"How many assholes we got on this ship anyhow?"
Cerby and Steely, long time pals and a proven team of their own, walked up the ramp alone and entered the building through a set of stained wood doors with frosted glass panes. Once inside, you found yourself in a small lobby with wood floors, where a young woman in her early twenties/late teens was sitting behind a counter reading a book. She was wearing a white nurses uniform and had shoulder length straight brown hair tied loosely at the nape of her neck. Her eyes were brown to match her hair, she was slight of build, somewhat short, and was round faced with modest makeup. There was a notebook on the polished wood counter top a register for visitors. The lobby was small but well lit with white washed walls decorated in rich wood baseboards and elegant paintings of landscapes. Upon hearing you enter through the glass accented doors, the woman placed her book to the side and smiled with the goofy grace of a young woman trying to impress on her very first job. She was just young enough and inexperienced enough to be either easily charmed or easily frightened.

Having wisely chosen to enter the building in civilian garb, the young receptionist had no immediate reason to suspect you were trouble makers. In fact, the two of you lovely ladies could easily pass as the grandchildren of any one of the residents. She patted the register on the counter.

Please sign in. She asked of you nicely. She was new enough not to have learned the faces of their guests family, and because you gave no other reason be suspicious, she helpfully pointed you to the French doors leading to the day room. Please be considerate of our more sensitive guests. Some of them are easily upset.

But of course you would be considerate. You were both perfectly ordinary teenagers who knew nothing but good manners and respect for your elders. You entered the day room.

Inside there were three guests enjoying a quiet morning. One was an old woman sitting in a rocking chair by the veranda. In the light of the morning sun she rocked contently and hummed to herself while she knitted what looked like a pink wool sweater. On the other side of the room beside a nondescript door was a gaunt looking fellow huddled in his wheel chair muttering to himself. He was facing no direction in particular and appeared to simply have been rolled into the room and left to his own devices. He didnt seem aware of his surroundings. The last resident present was seated on a couch watching a foot ball game. He was a beefy man for his age with a scruffy beard and seemed to enjoy the game immensely. Occasionally, hed make a fist and jump forward a little, hissing under his breath excitedly at a particularly well executed pass. Likewise, he would jump and swear vehemently if the opposing team scored a goal. He had a very fiery temper and seemed easily crossed.

You know, I have this big long post sitting on my desktop that I started yesterday on my way home, detailing why I posted what I did before, and going over my plan to get into the place that I obviously didn't need... then I realized none of you really care about what I have to say, so I'm writing this now.

Once they so easily got inside the place, Steely looked around at the three people that she could see. There was the typical nice old granny knitting, the poor senile fellow in a wheelchair, and a gentleman watching a football game. Nobody else. With what time it was, that wasn't really surprising, but it worked either way, really.

Her first thought was the granny, who seemed like she'd be the easiest to talk to. But knowing that it was an old mining town in the mountains they were curious about, she wasn't sure if the woman would know much. She seemed drawn to the huddled fellow, but actually... Steely didn't move for a few seconds.

When she finally did, she looked at Cerb and gestured her closer with a twitch of her head.

"You're leadin'. I'll follow you," she whispered to the younger girl.

What? The commander was letting the lackey lead the mission? Well, why not. She trusted Cerb more then any other human being on the planet, and wanted to see how she did on her own, for once. They were a dynamic, well oiled machine together... but Steely was generally the lead, being the older and more experienced one. She wanted to see what Cerb was capable of without any guidance.

And, in theory, if she messed things up, Steely could always attempt damage control. It's not like this was a life or death situation or anything.

So, a nursing home.

Cerb had never really been inside these much, except for a few times when she was much younger and smaller. At least this place didn't have that horrible sterile hospital feeling, rather instead being almost somewhat cozy and nice, with good light and whatnot. The teen still wanted to call out her Pikachu from his ball, missing his weight from her shoulders. But sparking rodent + potential pacemakers = no.

Surprisingly, there weren't many people up. Perhaps old people simply weren't early risers, though Cerb remembered some old lesson from her youth about old people not needing much sleep. Her grandparents, from what she could remember, were certainly capable of rising at ungodly hours to stretch and exercise and eat their disgusting health food. But that was neither here nor there now. Only one old woman, knitting peacefully, a loud fellow watching TV and a rather disturbed/ing man floating in obscurity.

