[nospaces] [attr="class","omgen"] [attr="class","omgentop"]EXCAVATOR'S EXPEDITION  [attr="class","omgenmid"] MORE ROLLS THAN A BAKERY YO SCHEDULED END: ... February? I SWEAR THIS WAS MEANT TO BE FUN, NOT TRAUMATIC
Whilst young Cat had continued puzzling over the emergency satellite phone, it had seemed that many of the expedition had—through either previous knowledge or a stroke of coincidence—almost immediately figured out what to do in this strange pocket of space-time between reality and dreams. Though the young instructor had stopped focusing on the conundrum with her phone, after having her attention pulled to the more chaotic side of the expedition by Martín del Mar 's and boruta maher 's calls.[break][break]
"Oh woops, right!" she'd said, seeming to have blanked on just how horrifying the situation might seem. Though as she took a quick gander at the expedition, despite a handful of incidents with arguments and otherwise what seems to be traumatic episodes, Cat—and much of the expedition, particularly those who'd experienced the Interdream Zone beforehand—had noticed that some of the strange Unown that had at first been observing had seemed pulled towards a good handful of individuals... some more mysteriously by some greater attraction, others in a more literal sense as Martín del Mar and kyle lopez attempt to bring the Unown towards them themselves.[break][break]
Ultimately... though it seems these Unown are somewhat more interested in getting you all out of here—whether benevolence or simply that you do not belong here, it seems they're intent on something as they seem to resonate with a good number of the expedition... in particular luka chêne , whom a number of Unown seemed drawn towards, and most especially Adrian Malcolm , whom a near grandiose swarm of them had been drawn towards.[break][break]
To each individual whom the Unown RESONATED with, whether it be something they had said or some mysterious presence made by their actions or their thoughts, they'd notice that the Unown that approach form particular words to do with these things. In particular, luka chêne sees a number of them oscillate as they interchange into many different words... and Adrian Malcolm finds himself nearly swamped as a grand multitude of them seem to try and similarly forge words, though there are far too many that it's nearly impossible to decipher them on his end.[break][break]
Whilst this all happens, Cat whispers something to her Perrserker's ear and hands him something before heading towards @amber and luka chêne . Her Perrserker on the other hand hurries on over towards a small crowd, arms raised up and paws bunched up into fists downwards like an odd little cartoon character from the old days. At the centre of the crowd is the focus of the group, Eris Halla whom many of the folks seem to be trying to reassure. Björn slides between the folks that tower over him to reach the young girl and her Togekiss, the fluffy old Perrserker giving the young girl a pat on the hand to try and catch her attention.[break][break]
In his paw, outstretched in offering is a small packaged snack, a handful of Tiny Teddiursa chocolate biscuits, and an offering of a hug from the big fluffy cat. Whether it'd help much or not, neither Cat or Björn were sure, but, a little bit of comfort and warmth could go a long way?[break][break]
Meanwhile, the young supervisor had hurried over to @amber and luka chêne , "Uh, heya! I know this isn't exactly... the most normal situation, but... the worst thing right now is if we're all going at each other right now! Though uh... if you're all still feeling upset, that's more something that's probably my fault since I should have made sure more than this that everything was safe..." Cat had explained, while she hadn't been quite sure how to deal with people much, she'd tried her best to reassure and ultimately took responsibility, preferring that the expedition's ire was towards her exclusively rather than at each other. She hadn't felt too fond of people being upset, especially not at one another.[break][break]
Cat's eyes had widened a bit, a mixture of a sudden influx of panic and a bit of reddening with embarrassment before turning back to the rest of the expedition, "Oh! Right! Uh... try to stick together! Worst case situation is if someone goes and gets lost! I don't really know where we are quite yet, but... let's make sure we're all accounted for, okay?!" she'd shouted out as loud as she could.
