"Moxi?"
The Cherubi considers the name for a bit, ten develops a quaint little grin on its face
"I think that would be delightful. As for you . . . hmm."
Cherubi seriously takes some time to consider this
"How about Uri? It means, "my light"?"

Fae shouts "woohoo!" and grins like crazy when Moxi accepts her nickname. Then, when she mentions "Uri," he jumps up (maybe scaring her a bit). "I LOVE IT!" he exclaims. Scooping Moxi up, he skips happily over to the others. "Nice to meet you guys, I'm Uri, and this is Moxi!" he says, practically beaming. Wait...nope- not practically, but literally beaming. It's almost hard to look at. Fae will now go by Uri. Flowerpot is also ok

"Hsia," offers Hsia from her spot at a neighboring table. She seems to have claimed it (and a plateful of food) for herself, hissing at anyone who looks like they're thinking of sitting down with her... except her companion, of course, which is seated on her lap. "Do not know this one's name." This does not appear to embarrass her, although she glances down at it curiously.

The bone creature takes some time to stop eating its apple and looks up to Hsia
"I am Cubone. I thought it was Ka-bone, but apparently it's not"

Bedwyr aslo takes an apple from the table before reaching under his poncho to flick out a small tool knife and starts peeling it. "Name's Bedwyr Steamgalley." he offers his name before handing a lemon to his new 'companion' "I've taken to calling this one Ms Pink, yet something strikes me that she'll be changing her name before long. " he explains then starts biting into the now freshly peeled apple.

Ms Pink smiles and eats the whole lemon in one bite, skin and all. She's completely unfazed by the bitter, sour fruit.
"No, I'm perfectly content with Ms Pink. It really define's my cute and lovable demeanor!"

Uri likes Ms. Pink, she seems sweet. "Nice to meet everyone" he says, looking at each of the new companions. Sorin's companion- mimikyu, was it?- catches his eye. It's got a dilapidated Pikachu costume on, and all he can see underneath is a churning, dark shadow. It exudes a sinister feeling. Uri shivers, cradling Moxi a bit tighter in his arms. Thankfully she's pretty light, so he doesn't mind holding her. Sniffing, Uri realizes that Moxi smells different now- less appetizing, more like a pleasant perfume. Maybe her scent changes with her mood?
Since it looks like everyone's finishing up with breakfast, he turns to Alfa. "Hey Alfa, what was that 'fun' thing you had in mind?"

Sorin booped Mimikyu right between the eyes, he still thought he was a girl. Sorin shook his head and waved at everyone as they introduced themselves. It was only polite after all. When Uri/Fae turned towards Alfa, Sorin's attention also changed to the other boy. It could be something interesting.

Secus too waited for the Kin's response, while absentmindedly scratching the top of Parasect's cap. It made his hand tingle slightly, but he wasn't sure whether it was from his powers reacting to the creature, or the natural toxin's of the mushroom. Either way, he was distracted by the thought of some of the others nicknaming their companions. I wonder if Parasect would prefer that. He resolved to ask him later.

Alfa is once again intimidated (this may be a thing with him) by the sudden clumping of the group.
"Ah! well . . . I don't mean we HAVE to do it . . but if you need something to do, we can maybe look into exploring the Distral Gardens. It's sort of like a commune we've created for less hostile monsters. They can live in peace, we take care of them, but they also offer their services as battle companions. It's pretty low risk, so it might not be too fun . . . I'm sorry if I got your hopes up . .. "

Oooo, Distral Gardens. Fanceee! Uri muses. Windrider has been stunning so far, so these gardens must be a sight to see, and getting to encounter more monsters is icing on the cake! "Let's go!" Uri exclaims. "Doesn't some time in the sun sound great, Moxi?"

"That sounds fun, Y'hear that Mimikyu? We can get you some more friends!" Sorin was also excited at the possibility of getting new friends as fast as possible. He wanted as many as he could get, and he probably wouldn't take no as an answer. Plus, if they were less hostile there wouldn't be a fight...probably. Sorin wasn't sure how much use he would be in a fight, and he didn't want to test it out just yet.

