Eleventh Transmutation | [video] Home again, home again...?

[armoredsoul]

[Hello, Johto. Here's a face that hasn't been around for a while! Al frowns and scratches his neck, looking more than a little awkward.]

Um, I know it might not be the best time with the whole 'natural disasters everywhere' thing going on, but...I just wanted to let anyone who remembers me know I'm apparently back to stay? At least for a little while.

[A long, awkward pause, before Al chuckles nervously.]

So, uh, what'd I miss?

[Al waits a few moments longer before unplugging his ears, and Eddie trots forward with Cecil to sniff cautiously at the sleeping Pokemon.]

It really was. When it wasn't charging the cliff it was driving off any Pokemon that got close. I bet you anything it's got a nest up on that route. [He can't help a small sigh, but...well, hopefully the problem will be solved soon.] Do we need to get it onto your Altaria's back, or can she carry it on her own?

[Cecil looks at Mist. Mist looks at Cecil. They both turn to look at the sleeping Donphan.]

She can deal with both options, but we might need a rope or two. Either to tie it to her back, or to get a proper grip. Having it fall off in the middle of the trip is not something I wish to risk.

[Al frowns and thinks for a moment, then pulls off his backpack to start digging in it.]

I think I remember seeing some rope in here...hah!

[And out he pulls...an Escape Rope? It's...it's probably long enough...]

[action]

[paladinlost]

[Mist nods in approval. That should work! ...Unless it somehow activates while she's flying...

Cecil's thoughts are much the same, but it's not as if they have many options. Therefore, he refrains from mentioning the worst possible outcome.]

It'll do. Now, we only need to lift it slightly and slip the rope underneath its body...

[He and Rosie start the lifting, with minimal difficulty. Who would that have thought all those years of wearing heavy armor would serve for something like this?]

[action] just skipping a bit of the busywork with this one, lemme know if it needs an edit

[armoredsoul]

[Any port in a storm, right? Maybe if they had a grass-type with Vine Whip, but...]

Right!

[Al works quickly, getting the rope looped beneath, and then working with Cecil for what's needed, a makeshift harness to carry the sleeping Donphan up the ledge is quickly rigged together.]

...okay, looks like it'll hold.

[action] Looks good to me!

[paladinlost]

Of course it will. It has to. Mist, if you'd be so kind...?

[The bird nods, grabs the rope, and starts flying up. The Donphan swings in a manner that would surely be unpleasant if it was awake, but at least the harness works as intended.]
