Dawn had just struck Mystfall and the town as already bustling, pokemon heading to work or to shop, it varied from pokemon to pokemon, but this was normal here in the most populated town of Lotus. The loud bell of the towering Guild Hall rings to awaken all within and prepare them for the day ahead, preparing to work hard and complete missions. The Bell's ring snaps Mienshao out of her daze as she lays out breakfast for those staying. Virgil finally returning from his trip after a week away with new oddities. The sky was clear, everything seems perfect in Lotus this day.

Rosalina puffed up, in a manner not unlike someone taking a deep breath, as she took in the sun on her leaves and listened to the resounding bell in the distance. Today was the day she'd planned to apply to the guild, and she was more than just a little nervous. After a moment to calm herself as best she could, the young petilil took off towards the hall, leaving the inn, where many of her things remained, behind her.
She weaved through any crowds she encountered with no lack of energy. She'd dreamed of this day for years, and her excitement grew with every step towards the towering structure ahead of her.

Vim yawned as the sun finally managed to makes it's way into her eyes, no mean feat as she'd nearly been smothered in blankets. She hops up and stretches. The GuildMaster had told her to keep out of trouble for the umpteenth time the day before, maybe today she would listen. Or maybe trouble would find her like usual.
A quick and messy breakfast later finds her ready to set out. I'll stop by the Inn. Always something happening there. With her course decided, she practically sprints out of the GuildHouse. And runs into a Petilil that had just arrived. She ends up going head over paws, tumbling to the ground. "oof!Sorry about that but you should really watch where you're going." Vim still had some way to go on her courtesy.
She rights herself and looks at the grass type curiously. "So what brings you here?" Vim asks with genuine interest. And not a predatory look....mostly.

"Wh-aah!" Rosalina rolled onto her back as the Shinx crashed into her, and rolled beyond. She had been so focused on the guild ahead of her, she hadn't even seen this newcomer sprint straight into her. For a moment, she stared at the cloud of sleep powder spores she'd sent flying into the air--which seemed to get scattered enough by the breeze to be ineffective--in surprise, totally stunned.
She soon sat herself up, before realizing what had been said to her. "O-Oh! I'm sorry! I guess I got a little lost in thought, there." Rosalina began to pat herself off, turning her head towards the Shinx. "I-I was on my way to the guild. But, never mind that, are you OK?" she asked, concerned for the electric type who'd just taken a tumble, while she adjusted her bandana.

Surveying the town, in all its bustle and glory, Marcello was unnaturally quiet. It was less because he was figuring his way around the town, and more because he was finally here, in Mystfall! His silence didn't last long, and soon enough says, " Here we are at last, Jack! Mystfall, easily the most famous city in the world. Why, I suspect even the lowest Trapinch, hidden in his hole, could tell you something about this legendary place!" After pausing for effect, Marcello continues, asking, " So... anywhere you'd like to go first? I think I can smell a restaurant, and they're sure to have foo- people who need our expertise." Spending an AP to archive the city of Mystfall. |

Please read this spoiler before continuing the rest of the thread
The inclusion of Jack the Magical Nidoran Girl turns this game into a PG-13 Rating for coarse language. If you are under the age of 13 or are opposed to obscenities , please do not read this thread. Thank you
The nidoran sniffed at the air, but couldn't find a whiff of whatever the claptrap was sniffing. Which was a shame, as her stomach was threatening revolution. To call Mystfall he biggest city felt like an insult to Celadon, or pretty much anywhere from her homeland of Unova. The nidoran female would have giggled at how quaint it was, however they were buildings meant to accommodate things much bigger than her, so those quaint "little" buildings felt massive to her. " In case you haven't noticed, Claptrap, I'm flat broke, so unless you feel like buying me a burger, I don't see much point in going to a restaurant. I'd rather keep an eye out for someone who might be able to figure out what the hell happened to me.". Jack frowned more than she already was. She remembered all too well what happened last time she tried to eat meat, and silently mourned her old life as a carnivore. She knew that Marc was just almost as hungry as she was, but he at least was able to grab a bite before they were run out of town. " Ah, fuck it, let's get your grub on. Actually, maybe we should find an inn. Any hotel worth its salt will at least have some sort of eatery." |

"You didn't strike me as the type to work for free! I can't imagine why they ran such a selfless duo as us out of town... Ah, well.", Marcello said enthusiastically, "This city is rather amazing, you know. I would be more surprised if we couldn't find someone to help you!"
His 'encouragement' given, he plods off down the hill, in pursuit of food. Especially if that food was provided by an inn!

