I'll Protect Tashy.

Edit: Whoops, didn't see Eric's second post. xD I will search Sandwoods Apartments (28a) Floors 1-3 looking for Yandil's house :O

[EmeraldSky]

Clear out the park's south field tonight...

[Neo Emolga]

Hey, so we've got a pretty good clue as to who one of these Stalkers are! Still, I wonder how many are out there.

Anyway, tonight, I'm going to take this freshly blessed porcelain bowl, fill it with water, and bless that water. Guys, totally not for drinking! I have plenty of soda in the fridge if you're thirsty, but don't drink this please!

I'll also screen this [Yellow Fur] once I'm done with that! And once that's done, definitely trying to see if I can recreate those delicious sugar cookies I had in Utopia. They really make awesome ones up there!

Working through the night, Tashy starts by filling the [Blessed Porcelain Bowl: <Empty>] with water from the faucet and she performs the Seinaru needed to bless the water and make it holy. After a while, the water becomes entirely pure and imbued with holy essence.

[Blessed Porcelain Bowl: <Empty> has become [Blessed Porcelain Bowl: <Holy Water>]

Once that's done, Tashy then focuses on screening the [Yellow Fur] sample. It takes Tashy about an hour, but after she works though it, she makes the confirmation.

Pokémon Sample [Yellow Fur] does NOT belong to a Stalker. It has been removed from the Team Inventory.

She makes some really darn good sugar cookies, though. ;3

[Neo Emolga]

WAIT I'M ACTUALLY GONNA PROTECT TASHY SORRY.

You decide to be Tashy's bodyguard tonight. She's ecstatic to see you and is more than happy to welcome you into her temporary home from home. She makes it feel quite cozy in there as she offers you cookies and a cola while she does her work.

While she does her blessings and sample screenings, you keep a watchful eye, making sure any Stalkers that come in here are gonna have a real bad time.

#45 Tashy the Furret will be defended against all Stalker attacks for this Night Cylce.

Yeah... I've had my run with trouble. I'm a tough 'mon but if I wanna avoid getting myself killed or driven insane by these stalkers Ill need some sleep. Taking a rest for the night.

Having had to see with some rather grizzly Stalker components during the past few days, you decide to make good use of the sleeping quarters the Emissaries have available. At least your hands have stopped bleeding, but they're still going to need a bit of time to fully heal. In the meantime, you figure it's best to be mentally ready as well. You got very lucky by being immune to the mind ravaging effects of the Suicide Mirror, but there's no telling what else might be lurking around the corner with things like that being around.

You've had some really productive days and you feel it's time for some well-deserved rest. You hop into bed, pull the bedsheets over you, close your eyes, and relax. Already you're feeling a sense of comfort you haven't had for a while, and it helps you easily let yourself go and drift peacefully into being fast asleep. You'll be ready to go when tomorrow morning comes.

Well that meeting with Tashy went quite well. I say we interview #40 Jaxie the Gothorita next.

Hello there! Lovely tavern you've got, any drink recommendations? I have a friend who is in die need of a drink to help her relax a little.

Madder!

Any who, I was just wondering if you know anything about the Stalkers? You see quite a bit of the night life, yes? Perhaps you've seen a suspicious person or two around?

Interview Rapport: NEUTRAL, INTIMIDATING
+Intimidation (Ghost vs Psychic)

You arrive at the Another Round Tavern where the nightlife here is rabid and rowdy. There's a lot of noise and shady-looking Pokémon, and it seems like even the situation with the Stalkers hasn't intimidated this unruly crew from getting slammed.

"Well, you two seem new," Jaxie the Gothorita tells you as you address her. "Who's the funny hedgehog? Is she supposed to be your pet?"

She smirks when you tell her she needs a drink and Sloane gets angry about it.

"I have a special called Belue Bazooka," Jaxie smirks. "Or there's the Plastered Patrat. Either one of those will have your little hedgehog friend just begging to get off the merry-go-round before the purple Zekrom catches up to her."

You ask her about the Stalkers and if she's seen any suspicious Pokémon around. She seems to just roll her eyes.

"Hun, look around," she sighs. "Everyone here and their mother could be considered a 'suspicious' sap. I run a bar, not a babysitting service. You want to get hammered and slammed, hey, I can be your tour guide. But I don't keep tabs on who comes and who goes when and where. Sure, you have your regulars and stuff, but I barely know them."

"Well, if you want something, I did ban Jeddi's sorry fat-chewing carcass from the bar just yesterday," Jaxie tells you, looking a bit pissed. "A week ago, she comes in here, gets wasted off of seven drinks that racked her tab up to 3500 Poké, and left without paying. That idiotic crotch goblin waited until I was busy taking someone else's drink order and she snuck out like the pompous tramp sucker she is. Last night, she comes back and totally acts like nothing happens and played it thinking I didn't even remember what she did. I demanded the money and that stupid slut wagon just laughed. I smashed a god-damn empty beer bottle right in her cheeky, butt-giggling face and she ran out screaming. Never came back, but I would give her a total hellstorm if she does. I swear, I'd pay the Stalkers and treat them to free drinks if they could grind her sorry taint jockey face into goo. Everyone says it's Yandil that's the problem but I think it's really her that gets under his skin. If I had to work every day with that flapping anal biscuit, I'd go homicidal."

