Preparations for the expedition had been extensive and the cargo was stacked high with crates and survival gear, a lot of which had been used to erect some very basic accommodation for the travel over that was more comfortable than ship hammocks. There were the inevitable few who couldn't handle sea travel who'd had a rough time of it and the small medical team led by the slightly too enthusiastic Nurse Honeydew had been very busy making sure everyone who wasn't still shaky from sea sickness was up to date on their Immunisers and Vitamins. You'd be healthy and like it!<br><br>The ship had anchored in the shallows and most of the morning had been left to the labourers to unload the ship of the starting equipment onto small punt boats or some of the more sturdy Water Types and get it all ashore. Captain Maxwell hadn't shouted at anyone all day so it was clearly going smoothly, he run a tight ship and the crew had got away with very little for the trip. Until the Mayor arrived in a later ship he'd be the Overseer for the expedition and was perfectly charming to anyone who did non-ship related things. How a Grass type ended up captaining a ship is something he's been teasing for a while but no one's impressed him enough to have him tell quite yet. <br><br>Apart from a few Wingull's floating round the ship hoping to steal some things and single Krabby on the beach watching everything with wide, curious eyes the beach is clear of Pokemon. Where they've all been is a mystery, maybe all the new faces has frightened them off! <br><br>There's been a whole morning for a bit of light exploration of the landing point and set up with the first few unloaded crates and by the time midday came around everyone's stomach is grumbling. Though the idea of eating any more packaged meals is a dire thought, so there's a real hope a few people have had a plan to find a different kind of meal for the deal. It wasn't that the packaged meals were bad, they just weren't good either. They weren't anything and the flavour packets were a lie. A cruel, cruel lie. <br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Captain Maxwell</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/a2/3a/26/a23a26039ba437694526300bc375358c.jpg)</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Nurse Honeydew</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/58/92/46/589246d5fa5671366d628eab72c00015.jpg)</div></div>

				<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/2whmP4N.png?1)(https://i.imgur.com/SlDjov6.png?1)</div><br><strong>Name:</strong>&nbsp; Alexa and Bessie Sears <br><strong>Location:</strong> Shore<br><strong>Action:</strong> unloading/setting up camp<br><hr><br>While some may have found themselves lacking in sea legs, for the young, lovey dovey, sometimes obnoxiously so, couple the trip went by quite smoothly. After all they were used to traveling damn near every day for Alexa's work, so the cramped conditions and constant motion didn't really phase them at this point. Hell Alexa had once straight up worked a show on a cruise trip once, so she was extra fit for the task. Even the row out to shore went smoothly. Despite being a fire type of the feline persuasion, Alexa didn't actually have much aversion to water, and Bessie had been swimmin' and fishin' the lakes in her old town for as long as she could remember (besides the two "flotation devices" on her chest ensured she was probably the least in danger of drowning of everyone on the ship). <br><br>"Alright everyone, let's get this stuff hauled out of here so we can kiss this bucket of rust goodbye for good!" Alexa declared boisterously as she hopped down into one of the punt boats, hoping to rile everyone up after the claustrophobic trip over. With a triumphant smirk she started calling for crates to get tossed down to her, catching and setting them in the boat with ease, "alright alright, what have we got here? One crate of provisions, check. One stack of lumber, check. One crate of hunting equipment, check. Oof, and one fine ass wife, double check" she cooed as Bessie suddenly tossed herself over the edge of the ship into her wife's waiting arms, "you ain't trying to stow away in the luggage, are you missy?" she teased, earning a giggle, "no, just thought I'd drop by while my big strong girl can still carry me" she cooed, momentarily distracted from the task at hand by a series of smooches, "oh what, you think I'm gonna wear myself out working today? You ain't getting off that lucky" Alexa growled into the cowgirl's lips, "hmmm, I dunno, there is a lot of cargo here..." Bessie teased, which hit the perfect spot right in the tiger woman's ego, "that a challenge? Alright, just don't be surprised when I'm slamming you around so hard to tonight it keeps the whole island up, you're gonna wish they had taken a whole extra ship full to wear me down" she boasted, "oh my, better get to it then tiger" Bessie chimed, punctuating it with another smooch. <br><br>From there the morning was more or less a blur of work. After getting dropped off on shore the first time Bessie got to work helping the others clear out a proper camp site for everyone, or at least the beginnings of one. While she may have looked like just a pretty house wife, she was used to helping raise barns and patch up stables, so basic stuff like this was no real sweat. Well, it was a lot of sweat actually, causing the miltank to glisten in the hot sun, perspiration trickling down her milky cleavage making her look like a tall glass of ice tea just sitting out waiting to be gulped down. It made it significantly harder for Alexa to ride the boat back to the ship every time they dropped a new batch of cargo off, her wife somehow looking even sexier each time they came to shore, though she managed to channel it as inspiration to get the job done quicker, which kept her chugging along even as others stopped for breaks, "Oi! come on pinky, we can't slow down now, we're almost at the promise land" Alexa exclaimed, coming up behind Maximus with a sharp yet friendly clap to the back, shifting a bit of his load onto her's to free up his burden a little, "The harder ya work now, the better that food's gonna taste when we're finally done. And I don't think I need to tell you what dire need we're in for some good tasting food after all that packaged crap" she added with a wide, cheeky grin, the kind that was annoyingly infectious.

				<div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/LnQrqRT.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>&nbsp; Gene&nbsp; <br><strong>Time:</strong> Midday<br><strong>Location:</strong> Forest region near landing <br><strong>Action:</strong> Foraging the Island/Exploring the area<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Open<br><hr><br>Much of the trip was spent with Gene sleeping, rocking peacefully in a dangling self-made hammock that rocked all the more comfortably along the boat ride. The Galvantula gijinka could be a very deep sleeper when he wanted to be, but it was more due to conserving his energy for when they landed. After all, while most of the others worked to unload amd establish the settlement they would stay at, he and a handful of others were to disembark and survey the surrounding area.<br><br>It had been some time since the ship made landfall and so it had been some time since he had entered the first region just beyond where they would set up the first civilization in Horizon Islands, as far as they knew. The Galvantula gijinka was an avid surveyor, finding the most unusual plants he could find and seeds affiliated with them, or unique materials that could potentially be used to help establish housing. Crouching down near some fallen seeds Gene crouched and picked one up, tossing it into his mouth and chewing it up.<br><br>"... Holy-!" Gene exhaled, holding his head high as a powerful short range fireball flew out amd dissipated into the air harnlessly. Something about that seed certainly provoked that... Shaking his head, he bundled more into a satchel, before standing upright and looking around. "Those are going to be fun for Haruka to look into. Let's see..." Gene hummed, looking about. Not far from the seeds were apples in a tree, and some fallen... Now those looked good!<br><br>He held his hand out, flicking his wrists and slinging several strings of webbing to retrieve as many of the apples at once as he could. Tugging them off the tree and off the floor, he pulled them close, before crouching and starting to stuff them into a bag, looking around the area to see if he'd missed anything else. Had anyone else come out to survey yet? He was one of the first ones out, so he couldn't be sure if others followed.

She knew vegetables, and had made very good use of them, but between time and the bellies of the passengers and crew, the ship's stock had dwindled and vanished, save for the one that she kept with her. But, well, she was a Farfetch'd and she was neither going to eat that one nor allow anyone else to try. <br>There would have been some quite dire consequences if such an attempt had started, that's for sure. <br><br>As time had gone on, however, she'd almost seemed to wilt, much like her leek. Still, finally getting off the boat and onto dry land seemed to be good for her, although, after stretching out her wings, she made sure to stay clear of the unloading. No point in getting in their way, after all, and she certainly was not going to let herself get roped into helping there. Oh no, her attention was on someone else, even before his fiery little display. <br>Moving swiftly and quietly as only a flying type could (or a ghost, or, well, okay, not <em>only</em> a flying type), she got as close as possible behind Gene before speaking up.<br><br>"Foraging for something fresh to eat?" Smiling softly, she nodded. "I think I'll join you. Now, lettuce begin!" She gave an enthusiastic gesture with her leek, before pausing. "...or should we wait for others?"

