				<div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/LnQrqRT.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>&nbsp; Gene&nbsp; <br><strong>Time:</strong> Morning<br><strong>Location:</strong> Swell Forest<br><strong>Action:</strong> Forest Exploration <br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Open, Nincada<br><hr><br>It seemed whike he was out foraging yesterday, Cassandra had taken notice of rather large tracks... This would definitely pose a problem to their eventual expansion further into the island past the beach, and so it was up to task of the explorers to investigate the cause... And if necessary/possible, do something about it. For a task like this, Gene was all too happy to volunteer. <br><br>There seemed to be much mist about, but Gene's natural compoundeyes would not make it terribly hard to navigate, able to pick out much more noticeable differences in the environment compared to the average explorer. For the most part, Gene kept a bag with various supplies on his back, along with several of those seeds he found while foraging... Perhaps they would prove potent if used at the right time. Though the other explorers had their choice of Pokemon from ship stock, Gene opted instead to bring his newfound Nincada along.<br><br>After all, what better to assist with these efforts than a Pokemon from this region? Whether it was actually <em>helpful</em> or not remained to be seen... But so far heet the insect Pokemon rest on his head while he looked about. "Hmm... The mist is pretty thick... It couldn't have been like this yesterday, right?" he mumbled quietly, before pressing his hands to a tree and starting to climb it. Even if the mist grew thicker, it wouldn't hamper him too much. Plus he could be ready to surprise anything that attempted to surprise the explorers on the ground. <br><br>"I don't suppose you know what could be causing this mist, could you?" he asked his Nincada ally quietly.

That had been... unreal for her. She had been swept up by the spider, and there was marks all over her from it. Markings on her breasts, and legs... even slight constricting marks from where he had bound her up in those silken webs. She had not expected the kind of night she got, but damn had she loved it. She crawled back into her tent in the early morning and had gathered supplies to get dressed and bathed in a nearby safe spot. She had nuzzled and snuggled up to Gene for a bit and napped, but had slipped away. <br><br>She smiled softly and just grinned as she stared up at the sky. Devlin was not far behind her, and he seemed pretty happy too. She was practically bubbling, bouncing, as she slipped her hands into the sleeves of the jacket. She was bouncing, grinning happily as she worked her way towards him. A grin on her face as she smiled at those there. Gene was there, and a Sylveon was there. <br><br>She noticed the tracks her ears twitching rapidly as her tail started to switch and snap. She gave an excited little wiggle as she looked at it. "Ohhhh that's interesting! I wanna check it out! What about you guys?" She asked as she grinned a bit, giving Gene a playful wink as she turned towards the Sylveon male. "Oh! I forgot to introduce myself last night. Hi! I'm Evelyn!"

He had been enjoying the party, and the company of everyone there. Took time to get to know a bunch of them, and even spread the word about him being a doctor. He'd been enjoying himself the entire time, and he was going to continue to enjoy himself. He had gotten up that morning, catching Evelyn on her 'walk of shame' back, and just chuckled as he got himself ready for the morning. He was quite amused at the way things were going now, and was more than happy with his new situation. <br><br><em>More than happy</em><br><br>He'd have plenty of work, plenty of eye candy, and plenty of amazing things to explore and learn. What was life but a journey towards understanding and knowledge? He was going to love every step of the way, and was going to keep pushing onwards towards the future he wanted. He watched the way his sister winked at the Spidery Gijinka, his brow slowly lifting as he cocked his head - ears twitching as he looked at Gene. He flashed gene a rather 'oh really' sort of look, as a laugh left him and he shook her head a little. <br><br>That was definitely Evelyn unleashed, but looks like she git off quite a lot for that first time without older brothers to cock block her. He clicked his tongue a bit and shook his head. "My my, Evelyn... you should get something <em>cold</em> on all those marks... However, did you get them? Deal with a particularly nasty critter?" He said with a flashing grin as he walked over and pressed on one of the ones on his sister's neck, snickering a bit as she released a yelping moan and almost buckled to the ground from the surprised touch on that marking. <br><br>He stopped and then noticed Maximus there as well, laughing softly. "Hey Max! How you doing after all the drinking last night!?"

