Action

[ Well. This is all terribly exciting.

Moon wanders the streets, wide-eyed and staring at ... just about everything. All the people get looked at for a while, all the shops get curiously poked through - well, so long as no one yells at him for being barefoot. Or chases him out for his rather worn looking clothing, or takes his slight jumpiness as indication he's up to no good. ]

... So many people.

002; [VOICE | ACTION, caverns expedition rewards]

[antiseptic]

[From all the laughing going on behind him, one may guess that Jade is at a party. Unfortunately, that isn't the case.]

( Private to people who had participated in the Caverns expedition )

[And now, a public voice post to everyone, which may be somewhat hard to decipher as the laughing in the background grows steadily louder.]

Does anyone have any experience with persuading unwanted Pokemon to leave your homes? Normally, I'd simply dispose of- [Ah. That could be construed in a negative light.] - that is, dispose of them if necessary, although generally I prefer to drive them out. But it seems Duskull has taken quite a liking to his new friends and I'd rather not harm them.

[There's a loud crash behind him. Jade sighs.] Although I'm beginning to reconsider.

Action:

[Late evening finds Jade heading down to the newly-discovered Mausoleum, Sandshrew trotting along beside him and Duskull swooping around cheerfully over his head. He tries to avoid anyone exploring down there, mostly because he guesses most people wouldn't approve of what he's doing. Which would be trying to pry open the vaults and take a peek at the coffins.]

[He has reasons for doing so. Honest.]

.01 [Video]

[thatwasnotmyintent]

[Is it any wonder that Commander Handsome is one of the first to perfect the use of the new video equipment? After all, dramatic speeches are so much more effective when he can showcase his cheekbones to their full potential.

Except now he's keeping it short and sweet, preoccupied with other matters, clearly:]

It seems recent events have sparked an...admirable rush of civic pride. I encourage anyone who is interested to see about applying for the Scouting Corps. We can always use Rangers with your sort of passion and drive.

As for everyone else -- continue to serve Union and humanity whole-heartedly.

[A brief salute to end this...clearly-rehearsed speech, and the video flickers off.]
