The Day Will Come
Who: Lenna Tycoon, Rei Hino, Feliks Łukasiewicz, Haruka Tenoh
What: Eastern Steppe exploration
When: November 13
Where: The Eastern Steppe area
Summary: In her continuing quest to look for signs of her father, Lenna has gathered a group to explore the Eastern Steppe. This is a dual purpose log to move along her personal plot as well as unlock the area for bonding.
[Now that the Warp Band's range has been expanded, Lenna has once again begun to pursue clues concerning the untimely departure of her father, Councilman Alexander Highwind Tycoon, over a year ago. He left astride the family's Dragonite, Hiryu, to address an urgent and unnamed problem to the east. The last time Lenna mounted an expedition like this, she and a small group found the Coastal Ruins. She'd been looking around the Blizzard Tundra herself more recently, but found nothing but snow and a Furfrou for her trouble.
Remembering how her first trip out had gone, however, she decided to ask some of her friends and associates to accompany her. Unlike the trip to the Coastal Ruins, she'd been entirely upfront this time, apologizing for her selfishness but imploring their aid. Of course the others had agreed, but it's always been in Lenna's nature to consider the needs of others first, even for something as important to her as family. So with a grateful heart, she and the others set off for the Eastern Steppe.]
Thank you all again for coming with me. I realize this was an indulgence on my part, but we may find something that will be of use to Union as a whole while we're looking.

i just want you to know i rolled a 1 on the guillotine
It's going for the kill.
It meets Feliks head on, pincers open wide to finish him off with a Guillotine. But the aim is off just enough, that crucial centimeter. This may of been due to the fact that as it ran at Feliks, it tripped on a rock, barreled over head over feet across the barren steppe before it found that its face connected solidly with the Fire Punch. Its eyes cross and then close as its hit backward, seemingly in reverse slow motion until finally it lands solidly on its back. It needs a minute to get up.
The other, seems to notice that something is making an infernal racket, as if something has wandered through this way before and put it to sleep with multiple marks on its face from a permanent marker. It moves away swiftly from the Sing, which unfortunately reaches Alexander's ears instead. But it still suffers a blow from the Wing Attack used- it doesn't get too far away, holding one of its arms as it bends over in exhaustion. Instead it chooses to prep with a Swords Dance, before it switches opponents to rush at Fryderyk to ensure that the song can never be sung again. It got so much crap from the last time it happened during its last hunting party, and it was humiliating.]
no subject
Bartz! Finish it off before it can hurt Fryderyk!
[The happy little Jumpluff is all too eager to contribute, wafting gently in the breeze for a moment before taking off at truly maddening speed toward the last bug. Unburdened by the use of any sort of items, its Acrobatics attack is particularly devastating.]
no subject
[From up on her rock, Rei takes aim on the final bug and shoots off an attack. Casius joins in, a pair of Flamethrowers contemptuously cast at their assailant. Let's just...stop this idiocy.]
no subject
Recovering from colliding full-force with a gigantic insect, she climbs to her feet and pounds the ground with Earthquake, boulders erupting everywhere. If it can't even focus on staying upright, it can't very well dodge all that fire, can it?
Rushing Wind just hovers overhead. The humans seem to have this well in hand! ]
no subject
[As Fryderyk panics and tries to fly further away from whatever attack the Pokemon is preparing, Feliks rounds on it with one more Flamethrower.]
no subject
The last bug comes in with a Superpower as it catches up towards Fryderyk, though is simultaneously torched by several Flamethrower attacks that end up being far too much for it to handle. They save the pokémon from being slammed mercilessly into the ground, falling from the air as the wings seem to melt right into its back, reforming into a solid brown backside that now looks like it needs a heavy dose of aloe vera.
No more opponents remain- the Dodrio have successfully escaped their assailants, and the Rapidash got bored and went to try to find something to eat. But for now, they're staying far away from the party.
