MORE ROLLS THAN A BAKERY YO

SCHEDULED END: ... February?

EXPLORERS TO BE

Regardless of how or why you've found yourself on this remote island, you'd have likely gotten the message. An encampment made just outside the cavern entrance, tents and temporary cabins scattered about a site with a central campfire and some equipment for hauling finds. The equipment itself is operated by a couple assumed employees of the collectors who'd called for your help, while off in the distance closer to the cave mouth you'll all be delving, a rather colourfully dressed young girl with long, pink hair had seemed to be preparing something with the help of her Perrserker.[break][break]

It's fairly early in the morning, and before you know it, one of the employees—a blonde man with a green beanie and a matching singlet, adorned in leaves, assumedly after a quick trek through the forest, you've come to know this man as Bazza—shows up far too close for your personal space! It's impressive that he's wearing so little considering the Winter chill, but nonetheless the man greets you with a boisterous "AYYYYYYYYY, WHAT'S UP, BROS. SO, BEFORE Y'ALL GET GOING, MAKE SURE TO HAVE A HEARTY OL' BREKKIE, MATE. MAKE SURE YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING YOU NEED, GET KITTED OUT IN A HARNESS, FLASHLIGHT, HEAD LAMP, FIRST AID KITS, GRAB A DIGGING KIT FROM MY GOOD MATES STEVEY AND MAMA JOEY HERE," he shouts with a big grin on his face, to his side a Feraligatr and Kangaskhan that seems a little overwhelmed, the two practically buried and surrounded by the aforementioned supplies—the digging kits in particular seem to be a small pack filled with practically anything and everything you might need for the occasion... bar explosives and including snacks and plenty of water—as you go to grab your needed supplies Bazza gives you one last hearty announcement;[break][break]

"DON'T FORGET AS WELL, NO OPEN-TOED SHOES, AND FOLLOW MISS CROSS' DIRECTIONS, OTHERWISE YOU VOID THE SAFETY PROTOCOLS! WHEN YOU'RE READY GO MEET MISS CROSS OVER AT THE ENTRANCE OVER THERE!" before waving you all goodbye and going back into one of the cabins where the other three employees were staying in, assumedly to talk things over and make sure everything's in order.[break][break]

Eventually, after your morning rituals, you slowly break off from the main campsite, and as you make your way as directed you find Cat, a young girl still in her teens—the granddaughter of the stone collectors who'd been looking for explorers—one who as you've come to know over the night(s) or from prior meetings seems to be completely in her comfort zone out exploring the wilderness. The young pink-haired girl gives you an enthusiastic wave and smile, whilst helping her far lazier Perrserker wave out to you as well! Similarly to the rest of you, she's wearing one of the safety harnesses, connected by a carabiner to one of four sets of ropes locked into the earth with an equal number of deeply hammered pitons. Eventually when it seems everyone arrives, she gives an announcement with a cheery smile.[break][break]

"Hi everyone! Thanks for coming! Just to make sure, my name's Cat and this here's Björn, and while I'm probably younger than a lot of you, I'll be your instructor while we're here so please make sure to stay close by and ask for help when you need it, cave diving's dangerous and we need to be careful, accidents can happen easily!" she'd said, somewhat rigidly, it may have been easy to tell that this was something she'd practiced and recited a lot, a hint of understandable nervousness leaking out, she was a 17 year old addressing mostly adults, after all.[break][break]

"Now, it's not too far down from the cave mouth, but please make sure you're locked to the rope with a carabiner on your harness before attempting to descend, there's a lot of us so trying to go down with a Flying Pokémon's only going to cause trouble! When you lock yourselves in please double check the person next to you or ask Björn to do so for you, I'll be down at the bottom to make sure nothing happens! Also don't worry too much about falling, it's designed to lock if you start going too fast so take your time!"[break][break]

With that she gives a quick nod to her Perrserker, before stepping back off the edge, carefully placing her feet as she slowly rappelled down. The drop down had been a rough 10m (32ft), though eventually the expedition team makes their way down with relative ease, bar a minor mishap or two. The Instructor Perrserker eventually being the last to go as it simply freely slid down the rope without fear.[break][break]

