Who: Rhel, Sagi, Akira, Fai, Joss, and Efi | Rhel, Sagi, Joss, and Toki
Where: The ruins
When: At some point this month time is a lie
What: They are finally at Melona! Aaaand Gale's family is missing so that means rescue party go. | After finding her parents, they go looking for her brother.

[This is. So very stressful Rhel's used to having to go into ruins and whatnot, she's a bloody Warrior of Light after all, but she has so rarely been this invested in making sure everyone is okay. The Kings have to be okay. Poor Gale needs them to be okay.

Thankfully, it's not hard to find others who agree to go searching for the missing people, and getting supplies together doesn't take long at all, either.

Still, Rhel can't help but look at the ruins with some degree of trepidation.]

Twelve, I hope we have enough medical supplies...

[Sagi is a little too busy goggling to spare another thought for the collapsed stone right away.]

You turned back...

[So it wasn't something more run-of-the-mill like a heart swap...

Wait, no, he really shouldn't get hung up on that. Digging may be tricky while he's still looking after this bird, but there's a pile of rock, and he has a Ground-type.]

Uh, right. [Marshtomp helped with the other tunnel collapse, maybe he learned enough from Akira's Sandile to help with this one too. He takes a Pokeball out and tosses it high; it skims and almost bounces off the stone ceiling, which could have been bad, but skim is all it does. Marshtomp emerges from it when it hits the floor.] Help us move this, OK?

[Marshtomp burbles, waddles up to the blockade and starts ripping through it with his hilariously unsuited-looking fishy forelegs. It seems to be working, though.]

[Joss is successful in stopping Toki from tumbling to the ground. Hana-chan takes over from there, trying to tie Toki's bootlaces tighter so this won't happen again. She doesn't understand it's a size issue. Toki takes one look at the collapsed tunnel and holds up his broken hand, the cast mysteriously gone while he was Hien, weird.]

You'd ask a poor injured little boy to help move heavy rocks?

[He's 15, but he thinks 'little boy' will garner more pity than 'teenager' or 'young man'. Hana-chan looks up from her work to shake her head disappointingly at Rhel. Shame.]

[thaumewturge]

...well one, I didn't realize you were injured and two, you're a young man. Nice try.

[Joss can't help but shakes his head at the scene as he releases Drampa and starts helping Marshtomp in his rock-pushing endeavor. As inaccurate as "little boy" was, he can't ask someone with an injured hand to clear a half-collapsed pathway.

He won't say it, but he's thinking it might have been best if Toki had stayed behind with the guide...]

[scension]

...How old is Toki, anyway?

[He definitely wasn't looking at Toki when he said that, as he figures asking directly would blow Toki's "cover", but never mind that either.

As for the rocks... He'd thought letting the Pokemon with their better physical resilience do it would be safer, but just watching them makes Sagi feel bad about not helping, even a little.]

Um, sorry, Pepper. Hold on.

[He withdraws the shovel he brought from a card in his pocket and goes to assist. The valiant, only slightly traumatised little Pidgey barely emits any chirp of complaint at all. The cave-in isn't extensive, and soon the hallway is clear enough for even Joss to step through.]
