>>5428681>>5428683Swirlix hums in thought as she hops along, herded in the right direction by an irate Mawile. "It's this multi-layered cake styled right after this Alcremie I saw once... I thought I was in the a-afterlife! But it was gone b-before I had the chance..." You can see her drooling and a hungry glint in her eyes.
It appears she has been temporarily lost.
>>5428682>>5428688>>5428700Mawile shakes her head. "I'd rather not. It's already some trouble trying to keep her in check and I'm not one to want more... ahem, 'mons to watch over." She pulls out her Wonder Map. "We are, however, trying to update these things and have them sent back to the Federation. Real important shit."
"We do it annually!" Swirlix says.
"And I'd much rather do it solo... I even had a trip planned at the end. Stars above..."
Swirlix glances back at Stern. "We're a group of like-minded individuals out to explore, learn, and help others!"
She places her map back in the bag. "Usually just cartography and exploration of places even other guilds don't know about. Our time is valuable, you know?"
>>5428686Citrine follows along and manages to spot a bag left unattended on the side of the road. The woven material holding it together is crumbling and sun-bleached, so it's definitely not a recent loss. Concealed by the bushes and trees of the road, you'd have to be in his exact position to have noticed it.
>Take the bag?>>5428687Charles doesn't see much. The conversation is distracting him!
>>5428691Kaku's got a sharp eye and is keeping a good lookout. He manages to spot a glimpse of the ocean and the gathering of Krabbys. It's a pretty sight to see the water glittering like that.
>80EXPAlthough... he swears he just saw something moving in the shadows. Was it a trick of the light?
They begin climbing the steps.
