Free City, Truce - Fountain
A tiered fountain marks the center of Truce, water gushing from its
summit and trickling into a deep, wide basin, wrapped by a ring of benches.
Roads flow like rivers away from the fountain, and houses sprout like weeds
all around them. Not far to the east, the ocean roars in the harbor.

Kyrk is resting on one of the fountain benches in no specific location, one leg folded over another with a fairly large breaker blade laid out over both legs. On his shoulder, Kyuubey is perched levelly, tail curled about his feet as he watches the area disconcerningly, bright red eyes blinking every great once in awhile.

Mogwai limps into the town square, wearing a large red overoat. After a while it becomes clear her left arm isn't in the sleeve, and she's trying to hide that it's in a sling.

Kyrk himself seems a bit detached from the current location, eyes half-closed as he focuses elsewhere, or possibly in thought regarding something else.

There seems to be something sleeping next to the Fountain...Oh, It's Nagol! So he really was here for 1 to 2 weeks sleeping. Should someone wake him up from his couple of weeks slumber?

Zerstorung has been sitting at one of the benches near the fountian for not a short amount of time now. His bag is unslung and unzipped, and the teen is tending to a shotgun from inside it with the movements of someone who has read a book one too many times. As he is doing so, Zerstorung looks out at the crowd gathered at the fountian, people watching like usual.

Finn makes his way into the fountain square and, really, it seems like bad things tend to happen each time he comes here on this particular day, but.. last time wasn't so bad, really. Maybe this time won't be as bad, either. By the time he makes it there, he notes Nagol still sleeping there.. and he blinks, moving over to nudge him with his foot. "Hey. Nags. You dead?" Pokepoke. Seems an odd place to sleep.

A high-pitched shrill scream comes from above as a small figure falls down and lands in the fountain of truce with a small splash. As it surfaces, the small creature looks around, wondering where the heck it is now. It remembers falling into a Diglett crater, but after that there was darkness for what felt like forever, and now it lands in a fountain in a town square. Needless to say, the little creature is quite confused as it swims around to what it makes to be the edge, pulling itself out and shaking itself dry.

Unknown to Finn, Jake has shrunk in size and infiltrated his backpack. He's curious to know what kind of adventures his buddy's been going on while he's been a lazy mutt playing video games with BMO.

Rizar is just sitting by the water and looking at his reflection.

Avani wanders to the founain with a happy smile on her face. She notices someone fall from the sky and simply giggles, entertained at the scream it made on the way down.

Helios flies in from the north with a fresh, new armor plate on his side. His lens is still cracked from the damage he sustained on his last trip and he is accompanied by the M85 again.

Demeter sat on the the bench next to the fountain with her legs crossed and her feet swinging. She seemed either bored or despondent as she looks over the people begin to crowd the fountain. She smiles but shes not really sure why. Demeter stands up and moves away from the benches so the new arrivals have the choice to sit. She had been sitting too long anyway. Starting to get stiff!

Kyrk raises his head after a moment, glancing briefly off toward the north. In turn, Kyuubey also follows Kyrk's gaze, ears flicking in that direction. "That's where he'd been for awhile, but I think they kicked him out. There's no telling where he's to be located now, but the threat posed is imminent. We'll need to do something soon, to try and track him down."

Kyrk sighs, and reverts his attention back to the immediate area. His rose-colored irises fall upon Helios, or, more specifically, the mobile structure that follows it around. "Ah, the Seed thief. I should have guessed it wouldn't be of flesh and blood sentience. How did that work out for you, by the way?" Kyrk's tone is almost mocking, but not quite; his entire manner of speech seems empty, almost quiet, as if there weren't any real feelings to his words.

Rizar turns to look at Helios and waves a hand, "The battle was chaotic, wasn't it? Did anyone get the seed? We must return it to Kyuubey."

Avani isn't really focused on anyone mainly just wandering around, looking like an unattended child. Looking around getting a better look at everyone, she notices a white cat sitting on a man's shoulder. They seemed to be talking but, she didn't really hear them. "Hey Mister! Can I pet your cat?" she asks him walking up to him pointing at Kyuubey with a smile.

Mogwai looks over at Rizar "Do you not know what happened? I had to defeat the yoma myself. Helios stole the seed afterward and ran. That... did not end well."

"Pichu?" The small pokemon looked this way and that, not exactly sure what was being said..but he heard the word 'Battle'. Upon hearing that, the small Pichu hopped off of the rim of the Fountain, scampering around, it's hands folded at it's chest looking up at everyone with wide, brown eyes

Finn's poking awakes Nagol with a start, He looks around at the crowd and get's up. He looks over to Finn and says, "Hey Finn, how's it going? I feel like I have slept for atleast a week or two."

Helios stares at Kyrk. "Seed... Seed, seed, seed... What seed?" Helios turns to the M85. "What seed is he talking about?" The M85 shrugs and makes an apolagetic whine. "Right, access the records... Thanks."

