OP's suggestion. This is like the fourth time I've posted Daughter of the Sea, but it's my favorite cover of my favorite video game song.

A donations feature of some sort would be nice. Not sure if it should have rewards tied to it or not (maybe?), but the feature itself is certainly a good idea. Surely there are people within the site who don't mind parting with X amount of money to make the load a bit lighter on the upkeep costs for that month. I'd be one myself, but I haven't exactly been in a position to make those types of donations ^_^;

Hey guys! Checking in since my other games are slow: are you guys still accepting?

We are not, sorry for the inconvenience. Sonic and I are already reminding Hyde to fix the title accordingly.

"Let go of me ya damned mutt!"

Hibiki's response - while certainly vocal and stern - was completely unintelligible due to her currently having her mouth full of scumbag arm. Soon though, he got a good grip on her ears, and started pulling in an effort to force her to let go. Hibiki, in response, un-clamped her mouth from the thug's arm, put her mouth right up to the man's ear, and let loose with an ear-shattering shriek. That'd teach him. And for good effect, she followed it up with a passable - but still rather pitiful - headbutt to the back of his head, before letting go and shoving him in Ms. Hitotsume's direction. It was best to let the real heroes finish off the thugs. Or Yuuka and Itsuki, if they felt so inclined.

"And bats are not dogs!" she huffed, as if it was a follow-up to whatever she'd said earlier.

I definitely didn't want an excuse to post this gif after being real happy with how it came out

"We should go find the others that ran off."

"I'm here," Kokoro responeded, rounding the corner with Hackmon in tow. He stuck close behind her, not even greeting the other humans assembled in the hallway. Shaw seemed to be bringing Connor over to the cafeteria. Just as well. She'd never even finished eating! "And I'm going back to my breakfast now," she added. Chris still wasn't back though... it was a wee bit concerning. Maybe checking in on him wouldn't be the worst idea.

"I'll go back in a bit actually," she eventually decided aloud, turning and starting in the direction Chris had ran off, finding herself in the gym. There he was. With the little hedgehog. "What's the holdup in here?" she asked.

"Well. I'm Ross. The new kid...you already knew that...but nice to meet you." 

She seemed nice enough. And while she did look pretty normal, Aurora of all people knew that looks weren't everything. She might have had some amazing gadget hidden away somewhere, or some sort of powers like Aurora did. Or even both! After all, she herself looked like a pretty normal girl, but she had the most powerful Fragment she'd ever seen! So who knew what this Ross girl was packing?

"Sure. If I'm gong to live here, should probably get to know what's around here. So what is around here?"

Come to think of it, I haven't explored the city as much as I would like. Arena work was busy stuff and all. That didn't mean she had no clue what to do though! In fact, she distinctly remembered there being a nice little café somewhere not too terribly far away. Aurora pulled up her map of the city, looking for the spot. Right about... there! Pointing out the place on the map, she said "This here's a nice little place to grab a drink. And not too expensive either!" Pointing out other spots on the map, she continued "There's a photo studio here you'll probably wanna visit sometime, an arcade over here, and a park way over here if that's more your pace. Here in this building, we've got... lots of stuff. It would probably take a proper tour to cover everything here."

"Hello hello, welcome to the shop and all that. So, you wanna go diving do you? Not many people hit me up for that. Guess no one wants a Skrelp in their hair. Well, we do got some that we can rent out. You're gonna need a guide to help you out though. And it just so happens there's someone who can instruct you right here."

Is it you? I don't see anyone else.

"It's me. And it won't cost you much at all, unless you break something. So where you folks intended to explore?"

"The area near that big crane where all the Skrelp gather. We wanted to find out what was bringing them all together like that." And maybe catch one for herself. Would regular Poke Balls still function underwater? She wasn't sure. Going through water was something she had some experience with, but never under it. Nodding in Nomi's direction, Kanon added "We're all looking to explore down there except for her. How much would two sets of diving equipment and some floatie rings or something cost?" The lady had said it wasn't much as long as they didn't break anything, but how not-much it was still mattered.

Kanon pulled an empty Poke Ball out of her pocket. "Also, do these still work underwater?"

