Caervin nodded, the fact that he had been even somewhat correct rustling his comfort. "Well. I don't know what it might be, but someone tried to take me down when I was just a babe and I think my adoptive father had us on the run from it ever since," he admitted quietly. "I don't know nothin' about any cults, or really much about the gods at all mind you... but I know what it's like to watch your back 'til people think you're touched in the head. Maybe we can help each other in that sense. Two sets of wary eyes--" he glances at Elizabeth-- "...pardon. Three I suppose, are better than one."
He finishes talking and sits quietly for a moment, before wringing his hands like he'd like to rid himself of the negative thoughts. "Right then.. Matthaeus, sir, what's there to do in this fine city on a day like today?"

"It's complicated." Mikel responsed to the old man whose name would be nightmare to type on a phone. "It has less to do with worried about them and more to do with collateral damage a fight with them can cause. Regardless, we can move on from the subject. So when does it start exactly and for how long? I will need to rebook my room at the inn."
Lia's jaw dropped. Why was he staying?!

static.zerochan.net/Esmeralda.(Notre.Dame).full.973982.jpg Elizabeth glances at the two men's exchange, a slight furrow of her brow at their shared dubious experience. They furrow even deeper at Caervin's exclusion of her before crinkling as he corrected himself. Whilst she couldn't truly relate to either of them, her lips ease into a smile at his confidence on her abilities. Her hands release their hold on Mikel's as the decision was met before turning herself towards the Seer, a wild grin sported. "Looks like we'll be staying, Mattaeus."

"Well, that's great news. I'm glad that you're still able to take some time to enjoy yourselves. I've known far too many people who take these prophecies as the only thing in their life that must be fulfilled." He shakes is head. "Anyway, you guys don't need to stay back in the city. I've got more than enough guest rooms for you all. Good thing for you that my previous guests left recently. Otherwise some of you would have to share a room." He chuckles. "Well, you could walk the hour back to the city if you want, or there's a beach a little ways down towards the crater. Beautiful sand there. That also gives me time to prep dinner without any of you whippersnappers getting in the way." He says the last bit with a glint in his eye. "Oh, regarding that, is anyone here against eating meat?"ȊȦȜȴǺǛȔȪȰǛȢȰȴȮǛȣȜȫȫȴǺǛȄǢȨǛȢȠȯȯȤȩȢǛȜǛǽȠȜȞȣǛȀȫȤȮȪȟȠǛȪȫȯȤȪȩǛȪȰȯǛȪȡǛȯȣȠǛȲȜȴǛǷȤǹȭȤȢȣȯǛȩȪȲǷǪȤǹǧǛȮȪǛȴȪȰǛȞȜȩǛȮȯȪȫǛȫȠȮȯȠȭȤȩȢǛȨȠǛȜȝȪȰȯǛȤȯǩǛǷȤȨȢǛȞȧȜȮȮǸǝȮȨȤȧȠǝǛȞȪȩȯȠȩȯȠȟȤȯȜȝȧȠǸǝȡȜȧȮȠǝǛȜȧȯǸǝǵȷǝǛȮȭȞǸǝǪǪȤȨȜȢȠȮǩȫȭȪȝȪȜȭȟȮǩȞȪȨǪȱǰǪȮȨȤȧȠȴǪȫȧȜȤȩǩȫȩȢǝǛȯȠȳȯǸǝǵȷǝǹǛÊ

"I have no problems eating whatever." Mikel said, "Thank you for your offer by the way." He said. "A room is certainly most helpful. And you are sure you don't need any help?" Mikel asked unsure what he should do in the meantime. Sand was just sand, so he didn't see how it being pretty changed its function.