Zerstorung finds his attention drawn to Kyrk and Kyuubey, and watches the two as they interact with the somewhat frightening robots that Aura was talking to previously. It seemed like the robot got into a lot of trouble. He idly daydreams about teaming up with the large man to fight the robot to the death, and going to get drinks at the bar afterwards. That could be fun. He is distracted by the small yellow creature looking at people however, and he gives it a friendly smile.

Naturally, Finn is oblivious to the bummin' bulldog in his pack, since he doesn't really realize that there's any weight difference in his backpack. His bud's just THAT good! As for Nagol, Finn blinks down at him. "Nah, no way," he smiles warily, not willing to really admit that the guy's been left to his own devices to sleep for weeks. He notes the Pichu running around, and he tilts his head a bit. "Whoa. The rats around here are kinda small.."

Naturally, patience isn't one of Jake's best traits. He stretches his arms up and begins to climb out of Finn's backpack where he then enlarges himself to about Finn's size while tackling him from behind. "Surprise, buddy!"

After a moment of taking in a few select key words. "The seed thief?" she asked herself. She then began to question this particular fountain gathering. "People are fighting for...Seeds? I guess this isn't a battle for crop then." Demeter moves a little closer to those talking about thievery for a more clear eavesdropping.

Rizar says 'My energy reserves suddenly went out and I couldn't move.'

Helios seems to zone out for a moment as he comminucates with the transport. "OH, that seed. It was useful for a little bit and then it was... removed? Hmm... The file seems to be corrupted. Sorry, we cannot help you more aside from the fact that we made some sort of copy." Helios seems to shrug. "Oh, hi Twi... dark? Is that right?"

After a rather lengthy time away from the public eye, Twilight Sparkle trots in from the north, with a calm smile. "I've been out of touch for so long... It'll be nice to talk with everyone again."

Kyuubey climbs down from Kyrk's shoulder to the bench on one side of him, looking up at Avani with his bright red eyes. He doesn't seem unfirendly in the least, but one could say he doesn't seem overly friendly, either. He just kind of... stares at Avani. Much like a cat. If a cat had long, strange appendages with a golden ring at the base of each, coming out of its ears.

Kyrk smirks faintly as Kyuubey sits himself down in front of Avani, though his attention seems at least partially trained on Helios and his mech. The extensively-sized weapon across his lap remains dormant, and he seems in no hurry to remove or take it up.

Kyrk says 'Pet him if you must, he won't hurt you. But don't feel bad if he doesn't approve.'

Avani smiles happily and nods, her overexcitement has her end up pulling Kyuubey into her lap and pets him. "Thank you, mister." she replies stroking her hand from Kyuubey's head down his back.

Rizar walks up to Kyuubey and bows before he sits down. His eyes wander over to Kyrk before he speaks, "I wish to be rid of my corruption. Is there a way without the seed, or am I doomed?"

Twilight Sparkle, instead of paying much attention to Kyuubey or Rizar, is sitting down next to Mogwai and looking up with a curious expression. "What happened to your arm, and is there anything I can do to help you?"

Mogwai starts counting with her free hand "Let's see... I was shot, trampled, bitten, shouted at, burned... but I went to the hospital, and I should be fine in a bit."

As the Pichu comes to Zerstorung, it sees him looking down and the Pichu cranes his neck to look up, waving at Zerstorung with a happy cry of "Pi~chu!" It bounces in place a few times happily, as it looks up with a big smile and it's wide brown eyes as it scampers in a circle around his legs.

Finn blinks as he realizes his backpack's moving, but soon.. it's When Good Buds Go Bad! "Ah, rabid dog!" He laughs, reaching up to slap Jake's jowl's playfully. "Gotta slap the jowls to escape!" He doesn't seem at all bothered by the presence of his best bud in the whole world! "Were you hidin' in my backpack, man? Sneaky!" With Twi and Zerst there, he offers them a wave. "Hey, Twi. Hey, Zerst." It's friendly time, after all.

Demeter notices there seems to be alot of attention drawn to this cat and also the person dressed in black. Demeter clears her throat. "'Scuse me but what are you talking about when you say corruption?" she says looking at Rizar sternly.

"I'm the backpack monster! I eat out of your backpack!" Jake shouts as he laughs and gets off of Finn, reducing his size to normal. "No! I was just trying to find my toothbrush. You know, the one you keep thinking is yours?"

Zerstorung smiles at the little creature, having absolutely no idea what it is. He looks around to see if anyone else at the fountian is looking at it like it is a pest before watching the little thing run around. He just barely catches Finn's wave, which he returns. Zerstorung wasn't sure how much of a friend he was, but he certianly seemed to be a good guy. A little odd though. The same could be said of his apparentally talking dog...thing.

Nagol looks around once more, then he looks at his watch and says, "Yep, I been asleep for at least a week and a half. He decides to sit down and think about what he had seen in his dream.