He was quietly, peacefully collecting food for latee, but the sudden voice all but made him jump with an "Ack!", his hands flinging upward with a wild sputter of webbing. The material lances upward like mini geysers before falling upon him and the woman with a messy display, as he frowned and sighed. One hand came up, peeling a bit of webbing off his face, before he flung it against a nearby tree.<br><br>"Thanks, Jessica, that's just what I needed, webbing bukakke." Gene frowned, standing upright and turning around to face the Farfetch'd gijinka, and realizing it hit her too with a wry grin. The ships, and overall expeditions' cook and general dietician, he was surprised she came to help instead of making food for the others... But at the same time, it was better to actually survey and <em>find</em> food since their supplies had dwindled some. "Yeah, thought it would be a good idea to get some food for the others in between searching for unique plant samples for Haruka to research or materials for our construction workers to use. The trees around here seem pretty stur-" He stopped and blinked, catching her words.<br><br>"Did you just food pun?" he quipped, using the moment to pull the webs off his body. "I'm all for waiting, I'd like to return to the settlement with as much in one trip. Haven't run into anything else yet out of the ordinary." he hummed, reaching forward to peel some off her cheek. "Been a while since I saw that, haha~"

He did his best to not sound sickly, because even if he didn't feel cheerful right now he knew that even the crappiest island in the world would be better than this boat.<br><br>He swore, in that instant, to build a giant sea bridge so he wouldn't have to go on a boat ever again.<br><br>"Even if you're wrong, getting done so we can get off of this boat and not be...how do they say it 'green around the gills'." He tried to smile winningly, it was really more of a grimace.&nbsp; That sounded lame even to him, and all of this banter wasn't making his load any lighter.&nbsp; So he hurried his slightly lighter load along, as suggested.

A calming feeling came over him as he looked around. " this is what was needed" he explained as he grabbed his luggage and made a quick mental check of what was in it. " Ok. I have My tools and my small projects. My safety googles and apron." A look of terror filled his face. "Forgot to pack my pencil!" he exclaimed as he started to dig in his bag to confirm. " How could I forget that? After this whole journey and thats what i forget. I cannot go back, but what if they do not have pencils here. I came here with nothing." <br><br>A small shift in the sound was heard as he looked down and laying in the sand was his pencil it had slid out from behind his ear. His face fell calm and he had a sigh of relief. " That could have ruined everything." he said as he repacked his stuff. Once done he looked in landed and wondered what lay ahead of him in life.

				<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/G3rtwJt.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Bryn<br><strong>Time:</strong> Midday<br><strong>Location:</strong> Swell Landing Beach<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Dr. Tox, open<br><br>Bryn had like any sensitive Gijinka stayed in the center of the ship far far away from the ocean where he didn’t have to worry about falling over the side. Not that he was the scared of the water. He wasn’t afraid of anything. Things were scared of him. He was terrifying even if he was a bit on the short side. But he was tuff so it all worked out in the end. Even if nobody else on the mainland had been able to see it. Out here though he would get a chance to show off just how great he was and that he could take care of himself and handle a more physical job. He’d show them all just how tough he could be! Rawr!<br><br>First thing’s first though taking on one of the current assignments. Loading and unloading, foraging or setting up camp. It was hard to choose where to start.&nbsp; Well he supposed they could use some supplies. Making his way&nbsp; down from the boat, not at all in a hurry so he was no longer in the middle of the ocean and moved off&nbsp; into the forest area to help gather stuff they would need to start setting up camp. A nice stock of wood would go a long way so that’s exactly what he did. Heading a little way into the forest area he began to gather some wood. Albeit probably too much as after re turned he was carrying a pair of trees on his small shoulders which looked like they might have been torn right out of the ground. They could be trimmed and cut into regular pieces later.&nbsp; After putting them down at the edge of camp he figured he was off to a good start or at least he thought he was when he made a small mistake.<br><br>His mind wandered to figuring out what his next task should be, and he wasn’t paying much attention to where he was going when he accidentally ran into some guy in a green outfit with a small “oof” Hopefully he hadn’t knocked the guy down or at least hadn’t hit him too hard. “Oh, I’m sorry about that!” He apologized as he lowered his head and rubbed the back of his head with an abashed smile. “Are you alright? Need any help?” He offered as he looked to see if the man had dropped anything he could pick up or help the other male up if he had fallen over.<br><br>

				<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/hehoECf.png)</div><strong>Name:</strong>&nbsp; <strong>Azalea </strong> <br><strong>Time:</strong> Midday<br><strong>Location:</strong> Swell Landing Beach <br><strong>Action:</strong> Foraging the Island/Exploring the area<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Open<br><hr><br>"Oh Puff!" Azalea did not like what she saw over the rail of the ship. Sand, woods, wilderness. And not an exhibition hall in sight. She was starting to think that her plan wasn't as brilliant as she had made it out to be at the beginning of the voyage. Actually, she had started to think that when she had gotten on the boat.<br><br>The Plan was simple. She would come to The Horizon Isles, and as she would be the only idol on the islands, would become their greatest idol by default. From there, it was a simple process to translate that into worldwide stardom. Certainly much easier than trying to make it in a big city chock full of would be idols. <br><br>What she hadn't counted on was that the demand for singing sensations here was practically none. Which meant there was no infrastructure. How was she going to pack stadiums if there weren't any stadiums to begin with? The only answer she came up with was to build one. And Famous Idols simply didn't spend their time building stadiums. Or farming. Or drawing water. Or the millions of other things that had to be done here. But she'd manage, especially since the only other alternative was to swim back, or worse yet, stay on the boat and eat more of that disgusting food. She'd take her chances in the woods.<br><br>So down she went, a pink bag in each hand, doing her best to breathe in the sea air and seem positive about the whole experience. Sadly, that is not what came out of her mouth.<br><br>"Oh, Piff!"

If you carry a smaller load each time you'll be able to make each trip more efficient y'know" she cooed. She clearly didn't mean to come off as condescending or patronizing, but it was no doubt a bit of a blow to have a woman tell you not to push yourself too hard regardless. Not to mention Alexa herself didn't seem to have that same philosophy towards her own workload, casually taking on more and more weight as she loaded up the boats one after another. <br><br>"ah, feeling sea sick huh? You're not alone by the looks of some of the others. Hey, at least we're at the final stretch right?" she said, again clapping him on the back as she brought another load by, though this time she paused to gently knead her palm between his shoulder blades, and to his surprise he would find his sea sickness lifting slightly, enough to relieve some of that haggard expression at least, "hang in there Pinky, I believe in ya!" she cooed, hopping over onto another punt boat to start filling up that one next<br><br><div align="center"><strong>-----------------</strong></div><br>Meanwhile Bessie gently hummed a tune as her fellow campers got the initial campsite up and ready to go. Right now it was just a bunch of tents and workbenches assembled from the supply crates the boats brung ashore, but it would do. In the center sat a large, rather impressive fire pit, that would act as both the camp's main fire and cooking station. It had been assembled using rocks they dragged over from across the beach, and piled high with driftwood and fallen tree branches, "whew, alright, now ta get this fire goin' and then all we need to do is wait for the foragers to get back with somethin' tasty..." she mused, patting her hands with a proud nod at their handiwork, "oh, speakin' of, HEY DARLIN! GOT A LIGHT!?" Bessie called out to the sea, and a moment later a ball of flame came hurtling from one of the punt boats, hitting the fire pit with frightening precision, causing it to roar to life in an instant, "THANK YOUUUU!" the girl called back with a wave.

