A scream.

A flash of white.

Her head pounding, Envy clutches it as her mind shows her a snapshot at an unknown point in time.

"Hearts sire, this attack took out nearly all personnel! What should we do with it?"

"WE RESTRAINED IT. YE TAKE IT BACK TO ITS ROOM AND KEEP MONITORING IT"

"B-But we can't let this many casualties pile up! Shouldn't we... cut the other one out?"

"NONSENSE. THAT WILL FER SURE KILL IT. WE CAN'T LET RESEARCH LIKE THIS GO TO WASTE"

"R AIN'T GONNA DEVELOP BY ITSELF"

Envy staggers back, her mind scrambling to process that disturbing vision she saw after making contact with the oblivious Espurr.

ENVY: whu ENVY: what the hell was that ENVY: what the hell are you?! NOVA: ?

The Nidoran quickly pulls out her Nexus gadget and tries to scan Nova, more nervous than she's ever been before.

Ruby clenches her fists, getting more upset by the minute.

RUBY: nobody gets to decide which pokemon are "real" or "fake", much less a... bully like you...! ENVY: cant even call me something harsher than that had to go soft last second ENVY: hell are you even capable of throwing a punch? RUBY: i... The ladybug Pokemon's arms go limp, her face showing defeat. She sighs. ENVY: thought so ENVY: us pokemon are inclined to battle by nature, someone with a weak will like you is not gonna go far out there ENVY: that's why i always have to do this business myself RUBY: that's... not true...

Not feeling like arguing further, Envy slashes a card into her D-Nexus and the Ledyba promptly falls asleep.

ENVY: shush now go to bed ENVY: you look cuter sleeping OUKA: Hey, what the hell?? First you disrespect my friend and then you use a Slumber Card on her?! ENVY: yeah what about it? just doing all of you a favor ENVY: now pick her up and you three can go back to your homes and get all cozy. i got things to do OUKA: I have that kind of attitude!! I'll make you grow out of it, that's a promise, Envy!! ENVY: say what you w-- The mean girl's eyes widen once she finishes processing Ouka's words. ENVY: wait how in the fresh hell do you know my name NOVA: Is She A Friend OUKA: Yeah!! ENVY: shut it no i'm not OUKA: I remembered just now... I used to see you all the time when we were younger!! We drifted off, true, but... ENVY: wh

OUKA: We saw each other every time my dad brought me over to your mom's café!! We played a ton!! Don't you remember?? ENVY: .... As Ouka recounts her memories, these same memories flood back to Envy's mind.

OUKA: She looks disgusted!! The Nidoran shakes off her momentary shock before getting serious again, pointing a claw at Ouka. ENVY: tch, so we did ENVY: but that just goes to show the difference between us ENVY: uuhh ENVY: doka? rose? OUKA: It's Ouka, Ouka Yotsuba!!!!!!! ENVY: right. you're content with being a daydreamer who yaps about friendship while i actually get shit done and save people from wild ones OUKA: These "Wild Ones" are people, too!! You don't know what THEY went or are going through, and even if we gotta be a little rough with them at first... it's always possible to work things out without using lethal force!!

OUKA: And if that's how it's going to be... I'll have to do the same with you, too!! Nova nods, willing to always back up Ouka. ENVY: hah, you're going to fight me in the end? ENVY: fine ENVY: show me if you really are worthy of respect after all, yotsuba

next update is gonna run a little late again, had to finish the next animation. In the meantime, here's some humanized team light fang art I somehow forgot to post

[pmdnightfall]

RUBY: here, stun seed!

RUBY: ouka, nova, go ahead and get the golden ball! i'll take it from here. OUKA: Gotcha!! Nova nods as the two of them approach the gold nugget, keeping it safe from the phantom Pokemon.

RUBY: alright buddy, there's no need for so much violence. we just want to help! MURAMASK: Liaagh... HONK! RUBY: i understand you're in pain, but we'll help you get better! you just have to calm down, and we'll escort you to capim. you just need to trust--

Ruby's eyes widen as she witnesses the Muramask getting pelted by poisonous daggers.

MURAMASK: HOOAAAAaaargh...! RUBY: huh?! ENVY: weak

As the waterfowl Pokemon falls, the culrprit shows herself.