Caervin shrugged. "Meat's fine. I don't eat fish, though," he responded. He'd never been a fan of beaches--something unnerved him about them ever since finding out he'd washed up on one--but at least he wouldn't have to swim. Kindy and Rune might enjoy a little bit of time out of their balls in the fresh air, however, so after a minute of consideration, he nodded.
"I won't swim, but maybe we'll find a wild challenge or two there, yeah?" Or in the very least, a tree to climb. That would give him a chance to think, at least...

static.zerochan.net/Esmeralda.(Notre.Dame).full.973982.jpg At Mattaeus's comment, her cheeks redden slightly against her tanned skin, an uncomfortable embarrassment protruding at the would have been possibility. Quickly shaking herself from her thoughts, she brightly smiles at his suggestion of the beach. "Some time in the beach would be great!" She exclaims, a fondness forthcoming in her voice. She and her Pokemon need some R&R, after all. "It's been so long since I've been to one.
"Why don't you swim as well, Caervin?""I'm not aversed to eating meat as well, however I'm not particularly fond of Gogoat or Bouffalant meat. Having taken care of them back in the farm, I just don't feel well eating them." She pouts, her voice trailing. "I'm sorry if that seems picky... Thank you as well for the room. I don't have much to give you in return, however."

"Oh, no, no, lass, you don't need to pay me!" Matthaeus looks aghast at the thought. "I'm here to provide hospitality as well as tend to this place. And no worries about the meat situation. I can rustle up something... Hmmm... that might just work. Oh, sorry, don't mind me. You kids have fun. Want me to send Prophet down to get you when dinner's ready, or will you just come up whenever?

At the assurance that the man didn't need help Mikel glanced around wondering what to do. He didn't have any experiences with beaches or swimming, nor did he want to get his only outfit wet. At the same time he could use the trip to wash off his clothes and it seemed the other man didn't plan to swim either.
"Well...I guess it wouldn't hurt to walk up to the beach and look around." Mikel said reluctantly. "It would let me clean off from the journey here."

Able to leave all of your non-essentials at Matthaeus' house, it is with lighter shoulders that you are able to head town towards the beach. Hopefully the same can be said for your hearts. Anyways, you travel about ten minutes from the house before coming to a path that leads down to a beautiful beach with sparkling waters. Stepping onto the beach, you notice that the sand is pure white, reflecting the sun (hopefully you packed sunglasses?), and the water has a flat quality to it - almost disturbingly so. Any ripples that you make in its surface quickly vanish. It does make for a pretty mirror, though. The water itself, if you stick any body part in it, is pleasantly cold, a nice contrast to the warm air around. In fact, it's a bit odd, given how high you are. It should be colder than this, right? Oh well. Might as well enjoy it. Hey, look, there are a couple palm-type trees over there for shade! Everyone make a perception check for this scene.

Caervin, distracted as he was by the unnaturalness of the water and his discomfort with being so close to it, doesn't pay much attention to anything that might be unusual, and instead fiddles anxiously with the pokeballs clipped to the inside of his jacket. Perception 9.
(If nothing happens, he'll head over to the palm trees and do his best to climb one-- how tall are they?)

As they walked, Mikel's eyes scanned the water and sand. He had rarely spent much time around the water and so it was a new sight. He was surprised the air was actually warm considering their location and when he stuck his hand in the water he noted it wasn't as cold as he had expected. Satisfied that this would be as good a time as any to wash off his cloak since the air was warm, Mikel removed it, revealing a white long-sleeved shirt underneath. The fabric seemed light and very thin and the plain design seemed to merely care about covering with no designs or decoration to it. Mikel sat down on the sand near the water and unsheathed his sword before dipping the cloak in the water. He then wiped his sword down with the wet part before drying it thoroughly with a dry segment. Once it was cleaned, he resheathed the blade and focused on washing the cloak. Lia, in the meantime, grumbled as she walked around before plopping down on the sand and wandering why they had to travel with people. They had always traveled alone before. She looked around at the surroundings wondering if there was any way to annoy the female human without risking drawing attention to herself. If only she had telekinesis or something so she could trip the annoying human into the water! Lia got a 15 on perception Mikel got a 6

static.zerochan.net/Esmeralda.(Notre.Dame).full.973982.jpg Her lips curved into a smile as she rode into the beach with Apollo's hooves digging into the coarse white sand beneath them. He plodded at the sand, neighing at the waters with some level of disdain at their close proximity. Elizabeth merely chuckled at her friend's discomfort. Swinging herself off from her perch, with a thump, her feet went. Gazing at the scene in front of her, her eyes crinkled at its brightness. "There's not a lot of people who know about this place is there?" She mused, calling out to the two men, Caervin and Mikel, who had left Mattaeus's home before her. She had need of changing into something more appropriate was her reasoning. Perception Check on The Beach: 12

