Seekers
"This is Union...?"
They stop outside the gates and exchange a glance. Moments later, the Warp Band network across Union switches on to broadcast a message, displaying two strangers, similar enough to be siblings apart from their stereotypical color schemes. The man in blue speaks first.
"You guys mind opening up? It's been a long trek; we can't all just align with Ponyta and gallop across a desert."
"Though I'll bet Ponyta are less grumpy to travel with than this guy. How about we introduce ourselves? I'm Maeve."
"Ceilto. We're here representing a group called the Seekers, from the branch up in Caldera. You guys hear anything about us yet?"
A short expectant pause before Maeve smiles. "No problem. I'll explain! What we do is seek out information about the old gods. You know, the ones that a lot of people worship or hate depending on who you are and where you're from. The ones who're in the legends, buuut other than that, we don't really know much about them. So! Our Boss wanted us to come here to do some digging."
"Yeah. You'll meet him sooner or later, but the Boss-man wants to start up a new chapter here if he can - heard you guys built your whole city on top of some old ruins."
Both of them look more enthused as the topic shifts to the Old City. "We don't know how deep you guys have gotten or how much you know, but we thought that maybe, just maybe, there might be some information down there. We want to help check it out!"
Ceilto holds up a finger. "We heard those Team Evolution nuts've been around already. If you're worried we're like them at all, don't be. We're interested in learning more about the old gods, not in catching them and rubbing on a Pokéball for three wishes. But you can kick us out anyway if you feel like it - long as you let us borrow your artifacts now and then."
He receives a sock in the shoulder for his troubles. "Arg, don't tell them to just kick us out when we haven't even gotten in! ...But yeah, those Team Evolution guys? Far from what we're here to do."
"We've got a few expeditions you might be interested in, too, since you guys've got some more tricks up your sleeves than the Calderans. Small groups, though - we don't need a hundred of you coming along with us and getting killed when you blunder around and collapse it on your heads."
"Oh good grief. Don't listen to him. We do have some favors to ask, but what we're asking for isn't that dangerous. No one is going to get killed. ...Probably."
The man grins mischievously. "Probably. ...Yep. ...Well, that's about all. We'll be by the gates if you've got any questions. ...As soon as someone lets us in, c'mon already."
"Maybe if you stopped acting like that, they will."
The conversation devolves into meaningless bickering before the Warp Band unceremoniously switches off.
((Respond as you please! Thread jacking will likely occur. Don't feel the need to wait for both characters to respond before you do; it will be in and out!))

Ceilto deadpans.
"...Anyway, do you really think they would have sent some amateurs to scope an entire new civilization?"

I'm Peter Parker by the way. Ranger and Pokémon Researcher. I might actually be interested in one of those expeditions.

Nice to meet you, Peter. We'll be explaining all of that a little later, but you should know now it'll be dangerous.
no subject
Nice to meet ya! Don't worry: no matter how dangerous it is we're going to try our best to make sure that no one dies.
no subject
And I mean that literally.
no subject
Not that we're all that worried, but. Just sayin'.