It's not that heavy thankfully so Gene doesn't have to worry about the hat slipping down. From his tree perch he could see the broken trail is a bit winding, whatever did it doesn't exactly have the best attention span or maybe it couldn't move in a straight line? Whatever it was it had gone deeper into the forest and the track to the beach was a little overgrown with foliage that wasn't pressed down. It had clearly only come by here once a while ago and decided it didn't like the beach at all.<br><br>A two Taillow's and a larger Swellow cast small shadows on the group through the mist as they swooped over head, clearly watching the group with interest as they gathered themselves up. Thankfully the mist wasn't so thick that they couldn't press on into the forest when they were ready. It was enough that anything that relied on light or bright attacks would feel a little stuffy but it could have been a lot worse, if it did come to a fight it shouldn't cause too much trouble. Unless it got a lot thicker that is but what are the odds of that?<br><br>

Even she wasn't entirely sure where it had come from, but her old leek was gone and she'd woken up cuddling the vegetable so she just went with it. This had happened before and while it usually surprised others it was just a Farfetch'd thing to her at this point.<br><br>With her thick new veggiebaby in hand - not that she'd admit that she called them that, at least while sober - Jessica followed along behind the others. She'd also taken a pokeball for herself but she couldn't quite help but to feel far more secure with her vegetable than with the idea of a pokemon. <br>The mist was a bit of an issue, but she'd never learned how to deal with that sort of thing - the paperwork involved with messing with weather conditions was remarkably thick and bothersome so once she'd found that out she'd gone for the far more sueful flight skills instead. <br><br>"I can't really go too far without losing sight of you all in this," she began, glancing up at the sky. "But maybe I could have a little bit of a fly up there and see if I can see anything from above?"

Bryn seemed not to pay attention to the fact that it was biting him and was acting like it was completely normal. “Hello everyone.” He replied warmly, not at all tired from the walk to join them. He was carrying a rather large load of supplies, probably more than was really needed. Food to stop for a meal, nets, medical supplies, everything and everything that could possibly be useful on the trip, including stuff that probably wouldn’t but it always helped to be prepared after all! He was going to be ready and prove how good he was in a pinch despite his small size. Besides if worst came to worst he could use his bag as a club. So it all worked out anyway.<br><br>Still he was here to help so that’s just what he was going to do. This kind of thin was exactly why he had come ot the island after all. He was going to take whatever adventurer, guard, mercenary whatever other position of the adventuring physical persuasion&nbsp; that he could while he was here on the island and do what he couldn’t do back on the main land. “I’ve got plenty of stuff if somebody forgot something.&nbsp; I can also help lead! I’ve got a good nose and eyes! Plus I'm really strong.” He replied brightly wagging his tail while the poochyena continued to hold on despite its movement. “Oh and this is poochyena. Say hi Poochyena.”

"You might not be able to go far without losing visibility, but you can get over stuff that people can't jump over or that I might not be able to smash or cut through.&nbsp; Could you...carry someone while flying?"<br><br>His mind shifted more to how it would feel to be held against her while she flew than all of the really clever uses of being able to carry someone while in flight.&nbsp; Hopefully, no one would notice his thoughts were as impure as they were practical.

				<div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/LnQrqRT.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>&nbsp; Gene&nbsp; <br><strong>Time:</strong> Morning<br><strong>Location:</strong> Swell Forest<br><strong>Action:</strong> Forest Exploration <br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Other explorers<br><hr><br>Crouching on a sturdy tree branch, Gene looked down toward&nbsp; the others, especially Max as he inquired as to what coukd have made the tracks. It could have been anything, but Gene had a couple of theories... All of which he kept to himself as acting on incomplete intelligence was not in his best interests. For now, once he was able to see the tracks better, he would see if his guess had been partially right. <br><br>"I've got some theories, Nin... Though only one that might make any sense given the noticeable size. Between you and me, I'm kind of dreading it if it does turn out to be one." he frowned, adjusting his hat slightly. That whatever left the trails didn't seem to move in a straight line only partially reinforced his theory, but again it was still too early to prove anything.<br><br>The noise down below distracted him, spotting Evelyn and Devlin getting along with interacting with the others, reminding him that his evening yesterday was rather... Spirited. Definitely not how he expected to spend his first night on the island, but a worthwhile way. As Jessica made her offer, Gene called out from above. "Go for it, Jess, see what you can find. If you get too far, I'll fire an Electroweb straight up to give you an idea of where we are." he spoke, before looking to Bryn.<br><br>"That actually sounds good, Bryn! Take point and try to get us out of the fog, or at least help us follow those tracks better. If what I think is causing it is true, you might stand a better chance out of all of us if a fight breaks out."