Cerb jumped a little bit when Steely whispered. "You want me to what?" She hissed back quietly, blinking. This was new. Given the choice of people around her, she wasn't quite sure who to talk to first... And she also rather wished Delphi was out. One hand reached around slowly under her jacket to rest on the Absol's ball, which Delphi would sometimes rattle in the face of impending doom. Another reason not to have an Absol out in a nursing home, some people might have a heart attack.

"Um... Let's start with him," she muttered, inclining her head slightly in the direction of the hunched muttering man. She wasn't any good with old people, but Cerb hoped she could pull something out of her rear as she slowly picked her way over to him. "Excuse me... are you alright, sir?" She asked, tilting her head and trying to look, y'know, innocent and concerned. On some level she was, that he would blow up in her face.

As mentioned in chat, there's no reason for you guys to wait until Saturday for a mod, so here we go!


The sad little man in the wheelchair muttered softly to himself. At your approach and address he glanced up from his hands that were folded on his lap. His eyes were gray and cloudy and somewhat unfocused. Wordlessly his mouth worked for a moment as his stare fixed upon Cerby.

He certainly seemed harmless enough to approach, but upon seeing his face it was plain he was confused. His expression contorted into a pained grimace, as if he couldnt bear to look upon you, and still he wouldnt look away. The old toothless man was suddenly fixated upon you and leaned urgently over the arm rest of his chair.

Bill and me were pals He whispered. Then his eyes drifted off to the corner of the room, staring at something and yet nothing at all. Bill? Whered ya go? I told um we didnt do it. We did it though. He started to sob quietly. My fault. Oh Bill, whyd we have to go He turned away from you and wept into his hands.

That was certainly strange. It didnt appear you would get anything coherent out of this poor disturbed fella. However, out of the corner of your eyes you could see the reactions of the other two seniors. The little old granny had stopped her knitting long enough to stare. There were tears in her eyes too but she quickly looked away and resumed her knitting, more furiously than before. The angry gent pumping his fists in the air over the foot ball game had stopped long enough to glare at the old man. He grumbled and went back to the game.

Well, since nurse gerty back there had clearly not come to drag you out the door just yet, it was obviously safe to continue poking about the day room.

Well... that was interesting. Not too informative, but interesting none the less. She straightened up a little bit, a sad frown on her face as she looked down at the poor old guy.

(That's gonna be me someday, if I don't die spectacularly first,) she thought, wishing that there was something she could do for the poor old guy. Instead, she did what she could, and gently patted him on the shoulder before looking at Cerb with a sad sort of look still on her face.

"C'mon," she mumbled, and took a few steps away from him to look around. Spotting the lady, she gestured at her with her head to Cerb, and cast another sad look back at the wheelchair fellow as she followed Cerby.

That was just downright disturbing. Cerb's face warped into a look of concerned confusion as the guy basically broke down in front of her, wondering what his rather cryptic sentences could mean. Clearly something from his past coming to haunt him, and she didn't want to press him much harder. Had to be considerate of the more delicate old people, after all.

Her eyes flitted quickly around the room, taking in the expressions of the other two people observing this poor guy's breakdown. Both of them had reacted, but it was the granny that caught Cerb's attention, as well as Steely's apparently. Since they seemed to be in agreement with this course of action, the teen cautiously scuttled closer to the old lady, knitting so furiously it was like her needles were going to catch fire.

"Um, ma'am... I hate to bother you, but do you know why he's upset?" Cerb pointed slightly over to the guy in the wheelchair, face full of nothing but worry and concern for the fellow. Hate to leave a senior citizen in the lurch, yeswedo.

The old woman had hoped to avoid you curious young people. Why were you here? Shed wondered at first. She knew most of the people who came and went and those who visited and those who mostly bothered. She did not know you. At once, when she saw you innocently approaching ol Jim, she knew that this fine sunny morning would end in tears. Jim was a fragile thing, any one could see that. Hed seen horrors in his past. Now he could only ramble about them, reliving those dark days in a perpetual nightmare of senility.

She knew because she had been with him.

