Chapter 18; Filtered Text/Filtered Video;

[Filtered to the Violetstuck Crew, Kanaya, Nepeta and Death the Kid.]

Good day everyone. As many of you, if not all, should know by now, we are hoping to depart from Violet very soon. The moment Kanaya, Nepeta and Death the Kid all arrive, in fact.

As such, there are quite a few things that need to be straightened out to help ensure we're able to leave on such short notice, and will be prepared for the travel ahead. I have questions I am expecting each of you to answer, preferably in a filtered response to avoid any disagreements or fighting.

My first question pertains to how much money each of you has. There is a list of supplies everyone will need to acquire, and we will need to know who cannot afford it, so that they can be assisted in obtaining them or possibly set up for sharing some of the less personal supplies with another group member.

The next - and this is why I would like your replies to be filtered - is whom each person would prefer to and not to travel with. I already have an idea on a few pairs that I will be avoiding, but a personal preference from each is also desired. Everyone will be traveling in pairs so that everyone will have someone keeping an eye on them. This is to help lessen the chance of members getting separated from the group and lost, particularly within Union Cave.

I'd also like to know the levels of everyone's Pokemon. Because we will have members with substantially weaker Pokemon who will likely struggle in battles on their own, I am hoping to balance it out enough so that they will not need to worry and will have a stronger trainer nearby to help in case they do get attacked or challenged.

If anyone is good with navigation and directions, or fishing, please let me know that as well. Soul will also be teaching various willing members how to fish, so we'll be able to catch food while we're out. If you're willing to learn, it would be much appreciated.

Finally, here is a list of supplies each and everyone one of you will need. It is not a large list by any means, but an important one.

A thermos and canteen, a warm coat, a pair of gloves, food and first aid for your Pokemon. Since the food we'll be purchasing to take will be of the dry variety - meaning rice and pasta and such - you are encouraged to look into sauces which might help with flavor. As mentioned previously, fish will also be caught for food, so keep that in mind as well.

There are various other supplies for the group that will be needed, so if anyone is able to and willing to help afford them, do let me know. The total cost would be split equally amongst those contributing, so as not to take more of what you've earned than needed.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask them of me or Soul. If anyone is still wishing to challenge the gym, I would do so now.


[Filtered to Eridan]

You will refrain from purchasing any snacks. Period. When I give you the ability to look for some form of topping for your food, I am speaking of one or two bottles. You are not spending all of your money on cheese puffs and soda this time.

[Filtered to Kisa]

[[Now she switches to video, in which a quite happy looking Shinx is the first thing you'll be greeted with Kisa, followed by a pink tongue against the camera.]]

He hatched a few days prior, however I have only recently found time to sit down with him like this. He is a bundle of energy, and is constantly going. His name is Loke.

Eridan, I don't want to argue about thi...

[[dsfpasdf oh god he's falling. And he's not catching himself and hitting the flo--oh man.]]

...Eridan?

[[Okay, you just...lay there like that Eridan. Rose is going to dial Soul now. And hope he picks up. Thankfully not as panicked as she was with Dave, but man.

This better not become a thing.]]

[Crona's not sure who you are Rose, but the message was filtered to him as well so it would be rude not to say something. Plus you mentioned Kid and Soul so it can't be a mistake.]

Uhm...I d-don't think we've met b-before but...y-you know Soul s-so...um...hi? I'm C-Crona.

As f-for the questions...I have about...t-two thousand..um...dollars? Wh-Whatever this is. The only p-people I know are Maka, Soul, and K-Kid so...I g-guess I'd like to travel w-with one of them. Oh, and K-Karkat, if he's a f-friend of yours who's in this t-travel party as w-well. I'm...r-really not good with d-directions and I'd probably be t-terrible at fishing. And Twinkle is...he's my only p-pokémon. [He points to the Cleffa perched on his shoulder who gives a happy little wave at being introduced.] He's l-level fifteen.

[[Have a surprisingly calm, yet still mildly fidgety Rose.]]

Currently, not Eridan. He's laying on the floor of his hotel. I am assuming he's fallen unconscious, if not before then he most certainly has thanks to the fall he took.

You should likely check on him.

That would be wonderful if you would, Scratch. I am sure we could use all the assistance we can receive. And I will keep her in mind.

Thank you.

I will try, but...you may have to, Soul. I personally do not know of anyone physically strong, myself...at least none more so than the others, save for perhaps Doc Scratch by default of his being older...

Dude, I've seen Scratch. Maka could send the guy out a window if she wanted to, I bet.

[He thinks highly of his Meister's abilities okok]

But yeah... I don't mind. You've... heard, right? About his future?

[See this face? This face says I DON'T WANT TO BELIEVE MY BB BRO IS EBIL ;A;]

[[Well Crona, you're being greeted with a warm smile. Rose does not wish to scare you! ...any further than you are apparently already scared, anyway.]]

It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Crona. I was beginning to wonder when I would finally be given the chance.

Karkat is indeed a friend, and I will keep them in mind.

And okay. Thank you Crona.

...I've heard very little about Eridan, personally. I haven't cared much to learn.

Why does this matter, however?

... I kinda told Kanaya I wouldn't tell anyone.

I just... you never know.
... People can snap.

[hey ho have an example in front of you, Rose.]

If you need any assistance, let me know.

[[Facepalm.]]

And please don't suggest such a thing. I would really prefer people not to pass out on me like this.

[text] hur, right after I posted that comment I got her badge OK'd :3b !

... Sarcasm. I can be sarcastic sometimes.

[shrug]

I dunno if I'm gonna need assistance, but you might wanna come along.
I'm gonna go check now; just... meet me by his door or something if you do come.

Yes it is...uhm...wh-who are you?

Hello again, Hiiru. [[A little wave to the Butterfree!]]

And yes, lightweight cookware. Something suitable for boiling pasta and rice, as well as frying fish. Extra blankets, a few compasses, and two lanterns. We need enough dry food to last 18 people at least two weeks, I'm guessing. Possibly longer as well, but I hope not.

Containers to store food in, as well as to eat out of, and a set of silverware for each member. The less disposable items we waste money on, the better.

A few wash bins, now that I think of it, would likely be good to bring. And first-aid to cover the group. We'll also need a few fishing poles as well, though I'm not sure as to how many yet.