ENVY: all four of you were as wimpy as i expected ENVY: don't know why i got my hopes up RUBY: what the h... what was that for?! they were subdued! ENVY: as far as you knew, glasses ENVY: you get a rampaging wild one in your face and the first thing you do is try and giving it the heart of the cards speech? ENVY: that's why you're weak, like that feral lying at our feet

Ruby grits her teeth, the disrespect getting to her nerves. Ouka and Nova approach the scene right after, the treasure fully secured.

OUKA: Hey, who's this?? RUBY: someone who i'd rather not have here right now! A fade of a smirk appears in Envy's face. ENVY: oh is that the slightest hint of anger i feel ENVY: where was that intensity before when it mattered? OUKA: This girl is rude as hell!! Ruby, don't let her get to you!! Nova lets out a growl. Clearly the Nidoran wasn't giving them good vibes, either.

ENVY: so the rest of the peanut gallery is chiming in too ENVY: you should be more grateful that i even decided to swoop in and do the job for yourselves ENVY: i'm doing it for free you know... ENVY: besides all that sweet, sweet experience RUBY: you didn't do jack squat! all your sadistic ass did was put down a faller that we already had under control! we could have helped them!! Ruby clenches her fists, more frustrated than usual but clearly trying to control herself. Similarly, the Nidoran frowns as her stoic attitude begins to crack under the Ledyba's criticism. ENVY: listen here straw hat you almost got you and your friends' heads lopped off just a few minutes ago ENVY: these weird fake pokemon just pop out of nowhere and start causing destruction and shit completely unprompted ENVY: and your first instinct is "oh i can fix them" ENVY: this whole pacifism babble is gonna get you seriously hurt sooner than later when these ferals keep attacking

Is Ouka strong or not? Can she use her poison sting to inject venom from her tail to fight enemy?

she can but she finds it weird so she just slaps people with her tail instead

[pmdnightfall]

Envy, still witnessing the conflict from a comfortable spot, tries to scan the new Pokemon with her D-Nexus.

ENVY: no info huh ENVY: i wonder ENVY: how will these three fare?

As she grins, the combatants in the distance waste no time in charging towards the Muramask.

OUKA: Come on!! NOVA: Grr! RUBY: wait, you two, watch ou--

The duo just barely manage to dodge the Wild Goose Pokemon's Air Slash and avoid getting cleaved in half.

MURAMASK: LIGGAAAAGH! OUKA: Eep

The surrounding stones and foliage aren't so lucky, something Ouka is not happy to find out.

OUKA: GEEZ!!

OUKA: I didn't sign up for this!! RUBY: i think you very much did... Ruby fiddles with her hat, thinking. RUBY: alright, find some way to distract them! OUKA: U-Uh, sure!! NOVA: Danger!

Rapidly, the wild Pokemon jumps to strike with their sharpened spring onion...

...Which Nova stops with a Light Screen just in time.

OUKA: Wow, that's really cool!! RUBY: yes, now's my chance!

A familiar Nidoran looks on from the distance, quietly smiling to herself.

ENVY: huh ENVY: now this i want to see

Briefly enveloped in a light like they so desired, the Farfetch'd evolves into what would be its next form.

MURAMASK: LIIIIIGHT!

The gang looks in a mix of confusion and awe.

RUBY: but that shouldn't be... RUBY: ...hm. i guess i should have expected this to happen... OUKA: Wait, you know something?? How can a Farfetch'd evolve like that??

RUBY: we've been finding a number of fallers that don't seem to belong to any familiar species... RUBY: i wonder if whatever is the cause of their condition is causing an unnatural evolution? or maybe... RUBY: maybe, wherever they come from... this is just something that occurs naturally? OUKA: Damn it, we can't stay put thinking like this, that guy is glaring right at us!! OUKA: Let's go, Nova!! We'll fight!! NOVA: Ok

<- First | Prev | Next ->

[pmdnightfall]

Nova leaps at the faller Farfetch'd without hesitation, clashing with them as Ruby gives Ouka an Oran Berry to munch on from the sidelines.

RUBY: you good? OUKA: Yeah... Don't worry!! RUBY: nova's really going at it... i didn't expect them to be able to fight like that.

FARFETCH'D: LIIIIIIIGHT!! NOVA: Hngh!

After swiftly dodging a strike from the wild Pokemon, Nova counterattacks with Confusion, launching a bright beam of light directly into the Farfetch'd.