The moment you find your way down within the cave, you immediately realise that the cave is far larger inside than the crack in the earth entrance that was above, plenty spacious for an odd 30 or so people and their pokémon to be mingling about, for now at least. Furthermore as you look around, you see countless sparkles and glimmers, even just here, there's a beautiful bounty to partake in, and as if to prove a point, the pink-haired young instructor picks up a handful of small peculiar spheres.[break][break]

"Alright so! There's a couple ground rules we'll need! Please make sure to stay within view, I've come here with Mister Angelo before, and it's a VERY big place, it's very very VERY easy to get lost if you lose the group!"[break][break]

"Thankfully most of the cave complex is pretty spacious from the quick scouting we first did, so it won't be hard to do so but, we'll be travelling to different parts of the cave and be making quick breaks in between! There'll be ample time to have food, have a drink, and gather whatever peaks your interest, and then we'll do a head count to make sure we didn't lose anyone!"[break][break]

The enthusiastic young instructor explains before raising her hand up high with the stones in question, "it won't be hard to find stuff, as you can see! But feel free to make use of any of the supplies you were given! Just be careful not to hurt yourself or each other, be wary of wild pokémon, and if you have any issues or questions, come to me and Björn!" she says with another chipper smile![break][break]

"Have fun!"

He’s not particularly pleased to be up so early. Mainly for the fact that he’d barely caught any sleep the night prior. Paxton is practically a zombie, barely able to brush his teeth and shave before tying up his hair and skulking out of his sleeping quarters to have some good ole brekkie. Whatever that may entail. He’d been nursing a cup of coffee when Bazza had come up right along and began yelling instructions. Paxton stayed quiet, only wiping off a bit of spittle he felt on his face before nodding slowly, too tired to snap back anything of use. He murmured a soft ‘thank you’ after he chugged the rest of his coffee and got up to greet the Kangaskan and Feraligatr. With care, he offloaded some of the weight from the pokemon before moving to the side and attempting to repack his gear for the expedition. [break][break]

Once he was kitted up, and fairly certain he didn’t want more coffee or hash browns, he made his way towards their instructor a little more awake now. She’s easier to listen to, not as loud or jarring as Bazza and after a bit they get settled and begin their rappel down into the cave mouth. He would admit, he did have a little double take when it came to his turn, uneasy about diving into the hole. He’d made it down though, but not without a little bit of the nervous shakes afflicting him. [break][break]

When his feet hit the ground, he’s quick to let out a small sigh. That would probably be his biggest hurdle. Everything else he could handle. Not that he knew what was coming or what was next. He’d never really been on an excavation before. Maybe some practice ones his university had organized but never…something like this. It was kind of nice. A taste of what could’ve been. When @cat lets them loose, Paxton nodded and let out Joules. “Hey bud, help me find a prism sphere or two.” He said with a small grin. The Magnezone stared at his before their eyes zipped around the cave complex before all eyes trained back on their trainer. Joules let out an understanding beep before getting close to the ground and beginning to lead the blonde forward. “Thanks~” [break][break]

Matilda took a moment after waking up to orient herself. Opening her eyes she processed the tent walls in the early morning rays of sun, Cass sleeping curled up near her stomach just inside her sleeping bag, and...someone next to her?![break][break]

She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and took another look. Ah, right, just Dominic Grey. After a good stretch, she crawls out of her sleeping bag and gets dressed, being sure to wear clothes comfortable enough to go cave diving in; some tight black jeans and a long-sleeve shirt that's a couple sizes too big. The straps of her sports bra are visible as the shirt *almost* goes off her shoulders, but it's warm and it's comfortable. She grabs a protein bar and an energy drink from her bag, unzipping and stepping out of the tent with Cass as quietly as she can.[break][break]

