I noticed being less of a grump and actually listening made me feel rather good. I wasn't smiling, but I did feel a spark inside of me. Even that weird image seemed to dissipate from my mind.
"Alright then. We have to go to some dangerous swamp to find a supposedly rare blob of gelatin (and God knows whether a horse pony Rarity (she's a marshmallow by meme standards) Rapidash or slime-based Pokemon was involved in the creation of it), to satisfy one 'mon's fetish? And his name is 'John' out of every pseudonym he could pick?" I looked around for any reactions, but it was clear this matter was actually quite serious. "Well, we've dealt with worse, and the name's just out of paranoia. We should be going after Desia and other Void Orbs, but we've got no leads for anything else."
Meanwhile, Kamina was creepily quiet. I think walking out on him wasn't a good idea. I probably should've let him talk to me rather than storm out of the room. To be fair though, he did do that without my consent. Spruce was kinda waiting for us before deciding he would leave early, while Celes was noting her current weaknesses. Cruelly (and rather boringly), I just HAD to be immune to Poison. I mean, everything we've done so far just involved me being a wall to some Ice-type, or Normal-type, or... it was pretty unfair for my teammates.
"Celes, as long as you have me, you're probably better off worrying if Spruce is even gonna get there." I did wait for the others to join us, but I had to leave quickly to make sure Spruce brought a map with himself, zooming over some various Pokemon apparently eager to join the Guild.
