Welcome to Gaia! ::

When she saw another head turn to her direction she started to notice that she was a bit louder than she realized. "Whoops..." But the embarrassment of the fact left as fast as it came when she was invited to eat with a couple of other girls. "Oh, really? Thanks. Name's Lynne by the way." It took the stubborn Tauros some convincing to socialize, but she eventually got it to come along with her.

"Hello." She answered, looking for a second she saw the bandanna too. "Oh hey, you're purple too!" Sadly that was rather reassuring to find someone of her own group, but in no time she was distracted again, going back to the tail-wagging Arcanine. "So, you said this is Vincent, right?" She really didn't have any idea about the past two swarms. She must have been way behind...

@ Ryuu, Chocbo, and Mythee

Alexa looked up when someone else approached the little group and asked a question. "Uh..... I don't think so... Sorry." She replied, "Do you need help looking for it?"

Her stomach rumbled and she blushed. "Ehehehehehe sorry about that. Haven't had my dinner yet." She said looking at Mina, "I don't mind if you share dinner with me. What kind of food do you have with you?" She had some jerky, some noodles, and fresh fruit and veggies.

"Nice to meet you Lynne. And yep that Vincent. The Swablu here is Stribog. He's a bit touchy so I don't recommend petting him." She was a bit too late with the warning as Mina went to pet him.

Stribog did not like being petted and was about to peck the insulting hand when he heard a growl. Looking up at the big dog he flapped his wings. "Swa! Blu blu swab!"

((It's okay Ryuu. There's no real posting order.))

Ridley nodded in agreement, though he raised his eyebrows at Liam's attitude, amused that after those big words, Liam was messing around like this. He started to get his hopes up. The Rocket laughed as Liam grabbed his chest, pouring him another shot, and shrugged, tossing his shot back as well and refilling his glass.

"The more we drink, the better, I say," he smirked, then nodded as Liam asked him truth or dare.

"Truth," he answered, quirking an eyebrow, warming Liam up.

((@Blue / Chocobo / Mythee))

"Mina," she replied with a smile. "Sure am! Don't think I've seen you before, though," she said, thinking back. The girl didn't seem familiar at all, but the purple bandana on her Tauros was proof enough that they were in the same group.

Anala nickered softly in greeting towards the Tauros, recognizing the Pokemon from the ranch she grew up in.

"Wooah," she said quickly, retreiving her hand. She had experience with pecking Pokemon before, and they weren't particularly pleasant. She patted Vincent quickly in thanks before looking to see who had called out.

"A silver Gengar?" she asked. That was certainly rare, and she was sure that if she had seen one, she would have remembered it. "I haven't seen one, either...." She trailed off, scanning the area again for signs of it, 'though she doubted she would find anything. Gengars weren't ghost Pokemon for nothing.

"Well..." she started, looking for a quick second inside the bag at her side and rummaging through it. "I have... feathers?" she said curiously, taking a few of them out. Evidently, she hadn't noticed the Swablu had stolen some of her own things earlier. But at least she still had the berries she picked recently.

"Bye," she called out to the retreating trainer, still distracted with the contents (or lack of it) of her bag.

"Where were you today, really?" he asked, lifting his eyebrows curiously. It was possible the rocket had, in fact, just been lost, but for some reason he sincerely doubted it. It couldn't be a coincidence that the group was attacked, nor that Ridley had been antsy the day before. Perhaps he had been on the helicopter.

Thinking about it for a second, he flashed his companion an easy-going grin, letting him know it was all in good fun, and he was not going to rage at him. Well, that wasn't true, he might, be it wasn't likely, not with the mood they were both in.

"Silver Gangar? How odd. No sorry. Hope you find him though." Lynne started to feel bad for not counting Tauros in much as she went back into the back on his back again, but it didn't seem much like he cared about her watching the others', having lied down and fallen asleep.

"Oh, same to you! Let's see... I got water bottles, some cereal and sunflower seeds..." Needless to say, she had yet to master the art of properly packing food. She set a side a bit of each to offer into the mixture.

"Ya'know I can't say I've seen you before either, though then again Tauros and I have been a bit lost for some time now, so..."

(Didn't sleep much last night so I'm starting to get tired... x.x if I randomly disappear that's why, sorry. x.x)

@ Ryuu and Chocobo

Alexa looked at Lynne and chuckled. "You'll have to learn to pack a little better. You can get lucky though and find berries and other food out like this." She said looking to Mina, "We can try. It'll have no meat unless you don't mind jerky mixed in."

She dug through another pack bringing out a bigger pot. She grabbed one of the jugs of water and filled it. "Hm.... we just need some sticks for a fire." Setting down the pot she looked at Vincent who was starting to whine. "Right. Food for you." She dug through another pack and got out the pokefood and fed Vincent and Stribog. It was then that Apolla's ball began to shake. She grabbed and let the Vulpix out. "Can't forget you." She said setting out food for Apolla.

Apolla instantly spotted the bird on Alexa's shoulder. Giving it a cold glare her tails poofed out and her fur bristled. "Vuuulllll."
Stribog seeing the glare, glared right back and a rivalry was born in that instant. "Sssswwwaaaa!"

((Okay. Night in advance Chocobo!))

Lumina had taken to listening in to the quiet chatter as the night had drawn on. Between truth or dare, a missing pokemon, casual chatter and the snoring of sleeping companions, Lumina had drifted between a light sleep and barely being awake. She had kept an eye out on the unconscious man like she had promised, though, and picked up enough sleep to hold her through the day.

Stretching, the watcher prodded the fire and looked around, waiting for anyone else to awaken for some company.