The group will notice that the boulder formation they had fought around is shaped somewhat in a circle, freshly imprinted Dodrio footprints and Rapidash hooves now cover what seems to have been an old campsite.]
no subject
Is everyone all right?
[Because it's Aqua Ring healing time for anyone who isn't. She's fine, and Bartz is unharmed, but Lenna always makes sure to take care of her traveling companions. It's only a brief bit of healing, though, as the impetuous little Jumpluff takes off toward the campsite.]
Bartz, wait! Don't go alone!
[Lenna hops down after him, running in the same direction. It's only after a few moments that she notices what he's seen as well, and she picks up her pace as her heart leaps into her throat.]
...It's a campsite! Everyone, come on!
no subject
When she reaches the campsite Haruka will kneel down by any detritus left from fires, holes that might have been made by pitched tents, etc, to try and get a sense of how long ago someone stayed here. It could be nothing, really. But there's only one way to find that out. ]
no subject
A camp? Show me. Maybe I can get a psychometric impression.
[Using her Psychic side, she starts to sweep around, trying to sense any lingering impressions. Was this a one night stop? An extended camp? Had there been any strong emotions?]
no subject
Rei's sweep over the area will reveal a strong feeling of remembrance and separation, duty and love. Her psychic senses might even lead her to a small alcove, naturally carved out of one of the boulders where a lot of these impressions are coming from.
Inside, there seems to be something that shines from the shadows.]
no subject
This can't be more than a day old...
[It isn't long, of course, before she notices what Rei is looking at. Walking over slowly, she comes up next to her friend, peering in toward the mysterious shiny object.]
Rei...? Did you find something?
no subject
I think so. There's...a lot of impressions here, but here, look!
[Pointing to whatever's in the alcove, she gestures to Lenna.]
There's something here.

Dearest Lenna,
It pains me to have left you, and to have told you so little. Know only that I did so to protect you. My business in the east is not yet finished, and I cannot return home until I have laid my fears to rest. I regret that I cannot share the details of my quest, but I know my daughter, and I know you will come looking for me. To that end, I have left this message for you to find.
If this is the path you have chosen, I cannot stand in your way, but be aware that it will be dangerous. I look forward to the day we are able to reunite, and pray that the world is more peaceful when we do. If you wish to find me before I make my return - become strong, and follow me to the east. You hold the future of the Tycoon family in your hands, and I know you will not disappoint me.
Take care, and remember that I will always love you. I am so proud of everything you have accomplished, and everything you have become.
Sincerely,
Alexander Highwind Tycoon
The helmet is positioned to look farther east, off in the distance. There isn't an end to the steppe where they stood, and the man who'd left the clue for his daughter may still be traversing the land. Who's to say, because there's no clear trail, other than the helmet.]
no subject
F-father... did you leave this for me?
[Crouching down, she sets the helmet aside as she takes the note in hand and begins to read. As her eyes scan the page, the tears that had moments before been shimmering along the edges of her sight begin to flow freely, dripping down her face and onto the paper. She has to pause several times to compose herself and wipe them away, and finally she folds the note, holding it close to her heart and bowing her head with a wistful smile.]
He was here... he's still alive.
[Drawing in a deep breath, Lenna picks up the helmet once again and sets her sights to the east. Far across the steppe, and far beyond the range of the Warp Band even now.]
I won't stop looking, Father. I promise. I'll become strong, just like you said, and someday I'll find you.
no subject
Outside the range of their expedition.
That meant it would take another trek. Another journey on another day.]
Yes. We'll...help you. When the time comes, Lenna-san, we'll be there.
no subject
[He can feel an echo of his own relief in her words, the wound that has only just begun to heal in him, still tender and raw.]
[He comes near to stand by Lenna, reaching a hand down towards her shoulder.]
You're like, pretty strong already, you know that?
no subject
Haruka keeps her distance - the others know Lenna better and thus are better-equipped to be there for her - but Rushing Wind lands and flutters her feathers with a happy trill. How wonderful for you! She and Trainer will support your search! ]
