwwaaater girl! That’s right, Miss Ignis, gets thirsty from breathing so much fire. My work is to carry water for her!”
>She grabs her bucket tries to fill it before the lie is discovered.

>Back to Raoul and Tilly, she stares at the disc curiously as they explain.
Huh, so I just...
>Pressing the disc against her head, she prepares for an influx of knowledge
>And then, to Rowan
Hmm. How many dungeons have you been to?
>But then Lulu and Rowan bicker
>She can only watch sadly as Lulu marches away, it's not really her place to tell Rowan off for that one.
>Ignis shrugs in response to Tilly
It's hard to blame him, considering what Lulu's friend did. Still, I'd rather she stay in a good mood for obvious reasons. But yeah, noted. Thanks again Tilly.
>Suddenly flower! Ignis blinks. She... didn't know Lurantis could do that. The more you know.
>Ignis is glad she isn't afraid anymore, that's progress!
>Meanwhile...

>Ignis raises an eyebrow
You, uh, know enough of them to compare?
>She's most definitely not taking that as a compliment! She just thinks Samba is a little crazy from living alone in the desert, probably
>She'd have to find her own... somewhere. Probably not anytime soon
>Her dancing spreads joy and whimsy to all around her
Now that's just rude! But thanks, we'll find her I'm sure.
>It's a wonder how she managed to sneak into Oasis all this time
>Ignis stares at Samba for a minute
That sounds like there is "juicy, tasty sweet green meat" if I remove the spines. You gotta work on your deception skills, Samba.
>And then,a crowd gathered! Ignis smirks down at the cactus
Looks like you've got fans!
>She blinks in surprise looking at the bucket, then Samba, then the denizens gathered around
Uhh... I don't need someone bringing me water.
>Ignis watches in mild amusement as Samba scrambles to fill the bucket
Honestly, I'm pretty sure she's harmless. The dungeon refills the water, right? That's all Samba's after as far as I can tell.

maybe a little too much pleasure...
Anyhow, that's some crazy sauce. I think could eat a few more cuts with that!

Wait, those things were once living breathing people? Shit, now I really feel like I should have hunted that bastard down.
>Any say in what they should do with them was immediately outvoted and they're already talking about "saving" them, as if there's a way to bring them back from the grim fate that befell them.
>He'd argue against it, but there's no luxury of time for it, so with a sigh and Fly decided hopping off his arms he concedes.
Alright, fine, i'll help out with this madness. But we seriously need to be quick with this.
>Taking the orb from Oren, he rushes into the hallway, looking at the door that stands between them and the outside, and the fire inbetween. Taking a deep breath, he blows an Icy Breath, killing off a large swath of flames that blocked the way.
>Rushing towards the door he chucks the orb at the barrier, shattering it as the orb does it's job. Then with a shoulder charge he smashes the old door to pieces, letting the outside cold air come in. Even this late, it's still chilly from the snow covered town.
>Job done, he rushes back to grab a hold of the Ledian statue, which is quite heavy despite it's usual typing making it pretty light. After getting it properly settled into his arms, he marches back out with it, slowed due to the weight.

>When she looks at him all panics and in tears, he can't help but sigh again, knowing he's agreeing to something more dangerous then what he was just doing.
I'll try to find it. You two focus on getting this last one out, i'll be as quick as I can!
>This calls for more speed, so with a shimmer his body starts making after images as he abandons civility to run on all fours, claws digging into wood as he practically flies up the stairs.
>Withe the other doors still blocked off there's only one place it could possibly be at. Entering the room Fly was previously held victim at, he tears the room apart searching for anything that either looks like a bell or could possible contain it.

>With Oren missing a limb, even the two of them together this was a difficult task, but with some straining, the Leafeon lifts up off the ground
G-Go slow, Oren. I can barely hold this end up...
>Entering the room that Fly was traped in, Weavile managed to pinpoint the bell, but with the smoke, he had a hard time finding her bag
(If this post end in 0-4 Weavile finds Oren's badge, but can't find the bag before he is forced to head back downstairs due to smoke 5-9 and he finds both. Dubs or better and he manages to find all the items Fly had stored in her bag too.)

Ow! The heck did I..?
>Looking down is an out of place object, some kind of badge? Whatever it was, he decides to pick it up too, in case any of the others owned it or something.

>Coming down from the tasty high after having finished his bite, Vex looks over to Jack, briefly brought down by the way he's fidgeting in place. Almost as if....
....you know, I really should have expected that to have been a bit more literal. Just keep that shit hidden, I don't want us thrown out. And don't use up all that stuff, damn greedy man.
>Still, it's hard to resist wanting to horde such a thing for himself, but he reigns himself in to eat with some dignity. Once Jack finishes using the sauce on more fish meat, he does the same himself though to a lesser extent.
>Before he digs in again he hears Dit saying he'll pass on the sauce, which gets a curious look from him before he shrugs.
If your sure about that.
>After the first taste of the sauce it's not nearly as smack-you-in-the-face flavorful, but still just as delicious. In the middle of having another big piece, Vex is reminded of something from his human past. Finishing his latest piece first he then speaks up.
Y'know, this sorta reminds me of my dad's cooking back when I was young. Might just be nostalgia speaking, but to me he was an amazing cook as I always found whatever he made to be delicious. It isn't exactly the same as we never really had fish but I remember reaching similar highs back then....
>While they were talking a waiter came by and refilled Jack's nomelade before moving elsewhere.