Everyone was talking about their plan of attack and she cleared her throat for a moment. "It's a pleasure to meet you Max, and I'm not worried about what my brother has said... also Uh, I have an idea so we don't get lost." She said as she lifted her hand and moved in towards the rest of the group. Her hands bracing on her hips as her hip cocked to the side and her tail moved lazily behind her, her ears twitching as she grinned. <br><br>"Gene's pretty good with ropes, and knots, so what about a knotted rope that we use as a means to keep connected. Wrap it around the Points waist, and have it be held by everyone in the group. This way those on the ground can stay in touch while traveling in the fog?" She chirped rather cheerfully, it seemed she was in a really good mood, and she really was. Sure she was a bit sore, but she was more than happy to be going on this adventure. "Use everything at our disposal right? That's a great way to keep from getting lost. When me and Devlin did some cave travels we would use a similar method."<br><br>She seemed way too chipper but was also more than happy to prance her happy ass around with everyone. Though having a pokemon would probably help. She hadn't bothered to grab a ball before she left, she didn't really feel like it was 'her' pokemon. Considering everything, she needed to look at getting one in the near future. For now, for now, she's just enjoying her time with some pretty interesting people. She gave Gene a little wave after her suggestion and tried to ignore the fact that her brother was teasing her about getting laid. "As for potential fights breaking out, I'm good in a fight if needed?"

"Man that critter got you real good Evelyn, you should have slept in the tent last night, this is what happens when you let <em>strange</em> creatures near you." He teased playfully and then turned his attention - as a whole - towards the situation at hand. "Oh I never get hungover anymore. Unless I have several bottles - to myself." He said to Maximus as he mosied over to the other male and then turned his attention to the scene unfolding. <br><br>Having a direction, a purpose, having the ability to figure this out, was definitely needed. He tapped the medical kit he carried on him, holding more than sufficient supplies in case of their need. "We should have someone stronger take up the rear though, if Gene wants to use his ropes, then he should probably hold up the rear as he'd be the stronger of us to keep people from getting attacked from the back. While flight might be a great idea, I'm not sure how well we'd have the ability to see you if something happened." He added to the Farfetch'd girl that seemed to be enjoying her veggies quite a bit. <br><br>"We should probably make sure to grab some food supplies and water to be safe, though foraging is not too hard." he added with a small hum.

It had got a bite in and it wasn't going to give it up now! <br><br>Scaring up some supplies and a rope to knot is easy enough, the exploration supplies have plenty of either. The trail food seems to be mainly mixed nut bars and bottles of water but it should serve and tying two lengths of climbing rope together gives the group more than enough to keep everyone together without it being so heavy it'd be an issue. <br><br>Leading in the order they settled on, at first the forest is fairly quiet with just a loud Braviary making a racket somewhere in the distance, but eventually you hit the wrecked trail and the trees are a shattered mess, pushed over or completely crushed and smeared across the floor. It's hard to get a good judge of everything in the mist but Bryn can smell a heavy moss smell that doesn't match the area and Devlin is the first to stumble across what looks like a circle pounded into the ground with four smaller equally spaced holes punched into the depression like particularly large spears. It's a big enough print that both him and his sister could lie in it with some space to spare. <br><br>The trail extends both ways cutting across the forest and it's a little odd that the early recon that had been done yesterday hadn't spotted what did it. It must surely be hard to hide something this big right?