People were just beginning to stir. A few yawning folks wandered about here and there, but for the most part it seemed the rest of the people around the campsite were sleeping as peacefully as they could. Being the morning person she was, she enjoyed walking around, quietly observing and gauging who all it was she'd be spelunking with. Cass followed, but at a distance - she was busy running up to people and sniffing them, engaging briefly with other Pokemon, and then running back over to Mattie to 'check in' before running off to greet someone new.[break][break]

Paying more attention to the people around her than where she was going, Matilda stops herself just in time to avoid crashing into Bazza. He gives her his spiel, and she bites into her protein bar to hold it in her mouth as she shakes his hand. He's already gone by the time she's removed the bar to introduce herself, so instead she turns to the Feraligatr and Kangaskhan to help relieve them of a few supplies.[break][break]

After she's got all her gear as ready and organized as it's going to be she finishes her food and moves on to her drink, being sure to throw away her garbage in the appropriate containers. Living with a bunch of Rangers for the majority of her life really hammered home the 'Don't Litter' rhetoric. She catches sight very briefly of Martín del Mar and her eyes light up in amusement as she calls out to him, "Hey Mars - deep-dive buddies?" She points between herself and him with a wink, but leaves him alone to finish his morning routine as she heads to the pink-haired girl near the cave opening.[break][break]

As they prepare to descend, Matilda triple-checks her harness and anchors. Cass even does a quick check, tugging at ropes and nodding in approval. The Pokemon wraps herself around her Trainer's neck like the scarf of fur she wears herself. Matilda lowers the two of them into the crack in the earth, and though there's a moment of hesitation and adrenaline, the glimmers they find themselves immersed in seem to calm any anxieties the two may have had. As entrancing as they were however, Matilda was very sure to focus on everything Cat told them. Cave diving was not her area of expertise, and she'd be damned if she was gonna let Dom annoy her endlessly over missing a step.[break][break]

Once they're on the ground, Matilda unclips herself from her line so she can explore the cave a bit. Cass runs around searching for anything that seems remotely interesting or useful, scrabbling briefly at a spot she wants Matilda to dig at before moving on to the next hotspot of her search. The woman follows her Pokemon's suggestions to a T, double-checking with the small scarved chinchilla when necessary before digging. When not focusing on her treasure hunt, she keeps her eyes peeled for both Mars and Dom for simultaneously similar and yet very, very different reasons.[break][break]

TL;DR:[break]
- Eats breakfast ('good' is questionable, but it's food ^.^)[break]
- Acquires all necessary equipment from Stevey and Mama Joey [break]
- Looks around for Martín del Mar because her ability to annoy knows no bounds[break]
- Listens very carefully to Cat as she spelunks in search of crystalline treasures with Cass!

The sound of the tent unzipping finally stirred him. Dom grumbled and shifted, squinting through the soft orange glow afforded by the sun striking the tent walls. He just caught sight of Matilda Greenlaw leaving. A moment passed before he remembered whey they were here. Excitment rushed him and he was up in a second, tugging on reinforced hiking pants and a snug shirt.[break][break]

Exiting the tent, he spotted Tilly downing her so-called breakfast. Dom frowned. It could hardly be considered a breakfast and he was very sure he was going to have to shove some snacks into her face in a few hours. He lit up his camp stove, heated some water, and added it to a fancy dehydrated breakfast pouch. In a few minutes of soaking, he had what more or less passed for a breakfast scramble. This was why he was a professional.[break][break]

It was Bazza who interrupted his breakfast with an excited spout of information. Dom just nodded along, wide-eyed, mouth half-full of rehydrated egg. The man sped off without another word and Dom was left staring at Stevey and Mama Joey. He took the necessary supplies from them and mumbled a thank you through his mouthful.[break][break]

Breakfast done, Dom began to suit up as he listened to @cat's explanation. It all seemed in good order, and he had to hand it to her for putting together such a well-equipped outfit. He'd never been on an excavation quite like this, but he'd done his share of spelunking—and had his share of ill-prepared guides.[break][break]

That experience proved itself when it was his turn to rappell down into the abyss. He inspected Tilly's setup as she went, staring with a critical eye (and oh-so prepared to tease her if she used the wrong knots). Her rappelling was decent though, and he gave an approving nod. Minutes later, it was his turn. He double-checked his equipment before leaning out over the lip of the opening.[break][break]

The cave system itself was beaufitul. He couldn't help but look around, even as Cat gave them instruction about their duties here. Safely on the ground, he let out Magnolia in a flash of red light. He gave the little Mudbray a quick pat between the ears.[break][break]

"Alright, Mags, give me a hand." The little donkey brayed happily and pawed at the earth with her hooves. It was like a game![break][break]

Thomas Benoit

Excavator's Expedition!