Now that sounds like a test, Secus thought, remembering the bungled attempt at entry to the college not so long ago. "I would appreciate a chance to familiarise myself with Parasect," he says to the deer, the opportunity seeming like a good one to test their strength, and to the group he says, "and perhaps we can get to know each other's capabilities as well."

"Gardens," Hsia agrees, not sure exactly what they'll be expected to do there but thinking that at least the surroundings would be more familiar. She's spent more time under a roof in the last few weeks than in the rest of her life.

"I-uh-i mean . . . I guess . . .ok let's uh . . . this way"Alfa seems especially on edge now, but decides to lead you all through another lengthy series of halls to a single painting of a garden. It seems like he might have gotten lost, after all, this isn't a room or entryway or anything. What could this boy be thinking? Suddenly, Alfa touches the painting, and it ripples into tiny waves, like throwing a stone in a river. He preps himself and leaps in. Should the rest of you follow, you'll find yourselves in a pristine green garden entrance. Here the air is sweet and refreshing. "Um . . . we're here. . . maybe you guys should take out your new companions and follow me"Alfa leads the way down a beaten path through a circular entrypoint. Should you get lost, it's good to note that behind you stands a random wall, which looks like the last remaining broken part of what used to be a large building, and on that wall is a picture of the school's hallway. It's easy to assume this is the way back. As you all make your way down the path, the scents of a variety of flowers invigorate your senses. This is surely a peaceful place . . . or at least it would be if it wasn't for the giant wall of thorns that suddenly seperated the group into two groups "Ah! Guys are you ok?!?!"Alfa, Secus, and Sorin were leading the group in the front, leaving Bedwyth, Hsia, and Fae on the other side of the thornwall. It seems like it's risen far too high to be climbed, and the thorns definitely don't look pleasant to the touch.

Uri gasps and jumps back from the thorns- this looks like an attack! He whirls around, his eyes sweeping the area for signs of any monsters. In the process, he notes that Hsia and Bedwyr look okay for now. Not sure about the people on the other side, though... Unwilling to call out for fear of drawing attention to himself, Uri simply hopes that Secus, Sorin, and Alfa are capable of self-defense. He whispers to Moxi, who is still in his arms "I'm gonna set you down now- get ready to fight." His skin seems to glow faintly, like stars on a misty night.
Uri uses starlight, +2 Special Defense CS and +2 Evasion

Sorin looked up at the wall, he might be able to climb it, but he'd need some gloves and boots if he wanted to try that. "Is this....normal?" He looked over to Alfa as he asked, Alfa was supposed to know this place after all, surely he had an explanation for all this. And if he didn't, well....that would be bad...Worst case, he could throw those little capture devices at them, but that was about all he had, weapon wise. Well, he could capture them in nets, if they're small enough, at least. Either way, he placed Mimikyu down, It wouldn't do to hold the little guy back if a fight started.

Secus doesn't have long to be awed by the magic painting that seemed to be the gateway to his garden, before the wall of thorns appears, separating the group. He reacts quickly, bringing his palms together, middle and pointer fingers of each hand extended perpendicular to the ground. As before a pulse of light emits from his body, blanketing the members of the group in a prismatic coat. Hopefully it reached the party members on the other side of the wall. "Prepare yourself, Parasect," he says to his now reflective companion. "It would seem they intend to test us after all."
He turns to the two other people on this side of the thorns, Alfa and Sorin. "The barrier should reflect a small amount of damage. I am sorry it is not more powerful."
Initiatives: Secus: 13 Parasect: 10
Secus uses Reflect! Again!

Alfa panics a bit
"I-I don't know! It's just supposed to be a simple walk through a garden to the monsters. I mean, sometimes there's traps set up for course training with thorn walls, explosions, and pits of aci . . . oh I think I realized what happened"
Russling can be heard in the nearby bushes
"Oh no . . .guys, maybe get ready for something!"
and almost as if scripted, out from the bushes comes . . . nothing. Apparently it's just the wind. The same can be said from the other side. It seems that all is safe. Anti-climatically
"Oh . . . uh . . . or relax. We seem safe."

Hsia spins into a crouch as the thorns appear, her back to Cubone's and claws at the ready. She does not relax at Alfa's reassurance, he hasn't been very good at telling threats from non-threats so far... Perception result - 10
