[After two long years of searching the nation to no avail, much to the bewilderment of his fellow collectors, Edmond Flamberge had come home - home being the outskirts of Lavaridge Town in Hoenn. And, in a moment of nostalgia, he had decided to explore Mount Chimney (was that entrance still there?). His brown leather bag was almost bursting at the

Hey! You there?!

How in the heck did you get a hold of that thing you are waving around?

[Have a confused and irritated commander pointing and shouting at you from a bit of a distance.]

[eflamberge]

[... Ah, an actual member of Team Magma! In Admin uniform, no less... Edmond has probably heard of this man before. But, since Edmond's affiliation with Team Magma is not exactly public knowledge, Tabitha's rudeness doesn't faze him at all.]

It's mine, young man. It was issued to me. I am Edmond Flamberge, a fervent partisan of Team Magma.

Sorry for the late reply!

[flame_one]

[...A what?

He's not really sure he believes you.]

Never heard of you before, so you must not be too important. How come I've never seen you around..?

[eflamberge]

That would be because I'm not part of the Team proper. I merely make donations to your noble cause.

[Ah, the straightforward, down-to-earth type! ... Is this the kind of man Maxie likes?]

You're... Tabitha, correct?

[flame_one]

So.. donating gives you the right to wave one of those around? At least put the damn thing in your pocket or people will get the wrong idea.

[Still not sure about this one.. but he'll just be watching you for now.]

...Yeah.. wait... Who gave you that information?

[Not like it's really all that classified, but Tabitha didn't like the idea you might know too much about him.]

[eflamberge]

[You know what, Tabitha? Edmond is actually going to nod meekly and obey Tabitha's order. And poof, you can't see the Magma Emblem anymore. Happy now?]

The only one who's at liberty to do so without having to ask for anybody's permission.

[It's not too sibylline an answer, is it?]

[flame_one]

[Kind of.. vaguely surprised the guy listened to him, though if he was a sponsor maybe he was pretty weak willed. Ether way, he is rather pleased]

Then I'll have to check with him on that.... But for now, what exactly were you doing?

[It should dawn on him that this guy must be new to the island and all.]

[eflamberge]

I was on Jagged Pass, hence the Emblem. But this... this is not Jagged Pass, is it?

[flame_one]

What was your first clue?

[eflamberge]

[Edmond will... actually laugh at that, a little excitedly. He likes your sense of humor!]

I don't know you, but I'm very much relieved to see you here. Are there other members here?

[flame_one]

[Well this guy is just full of surprises. Where Tabitha might have expected resistance Edmond is actually being rather agreeable.

Tabitha arches his eyebrow slightly at Edmond's words.]

Yeah, the boss is here as well.... and then there is this other guy who looks a lot like Maxie too. He's kind of a nut-job so you might want to avoid him..

[eflamberge]

[Edmond furrows his brow at the news Tabitha has just given him. Also, the hand closer to his sword will be toying with the hilt a little.]

An imposter?! How dare he!

[flame_one]

[Shit! Was that a sword? Way to be observant Tabitha.]

He's... something alright. I wouldn't say he is an impostor...but uh... Hey wait you must be new right? Damn

[How is this just occurring to him?]

[eflamberge]

... As I said, I was on Jagged Pass up until a moment ago.

[You're... not exceptionally bright, are you? To Edmond, it's just so cute. <3 ]

[flame_one]

Yeah, yeah. I got that.

About that Maxie.. He's this um.. He's from some other universe or something. The boss explained it to me.

[Not really, nope. He has pretty good street smarts though. He's pretty good at getting himself out of situations, but some things don't click right away.]

[eflamberge]

So why isn't he to be trusted...?

[There's some genuine curiosity here - Edmond can be a bit of a derp.]