Please leave my bags by the clearing over there," the young woman pleasantly directed after gracefully setting down from the landing boat, smiling as she let the porters bring her belongings to a spot she can easily get to and set up a temporary location for her work. During the voyage to the island the Petilil gijinka had time to learn some of the necessary things for a sea voyage - getting used to the everyday life on a ship was harder than it sounded. Fortunately her leaves helped out in keeping nausea at bay, and occasionally releasing soothing scents helped out the rest of the crew too.<br><br>Gene was nowhere in sight. The Joltik adventurer has agreed to help her gather various herbs, allowing her to focus on studying the samples and determine how to best use them while setting the new outpost up. He definitely was a spirited individual and full of energy.<br><br>She paused briefly when she overheard one of the fellow passengers of the seaborne vessel let out an exasperated remark, noticing Azalea looking upset at the sight of the island.<br><br>"Is there something the matter, Ms Azalea?" Haruka asked with a little tilt of her head to the left, curtsying in greeting the Jigglypuff acquaintance, "It sounded like things were not in order. Did you forget anything from the ship?"

There was sense in it being a wasted trip when one was expecting to study new plants and other vegetation, only to find a barren island. It wouldn't do much for her to study anything else with the tools she brought that way.<br><br>"I see..." Haruka remarked as she looked to where Azalea was directing her gaze, before looking back to the Jigglypuff acquaintance, "Well, if an island wouldn't have any plants on it, I suppose the next course of action would be to figure out why there aren't any plants. Maybe it is possible to grow new plants on the island?"<br><br>Haruka was simply thinking out loud regarding her thoughts as she then moved forward to the camp site. Once she got past the beach and stepped on the grassy section of the island, Haruka produced a seed from under her hair and carefully crouched down to plant the seed at a part where there was soil present. The seed sprouted quickly, turning into a small sapling that collected nutrients from the soil and sent it to Haruka as a sphere of verdant energy.<br><br>"Mmm... The soil tastes just right for plant life to grow properly," Haruka happily remarked as she then brought a hand to pull out the sproutling created from her leech seed, "Looks like there won't be any problem raising crops when the need arises."

More were collected, especially once Gene took notice of the Bluk Berry Bush. "There's so many... I don't believe it!

So having given herself ye olde peppe talke, she was totally ready for what came next.<br><br>"Oh, Piff!" Those spores that just emerged. were, among other things, uniquely fragrant, which meant they could attract all sorts of attention. And even Azalea would admit that there was the occasional moment when certain kinds of attention could be defined as unwanted. "We'd better stop the things before... well before we attract something that can do some really piffy things to us." And so she <em>ran.</em> And even though every good idol keeps up with her exercise regimen, chasing after white reproductive blobs was not what she had in mind for this afternoon's entertainment. After a few hundred yards of outright sprinting, Azalea had become a bit winded.

I mean it's not as glamorous as going out fighting in the ring or something like that, but if it makes sure my little tenderloin is safe I'll consider it a noble death" Alexa mused, acting as if she was going to nobly sacrifice herself just by testing a few plants, "oh darling, you're so brave..."

Alexa called up to the regal dragon as she soared above everyone in the least subtle bit of symbolism she had seen all day, "CUTE PANTIES BY THE WAY!"

It would make for a good start on someone’s shelter for the evening or if it would be better to dig a fire pit first so the wood could be used to cook something and they could eat something other than rations.

It was settled into a ball on the palm of her hand now, compact and the surface of it swimming with light green smoke patterns. <br><br>"A Safeguard pill just for you! Pop it in and I'll keep an eye to make sure it'll last a while in you. You are staggeringly healthy so I doubt it's going to be an issue, but you never know! Some of us do have our little oddities."<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Nurse Honeydew</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/58/92/46/589246d5fa5671366d628eab72c00015.jpg)</div></div><br><hr><strong>Jessica and Gene</strong><br><br>The Nincada approached real slow to get a bite of that berry, but wary as it is when it looked at Gene it seemed to calm it and settle in to eat. At least until it's gaze fell on Jessica and it grabbed its bit of the Berry and scurried behind Gene's leg to eat there away from the scary flying type lady. She'd no doubt eat the bug right up, what a horror!<br><br><hr><strong>Haruka and Azalea</strong><br><br>Doing a little twirl with the Parasol, Azela is able to mop up the spores fairly easily. They were a simple target and it even looked a bit showy with how she gathered them in with her twirls. They didn't last long once gathered, eventually fading away like most things summoned by moves did. Most but not all, the rules on it were something Scientists were still trying to work out. <br><br>Haruka meanwhile finds the crate marked for cultivating rather easily. Smaller than the farming crates, they came with the seed packs and basic tools to start a herb garden and a few berry pots. Making more would be down to a potter or a carpenter but when you'd be able to get that started is anyone's guess! You even got a few bags of soil in case the stuff here was not as good as expected, but if anything the opposite is the problem. What you could grow here is a bit of a mystery! <br><br><hr><strong>Bryn and Dr Tox.</strong><br><br>The fire pit had been started already but depending on Bryn's skill, making the starting frame wouldn't be a trouble. They had been given a few flatpack buildings to get them started and all it took was a careful hand to work out the diagrams and put together the right slots and they'd soon have a few two person beach houses to crash in for the night. If they didn't manage to finish all of them then there was always the expedition teams tents. They had a lot of those, because new tents were not something they were likely going to get until the second fleet and running out would be a very bad situation indeed.<br><br>The building instructions unfortunately were not great diagrams. Something in the universe conspired to always make instructions like these a little more obtuse than needed.<br><br><hr><strong>Cassandra D'Argives</strong><br><br>Soaring high, Cassandra saw they had landed on the beach and jungle section of the islands, but that was the plan after all. The plains lacked the raw resources to get started and the Swamp was obviously bad idea. As was the desert, mountains and ice! The central island was interesting with its giant tree, but not nearly large enough for you to get going either. <br><br>As she dipped down closer to the Jungle with a sweep of her powerful wings she took in the more local landmarks. There were caves and a mountaintop lake past the jungle itself, while the Jungle had a few large tracks cut through it, though what had done that wasn't immediately apparent. It wasn't road like, more like something had just crushed a trail about as wide as a house completely flat with broken bits of trees scattered everywhere. Perhaps most interesting was a single clearing in the Jungle with a few flowers beds and small shack that looked like it'd fallen apart as the thatch roof had sloped off. Squares had been put out in it with ropes on the ground and a few barrels and crates laid about it broken to pieces. <br><br>You hadn't heard of anyone settling on the islands before you, but that doesn't mean a few expedition teams or curious adventurers hadn't gotten here first. A lot of Gijinka loved to go out into the unknown, you'd brought a whole ship full of them even! So it wasn't totally unexpected...<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">The Islands!