This was his chance to prove himself. That he was a good adventurer despite his small size. He couldn’t take this chance for granite. “I’ll be fine! I know I might not look it but I’m super strong too.” He insisted as he flexed his arms before he turned&nbsp; his attention to the path ahead to show off what he could do. Sniffing the air he began to make his&nbsp; way forward as he kept his nostrils open for anything that smelt strange or out of place. <br><br>He didn’t trip or anything even as the poochyena held on to his tail as he led the way. Soon the thick smell of moss that was strange and didn’t seem to match anything in the area. Pointing in the direction of the scent and&nbsp; sticking his&nbsp; tail straight out behind him he made his way towards the area. “That way!” He declared only to spot a strange circle shortly after Devlin. Of course, he had no idea what any of it meant. That wasn’t his specialty. “So we found a circle! Should I dig in the center? Circle marks the spot right?” He questioned&nbsp; aloud as he&nbsp; bounced up and down in the center.

And then kept going for a little while longer.Thanks for the offer, sweetcorn," she told him. "But having seen it from above, this looks like a footprint more than anything. A really quite big footprint. Too big, I'd say, but it's here and I guess we can figure out which way it's pointing and follow it. Then you can be a good boy and show us how strong you are."<br><br>"

Poochyena would help but really Bryn is doing such a fine job they're really just there for support and to bark at the Pachirisu. The moss smell winds along the crushed forest paths and the group only occasionally have to contend with scaling or circling a particularly large tree or small forest stream. It's quite a peaceful walk, if a bit hot and sticky. <br><br>Eventually Bryn comes to a small hillock and the smell leads them right up to the end of a path and a rocky Tor with grass growing along the edges. There's a single nest at the very top with a Natu sitting in it, watching the group with the usual big eyed interest, rolling about in its nest like it's a little bored and having fun with it. The smell is strongest at the top of the Tor for sure, though how exactly a Natu could ruin a forest isn't exactly very clear. They're more famous for being really good at hopping than causing widespread forest devastation.<br>

He half expected a ghost pokemon to burst out and go 'ooga booga' and terrify the ever living fuck out of all of them. He lit up a smoke and started to walk after the group, his gate calm and steady - and it seemed his breathing was very little impacted by the smoking he was doing. They got their way through, with the Farfetched woman and Bryn helping them along the way. This seemed to be their best course of action, and it took him a bit to get the scents out of his nose. <br><br>Even with the fog there was a strangeness in the air that had the male looking around. Eventually, it seemed, there was an even greater strangeness growing. They came upon a hill, and there was crushed foliage all around as they walked. This was the weirdest thing he had ever experienced. "Hey Eve... Watch your step, don't need you trippin'." The male said as he stared at the strange ass hill ahead of them. The strange smells got even larger, and a frown covered the male's face. So this was confusing, really confusing.

Trekking through the woods and smelling the scents of the crushed foliage made her nose twitch, and there were a few times she needed to rub her nose before she sneezed. She kept her eyes ahead, and paid attention to the way the others were walking, and kept her eyes peeled for anything weird. She definitely had to look into getting a pokemon of her own, but one would have to wonder what she'd get her hands on. She hadn't ever had a pokemon, she was always so focused on studies. <br><br>Then again, the reason they were here was to start a new life. She shot her brother a dirty look, mostly because he was constantly giving her sly ones. They both knew what happened, and his 'bug bite' comments were all based around an arachnid, not a bug. The wrong terminology, but she totally knew what her brother was getting at. She rubbed her nose, looking around the foggy space and then up at the hill before them. "Ok... so this is weird, but one has to wonder how any of this happened. Should we trek back and get some help, or do we wanna press onwards?" She asked the others as she scratched the back of her head, her ears twitched as she listened for any possible problems.

Plus there probably wasn’t some ancient treasure buried beneath it oo. He didn’t know which was more crushing. Still he couldn’t give up and he couldn’t help but wag his tail at the head pats. Kicking the ground a little and accidentally causing a rather large crack which he promptly ignored and pretended he didn’t do anything although he was pretty sure Poochyena was eyeing him. Still there was other things to worry about like that Xatu on the tree. It looked suspicious. Really suspicious! But he shouldn’t judge by looks. He certainly didn’t like it when he was told he wasn’t allowed to go on adventures or learn to fight because he was small. But he couldn’t do nothing either. Then he had it. A perfect idea. Reaching down he scooped up an acorn and chucked it at the bird’s head. “Oiiiii~ Can you tell me what’s happening in the forest. Please?” He questioned the fact that he had probably just beaned the bird in the head and that the pokemon might not be in the mood to answer him after that didn’t cross his mind. He had said please so that meant he was being polite.
