Claimed for entropy.

Another time, another place, deep underground in the Aegis Cave...

It's a mess.

Regice has accpeted Vee's peace offering in the form of an ice pike, but now they're just... looking at eachother, alone together in the first chamber of the mystery dungeon. What now?

Charles is witnessing a venomous staredown between an enraged Theodore, the badly banged up psychic marauders in Regirock's chamber, and a storm of unown cheering Theo's violence on. Who needs their help more? Their judgment?

Everyone else, is hopping into the battle between Regigigas and a mob of embittered civvie pokemon spearheaded by their old rescue, Dury the Misdreavus as a third party. It's pandemonium! Kaku and Tinto were swatted into a wall by a critical knock off for 288 Damage, Registeel has just saved Cast from a powerful earthquake, at the cost of his own health, but can't get the titan pokemon's attention, and Sable is being propositioned by the angry, homeless pokemon to aid in their opposing cause! What to do? Which party to champion? The choice is yours...

Theo's wide arc smacks all three of the defeated ruffians over. The unown swarm around him jig back and forth with a singsong chattering. His targets all gasp in pain.
"Urk! This isn't fair! Don't hurt us!" Alakazam cries out.
"...Tsk!" The mime flinches.
"What were we supposed to do? We thought we lost our friends in those mystery dungeons forever! And so many of us don't have homes anymore!", the Hypno hisses out. He tries to raise an arm against Theo, but can't seem to muster the strength.

>>5510235
Sure was a 16! The bolt snakes down from the ceiling, Instantly downing one of the Mimes trying to rally everyone! They can't mount an offense in their renewed panic. They're being assaulted by electric moves now, too?! The mob loses its turn, and Cast can feel the psychic pressure on him wane to nothing.

>>5510241
Stern prospects for lizards, and peels Tinto from the wall for R&R... but it's pretty chaotic. Where to go...?
>>5510239
Regice, ignoring Theo's theatrics, tries to nod. His head and torso are the same structure, so it comes off more as a menacing, shadowy hover over Vee before it plucks him and starts hobbling down to the lower levels.

>>5510236
A couple of battered and buried psychics hear Sable's confusion and, identifying with him against the ongoing battle, merely retreat to the staircase instead of continuing their assault. Plenty are still ready for battle, however...

>>5510249
A Mr. Mime runs past Mistral, trying to organize the combatants on his side. He points at the titan. "It's the monster that destroyed our home! Help us take him down for good!" before tumbling over on the rumbling ground.

>>5510243
You recall these golem pokemon being pretty obstructive to the whole 'not ending the world' adventure before, but at the same time, they seem like they've been keeping to themselves since then... do they deserve retribution?

>>5510258
Astor finds a neat gash in a wall to rest on while tens of civillian pokemon are tossed around by Regigigas's earthquake.

>>5510278
"Hey guys! Sorry for being late, what the hell is going on?"
Astor vibes along the earthquake

Theodore would continue the battle- but they're clearly all defeated. He huffs, annoyed by this moral quandary.

"What?" He asks, confused.

"Hmmm, on one hand, yeah they kinda deserve this, on the other I'm of the opinion of not blaming a Pokémon for their Master's mistakes... I dunno guys, you choose this one for me!"

NPC TRUN 2

The mob of Alakazam, Mr. Mime, and Hypno aretoo frazzled by Cast and Registeel's intervention to accomplish anything productive together...

Not finding its attention on anyone new in particular, Regigigas fires off three more earthquakes! The shockwaves ripple off of every surface, layering over eachother and building eachothers' strength in the choas! The razed shards of ground deal 468 total damage to most combatants, knocking out a large chunk of psychics! Kaku, with his hardened hair-muscle only takes 260, while registeel spends his action tossing Castform into the air once again to protect him before taking 462 himself. He looks pretty bad, only standing with the help of a gifted cosmic power.

>>5510284
"W-we were beaten by a feral?!... You wouldn't understand what it's like not having a home..." The zam slumps.

>>5510296
Charles, Vee, and Regice skitter down past the third chamber, in which another Hypno and Alakazam are arguing about knitting. They can hear the sounds of battle raging below, before meeting a Misdreavus scurrying up the staircase...

Kaku's 1-2 combo catches the titan pokemon off guard, enough that a thin band wrapped around one of its wiry fingers slips off and flutters to the ground. A black belt...
It takes 547 damage from the assault. A glare of intrigue and faint regognition graces Regigigas's many eyes.

>>5510294

A hypno struggles to pull another from some rubble. "Yeah, they're supposed to keep interlopers like you and them-" He waves at the Castform flagging a healer for his sworn enemy "...outta here. You with us, or against us?" A couple pairs of eyes fall upon Charles. Technically, they aren't fighting anymore, but more because of their attention than desire...
One of Mimes turns to Sable, clearly outraged. "And just- let them go?!"
>>5510332
Vee is... undetectable! In his position, he could sabotage or assist anyone he wanted safely. Even Regice looks confused...?

>>5510341
The limited drafts this deep in the cave stuff Mistral's gales before they can chill to their abnormally typical immobilization. He still manages to shave off 279 health off of the titan... he looks rather livid at the resistance he's being met with...

