As the Shinx took the 'lead', Rosalina eased up a little. The tension in the air had concerned her, and while it clearly wasn't gone, it at least looked like things weren't going to get any worse, for now. She turned her attention back to the tower ahead of them for a moment, before turning her head to look to the others behind her. "So... Are you two looking to apply at the guild, too?" she asked, taking a more cautious tone. She was clearly nervous, and desperately wanted to at least ease the tension. "Or is there maybe a job you two are looking to post?"

"I'm not much of a 'hero' type, but I'm not good at much else but punching things, so if explorers make a career out of punching things, and I need money for food, then I guess that's what I'm down for".
Jack wasn't honestly that angry at that stupid cat, but the nidoran wasn't going to take any more of her shit. As they continued to walk about, a very pertinent question resurfaced.
"So.... are you guys local? Do you know anyone who might be able to explain...unusual events?"

"Yes...No," Vim says, backtracking, "It's the biggest Guild Hall around so most of the territory, uh, area around they end up covering." She has to think about the second question a little bit. She didn't really know what Nidoran was looking for...so best to be as broad as possible. "You'd need to be more specific about what your looking for but maybe InnKeeper Mienshao would know. Or Spoink if he's back yet. Or the Guild Master," she pauses, for a moment, almost as if thinking about something again, "Unless you mean the Nightmares. Nobody knows about them."

Rosalina sighed--or, at least, puffed slightly up, before slowly returning to normal, given she has no mouth for sighing--as she heard the Nidoran's motivations. At least she's not mugging Pokemon for food, I guess?
Rosalina was able to relax a bit more, now that the two blue Pokémon around her didn't look like they'd spring into violence at any second. However, her nervousness hadn't completely left her. They were still complete strangers to her, after all. It took her a moment to speak up, "H-How unusual? It really, um. Depends on what you want to know, specifically."
She really wasn't sure how to respond, further than that. And even more-so, was afraid she might spark another conflict. None-the-less, Rosalina had been taught many things, and wondered if the events the Nidoran was curious about fell within her pool of knowledge.

"What if someone woke up one day in an unfamiliar place with a different body?"
Jack was blushing already. She walked with her eyes closed, not wanting to deal with whatever skeptical, bemused, pitying glances the salad and stupid cat had going for him

"What?" Vim manages before missing a step and trying not to tumble. Pausing for a moment and unconsciously pawing the feather in her fur, she tries to brush off the idea but it isn't convincing, "That's crazy! It's just a, a rumor."
Could this jerk be like me? She doesn't want to think about it just now. Best to just continue walking.

As the group of pokemon head towards the Guildtower, the twins turn and follow, kinda curious about this 'unusual event', however the rest of the townfolk that pass by seemingly ignore the group, outside a few odd looks of why you were all standing in the middle of the path.

"M-Maybe it could be the effect of a weird move or ability?" Rosalina wasn't really sure about this one, though it sounded quite like symptoms of what was, as she'd been taught, a common mental disorder. Of course, she didn't dare throw a diagnosis at the Nidoran.
Rosalina halted her walk momentarily as she turned her attention to the tower ahead, again. She'd gotten so distracted by the conversation that she hadn't noticed how close they now were. She took a moment to ready her nerves, before following again. "B-But, surely the Pokémon at the guild could tell you more."

Inspired by how close they appeared to be to actually entering a Guild, Marcello tries to encourage the Petitil, saying, "My, you appear to be quite well-learned! Even I couldn't fathom what had happened to... err, what might cause such a strange effect as that. And just think, soon enough, you may very well become one such expert at the guild. I daresay it's well within the realm of possibility, Miss Petitil!"

The nidoran was about to call out the shinx, but suspected she was genuinely surprised as opposed to being snarky. Jack would have to ask her about that later . "The effects of a move, eh? I wonder what would be strong enough to pull a trick like that." Jack scowled. She had more of an idea of just what could do that, and she didn't like it. She unconsciously pawed at the crystaline pendant of an X, occasionally pulsating the colors blue, orange, purple, and yellow around her neck.
So I was dyin' and something was tough enough keep me alive, and looking like this? I'm not important enough to waste that kinda mojo. So who would want to snub the big bad bird like that? Ugh, I guess I'll have to do some reading or some shit.
"Good to know" And with that the Nidoran tough gal pressed on to the guild tower

Rosalina's cheeks--or where cheeks would be, if she had a mouth-- took on a yellowish tint as the Trapinch spoke. She was, of course, embarrassed by the flattery. "I-It's really a pretty common explanation, when you don't understand something." She let out a bit of a nervous laugh before continuing. "I'm sure you'll make for a great explorer, too, Mister Trapinch."
She took a moment to think, as she stopped and stared at the entrance of the towering structure ahead of them (Provided it's safe to assume we're there, at this point). She couldn't think of any Pokémon with moves or abilities like that, short of, perhaps, a senile ditto.
"I'm really sorry I couldn't be more help."

Vim rolls her eyes at all the flattery floating around. And with her luck she'd end up flocking, or rather, teaming up with them. Well it would beat pairing up with the twins...
Nidoran would need all the help she could get.Vim had been here for... well a month or so and she wasn't close at all to figuring out how to get back to flying. She hops along as they approach the Guild Hall

The Guildtower in person is much larger than one might think from a distance, there seems to be... glowing translucent loops around the tower as it goes up that cant be seen from the distance. One of such loops has a bird-like silhouette perched on it overlooking the city.
Upon entering the tower, the world around you seems to change as if some mysterious force kept the tower itself separate from the outside. On either side of the entrance you can see a board with multiple notices on them and a large split staircase ahead going up to the next floor, a few pokemon around the room talking or studying the boards.

Vim hops up the set of steps as she 'leads' the way inside. The 'shifting' that happens as she steps inside hardly phases her. Mostly. She waits patiently for the forth coming question. Still it isn't long enough for anyone to ask a real question before she bubbles, "So did you want to talk to the Guild Master now or did you have a question?" She didn't really have all that many answers but she'd still try and impress them.

Thoroughly impressed by the Guild, even more so up close, Marcello had been content to walk in silence. For a little while, anyways. "No questions, Miss. But we would be most grateful if you could point out the din- Ah. If you could take us right to the Guildmaster.", he said, excitement almost losing out to hunger.

Rosalina was thoroughly in awe as she walked in. So this is what the inside of a guild is like? "Y-Yeah. Straight to applying would be nice. M-Maybe after you could show us around?"

Well that was easier than Vim had expected. "This way then," cheerfully gesturing with her tail to the stairs, "We've got some climbing to do." She sets to the task, hopping confidently up the steps. Vim might normally have some trouble running out of breathe but she wasn't about to slow in front of the others. Athletics that she will surely fail with AP: rO6PC8gZ1d6+1 1d6+1

Jack nodded stoically, trying to contain his excitement at finally getting some answers. as she climbed alongside the cat, she noticed that she was straining herself to lead the pack. Being kind of a jerk like that, Jack decided to race ahead to display her superiority