"Go ahead, eat whatever you may like! But please, try not to talk shop during of breakfast. There will be plenty of time afterwards for Signer things. Please, just enjoy your food and get to know each other,"

Natsumi had to admit, the array of food laid out for the signers was impressive. She'd even go so far as to call it luxurious, not that she'd say so out loud. While most others seemed content to wolf down their food like some sort of animals, or take way more food than necessary, Natsumi filled out her plate with a modest breakfast of eggs, milk, toast, and a banana. A balanced diet was a critical step toward a balanced life, after all! Among the others, there was one Signer in particular Natsumi wanted to know more about.

"I already introduced myself, but my name is Octavia. I also have a Mark of the Heart, and my dragon is Number 82: Heartlandraco! I'm from Hearthome City."

That one.

Octavia, from Hearthome City. To the best of her recollection, she was the only Signer from that place besides Natsumi herself. Octavia had also been the first of the two to request that they talk to Mr. Kaiba about the atrocious state of the city after this job had been taken care of. Getting to know her better was a personal goal at this point. And so, Natsumi scouted out the room for Octavia in particular, and upon finding her, made her way over. After a bite of toast, Natsumi started the conversation in a rather to-the-point fashion.

"Unless I've forgotten someone, we seem to be the only people from Hearthome within the project," she started. "Let's say we succeed at our job and are given sufficient funding to restore the city to a tolerable state. What would be the first thing you do to start it back on the proper path?"

Well, aside from the raging man at the top of the volcano, Nani liked to believe things had gone pretty well. Not ideal, but passable. Marie said it was time to get going - a sentiment Nani agreed all too well with - but as she descended down the volcano, all that good not-fighting was about to be thrown out the window.

"HEATRAN!!!"

Uh-oh. Don't do it, Randy.

"HEATRAN I'VE COME TO FIGHT!!"

Aaaand there he goes. Nani looked up at the climbing Incineroar with an emotion that she wasn't really sure what it was. This idiot was going to get her and Marie killed one day, assuming he didn't get himself killed first.

"Come on!"

"Nope. I'm gonna go check on the kids. One of us has to." With that, Nani continued further down the volcano. She did feel bad just leaving Randy and Marie to fight this guy, but that wasn't what they were here for in the first place anyway. Besides, like she'd said, somebody had to check in on the kids. Randy wasn't going to, Marie wasn't going to, and Keanu was still missing in action. That just left Nani. And so, down the Mimikyu scaled, eventually reaching the bottom where she was reunited with Trevor and the Larvitars.

"Alright, uh, with that detour out of the way... me and my friends up there were asked to, er... make sure you two are doing okay," Nani stated to the kids. Her voice was awkward and she looked like there was more she wanted to say, but wasn't able to piece together what. But at least she got the important stuff out, right? Right.

"Heeeelllllll yeeeeeeah! We showed them! Three cheers for us! Hip hip hooray! Come on guys cheer with me!"

"Hooray," chimed in Sammi's considerably less enthusiastic voice. Winning a simple scuffle where the enemy was outnumbered and outgunned didn't seem like much cause for celebration to her. However, a win was still a win, and now it was time to head back to base. Or ship, in this case. Sammi's mech flew along the length of the ship, turning as it neared the hangar and docking itself in a spot near the exit, as the robot girl stepped out and glanced around. That Julian boy was being taken to be looked at for injuries. Organics were so frail, she almost pitied them.

Almost.

She stood there, watching as the others docked and got out of their machines. There was one in particular she wanted to talk to...

Well, she did want to get into the fray, at least. But by the time she'd made it to the hangar, the door was shut and Vivian simply assumed the hangar doors for the mecha were also closed and locked, to keep any students from unexpectedly getting sucked out into the void of space and dying a horrible death. And so, rather than join the fight herself, Vivian was content to watch the others fight. What bandits wanted with a student ship was beyond her - maybe better mecha? - but at the end of the day, everyone was coming home. How wonderful!

...even if she would have preferred there not be a bandit attack in the first place.

Once the mecha were docked and the students started climbing out of them, Vivian took a look at the faces of the victors. Coming here was definitely the right idea! Among them, one girl had these big ears like some sort of canine. And she was so tiny! Unlike her mech; a big heavy-looking thing. It wasn't entirely unlike Vivian's own Bighand in that respect. Maybe they could get along? That would be nice. And so, Vivian made her way to the big red mech, waving at its pilot as she nimbly made her way down its limbs.

"Heeeey!" she called out. "Good job out there! I like your mech."

"Um, a - um - pleasure to meet you. Pyrrha. I'm Ryia Mariote, Chosen of Earth. I look forward to um, working alongside you." 