Stern and Mistral get an oddly acute sense of where Tinto's body is hurting! But what is he dreaming of? Does he sleepmumble?

Do ghosts get concussions?

Helping! Seeing the freezing winds inspires Astor's rally for his team. Only the guild members seem to thing to catch the tailwind for their movements, though. These psychics must be novices...

Theodore enters the fray in the pit of the dungeon. He sees... Castform helping one of the golems lift themselves, the big one wreaking havoc and eyeing Kaku and Mistral, twitching with rage, and the icy one standing around and looking for... someone. Many of the violent psychics he's seen around the dungeon are trying to rally for a mass future sight against Regigigas...

Vee has entered undetectable status, and is willing to abuse it. He takes a look around for any more sneaky means of traversal. Uneven walls that could be scaled, vines hanging from the ceiling, crawlspaces and vents, he's seen it all before, and he hopes to see it again.

Sneaky.

>>5510362
"Look, you're gonna have to stop trying to quake us out of living!"

Regigigas' fists curl up before swinging with surprising speed! One of his empowered angry blows comfortably whiffs on Kaku, and it isn't close. Do his other drain punches catch him or Mistral? All will be revealed with... their actions and rolls next turn.

Registeel, hardly recognizing Castform's suggestion with all the damage he's taken, lumbers over to a group of distracted Mr Mime before Bulldozing through the group with a heavy slam. It only KOes one of them, but now everyone's attention is on him.

The rest of the psychics... still can't get it going!

Theodore stares at Regigigas. Although its impossible to tell, he is in awe of the legendary titan. He lets out another wail, but this one is a series of quick wails more akin to beeps and droning. He's trying to speak with him and understand what's going on!

>He is a revolting abomination, a grotesque fusion of human and aquatic horrors. His skin is a nauseating shade of green, resembling the eerie luminescence of a supernatural entity. His eyes are sunken and empty, set in a twisted and deformed body that seems to have been sculpted from clay by a mad and demonic artist. His arms and legs are elongated and end in razor-sharp claws that seem to glimmer in the dim light. His mouth is a jagged, tooth-filled gash, capable of easily ripping through flesh.
>The forciably imagined finger points downward.
>Tintoretto is now his normal self.
>Behind Tintoretto, a clone of himself appears
"Can you please send me back to reality? I have spent far too long lost in the realm of the pocket monster and been forced to watch the shadow of myself puppeteer me for too long and I long to return to the tangible world. The beauty and complexity of the human experience is calling to me, and I can no longer resist its call."

"You."
>The Guildmaster chuckles.
"That would be too much of an ask..."

"Hm, you know what? I think we should get Regirock over here! Maybe that'll help...?"
Stern puts down Tintoretto and rushes on over to the Rock Chamber, as fast as he can.

>>5510371
Castform drops another spear of lightning down on an unsuspecting Hypno trying to focus a future sight on Regigigas! Pokemon nearby have taken the hint and are fleeing in fear from the terrible might of the orb tower! They've been disengaged from the battle with the golems.

>>5510379
>>5510375
Charles, whether intentionally or unintentionally, makes a barrier of himself between Registeel on his last legs and the rest of the mob. One of them cries out to the gemlin, "And let him squash us? He's laying waste to us as we speak!" At this point, everyone not unconscious or fleeing is offering him and Sable their attention.

Meanwhile, Kaku completely ignores the windfall on his back. Instead, he plants his feet in the destroyed ground, taking a wide stance while his hair tendrils curl tighter and tighter upon themselves until he's as taut as a garrot wire. Instead of dodging, he catches Gigas' gargantuan fist all by his lonesome! the force of the blow kicks all the rubble around him into the air as he absorbs a pitiable 79 damage. A second wind from landing drain punch revitalizes the titan pokemon for 39 points, before Kaku rears up and slams the limb down into the ground for 356 damage!

>>5510376
Citrine gives his signature ground-stomp right as Gigas goes to dig his hands into the floor for another earthquake. The shockwaves cancel eachother out, exactly as they did in their first battle, but... an enraged Alakazam is now yelling right into his side. "What is there to think about?!"

>>5510386
Mistral, meanwhile, uses Astor's gusts as a springboard to launch himself into the oncoming fist! The force of his graceful landing allows him to step up the appendage with a kick instead of getting punched, and Mistral takes advantage of the overextension to leap straight up to Gigas' face for two more spinning kicks! The pokemon's full seething attention is on Mistral and Kaku for its thwarted attacks, before...

>>5510379
>>5510382
Something in Sable's arm waving registers. It's one of the only pokemon Regigigas has ever seen more than twice now, in recent memory. And he's not attacking? And the Bewear, it speaks in intelligible code, no translation needed on the giant's end! Regigigas spares a moment to observe rather than continue fighting for Sable, and exposits in his odd native signal tones for Theo.

>>5510388
Astor does a mesmerizing jig that ends the tramplings and rushes to get up the only staircase up and out of the lowest chamber... or maybe odd is a better word. He's saved approximately 31 pokemon toes and four fallen pokemons' backs in stopping them.

