 [Time Skip]
Kayla yawned as she was woken by birds chirping and other trainers waking up. Stretching, Kayla got up and rubbed her eyes, trying to see what was going on. Did anything happen when she was asleep? Kayla didn't feel any more groggy than normal. She felt herself, making sure there were no darts or foreign objects sticking out of her. Nope. Nothing either.
Looking around, Kayla saw Adira still awake but she had moved to a different location, more closer towards the dead campfire, eyes watching the waking trainers and pokemon.

Leta waited quietly toward the back of the group, looking rather nervous. She had never been attacked by Pokemon before, much less the Rockets, and she was shaken from the entire affair. For once, she wished that she was a Pokemon trainer rather than a researcher... Research can't protect you from being attacked!
"Calm yourself, Leta..." She whispered, "It'll be alright." She took a deep breath, and closed her eyes for a moment, "Things seem like they're settling down."
She nodded, feeling a little better from her little 'pep talk' with herself, and she looked around for her things. In the panic, she had lost her clipboard, her pen, and even her Pokeball! God only knows what would have happened if she had lost her glasses, but thankfully they managed to stay put. Leta soon spotted her Pokeball and picked it up, clutching it in her hand tightly. If any more Pokemon showed up, she'd have to keep her head and try to catch it this time.

 ((I don't think I can be here tomorrow, but I will try.))
Day was up early, watching the sun rise from her sleeping bag with Faith in her lap. She fished around in her bag for anything to eat, and, not finding much, could only eat an apple and feed Faith a couple of cookies. She looked around for any kind of fruit-bearing tree, but saw none. She sighed, knowing she and her Pokemon would have to eat very small meals to have enough food until the end of tomorrow.
Thinking of the next day was sad, since Day wasn't even sure whether they would get to mines, and she also had not caught a Pokemon yet.

((The sign-up thread says the event ends on the 7th, which is tomorrow. So... XD))
"Oh, well I have an Espeon, Skitty, Absol, and Swablu. Only the Espeon, Daybreak, and the Swablu, Era, are really with me though. They're sleeping right now."
She was surprised as to how many Pokemon she had accumulated ever since she came to Zatao. And she wasn't really actively seeking some more. They just... stumbled into her and she had to take care of them.
"A lot of people hope to get a Pokemon on this trip. I have a sister that caught her first one." She smiled slightly. "But maybe you'll get lucky soon. I hope so."

PossiBly the MOS+ unmotivated [{traINer}]....
With a yawn Effie was awaken, someone was talking in the wagon. “Mrpgh! Shuddup~…” She growled to the source of the noise, but it was too late, no matter how hard she kept her eyes shut Effie knew she was wake. Sleep wouldn’t come for another twelve hours. “Damn…” She hissed, rising from her lay, and came up to a sitting position, eyeing the surrounding contents of the wagon. Who was talking? The girl planned on throwing her pillow, this was outrageous!
When her eyes fell of a rather unfamiliar face, she blinked. Once, then twice. “Umm, hello…have you entered the wrong wagon?” She asked, not recognizing the face that was pretty silent up until today. Effie merely thought the girl was from another wagon and might have crawled into this one by accident last night.
....bUt everyone has A .::passion::. , she might find herZ.

"Hey Adira. Did anything unusual happened last night?" Kayla wondered. She had a feeling nothing went down or else Adira would have woken her up. And like she thought, Adira looked back at her human and shook her head. "Dos, dos."
"Well that's good at least." She sighed as she prepared to get up to do her morning ritual. Hea was already up and walking around as if stretching her legs. Grinch and Quin gone. Hmm, they must have went to the wagons to get their own food.
Shrugging, Kayla went to her bag and got out her toothbrush, toothpaste, change of clothes and other accessories necessary to start a new day with fresh. She turned her attention to Adira and Hea. "Hey guys, I am going to go get ready. Could you get some food while I'm gone?" Expecting the agreements from the two, Kayla went off to do her thing.

Mis awoke stretching both arms over her head. Smacking her lips as she wiped her eyes. Hobbling to her feet she was slightly hunched over as she walked towards a wagon. She was a morning person, but sleeping outside interfered with that. She leaned against a wagon as she blunk several times attempting to clear the opaqueness from her eyes, she was only seeing things as blurs so far.

It was not until the early hours of the morning that Liam returned, swaying a bit as he trudged forward. His arms felt numb, his legs were getting there, and his eyes shifted in and out of focus with each step. It might not have helped that he was exhausted, having been up all night. Briefly the healer leaned against a nearby tree, his shoulder pressed against the bark.
He hadn't known that the darts effects could return, although he was kicking himself for not thinking about it. It all made sense now, even though he was already half paralyzed. His elevated level of distressed while the tranquilizer had been taken effect had restricted the access of the syrum while flowing through his body the first time. And since had had to calm down some time, it was only a matter of time before his muscles loosened and accepted the tranquilizer again.
Pushing off the tree, not without a little effort, Liam entered the campsite, collapsing to a sitting position next to the pack he had left the day before, leaning back to rest against it. Just a little nap. Then he'd be up and ready to go... do whatever the other trainers wanted. As usual.