Helios looks over at the M85. "It is Twidark, right?" The M85 shrugs. It dosent know her.

Kyuubey seems completely evenfaced as he is dragged into Avani's lap, and continues to be so even as Avani lovingly (?) strokes him. He's fairly soft and somewhat squishy, as if made of light and puffy material. He looks up at Avani, unblinkingly, with a black, red-eyed stare.
Action forced.

Kyrk looks at Rizar silently for a moment, taking his attention away from Helios and lowering his eyes toward where he can sense Rizar's Soul Gem to be. "How did you allow yourself to get to that point? That's dangerous, reploid or not. Do you have no Grief Seeds available at the moment?"

Twilight Sparkle frowns thoughtfully at this, before shaking her head and looking to the rest of the group. "If I had known, then I could've taken care of your injuries. I'm not asking you to trust me, though."

Kyrk allows a brief moment to look toward the one addressing him about corruption, his face somewhat stern, if not a little grim. "It is exactly what it sounds like. He is one of my kind, and we become corrupted over time. He is merely looking for a way to undo this corruption, which I am able to."

Rizar says '...I do not have a seed. I have been having dreams, though. Is this normal for me? I've never had a dream before in my life, but in this dream, I see my soul gem and another me comes out of it. He calls himself Razir. And he tells me that I am running out of time.'

Mogwai chuckles "It's fine Twilight. To be honest being in the hospital gave me time to start thinking straight. When I got the injuries, I was a wreck. I was just throwing myself at an avatar, telling myself that if I wasn't real, the pain couldn't be either. Well, I think my experience adequetaly taught me otherwise, I'll be more careful from now on."

Avani looks down at Kyuubey's red unblinking eyes that might creep out any other person but she instead giggles. He was so soft it was like he was a plushie instead of an actual cat that she wanted to squeeze him. Not thinking she actually starts to do just that, hugging the cat tightly against her like he was a stuffed animal. "You are so adorable!"

"Aw, man, gross. We really gotta get different colored toothbrushes," Finn blahs softly, but either way, he reaches up to noogie Jake playfully, before he peers around. "Man, it's kinda busy today at the fountain. Hope nothin' bad happens." A pause, before he moves to finally stand up, dusting himself off, before he picks up Jake to bring him over to Twi and Mogwai. "Hey, guys. This is Jake! I've been meaning to introduce you for a while. Jake, this is Twilight, and Mogwai." (c)

Finn motions to each of them in turn. "And this is Jake, my best bud from back home! He's pretty awesome."

Demeter looks to Kyrk with a brow raised."You..." Demeter pauses not sure how to speak. Her form seemed to have become rigid and stiff. "You mean to tell me you have the means to undo corruption? Are you able to-" She paused again hearing Rizar speak of soul gems. Its almost like she has fallen into what could be the perfect situation for her. Altogether, Demeter seems to digress.

The Blue Kirby jumps up from where he is sitting, he summons his Warp Star and hops on it. Nagol waves goodbye to his friends and flies off. Where could he be going?

The Pichu stops in front of Zerstorung, as it jumps up and down, wriggling in midair "Pi~chu, pichu!("Hello there! I'm Pichu, and you are?")" It works itself up to the point where small arcs of electricity can be seen dancing across a pair of small, red colored cheeks.

Zerstorung looks at the strange hopping creature with a raised eyebrow. "Uh, Hi?" He had absolutely no idea what the little thing was saying, but it sure was flipping out. Zerstorung eyes the sparks coming from it's cheeks a bit warily.

Jake waves towards Mogwai and Twilight, "Sup! Nice to meet you! Any friend of Finn's is a friend of mine. And yeah, I am a pretty awesome!"

Jake then turns his gaze on the rest of the crowd that has gathered. Particularly, the strange looking cat. While keeping his gaze he nudges his buddy, "Dude. Look at that cat. Kinda creepy, man."

Helios seems a bit lost at this point. His memory banks are still out of comission and he can only remember small things about everyone there.

Kyuubey is compressed rather tightly, but still makes no effort to get out of it. His body squishes inward easily, as if he didn't really have a lot of stuff inside to push back against the bearhug. Still, he doesn't seem harmed or in pain at all, though he merely stares off in any random direction, depending on where he can see from the affection being given to him, patiently waiting out the child's attentions.
Action forced.

Kyrk lowers his eyelids slightly, still watching Rizar. "Strange things are known to happen to the contracted, over time. In most cases, they are results of the wish that they have had granted, but this is not always the case. If you have no other means, however, then I suppose I have no choice. Either that, or let you struggle along in your own way, and I'd sooner not have to hunt you down at that time if I can prevent it here and now."

Kyrk sits up straight, and holds out his hand to Rizar. "Let me see your Soul Gem." It's hard to know whether or not to take him seriously. That not-quite-dark, but definitely-not-quite-light atmosphere about him is kind of... off.