>>5510387
Vee is... right up to the ceiling! He could probably reach one of the stalagmites hanging above from here, or even land on Regigigas's head if he wanted. What's the plan?

He bows briefly and picks Charles up, setting him on his head next to Castform.

>>5510415
>>5510416
The most scared of them continue to flee, a few of the attackers somehow dense enough to net Astor 500P in offerings. The majority of them are too enraged and vindictive to simply give up on this hopeless battle, and wait on Sable and Charles with baited breath.

>>5510419
Translated through an ancient, older than humanity equivalent for the real world's morse code, Theo hears in low rumbling beeps, "ORDERS RECEIVED FOR RETURN TO INDEFINITE SLUMBER. ROUTINE DISRUPTED BY: HOSTILE INTRUDERS. THEY SEEK: OUR DESTRUCTION. ENGAGING COMBAT ROUTINES FOR SELF DEFENSE." it exposits, coldly and without emotion. Is that just how it is, or does Regigigas feelings on its assault?

>>5510420
>>5510421
Regirock doesn't look like it's about to attack anymore, but it also doesn't look at all hospitable. It beeps at you a couple times.
The Misdreavus, on the other hand is shaking in place all the same. "No-nonononono... please..."

>>5510423
Sable's requests don't resonate with the giant until Arceus's name is dropped. It takes a renewed interest, finally leaning back, if still warily eyeing Kaku and Mistral.

"I don't think any of these things really pay attention to anything other than their objectives. We've encountered them before, but really. I don't think you should keep fighting and put everyone you're with at risk..."

Regigigas sits in silence for a deathly quiet minute before turning to the crowd glaring into him. It gives a couple loud, untranslated beeps before. ".........LEAVE NOW AND SURVIVE."
The crowd of not-explorers doesn't sound pleased at all, whether by their failure or their complete lack of agency between the guild and the golems. They're looking a little less convinced...
>>5510460
"It's not fair. It's not fair!" Many of them grumble.

>>5510447
The titan flinches back from the boosted cracks at it, almost throwing Mistral and Vee off its head. It gives a substitute roar at him in the form of a cacophony of beeps and buzzing. If it were the end of the turn, he'd certainly have started laying into you by now!

>>5510451
Perhaps...wait, how does Regigigas leave this chamber?

>>5510470
You already spent your turn, buster >:(

>>5510467
Regirock turns to the frightened assailants to frightened assailants in the corner of the room, and the quivering Misdreavus in front of it. Even its strangely resilient surface has received nicks and scratches from all the punishment it's taken, but they aren't threats anymore...
Regirock bows and steps back.

Mistral clings on using the same patch of moss. Looking down at the frustrated Regigigas, he whispers. "Hey, do you think you can play along?" He clears his throat. "See? I have conquered the great titan and asserted dominance by ripping off an inconsequential piece of moss from its head to show that I could do great damage if I revealed a greater amount of hidden power!"

"In your place, I have avenged Treasure Town! Well, not really, we accomplished nothing but fighting but that's sort... er, uh, go home we won!" Mistral quickly concludes, waving to the crowd to disperse them.

>>5510484
>Sable claps his hands together
Alright! Well, you heard him, let's get the fuck outta here. As in, right now.

Actually, yeah, how do you get outta here?

"You won't see him again." Theodore says. "He intends to sleep indefinitely."

He helps to herd the crowd away from the titan, wailing and mewling.

Vee's HP are mossed out. A high clinking can be heard from the ground. It's Regice, clapping.

A few beeps, and then, "LORD: ARCEUS DEPLOYS US VIA TELEPORTATION."...That's it?

Regigigas does seem to have an impression of your desire, but...
".........I HAVE BEEN TERMINATED. OWW."
Stellar.

They aren't happy, that's for certain, but it beats being buried halfway into the ground or being nicked to death by psychic curses. One might argue the 'well done' part, though.
The band of marauders pick up their wounded and KOed, and with no small amount of salt, grumpily make their way out of the pit of hazards. The Misdreavus leading the gang, is happily among the first out, fleeing with embarassment into the woods upon seeing the look and state of her crew.

Oh shit, literally me.

Nestled within the valley north of the guild and split by the river lies a town named New Hope. A young, vibrant settlement built from cut, etched stone and draped in lush greenery. The only appropriate comparison was Lively Town far off in the Water Continent. The guild had an intimidate relationship with the town as one of their members had helped built it, and for that reason they were first to be called upon for assistance.

They had been tasked by the current leader of the town, Simon the Sandslash, to investigate the hidden tunnels underneath New Hope that had become a hub for crime and anything shady, and capture a group of bandits rumored to have moved in.

But first they would need a guide- two guides actually. Simon had been mindful enough to provide the guild with 'mon familiar with the maze-like layout of the Underground to assist them. Now stepping onto the main entrance of the Underground, Fissure Street, they'd just need to find them.

The party stands at the entrance of a peculiar street, familiar to most but transformed now. It felt as if they had stepped into a different town with how the atmosphere became a few shades darker and the sudden concentration of dark, rock, and group types roaming the street. True to its name, the space was split in half by a huge fissure in the middle. Peering inside they could see levels cut into the sides and various shops, restaraunts, and more carved into its sides.

