Current Sometimes you spend so long looking for peace in someone else, you loose sight of that peace you can give yourself. Don't forget that guys.

Jason Connor






The memory of his encounter with the Scythers were still fresh in his mind as Jason returned to the deep woods and he was careful for numerous additional reasons as it came back. After a couple of hours, he realized that even though he knew he was looking for a person, searching the woods as he was had revealed neither a person nor a path they might use to navigate the deep woods. This is getting me nowhere, and yet I don't have any other leads to go on. And it's not like I can get a guide because no one's ventured into this area in a long time. Couple that with the fact that I'm also playing dodge the Scyther and let's not hit a cliff hang or walk into a hunder Spinarak or Ariados's web and...yeah...this was ill-advised at best.

However, as he was beginning to seriously consider just turning back and seeing if there was a safer venue to explore for the time being, one that didn't risk him getting lost in the depths of the forest, for example, he heard moving foliage behind him. Turning quickly, he also spots the strange light and frowns. On the one hand, this could be another Pokemon that wants to take his head off, but on the other hand...Fuck it. Moving carefully forwards, he attempts to see what the source of the light is without giving himself away.

The Corporal looked at the hand Nolan offered and then back at Nolan's face, suspicion evident in his eyes and clearly he was hesitant to take the proferred hand. One of the other guardsmen came up behind him. "Corporal, we need to make this work, that monster fucked too many of us up." He whispered it to the man and, after a moment, the Corporal took it and shook, though his grip needed some work.

"A pleasure, mister Waltz. I'm Corporal Nalen, Rembrandt Town Guard, as you know." He waited until Ria was done to continue. "A pleasure, to meet you as well, Miss Ria. As you've been briefed, we're here to work with the two of you and..." He tried to keep his front but something was lurking and an elbow from the man who'd whispered to him before made him speak up. "And we'd like to ask that you take the front of the caravan." The other man spoke up.

"Hi, PFC Tanson, and...I've got to be honest, since the Corporal won't, we don't have enough experience to take point on this. Usually the Sergeant sends men and women who've been with the guards for a few years longer than we have, but most of them got hurt in the last monster attack." Another young man came up and added to the story.

"The one's who aren't the garrison commander is loathe to send away in the event the monster attacks again, so that leaves us greener guys." The corporal glared at the two men beneath him, while the third combination watched and continued speaking with the wagon operators, before sighing.

"They're right, and the Sergeant and Garrison commander wanted people who could fight with us in case the thing attacks the caravan." He looked between the two mages. "You two...can fight, right?" This was said with genuine curiosity and concern, not the mistrust that had been in his voice before.

The sergeant listened to both Nolan and Ria before speaking, making sure that the four she had chosen, three of whom were laughing and one of whom was eyeballing the two mages suspiciously before he saw the Sergeant look over, he then found other things to do, weren't in earshot before speaking. "The Corporal in charge of my men has express orders to ask you for help, not order. He's known to be outspoken against the guild, but the truth is we all need to work together. Just...watch him. Normally I wouldn't send someone so likely to butt heads with you on a mission like this, but he's the only one we can spare to lead our part of this escort. It is a partnership, but don't let him think for even a second that he has any command over you." She then resumes here louder voice. "With that out of the way, the caravan should be ready to head out in about five minutes, best of luck. Corporal Tanner, you have your orders, I pray you follow them." The man who'd been eyeballing the mages before jumped when his name is spoken and then quickly salutes.

"Yes Sergeant!"

Jenna was wrapping up the concert, unable to convince Damian, who was trying to get Amelia to go do a job, to put on a show with her, when Ky caught her eye and called for her attention. Having the band wrap up without her as Trent took over vocals while she approached the gathered trio. Smiling, she bowed to the two newer arrivals. "Name's Jenna Wolfsbane, guild master of the Rising Starborn mage guild and unofficial liason to the town's government. What can I do for you?"

Even as Jason took his shower and moved through his morning routines, the dream stuck with him, something about the way the voice was reaching out wouldn't leave him alone. At least until he stepped out of the Pokecenter and into the sun that made it through the boughs of Starbor. No point worrying about it, just a dream anyways. And with that, he dismissed it from his mind for the time being, instead heading to the Pokemart, where he bought eight Pokeballs, two Antidotes and two more potions before heading back out to make a trip to try and find Helga and see if she could help him get to where he was looking for in the deep woods.