"Anyway, sorry for the rant, but that's the scoop," Jaxie tells you as she mixes another drink in a shaker. "If you run into that tramp basket, tell her she still owes me money."

PXR wouldn't load yesterday, so I know I'm late with this, but if it's still allowed I'll Search: (17) Dayshare Apartments

[Neo Emolga]

Guess I'll search (8) Overland Metalworks - (8b) Floors 1-5

You get to Overland Metalworks, where the building is pretty old but has been nicely adapted to suit just about all the needs Overland has for dealing with metal work. Here you find a large part of the factory floor is dedicated toward mass production of sheet metal and metallic alloys for whoever their customers are.

At this hour, there isn't much activity at all. You find a large number of the machines have been turned off, but you figure most of them will be fully operational in the morning. A great many of them seem pretty complicated and complex and you're not even sure what most of them do. From what you can tell, the first three floors are dedicated to mass production processes and raw material manufacturing. It also seems to be organized according to department and types of goods produced.

On the fourth floor, you find this is where Overland is doing machine testing and prototype building. Most of the devices here are a lot more experimental and conceptual in nature, but they haven't undergone enough testing and verification to put into action. From what you can tell, it seems like the company is trying to delve into other industries, but still focus on metal-related market niches.

It's here where you find a large, metallic machine created specifically to reconstruct jewelry regardless of how much damage it has undergone. Judging from the test results, it has been quite successful and has been validated to repair just about anything from bracelets, necklaces, lockets, rings, and other similar items. It seems it just hasn't been prepared for mass production, but you figure it isn't far off from getting to that point.

You decide to take note of it, as it seems this may be something you might need to come back to in the near future.

Objective {Metallic Jewelry Repair Machine: Jewelry Repair Tray} has been noted in the Team Records.

You then head to the fifth floor, where it seems like machines and prototypes that haven't passed their preliminary tests are taken here for reevaluation. Right now, it doesn't seem like a whole lot of work is being here and with the staff being limited, it may be a while before reassessment work here continues. You do, however, find a clump of blue fur that looks like it was yanked out when someone got it caught in a closing door. You decide to taking the sample, wondering if Tashy might be able to figure out if it belongs to a Stalker.

Pokémon Sample [Blue Fur] has been added to the Team Inventory.

You search out the rest of the floor, but it doesn't seem like there's too much else to find up here. You then decide to head back and report what you found to the others.

I'll Protect Tashy.

Edit: Whoops, didn't see Eric's second post. xD I will search Sandwoods Apartments (28a) Floors 1-3 looking for Yandil's house :O

You decide to check out the Sandwoods Apartments building in the far northwestern side of town. This apartment complex actually seems pretty welcoming where the rent is reasonable and because of that, it's definitely one of the more popular places to rent in Southwarren. It's definitely nothing fancy or frilly, but it's cozy enough for most of the middle-class and working-class Pokémon can live here comfortably. The wooden floor is generally clean, the lighting is modern, and while there are a few scuff marks on the white-painted sheetrock walls, it's nothing major that a new coat of paint wouldn't fix once they get around to doing it.

You decide to check out the first three floors. At this time of night, most of the Pokémon are asleep, though there are still a few, especially the dark and ghost types, that are still up and about. As you expected, most of the apartments are occupied. You're able to check out most of them, hiding in the shadows, but you don't really find too many things out of the ordinary. Most Pokémon are pretty diligent in keeping their living areas clean and in good condition, save for a few exceptions.

When you get to Apartment 8, things seem a little strange. Someone violently scratched out the "8" and gave it a new number of "553590." You have a feeling the landlord isn't aware of this and this particular room was supposed to be vacant. It could be for any number of reasons. Renovations, reserved for future tenants, or other similar reasons, but as it stands, it seems like someone is using it when they're not supposed to.

You try to get into it but the door is locked. It doesn't seem like a complex lock, so maybe someone might be able to pick it. Since it doesn't seem like the apartment is being used as someone's residence, you have a feeling the key might be hidden somewhere.

Locked door {Locked Apartment #8 Door: 8 Emblem / <Lockpick>} has been noted in the Team Records.

On the second floor, you find Yandil's apartment, but what you mind mostly confirms what Laura already found. His apartment is one of the few that is very much in disarray simply because he doesn't give himself time to clean it. But you can tell from his work piles is that a lot of his work is unnecessary and really hits on an obsessive compulsive disorder in terms of perfectionism.

On the third floor, you don't find anything significantly out of the ordinary either. It's nice and quiet up here and most of the Pokémon seem to be sleeping peacefully.

You decide to head back to base and tell the others what you've found.
