Welcome to Gaia! ::

Osmond wanted to reject, saying someone in more understanding pain should take it, but he shook his mind, and allowed a tinge of avarice mark his senses. "Thank you," he said gratefully as he extended a hand and took both the bottle of water and pills from her. He popped the wan specks into his mouth like candy, where the hit the back of his throat, and washed them down with a flood of water mouthed with a few chugs. Capping the bottle, he smeared the water from his lips, and internally hurried the painkillers to work their magic as he turned back to soothing Marlo.

To Osmond's chagrin, pain wasn't ending, because he suddenly fell with the others into what was probably the fiery depths of Hell.

As if the attack itself hadn't been enough, now they had all fallen and tumbled down the mountainside. Somewhere along the way, Dora thunked her head on one of the loose rocks. By the time they had all stopped moving, the teenager was knocked out. She was quite thoroughly dead to the world, which was really something of a mercy after everything that had been going on so far.

Arwen grunted, blinking himself awake. The last blow from the Aerodactyl had hit him pretty hard, and it didn't help that he ended up crashing into a tree. There was a cut on his arm, too, but past that and the bruises, he didn't think he was too hurt. With a sigh, he recalled Parthenius, who'd returned to him, and hid her Poké Ball away. He was done playing Arwen for now.

Genesis had just finished taking off her disguise and bandaging her arm when she felt the ground shake. She feared another Aerodactyl, but it was worse than that: a landslide.

Unable to fight against gravity, especially in her state right now, she ended up rolling into a ditch, in full view of everyone else there. Still, it wasn't obvious from first glance that she was a Rocket, and there were enough people around for people to think she'd been here the whole time (at least, she hoped so).

Jack tumb,led when the ground gave way, trying to shield Dora and the Duskull, but she rolled and fell rapidly, finally falling into the end in a rather bruised and battered state, twitching slightly as somebody or another landed on her.

NOT COOL. Her day. It was... Not good.

The ground began to shake once again underfoot, but much more violently. Walpuris quickly stabbed his knife into the tree beside him, using it for balance. But the ground beneath the tree itself collapsed, sending the rocket down. Pulling out another knife, he slammed it into the earth, slowing his decent considerably but not stopping it.

Finally he reached the ground, and he pulled out another knife, ready for a confrontation.

Oh, no, not again....

Juno managed to hurry Desdemona back into her lantern just in time as the ground gave out under them. She clutched the Litwick tightly to her chest as the world fell away.

They bounced down the slope, rolling and tumbling, striking rocks and trees and people. The rumbling of stones on the move filled her ears. Her rapier clattered and clanged and Desdemona's lantern rattled as the Litwick shrieked and other people and Pokémon shouted.

Everything came to a halt. Juno pushed herself up into a sitting position. She was surrounded by allies and enemies alike.

Tumbling down in a rockslide was painful. Incredibly painful, and when they reached a point where they had all stopped, the pirate could only lay there. Up. Get up.

She sat up with a grimace, but aside from being sore and bruised, it didn't feel as if anything had broken. "Is everyone all right?" she called out to everybody.