What do you do now?
> Look for the guides Simon sent. They must be here somewhere. (Requires Roll.)
> Look at the shops and stands scattered on the surface. You think you see a. . . hot dog stand?
> Look at the Araquanid and Galvantuala hiding on top of some of the roofs.

"Clearly the hot dog stand must be where we need to meet," Mistral says, moving over to investigate. They're probably not actually there, but he's genuinely curious as to why this would exist. He stands in front of the stand. "Hello. What do you, uh, sell here?"

Bind decides he can probably find his way around, guide or no. Surely they have time to take in some of the atmosphere? "Why, hello there! Yes, I would like one of your finest... things."

The party's mission to find the guide is immediately derailed when Mistral's eyes land on what looked like a hot dog stand just. . . standing there on the street. The bizarre sight soon catches the attention of the rest as they move towards the oddity.

At the stand, a Scrafty casually rolled sasuages over a sizzling stone stove and toasting buns off the side, but he's brought of his cooking flow by the sudden crowd in front of him. He cracks a lazy smile and continues to cook.
>>5514182
The Scrafty chuckles, motioning to the stove with a pair of tongs. "Can't ya' see? Or maybe you're not from 'round here, these are sausage sandwhiches. Tastiest meal you'll ever have."
>>5514186
"Hm? Oh, family secret, but mostly berries 'n stuff like that." He answers, setting aside from ready sasuages.
>>5514187
The Scrafty stops. Slowly, he turns to Bind with a look of indignation and coldly states-
"These ain't things, fluffy ears. Now, if ya' want one, it's 100P. If ya' don't then bounce off."

>>5514167
>>5514185
>>5514173
Meanwhile, Castform, Citrine, and Vee are left behind, left untempted by the promise of food- mostly because two of them lack stomaches- they go ahead to search for their guides. In that moment they realize that Simon could've left them a description or something, but he didn't. At the very least they can assume that the two must be in a pair. The trio begin to trudge through the crowd, Citrine has a hard time moving without smashing any toes and Vee has a hard time not being stepped on. Only castform is free to survey the crowd from the sky. . . and he spots a perculiar pair seemingly asking others for-

Whack! Suddenly from every side Cast is pelted with rocks, slung furiously from the archanids hiding on the roofs! He falls into a bucket of water!

>>5514167
Inbetween all of the foot traffic, Vee hears something.

"OI! ARE YOU 'BIND'?! I'M LOOKING FER A 'BIND'! NO? THEN BUGGER OFF!" He hears something shout incoherently followed by a meek whisper. "h-hey, maybe we should back to the entrance?"
"BUT WE WAS JUST THERE BRUV! WHY WOULD THEY SHOW UP NOW?!"

Rolled 20 (1d20)

>Cast has landed in the water.
>and immediately sets sun, floating back up with a fire typing fucking pissed at the bugs
what the hell was that for! I was just minding my own business and you bastards assaulted me for no good reason!

>>5514246
"I'll take three! And thanks!" Seems he only heard fluffy as a compliment, holding his ear. He offers up 300P in coins, ready to taste Fissure Street's unique offerings.

He wanders off towards the noise once he has his 'whiches.

>>5514246
"Big words, but does your cooking back them up?" >Kaku hands over 200P for two sausage sandwiches!

>>5514246
"Obviously I'm not from here, alas, I am a visitor from the deep reaches of Ultra Space, a residence of the last city of light, Ultra Megalopolis," Mistral explains, most likely lying. "But, uh, yeah, I'm good. I already ate. I just wanted to see what this was."

He leaves to go reunite with the others.

>>5514246
Citrine uses Wide Guard to give himself some space and prevent anyone from getting their toes stepped on, but his gaze snaps to Castform as the orb is assaulted. "What in the world's going on?! Who did that??"

>>5514266
Someone up high! looks to be a bunch of bug types!

Rolled 2 (1d20)

Vee's ear twitches, hearing the conversation about 'Bind.'
He diligently follows the source of the voice, trying his best to make it by the crowds without getting his tail stepped on.
Vee has entered investigation mode! Find the source of the voice!

>>5514251
>>5514252
The Scrafty nods and takes their money before preparing their plates in a dash with condiments and everything. Taking a bite- it tastes delicious! Juicy and savory, although the texture is. . . off in a way you can't describe.

>>5514188
Scrafty glances at Stern and hands him a sausage sandwich. "Ya' look hungry, c'mon back next time with some cash."

>>5514251
>>5514252
>>5514261
The group reunites with Citrine who is practically plowing through the crowds now that he now longer has to fret over stepping on anyone's toes- although a few have swung at his Wide Guard for no reason. Perhaps they see it as a challenge? Either way, everyone has returned to the bedrock of the team.

>>5514268
Cast has become the sun itself. Many in the crowd flinch at the sudden brightness and shuffle off down a level where its darker. The Araquanid and Galvatula however are briefly blinded, they turn away, visibly tensed and glancing at each other as if to ask if this a battle that they really want to fight? With a shake form the Araquanid, the answer is no.
It lets out an angry click from its mandibles. "Your business is not welcome here. This is Dark Web territory," it warns, scurrying away with its partner into the safety of an alley way.