A dark shadow crossed over her face and she set her knitting aside. I havent thought of that that place since I was your age. She whispered, as if speaking of it were a sin. When she looked up she glanced grimly at Jim, as if the bad memory she was about to relive was all his doing. Yes deary, I know why hes upset. Youll have to excuse him though. He hasnt been right since. And who can blame him. None of us ever were. Her hands trembled as she spoke. I wont say the name of the place. I cant. My grammy told me of it when I was a little girl, you see. She said it was a dangerous place and that bad things had happened there when she was a little girl. That bad people had caused it to happen. They said the mines caught fire one night and killed a lot of folk before they could get out, and the town cleared out because the ash was so thick She paused and looked a little wild eyed. She said the mines are still burning today and thats why the road tothat place is closed. She started to cry. I should have listened to her when she said to stay away! I didnt knowme and Bill and Jim. We went up there when we were still just teenagers! She broke down now and started bawling. Oh Bill! I should have listened to Grammy. Why didnt I listen?! She could barely control herself and her volume was quickly rising to a frightening level. Someone would surely come to see what the commotion was about. It was a stupid dare. Thats all it was. The truck though, I tried to tell the police what happened to Bill! I showed the truck to them! That thing, it tore it apart! And Bill

The young lady from the front desk hurried into the room and looked rather cross to see that youd made Mable cry. She had no way of knowing that you hadnt provoked her. She had provoked the walk down memory lane herself. The nurse, with her hands on her hips, asked you to please leave. And that was the end of your interviews. The woman helped Mable out of her chair and back to her room. Mable clung to the girl and sobbed.

Given that the poor old granny had mentioned burning mines, it was a safe bet that she was retelling something about Black Pass. It would appear that both she and Jim had met some traumatic fate when they were younger. Whoever this Bill person had been, was lost, though she never got around to defining exactly what had happened, one would just have to wonder what she meant about that business with the truck.

Even though you had been kicked out prematurely, you still had information to share. It was entirely up to you how you wished to interpret the information and how to share it with the rest of your team. The only real good this preliminary venture into Ashdell has served is to better shape exactly what sort of challenge lay ahead. Youre free to rejoin the other party outside now or linger here and post among yourselves for the gexp. The boring stuff is about over. And in case you were wondering, only the angry guy held all the hidden info. It isnt critical info just a little back story fed to you in a less cryptic fashion.

So...

SLAM.

"Well shit,"

Steely leaned back against the door that had slammed behind them, pondering quietly with her hands in her pockets, left arm still tight up against her side like it had been this whole time. Rolling her shoulders, she looked up at the rest of their group in the park, before looking back to her partner in anti-crime.

"Let's go back to the Center first before we tell them," she said to her friend, picking up the duffel bag from before that nobody noticed/cared about from where she hid it. "I gotta get back into my gear and change my team,"

Which, now she wasn't sure of who to bring, but... she had a little bit of time to think about it on the way over, anyways.

So skipping off to the center and into one of the bathrooms in there somewhere, at some point she was securing her pistol holster when she paused, "So essentially the mines were or still are on fire, we have a thing that can destroy a truck, and everyone is scared shitless of this place," Steely summed it up as much as she understood, checking the pockets of her coat before putting it on over everything else.

Now... bats, check. Guns, check. Other equipment, check. Pokemon... not check yet. She had to think about this one a little bit.

"Cha think?" she asked, holding her three Pokeballs and moving them around in her hand in thought.

And thus, they were booted, so much for that. Though the minute Cerb stepped outside the door, she got tackled in the face by her Pikachu, who clung like a mother. "Ack, Sparky! Off!" She demanded through a mouthful of yellow fur, tugging on the Pikachu who eventually relocated himself to her shoulder and chattered angrily at her. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sheesh. You won't get left behind again."

"Pi pikapi pika!" Thus satisfied, Sparky settled for making grouchy pouty faces on her shoulder. Cerb sighed, also looking over at their group members rooting around in the park and amusing themselves. Hm, nice to see they were having a good time.

"Yeah, sure. I've gotta tweak mine too," she said, thinking about the burning mines and making a face. This was going to be such a pleasant mission, for sure.

--

While Steely babbled in the bathroom rearming herself with her own personal armory, Cerb sat on a sink with eyeballs the size of saucers, Sparky in her lap. She'd never had the misfortune of being on the other end of what Steely could yank out of that coat of hers. And now she really didn't want to.

"And, uh. The town looks like Vesuvius threw up on it and the air probably isn't very breathable," the teen added, thinking back to the mention of residents fleeing from all the ash. Doubtless the town was smothered in a fluffy grey cloud that had more the consistency of cement by now. Pausing, she tilted her head to the side a moment. "And didn't that lady say something about bad people at the beginning? Who set the mines on fire?"