Twilight Sparkle turns her gaze, after giving Jake a friendly smile, to the small mouse and trotting over to look closely at it, noting the arcing of electricity from both cheeks. "Oh, how adorable...! I've never seen something this cute before..."

Rizar takes a step back, "Do not kill Razir. Do not kill me either. What do you intend to do? ...I am afraid for the first time."

"Pi~~chu!("YAY, a new friend!")" The Pichu raises both arms in the air, and, involuntarily, lets off a small discharge of electric energy that arcs out and possibly shocks Zerstorung and Twilight, not knowing the horse clopped up to it until he heard the voice. Of course, by then, it was a little late..

Mogwai follows Twilight, taking a look at the new pokemon. So far, she's unaware that it's another pokemon, it just seems like a small talking thing.

Finn slowly moves to have a sit next to JAke, but still near Twi and Mogwai. "Huh?" He turns his head to peer at the cat. "I dunno, he shows up to the fountain all the time, I see him here a lot." A pause, glancing between Jake and Kyuubey. "You're just upset 'cause you're a dog." He grins playfully, nudging his bud playfully with an elbow. He peers at Twi for a moment. "I'd be careful. It looks friendly." His eyes narrow. "Suspiciously friendly.."

Avani snuggles the cat happily before finally letting out realizing how easy it was to squeeze. "Eep! I hope I didn't hurt you, kitty!" she cries in a worried tone. She frowns and holds Kyuubey out supporting him under his forearms, "Please don't be mad."

What's that falling from the sky? Looks like a man.....Splash! The man falls into the Fountain, causing a giant wave of water to come crashing down on people next to the Fountain.

Demeter glanced back at the kid and his dog, and how they seemed to be truly content. Demeter day-dreamed about how she might have been like that without forcing it...She snapped back to reality and looked at Kyrk. He was trying to convince Rizar to give up his soul gem. She didnt know if he was trying to be sly and after she thought about it, she didnt really know if she actually even cared. As Kyrk and Rizar went on it was becoming more clear that what she was really looking for might not be here.

Zerstorung lets out a short exclamation as pichu shocks him, and he pulls his hand back quickly to shake it. The pain faded a moment after he felt it, but he gives the small creature a half grimace-smile. "Just a bit excitable huh?" He puts away his shotgun, zipping it back up in the military bag where it had come from originally.

"It's still creepy, man. Just look at its eyes!" says Jake as he keeps his gaze.

Kyuubey dangles there at the end of Avani's outstretched arms, looking back at her blankly. He blinks once, and actually speaks; the voice comes from him, though his mouth does not move at all, along with the speech. "You haven't damaged me, don't worry. More importantly, where are your parents? This can be a dangerous place for children, at times, lass."

Kyrk sighs, a bit exasperatedly, but not overly so. He keeps his hand held out, but doesn't advance or stretch it any further. "I'm not going to kill anyone. You haven't given me proper course to. But if you want to remain corrupted and attempt to hunt down a Witch, Yoma, or another one of us with a spare seed by yourself, then be my guest. Elsewise, give me your Soul Gem, so that I may restore it for you."

Kyrk says 'Either trust me or don't, it's your call. But don't play games, I'm not the 'games' sort of person.'

Twilight Sparkle falls over with a groan at the errant discharge from the Pichu, twitching occasionally, with her mane and tail coursing with residual electricity. "Did I say it was cute? Because I meant painful, and tingly... Ugh..."

Rizar moves forward and hands his Soul Gem to Kyrk, "I am extremely grateful. I wish I could have done better in the last battle. I will not let a corrupted one get in my way..."

Mogwai bends down "Aww, she's just a little excitable. Coming down here and seeing so many new people." she bends down and tickles the pichu's cheeks.

Finn looks back toward Kyuubey as Jake brings his attention to him. "I dunno. I think he's nothin' but bad news," he admits, patting his bud on the head. "Really, don't worry about it. It's not worth it, man. But you know what is worth it? Slappin' the jowls!" He slaps at Jake's jowls again playfully, just to try to distract him from Kyuubey. He does manage to catch Twi getting shocked, and he laughs out loud, unable to help himself.

The Pichu giggles..or what passes as a giggle for a pokemon, and the electricity dies down, receding into it's cheek-sacs again as it's head snaps over to the horse, it's head tilting: "Pichu?("Who's that...and why are they on the ground?")" The Pichu looks up at Mogwai tickling it's cheeks and it lets out a smile and a happy "Pichu!("Hello! I'm Pichu. Are you a friend?")" The Pichu seems to enjoy the attention and supringly stands still.

"Parents? I don't know where my parents are." Avani replies with a little smile on her lips. It was obvious that she hasn't been around her parents in a long time since she's not bothered by the topic. "I can take care of myself!" she exclaimes proudly pointing her thumb to her chest.