POSTED ON Jan 1, 2022 13:36:59 GMT

With a grunt, Thomas found himself waking up from his sleep with a splitting headache. Aside from his boots, and jacket, Thomas was already dressed in a pair of jeans, a long-sleeved shirt, and socks. The fallen noble slowly got out of his sleeping bag, slipped on his boots, and emerged from the tent, the man instinctively shielding his eyes from the sun beaming down upon the campsite. Before he could hide back into his tent, he spotted Bazza, who obviously saw him among the campers.

'Ah fuck.', Thomas thought to himself in dread before hearing the loud, energetic man speak. The man was more akin to a walking headache to the Kalosian than anything. But the now black-haired man merely listened to the man, nodding along as needed. Thomas would quietly take a kit from the Kangaskhan and Feraligatr duo, relieving them of a little bit of their burden. The man had brought his own supplies, but some backup supplies never hurt.

With the loud man gone, Thomas proceeded to prepare himself for the day, including a quick and dirty breakfast to get himself going as quickly as he could. Coffee, and a protein bar were what he downed. Thomas laced up his boots properly, and slipped on his jacket quietly. The man would inspect his bag of goods, making sure that he didn't forget anything, before leaving his tent, heading straight for the girl.

Once again, Thomas defaulted to listening to the pink-haired woman in silence. Thankfully, she was far less of a headache to listen to than the man who came to them earlier. Once all the rules were laid out, it was time to descend into the caves below. It was clear the black-haired man had experience with rappelling, as he handled it like a champ. There was nothing flashy about his descent, but his technique and speed were on point.

Once he made it down, Thomas quickly unhooked himself from the line. Thomas wasted no time in bringing out Ripper. The large Scizor looked around in awe at the cave he found himself in. The Scizor would help his master search the area. His steely pincers would be useful in striking hardened areas. Though much to his chagrin, Thomas instructed him to hold back, resorting to 'taps' rather than full-on strikes.

not that it was super surprising, but francie was the first one up that morning in her little cabin/tent arrangement with FERNANDO SILPH. she even made them breakfast and some coffees before they had to go out and about with everybody else that day and brave the world. nothing better to start the day than good food and coffee, after all!

she saw many a faces while getting her gear, some she recognized and others she thought maybe she did but couldn't place. she kept to herself mostly, hair tucked away into her hat covered in the proper gear and loving every second of it. honestly, if nobody recognized her, she wouldn't be surprised.

finally they were within the cave and francie was all too excited to get freakin' started! she pulled out some gear, released louie to keep an eye out, and looked toward fernando with a beaming grin.

"let's get ta diggin'!"

POSTED ON Jan 1, 2022 23:45:45 GMT

Would his parents have ever let him do this kind of thing when he still lived at home? Probably not, which was all the more reason why Hideo went on this expedition. And the accommodations were better than the tent he had in his camp; it even had a Lycanroc that slept by him through the night!

Granted, said Lycanroc was his own - his choice for an expedition. And said Lycanroc nudged the boy awake as he heard the host go from cabin to cabin, saving Hideo an abrupt awakening. Breakfast itself was fairly unremarkable - eggs and bacon and oj - but he was able to spend it with some people he knew well.

When it was time for the actual excavation, Hideo had to take a moment to find out what he had, by feeling out each individual item. Not the easiest way, but it was the best he had available. Equipment accounted for, Hideo made his way down - after someone helped him set up his safety harness.