Cerb blinked when Steely suddenly showed her her balls, and just about fell off the sink. "I dunno, they're your Pokemon. I think I'm gonna go tweak mine, actually," and she scuttled out of the bathroom to go do that.

Yeah, getting on Steely's bad side is essentially a very bad idea. Not even counting all the guns, she could fucking electrocute you with her bare hands. Not that she'd ever think of doing something like that to Cerb, but yeah.

"I have a gas mask, so I'm not worried about that," she said with a shrug. Though the thought struck her that he friend might not have that equipment... she shook her head. She'd think about that if the time came.

"Yeah... she didn't exactly say that the people lit them on fire themselves, but they caught fire because of something they did... hm," she scratched her head, straightening up and adjusting her gloves, flexing her hands and seeing a faint current buzz over her exposed fingers. Now she could function without being afraid of anyone seeing her scar.

She shook her head and pocketed her Pokemon for the moment, since they were all going to get switched out in exchange for things that would hopefully be better for this.

"Boy, everone's gonna be happy when we tell them that the coal mines are on fire," she whuffed, pondering.

When it came to Pokemon, she almost had too many good ones to choose from. There was her group of powerful titan Pokemon, led by Aloid. Dragonite, Metagross, Garchomp... then she had Kratos the Salamence with that group... and her ground types.

But, in the end, her mind went back to her original team. Turtle, pangolin, wolf, dinosaur, jackal, cat. Though this time, it would only be turtle, pangolin, and jackal.

"Chaos, Backlash, and Hurricane, I think," she said, snapping her fingers and changing her team to such when Cerby was done with her own.

Over at the computer, Cerb performed a quick swap of Pokemon and pulled out an item mysteriously gifted to her by Floyd, Pokemon gods knowing why. Oh well, it was a useful item and she was going to put it to good use, along with something else having been sitting and waiting for a purpose in life. It was now going to get purposed.

"I'm so tempted to tell them that everything is perfectly fine, and make them go first," the teen commented dryly, retreating to a bench and letting her other Pokeballs burst open to spill out the contents. The first was Delphi, who wagged her tail and looked around, and the second was Rajaion, who blinked and stared up at his 'mommy'. "Hi guys,"

We're in Ashdell, Delphi observed while Cerb was rooting around in her pockets for a moment. Why are we in Ashdell?

"All the wild parties, obviously." The teen finally pulled her hands out, each one with an object in it. The first was a small, dark grey slab that just had a deep, ominous feel to it. The top of it had a small hole punched through with a metal ring through it, and Cerb fed a small leather collar through this before gesturing to Delphi. "C'mere girl, special present time."

Oooooo. I like this present. Delphi's tail thumped on the floor as Cerb felt around in her fluffy neck fur to buckle the ends of the collar together. It feels daaaark.

"It's a dread plate. It'll give you more punch." While the Absol was batting and squeeing over her new item, Cerb pulled Sparky down into her lap and unclipped the Soothe Bell from around his neck amidst his chittering. "You've been wearing this thing forever. You'll get it back, but this works better for now," she said, tugging something new on around the Pikachu's neck. Sparky ran his paws along his ears for a moment to get them back in shape, then craned his head down to blink at his new ornament. A bright, golden glowing little ball, inset into a metal base in the collar. "A light ball. It's a very Pikachu - oriented item," Cerb remarked, stuffing the Soothe bell into her pack for later retrieval.

Rajaion sat quietly on the floor and blinked, scratching under his chin with a paw. The teen reached down and patted him on the head, making him chirr. "No items for you yet, but you'll get yours someday."

"Larveh,"

--

For purposes of the event, saddling Sparky with his Light Ball and Delphi with her Dread Plate.

Now Pikachu/Absol/Larvitar.

Steely laughed at Cerb's idea of leaving their teammates in the dark and throwing them under the bus for this whole thing. "No kidding, right? With how well our team works together, that might be the best way to do it," she shook her head. Aside from Alex, if the rest of her team died in a fire it wouldn't bother her too much. She was alright with a few of them, but it seemed that most of them weren't alright with her. It made something in the back of her mind flicker, but she shook her head and looked back at Cerb.

"So what should we tell them?" she asked, watching Cerb saddle up her Pokemon with items. Now that she thought about it... if everything was going to be on fire and whatnot.