>>5514272
Despite his quick moves and superb hearing, the voices are growing distant, far away. How are they moving so fast aren't they slowed by the crowd too? Maybe they're just small. Another clue for Vee if he doesn't lose them.

>>5514288
"Have we found them yet?"

Rolled 3 (1d20)

"Ooh, fast track!" Bind follows the parting crowd, only to find Citrine at the front. There's too much visual stimuli to get one's bearings, so instead Bind tries focusing his hearing on anything of note...
"Here Citrine, this way!... I think.

Citrine walks up to Bind while conversing with Cast. "Oh, I am? Good, but. uh... I... think we still need to find those guides. What do we need to do, send up a signal flare??"

>>5514305
roof bugs said something about dark web territory, presuming lots of bug types along that line. rock beats bug.

With the group reunited save for Vee, their brave and genius guildmaster. . . pick a direction at random to investigate! With Citrine's wonderful Wonder Guard there's no issue of bumping into one- or anyone groping Mistral's tails are a few houndoor try to. Kaku is outside the shielding, but his swagger and menacing aura gathers him envious looks of respect. It feels like home!

But despite their easy stroll around the place, there's no guides to be seen. That's when Bind gets a bright idea! He'll just attract their attention with food! He climbs on top of Citrine, waving the sandwiches for all to see!. . . It gathers many weird glances at the eccentric display, but Bind feels something crawl his back onto his head, Vee! With their observational powers combined. . . They make Captain Vee! And they finally spot a strange duo running around, a galarian zigzagoon and a ralts.

"OI! LOOK BRUV! IT'S SOME OF 'EM DELISH 'WHICHES!" The zigzagoon yells, it sounds so raspy and deep that it couldn't belong to a 'mon so small.
"h-hey, i think that's the lopunny we're looking for zig-" the ralts tries to interject but is cut off.
"'IM?! HE DON'T LOOK LIKE NO GUILDLEADER! LET'S GO ASK!" The two are quickly approaching, the zigzagoon speaks like a football hooligan and the ralts speaks like a shy kid.

"So, fearless leader! Where should we look next for our guides?" He looks down at Citrine. You're such a great guildmaster, there's no way you could lead us astray! Praise aniki!" He exposits, as loudly as possible.

"Bind, what...?" Citrine starts, but catches on as he realizes the guildmaster is reacting to the demeanor of the Zigzagoon and plays along. "Oh. I'm not sure, but it seems like they're not anywhere around here. Gonna need to have a chat with Simon about the 'mons he chooses..."

"i-its 'lost hope'." The Ralts corrects his friend, giving a tiny way to the intimidate group of adventurer's.
"AH, OH WAIT IT'S THAT BIG ROCK EH? OI! ARE YOU THE GUILDLEADER?!" It yells at Citrine- is. . . is he incapable of speaking normally? His Galarian accent is so atrociously thick that only Castform can discern wether he's being friendly or hostile.

If it's still down by tomorrow then i'm going to assume we have migrated

god

give it a couple hours/days, and check back in both here and element. We'res not gonna be a discord server if I can help it.

a couple of us are in that backup already, myself included, though.

there is absolutely zero shot I am joining a discord unless it's a last resort. waiting sounds like a good plan to me

no its just having connectivity issues, as of right now its currently working

Previously! On The Mystery Dungeons!
The Lost Hope Guild was contacted by the de facto leader of New Hope to help weed out a nasty band of bandits from the town's shady underground and sent two guides to aid their navigation. Searching for these two guides, the party eventually found a strange pair: A boisterous Galarian Zigzagoon and meek Ralts. But upon hearing the repulsive accent of the Zigzagoon, guildmaster Bind faked his own fainting in broad daylight!

Now with their guides found and shock, can the party venture into the seedy underbelly of New Hope and capture the criminals? Or will they cave under the pressure?

Find out- Now!

The Zigzagoon and Ralts stare in frozen shock at the still body of the fallen Lopunny. The crowd around them pauses for a moment to stare in confusion and worry before moving further as if to avoid any association with the criminal scene.

Zigzagoon is breathing hard, looking around before spotting a sufficiently dark alley way and pointing towards it!

"'THERE! WE'LL JUST HIDE THE BODY BEFORE SUMBODY RESPECTABLE FINDS IT AND REPORTS US TO THE BOBBIES!" He panickily shouts, slipping underneath of Citrine's legs to snag Bind's write fluff.

The Ralts is still unsure what to do, looking between Mistral and Kaku before running over, nearly tripping on her dress-skin, to help her diminutive move the bunny body. "r-right! heave! we've still got to get the rest to the Block Market!"

"He'll be fine. He likes to do this. An individual with a flair for the overly dramatic," Mistral explains.

>>5522671
>>5522673
Charles offers to help, but ends up just carrying Bind by himself into dark alley- there seem to be plenty of those here, just spaces between shops and homes where the light suddenly dims as if to mask whatever is going on in there. The Lopunny is heftier than normal but Vee's judgmental stare gives him the motivation to work those arms!

"t-thanks a lot sir. it'd look really bad if magneton caught us with another unconscious 'mon." The Ralts said, struggling to keep up the big dragon.