Kali yawned and opened her eyes to see the sun rising. She stayed in her sleeping bag but looked around. Some other trainers were waking up and talking. She stretched and sat up. Ziku began to stir as Kali sat on top of her sleeping bag. Everything seems calm today.

Ridley was up for an early watch, so he noticed Liam's return. He'd worried about it the entire night, but he couldn't afford to do something suspicious like get caught slipping off again. Now, though, he rose from his spot beside Soulcrusher and went to his side, nudging him with his foot. He wanted to question where he'd been, though he wasn't sure that he'd get a friendly answer after yesterday's events.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Leta gasped, "Did I wake you? I'm really sorry about that." She sounded a bit frantic, but managed to get to the point without much trouble. "I don't think so, this is wagon one, right?" She glanced around, seeing that she was indeed in the right wagon.
"Nope, I'm right where I'm supposed to be." She smiled, relieved. "My name is Leta, and I'm a Pokemon researcher." She extended her left hand to shake, doing her best to appear friendly. She didn't want to make a bad impression on anyone, least of all someone who had just been woken up by her talking.
"What's your name? Do you have any Pokemon with you?" She asked hopefully. If she did, Leta made a mental note to stick close by in case of another attack. She just hated feeling so helpless.

 Riza reeled--that many pokemon?! She must be an amazing trainer! She wondered briefly what had happened to Kai, and if Bug and Arashi had ever caught a pokemon during this whole wild ride.
"Thanks, I hope so too!" she said, grinning widely, "So how come you only brought two with you on the caravan? If it's alright to ask that--I mean, I don't want to pry...."
Yep, back to her usual self. She hoped Piney didn't mind her asking such questions.

 ((This happened last night, CC. surprised ))
---NIGHTTIME---
Well, it was night. Moonlight was shining faintly on the camp, silver like the Donut. (*snrk*) Completely silent, the gastly whisped past the carts until he reached Effie's side... she was sleeping with a frown on her face, which made him want to shock her awake and laugh at the expression she'd make. Maybe she'd even throw things at him again! But he was here for something else entirely... although it was still for the sake of entertainment in the end.
The other gastlies had doubtlessly cast an illusion or dream on this girl to mess up her memories of Lamen. He'd seen them do stuff like that before... but he didn't like things with such long-lasting consequences. They prevented him from having MORE fun afterwards! Especially if the people his trainer hung out with couldn't laugh at his pranks.
So, he would fix this. Slipping into Effie's dreams was easy; just execute a half-assed dream eater, and you'll have it all under control. Okay, time to go. The gastly began playing the events that HE'D seen happen: the truth. Well, not exactly... because being the trickster he was, presenting it unembellished would be a little too much to ask from him. Okay, so he wasn't showing the truth at all. So what?
Lamen was recounting her childhood memories of a ghost pokemon, when the mist thickened considerably. Noticing a shape in the trees that looked like a gastly, she began to walk towards it, whispering to Alastair: "We follow it, but don't make any noise and don't let it see you. Hopefully, it will lead us to the swarm."
She and the man were stalking behind it when suddenly, a scream could be heard from elsewhere in the forest. Lamen paled, running towards the voice as fast as she could, followed by Alastair. Finally, she reached her friend and hugged her, and now everything went as Aimi had seen: Lamen apologizing over and over again, saying it was her fault.
Satisfied with his work, the Gastly pulled back from Effie and left to return to his trainer, cackling in the night. He'd love to see how confused the girl would be tomorrow, with two versions of the same story, opposites of each other- but neither of them true.

While Kayla was off doing her business, it left Hea and Adira alone for the first time. They didn't get to talk to each other but neither made the effort. Hea was currently, looking for some appealing greens to start on breakfast while Adira was watching the surrounding areas while keeping a wary eye on Hea too.
Even though Kayla caught Hea, she had no trust on Hea yet. Grinch and Quin had earned a little trust and little respect but the girafarig had only been with them for a couple of days. That wasn't long enough to gain Adira's trust.
The mostly kept silent, but it wasn't a uncomfortable one.

Oh. He did not appreciate that at all.
"What do you want?"
Liam opened his eyes again, narrowing his already halflidded eyes at the other. One would think the look would have been oozing with anger and hurt feelings, especially after what had happened yesterday. Which happened to have been the reason he wandered out in the middle of the night in the first place. And yet there was barely a trace of those things. Instead, mild irritation replaced them, the healer too tired to really snap at him. Damn dart. Damn rockets. Damn world.