"It seems not. So why did you need to cha---," Mikel started to say as he looked over his shoulder at Elizabeth's arrival. He had been confused when the lady had stayed to change for a simple walk down to the water. However when his eyes saw the maiden his words got caught in his throught and he stopped and starred. He wasn't sure why, but for some reason his brain seemed to freeze as he looked at the new attire, his eyes for son reason drawn toward the chest.
Lia looked annoyed and poked him trying unsuccessfully to get his attention on her instead. She was about go poke again when she realized something and grinned before sitting back down and leaving her master to state.

static.zerochan.net/Esmeralda.(Notre.Dame).full.973982.jpg Having taken the lotion she kept in her side satchel, she started applying it to herself, wanting nothing more than to start dipping herself into the cool waters. Her eyes roved over the other two. Caervin was mostly keeping to himself whilst Mikel's gaze was completely on her, notably her chest. "Mikel?" She began, quirking an eye at his stare, as her hands worked the slippery liquid around her neck. "My eyes are up here."

As Mikel looked he tried to figure out why his eyes were so distracted. Elizabeth was lovely for sure, but he hadn't been staring at her, much less her chest before. Was it the outfit? The white fabric didn't seem to be anything special so why did he feel his eyes unnaturally drawn?
Mikel's thoughts were quickly ended by Elizabeth's words. He quickly looked up at her eyes. He wasn't sure if he had done something wrong, but if the lady wanted him to look at her eyes he would comply. He looked up at her eyes before feeling his eyes start to wander again before quickly forcing them up. Damn It what is wrong with me? He thought annoyed as his eyes kept trying to pull away from her eyes.
"Oh, of course, sorry Lady Elizabeth." He said quickly. "You have lovely eyes I don't know why I wasn't looking before." He quickly adds before forcing his gaze a bit above her head so that he could avoid looking too low. "Is that what people normally swim in?" He asked motioniny with his empty hand while keeping eyes high.

Approaching the tall trees, Caervin sees that, despite their apparent bulk, these trees are fairly flexible and don't seem to be that good for climbing. Which is a shame, because it looks like there's some sort of food hanging from the branches and leaves at the top. Well, maybe he can figure out a way to get some down. Or just try climbing. As he contemplates whether or not it would be a good idea to start, and Elizabeth and Mikel engage in some awkward conversation, Lia gives a sharp cry out. She's pointing towards the water (well pointing and sharply jabbing Mikel in the side) where, silently, a gelatinous beast has risen from the depths, thrashing it's tentacles wildly. Not only that, but, floating in the air relatively nearby are four more of those strange "Unknowns" from before. Well... is it four, or three? Two of them almost look conjoined, with their eyes glowing. Hmmm... this can't be good. At least it's a distraction from the awkwardness... Here's a Map.Initiative order! Apollo Caervin Lia Tentacruel Elizabeth Mikel Unown

"Owww stop that, Lia, what is wr---" Mikel started to say, finally having his focus diverted by Lia's constant jabbing. He turned to look at what she was pointing at and stopped, "Well...so much for peace and quiet..." He mumbled. "Lia, electrocute the thing. It came out of the water so that seems like a safe bet." Meanwhile, he drew his freshly cleaned sword and sighed. He had JUST washed it off. After Lia zapped the thing, he decided to hope to end the fight with the giant jelly blob by just capturing the thing. If they could remove an entire enemy from the battle it would make things quicker. Plus, with his limited experience with swimming having a pokemon to ride for any future trips near the water would be very helpful. He hurled one of the two pokeballs he had right at the creature's head and hoped it wouldn't bust out. Kirlia shock waves for 28 electric special damage Mikel hits the stupid punk in the face with a pokeball. Accuracy=12 (vs 6+speed evasion), Capture roll=18
Neither moves. If someone targets Elizabeth, Mikel intercepts with Defender. Mikel can ranged Intercept up to max movement (7m), he can melee interrupt up to 6m.
Edit: If it somehow gets KO'd in one round Mikel's action will uhhh... twirl his sword around all fancy like and call out the Unown to be a man and get on the ground?