"YEAH! THANKS A MILLION BRUV! COPPERS ARE REAL MIFFED WITH US!" Zigzagoon barks, turning to Vee and smiling. His face looks like it belongs on a KISS album.

>>5522675
"OH, HE'S A FAIRY TOO? TSK TSK." He shakes his head, patting some stone stairs to lay down Lope on.

Now calmed down, the pair turn to the rest of the party with bright smiles. "y-you're Lost Hope right? Mr. Simon asked us to help you around the Underground."
"ROIGHT, AND THERE'S NO BETTER THAN US. ZIGGY AND TOOTS!" He shouts, striking a pose, paws out with a lean in the opposite direction like a poor man's dab. Toots does the same, with only a hint of shame underneath those green bangs.

>>5522708
"Uh, okay. Nice to meet you two. Mistral." He taps his chest. "Me, that's me. I'm Mistral. So what exactly is the problem down here that warranted... us?"

>>5522708
"Ziggy?"
>Charles asks
"And Toots? Haven't heard names like those before."

>Charles tips his hat
"Regardless! Greetings, pleasure to meet you! My name is Charles. You can take us where Simon needs us?"

>>5522708
Vee nods. He understands, fully.

>>5522713
"Hi Charles. Nice to meet you." He is enjoying himself, as usual. Vee sits next to Charles and waits for an explanation. These are Simon's guys..?

>>5522715
"Heh heh! Nice to meet you too Vee!"
>Charles repositions Bind's unconscious body for a better hold

>>5522719
"How do you know my name?" Vee kicks at the ground idly.

>>5522723
"I have knowledge of many individuals."
>Charles says, matter-of-factly! With a fake smarmy face as well!

>>5522711
>>5522713
>>5522715
"w-well. . ." Toots begins, climbing up the stone stair steps until she's at least at Mistral's level. "mr. simon likes to look over the town since it's so big and so many 'mon live here. e-even the bad ones. . ."

Ziggy nods, hopping up the stairs and continuing. "YUP! THERE'S SOME NASTY BUGGERS DOWN 'ERE, BUT 'EY KEEP TO 'EM SELVES. 'CEPT- 'POSEDLY SOME BANDITS LEAD BY 'IS GAR THE GLISCOR MOVE IN." He explains, his accent growing horribly thick that triggers some sort of fight or flight in the group's body.

"r-right! magneton is even looking for them so mr. simon sent a letter asking for your help!" Toots finishes explaining.

>>5522729
"Ah, I see!"
>Charles rubs his chin with his free hand
"So where might we find this unscrupulous individual?"

>>5522729
>>5522738
"Yup. Let's try to get this outlaw booted out of here and ha--passed off to Magnezone, before the sun decides to try and leave us. I'm thinking that's possible..." Mistral adds. He nods with Charles' question. "Any frequent spots? Routes they like to take? Hold-outs?"

>>5522738
>>5522747
"we don't know, most of the tunnels are fought over by gangs and territory changes almost every other week. . . w-we could check the block market! that's a big hub were we could ask questions." Toots suggests, raising a mitt in the air.

"OR 'EM DARK WEB 'NIDS. THEY CRAWL THROUGH MOST OF THE TUNNELS, THEY'LL KNOW WHO'S WHO AND WHERE'S WHERE."

Citrine is here and definitely has been this entire time!

>>5522759
"They were just pretty hostile at us, so I'm not sure if they'd be much help. But maybe if they're paid?"

>>5522759
"That sounds like a serious problem to even be having in the first place! How... did it become rife with such... anarchy?"

>>5522759
"Sounds like a good idea!"

>>5522764
"Or not."
"But if there aren't any other leads, perhaps we just need to take the plunge."

>>5522765
"I dunno, but it sounds like a fun time to me."

>>5522771
"...I have to admit, it sort of does."

>>5522766
"Yeah, they're the most specific lead we have. I don't mind... too much."

>>5522764
Ziggy gives Citrine an odd, confused look as if what he just say didn't compute at all in that rocker head of his. "WHY WOULD 'EY DO THAT? WERE YOUS DELIVERING SOMETHING FOR THE PELIPPER? IF YOU WERE THAN THAT'S YOUR FAULT. WE DON'T LIKE THAT 'ERE." He warns Citrine, a chest tightening anxiety audible in his loud voice.

>>5522765
Toots claps her mitts together as if to draw attention. "i-i know! i know!" She nods quickly and stumbles to the edge of the stairs towards Mistral. "w-when treasure town was attacked by that nasty regigigas, a lot of 'mon where left without a home and found shelter here in new hope! . . . e-except there wasn't enough space for everyone so we found a way into the tunnels under the streets and some 'mon from gangster gulch arrived. . ."

>>5522771
"YEAH! IT WAS EASY PICKINGS! LOTS OF 'MON READY TO DO DIRTY WORK AND NO ONE TO TELL US OFF! ITS GREAT." Ziggy beams, wagging his black and white tail.

>>5522766
>>5522774
"d-don't worry. . the block market is the safest part! and rock bottom isn't that bad either if you keep your head down. . ."

