Tiki isn't sure, but accepts the gig. She then leaves back to the guild to get ready.

Tiki barges into the Fire Branch, shouting at the top of her lungs. She barely gets in the door before something in the walls (which have weird, open vents in them) sprays smoke at her as a voice from further in tells her to either calm down or get out (though the tone infers that the latter would be the 'correct' response).

Tiki coughs, and waves her hands around to get the smoke away from her. She is stubborn though... "Hey! You can't be doing that! I want answers!" She crosses her arms, and taps her foot.

As Tiki stands at the threshold of Fire Branch, the heat begins to intensify. It very quickly becomes unbearable. One of the other Fire Branch members (who are on their way out) recommends that Tiki not stand there too long or she'll get dried out and possibly get burned by the Wall Turtles (who are responsible for the heat). If Tiki remains, she must make a focus check to resist the heat or be forced out.

Tiki can feel the sweltering heat, but is determined to give these jerks a piece of her mind.
Focus: 10

Tiki initially withstands the heat, but it steadily intensifies. Right as she's beginning to reach her limit, a teen girl walks by on her way out and casually throws fire at Tiki's feet, causing her to instinctively jump backwards and allowing the doors to close in her face.

Tiki yelps, and growls as she is getting nowhere. "Grrrrr! You can bet I'll be back! You can't get away this! Whoever hurt Clay, you've got yourselves a fight! You can expect a butt-kicking soon from Tiki! NORMAL BRANCH!!" She kicks the door as she makes as much ruckus as she can, and runs away before she gets gassed again. She pants as she reaches the much cooler areas of the guild, and heads back towards the infirmry. Upon seeing Rei she heads over. Tiki looks pretty messed up looking all sweaty, and covered in soot from the smoke.

"Yes, Ms. Tiki? What did you want to know?"

"You seem really strong when it comes to reading minds. Is it possible to manipulate memories?"

Anya pauses only briefly before answering "yes". "It is possible, but requires a powerful Psychic, and is extremely illegal. Why do you ask?"

Tiki thinks for a moment before speaking up. "...I may ask for such a task to be done on myself. Depending on how things turn out, I wish to have certain memories erased. Depending on my friend Rei's choice, she will choose to enter a romantic relationship with me, or another person. If it isn't me, I wish to forget ever falling in love with her. I see it is illegal, but my total silence on the matter is promised, total focus on these strange dreams will be there, and one more thing." Tiki fidgets around, and then speaks. "Perhaps I might be owed this....My friend Divini was a member of your branch during the guild recruitment a few weeks ago. She took up a mission from this branch to investigate Lavender Swamp. 2 others, along with myself, were there with her, and she disappeared, and hasn't been seen since. I don't know what this branch has done to find her, but if nothing, you could offer me the possibility of this procedure." Tiki lets out a large sigh, and waits for a response.

"Ms. Monteblanc returned a few days later and quietly withdrew from the Guild. She never gave her reasons. As for your romantic issues, I don't really see that as a solution. If she doesn't choose you, you want to forget about your love for her? That's a very unhealthy stance, and one which I will not support. Instead, I suggest you simply try to be happy for your friends. It may be painful, but, and forgive me for using such a cliché saying: "It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." While this phrase mostly deals with the loss of a loved one, I feel it can also be just as well-suited to your situation. If you need further counseling on the matter, for any reason, I can refer you to the Guild's counselors if you wish."

Tiki blinks as she processes what happened to Divini. Weird, but she shakes her head to the rest of the woman's statement. "No. You don't understand. I don't feel like I'll ever be the same as I was if she doesn't choose me. Before this other person showed up, we seemed like we would be happy together, but now...It hurts so so much to even think of her with someone else...Please. Would you please consider it?"

"Perhaps I don't fully understand what you're going through with this.. 'love triangle', but I am not about to reprogram your memory because you want to avoid heartache. Even if it wasn't illegal I wouldn't do it. Aside from that, memories can't be 'erased' like many think. They can be suppressed so deeply that there would be little chance of them returning to the surface, but they'd always be there. You'd feel like some part of you was missing and never be able to figure it out. Love and heartbreak is part of growing up, Tiki. If you can't move past it now, then you can never have a healthy relationship later on. Thus, my response stays the same: I will not do it, and nor will anyone else. If you persist in this self-destructive line of thought, then I will drag you to the counselors myself and force you to work through it."
Anya waits to see Tiki's response. Her hope is that Tiki will realize her mistake in thinking she can just seek out a "quick fix" to her romance problems by deciding she doesn't want to love someone if they wont' love her back. That's not only selfish, but leads to a bad relationship.

Tiki frowns, clicks her tongue, and storms out. The plan seemed to good to be true, and it was. Hopefully taking her anger, and frustration out in battles would help. Probably not, but it would feel good.

Tiki finds the beach fairly packed for such a small town, but there's still plenty of space for her and her Poke-entourage to enjoy the nice weather while it lasts.

Tiki finds herself a spot, and lets out her pokes so they can enjoy the sun, sand, and water. Tiki kicks off her shoes, and steps into the water. The initially cold, but refreshing water is very nice. "Ahhh...So good to be back here."

The sun is still in a good spot, radiating heat down on this little beach. The surf is cool and calm, what more could a person ask for?

Tiki wades a bit more into the water as she watches her pokemon have fun. Star, Lovers, and Aeon frolic at the water's edge. Toppo is sunbathing, Tootsie watches over the group from the tree line, and World is deeper in the water as he isn't a fan of the hot, sunny weather. He would rather rain dance, but that would ruin a lot of the people's fun. Tiki lets out a sigh as she enjoys the moment, but still knows that things are going to get tense when she heads back to the others.

As Tiki and Zoey ride from the castle town to the plains, and having a gool ol' time rushing through the plains, Tiki thinks about Zoey's mood. She did seem like she was holding up pretty well. "Hey Zoey. How are you holding up? Yesterday was pretty wild, huh?" Tiki had no idea how to approach the situation, but Zoey seemed pretty direct.
