(Wow, what a twist! This is going to be fun for sure!)
Meanwhile, on the beach just outside the Bealbeach Casino and Resort...
*Spirit and Bailey sit on a park bench, staking out the entrance to the casino... Dramsama is, by request, creating an illusion so that any passerby would see them to be nothing more than innocent Trainers with their partner Eevees... meanwhile, Dupli-Phantom stands outside, patiently waiting.*
I wonder where Windos could be? He should have been here by now, and I'm afraid of what might happen if the real Chief Phantom were to show up and see the Duplicat...?
Speaking of wondering where people are... shouldn't Xenoic have caught up with us by now? I hope everything is okay...
*Suddenly notices Dramsama go perfectly still, save for her tail feathers which are quivering just slightly.*
Dramsama: [There is something amiss about that Duplicat... I do not trust it.]
*Glances down at Dramsama* Yes, we're already well aware that you're not fooled by its Transformation. But you already said yourself that most people will fall for it.
Dramsama: *Glaring back disdainfully* [I have already stated my opinion on using a mere Duplicat to create this manner of trickery. Repeating it would be merely redundant, especially given your naive insistence on sticking with an inferior illusion. No, I briefly sensed something unusual about the Duplicat... but even now, I cannot read its mind enough to understand what it was. It is too good at hiding its thoughts from me; that is why I do not trust it.]
*Exchanges an uneasy look with Spirit, then turns to study the Dupli-Phantom* Well... it's too late now to try to form a new plan. Windos will be here any minute now. For the time being, we should probably stay the course until Windos shows up... but... we'll keep a close eye on Duplicat in the meantime. Let me know if you sense anything odd again.
.... I do wonder where Xenoic is...
Dramsama: *Looks up at the sky* [Something is coming.]
*A few seconds later, a soft sprinkling of rain starts to fall.*
Look at that... Phantom didn't tell me you were a meteorologist!
Dramsama: *Glares angrily at Bailey* [Your sarcastic humor does not amuse me, Ranger Bailey. Nevertheless, you and Ranger Spirit should probably find shelter quickly if you wish to remain dry... these few scattered rain drops are but a forewarning of a greater downpour... a Stormbringer approaches!]
(In case you were wondering, Phantom... Dramsama is nothing but polite and charming to you because you have bonded with her and she trusts you. She's behaving for me and Spirit... for the most part... mostly because she recognizes that other Rangers are under her Master's command, so it's something of a second-hand respect.)
