Eros awoke to find pretty much every one of his friends passed out about the room. Like always, Sicily was a good five feet from him, although this time she seemed to be wearing some kind of special bag about her shoulders. She was passed out and snoring rather loudly, albeit it wasn't loud enough to be a nuisance. Manus was meditating or something, since he was once more the same Scyther from before, presumably since earlier this morning. Xerxes and Dusk cuddled like a couple of bitches, although Xerxes wasn't looking too good right now. Her breathing was rather raspy and she looked much more frail than before, but there was nothing Eros could do about it...

He decided to step out and look around, since the entire hollow was rather quiet, especially when compared to the previous night. Taking a few cautious steps outside of the room, Eros creaked open the door (which his companions, in regards to their leader's lesser height, left unlatched), stepping out gently into the main lobby, only finding a lone Bidoof going about its own business.

Curious and bored, Eros walked up to the creature and started with, "Hello."

The Bidoof, who was... I dunno, waiting or something? Sure, he was waiting. He said, "Uh, hello. Can I help you?"

"I'm Eros, and, uh... How do things work around here?"

"Oh, yeah. You're the new guy." The Bidoof arranged itself in a peculiar manner, almost appearing to be sitting now. "Well, every morning Manny comes and tells us what to do. Simple as that."

"Oh. Okay." Eros looked the Bidoof over a few times, almost as if something were to be familiar about him. "Hm..."

"Is something wrong?"

"Would you have happened to once been domesticated, by chance?"

"Oh." The Bidoof looked blank for a second, somewhat surprised at this. "Why, yes I have. It's kind of a long story, though."

"Pft." Like he knew. "And would you happen to have had a trainer by the name of Pepe?"

"Wait..." The Bidoof was clearly unsettled, but not exactly feeling exposed. "You're that Sandshrew that married that Flygon!"

"Oh, no, no..." Eros really didn't want to have to play this off. "I think you have the wrong Sandshrew..."

"No, I swears! That Flygon's Sicily, that princess lady! You disappeared off the face of the earth that day, but hey, you're back!"

"... Okay. Sure. That's it. Now, tell me, did you once-"

The Bidoof was hostile in the slightest, but in no way did he come off as offensive when he said, "Now, I ain't looking for no trouble, but you better tells me why you think you knows me, because that's mighty suspicious of you to know that."

"That's simple! I'm Pepe." The Bidoof shot Eros an odd glance, clearly not believing this statement.

"What? Pepe's a human. You aren't... Well... Human!"

"Well, you can believe whatever you want, Bidoofy." Eros winked and trotted off to his room again, giggling like a little girl until he happened to bump into Manny, who just seemed to have woken up. "Oh! Mr. Manny!"

Manny placed his hands on his hips and greeted, "Uh, good morning?" He looked up to Bidoof and then down to Eros. "I see you're making friends."

"Uh, yep! Nothing suspicious going on right now!"

"... Right." Manny looked around a few more times, visually upset at something. "Say, can you do me a favor?"

"Hm?"

"Can you wake everybody up? I'm just freaking tired of..." Manny started mumbling and walking back into what appeared to be his room, leaving Eros with that little task.