Eventually however, the Unown that had circled around many of the people within the expedition—who seemed altogether harmless, in the young explorer's eyes that she hadn't cautioned against them—had chimed, seeming to try and communicate with the expedition before floating towards one side of the vast empty cavern.[break][break]
It's at this moment that many of you'd notice, the Unown that had moved towards that side seemed to orbit around a particular point, one that began to slowly shine brightly, before the light faded away, until the very rim which the Unown had circled, a shimmer of light... like an opening. The very thing you'd see from within the opening was... much of the same cavern you were in, yet, there were two things one would notice, the foggy pink mist was being blown back away from this... rift, as if air was flowing through, and within this strange rift it was apparent just how much more colourful it was within it, it's only now that many of you realise just how devoid of colour this section of the Interdream Zone was, beyond the sickly pink mist.[break][break]
It's easy to surmise that perhaps this is the exit, yet the sudden crackling of the emergency radio in Cat's hand sparking to life catches her attention. Though whatever was said had been nearly impossible to decipher over the sheer static. Yet, curious, Cat had bound over closer to the strange tear in reality, and it seemed the signal quality had been far better![break][break]
|KZZZZT. MISS CROSS, IT'S BAZZA, EVERYTHING OKAY OVER THERE?|[break][break]
"Mister Bardsley! Oh thank goodness!" Cat had shouted ecstatically, "hold on!" she'd quickly added, her curiosity knowing no bounds as she quickly threw her hand through the rift, then quickly the entire upper half of her body and a leg through the rift. The rest of the expedition might notice the young girl's body that had made contact with the rift seemed distorted, like a reflection in a body of water disturbed suddenly be ripples from a stone or the wind. Yet, thankfully, Cat had quickly pulled back, "it's the way out, this way, everyone!" she'd shouted with an excited smile![break][break]
The young girl had beckoned the expedition, staying at the entrance to make sure everyone was through first, her Perrserker trying to lead Eris Halla through first alongside her Togekiss, acting to make sure to get the child out first as well as to scout ahead.
A JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF HOENN
Eventually, as the last handful of the expedition makes their escape from the Interdream Zone—thankfully devoid of any monumental dangers, and perhaps finding their hands on particular prizes... or even finding particular treasures that perhaps hadn't been there at first—Cat makes sure to bring up the rear as the rift seems to close, the shimmering lights disappearing as the Interdream Zone seems to fade away.[break][break]
"Let's... take a break?" Cat had announced with a smile, understanding just how stressful the situation may have been to most of the expedition even if she was unsure of why, having not had to deal with the Soiree incident, nor really seeming to mind the potential dangers beyond what it could have meant for the expedition members aside from herself, her youthful recklessness showing a bit of itself.[break][break]
Yet... the young instructor hadn't quite noticed what was behind her, shortly after her suggestion, a bellowing gust of wind as something flew by, something angelo vestri may have quite easily recognised among many others. Whilst what they had seen on the other end of the rift had been a rock wall very much so similar to the cavern expanse that they had been in previously, behind the young Galarian had been a sight to behold.
Whilst they'd had plenty of room for the expedition to rest in front, a good handful of metres behind the young explorer was a sheer drop-off, and what seemed like sunlight, the sudden gust of wind from before having been foreshadowed by the silhouette of something, an AERODACTYL flying by. The edge of the drop-off was lined with grass and moss, water trickling from above and forming a small stream that led off the side.[break][break]
The young explorer had turned around, greeted with the view that the rest of the expedition had seen, a vast expanse of green, on the side of the ledge, a family of LILEEP and CRADILY whom seemed curious of the newfound group, but otherwise undisturbed. For those brave enough to look, they'd find that dotting the vast expanse, particular around areas that seemed like rivers or lakes, with less forestation around, several other living fossil pokémon that seemed undisturbed in this strange eco-system.[break][break]
The Minior that had been with the party had excitedly dashed out, hoping that it'd returned to the surface yet... despite the brilliant sunlight, it seemed... as though they were still underground, what had been mistaken for sunlight seeming to be a strange glowing crystal affixed to the ceiling of the expanse, though the rock that encompassed the area had easily shown they were still underground much to the Minior's disappointment, as the small pokémon sulking returned to its guardians and the expedition.[break][break]
"Er... just so you all know, break's still on! I think we're safe here but... I uh, I'm gonna keep watch!" Cat explained, her curiosity betraying her sense of responsibility as the young girl seemed to try to quickly think up an excuse to gaze out into the expanse and watch. As far as she or anyone within the expedition could tell, this was a natural eco-system, judging from how undisturbed by humans the CRADILY family had been, the implication of a natural eco-system full of pokémon considered extinct without mankind's intervention flourishing here? It had been too much for the young girl to pass up, a glimmer of excitement in her eye as she'd looked Cillian Quinn in particular in the eye, knowing that he'd shared her love for these sorts of pokémon.[break][break]
Nonetheless, the young Galarian girl had quickly used her phone as a means of observing the pokémon, both using it to zoom in and watch them, and to record them going about their lives as she lied down flat close to the edge. Whether the rest of the expedition took a break or continued chipping away at their surroundings for treasures, was up to them, but, it was likely that they'd be staying here long enough to manage to do both.

"You think that those are cute sounds?" she scoffs, clearly unconvinced. But she disregards it and continues, only for the entire world to change.