It sounded nice to have a different diet planned. Of course, that all depended more on how much food they could bring back and how reasonably they could get a plantation set up for all this. Big dreams were just that, but the reality was that they were on unfamiliar land. He could only hope Haruka, Cassandra, and the others had found a reasonably colonizable space.<br><br>For now, Gene was pleased the Nincada at least trusted him enough to skitter out and nibble on the Bluk Berry, but he noticed how skittish it seemed around Jessica... Not surprising at, given she was a Farfetch'd. He chuckled softly, before turning his attention back to Jessica. "It might help to have a local that knows this area on-hand. Plus, we should be acclimating with locals anyway; We have it rough enough trying to start new civilization out here on the Horizon Islands without making nuisances of ourselves to other Pokemon." he nodded, before looking down to the Nincada.<br><br>"Don't worry, she's good people." he added, before looking upward, spotting a small silhouette very high up. It seemed like someone was doing the scouting for them... Perhaps things were moving along smoothly? "We've got plenty of Apples, Berries, Seeds, and Veggies so far... Some of this stuff I haven't even seen before. I think this is a decent haul for an initial excursion, unless you can pinpoint something out of the ordinary that might be good to bring back." he nodded, webslinging the bags of food he'd built uo, before leaking them to dangle over his back while he grasped the silk string that held them all.<br><br>"Ready to go, little one?" he asked the Nincada.

She got back to Azalea keeping the spores from spreading with an admiration to the Jigglypuff's moves. Setting the berry pot beside the unusual plant, Haruka then got down to her knees and proceeded to dig the surrounding area of the plant to keep the soil it was rooted on intact.<br><br>"Okay, now to place it on the pot..." the Petilil lady said to herself as she carefully held the packed soil the plant was rooted to, picking it up and inserting the whole thing into the pot in one practiced motion. She then got up with the pot held in her gloved hands, smiling as she regarded the unusual plant sample that resulted from her planting.<br><br>"Hai~ Isn't it a beautiful flower?" Haruka said as she showed the plant to Azalea, a fruit of their cooperation to keep things under control. They still had no idea what the spores could do, but Haruka could figure that out later once she had a place to work on it.

And it truly was a beautiful sight that made even her, the rather haughty and proud dragon that she was pause in awe. Unfortunately, the moment of awe that the impressive vista had triggered was rather short lived due to the impertinent comment made by the peasantry down upon the ground below. They HAD DARED TO LOOK UP HER SKIRT!!!!??? There was a burst of primal rage, and the air around her suddenly flickered with flames that didn't seem quite natural as her rage manifested itself. She very nearly allowed it to be vented, allowed the manifestation of her rage to lash out and strike the impertinent people below. <br><br>But she resisted. As much pleasure as it would bring her to strike down those who had dared make such inappropriate comments about her, she knew that they were important to the expedition and so she would suffer this momentary slight. But later, later the dragon girl would have her vengeance. After all, her kind were hoarders, both of gold, and of grudges and old feuds. She would not easily forget this!<br><br>She redirected her attention to the expanses visible down below her, and in particular to the way it appeared that someone had been there previously with some kind of small settlement in a clearing. That would definitely need to be investigated. In fact it was a very real threat to her family's plans to turn much of the islands into their domain in the long term. This evidence of a previous group and excursion needed to be looked at. Of course she didn't intend to go alone, after all while she was fully capable of protecting herself with her draconic power, it was only fitting that a lady of her station be accompanied.<br><br>As such she descended from the sky and hovered above the camp that was being set up. "I have sighted evidence of a previous settlement. I require volunteers to accompany me into the jungle to investigate it. Those with the courage and will to aid me are welcome to join me in this endeavor. Remember that the D'Argives family will generously reward those who assist in its endeavors."

Evelyn mostly kept to herself, reading books - preparing skills. She practiced her knife work, and just generally relaxed like she hadn't in her entire life. While she had been 'spoiled' in some people's eyes, she had a rather sheltered life that left her having to learn things on her own for the bigger picture in life. Now that they were at this new encampment, Evelyn was getting ready to burst free. <br><br>Except as soon as they had landed Devlin had kept her back. He had her helping haul all of his medical supplies - back and forth - and also there was the fact that he was basically using her to get things ready while he scavenged around the edges of the beach looking for outcroppings that could be used. He wasn't gone for long, but when he came back people were working on getting things together. <br><br>The comment about an abandoned settlement being found - had both of the twins looking at each other. The Silvery Eevee, and the brown eevee, both seemed to be quite amused at the possibilities of this island. "I tend to agree with the lovely woman that said setting up a safe place should take priority for the moment. As a medical professional I can assure you that having a safe place to bring potential injuries to is the best bet." He said as he searched through his supplies. Getting shipments in would be hard, but he was a smart man and packed everything and anything he would need for his own habits. "Getting shelter set up, and getting our medical facilities up and running should be first priority.

He's a Doctor, and I just sort of do everything. We came here for new chances at life. I'll go explore a bit if you like, I wouldn't mind stretching my legs, and I've got to get a handle on how things are around here." Evelyn said in a chirping tone as she rocked back on her heels, her hands locked behind her back now as she gave her cutest 'puppy' dog look to her brother, who's shoulders all but caved. <br><br>"You're just looking to stir up trouble, but fine." He muttered as he dropped down, having procured his smokes from his pack. "Anyone have any idea on what medical supplies we have, other than the ones I packed and paid for?"

Eyes narrowing and expression suddenly sharping to a razor focus, the former prize fighter stepped forward in front of her wife, sticking her arm out to usher the cow girl behind her, "Heheh-huh? umm...what's wrong...?" Bessie murmured, very quickly picking up on Alexa's serious demeanor. For a moment she was confused, even a bit worried, but at the same time her heart fluttered a bit, she absolutely loved that intense expression of hers! Alexa didn't answer, but kept her eyes dead locked on Cassandra as she flew off, ready to intercept an attack at any moment, and not relaxing until she was good distance away, having abandoned whatever retaliation she had initially planned, "It's nothin'...be careful around that woman..." Alexa sad firmly, reaching up to pat Bessie's head affectionately, but slightly possessively. <br><br>With a sigh the fire cat turned back to nurse honeydew, putting back on her big, cheeky grin from earlier, "yeah, seems like everyone's gonna be busy for a hot minute. Though when your schedule clears up let us know, maybe we'll make a house call" she cooed, snatching the glowing green pill from the nurse, "huh...so just pop it in? Well I hope you mean through the mouth!" she exclaimed, flicking the pill into the air and catching it in her mouth, swallowing it down with an audible gulp, "honestly you know it would have been more fun the other way" Bessie teased with a wriggle of her eyebrows, earning a hearty chuckle from her wife, "Hey if you want to take the pill next time I have no problems with that" Alexa cooed, giving her a sharp swat on the behind. <br><br>Just as their business with the nurse was concluding, the panty flashing dragon touched back down and announced she had discovered an old settlement of some kind, "wow, neat, did you flash them your crotch too?" Alexa joked, though there was a slight air of...'challenge' in her voice. The threat of attack hadn't gone unnoticed by the former fighter, and while she had no problem with people wanting to take a shot at her, it was a different story when her wife was involved, "how about we wait till after lunch? I don't think anything good's ever come from exploring ancient ruins on an empty stomach..." she mused, both Alexa and Bessie flinching when one of the punt boats suddenly came crashing to shore, the rider laughing like a maniac as she almost sent it smashing into their stockpile of supplies. <br><br>"Eh!? What in the world was tha-Hwah!? Alexa!" Bessie called out, tugging at her wife's arm and dragging her up to the shore, pointing to the ocean, "look! someone's in the water!" she called, the couple completely forgetting about Cassandra as the more pressing incident made itself known, "What the hell? Pinky!? Oh crap" Alexa exclaimed, her cute little buddy desperately scrambling for dear life as he clung to a floating crate, "Bessie!" she called, grabbing her wife by the hand, "I know!" she shot back, holding on tight to Alexa's arm as the fire cat started swinging her around and around. With a grunt of effort Alexa hurled Bessie with a seismic toss, launching the cow girl out into the ocean where Maximus was splashing. With a gracefully little roll Bessie spun in the air into a dive, piercing the water cleanly and swimming up to the pink haired twink, "Hey! Grab on to me, I'll swim us back to shore" Bessie called out to him above the splash of the waves. Of the two of them, Bessie was the stronger swimmer, thus why she had been the one to swim out to him. Not to mention she had a more buoyant set of...er..."flotation devices".