Jack just shook her head as the Trapinch walked on. "Jackass." he street punk respected her new friend's power and courage, but never ceased to be amazed at his density. It didn't take much for the Nidoran to catch up with her rube pal, and it took even less for them to find an inn, the door blocked by two thoroughly embarrassed pokemon, some blue cat looking thing, and the most delicious walking salad Jack wouldn't admit she wanted to eat.

The Shinx tilted her head the other way and gave an odd little hop. "What are you going to the Guild for?" Vim asks curiously looking Petilil over again. The Petilil didn't look so bad off but Mon didn't just casually come to the Guild Hall. "Did you need help with something? I can help." She bounces trying to show off the pin on her bandana. "Which way are we going!" She doesn't mention the fact that she isn't really supposed to go on missions by herself either.

Marcello eyes the two new Pokemon, then asks hurriedly, "Hello, friends. Apologies for the intrusion, but might I ask that you step aside? My companion and I are in absolutely desperate need of food, and the aroma within appears too tempting to overcome."

From the Guildtower arrives two figures, both wearing scarves with the guild logo, a Ralts and an Abra. They take a moment to look at each person and sigh. "Is something the matter?" The Ralts asks calmly, seeing the mess of two pokemon and the two that are just arriving. "Shinx, I thought the Guildmaster told you to stay out of trouble?" The Abra then says jokingly, to which the Ralts smacks him lightly and he grumbles.
Vim would recognize them as Team Mysa, the newest team in the guild.
Team Misa added to the OOC page.

Jack didn't even try to suppress her giggle at the abra getting smacked upside his head. "Hey wait a second, did you mention a Guild? For explorers? Weren't you looking for a guild, Claptrap?"

"I--" Rosalina had just begun to speak as the Trapinch had approached. Upon hearing the request of the ground-type addressing them, she stepped to the side, tilting her head.
"I was--" Rosalina began again, but was again cut off, this time by the exchange between the Ralts and Abra. She paused for a moment, and waited, now letting even the Nidoran say what she had to say before attempting to speak again.
"I was heading to the guild to apply." She finally managed to say, looking to the Shinx. "It's always been my dream to explore." She then looked to the Nidoran. "Y-You said your friend is looking for the guild?"

Halfway-tempted to play dumb, so they could get on with their meal, Marcello nonetheless tears his attention from the promise of breakfast. "Quite right, J- Ah... Nidoran! In fact, that was why I set out from my desert in the first place; not a guild to be found, there." He considers smiling at the ambitious Petitil, but... that might have been taken the wrong way.

"Huh," Vim says confused as the two strangers walk up. She hadn't realized that she was standing in the doorway. She does move a bit reluctantly, still eager to hear what the Petilil had to say, "Fine, but I don't know why you didn't eat earlier."
Vim groans at the sight of the twins. It's like they had some sixth sense about whenever she got in trouble...which wasn't so farfetched. She talks over the Petilil as well, "I didn't do nothing. Err, I am staying out of trouble!"
She perks up a little bit, shuffling on her paws, on hearing that the others were looking to apply. "Did you guys not notice the big tower?" She asks, mostly serious.

A reasonable person pokemon would've conceded the point and moved on. Jack, however gave the shinx a leer that practically screamed you're officially on my shit list

Rosalina nods, before pointing out the tower "It's the biggest building in town. That tower, over there."
After a moment, she noticed the air had changed. Glancing between the Shinx and the Nidoran. She skipped out of the way, towards the tower.
"S-So! If we all have the same destination, why don't we all head on?" Rosalina said nervously.

"Yeah... Let's do that". The leer lingered for a few seconds before the tough broke away

Vim's face goes red. Who did this rabbit think she was! If the twins hadn't been there to tattle she would have tore into the Nidoran. As it was they were here....and she was trying to stay out of trouble. She barely notices Petilil scampering away as she glares back. Through gritted teeth, she agrees "Yea....let's," before scampering ahead to at least pretend to lead the way.

Following along, Marcello quietly mourns the tragic loss of breakfast, completely heedless of Jackie and the Shinx's tense stare-down.