FARFETCH'D: QUAAAWK!! Ouka, having recovered from the surprise attack, excitedly pumps her claws up in the air. OUKA: Yeah!! Nice one, Nova!! RUBY: h-hey, don't be so rough with the faller, now...!

The Wild Duck Pokemon kneels on the ground as the dust clears, weakened. They, however, slowly get back up as their body starts glowing...

FARFETCH'D: Light... LIGHT...!

FARFETCH'D: QUAAAAAWK! FARFETCH'D, EVOLVE!! OUKA: What??

<- First | Prev | Next ->

[pmdnightfall]

The faller, having taken a liking to the golden ball, stares down the heroes menacingly. Ouka looks on, dumbfounded.

RUBY: it seems so... this is the faller, ouka. we have to be careful... OUKA: ...This Farfetch'd? That's it? RUBY: huh? The Gligar girl tries to stifle a laugh, but is unable to. OUKA: Wehihihi!! They look so inoffensive, I thought we'd have to fight some really scary opponent, but I guess we got lucky!! RUBY: hey now, that's just rude, ouka. Ouka shrugs. OUKA: What? I don't want to make fun of them or anything, I just expected mo--

Without wasting a second, the Farfetch'd goes on the offensive, striking Ouka with their leek.

FARFETFCH'D: QUACK!! OUKA: BWOOOFH

As she slides over on the ground, both of her friends look at her with varying levels of surprise.

NOVA: Ouka! RUBY: i told you. OUKA: It's all a learning experience...

Taking exception to the attack on their best friend, the Espurr bares their sharp claws.

NOVA: Do Not Hurt Ouka!! FARFETCH'D: LIIIGHT! QUACK!!

<- First | Prev | Next ->

[pmdnightfall]

OUKA: See the nugget anywhere, Ruby?? I haven't seen anything... Or anyone, for that matter. RUBY: nothing. let me get a second pass... OUKA: What about you, Nova?? Do you sense anything?? NOVA: The Sky Is Nice OUKA: Glad to hear it, friend!! RUBY: wait, ouka, i think i just saw it in that clearing over there! OUKA: Nice, let's go!!

As Ruby flies towards her finding, Ouka and Nova follow closely, wading through the shrubbery until they confirm Ruby's sighting.

NOVA: Shiny... OUKA: YES!! We found it!! Way to go Ruby, I knew you'd be essential to the team!! Ruby twirls one of her antennae bashfully. RUBY: hehe, thank you... but i can't shake the feeling this seems very... deliberately placed. OUKA: Huh? What do you mean?? RUBY: i'm not sure how to explain it, but it being placed like that... doesn't give me the feeling of something that was accidentally dropped. The Ledyba shakes her head. RUBY: ...maybe i'm just being paranoid.

Quack.

NOVA: !

Nova's ears perk up at the distant sound of quacking, something the other two Pokemon present don't seem to pick up on.

OUKA: Eh, whatever!! We'll bring this back to its rightful owner, and then we'll be able to say we completed our first mission!! NOVA: Wait Ouka NOVA: I Sense Someone NOVA: Very Bad Vibes RUBY: you wouldn't mean...?

Quack.

The noise grows louder, enough for all present to notice it.

OUKA: ...Do you hear that?? RUBY: yeah. watch out, it could be the faller... and they aren't usually very happy at first... A small growl escapes Nova's mouth, the tension getting to them.

Quack.

Quack.

FARFETCH'D: Quack.

The enemy appears from the bushes.

Not long after, the not-yet-official Team Light Fang find themselves in Drenched Bluff, looking for the Rellor's precious treasure.

OUKA: This is it, right?? Ouka turns to Ruby, who is examining her map with her upper pair of arms as she crosses her lower arms, thoughtful. RUBY: yeah, we should be at the place. all we gotta do now is find that golden orb. OUKA: Man, can't wait to get some D-Nexus gadgets, we won't have to rely on these maps anymore!! RUBY: there's still value in these, you know. OUKA: Okay but the D-Nexus are cooler they're all shiny and stuff!! As the two friends playfully argue, Nova silently scans their surroundings, their folded ears twitching occasionally. NOVA: There Are Two Pokemon There NOVA: They Give Me Bad Vibes OUKA: Huh?? Oh, damn it, not again!!