Helios finally manages to pull together a semi-coherent memory and he hovers over to the group around the little electric mouse thingy. "Mogwai, how did your quest go last time? We remember a little bit about it, but its kind of a blank..." Helios seems to shrug again.

Demeter as Demeter thought about it, her day hasn't really changed drastically. It was just sprinkled with a bit of false hope is all. she couldnt help but to laugh. Perhaps she doesnt have it SO bad, she thought. She looks over at Kyrk and Rizar and ponders on what their condition is exactly. She shrugged. "What does corruption mean to you?" it was a loose question directed at the two but she almost felt as if she had to know.

"Dude, it even talks man! I can't take it, I gotta--" says Jake until he his cut off by Finn slapping his jowls. "Heh heh, heh heh. Stop man!"

Zerstorung is a bit overwhelmed by so many people he had not really met before, including another talking horse. The teen inhales deeply and 'smoothly' steps over the back of the bench. Which is to say he all but stumbles, but manages not to fall completely.

Kyuubey says 'An orphan, then. Not uncommon in general, but I don't see too many children without their parents at least remotely nearby. How old are you, dear?' He still dangles there, making no attempt to move or free himself.

Kyrk takes Rizar's Soul Gem from him, and brings it close to his face, looking to see exactly what level of corruption remains there. With a look almost like resignation, he withdraws from his person a pale red, almost pink Soul Gem, his own. Without hesitance, he brings the two together, with an audible 'clink!' of jewelry against jewelry.

At the connection between them, a strange course of action takes place; green sparks fly between the two decorations, and with a pulse of putrid green light, the darkness within Rizar's Soul Gem filters outside of it, clouding up and is cosumed by Kyrk's, which adds a fair taint to the otherwise-Rose coloration that it once had; it now swirls with a fair amount of darkness, while Rizar's gem is clear and free of such a thing. Kyrk is not unaffected, though.

Though he's putting up a good front, the strain from this absorption, to say the least, forces several creases in Kyrk's brow, and he looks fairly pained by the endeavour. Eschewing this in favor of erstwhile badassery, however, he only grits his teeth slightly, and gives Rizar's gem back to him, stowing away his own to deal with later. "There. Please be careful, from here on."

Twilight Sparkle shakes the fog from her mind, standing up and magically straightening her mane and tail as she looks down at the Pichu with a faint smile. "I suppose I am a 'friend', even if we can't exactly communicate with each other."

Mogwai smiles at Julexa "Yes, I can be your friend. I like making new friends." Her ears twitch a little at Helios' question, and she turns to face him "My arm's in a sling. How do you think it went?"

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Twilight Sparkle."

The Man drags himself out of the Fountain and sits down on a nearby bench. He says to himself, I'm lucky that I fell in that Fountain over there. Who knew that I would have been teleported here? Oh Well, atleast I'm not in some weird dimensio-" His words are cut-off as he looks at the people around the Fountain.

Finn smiles as JAke tells him to stop, and he nods. "All right, man, but I'm bein' serious when I say he's bad news." He reaches out grab Jake, bringing his face in close to his friend's, face serious and eyes narrowed. "I heard one time, he sucked out A MAN'S SOUL." WOOOOOOO. "Nah, not really, he just does weird stuff to people, I hear. And everyone knows cats are evil anyway." He leans back and relaxes again.

Avani tilts her head at the question, as if she has to think about it first. She gently places Kyuubey down on the ground before holding up all her fingers on her hands displaying the number 10. "I'm 10 years old!"

Rizar nods and extends his arm to shake hands with Kyrk. His eyes fixate on his own soul gem, then at Kyrk, saying, "Who was the first one to make a Soul Gem, and did anyone wish for an uncorruptible soul?"

The Pichu is a little overwhelmed. She darts her head between the trio, answering Twilight first with a: "Pichu~!("I'm Pichu! Glad to meet you!")" Then, she turns to Mogwai, clapping her small hands together and gleefully hopping in place with a broad smile on her face, hugging one of Mogwai's hands around her stubby arms.

A loud horn sounds off from the harbor, signaling the departure of a large vessel.
Helios rotates his core slightly so that the undamaged part of his lens is looking at Mogwai fully. "Oh. Sorry. Our vision is... not very good right now." Helios seems to sink down slightly before coming back up. "Are you any closer to your goals? Also, what IS that thing?" Helios looks down at the Pichu. Curiously, he dosent appear to be scanning it at all.

Zerstorung slowly backs away from the people gathered around the Pichu, and quietly excuses himself to the north. He still seemed to be quite used to the variety offered by this strange place, and needed some time to go decompress on his own.

"You can say that again, man. Alright dude!" exclaims Jake as he makes an effort to ignore the fine feline. "Sure are a lot of peeps here, man. We should totally throw a party!"

Demeter give a quick double take of the man in the fountain then returns to the two attentively. Demeter doesnt seem to blink as she watches the taint exchange transpire. "What in th-" It was confirmed. These people were in a far worst condition then Demeter thought herself in. Without even coming across as empathetic she asks seeming almost concerned "What happened to you two?"

