Have that Poury-gon pop back in your head and drive you crazy.
047.gif

Oh no, not again! Your increased ALCOHOL LEVEL makes it difficult to get the thought out of your head. Who is Pourygon? What is Pourygon? Why is Pourygon?

You waste several minutes zoned out thinking about this.


>Well, since you’re not interested in PROVING YOUR STRENGTH in the forest, we might as well socialize. Of course, Sparkles and Fuse are back in town again… better skedaddle before they see you.
> See who else is still left at the bar

It looks like everyone has left except for Zor. He runs the local daycare and hatchery. It looks like he stopped here for lunch with his two full-time charges, Avey (the shuppet) and Myoshi (the phantump). After a moment of consideration, you decide that it would be a good idea to give him a heads-up about the situation outside. The kids may be ghosts, but you're not sure it would be a good idea to let them see the wounded sneasel right now. You wave a paw to get Zor's attention, then head over to speak with him. His voice is as monotone as always.

Baru: Hey Zor, can I talk to you for a moment?
Zor: Be my guest. What can I do for you?
Baru: I just, uh, wanted to let you know that there was a scene going on outside. Looks like Fuse and Sparkles found and injured traveler and brought him back for help. They were still in the square when I looked. You might want to take the kids back the long way.
Zor: That is useful information. Thank you, Baru.
Baru: ...
Zor: Did you need something else? Or were you hoping for a bite of my cake.
Baru: No! No. I just got to wondering how the eggs are doing.
Zor: Ah. Well, I have good news. One of them looks to be just days from hatching. Isn't that wonderful?
Baru: It is. It is.
Zor: Perhaps one day you'll be ready to have eggs of your own.
Baru: ...
Zor: ...
Baru: Uh... change of subject. Hey, Avey. What are you drawing?
Avey: Mmmshi.
Zor: I think he means, Myoshi.
Avey: Mhmm!
Baru: That's adorable. And what about you, Myoshi? What are you up to.
Myoshi: I stay still as death, posed for my dark portrait. But even the master artist cannot capture the depths of my tormented soul.
Baru: ...
Baru: U-uh... that's... nice?
Myoshi: R-really? I've been practicing my poetry.
Zor: Indeed, and I think he's been getting quite good.
Baru: U-um... sure!
Baru: Anyways, I should probably get going.

> Contemplate praying that you can avoid Sparkles coming into the bar

You turn to leave, hoping to slip past Sparkles and the commotion outside undetected. But to your horror, Sparkles and Fuse enter the bar. This presents a problem. You cannot exit without walking past them, something that's sure to cause an awkward conversation. What will you do?

Put on your emergency Sparkles-avoider disguise and run!!!

You don't have a disguise in your BAG!

You have one good idea.

You have zero good ideas.

Baru: H-hey Sparkles. What are you doing here?
Sparkles: I could ask you the same thing.
Baru: W-well I was just getting lunch is all.
Sparkles: What a coincidence, so are we! We could eat together.
Baru: ...
Sparkles: By the way, what happened to your date?
Baru: O-oh, him? I kinda got stood up. What a disappointment right?
Sparkles: *giggle*
Baru: What's so funny?
Sparkles: Nothing, nothing.
Sparkles: It's just.
Sparkles: You're really committed to the bit. I wish I had a fake boyfriend to get me out of obligations!

Uh Oh, the jig is up.

Conflicting explanations rush through your mind.
