Status Quo II [Treasure Search - Complete]

Nue. It was a completely, totally unheard-of place—hell this was Rachel’s first time to actually learn that such a place existed! Now, there was a theater circuit all the way out in this new area—and they were looking for a well-known troupe to actually revive the ring, since too much glitz, glamour (not to mention all the scandals left and right) had almost wrecked the region’s equivalent of “Hollywood” and had left it in pieces—therefore, the transferring of their own troupe all the way out here. Now, she knew that they had to make a “farewell show” for the crowd in Unova, but the preparations were still underway, so Rachel had decided to go ahead and poke around the place. Who knows if she’d find something here? She’d heard whisperings and rumors that this stretch of land that was known as the “Mega Ruins” was somewhat the rough equivalent of the Badlands in her mother’s home region, and that there were weirder things to be found in this place. “Well, I sure hope that I do manage to find something… lucky I have Sky with me…” she began, looking up at the series of ruins that seemed to stretch on for miles—was it the remains of some weird, ancient civilization? Were they just there by choice? Or were they placed there for a specific purpose in mind? In any case, she then quickly let out her avian companion, the better for him to see shining, sparkling things that she might miss as she ventured inside. As the Rufflet flapped his wings upon release from the red beam, she crouched down—as was her custom—and gave him a “good morning” feather-ruffling session. “Look at that place, Sky. We’re here to rip it—well, not really—to look around. They said those weird baubles we’ve been finding are also here, but who knows what horrors we’d find… geez, I really need to get you evolved so that I don’t feel so…helpless,” she mused to herself after giving the Rufflet its usual morning affections. “Shall we?” “Ruff, rufflet!!!” The avian had decided to take the lead this time; but instead of bolting fast and far ahead as he usually did, he began taking a few precautionary steps; before looking back and waiting for his caretaker to follow after him. This time, she had on a sturdy pair of boots, and was dressed much like a tourist would be—thick, heavy jeans and a light shirt, along with a pair of shades perched atop her purple hair. “Alright, alright, Sky. Calm your feathers. I’m coming,” she continued with a chuckle as she followed the Flying-type into the ruins that loomed before them. 2 / 4 for December. Ooh, scary ruins.

It was like a change had overcome the Rufflet—instead of taking the lead, he was actually waiting for Rachel to catch up with him! On her end, she could only chuckle at the little avian’s direction; because there must have been something that had triggered this new “way of thinking”… was it the various threats she’d shouted out at him in the Kalosian Badlands that made him clam up and behave all of a sudden? Who knows? She then kept up with the avian, as he began to pick his way through the rubble that littered the side of the ruins where they were going to be searching. Apparently, the Flying-type had caught sight of something glimmering in the dirt, and gave an abrupt squawking noise, before quickly scuttling off as fast as his stubby little legs could carry him. “Sky, what did we talk about…” she began, her hands on her hips as she struggled to keep up with the dashing avian—and very nearly lost her balance as her foot tripped over a concealed root, almost sending her sprawling to the floor! “Oy, got to be careful…” she groaned, barely missing the accident as she hopped over the root and followed the little Rufflet into a room not too far from the entrance / exit of the ruins where they’d begun exploring. She could only scratch and tilt her head in confusion as to why her Rufflet’s personality and energy levels were spiking and waning like the wiggly lines on a graph, or when a driver suddenly puts a burst of speed onto a vehicle then cuts it out in order to skid into a perfect turn. “That bird seriously needs to get his priorities fixed,” she muttered to herself as she finally managed to catch up to the squawking avian, who was now hopping her way, trying to catch her attention—and she caught sight of it right away, there was another weird thing in his beak! Crouching down and holding out her hand so that she could receive the item, the spit-soaked thing then rolled into her hands… and it was something that looked like it was part of a lady’s marble collection, because it was pink all over! “Reminds me of a strawberry chiffon cake… or strawberry sundaes… now I’m hungry…” she said, quickly clicking her tongue and giving the Rufflet a pet on the head with her other hand as she pocketed the pink marble. Ooohh, spaz. Getting this one!