>>5522783
"Then I guess I'll just have to do my best, huh?" Vee smiles.
He checks his supplies. "I'm good to go."

>>5522783
"Good to know. I'll still keep an e-*antenna* out for trouble. Care to lead the way?"

>>5522783
Stern has always been here, whatever are you talking about?
>>5522801
"I'm sure my nose will know about any trouble as well!"

>>5522812
"Ah! I'm sure you'll beat me to the punch then! Your nose has been quite excellent at finding a scent."

>>5522783
"No, we weren't. Why don't you like the Pelipper, though?" Citrine wonders aloud.

>>5522798
"Try not to fraternize with the criminal element when we're on business, eh?" Mistral jokes.

>>5522783
"Block? Market? If you say so..." He waves. "Lead the way."

"Criminals beat up other criminals all the time, why would now be any different? Ehehe..."

Vee does he pre-crime stretches.

>>5522827
"DARK WEB DON'T LIKE PELIPPER MAIL. THEY'LL CHUCK ROCKS AT YA IF YOU DON'T USE THE BOSS'S SER-VI-CES." It's visible by his shaking that he is deeply uncomfortable discussing this.

Toots seems to share his sentiment eyeing her partner constantly as he speak before waving her hands in the air. "a-alright! alright! if we're all ready then we'll lead you in. make sure not to look anyone in the eye, t-they may take it as a challenge."

>>5522828
With the party gathered and informed of their mission, the pair lead them into the seedy under belly of New Hope's Underground. . . by lifting a loose tile on the paved floor to reveal a stairway underneath to some dark, foreboding tunnel. The first thing that comes to mind besides the sketchy feeling that crawls over the party's skin like grime is- who the heck would make a secret entrance here of all places?

Slipping inside a dim tunnel illuminated only by a glowing blue moss above, Ziggy and Toots guide the party through the seemingly endless lefts and rights, ups and downs scattered randomly. Citrine blends into the dark so frequently that the less perceptive of the group such as Stern and Vee bump into him regularly. Meanwhile, Mistral's coat is so shiny that the stray rattatta and pinsir pause their wandering to stare.

"NOW! REMEMBER- THEY 'LAAAW' DON'T APPLY 'ROUND 'ERE BUT THAT DON'T MEAN THAT YOU CAN GO 'ROUND ACTING LIKE A FOOL. IF YOU TICK OFF THE WRONG PERSON THEY WILL TEACH YOU A LESSON." Ziggy warns looking at Citrine in particular.

"a-and remember not to mess with the mail'mon! very important!" Toots adds.

"ROIGHT. DON'T MESS WITH THE MAIL'MON."

After what must've half an hour or so treading through the dark, they finally arrive at a gallery, a grand open chamber full of tents, stands, and buildings built in huge stone blocks. Droves of seedy dark, poison, bug, and other types that enjoyed such a humidly shady place filled the chamber. A concentrated mass of suspecious 'mon wandering about freely. There was a palpable tension and excitement in the air that seem to keep everyone in check, but upon stepping foot in, plenty turned to look at the fresh meat that walked in.

"Best not to draw any more attention to ourselves... or maybe that would be the best idea? Openly challenge who we're looking for... what say you, perfectly normal Eevee?" He asks Vee, eyeing the pun headquarters.

"I say we try it, and then we don't let them know what hit 'em." Vee is thinking of all the different ways to draw out who they're looking for... most of them involve causing some 'quiet chaos' and waiting for everyone to come running.
>Inspect Dark Web HQ

>>5522876
"They can try," Citrine mutters. He treads carefully behind Mistral, towards this 'Dark Web HQ'.

"Kinda dingy..."

>>5522921
>>5522895
>>5522891
Paying no mind to petty distractions, Citrine, Vee, and Mistral head directly for the Dark Web HQ nestled in the corner of the market. Like many of the prominent buildings, it seem to be carved out of the many literal blocks of stone that lay about in the gallery. Are they natural? They don't look clean enough to have been cut- but those are questions for another time.

Approaching the building, Mistral is the first to note some oddities. For an HQ, there was little security as people came in and out freely with letters and packages tucked away from sight. It was also crawling with arachnids of every type, bustling and busy. If they wanted to enter, there was no one to stop them.

>>5522881
>>5522885
Meanwhile, Stern and Charles step aside, lead by their curiosity to a mural painted with thick paint on a smoother portion of the chamber's wall. It didn't look ancient, simply primitive but with clear effort put into it. Many people stood around it, relaxing or tossing coins into the cold ponds beneath it.

Depicted on the mural was various 'mon that looked to all be criminals. A krookodile snarling intimidatingly, a spiritomb with boxes abound, a hoopa sitting on a pile of coins, and a delibird delivering the mail.

Huh. . .

>>5522941
He looks back to Vee and Citrine. "What do you say we do? Just head inside? It seems they've got packages, and the guide warned us not to mess with 'mail mons.' I don't think we can tamper with anything, but we might as well try to glean something."

"I see spiritomb...that..Hoopa whose name I cant remember right now, and Debby."

>He looks at the Krookodile
"Don't know who that is however...."