Poking around in her PC for a second, she got out Chaos, Backlash, and Hurricane, and took an item from one of her other Pokemon. She called out the water turtle, who blinked around and seemed to sense the tension in the air.

"...who died?" he rumlbled, looking down at Steely as she pulled out a black belt with frayed ends, and tied it around one of his cannons. "And what's this?" he reached up to feel it between his claws.

"'s an Expert Belt. We're going into somewhere where you'll prolly need it," she patted the water turtle on the nose, and looked back at Cerb.

"Um. That the town's a pile of shit, visibility is probably shot and not to expect breathable air." Stretching a little, Cerb made sure everything was properly arranged and away in her pack and whatnot before shrugging it onto her back and getting to her feet. "Oh, and that the mines are probably on fire." She didn't mention the part about something eating trucks, because they didn't really have any evidence of that aside from a batshit old man and woman and nobody would believe the two of them, anyway. By them I mean our two hapless heroines over here.

Town? Delphi asked, perking up a bit as Cerb headed towards the door.

"Yeah, some place in some place else called Black Pass. You heard of it?"

Seconds later the teen was flattened to the floor, face smushed with Delphi standing on her back.

OMG NO DON'T GO THERE BAD BAD BAD BAD BADBADBADBADBAAAAAAD!

Cerb flailed a bit from where she was mashed flat, unintelligible mumbles coming from where her face was supposed to be. She couldn't see Delphi's eyes blazing red and pupils the size of pinpricks, blazing with unforeseen knowledge aside from SHIT WILL GO DOWN IF YOU GO THERE.

Sparky and Raj boggled for a moment before the Larvitar tromped his way over and snapped for the Absol's leg, teeth making a loud, empty clicking sound as Delphi yelped and yanked her foot out of the way. Oi! This is for our own good, bugger off you little - SNAP SNAP SNAP. The Absol sprang clear as Rajaion growled and hovered protectively, clicking his little jaws.

"Thanks Raj," Cerb coughed, reinflating her chest and rubbing her face to make sure her glasses hadn't cut into her nose yet. "Crap Delphi, what was that about? I already know it's going to be bad, sheesh."

This is no ordinary level of bad! Delphi whined, making a face at Rajaion as the Larvitar puffed out his chest and growled some more. This is THE BRITISH ARE COMING THE BRITISH ARE COMING BRING OUT YOUR DEAD!

Cerb just blinked at her Absol. "The British?"

You know what I mean. D:

"We don't have a choice, Delphi. Floyd our scary bossman sent us to do this, so we have to do it," the teen grumbled, scraping herself off the floor and feeling her pack to make sure nothing got squished. "Now calm down or I'll put you back in your ball." Reclaiming Sparky on her shoulder, Cerb turned and walked out the doors back towards their group with Raj trotting along at her heels. Delphi seemed to droop at the prospects for their future, tail hanging low as she slunk out the door after them.

We are all so going to die. D:

"Sounds good to me," she shrugged. It all kind of amounted to one thing; that this whole thing was the bad situation they were all sort of expecting from the get go. At least now they had bits and pieces of how bad it really was.

That and, like Cerby thought, they might not believe them if they divulged everything they learned. Something that ate trucks and people was a little... well, no, wait, some Pokemon easily got to be that big, so it was possible. But, yeah, semi-crazy old folk.

She patted Chaos on the nose again, listening to him grumble, "Well, you ca-" she stopped when Delphi pounced, and moved like she was going to zap the Absol right off of her. "Delphi!"

But, it was Raj to the rescue. Steely stopped crackling like an angry Raichu and slouched, not noticing Chaos practically standing across the room from her, having ran there when he saw holyshitelectricity. "Just like his pops, that one," she chuckled, rubbing her face. Though Aloid tended to smash things that were threatening Steely in such a manner.

Chaos stomped back over to Steely, and tapped her on the shoulder to get her attention, his mouth right next to her ear, "What's a Brittish?" he whispered, blinking at her. She seemed equally baffled.

"I have no idea,"

She shrugged at it all, recalling Chaos back to his Pokeball for the moment and blinking at Cerb and her herd. With a lazy shrug at nobody and nothing in particular, she walked next to the Absol with her hands in her pockets.

"At some point or another, Delphi," she mumbled, patting the Absol on the back a few times as she ambled after her friend.

And now we're going back to try and kill the others, lalala.

Wait, did I say kill? I meant help. Yeah, help.
