[nospaces] [attr="class","omgen"] [attr="class","omgentop"]EXCAVATOR'S EXPEDITION [attr="class","omgenmid"] 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!"