It wouldn’t be as nice as a flat back, but it would make due until he could get up an extra one for himself. “I’m going to start building shelter for everybody Tox.

However as her arm coiled around him and her super buoyant and legit flotation devices pressed up against his back, his sudden shout gave her pause, a brow raising in surprise and confusion, "pokeballs? What are you...?" she muttered, nudging past him to peer into the hole he had chopped in the crate, eyes widening in shocked realization, "Oh sweet Arceus!" <br><br>This was certainly a problem. There were tons of pokeballs in here! And with each lap of the waves more water threatening to pour in through the hole Maximus had created. The padded crate wouldn't maintain it's buoyancy for long like this. Seeing the pink haired boy fighting to keep himself above water Bessie hugged him tight using the crate as leverage to keep them both hoisted up, "Alright honey, stay calm and hold on tight, I have an idea" she said, taking a moment to take a deep breath, "thank arceus momma insisted on buyin' all those HM's...ok hon, I need you to help me keep this crate straight as we shoot for the shore, keep this hole facing forward and don't let too much water wash in" she said, before closing her eyes and pulling a little trick out of her sleeves. <br><br>Suddenly the water around them would start to stir, even harder than before. Bessie would tighten her grip both on Maximus and the box as a huge wave rose up beneath them, the two gijinka riding a Surf wave that swept them all the way back to shore, "hold on to your butt!" she shouted as the camp, which seconds ago had seemed so far away, suddenly zoomed closer and closer, "WATCH OUT!" she cried out to others gathered on the beach, as the wave came crashing down. Most of it was broken on the shore line itself, but it managed to send out a massive splash of water in it's wake, enough to spray those lingering about the camp and even dowse the fire pit. But when the water pulled back and the tide returned to normal, both Bessie and Maximus would be safely on shore, with the crate of pokeballs in tow, "ugh...you ok hon?" Bessie asked, glancing down at Maximus, only to find herself staring down at his crotch instead of his face, "eh?" she muttered, glancing around confused. It seemed they had ended up jumbled around as they washed ashore, Bessie landing ontop of Max, his face now smothered beneath her voluptuous posterior, "Oh! Eheheh, sorry about" she cooed, lifting up her hips, not wanting to save the boy from drowning only to end up suffocating him.

He nodded, trying to smile but it came out more like a grimace.&nbsp; He looked to his side, not bothering to move, and saw the crate.&nbsp; "Thank you."<br><br>He reached to push it away from the water, but it was a faltering motion that barely let his finger tips touch the box anyway.&nbsp; He gave up on it.<br><br>The crate's passengers were safe.&nbsp; He was safe.&nbsp; Bessie was safe.&nbsp; That was pretty good, all told.&nbsp; He was never going near the ocean again.&nbsp; He could live on this island for the rest of his life.&nbsp; And he'd never run into a situation where he fell off of a boat piloted by Chardonnay ever again.<br><br>His mind grasped on a detail he had neglected, and he gasped.<br><br>"I-is Chardonnay okay?" he asked with wide eyes.&nbsp; He looked around, but his viewpoint was limited.&nbsp; "I...I didn't see crates in the water, or her, but...so much was going on!"<br><br>He took another deep breath, searching for calm, and let it out.&nbsp; Tears pricked at his eyes at the thought of her having not made it.&nbsp; &nbsp;The ocean was very cruel.&nbsp; It could have easily taken the whole boat and she could still be out there!&nbsp; If she had hit her head on something, she wouldn't be able to swim!&nbsp; He wanted to go right out there and find her.&nbsp; The overwhelming fear that made him want to move away from the water entirely was just a tiny consideration.&nbsp; Not the real reason that he needed to justify.&nbsp; Between the fatigue and the angel of mercy nearby that would surely pin him down if he tried to go back out, he didn't have a prayer of mounting a rescue.<br><br>He could only hope someone else had saved her, or she had gotten ashore safely some other way, while he cowered on the shore, just seconds away from crying.

There had been a long standing, excited rush when the call of land spread and Naami thought it best to stay out of everyone's way. Remaining below decks, they worked in darkness to haul out the crates even at the farthest reaches of the hold. Only once it was nearly clear and the sounds of thunderous feet above had died down did Naami finally come topside. <br><br>Wincing beneath their mask from the sudden brightness, Naami was once again grateful for their layered protection. They continued to keep to shadows as much as possible and lingered on the deck, checking the constitution of the sailcloth while it became quieter and quieter, the passengers finally mostly afoot on land. Naami sighed and moved to undo the ties on one of the remaining row boats. The careful task of lowering it slowly and gently into the water was ruined as a startled Naamio dropped it nearly 10 feet when a flying bovine girl cut through the air and dived into the sea not very far away. Somehow Naami had missed the pale boy working at the errant crate until then and was utterly confused at the sight of them. The thought occurred to row the boat over to help, perhaps doing so would set things off on the right foot for once? Sadly they weren't quick enough to put the little plan into action and found their tiny boat bobbing from the spread of the waves of the sudden surf. Naami was stunned for a moment at the powerful display but soon put paddle to water and made their way to a far side of the burgeoning base camp. <br><br>They discretely took in the scenes around them and pondered if there was a place to fit themselves into. Years of rejection made slipping into the negative all too easy so Naami reminded themselves of the emergency plan they had repeated over and over to themselves on the long trip. "Shelter. Fire. Water. Food..." they said aloud, counting them off for the 59th time. Naami scanned the generous supplies; it was a relief but the flatpack buildings were usually for at least two to share. No one would want to bunk up with the spooky carpenter. It would be better to pitch a single tent not too close to be a bother, but close enough to enjoy the convenience of the settlement. Naami went about quietly setting their new residence up.

