It was nearing the end of a long week at the Medical Center. Henry had realized that it had been a while since he had done any exploring, and that was sad. After writing up a quick note to tape to the door of the morgue ("Back tomorrow if I'm not dead! -Dr. H"), he grabbed Ghostface from his daily routine of tipping mops onto people and headed off. Though he decided to make a quick warp band call while he walked his way there.

[Voice]
"Hi there! It's recently been brought to me that my friend Ghastly, Ghostface, has been floating around the medical center, dropping things on people while I'm at work. I wanted to ask anyone who has had something dropped on them, Were you surprised? Would you say he's doing a good job? On a level from gust of wind to Poltergeist? I really want to make sure he's developing his prank skills right!"

[Action|The Forest Shrine]
Henry loved the forest Shrine, there were always rumors of dead people and ghosts around, and he really wanted to meet a ghost.

A real ghost, not a Pokemon ghost like ghostface.

He walked around a bit, Ghostface floating slightly behind him.

"Helloooooooooo any dead people around? I'd really want to talk to you!"

That was the hardest work I've done in my life... but also the most rewarding.

[She sighs, sounding tired, but at the same time refreshed.]

I did my first day of work at the agricultural tower today. I know it doesn't sound like a big deal, but it was for me. I got to see how the food we eat makes its way to the markets, and help plant and harvest things. I know it's all basic knowledge, but you don't get an idea of the grand scope of things until you actually do it! It's fascinating, I can't wait to add this to my notes later! I just wish I would have had the time to do sketches while I was there.

[There's something a bit different in the way she talks. There's still a certain cadence to it, but it seems a bit less uptight. After some very sound advice, Lux has decided that the best way to blend in is to actually observe how normal citizens speak, and she's starting to pick it up.]

[Shopping! Lux earned a bit of money from her day job--although not nearly as much as she thought she would--and instead of hitting the richer side of town, she's decided to take a bit of advice and dress down a little, to try to blend in.

She'll flit from one shop to the next, a very impatient, snippy Dratini in tow. Someone things this is a waste of her time, but is enduring it because it's what her human wishes. That doesn't mean she won't belly-ache about it.]

Participating Characters: Jade Curtiss, Imogen Moreno, Flynn, Chris Ramirez, Ezreal, Melaka Fray, William Flemming, Varun "Banzu" Elmas, Eren Jaeger, Armin Arlert, Elhaym van Houten (Elly), Ondorus Univir, Lux Crownguard...possibly more! Feel free to gatecrash the party at any time.
Plot Description: A group of intrepid explorers set out in search of an iron mine. Things probably don't go as expected.
Warnings/Notes: Possible violence?

QUICK LINKS: Pre-exploration mingling | Travel | Arrival at Caverns | Group 1 | Group 2 | Group 3

Overview:
At 6AM, the group will be meeting at the city gates, where there'll be some time for mingling and last minute emergencies before they set off.

The group will travel east through the Verdant Forest for around half a day before reaching the Caverns. It will be freezing with a few flurries of snowfall. Try not to get lost! Or disturb hibernating Pokemon, for that matter.

At the Caverns, Jade will split everyone up into three groups. Group 1 will consist of Elly, Eren, Armin, Ondorus, Chris. Group 2 will be Jade, Melaka, Banzu, Flynn. Group 3 is Imogen, Ezreal, Flemming, and Lux. These groups aren't fixed, and characters are free to protest and try move around! Ideally, each group will end up with at least 4 members just for safety's sake.

Aaand after that, the exploration begins! At first there'll be nothing but caves and tunnels, but it shouldn't take very long for that to change...


Misc notes: Feel free to go wild with thread-jacking! The mods recommend not strictly enforcing a post order since things will probably stall that way. Also, if anyone wants a random wild Pokemon bonding encounter going in the mountains during any of this, just respond to the Map post as usual!

If you need to ask any questions, the quickest way to get in touch with me will be through PMs.

[Reimu is generally a lazy person by nature, and isn't too big a fan of training, so she sometimes puts that off. Still, since she did need to be in good enough shape to do her job, sometimes she would still drag herself away from the Hakurei shrine for a bit to improve her and Ruukoto's skills a bit.

Of course while she did this, she'd also keep an eye out for anyone who might need a bit of help, since that was also a part of her job. She wasn't a ranger, but as Hakurei it was still her duty to help out where she could.

Still, considering her complaints about going too far away from the walls in this weather, this still apparently didn't stop her and Ruukoto from going out as far as the lake.

The young priestess landed near the Lake Shrine, Ruukoto riding on her shoulder, bundled up from head to toe in her winter clothes. She did have to admit that the lake was a pretty place during the winter months.]

... I guess we might as well look around, huh?

[The Lake Shrine is a pretty good hike from the eastern gate of Union. It's even longer when Eren, in Skarmory-form, makes pit stops to chase rattata out of the bushes (he only manages to catch one) and pluck juicy hibernating Wurmple and Caterpie from the trunks of trees and from dense underbrush. He was hungry after the whole cavern exploration!

Of course he gets several weird looks from Jean, but none from Apollo or Blitz
]

What? While I'm out here, I'm gonna get some fresh food! Pokémon eat pokémon, Jean, it's a thing.

[they reach the Shrine without incident and Eren tilts his head]

Definitely weird. I've been here before, about six months ago, and this definitely wasn't here then. [he shakes his head, then taps at the ice with a talon. It's not completely frozen and what little ice there is, is quite thin. No shoving Jean out onto it, then...] We should split up to explore. I'll go around the right, you go left, and we'll meet at the river?

[ACTION - The Lake Shrine]

S'been a while, huh Shiva?

[The question's directed at the small Eevee trotting alongside him, made distinguishable from any others by the little black bandana that Snow's tied around its neck.]

'Vee?

Y'know, since we've done a little exploring.

[Seems that's been a pretty big buzzword these days. If the Rangers are planning on an expedition to the caverns, that means that Snow and Shiva can't afford to let themselves get too soft. Which is why the two of them now find themselves at the very edge of the Lake Shrine. Snow pauses a moment, just to take it all in.]

Pretty cool, huh?

[Did he really need to ask? The Eevee looks pretty thrilled to be here, as does Snow.

Ahh, uncharted territory. Just like the good ol' days...]
