4th Meal

[keep_surviving]

[Diana turns the camera on, looking bedraggled and peeved off.]

So, after whatever the hell that was this weekend, I really wanted to just sleep for like, a whole day. But this is what I woke up to in my face this morning.

[She turns the camera to show off the grinning face of a Lycanroc.]

What the hell, Ingno? Why do you look like that?

[The Lycanroc grins wider, letting its tongue loll out of its mouth.]

Lana didn't turn into something this creepy. I nearly punched you in the nose!

[The wolf-like creature doesn't seem to care, it shakes its head and runs over to sit beside another Lycanroc (Midday Form). Diana sighs off screen.]

Great, because it already didn't take me- [Pause. There's four, large, round shadows near the dogs feet.]

Lana... What the hell are those?

[[ooc; Siondreamsofahero Walter 11121_assumption and Jinxbadluckbabe you will all be receiving Rockruff eggs! They've even got the bonus egg move Taunt!]]

[Note to Sion]
Thanks for helping me out this weekend. You probably don't remember but also you gave me an egg when I first got here, so now I'm giving you one back.
- Diana (I was that chick with the baby)

[Note to Walter]
Hey Walt, Charlie hatched, he's real cute. My guys had some eggs too, so I guess this is my thanks for letting me have him.

[Note to Jinx]
[Okay, so Jinx doesn't actually get a note. Diana just drops an egg onto her stomach to wake her up.]

Probably back when you were short... er.

Couldn't you have picked something less... creepy?

[There's a soft noise and a foxy white head pokes itself out of Diana's sleeping bag.]

[badluckbabe]

I can't imagine WHY I caught that thing.

[Head snaps to the sound of cuteness and Jinx sighs.]

Looks like you made a new friend too.

[keep_surviving]

[Diana picked up the soft, white fox and strokes its head.

Strut ruffled his feathers jealously.]

Yeh, she seemed to really hit it off with Gaia when she was here.

[Diana goes quiet for a moment.]

[badluckbabe]

Gaia...

[Jinx frowns and looks at the nightstand. There are some pictures that she can thumb through prominently featuring Diana and a baby and that vulpix.]

She's really cute.

[keep_surviving]

Well, you know, how could she not?

[Diana tries to sound all confident and flash Jinx a smile but she's faltering.]

[badluckbabe]

Yeah...the odds were really stacked in her favor. She's gonna grow up to be a real knockout.

[Stepping gingerly over the pokemon on the floor she sits on Diana's bed with the pictures.]

God I looked ridiculous. I'd burn these pictures if Gaia wasn't so adorable.

[keep_surviving]

Yeh. [No. No, she wasn't.]

Yeh. She was something. [She grew alright. And she certainly was 'something'. But now...]

You look like a carnival prize.

[badluckbabe]

Aw come on...cheer up. We'll get you back to her someday.

Some people around here even said we'll be dropped back at the exact same time we left.

[Jinx has no idea how not good news that is for Diana.]

Right? God I didn't realize just how big my head was until I saw these pictures.

[keep_surviving]

[Diana sighs and covers her face with a groan.]

[badluckbabe]

That's the spirit.

[Jinx is just gonna sit here trying to be awkwardly comforting. At least the cave is nice and quiet and peaceful. Nothing to distract Diana from her feeling lousy.]

You can talk about it you know. I'm not gonna judge.

[keep_surviving]

No thanks. I'm good. Just tired.

[badluckbabe]

Yeah alright.

We'll just...hang out for awhile then. Get some more sleep and we'll get out of here in another couple hours.

[Because there's no way she's going to let you literally wallow in a cave of depression. In the meantime she rummages through her supplies.]

I'll get started on breakfast. Since I don't have my powers anymore I could probably make some eggs and toast. I think I still have some jerky left we could have breakfast sandwiches.

[keep_surviving]

[She manages to give Jinx a smirk.]

If your powers are gone it's gonna take it more than a couple of hours to get out of here.

[badluckbabe]

[She'll smirk right back.]

Yeah I guess so. I better break out the fruit too then. We'll need all our strength to get out of here.

[She'll just set a granola bar on Diana's sleeping bag]

[keep_surviving]

[Diana's going to immediately take that bar and start eating it.]
