Exploration: Yellow (Siffrinsquest)

[loopsiedaisy]

[The breeze has been blowing from the direction that Mightyena picked for them, carrying a wet, cool smell. For once Siffrin has had a modicum of foresight: they're trotting toward the meeting spot at the edge of the Outpost with an extra hat in their mouth.]

[It's not just foresight, admittedly! They... keep getting the feeling that they've upset Stardust, somehow. He's been nothing but friendly, if a little jumpy, but if they pay attention to the the way he smiles at Siffrin it still looks - strained, they guess? It's definitely their fault: Stardust was clearly let down by not finding any of their friends on the beach, and Siffrin shouldn't have even brought it up!! Or maybe it's the fact that they keep getting an uneasy feeling around him, even though he's done literally nothing wrong, and it's showing on their face. Or maybe it's something else they haven't even realized!]

[But! Whatever it is they messed up! They're going to put in an effort to make up for it by being extra helpful. They really don't want this to turn into another awkward Flowey situation.]

[They give Stardust a greeting when they see him, muffled through the fabric, then drop the new headgear in front of the Meowth's feet.]

It smells like it's going to storm. So I thought you might want this...? [Siffrin nudges it forward with one paw. They weren't going to use it anyway, not now that they've got their hat from Shoka.]

[And there's a reason besides just plain old comfort:] The rain gets weird, here, sometimes, so we should try not to get too wet.

Home On Arrange (Shoka)

[loopsiedaisy]

[Around them are a wide array of picnic benches, cots, and tables, all in various stages of construction. (Or "construction", in a few cases.) There's even more entirely disconnected boards lying around on the grass, and they keep losing and then re-discovering nails.]

[Are the two of them using Shoka's tail as a hammer? Maybe.]

[Miraculously, both have refrained from making a "nailing it" pun... so far. It's only a matter of time.]

[But for now, Siffrin drags over the next giant board, sliding it over the grass. This one's particularly oddly shaped - when they drop it next to Shoka, they take a moment to inspect it.]

So... bunk bed, drying rack, or torture device?

Home On Arrange (Archnemon)

[loopsiedaisy]

[Today at the Outpost-in-progress, Siffrin and Archnemon have been assigned to a giant wagon.]

[...fortunately, they aren't expected to pull it. Instead they're supposed to perch atop it and hand out tools as requested!]

[Rhydon happens to be the first "customer" of their shift, lumbering up placidly and asking for something to sharpen his drill-horn on. It does, indeed, look rather worn down - the end is dull enough to almost be round.]

[Oh!] I saw a file earlier, in the back!

[When Rhydon nods, Siffrin bounces off to dig around in a pile of miscellaneous objects. The last shift left the wagon pretty disorganized.]

[In the meantime, Rhydon peers at Siffrin's giant hat, and then at Archnemon. He comments companionably:] So, are the pointed hats a new Cheri Berry uniform?

Cheri Berry Front Desk (Reuben)

[loopsiedaisy]

[Siffrin didn't intend to reach the front desk at the same time as anyone else, but here they are! And here Reuben is, on the side with their bad eye! They very nearly bump into him before they notice - then they jump back on reflex, giving Reuben his personal space. Or maybe reclaiming their own.]

[Either way, the mild commotion attracts the attention of the Pokemon that's in charge of store room unlocking duty today. Pidgeot swivels her head, inspecting them both.]

[She definitely seems to recognize Reuben, but he's also the newbie. So it's Siffrin she ends up giving a very severe look.] If you're here to have him make you a sandwich too, you should know we're almost out of bread.

[Siffrin swivels their ear back, baffled.] Um??
