((And just to kick things off, I'll go ahead and post.))

Groviglio slouched against one of the outside walls of the mansion, his arms crossed (inasmuch as a Tangrowth can slouch or cross its arms). Jeff had stayed in Avelorn after their training in the two towers - he had said something about "needing to stay to help set up," whatever that meant. Maza had stayed with him, but Jeff had sent the rest of the team home.

And so that left Groviglio at home with an assortment of schmucks, idiots, and at least one psychopath. He glanced around. Raini didn't seem to have followed him here, but he wasn't sure. After what Maza had pulled on her at the training session, he was pretty sure she was going to be on the warpath.

That led, in part, to his decision to visit the mansion. It had been some time since he last visited - crises kept popping up around every corner, after all - but it seemed relatively calm, at any rate. And free of murderous cats. That part was important.

As it happened, Groviglio was completely wrong. Raini had appeared at the Eevee House, and was currently sitting atop a rafter, it being anyone's guess how she got up there. From her vantage point, she could see out the wide bay window, and just barely make out her teammate leaning against a wall. Excellent.
