Escape.

[trustmods]

All things considered, everything has gone very well for you all, hasn't it? Twenty-two people died, but thirty people will leave this building. Congratulations, you all deserve it. Though with that said, you still need to find the way out. For those of you who explored the floors in the closed wing of the building during the final investigation, you might have noticed that there were two floors you didn't explore, below the one Sol and Weiss investigated. That might be a good place to start. Once more, for old time's sake. >Explore?

[...There wouldn't happen to be any, say.

Round items in there. Of the red and white variety.]

[trustmods]

[HMMMM THAT SURE DOES SOUND INTERESTING...

Oh look, there definitely are some red and white balls sitting on the table! Near all of the other unique weaponry.

Congrats, Blue. You've found your missing friends!]

[withabigsmile]

Blasty! Nido! Cleffy! Bull!

[She would let them all out right here and right now, but that might get a little too crowded.

But she will hold them close to her as she scoots her way out of the room. (No more Pokémon than usual were put in her bra in the making of this scene.)]

[oftheland]

[...he's taking it slow for a variety of reasons, so he notices Blue as he's walking by...]

...wait, that's where they're being kept, right?

[withabigsmile]

Yup! Your partners are waiting for you!

[GO GET YOUR FRIENDS BUDDY]

[oftheland]

Well, good. I was really hoping they'd be easy to find now...

[...TIME TO GINGERLY LOOK FOR HIS OWN SET OF RED AND WHITE ROUND THINGS...]

[trustmods]

[They're in room B with the weapons... and you'll find them near where Blue found hers!

Congrats, Giovanni, you've found your missing friends too!]

[oftheland]

[THANK GOD. ...though... there's only four of them, Crobat, Aggron, Nidoking, and Nidoqueen. Thinking about it... yeah, that makes sense. He'd feel even worse if his kid's bear was left in here for a month on top of everything else.]

...I'd like to leave you all out, but I'm concerned you'd break the foundations... so, just a little more time, alright?

[ninehundredlives]

...alright, really, do you need me to look at you? [He really does look like he's hurting] What on earth happened, anyway? I was - distracted.

[oftheland]

...really, I'll be fine. It's a little sore, I guess, but... well, I think Kimblee actually managed to hit Beedrill's Pokeball with that energy he was firing off, and it... exploded.

...Beedrill isn't in any danger, but he did kind of get flung right into my chest.

[ninehundredlives]

That's lucky, honestly. It could have all gone so much worse...

He's a lot tougher than I realized. [She is now impressed with that bee.]

[oftheland]

Pokemon usually are. You'd be surprised at some of the stuff they can survive... but then again, you could probably say the same thing about humans.

[ninehundredlives]

I suppose so. Look at all of us.

[oftheland]

Exactly. Even those of us who didn't ram a flaming sword through our captor's head are doing pretty good for ourselves.

[ninehundredlives]

[Susan smiles.]

Would that we could have all done that.

[oftheland]

I'm sad that I didn't really contribute much, but I tried and therefore no one can criticize me.

[ninehundredlives]

Of course not. You had to take care of Beedrill - he's the only living person the bastard managed to hit.

[Person? Giant bee thing? Eh, whatever.]

[oftheland]

Admittedly, that's the part I feel bad about. It's not just the fact that he got hurt... it's the fact that he was looking to get a stinger in that guy after he was in a vending machine for a month.

[ninehundredlives]

...there's still time.

[oftheland]

You're right. I'm sure Beedrill could stab his corpse a few times.

[ninehundredlives]

He may as well, if it'll make him feel better. It's not like it's in the best shape anyway. Or like anyone cares.

[It got face-stabbed and then gutted. It's sort of all over.]

[oftheland]

...well, when he's feeling up to it, I think I'll just let him go to town, then.