However Bessie opted not to call the poor thing out on it, after all it seemed like a natural reaction given the situation, and she was more than flattered to be the source of such a vigorous response. Besides considering he had almost just drowned to death, making sure he didn't pop and awkward boner was probably pretty low on his priority list at the moment, rightfully so, "good to hear, and don't mention it hon, we ain't gonna lose anyone this early in the game" she chuckled, peering down at him between her legs with a smile, though her thick thighs made for a rather narrow window to try and see him through. <br><br>"Eh? Chardonnay? You wouldn't be talkin' about that bird lady by any chance? I'm pretty sure she's fine, she came crashing in laughing like a maniac without a care in the worl-ack!" &nbsp;Bessie explained, abruptly cut off by the strong arms of her wife crushing around her in a big ol' bear hug, "Baby! That was amazing!" she cooed, rather than worry and concern her voice was flush with pride and admiration, obviously impressed by the girl's heroics, "that was freakin' genius with that tidal wave, and the way you just took charge like that, damn I love you" she cooed leaning in and catching Bessie's lips in a deep, passionate kiss. <br><br>While it was definitely a romantic moment, the extra weight of Alexa leaning against Bessie accidentally caused the girl to drop right back down onto Max's face, pressing down even heavier than before. His nose would wedge in deep between her cheeks, his vision suddenly lost to pitch black, jiggling darkness, "Mmph!?Mmmrrmmmmmm...." Bessie jolted, eyes widening as Alexa's rocking forced her to grind herself against the boy's face, sending a tingling shiver up her spine that made her moan gently against her wive's tongue. Suddenly she found herself assaulted on both ends, unintentionally riding Max's face while Alexa passionately ravaged her mouth. Again Max would find some "water" splashing into his mouth, though unlike the salty, icy cold spray of the ocean, it was warm...and strangely sweet...for some reason all the times Bessie called him "honey" suddenly came to mind...and in that moment the thin, damp cotton of her panties may as well have been a 5 inch thick wall of steel, frustratingly blocking him from that sweet skin on skin contact...<br><br>"Mwuah! You know all this hard work and heroism is really working up an appetite, and suddenly I'm craving <em>beef</em>...""w-wait...Alexa..." Bessie murmured, face flushed red, lower lip quivering. Biting her lip the cow girl pointed downwards, and the confused cat followed it all the way down to..."Pinky!?" Alexa exclaimed, suddenly hefting Bessie up off of him with a single hand, hefting the girl over her shoulder as she smiled down at Maximus, "you sure are anxious to show your gratitude ain'tcha? though maybe you should catch your breath first before you go getting yourself smothered heheh!" she cooed with a hearty chuckle, seemingly unfazed by the fact he was just buried face first in her wife's ass, offering her hand down to help lift him up, "Sorry again hon, eheheh, I swear I usually make more normal introductions than this" Bessie called from over Alexa's shoulder, still blushing from the whole incident, a glistening trail of wetness running down her inner thighs, and it probably wasn't sea water.

"Man, it's been a while, good to see a familiar face." Gene smiled as he beheld the naked Celia, which reminded him it had been <em>way</em> too long since he last saw her. When she spoken to Jessica, he nodded.<br><br>"Celia here prefers to talk to your mind, so don't be spooked if you suddenly hear things no one else can." the Galvantula gijinka hummed, still on all fours to hold up Jessica while sheltering the Nincada below. Shaking his head, he looked back to Celia. "Means you've got no rooming arrangements then... If the rooms get prepared quickly enough, we can get you situated easily at my. Otherwise, I'll probably just hang out in a silk hammock near the forest lIke i used to."

Being strong did have its advantages after all. There were other issues that probably needed to take care of, but he was most certainly not the guy who should be trusted with getting water. Nope dealing with copious amounts of water was a bad idea, completely bad idea and he would have nothing to do with it. Of course, he could help and show how competent he was but still it was large pools of water. It was hard to decide. Thankfully before he could think too much about this kind of thing he was distracted by the arrival of someone else.<br><br>Hearing a voice behind him the ears on his head twitched a bit and he turned around to face the one who had spoken to him. “Oh hello there!” He replied as he&nbsp; saw who was talking to him. He couldn’t quite tell the gender but he didn’t really mind. He was quite happy with meeting new people. He was getting close to done but then again the more people to help the better. “Sure, I could use your help. If you could read the instructions and help me make sure that I get it all in the right hole that would be a big help.” He replied brightly. Not having to frequently stop and stare down at he instructions would be nice as he finished up the shelter. “I’m Bryn by the way. What’s your name?” He questioned in his light and energetic voice.&nbsp; "We should probably hurry up with this shelter too so we can go eat." He replied as he hurried around the shelter to help put it up.

As long as the pokeballs were sealed they wouldn't have to worry about the pokemon inside getting hurt, but if they had sunk to the ocean floor the pokemon would either starve or eventually force their way out of their balls only to find themselves sealed inside the airless crate, not a good way to go either way. <br><br>The young couple both rose a brow as the meddlesome bird girl made her presence known. It was unclear what her relationship with the fairy boy was, but given how distraught he had seemed at the thought of her being lost Bessie guessed they must have at least been good friends, "I take it you're Chardonnay then, your friend here was worryin' up a storm about you" she cooed with a friendly smile, though that smile quickly turned to a sharp blush when the bird girl forewent a heartwarming reunion in favor of calling dibs on herself and Alexa, "heheh, sorry swany, but we're a package deal, not sold separately" the cat girl chuckled as she wrapped a strong arm around Bessie and hugged her girl close to her side, "Besides if you're trying to call dibs I'm afraid Pinky's already got a jump on ya" she added, shooting the boy a playful wink, Bessie giggling a bit and rubbing her thighs together. From just the short interaction Alexa had picked up that Maximus was probably on the receiving end of a lot of teasing and antics from the bird girl, so she figured she'd give him a win over her by implying he was way further in wooing them. <br><br>The young couple were about to suggest they all head back to camp to dry off and have lunch, when suddenly what looked like a personified salad girl came waltzing gracefully up to them, "Hello there darlin', we're all ok here, just a mishap with one of the crates is all" Bessie explained, to humble to boast her daring rescue, "She's just being modest, this cute little thing here just saved this equally cute little thing's life, not to mention a whole buncha pokemon. She's a bona fide hero ya know" Alexa explained, playfully ruffling her wife's messy hair, "and speaking of which, no hero should go without their honorary feast, so why don't we finally get something to eat?" the fiery cat cooed, Bessie giving a curt nod, "sounds good baby, care to join us?" she asked the new arrival, "Oh, I'm Bessie by the way, and this big ol' flatterer is Alexa, we're the Sears" she introduced, extending the introduction to Maximus and Chardonnay as well seeing how they hadn't been properly introduced yet. With that said the young couple made their way back to camp, Alexa leaping up onto the extinguished campfire fire and letting her whole body erupt in a blazing cloak of flame, drying out the firewood and causing the bonfire to spring right back to life, providing an ample source for the homemakers to start cooking. As she stepped out of the fire pit, body still crackling with flame, Bessie took the opportunity to get close to her wifey and use the heat to dry off her damp clothes, "Why don't you come and get dry too hon? you don't want to catch a cold or nothin'" she cooed to Maximus, ushering the boy to come over as Alexa took advantage of being on fire to strike a few cool poses.

Mostly potions, antidotes, stuff to help with a lot of the possible things that could happen. I also know how to make a variety of herbal remedies, so does Evelyn.

As the sun dips Azalea finds it comfiest by the fire and someone inevitably helps to cook the food the forager team brought in. Haruka with help from the others goes through the supplies and comes out with some eating utensils and bowls, along with a few packs of noodles to bulk out the fruit and vegetables. Someone could probably get a pretty good (if little weird) mixed pot going with all this!<br><br>It's too late to set out for the adventure now, but this group is probably a good one to pitch for more volunteers for Cassandra.

Several moments of silence hung about before they spoke again. "I think that one your holding is actually supposed to connect here..." They jutted out a gloved hand in a socket near by.