Once his feet touched rock (and someone helped him take the harness off), Hideo was ready to go to work. “The good stuff’s usually in the walls,” Hideo said, his Lycanroc gently guiding him towards one of the walls.

And while Hideo did have a pickaxe to use for this kind of stuff, his Lycanroc nudged him before he could get it out. “Alright, you can do it,” Hideo said, the Lycanroc nodding and going to work with his Tough Claws.

Bryan's greed was his main motivation for joining this little adventure. He ate a healthy breakfast of protein pancakes and his coffee as that was a non negotiable for starting his day. He had decided to camp out the night before alone, it felt a bit nostalgic thanks to how he used to be a wandering bum before he truly committed to rocket. He woke up and put in his eye contacts to keep both of his eyes red as his eyes were still mismatched. He packed his bag with the appropriate tools and headed down after this young girl who seemed really experienced in this stuff. [break][break]

Once he was inside the cave he let out a loud whistle and saw how massive the inside of this cave. He released his Absol with super luck, as they begun to get to work. Abby held the tools in her mouth as bryan tried to start already chipping away at the wall, his muscle certainly would make it easy to just pound away at the wall, but a careful touch was required here.

Mornings were never a problem for Georgette - mornings were for feeding the farm pokemon and fighting with the frozen troughs before getting warmed water in them. By comparison, this particular morning was a breeze - waking up inside her small pup tent with her beloved Wooloo reminded her of a few nights spent out in the fields with her family's flock when they moved them to the upper pastures nearer the mountains. Memories aside, it was time to get up!
[break][break]
With a stretch and a yawn, Georgette was soon at her makeshift campfire to cook breakfast, her pokemon allowed to wander about the area to explore and burn off a bit of morning energy. Poking absently at the rice and eggs cooking atop the fire, the white-haired woman smiled as her Alola Vulpix launched himself at her Swablu, while her Froslass referred from the side, the scuffle continuing well past when the meal was finally finished. With a touch of exasperation, Georgette laughed when the pair suddenly seemed to notice their food bowls were filled and the mock-fight immediately stopped - the Froslass long having abandoned the pair for her own breakfast.
[break][break]
"I am going to have to take you for morning runs and flys," she murmurs to herself with fondness, her head shaking before returning to her meal. At her side an aged if quite jovial Wooloo tended to his own breakfast, the soft chiming of the bells woven into his forelocks tinkling merrily in tandem with the occasional crack of ice in the forest beyond. Out of nowhere a blonde man seems to appear in the campsite, his demeanor far too cheerful and boisterous for most. Blinking once as he seems to barely take a breath in his speech, Georgette nods politely and stands to retrieve supplies for their impending spelunking, a quiet "Thank you" offered to each of Bazza's flustered pokemon.
[break][break]
"We are going to have a busy day, Herschel," she informs her companion. Bending down she carefully situates a headlamp over her Wooloo's forehead, a soft laugh spilling from her lips at the sight of him. "Come on, everyone," she then calls, collecting her remaining pokemon back into their pokeballs. Double checking her camp site, ensuring everything has been packed up and placed away, Georgette makes her way to the cave mouth, her eyes wide with wonder as other people are revealed the closer she gets.
[break][break]
She listens carefully to Cat's speech, her head nodding in understanding, and then looks down at her supplies. Taking a length of rope, she attaches a bit around her Wooloo to form a harness around him and clips it to her belt, a carabiner produced and hooked up to the appropriate rappelling gear. Georgette does not move immediately, instead observing several other people who seem to know well-enough what they're doing. Eventually, she takes a deep breath after triple checking her gear and lowers herself and her Wooloo into the cave, each inch of descent carefully controlled.
[break][break]
Georgette exhales a lungful of air in relief when her feet finally touch the ground again. Leaning over, she switches on her Wooloo's headlamp, and confides to the pokemon, "Let's see if we can make a new friend and explore this together." The team then begin to wander nearby, and with an air of curiosity, find a suitable looking patch to begin digging in.