SHELLOS: 'sup? glubglub. IGGLYBUFF: YO WHAT'S YA DOING HERE HOYOYOYO While Ouka pouts in frustration at seeing more ridiculous Skull Grunts, Ruby just sighs. RUBY: team skull i assume? i could ask you toadies the same question. SHELLOS: chill out now, dudes. we don't want trouble... SHELLOS: at least now. glubglub. IGGLYBUFF: WE WANTED TO GET SOME SWEET LOOT BUT THERE'S A WILD ONE LURKING NEAR HERE AND WE GOT OUR ASS HANDED TO US HOYOYOYO Both Ruby and Ouka perk up at the mention of a Wild One, for different reasons. RUBY: huh... so there was a faller. OUKA: Wehihihi, serves you right!! We'll just go ahead and cruise right through whoever it may be!! SHELLOS: we just wanted to give a warning to travelers while we rested up, ya know? if you really want to try your luck, we won't stop you. SHELLOS: but don't come crying later. glubglub.

The chiropteran huffs before walking past the two grunts, with her two companions following behind.

OUKA: Pff... I don't cry as much as you Skulls do. RUBY: (that's debatable...) OUKA: This is our first mission and there's nothing that's going to stand in our way!! NOVA: I Thought We Were Not An Official Team Yet OUKA: Don't worry about it!!

Team Light Fang continues deeper into the rocky stretch, disappearing from Team Skull's vision in the horizon.

IGGLYBUFF: THEY'RE DOOMED HOYOYOYO

[pmdnightfall]

The three Pokemon exit the building, the sun still freshly shining outside.

OUKA: So I ended up going with "Light Fang", and that's that!! I can't wait to get a response back from HAPPI. OUKA: Hopefully with an Exploration Kit included, heheh. RUBY: i see. i was almost inclined to think nova was a faller, but they don't look like one... NOVA: Faller? RUBY: mysterious, frenzied pokemon that seemingly appear out of nowhere... RUBY: a whole lotta mons call them "wild ones", but i don't like that name. OUKA: Why not?? I think it sounds badass!! RUBY: that's not the point!

The gang continues conversing as they go down the towering staircase leading from the hill where the Treasure Academy resides to the crossroads near the town.

RUBY: "wild ones" implies they're nothing more than feral beasts, or some kind of scary creature... but they're just pokemon, like you and me. Ruby closes her eyes, deep in thought. RUBY: they're just suffering and being driven mad by... something, we're still not sure of what, but it's probably related to their weird growths... OUKA: You mean they're not just mindless feral Pokemon?? RUBY: no! you know my grandpa and i run a makeshift shelter for fallers back at capim town, most of them have calmed down by now and we're trying to ensure they recover from whatever is wrong... RUBY: i should take you there sometime, we were just taking care of a particularly special one. OUKA: Oh!! That sounds great!! OUKA: Before I forget to, I wanted to ask you... Ruby!! Do you wanna join Team Light Fang?! RUBY: w-what? i mean, i'd love to join you two, but i don't know how much i'd be able to help you, i'm way too busy helping out pops... OUKA: It's alright, you don't have to go with us all the time!! You can be part of the team... in spirit...!! Ouka draws out that last word as she makes puppy dog eyes at Ruby. RUBY: ...alright, i guess there's no harm in trying-- OUKA: YESS!! I knew I could count on you, Ruby!! Welcome to the team!! The Ledyba lets out a rather awkward chuckle as her excitable friend holds two of her hands, gleefully looking at her while Nova shows the faintest of smiles beside her. RUBY: ha, i guess you're always gonna be ouka. RUBY: shouldn't you wait until you're... we're officially recognized as an exploration team, though? OUKA: Pff, whoo cares!! Nothing's stopping us from doing some prep work!! In fact, how about we do some missions?? Like, uh...

Ouka points way too enthusiastically at a rather depressed Rellor.

OUKA: That guy! He seems upset, we can probably do something for him!! RUBY: are you really going to-- OUKA: Hey, mister!! What's going on?? RUBY: um, well, okay...

