Kareena and Matthew returned to Billy's inn. They had already paid for rooms, and Kareena didn't feel like wasting funds. Even if they had more than they could reasonably spend, she like security of a very healthy bankroll.

They entered the inn and managed to get upstairs to their room without conversation with the multiple patrons that wanted to do things like buy them drinks, and,... other things. They just ignored them as much as they could, although Kareena had to push through the drunk Umbreon.

When Kareena and Matthew got up to their rooms, they dropped their stuff and Matthew spoke first.

Matthew: I was a little surprised when you actually shot that guy. That wrecked our chances at a low profile.

Kareena: That guy would have likely gotten out of control, and killed people, especially us as we were the closest to him.

Matthew: Yeah… And then the police showed up I thought we'd be stuck in a cell for at least a day.

Kareena: That did go over better than expected.

Matthew: And then the mon downstairs, I can't believe what they were trying to ask you when we got back.

Kareena: Drunk celebrating men.

Matthew: Remind me not to touch alcohol.

Kareena: I'll try to stop you from getting wasted, how about that?

Matthew: Yeah good enough.

*someone knocks on door*

Kareena: Yes?

Billy: *opens door and leans in* Uh, Kareena, the mon downstairs are berating me to give you drinks on them.

Kareena: Tell them that I'll take it in the morning because I want to sleep, and just pocket the cash to fix up the furniture downstairs.

Billy: You sure?

Kareena: Yes.

Billy: Ok. *Backs out and closes door.*

Kareena doesn't trust the other mon, or the lock. She and Matt move a few bit of furniture in front of the door to keep it closed through the night. It also cleared out the room so they could both sleep comfortably apart. One nice thing about inns: watches usually weren't necessary.

Kareena was with her father. The Jolteon was leading them through the dungeon, which had popped up the other day, and they needed to investigate. Kareena slinked along behind her father, on a lookout for anything dangerous, or less so. She just needed to get through this mission without accidentally stepping on an evolution stone and she could be a Galceon like she wanted, Alexander had found a nearby Icy rock she could use.

They entered a large room. They were halfway across when several apparitions appeared around them. The dungeon was fresh, and as such hadn't weakened with age; so this trap could prove especially dangerous. The adventurers sprung into action, firing weapons to fell the largest threats, including a Latios; and dropping their packs to fight easier.

The fight though quickly went downhill, unable to take the time to reload, the apparitions quickly surrounded the adventures, and had them outnumbered seven to one. Alexander loosed a thunderbolt at a Blastoise as they swarmed, and everything went completely to hell.

Kareena was aware of firing off attacks and stabbing a Weavile befor she was thrown against a wall. She blacked out for a second, when she came too, she quickly surveyed her surroundings. Her father was being overwhelmed by the ten remaining foes, and all of their useful stuff was out of her reach. Worse, a Sandslash was standing over her, clearly preparing to finish her off.

But Kareena DID see one item she could get to of use. A rock, about the size of her head, covered in moss. Kareena hesitated for a second, thinking about it, but this was life or death for her and her father. So she jumped for the stone.

When she touched the stone, she felt the power flow through her. Evolution stung a bit, but the power Kareena felt completely distracted her. With a battle cry, Kareena the leafeon blasted the Metagross off her Father with a Solar beam she'd charged with the power of her evolution. The two of them managed to beat off the attackers.

Alexander: Kareena, thanks but, you won't be able to be-

Kareena: I know father, but if I didn't act as I did we likely would have both died, and I wouldn't have become a Glaceon anyway. Besides, Leafeon isn't so bad! Might be more practical actually.

Alexander: Glad you're so positive about this.

They spend the next few minutes picking up their stuff and re-adjusting Kareena's pack, and they set off to vanquish the dungeon, for the people.

Kareena woke up, and wondered absently about all the recent flashback dreams. They were a bit unusually frequent lately, but not anything to worry about, she assumed. She heard a commotion outside the room, and the door looked like it had been attacked by something. She grabbed a sidearm and her knife and pushed aside the side table they'd used to block the door, and slipped out.

Billy was fighting that Umbreon from the previous night. Kareena calmly walked up behind him and clonked him on the back of the head. He dropped, out cold, and she helped Billy up.

Billy: Thanks Kareena. I caught that creep trying to bust down the door to your room and tried to kick him out. He didn't like that.

Kareena: Obviously. Give him the boot, and Matt and I'll be on our way within the hour.

Billy: You sure you don't want one of the drinks the patrons bought you?

Kareena: Maybe one for the road.

Kareena woke Matthew and they gathered their stuff and set out, Kareena refilled their canteens at Billy's well, and he gave her a small flask of his beer in thanks for the help. Kareena accepted it. It could come in handy. Or it might be something she'd drink at some point down the road on a whim.

I have a question for all of you, should I make a Character page between the Prologue and Ch1? It would add a bit of background to a few major characters.