(T) SAINT-14 ☿ | IRON FIST - z-crystal option

Spending his morning in a tent to keep himself from the humid air of the water routes, Derek is quick to fall in line when they're prompted to gather supplies and head out. He'd gone without a grand breakfast, stomaching only a mug of oatmeal and a box of juice. No big deal, he'd packed some granola and meat sticks to snack on if he got hungry.

The gear provided by Mama Joey and Stevey is appreciated, as Derek was all too familiar with rappelling down treacherous terrains. Sliding down quickly, he disconnects and huddles around, observing quietly as Cat showed some of what they were looking for.

Setting off in his own direction, Derek releases Saint to help him after finding a decent cluster of mineral nodes.

it might’ve seemed that bo was cooking for a family of four, but this was not so.

armed with a skillet and a carton of eggs, he approached the communal fire and began cooking all of them, scrambled, with a slightly burnt smell that wafted not so pleasantly around. it didn't seem to deter him in the least. dousing it with hot sauce, he declared, ”mm. perfect,” and scarfed it down.

deciding he didn’t want to feed his bird eggs, he instead suggested, ”want a sammich, bubby?” fearow looked at him expectantly, and bo went to fetch one of the six he had left.

soon, it was time to go. he thanked mama joey and stevey for the gear, and went along with the crowd. the instruction was thorough, but bo felt confident in his abilities, having scaled down his share of cliffs on ranger duty.

at the bottom, his eyes sparkled. ”damn,” he commented. at first, he was merely observant. he was more interested in discovery and pretty minerals than monetary bounty, but eventually, he too was breaking into stone out of curiosity. what else was here?

Pinching the remnants of crisp bacon between thumb and forefinger from off his plate, Angelo tosses the scraps behind him without a cautionary doubletake. Success announced by the sound of an Aerodactyl’s jaws snapping shut with the ferocity of a beartrap.[break][break]

“Don’t think I’ve ever seen you eat so slow,” he mumbles around his thumb, savouring the last remnants of breakfast on the pad. Cerulean eyes peer up at the woman seated across the campfire, lips curling with provocation. “All this competition hasn't made you lose your appetite, has it?” [break][break]

The perimeter of his and skyler dross ’s tent has been tainted since dawn with the scent of smoked fat and electric tension, near as heady. [break][break]

After being hired by the Cross family into helping locate and scout this island with their granddaughter, the caves they’d found had been stuck in Angelo’s mind. Despite the discomfort of cramped walls and looming stalactites, the temptation of treasure slumbering beneath layers of rock had won.
[break][break]
But he hadn’t been the only one drawn by the island’s bounty. [break][break]

Once the campfire is stamped out it’s time for the large group of eager explorers to descend into the depths of the earth, Angelo thanking Mama Joey and Stevey as he equips the distributed gear. [break][break]

Not like he uses them, instead hitching a ride on Luna’s back as they trade open skies for stuffy cavern air. [break][break]

Boots hit the ground and although he could, technically, run off down the tunnels ahead of his wife-sometimes-rival, Angelo instead waits. There’s more satisfaction to be found in stoking the flames of competition, yet… [break][break]

He takes the time to shoot @cat a good luck smile before Skyler arrives, Luna already scooping up a stone in her mouth with a happy wave of her barbed tail.

angelo vestri and Hideo Kino like this

Soft snores turn into long yawns, heralding the return to consciousness within their small shared tent. Skyler blinks against the filtered morning light, burrowing greedily into the warmth of tan skin. Her sleep roughened voice rasps against the back of angelo vestri 's neck, hushed as the camp awakens around them.

"Mornin', Angel..."

Fighting the urge to linger just a moment longer in their cocoon, Skyler rises to ready herself for the day ahead. It's not long before the smell of cooking fat waffles into the tent, reminding her stomach that Angelo was due to make breakfast. Shit, she wants that bacon so badly. Her eyes are deceptively wide and innocent and fooling absolutely no one - especially when her lips curl ever so slightly in mischief - when she turns them to Angelo. "Breakfast, baby?"

