[Today, you are all treated to the sight of a very wet Armin. Which isn't very unusual, but what is unusual is that he is wet down to his toes and still in his regular clothes.

He is wringing out his shirt, pushing back his sopping hair, before he notices the broadcast is on (the signal isn't the best out here).]

Ah, there we go.

[Despite the aforementioned wetness, Armin seems really cheery. Excited even!]

Well, this tunnel is a bust. Nothing but water in here. I think a water main must have burst further up ahead.

How have the rest of you been faring? Any luck? I know the legendary seekers can be a bit... overly enthusiastic, but this time, it really did seem like the real deal. I receive their monthly newsletter than this picture wasn't nearly as blurry and grainy as the rest of them.

Also, has anyone been keeping track of which tunnels have been explored or not? I feel it wouldn't be very helpful if we all keep looking in the same tunnels. I could keep track of them all on a map if you can give me the coordinates of the ones you've looked through.

If it was just fur and a tusk, I'd say it was something like a Mamoswine. Some variant of one, anyway. Or some combination of two? That'd make sense.

[Fur and feather, tusk and feather... okay, maybe not that one.]

But the feather... yeah. I think you're right. Has anyone got any other theories?

1/2

[schachmeister]

Nothing really. We might need a lot more information before we can really start theorising.

2/2

[schachmeister]

[Though hold on. Wait just a minute.]

Wait, you said you found a feather?

... Shiro, did you go down the tunnels? While you are still injured?

[shiro2hero]

I didn't go far...

Exit was in sight the whole time. I had my whole team with me, plus Captain for light.

[So yes, yes he did.]

[schachmeister]

You could've asked me. I would've been happy to go with you.

[shiro2hero]

I'm really all right.

Nothing happened, I found a clue, even.

[schachmeister]

Shiro, you know that isn't a reassuring thing coming from you.

[the boy who cried wolf I'm fine!!]

[shiro2hero]

... Kuro, am I fine?

[He could ask just about any other pokemon of his, but he figures Kuro's opinion would hold the most weight.]

[The big Aggron leans into view, and sighs. But nods.]

[schachmeister]

... okay, fine. But only because Kuro said so.

[Kuro is a dependable soul.]

[shiro2hero]

I made sure to take him with me. I'm not just down here by myself.

[schachmeister]

You can't blame us for worrying though. You often... try to take on too much yourself.

[shiro2hero]

It's okay, though. I didn't hurt myself any more than I already was.

[Just kind of. Glossing over the Concerns there. Because he really has been taking more on lately. More than he should. Always more than he should. it's a convenient way not to think, isn't it?]

[schachmeister]

[It is a very maladjusted way not to think!!]

I'm glad for that. I'm also glad for the discovery you made, but really, Shiro, I think we all would rather see you unharmed even if it meant some things weren't discovered.

[shiro2hero]

[NAH ... It's fine!!]

Guess it's a lucky day then, huh? I'm not hurt at all.

[schachmeister]

More hurt.

[Correction, as Armin glances at Shiro's shoulder for a moment.]

[shiro2hero]

... Fine. More hurt.

[Armin give him a break here!! do not do that, armin]