Kyuubey is sat down, raising his gaze to look up at the child as she expresses her age in the best way any child knows. "I see. Have you been on your own this whole time? It is my understanding that mortal children are not simply born and left to fend for themselves with any real degree of survivability." He doesn't spare any of his speech mannerisms, despite who he's talking to.

Kyrk looks up at Rizar's hand, and disregards it, seething inside from what had just transpired. He keeps it there, however, and looks between Rizar and Demeter, settling back against the bench. "I absolved him of his corruption. It was exactly as you saw. We all have different powers, this is merely one of my own. And no, I don't know who the first contracted individual was; Kyuubey has been at this for a long, long time, over many worlds in many places."

Kyrk says 'As far as I know, in accordance to this, nobody has wished for this. But if they had, there likely would have been some drawbacks. There are no wishes that don't have some kind of drawback to them. It is just how it works.'

"All right, man. Everyone knows cats are evil." Well, Finn said it again, per request! Though the idea of a party gets a nod of agreement. "Yeah! That sounds awesome, man! I've got just the person that can handle the beats! It'll be an awesome party! We should start planning soon!" He's clearly liking the idea.

Avani giggles and shakes her head. "Mommy Nature!" she exclaimes, "She keeps me safe and helps me." she explains the only way she can think to explain it. No one really inquired so much about her before so she isn't used to these kind of questions.

Mogwai pets the Pichu "No, I'm not any closer to my goal. Well, one step forward and two steps back I guess. And... I'm not sure what this is. Looks cute though!"

Twilight Sparkle sits down, reaching out with one forehoof to give the Pichu a playful ruffling as she giggles.

Rizar goes into standby mode to process the day's events.

"Dude, dude. I know you know these streets but c'mon man I've also got beats. All we gotta do is put on a song and look at at these peeps, what can go wrong?" says Jake as he starts to jam. Uh oh.

The Man looks out at the crowd of people and says to himself, "Talking Dogs and Cats? Robots and what ever that little yellow thing is? What is going on around here?"

"Kyuubey? I'm sorry, I dont know who that is but I assume if this Kyuubey did something that drastic to you then I assume he is a force to be reckoned with. I am sorry to intrude I just mislead myself into thinking you might be able to help me but as it stands you are struggling to help your self and your...I guess I could say 'kin'" Demeter takes a deep sigh "I hope things turn out for you two." she says, barley sincere.

The Pichu gently dips her head at the petting and ruffling, not expressing any disinterest in it, she loved being petted! However, she lets go of Mogwai's hand and plops down in front of the two, quietly swaying back and forth as she extends her arms: "Piiiiii~chu!(So, what do you two wanna do now? Go exploring? Ohoh, I know! Go swimming in the fountain?!")" The Pichu didn't know that the fountain wasn't for swimming as it scurried over to it and tried to pull herself up, acting so adorable, trying to climb over the tall rim of the fountain...at least to her.

Helios nods slowly. "We see. Well, we hope your next venture is more successful." The M85 abruptly chirrups at Helios from the northern part of the square. "Oh, our replacement lens is done and we can have our memory banks reset. Well, we must be off to finish our repars. Have a pleasant evening, Mogwai." The M85 chirrups again and Helios dutifully falls in behind it, heading north.

Kyuubey turns to look at Helios and the mech as they head off, a strange look flickering on his face before he returns it to the child in front of him, still acknowledging what she'd said. "Ah, another child of nature. Perhaps not so unlike that other boy, Ambience, I think his name was. Or maybe just so. It is indeed true that I cannot gauge anyone or anything around here by outward appearances. Are you a wandered, or do you yet have a domain to call your own?"

Kyrk nods lightly at Demeter, not acknowledging Rizar as he goes into standby mode, and he makes some obvious effort to get up, hefting the huge sword by its handle as he does. For being not exactly a big guy, and right around 6 feet to boot, he wields it with considerable ease. "I will be fine. Or I will perish. I really have no way of knowing for certain, but rest assured, I will try and prevent the latter of those two outcomes."

Kyrk says 'At the moment, however, I'm finding this location to be too crowded to my liking. To that end, I will bid you adieu and be on my way.'

Mogwai giggles at Julexa "I think I'm a bit big to go swimming in the fountain, but I would love to go exploring sometime. Maybe have you meet a few of my other friends."

Finn shrugs his shoulders helplessly, and he moves to a stand. "I was thinkin' of throwin' a party at the Tree Fort, but this works too!" With music, comes dancing.. and he's not exactly the kind of person to concern himself with what others think about his dancing. But damn if he doesn't make a show out of it, flipping around and over JAke with the ease of an acrobat. "I know someone who's gonna be totally jealous of those beats, DJ Bulldog!" All that autotuned! Fancy!