Never to be forgotten..." Alexa exclaimed, putting way more gravitas on their introductions than was really necessary, prompting a churlish chuckle from Bessie, "don't mind her, she's actually really bad at remembering names, so she acts over the top to make sure she doesn't immediately forget them" she cooed, deflating the muscled girl's sails. It was actually a pretty big problem, given her old career warranted so much traveling and fan interaction, she sometimes got accused of being shallow or not caring about her fans because she had such a hard time remembering their names. It was also why she had a habit of making up nicknames for people, and why they were so basic and easy to remember like "Pinky" or "Swanny" or "Salad Gal" (though Haruka didn't realize that was her nickname yet), "I can't believe it, my own wife exposing all my weaknesses...such a betrayal..." she murmured, earning a playful bop on the nose and a kiss on the cheek from her wife. <br><br>As they made it back to the camp Bessie gave a firm nod to Haruka as she offered to help with cooking, "oh trust me sugar, after that tortuously bland cruise food, we need flavor more than anything else" she cooed, chuckling a bit seeing the girl jump when Alexa lit herself up, "eh don't push yourself too much Pinky, you worked hard this morning, not to mention ya nearly drowned just a few minutes ago, no one's gonna hold a grudge if you take it easy for a bit" Alexa mused as he used her to dry off, "come on, take a load off" she said, casually shaking off her fire cloak and guiding him over by the bonfire to sit, prompting him along with a nice meaty smack on his behind, perhaps as a little "payback" for his earlier altercation with her wife's bum, though it was all in good spirit. Bessie too found a seat to relax for a moment. Normally she'd be happy to jump in with the others and help cook up the food, but she was pretty tired from all the commotion earlier, plus Alexa said this was supposed to be her hero's feast right? <br><br>Speaking of feasts, none would be complete without something to toast right? Or better yet, something to get nice and drunk on! "Well hello there my new best friend! Consider this celebration struck!" Alexa exclaimed, hoping out of her seat and graciously snatching up one of the bottles, cradling it like a precious treasure. She noticed Swany heading off to grab glasses, but honestly who had time for that? Instead Alexa just popped the cork off with one of her claws and took a mighty swig straight from the bottle, "Ahhhh! Now that really hits the spot" she cooed, glancing over at Devlin and shooting him a thumbs up, "Not bad Fluffy, my future drunk self thanks you, and my future hung over self curses yer name!" she bellowed.<br><br>This prompted a shake of Bessie's head as she set her bowl aside and hopped up to Alexa, "hey babe, you probably shouldn't drink from the bottle like that, he brought it out for everyone y'know" she lightly scolded, Alexa chuckling nervously and scratching the back of her head before a mischievous idea came to mind, "you make a good point my dear, and thanks for bringing me a glass" she cooed, and before Bessie could question what she meant Alexa would squeeze her quaking mounds together and pour out a shot of booze into the cowgirl's cleavage, showing absolutely no shame as she dove right in an noisily slurped it up, "ah, you're right babe, way better this way" she cooed, flashing her blushing wife a cheeky grin, "oh you little scamp, com'ere!" Bessie muttered, deciding to fight fire with fire as she snatched the bottle from Alexa's hand and pushed the fire kitty down into her chair. Kneeling down in front of Alexa, Bessie took the bottle and poured a double shot of sweet liqour into her cleavage. However instead of pressing Alexa's breasts together to make a cup, Bessie let the booze wash down through her breasts and trickle down over her glistening, rock hard abs, pressing her tongue against her belly and letting it drip down onto it. With a soft moan Bessie made a sultry show of lapping up the little rivers of alcohol cutting across her wife's body, licking up her abs before rising up to suckle at Alexa's own impressive cleavage, "So, whatya think of that tiger?" Bessie cooed, playfully licking her lips, giving her wife an almost challenging look. <br><br>Alexa responded by immediately yanking the girl up onto her lap and furiously making out with her, all thoughts of food and drink (and all the people surrounding them) rather quickly forgotten.

He had only expected modest tents for everyone, but evidently Bryn and Naamio had worked to lay the workings of much sturdier shelters, something he could truly appreciate. Diluting his silk a bit, he spattered the outsides to stick foliage on it, helping to decorate the structure just a little bit, as well as up the resistance to rainy weather. <br><br>The offerings of apples, berries, and seeds all went to Haruka at his earliest convenience as she and others would know what to do with the food more than he could. All he did was grab a sheet from the boat, along with his bedroll, and brought it to his humble abode, sheet upon the ground first before the bedroll. "This looks suitable enough for now... Initial living is always toughest, isn't it?" he hummed to hinself. Many were likely spoiled by civilization everywhere else, but they would all have to band together to make this work and see how civilization could be started here. <br><br>Looking toward the camp fire, many familiar faces from the voyage could be seen. He was still shocked that a well known television icon had come with them on the trip... Especially bringing her wife! Alexa and Bessie Sears had made it to more than a few news reports, many around the same time Alexa gave up her violent past. It was almost weird seeing the woman in a more domestic setting, but at the same time, endearing and cute... Erotica too, but he was pretty sure he couldn't stare for too long before urges set in he would need to relieve in the forest. Around them, Maximilian looked to be watching the debacle unfold with avid interest, usually guys like that were the ones that got pulled into the action. <br><br>Even from where he stood, the waft of food cooking smelled rather delicious, and part of him couldn't wait to try the food. He glanced up, remembering he had a small passenger resting on his head, his hand coming up to brush the Nincada's back. "Welcome to life among us, Nincada. It's gonna be tough going for a little while, but we're gonna make it work." He spoke with confidence to his passenger. Right about now, Jessica was probably dealing with Celia, so he didn't have much in the way to do for now. Maybe he could see what the other camp residents were up to...

He was starving and eager to eat and meet everybody as well as get to talk to Naamio a bit more now that their work on the shelters were done for the day.

He had a few different kinds and with the right berries, Evelyn could make more. They'd have to go hunting for those later, for now survival was most important. That much was for certain. The eevee man leaned back and watched the people who were around him, and suddenly there was an Incineroar woman right up near him after he mentioned the booze. A bottle was swept up and he watched in confusion as the scenes unfolded around him. The woman pulled the cork and started to drink, and Devlin could only cock a brow while his ears twitched. "Devlin, my name is Devlin Reeves... and the silvery one nearby is my twin sister Evelyn." He said as he tried to focus on waiting for the glasses. Was there something wrong with that woman? She was very... <br><br>Oh oh great... Oh lovely the Icineroar woman was pouring the booze on the Miltank's cleavage. Devlin was a man of taste and that was just a bit out of his interest spectrum. He stopped watching so he could turn his gaze on those that were in the camp, reaching into his pocket to produce one of his precious packs of smokes - he pulled one free and lit it up, holding his own bottle as he leaned back and released a long breath of smoke. Completely ignoring the scene of the two women making out furiously, it was not something that interested him - at least not that way... It was a bit much for his tastes. Instead, he turned his attention to all of the people present currently wondering where he might find a bit of fun for the evening. He didn't like sleeping alone - and spending all those nights with Evelyn was getting a bit frustrating. <br><br>He was going to wait for Chardonnay to get back, and see if the feathery woman would mind sharing his bottle with him - and then he'd figure out what he was doing. He hardly noticed that his sister seemed to be rather withdrawn for the time being, in fact he barely noticed that she wasn't speaking. The toasts were given, at least partially - and he found himself chuckling. "Indeed! To a bright future, and hopefully... a nice bit of adventure." He mused as he took a sip from his personal bottle and waited. He noticed the sylveon male and clicked his tongue for a moment. "Oi, you... what's your name? I'm Devlin Reeves... You look like a Sylveon, if I'm not wrong? " He said to the pink male, wanting to attract the males attention to see if he might get some information from another of his kind.

She had to think about a lot of things, most of all she had to think about her future. Here, in this place, she was free to love and be loved. She could explore, learn, grow. She could make a family that she decided, she could make her future whatever she decided! She didn't have to be pushed towards one pathway or another, she could remain limitless in her possibilities. SHe mused on these things as everyone seemed to be going about doing their own thing. The two women were making out - that was strange for the Eevee she never thought women could really enjoy each other quite like that - and then there was a Sylveon there as well. Devlin was speaking, but Evelyn took this as a moment to sink back into the shadows a little bit. <br><br>She was having an introspective moment, thinking about the future - her place here in this new land. She was thinking about all that had happened up till this point. She was thinking about the people around her, and the things they could do. She was... she was thinking about the things in life she'd never had a chance to do. She noticed a male with an adorable pokemon on his head and her attention was instantly riveted. She gravitated over, her mind on autopilot as she remembered part of the reason she had left was to have freedom of her own choices. <br><br>For now, she'd get to know people - and she decided the Spider man was first. She approached, waving up at him happily as she offered the bottle up towards him. " Here, everyone is having some fun - you should join us. I'm Evelyn, I was a bit too busy reading to get to know people on the ship. That's a cute pokemon you have there." She said as she gave him a bright grin. The silvery eevee woman was obviously out for something, but one could only wonder what.

