"Will you be quiet?" she hissed. "Adults are talking."
"They sure are. I'm 25 and you're a pansy-ass bird, so I have no idea what yer goin' on about."

full disclosure, i’m kind of intentionally keeping my distance from this game in the interest of not getting hopelessly sucked into it. trying to just have a good time, and getting too invested will make me have the opposite of that. not that i’m not going to try to play the game, and i have been, but i dunno if comparing my level of investment here to past games is the way.

I kind of did a similar thing in the last game, so I gotcha.

Oh. It was a joke. It seemed like at least that girl with the green hair trusted him...

(fyi, Amy has yellow hair but was mentioned to be currently wearing a green dress)

"U-um...I-I can only send one m-message during the n-night, but...th-there are certain th-things about it I p-probably shouldn't s-say," Gen said, trembling.
Rui thought. And thought some more. And then, with a deep breath, she finally spoke.

“I…wasn’t sure if I should say anything, because I didn’t want to put myself in danger. But Gen speaking up gave me the courage to do that, too.” She gave the Pokémon a small smile. “I’m not sure I should reveal all the details, but I can send messages in the night, too. There’s limits to them, though. I’m not sure if Gen and I have the same responsibilities, or if they’re a little different from each other. And…that’s all I can say, for now.”

Guzma knotted his brows. Well, so much for running back and changing. Now we got people admitting shit.

"Soooooooo......either you both can do this prank call thing nobody seems to want to give deets on, or you have some funky roles that let ya do that? Wild."

Gen's eyes widened. So he wasn't the only one who could send messages? That's...huh.

His grip on his scalchop wavered as he saw more and more people come to the store. He was happy to not be alone, but...the white-haired man and Yveltal were scaring him.

"They sure are. I'm 25 and you're a pansy-ass bird, so I have no idea what yer goin' on about."

"I've had enough of you testing my patience, little man." Mademoiselle growled. She noticed that another girl had spoken up, something she'd have to address as soon as she was done taking out the trash. Making no effort to make him comfortable, Mademoiselle dragged the pathetic man a bit further into the main square before flinging him far towards the other side. With a satisfied huff, she returned to discuss more prevailing matters.

"So we have two people who can send messages, hm?" Mademoiselle turned to regard the girl with pigtails. "Did you send such a message last night, or did you also hold off from doing so?"

Mademoiselle shook her head. "I do not have that ability, I only wished to get a more complete image over what happened overnight to give us a better idea of what is going on. The night messaging was the first thing to come to mind, especially after the girl behind you insinuated that she'd received a message, though I admit I must've misinterpreted her words."

The commotion seemed to have died down, though if it had continued, Steven likely wouldn't have noticed. He brought hand to his chin. "How interesting. Then I'm wondering how I got that message last night, if it can even be called a message. It was completely indecipherable, just a jumble of words that amounted to nothing more than what looked like an advertisement. It certainly felt like a prank, though I'm not one to simply dismiss it. After all, it lead me to discovering that lovely little cafe. However..."

Steven's gaze finally landed on one person in particular. The other girl, similar in height to Amy, but much more... vibrant. "You now also say you can send messages like Gen. I commend you on being cautious with this information, but I'm not sure that being the sender of a message would place you in danger..."

Steven sighed. This had happened last time as well. Being caught in the same position with nothing but his wits to defend himself.

"This very well may be a bad idea, and you can refrain from answering if you so choose, but, Mademoiselle @Inkedust , did your buddy also receive a message last night? You don't have to reveal their identity, just a simple yes or no will do."

Gods have mercy. That terrifying bird had just thrown Guzma—that had to be at least twenty feet, right? And now she was towering over her, demanding answers. Rui felt her blood run cold.

Still, she refused to let it show. She raised her chin and unflinchingly met the Pokémon’s gaze. “Yes, ma’am. I sent a message last night. I’m not sure what it was supposed to accomplish, but I figured I might as well use it if it can be helpful.”

It was completely indecipherable, just a jumble of words that amounted to nothing more than what looked like an advertisement.

Salem's ears perked up.

"Indecipherable? If you share what it was, maybe it'll mean something to someone here."

"How interesting. Then I'm wondering how I got that message last night, if it can even be called a message. It was completely indecipherable, just a jumble of words that amounted to nothing more than what looked like an advertisement.

"The messages are claimed to be limited in some way, could it be possible that someone is trying to hide some kind of code within those limitation in an attempt to communicate?"

Rui frowned. “That…can’t have been my message, then. What I sent was very clear. Unless…someone interfered with it before you got it?”

He was gone for a while after that. So much so, one might have assumed he died with the force of the throw. Far from the case, however. If anything, he never felt more alive with the deep set fucking rage he felt. All he was trying to do was figure shit out with everyone else, and that goddamn priss had to throw him.

Well, at least he knew for sure she wasn't a mirage. Which would make what he was about to do next that much easier.

"GOLISOPOD, USE FIRST IMPRESSION."

From where he stood in the square, near the inn he'd just come back out of, a bloody-nosed Guzma let loose his prized Pokemon. The giant waterbug emerged from its Pokeball and hit the ground running. With a hissing roar, it ran up on that fucking bird and clocked her right upside the head before she had enough time to react.

"TAKE THAT, PANSY. ASS. BIRD."

He spit some blood out of his mouth, and wiped what dripped from his nose. A violent grin crossed his lips.

"Of fuckin' course not. I don't give a fuck WHAT you are," he said. "I'm Guzma motherfucking Kahele, and I'm not scared of a goddamn thing."

He turned back toward Golisopod, who looped back from their opening attack.

"Brace for a tantrum from the eAtEr oF sOuLs," he scoffed.

Rui jumped out of the way as a giant bug Pokemon rammed into Mademoiselle. Mew’s Marbles! A battle? Here? Now, of all times?

At least Guzma seemed relatively unharmed. Unharmed and angry.

She took several large paces backwards until she was standing next to—what was his name? Steven? He looked vaguely familiar, too, but she couldn’t put her finger on it.

“You know,” she joked weakly, “maybe we don’t have to worry about the bad guys if everyone’s just going to kill each other first.”

…That…sounded funnier in her head.

Salem's ears perked up.

"Indecipherable? If you share what it was, maybe it'll mean something to someone here."
Steven frowned. "As indecipherable as the message was, I am hesitant to reveal all of the specifics... I have attempted to hint at the language of the message as subtly as I could, assuming the sender would be looking for who got their message."

"Not to my knowledge."



"I see. Well, I think you might've found your recipient,"
Mademoiselle said, nodding to Steven. Though something else caught her attention.



"The messages are claimed to be limited in some way, could it be possible that someone is trying to hide some kind of code within those limitation in an attempt to communicate?"
Steven's hand returned to his chin, but the frown remained. "From the structure of the message, I am inclined to agree, it did feel like some kind of code. However, there was no key or any other information in order to figure out exactly how it was coded."

Rui frowned. “That…can’t have been my message, then. What I sent was very clear. Unless…someone interfered with it before you got it?”
Steven turned his attention to where the red haired girl had backed herself in an effort to stay clear of the fracas that Steven was ignoring with practiced ease. "Excuse me, but I'm curious. Was the message you sent last night very short?"