Twilight Sparkle casts a glance towards the fountain, before shrugging and gently tickling the Pichu with her forehoof until it scampers over to the fountain. "Pichu must be your name, if it's all you can say. But it's just as cute as you are..."

The Pichu stops what she was doing and turned around to face Mogwai, tilting her head: "Pi-pi-pichu?("You look the right size to me. Friends? What friends? You mean you have more?!")" The Pichu only wriggled in responce to the tickling by Twilight, as it continued to try and climb the rim.

Avani shakes her head lightly. "I go camping a lot, every night. Its nice, unless the weather is not so nice. Then its not fun." she says happily explaining her situation to the talking cat. She is enjoying this encounter a lot even though its a lot of questions she didn't see the importance of. Although hearing there was another person who could commune with mother nature interesrted the child.

Jake then forms a drum out of his stomache and proceeds to beat on it. "Hey everyone, welcome to the fountain! We've got enough folks to move a mountain! I wanted to point it out 'cause my beats aren't fake and if you didn't already know, my name is Jake!" Sounds like someone just let the dogs out.

Demeter sits down at the fountain bench after giving Kyrk a slight gesture of a head nod. She watches what would appear to be a party forming around the town center. She didnt want to join. She couldnt enjoy herself as it would be just acting.

Kyuubey crouches down somewhat for a brief moment, then springs up!.. ..onto her shoulder, where he promptly drapes himself down and over thereof. "So you're a veritable element of nature, then. Do you have friends? Or is it really just yourself against the world, so-to-speak?" The cat-thing seems disregarding of the racket nearby, his interest apparently piqued on this strange young lass.

Kyrk turns, hefting his weapon over one shoulder as he heads northward from here, not even concerning himself with Kyuubey's situation. He likely figured things would work themselves out, and he kind of hurt at the moment, anyway. He heads down the avenue, eventually disappearing from sight.

MrSatan relaxes himself and walks slowly over to a bench and sits down, as long as no one notices him he will be ok.

The Pichu was almost there...however, when she heard the music, she stops, and look up at the source of the music...seeing a pair of drums connected to a...dog? Regardless, the Pichu scampers off to get a closer look, her arms outsretched and running at full tilt, plopping herself down near the music, happily listening, her ears twtching every once in awhile.

"I have friends! I know a talking barrel, he is kinda rude at times, but he's full of surprises." Avani replies, giving a slight nod. "Then there are the trees and other things." She continues not realizing the things she labeled normally aren't sentient to begin with and probably could be played off as her imaginary friends or such.

Mogwai sits down by Julexa "Plenty. There's a group of people I travel the world with from time to time. You might like them. There's a cute little creature like you too, his name's Eevee."

Twilight says 'And I'm one of them.'

Finn chuckles when Jake begins to rap, and he flops down to a sit, tugging out.. a balloon, soon inflated! Time for some balloon music. It goes surprisingly well with the drum beats. "You know it's a party when the laughs are hearty, if we need more good mood we'll go grab some food! My name is Finn, to not know me's a sin, if you're evil we'll bust your cups, but to all my peeps I say wassup?" And all that autotuned! It sounds strange, but oddly fitting. "Haha."

Jake keeps beating on his stomache.

"This is hardly amusing." Demeter said before stand back to her full height. She trudges over to the dog in drum form, next to the little pokemon and effortlessly gives the drum a 'Racka-tat-tat'. She smiled abit and wandered off to the south with slight sway to her walk.

Kyuubey hangs there as she speaks, looking for all the world like a limp little plush animal. His manner of speaking does not sound as subdued as he makes himself appear, however. "Freedom is something many people yearn for, and while difficult to attain, it seems as though you have no trouble grasping this concept fully. Is there anything within this lifestyle that doesn't sit sell with you..?" This question seemed a little... pointed, perhaps? As if gnawing for more information, almost.

The Pichu glances over at Mogwai and Twilight: "Pii~chu, pichu chu-pi!(Oooh! I like to explore! I wanna go! Take me with you, taaakke me with yoou!")" The Pichu bounces a little in place, obviously quite excited at the prospect of going on an adventure.

Mogwai ruffles Julexa's head "It'll be dangerous, do you think you can handle that?"

As the partying starts, Twilight Sparkle quietly sneaks away, not too enthusiastic about getting dragged into the festivities.

Jake watches at people start to leave the fountain one by one. "Aww man, I thought I was on a roll too. Kinda got the feeling that some kind of beat master was going to randomly show up out of no where and make things epic."

MrSatan looks over to where the music is coming from, and when he sees Jake he jumps out of his seat. He thinks to himself, "This place is definately weird. I need to think of a way to get out of here!"

Finn blinks a bit at Jake. "Ha. If anyone could beat 'em it'd be you, Jake!" He pats his bud on the head. "But that doesn't mean we can't party, man. Let's go grab some junk food and go party at the tree fort."

Rizar just falls onto his side while in standby mode. Looks like that's it for the night for him.