Bacon's washed down with instant coffee, and silver peers over the rounded edge of a plastic mug at Angelo. She sucks grease off of her fingers, competitiveness stirring an eager warmth in her chest. "Can't a girl enjoy her bacon in peace? There'll be plenty of opportunities to get your ass kicked today, Angel." Her grin widens, arrogant. "Don't worry about it."

Doning the caving equipment generously provided by Stevey and Mama Joey, Skyler makes her way to the mouth of the cave along with other explorers. Shadows grow long as they venture deeper into the depths, but Polaris' steady light ensures somewhat of a safer passage.

The glint of colorful stones draws her eyes, and by the time she meets with Angelo she's collected a few for herself. She's unsure about their value, but they're certainly not normal rocks...

"Ever seen these before?"

FERNANDO SILPH, skyler dross, and 3 more like this

waking up early was a bane of kyle's existence. he never gets used to it despite being forced to do it multiple times in his life already. begrudgingly, he goes with the flow and follows everyone else as they move from one place to another as instructed.

he manages to ignore waking up way before his desired time (around noon), too much energy in the morning from the man, and the secondhand awkwardness from @cat's entire speech through the power of caffeine. he can't say he paid much attention with how groggy he gets with interrupted sleep, however.

rappelling down was an easy enough task for someone who'd been in his field that the basics had already been ingrained in him. mechanics of the event was not much of the problem as it is with eventual social interactions he'd most likely have.

looking around, he spots multiple faces he recognized. bundles of energy such as Tempest Quinn and the dastardly duo angelo vestri and skyler dross were to be left alone, as well as annoying ones like MATIAS SILPH and FERNANDO SILPH. he pulls the hoodie of his shirt up so these people have less chances of noticing him.

as he gives his smeargle a pickaxe to figure out with, which he can hopefully learn before long since he is a technician of sorts, kyle moves away from the main crowd before reestablishing himself as part of the scenery.

approaching a stranger, who was either talking to herself or her pokemon, so he doesn't stand out more was a good first step. "i'm pretending to know you so i won't get bothered, if that's fine," he asks Georgette Bluebottle. it was easier to approach people if they're alone, after all.

in the background, his smeargle tries his best and works on his pickaxe skills.

[attr="class","inner-finally"]It won't hurt as bad if you keep yourself distracted.[break]
When the morning sun shines down on her face and rouses her from her sleep, she finds herself gently slapped by the pattering of wings. Chirping endlessly, Keebo is a spritely morning soul, readily leaping out of the tent and fluttering towards the gathering crowd. This leaves her to her own thoughts, ones that continue to plague her as she gets ready for the day - Washing up, getting her gear on and making sure to tie her hair up before it gets in her way.
[break][break]
When she finally emerges to join the group, Eris is greeted by the sight of her Togekiss happily snacking on a sweet bun and offering an additional one to her. Though her stomach doesn't quite agree with the thought, she still reaches to tear a piece from it, handing the rest back to the joyful glutton.
[break][break]
"We'll get left behind." She murmurs, patting the Togekiss when he turns to show her how quickly he can inhale the bread. "It's gonna be a long day ahead of us..." And hopefully one filled with fun. She can only pray as she grabs her equipment with a small word of thanks offered to Stevey and momma Joey.
[break][break]
When she looks around, she spies many familiar faces but decides against approaching any of them. After all, she's gone spelunking by herself many times before, why should today be any different? Having to deal with too many people on a low-energy day would probably wear her out too.
[break][break]
Snapping her carabiner to the line, she lets Keebo quickly fuss over every little clip and strap before beginning her descent. All it takes is a small fall of faith to start rappeling down, the rope growing taut as she rests her weight on it. With a little guidance and encouragement from her partner, Eris makes her descent with relative ease, her flashlight almost immediately lit as soon as she detaches herself from the line.

"It's pretty."
[break][break]
Much prettier than shelves of cursed books, ripped pages and terrifying, sharp-toothed monsters, that's for sure. Wandering a little deeper into the cavern, Eris can't help but crouch down to examine a strange luminescence partially covered by the ground. Keebo follows close by, hovering a little to nudge at a shiny stone wedged into the wall.