>Charles looks for a passerby to ask about the mural

>>5522941
>>5522944
"The packages would be a pretty good way in... but would that be messing with the mailmons?" Vee puts a paw below his mouth and thinks. "The spiders might have a different way of getting back and forth that'd be harder for us..."

>>5522953
"You're a bit stealthier than me... do you think you could scope it out?"

>>5522970
Vee smiles. "I can do my best." It's not immediately apparent that he's smiling because that's his normal expression.

>>5522941
Vee waltzes on in, looking confident, like he owns the place. There's nothing less suspicious than a mon who thinks he knows literally everything.

"I'll just wait back here and look intimidating at them. Maybe a distraction if you need it, whatever, just let me know," Citrine says softly.

True to his word, Citrine stands tall somewhat near the entrance, looking stony. Next to a bunch of Bug-types, this'll surely be effective, right?

(+2 Intimidation)

>>5522941
"I wonder who they are... Well, we know that Spiritomb at least!"

>>5522972
Vee strides inside with a certain swagger that immediately tells everybody that not only does he belong here- he's a big shot to boot. Inside though- is a rather familiar sight. It's a post office, albeit a seedier one than one might expect anywhere else with dimly lit bulbs of moss illuminating the light purple walls of place. There were plenty of 'mon waiting against the wall either to deliver or receive a package, joltik and spinrak scurrying across the counter top like made to deliver letter while the Aquanid behind handed out larger packages.

Thankfully for Vee, it seemed that his sheer presence put off the weaker willed customers who decided to simply come back at another time. Reasoning that some gang member on the up and up might cause a scene. . . especially with the muscle posted outside.

>>5522980
Said muscle, Citrine was standing at the gate. Unflinching, but with 'eyes' that could bore a hole through lesser 'mon- heck maybe even through the cave walls. 'Mon in a rush took one glance at the stone sentinel and decided that it wasn't worth finding out if it was business as usual or 'business'.

>>5522948
>>5522989
Charles and Stern manage to catch the attention of a Sableye munching on some limestone. At first she's suspicious of their sudden interest, but decides to comply with their simple request rather than cause a fight that could turn ugly.

She's quite the talker actually, and goes on a long-winded explanation about the various crime bosses that had a stake in the illicit business here trying to stack gold like the Aussie the Krookodile who owned the largest territory in the Underground since day one, the mysterious 'Salesmon' who sold the most exotic and bewildering items- a favorite among gamblers, Seedside- who wile not actually doing business here had a near universal respect for his sheer wealth and sense of humor. . .

"And finally Debby. Phew, she's a real nasty gal. Muscled her way into the transport scene and took over most of it. It's amazing how much terror you can fit in someone so small." She shivers.

It's a short walk back, but Charles and Stern reunite with Mistral and Citrine outside the Dark Web HQ. There's a handful of 'mon waiting a ways away from the building, idly checking on the two as if curious but wary of what might happen if they got too close. That Gigalith is very intimidating and can spot all the arachnid crawling out from the cracks of the gallery roof into the post office behind him.

Inside, Vee is dealing with a tired Araquanid. "Sir, what do you want? We're very busy 'mon."

"Hi guys!"

"Hi hi! It's such a nice day, isn't it? Do you have a package for my friend Galvantula? He's a Galvantula, he's really big, and cool, and nice, and I told him I'd pick up his mail! You look like you've got PLENTY of mail!" He is taking the annoying but harmless route, which has been known to catch countless innocent mons off-guard. Will this over-worked spider be able to survive?

His tail wags behind him, and he bounces idly. He's really into the act. He's got a billion other made-up friends to list off until he finally gets a package.

"I have trouble gauging it. I'm not sure if it's got the same vibe as the gulch or if I'm merely mistaken."

>>5532524
The Araquanid stares at him, eyes blinking slowly before the Eevee is suddenly plucked from the floor and thrown onto the counter. "You expect me to believe that? C'mon! The least you can do is give me convincing performance!" It chitters angrily.

"What's your angel twerp? Here to steal someone's mail?"

Charles detects that 'mon that were waiting for something to happen have moved- shuffling about until their steps are faint or muffled behind a wall or some other corner. . . There's a trio approaching? One of them sounds like they're ruffling and another like clinking.

"Hey, you guys hear something from inside? I hope Vee isn't causing trouble!"

". . ." Araquanid stares at Vee for a good long moment. If he had rolled anything below a 20 he wouldn't have believed it. Maybe this was Galvantula's friend? He had been feeling under the weather recently and business policy stated that a sick mailmon was a bad mailmon. . .

The Araquianid lets out a disgrunted click. "Fine, but if I get a complaint about missing mail then its a bounty on your head." The spider makes another clicking sound and soon a group of spinarak come with a package. "Here, one package for Galvantula. Sign here."

Vee signs the package to the best of his ability. His signature is simply an Eevee paw. He debates whether or not he should truly sign it under his own identity... before smiling even more as he leaves the star-shaped imprint of Wish in the middle of the paw. A bounty sounds nice!

"Thank you thank you!" He waits to accept the mail parcel. He's going to find a more private space, look inside to see what it is, and then leave it there, with his signature broadcasted for all to see.