Avani holds up a finger to her chin and looks up at the sky thoughtfully. "I dunno." she responds looking back at the red-eyed interviewer. She crosses her arms trying to think more, trying to grasp what he actually meant instead of asking him to explain.

Kyuubey doesn't say anything further, apparently letting that question sink in as long as is needed. However, upon looking back toward him, one would notice his red eyes are no longer open, all of a sudden. Did he just... go to sleep, spontaneously? In this time, he remains ragdolled out over one of Avani's shoulders, limp as can be.

The word "Dangerous" gives the Pichu a moment of pause. One arm rests on the vicinity of her chin, before she speaks up with a: "Pichu...chuuu~chu-pi..Pichu!("Hmm, I'm not sure. How dangerous are we talking here?")" The small Pichu asks, leaning into Mogwai's hand

Mogwai ponders on how best to explain it "I've defeated a yoma, swam through a lava lake, tried to punch a god in the face, and all of that I came out without a scratch. Last trip on my exploration left me hospitalized for several days and I still have a broken arm."

Vinyl says 'What's this I'm hearin' about a kickin' rave, without yours truly providin' the freshest rhythms straight from Canterlot? It just isn't a party without DJ Pon-3 around. Who's ready to REALLY DROP SOME MAD BEATS?!'

Rizar looks at Vinyl.

MrSatan decides to tiptoe to the east towards the docks. But he trips on a rock and falls causing his jet-pack to hit the ground making a loud thud.

Avani suddenly feels Kyuubey go limb and becomes confused rather quickly. "Kitty? Are you sleeping?" she askes looking sideways only seeinf the red circle pattern on his white furred back. It was an odd marking for a cat to have. She lightly touches the red ring and traces her finger around his back following the line. "Hm."

"Hey, there y'go," Finn grins playfully at Jake as Vi shows up, nudging him gently. "I think you're really in it, man. But I'm on backup with the balloon music!" He holds up his inflated balloon.

Kyuubey makes no effort to acknowledge that he is still awake, if even he was. Perhaps even strange cat creatures have to recharge their proverbial batteries, too, from time to time. Nevertheless, he simply hangs over Avani's shoulder, obviously not minding her presence enough to prevent grabbing an abrupt catnap thereupon.
Action forced.

The Pichu goes wide-eyed at the mention of that and starts to shake a little: "P-pi-pi-pich-hu?("Uh...that's not the answer I was..expecting..")" The Pichu admits, she wrings her hands a little. "P-pichu?("Can I get back to you?")" She asks then.

MrSatan's jetpack malfuctions as it hits the ground, causing it to turn on and send him flying towards Finn!

Mogwai chuckles "Certainly. We do plenty of things that aren't as dangerous, and you're welcome to hang out with us for those any time."

Part of Jake is excited to hear this sudden new addition. Aww yeah, Finn's friends are always awesome. Friends? "Oh crap!" Jake shouts as he pulls the stomache drum in and reverts to normal. "Duude I totally left the stove on! Hold on, fried eggs! Jake's coming!" he shouts as he storms off to the north, back to Finn's tree fort no doubt.

Vinyl Scratch looks around, sunlight glinting off her glasses. "No one wants to hear my beats? Man, so lame."

Vinyl says 'And here, I was all amped.'

Finn blinks as Jake remembers that he's got stuff on the stove. "What?!" He stares after him, and he moves to dash after him. "Sorry, Vi!" He yells back to her, but this is important to him, too. Don't need the Tree Fort burning down or something!

Avani blinks in a subtle confusion at the sleeping cat in her arms. Instead of questioning it further she just simply accepted it and smiled cradling the strange white cat in her arms. "Goodnight" she says in a hushed tone before giggling slightly.

Luckly Finn had gotten out of the way, and MrSatan flies into a nearby bench where he passes out.

Vinyl Scratch shakes her head, trotting at a relaxed gait back to the Tree-fort. "I'm ditchin' this place. It's killin' my good vibes. Later, yo."

The Pichu stands up: "Pii~chu, pichu..chu-pi..!("Well, I have to be off! I have to find out where I am, and why I'm no longer with my trainer! See you later!")" The Pichu waves, and scampers away, towards the west and disappears down the street.

Mogwai waves the little pichu off, then staggers around the square "Huh... now where'd I park my bus, I need to get some sleep..."

Nagol flies down on his Warp Star and hops off it. He looks around and sees MrSatan and says, "Thats new, I hope he didn't have much trouble."

"I guess I'll stay at the Inn for tonight." Nagol says this as he walks south towards the Inn.

Avani looks around for the owner of Kyuubey, but he seemed to have left without him. "I can't leave you here all alone without your owner. You can stay with me!" she says happily standing up and with Kyuubey in her arms. "We can look for your owner tomorrow." she continues to the sleeping cat, as she starts to walk back to the place she currently was calling 'home'.
