So. I actually managed to get some good information out of Napoleon, with some bribery. Damn stuck-up dinosaur. I told him if he told me everything he knew, I'd let him hang out in the breeding center for a while. He uh... yeah. Do I really need to explain it?

A-anyway.

It seems like some of these other humans from other settlements, whoever they are, installed the machines in the caves not too long ago. They used a "really stinky gross spray" to keep pokémon out of the way while they worked. Some sort of repellant spray, I'm sure. Then he said that horrible noise started and didn't stop until we destroyed the machine.

But here's the craziest part; he said he was a Tyrunt right up until the noise started. He said he wasn't really ready to evolve yet, but he's not complaining. I had to bribe him with a whole fancy tauros carcass to get THAT info. But I think it's worth it. Even if I'm pretty much broke now, ugh. I have half a mind to release his prissy ass back into the wild.

[ACTION; Closed to Jean and Marco]
[Another day, another dollar, as they say. Many of the Guard recruits had been moved from patrol duty to clean up and rebuilding, and Eren, Jean, and Marco are among them. It's tough work, but it certainly feels good to help people.

But Eren has other things on his mind. ]

... I'm going out training in the forest again this afternoon. Either of you wanna come?

Gee, like Pokemon look that different.

[But guess that's a dead end]

Him being a Tyrunt until the noise started makes sense. The tunnel we found our Tyrantrum said he went through- well, there's no way he'd fit.

Right? Most Pokémon of the same species look the same! I guess it's just all in the perspective.

How many were there, anyway? I've never heard of this kind of Pokémon until now.

Yeah, guess so.

[He considers] Let's see...I saw one, Lucas mentioned one and you...so that's at least three! And that's just people I've talked to.

I had a stuff toy one when I was a kid, but...that's it.

They're supposed to be pretty rare, aren't they? And Napoleon said he's actually an abnormal color. This is all really fishy.

Hm, it is.

I still can't figure out why they'd attack Union either. It's not like the city has interacted with anyone to make enemies.

I don't know. Maybe they didn't want us in those caverns, for whatever reason.

I dunno...if they just wanted that, why would they make earthquakes big enough to harm Union?

Maybe they want us out of the way? Or maybe they just don't care who they hurt in the process.

Yeah...it doesn't seem like they do.

[Very quietly, to himself]

I wonder if this is the first time they've done this...

Edited 2014-02-08 00:42 (UTC)

Yeah.

Huh? The first time?

Huh? [Whoops] Oh. It's nothing, don't worry about it.

[And with that, a bright subject change]

So Napoleon really ate up all your money?

[well that's not suspicious at all. But Eren lets it drop.

For now]

Well, not ALL of it. But like... two weeks pay, yeah.

[It's totally not suspicious, there is nothing to see here STOP LOOKING AT MEEE]

Two weeks pay?! It can eat that much?!

It wasn't just a tauros STEAK, Sora, it was a whole tauros!!

I heard you I heard you! Jeez! Glad I didn't bond with one!

How are you gonna afford to keeping feeding that?

Trust me, that was a one time thing, to bribe him. I'll just turn him loose outside the walls while I train and he can catch whatever he wants.

Oh.

...Tyrantrums don't eat humans, do they?

Well, he tried to eat us in the caverns.

... But he was pissed off by that noise at the time. So... probably not?

Probably not's your best guess?!

W-well I'm not sure enough to give a 100% answer!!

[a groan]

I guess I'll just be more careful when I go out training with all these Tyrantrums around.

Well, it's not like I'll let him eat anyone. What kind of Guard would I be if a pokémon I was bonded to was eatin' people?

Probably...not a very good one.

But okay, sorry. I didn't mean to imply you'd let him eat me!

Ah... It's fine. I know you didn't mean nothin' by it.

Yeah, sure didn't!

Good luck with him, though. Maybe you'll grow to be friends?