RELLOR: Hm? What's your problem? I'm not in the mood to deal with some kids! The Rellor squints at the team, clearly frustrated. OUKA: We're a soon-to-be Exploration Team, Team Light-Fang! We want to help anyone in need, and you definitely look like you need help! RUBY: have patience sir, she's just very hyper... RELLOR: Umph. Well, whatever. Any frustration the Dung Beetle Pokemon had turns to sadness as he lowers his head in defeat. RELLOR: It's just... I found this really pretty golden orb to roll around instead of this crummy mud ball... but I accidentally let it roll down a hill around Drenched Bluff! RELLOR: I'm too afraid to go looking for it since there has been talk of a Wild One roaming around, I refuse to deal with that! My golden treasure might as well be forever lost now... OUKA: Don't worry, we'll get it for you!! Ruby tilts her head at Ouka with uncertainty. RUBY: ...will we? OUKA: Of course!! You gotta show some faith if we're gonna be a Team, Ruby!! RELLOR: Okay, but are you all sure about this? Life goes on, you know. I don't wanna send you lot to a potentially dangerous place just to retrieve a measly gold nugget.

OUKA: We'd do it, anyways, if it's so important to you!! That's what Explorers do!! RUBY: ...i guess so. hopefully this is just a relaxing walk after all the work i've had to do... NOVA: Is Gold Tasty RELLOR: IT'S NOT FOR EATING!!!!!

PMD Nightfall - Ruby D’arbey Ref Sheet

[pmdnightfall]

A bell loudly rings throughout the building, signaling the end of classes for today.

TRIP: 'Bout time! Hey Ouka, you up for some cards later? OUKA: Thanks but not today, I'm going to be busy!! TRIP: Hm, alright.

OUKA: Ugh!! These classes are going to be torture from now on… RUBY: alola, ouka! you seem more anxious today than usual.

OUKA: Ah, Ruby. I wanted to see you, actually!! RUBY: i see you're wearing the crystal i found, huh? OUKA: O-Oh yeah! Thanks for the present, Ruby!! I love it!! Ouka holds Ruby's hands as she smiles brightly, chipper as always. RUBY: haha, i thought you'd like it. RUBY: we find these sometimes, but i don't personally have any need for them, so i figured it'd make a good hatchday present for my friend. OUKA: You figured right! Oh, wait, about seeing you... I'm finally going to form an Exploration Team!! RUBY: oh? how come? OUKA: I finally found one!! A Human-turned Pokemon, lying right at the beach!! RUBY: ...have you? that is rather uncanny... While the Five Star Pokemon grew a bit concerned by Ouka's statement, moreso how unusual of a situation it was, Ouka kept her usual excitement. OUKA: Their name is Nova!! Actually, they should be around here, you should meet them!! NOVA: Hello I Am Here

OUKA: Hi Nova, hi Mr. Maeda!! RUBY: greetings, sir. and nova...? MAEDA: Hope you all had fun today! I have some good news for you, Ouka. We have arranged a few things today so that Nova can join you in class. OUKA: Oh my gosh, really?? That's awesome, thank you, Mr. Maeda!! RUBY: something tells me if he wasn't such a nice pokemon, you'd have been begging constantly for nova to get a seat with us... OUKA: Shut!! Maeda laughs softly, both the chemistry between his students and the respect they have for him making the Wigglytuff ever prouder. MAEDA: That's it for me today. I will see you next time, and remember; smiles go for miles! Ruby crosses her upper pair of arms as their teacher leaves. RUBY: have to wonder if he always says that out of obligation... OUKA: Never mind that, look Nova, this is Ruby, one of my best friends!! NOVA: Hello Ruby I Am Called Nova RUBY: hi! glad to meet ouka's "human" buddy, you seem like a nice 'mon. NOVA: Thank You OUKA: Let's get outta here already, I'll tell you more on the way back!

[pmdnightfall]

NOVA: What Is This MAEDA: It's a Perfect Apple! Something you can actually eat, and it's my favorite too! Here's one for you. NOVA: ... NOVA: Thank You The Espurr takes the apple after examining it for a few seconds, then takes a small bite out of it.

NOVA: ! NOVA: It Is NOVA: It Is Very Delicious MAEDA: Haha. They are, aren't they? They are grown in a forest a ways from here, called Apple Woods. I always make sure to get stocked up on them whenever I am able to. NOVA: I Will Remember It NOVA: Much Appreciated Mister Maeda MAEDA: Not a problem, Nova. Let’s take you in, we’ll do our best to help you!