				<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/VDkRvCf.jpg?1)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Evelyn Reeves<br><strong>Time:</strong> Evening<br><strong>Location:</strong> Swell Landing, Campsite<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Gene, Celia, Jessica - Open<br><strong>Info:</strong> Is Evelyn Speech<br><hr><br>Evelyn was about to start trying to flirt with the male that was before her, as rusty and disused as her flirtation skills were. She was about to speak then the farfetch'd female approached and Evelyn's attention was on the Abra girl in the other females arms. "It's ok, it's a good interruption. As in a perfectly reasonable reason to interrupt." Evelyn said as she shifted and passed the bottle of booze off to Devlin. The petite but compactly built eevee female pulled off her long jacket with its long sleeves. There was even a ruff of silvery fur, which was a play on the fact that the female was - uniquely colored for an Eevee. "Here use this for her, for the time being." She said as she carefully draped the jacket over the other female. Leaving the Eevee woman in just her cropped breast band like top - her shorts -and her boots. <br><br>"One sec, I got something." She said as she rushed over towards her brother. Her large backpack had been left near her brother, and she noticed he was talking to a Sylveon. Her tail swished behind her as she bent over in front of both of those males to snatch up her backpack - before darting back off towards where Gene - Jessica - and Celia all were. She came back over and dropped the back, bending over at the waist as she started to dig through it - her back to all of that little group as she hummed and seemed to flick her tail in annoyance or concentration. "Has to be... around here... AH!" She all but chirped as she straightened and pulled out a spare t-shirt and a pair of drawstring shorts. "I always carry changes of clothes for myself, and my twin, whenever we are doing any sort of adventure - this way if something happens I have it as back up. Here, you can use Devlin's clothes... that's my twin." She chirped as she held out the items towards Jessica and Celia. <br><br>Her attention was diverted back towards Gene now as she threw her hands up. " Actually, I just kinda want to be me for a while... I like being an Eevee, plus I'm not even sure what will happen if I evolve - given my coloration... can I even evolve? Who knows! I will just enjoy life as it comes." She said as she snatched up the bottle again, her whirlwind of activity finished as she took a few gulps from the bottle and smiled up at the man. "So what do <em>you</em> do?" She asked that very open-ended question, leaving it open to debate as to what she meant.

Naami said, nodding their head. It was impressive how much Bryn was open to them; his friendliness was something Naami wasn't used to. They looked over at the shelters they had put up in a relatively short time, hopefully the travelers would be much relieved to see them. Bryn's tummy rumble made Naami face him again, an invisible smile on their masked face. A nod of agreement followed the Lycanrok's mention of hunger; it had been several hours since they'd both eaten. Still, there was a certain amount of trepidation at the idea of being in the middle of the camp and surrounded by people.<br><br>"With...everybody?" Naami repeated quietly. But Bryn's good-hearted nature was hard to resist. Naami took his outstretched hand and followed along.

It’s the best way to get to know our fellow travelers after all!” He explained as he squeezed Naamio’s hand and pulled him along with him to where all of the others were eating. They had finished all the work they would get done that night anyway so a break would be good. Plus he was really hungry. Wagging his tail eagerly he ran off towards dinner, pulling&nbsp; Naamio along with him. He hoped he wasn’t too late to grab some food.<br><br>It seemed like they were the last or at least near the last to arrive and he hurried around to pick up some food. “Sorry we’re late! Had a bunch of shelters to build!” He shouted with a wave at the people eating around the campfire. After getting a plate of food he plopped down next to the Jigglypuff girl so he could introduce himself, bringing Naamio along with him if they wanted to come with him. “Hi there. I didn’t&nbsp; get to see you on the boat. I’m Bryn. It’s nice to meet you.&nbsp; Looking for Naamio he pointed them as well. “And that’s Naamio. They were really helpful and nice too. But they’re the only people I’ve met so far.” He explained brightly as he began to dig into his food, slowly moving his head back and forth with happy contentment as he ate.

She stopped and considered for a moment. "Well... <em>almost</em> a star." It was good to know that there was at least a bit of humility hiding within that ego. "So..." she asked, "want some iced tea?" She held up the pitcher for both of them to partake. "And then tell me why you came here. It is really such an adventure, isn't it?" Her big blue eyes practically glowed by the firelight.

She preferred not to stay too close to the fire, however, but a step further compared to the others that were gathered in the evening. She could not help but chuckle at the exchange between the Sears couple, modestly covering her lips with a foldable fan. The rest of the members were also present, and it looked like Gene even found a new companion to aid him in the explorations.<br><br>She then raised an arm to wave when Bryn and Naamio were in sight, welcomed by Azalea to join the campfire. Both were reliable individuals, even if they seem unusual at first. Haruka felt there was no need for caution amidst these companions at the least - and have grown to rely on their help to do things she couldn't do.

He pushed out his bottle towards the other male, taking a long drag from his smoke and exhaling up into the air as he watched him. "Dude, my parents had way way too many kids. They stopped after me and Evelyn though." He said as he motioned towards his twin. <br><br>He then turned his attention fully on Max, while also watching the others around them. He nodded his head a bit and then extended his hand towards Max again. " If you ever wanna learn some medical, let me know ok? I'm always looking for some helping hands, and having someone help with fixing people - I mean Honeydew is <em>nice</em> - but could always use more healing hands, right?" Devlin said as he extended his hand to the Sylveon male and grinned from ear to ear. <br><br>"I'll enjoy getting to know you, don't stress being open with me if you don't want to. I'm here for a new future, that means new friends too. Wanna be my friend?"

Don't stress it." Devlin said as he took a long drag from his smoke and then let it exhale away from both of them. It appeared he was completely capable of ignoring the two women making out, which made it pretty obvious he had a 'type'. For now he was waiting for one of those cute girls to come back, like that feathery dame. <br><br>He shook the hand of the male and then nodded. "Good to have another eevee type here, other than me and Evelyn." He added as he took a long drink from the bottle and then looked around the campsite. There was a lot going on, but he was finding it to be strangely relaxing. "Also depends on your definition of hammering and slapping together. I'm sure you'll find a new future here. If you decide to chase some tail, just be careful of my sister. She's been restricted from that, so she's overeager and likely to suck a man dry."

But I'm a bit particular, I'm not too keen on taken women, even if they invite, plus I'm not into women that could literally bury me with their bodies." The man said as he took a long drink from his bottle, putting out his smoke and going for another. " It's not a bad idea to focus on you, you can learn and grow that way." He advised as he lit up his new smoke and took in a long dragging inhale. He slowly exhaled while keeping his eyes on the party. <br><br>He was really hoping one of the lovely ladies he had been flirting with would return. "Well You're swimming in a sea of available females, I'm picking and choosing through a few of them. Remember ones my sister, and two are capable of crushing me, not really into that sort of thing. Now that Nurse... she might be fun. I could definitely enjoy playing some 'Doctor' with her if she was obliging." He mused with a twinkle in his brown eyes. <br><br>"I'm not one for drowning, but you seem like you've barely even started to learn how to 'swim'." Devlin added with ya bit of a calculated look, a small smile at the corner of his eyes. "Don't stress that much, we were all like it at one point or another."