"Hello. I'm Lindow."

The other two had never introduced themselves. It didn't matter all that much to Pyrrha. What was more important to her right now was everyone's goal. Not the long-term one of dealing with demon gates - not yet anyway - but the more immediate one of restocking. It was time to get out of here. Pyrrha followed the other Chosen, leaving the Council with little more than a nod of acknowledgement in response to their goodbye.

Being outside felt like a load off her shoulders. Like meeting the others was some sort of test and she'd just been told she passed.

"None are exactly...like Haven. But the closest I guess would be Bresa or Qresa. To the south-east and south. They have the most...flat land. There's...a lot of differences still."

Pyrrha's ears perked up at the mention of Bresa. She didn't know much about Qresa, but Bresa was a different story. "They've got fish in Bresa, for one," Pyrrha commented, pulling back the string of her bow. There weren't any arrows ready to fire; she just wanted to make sure her bow was still in good shape. "...lots of fish. Among other things." If she was being totally honest though, part of her didn't want her first stop in this great adventure to be Bresa. She'd already lived there for most of her life, so coming all this way and becoming a Chosen just to go back felt... odd.

Pyrrha released the string of her bow, pointed at the back of Keres's head. "Qresa's just a bunch of farmers, the way I hear it."

Hi Yemachu!

My favorite Eminem song, though it's not like I listen to a lot of rap so my song choice in that genre is quite limited.

I particularly like the middle part of the song a lot, where he's talking about what it takes to make music and how one should seize the moment but also be aware of when that moment is over and accept it.

The bottom line was that Gavin had lots of tricks up his sleeve. That was what Aurora had gathered from their conversation, though over the course of getting back to the arena, the topic had changed more than a few times. By the time they were back, she wasn't really sure how they'd gotten to where they were in the conversation; only that they were there.

But that didn't matter anymore! There were things to do here right now. Like meet that new fighter! The message said that their name was Ross, right? Probably a guy. A tall one, with lots of muscle. That was the kind of person the name "Ross" made her think of. Thus, one could imagine Aurora's surprise when - upon getting to the same room where she'd met the other fighters when they first arrived - she was met with a totally-normal-looking girl. Something about her eyes was putting Aurora off, but she didn't pay it much mind.

"You must be Ross," Aurora smiled as she stepped closer to the current gathering of Ross, Cyanthrax, and Morgan. "I'm Aurora, a hero-in-training back home, but it's looking like Mauvache didn't approve of me trying to live up to that here. Nice to meet you!"

Everything was going swimmingly. That was never a word Sammi managed to fully wrap her head around, but she got the idea of it at least. Only one bandito remained, which other students were already taking the initiative of finishing off. That just left some of those turret orbs. With her mech now free from the banditos harpooning it down, Sammi started up the rotors once again, her mech taking off from its sad grounded position as her pulse cannons charged up another pair of shots. Before taking off to help finish the job, her mech turned in its place, cannons pointed at the orb (#8) that was firing at one of her fellow students.

And then she pulled the trigger, cannons aimed and ready. The recoil from the shot, combined with Sammi turning on the front thrusters of her mech for a short moment, did an excellent job of propelling her backwards, getting across the length of the ship much faster than she would have otherwise gone.

"Excellent questioning Kanon!"

"Er-uh... thanks." That kind of hit her out of left field. Was it really that good of a question? It seemed pretty obvious to her. The compliment did bring a smile to her face though. And that warm fuzzy feeling that she did something really well. Oswald followed up with his own suggestions. Toxic runoff that the Skrelp may have been feeding from. Pollution was its own, different concern to Kanon, but it was probably best to take things one issue at a time.

"Well we don't have much funding to really research that kind of thing. Specially with the League how it is these days. This may take more time but it's a lot cheaper than moving a whole mess of food. But if you really want to check it out you can go rent out some diving suits in the city. Just gotta wait a bit while we clear all this up first."

Diving suit rentals. Noted.

"I dun wanna swim. Too much...water. Too much movin'. Do we hafta?"

There was also that concern. "You don't have to," Kanon sighed. "I want to see what's down there though. And maybe catch one of the little guys for myself." Which meant she'd have to go to the rentals. Maybe she could find one of those floatie rings for Nomi or something if she was lucky enough. No time like now. And it would give the workers some time to clear up the area around the crane too.

"What about you?" she asked Oswald. "Ever been diving before?" Not that I have.
