Re: Island Life *Alex64, That Guy & xelda57* "Fine. Jacob, you don't have to attack." Jenny knocked on a door of a nearby house. "I'm sure you could hear what's going on," she said, "So please let me in. I just want to speak with you, I promise that's all."

Re: Island Life *Alex64, That Guy & xelda57* As there seemed to be with every home's inhabitant here, there was a pause of hesitation, then a Lilligant opened the door to let Jenny and Getxo in.

Re: Island Life *Alex64, That Guy & xelda57* "Thank you, m'am. Now, could you tell me please, exactly what has gone on between this village and the group outside? Try your best not to bias it in either direction." Jenny said.

Re: Island Life *Alex64, That Guy & xelda57* "Well...It...It was..." She still seemed hesitant and nervous. "The founders of this village...They found this glade and built houses here, but they didn't know other pokémon already lived here. A-and...well, the village started to grow..."
"So...trees...were...taken," Getxo chimed in. "Our...home...under...the...canopy... The...borders...were...pushed...further...and...further."
"L-like I said, the founders didn't know this place was already inhabited, so they cut down trees to make space for houses and streets, and they didn't know..."

Re: Island Life *Alex64, That Guy & xelda57* Jenny thought about this for a moment. "So, did the pokemon already living in the trees tell the pokemon building the village that they were living there? If so, what did the founders do then?"

Re: Island Life *Alex64, That Guy & xelda57* "It was too late," the Lilligant said. "By the time word got out that this land was already occupied, there was too much demand for houses, and the population was too big. The only viable option was to turn the former residents away, and the founders thought that when they went, they were gone for good."
"Until...recently... We...are...returning...to...reclaim...what...is...ours," Getxo said. "The...new...mayor...of...our...new...home... Of...the...shanty...town...we...were...forced...to...live...in... He...declared...that...we...should...fight...back... So...we...are."

Re: Island Life *Alex64, That Guy & xelda57* "Thank you," Jenny said. "I'll keep that in mind." She left the house and made sure Getxo did the same before coming back out into the open where everyone was waiting.
"Could you possibly get over your resentment? They made a mistake. Mistakes are part of being alive. You could all live together here. Or, if you'd rather continue to live in the trees, you could work out a treaty of sorts that divided the forest so that there was enough space for both populations in the places they want to be." She suggested.

Re: Island Life *Alex64, That Guy & xelda57* "How adorable," the Gallade said, his arms still folded. "You really want to play peacekeeper, don't you? Well, the damage has been done. Agreeable as a treaty sounds, what is our recompense?"
"Let...them..." Getxo said, speaking somewhat out of turn until its intentions became clear. "As...compensation...take...more...children... They...shall...sacrifice...for...their...sins."

Re: Island Life *Alex64, That Guy & xelda57* Jenny's eyes widened in horror. "You'd really take innocent lives for something that happened that long ago? It wasn't even these pokemon!! It was the founders, and they're gone now! Have you never made a mistake before? Have you never needed forgiveness?"

Re: Island Life *Alex64, That Guy & xelda57* "The founders are gone now, are they?" The Gallade smiled with some kind of sick slyness, bluntly ignoring her rhetorical questions. "Tell me, when was this village created?"

Re: Island Life *Alex64, That Guy & xelda57* "It can't have been that recently- there's no way so many houses could be built in such a short time...!"

Re: Island Life *Alex64, That Guy & xelda57* "Many months do not a complete lifespan make, my dear. Recent or not, our eviction is still held quite firmly in living memory. However!" He paused dramatically. "Negotiating like this is far more hassle than it's worth. We already have the child we came for even before this visit, and I should suspect any remaining loose ends should be tied up nicely by now." He turned.
"We...are...leaving?" Getxo asked him.
"For now. This is not a retreat; this is time management." With that, he strode off, Getxo hesitating before following, leaving their Bisharp colleague to decide how he, personally, would take the Gallade's decision.

Re: Island Life *Alex64, That Guy & xelda57* "…My name's Gavin," the shiny Bisharp said to the four Pokémon, folding his arms. "Although I don't personally agree with their decisions, as a member of their group, I have no choice in the matter. …But I have the feeling we'll be seeing you again." He looked to Roy. "Especially you… missy." With that, he turned and followed after his comrades.
Two expressions graced Roy's face at Gavin's comment; surprise, then anger.
From one of my many conversations with That Guy:
"OOOOHHHHHHHH MARIE HAD A LITTLE LAMB—*ding* Good morning!"
"…DAFFAQ?"
Re: Island Life *Alex64, That Guy & xelda57* "...Wait, so what just happened?" Jacob asked, after his confusion delayed him a moment. "They're just...going?"