Each downed wild Pokemon made his team stronger and better equipped to push deeper into the forest's depths, however, as Slayer took a mean hit, getting poisoned for the effort as well before downing the Spinarak, the lack of any natural light from the sun made the aspiring champion pause to consider. He wasn't entirely sure where in the woods Helga even was, though he was sure she'd find him first if she knew the deep woods as well as was implied, but he also didn't want to push his luck in the darkness anymore than he already had, especially knowing that there was the pitfalls in these woods that he knew there was. After some consideration, he decided to head back to the Pokemon Center in Starbor, using a piece of rope to mark where he left off by tying it around a low hanging and readily visual branch before heading back.

Once he was safely back in town and had gotten his Pokemon into the Pokemon Center to heal, he went to a nearby vendor and got something to snack on, quietly humming to himself as he did his best to plan the rest of his excursion into the Deep Woods when the sun was higher in the sky, though it only made the shadows lighter that deep into the woods. Wonder if any of the other champion candidates are in the area yet... Noting he only had two Pokeballs to spare as well, he made a mental note to also stop by a Pokeshop in the morning as well.

As the pair approached the Town Guard's command center, they would see that there were two or three transport vehicles that had arrived sometime before with the drivers taking stock of the contents and a pair of mechanics making sure that the engines weren't damaged. However, the number of Town Guard members who were actually capable of doing their duties was greatly decreased compared to the number normally running around. Ria had spent enough time running around that she had seen the number of guards who normally accompanied the supply caravan and...there was not enough to go with them this time. Spotting the mages, a sergeant waved them over. "Oi, you two! Come here!" When they approached and showed her the signed and seal job posting, she nodded. "Good, we're gonna need you. I'm sending four lads with the caravan anyways, and I've already sent word ahead to your Guild Master that we'll need some mages to cover their duties. Garrison commander approved it, don't worry. Now, there is word of a pack of Vulcans on the road, but the four I'm sending are more than capable of handling those. You're going to be there in the event that damned lightning beast attacks. There's also been some rumors of a pack of Asterins about, but without any real confirmation, all I can recommend is to keep on your toes. Any questions?"

Shaking his head at the way the researcher proceeded to pass right the fuck out, Jason faced the Librarian, excitement churning in his belly. "Do you happen to know the area she's referring to? I was in the Deep Woods earlier, but...I gotta be honest, the number of webs and Ariados in there was impressive, even with the Scyther returning to the area. Or maybe an old map of the paths before Cipher messed things up?" Jason knew where he could go in with relative safety, though he was fully aware that he would want to remain vigilant for more Scyther looking to take him off the census when he got there. In fact, might not hurt to train up the team some, make them ready to throw down with whatever is waiting in the Deep Woods...

After getting an answer, and maybe a map, Jason would go out to train his team up before heading out to the Deep Woods to find the shrine that the professor had said was there. He would start with Slayer and just work through the team from there.

(Auto-train the whole team. Have Occisor wear down a Beedrill with Quick Attack and try to catch it when it looks weak.)

"I'd be happy to help in any capacity I can, miss. Any particular suggestions on what to look for?" Jason was eager to get started, hoping to maybe add helping to solve one of the great mysteries of the region as well as becoming the region's champion when the time came.
Jason Connor






Still stunned by his inability to really understand, he nodded to the librarian and spoke to the woman again, this time getting to his point quickly. "Miss Jacqulyn, I'm here because I understand that you're looking into the stories about the shrine here in the forest and I was hoping to offer my assistance in some capacity. I just...was wanting to know what it was you already knew."
As the music, after several sets, began to wind down, Jenna would smile and bowed to the applauding guild members and the small amount of townsfolk who were also enjoying themselves. Karma, the bartender, was handing out drinks when the three who normally kept to themselves, or chased others off in Adelyn's case, began to cause trouble and she fixed them with a "don't you start a fight now" glare before moving to the next person. Jenna, of course, was giving a speech of sorts, though really she was explaining the plan going forward for the rest of the week. "We've invited an old friend here for a special event, but for now, let's talk about what we have going on. As you all know, there are a lot of jobs coming in, so, Rising Starborn, you know the drill by now; get a job, get it done, and come home safe and sound. The guard is asking for help in a couple of these jobs, what with the recent attack by that powerful bastard no one can find since, so don't turn them down if they approach you. Got more of the usual, deliveries and the like, so just do what you do and stay safe everyone!"