--- --- ---

MELODY: Hmm… They’re unusually shaggy-looking and seem a bit malnourished, but otherwise there’s nothing off. NOVA: Shaggy…? MELODY: Hahaha, don’t worry about it, you’ll be fine~

MAEDA: That’s good to hear. The Wigglytuff scratches his chin, contemplative. MAEDA: I am still not sure where they could have come from… I remember Ouka mentioning that she found them on the beach just yesterday. MELODY: Don’t dwell too much on it, Tommy~ MELODY: Wherever it was, this Pokemon is in a better environment now. They’ve got Ouka and Mr. Yotsuba… And of course, us~ Maeda lightens up after hearing her words. MAEDA: That’s true… I suppose there’s nothing to worry about, for now. I will go talk to the headmistress and see if we can get both them and Ouka together. MAEDA: In the same class, I mean. MELODY: Chihihi, I bet she’d be very grateful for that! This is why everyone admires you~ Maeda puts on a bashful smile while cupping his cheeks. MAEDA: H-Hey, you do not have to go that far…! NOVA: Maeda Can I Have Another Perfect Apple I Finished The Other One MAEDA: Sure, here you go, buddy.

Nova proceeds to practically eviscerate the Perfect Apple in seconds.

MAEDA: You know Melody, this does make me feel a bit better about my obsession with these things.

A Chatot hums throughout the hallways of the academy, enjoying a rare and short-lived moment of tranquility. CHORD: Hrn?

Unfortunately, said tranquility comes to a halt once he looks through the window to his side. CHORD: ...What the heck is that?

Realization sets in as Chord looks closer, witnessing Nova helping themself to a delicious lamppost.

CHORD: CROOAAAARR!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! The Chatot, predictably, flips the hell out, wasting no time in running through the building at incredible speeds and making way to where Nova is. CHORD: Y-YOU THERE! You can't just climb and CHEW on the lamp post!

NOVA: Why CHORD: This is INCREDIBLY dangerous! You could get INJURED doing that, young mon! Get down from there this instant! NOVA: But This Is One Of The Posts That Make Light Right NOVA: I Just Thought It Looked Tasty CHORD: T-Tasty?! The avian is left slack-beaked for a few seconds as he tries to process what he just heard. CHORD: S-SQUAAWK! This isn't a joking matter! MAEDA: Oh, there you are, Chord!

MAEDA: I was just looking for you! CHORD: Tomoe! This is unbelieveable! This Espurr just tried to climb the lamp post, and said it's because they thought it looked TASTY! MAEDA: Oh, it's you! Nova, was it? I guess I should have expected to see you again soon. NOVA: Hi Mr. Maeda lets out a hearty laugh to the confusion of his coworker. CHORD: Er... You KNOW this one? MAEDA: Indeed, Ouka introduced me to them yesterday, as a friend of theirs. According to her, they're an amnesiac human. CHORD: ...There is NO way you actually believe that, yes? MAEDA: Hey now, Ouka is a good student. She can be a bit overexcited and is prone to day-dreaming a lot, but I am willing to at least believe this little mon is more than they appear. NOVA: I Am? MAEDA: Hehe, don't worry about it. Chord, could you please make your way to 2-B? You are up next. CHORD: O-Oh right! My apologies Tomoe, I'll go now! Chord leaves the scene hurriedly. MAEDA: You know, Nova, Chord may be a bit harsh, but he's just looking out for others. These things aren't food! Here...

Ouka arrives at Treasure Academy quickly, alongside a restless Nova, the Espurr not used to sprinting like this.

OUKA: Whew, just in time!! This is our school, by the way!! NOVA: It Looks Nice NOVA: But My Legs Hurt... OUKA: Oops, hehe, sorry, maybe we took off a little too fast... We can rest now, don't worry!! Although...

OUKA: It would be kind of weird if I just showed up to class with someone brand new... I should have thought of that, darn... Even with their mop of hair, the excitable Gligar could tell Nova was looking at her in confusion. OUKA: I-It's okay, nothing to worry about!! I'll be going now, you should rest for a bit, maybe get acquainted with the area... I'll see you soon, Nova!! NOVA: Ok

Nova still isn't sure whether they finished understanding the bat pokemon's rapid-fire dialogue, but they got the jist of it. They suppose taking it easy for now is the best course of action.

And maybe get a snack in the meantime.
